Chapter 693 A Mutually Beneficial Relationship



Whether Ye Shuang was telling the truth or not, Ye Qing didn't bother to tell, but in Ye Qing's opinion, it was probably true, because after separating from Huang Yu, Ye Shuang had obviously become different from before.

As for the extent of Huang Yu's role in all of this, Ye Qing didn't care at all. The reason she mentioned Huang Yu to Ye Shuang was simply because Yang Zi had mentioned Huang Yu earlier.

Since Ye Shuang herself was fine, Ye Qing naturally didn't care.

Ye Shuang thought that was the end of it, but after taking a couple of steps, she suddenly said "thank you" to Ye Qing in a very serious tone.

Hearing this, Ye Qing, who was going up the stairs, stumbled and quickly grabbed the railing next to the stairs to steady herself.

After calming herself down, Ye Qing asked Ye Shuang without directly answering, "Why are you suddenly saying such cheesy things?"

I'm so unaccustomed to it!

Although Ye Qing and Ye Shuang have been in more contact now, they don't actually have the intimacy of sisters. They are more like mutually beneficial business partners.

Ye Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of partnership, because compared to others, given the past grievances between her and Ye Shuang, this mutually beneficial relationship was actually more stable.

"I've always wanted to say this, but sometimes I feel that a simple thank you isn't enough to express my feelings. I've already apologized before, so even though a simple thank you might not be enough, it's always good to say it, for everyone..."

Ye Shuang stood on the stairs, looking at Ye Qing who was standing on the same step. "Back then, when I broke up with Yang Zi's son, although you may not have done it for me, I broke up with him because of you. Otherwise, I would be in trouble now because of what he is going through. Later, whether you were with Huang Yu or broke up with him, whether you used me at work or something else, I have always learned a lot from you. So thank you."

Ye Qing was unintentional and mostly acting in his own self-interest. So when Ye Shuang suddenly became so serious, Ye Qing felt a little embarrassed. If it wasn't a big deal, he would seem too perfunctory in the face of Ye Shuang's seriousness, but it wouldn't be good to say nothing either.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qing said, "No need for thanks. I still hope that we can benefit each other and cooperate well in the future. I have always believed that every woman can be her own queen. She doesn't need to depend on a man to become a princess. Compared to depending on a prince to become a princess, I would rather be my own queen."

It suddenly had a bit of an inspirational, motivational feel to it, but whether it was inspirational or not, Ye Qing genuinely thought it made a lot of sense, and she solemnly said to Ye Shuang, "Let's encourage each other."

Ye Qing's lack of sentimentality made Ye Shuang feel much less uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "Let's encourage each other."

"Let's go, the producer is still waiting. It'll be easier to settle things sooner rather than later." To prevent Ye Shuang from suddenly getting emotional again, Ye Qing took control of the situation in the Chinese-language media.

Because of Ye Qing's words, Ye Shuang didn't continue the slightly sentimental topic from before. However, after taking a few steps, Ye Shuang thought of something, stopped and looked at Ye Qing: "Judging from what Yang Zi said just now, she also wants to cooperate with the production team. So, is it possible for us to talk to the producer now?"

This was indeed a problem. Ye Qing paused for a moment, then stopped rushing upstairs and asked Ye Shuang, "Do you know the general plot?"

"I know, didn't I tell you before? It's a modern TV series about struggling in the city. However, since it revolves around the industry of models and designers, there are height requirements for the actors. That's why people from our company have a chance. Otherwise, the production team wouldn't have asked models to act in the series. Also, the director and other people in this production team are all very talented. They are the kind of people who are very successful in the industry."

Ye Shuang didn't understand Ye Qing's question at all. After thinking for a moment, she looked up at the sign of the film crew's base right in front of her and said, "Let's talk first."

Since they had arrived, Ye Shuang didn't say much, but she was still a little uneasy.

But Ye Qing was alright, feeling that he might not necessarily lose.

Yang Zi had just left, and the director and producer of the crew were still in a meeting, so when Ye Qing and Ye Shuang went over, it was just in time. After introducing themselves, the producer didn't exchange many pleasantries with Ye Qing and went straight to the point.

"To be honest, we've talked to several companies about clothing, but we haven't reached an agreement yet. So you need to explain your strengths," the producer said bluntly.

Ye Qing liked this kind of straightforward approach, so she said directly, "I haven't read your script yet. I only heard a little about the general outline of the play you're going to film from Ye Shuang. But from what Ye Shuang told me, I can roughly imagine that your play involves a costume design company and the profession of model, so the actors' clothes in the play can't be too casual."

Of course you want to work with big brands, but big brands may not be willing to work with you. After all, once they become big brands, they don't lack brand recognition and don't need to compromise with you. If you use clothing from big brands, the production team may have to pay for it themselves, which can be a considerable sum. Smaller manufacturers, like Yang Zi, who just came to talk to you, are an option.

Ms. Yang's status in the design industry was once unquestionable, but the key issue now is that she has no designers under her, only a factory. Her factory can only be called a garment factory; to put it bluntly, it makes clothes, not designs them. Of course, you can ask Ms. Yang to design for you, but what about the timeframe? You need quite a lot of clothing, and it can't be produced in a short period of time.

The key point is, no matter who you partner with, you'll need to invest money, right?

Ye Qing's analysis is correct.

The production team is currently facing the same problem Ye Qing mentioned: collaborating with big brands costs too much money, and their budget is insufficient. Collaborating with small factories represented by Yang Zi is not quite in line with the message conveyed in their TV series.

To be more specific, there are all sorts of problems that have prevented the costumes for the show from being finalized yet.

However, the production team certainly wouldn't tell Ye Qing the intricacies of the situation. Although they agreed with what Ye Qing said in their hearts, they remained noncommittal on the surface. After hearing Ye Qing's words, the producer and director exchanged glances, somewhat dismissive, but jokingly remarked, "It's not like you're asking us for a free collaboration."

Although it was clear that the crew didn't quite take Ye Qing seriously, they said it in a joking tone, so the atmosphere wasn't too awkward. However, after Ye Qing answered them, the room fell completely silent. Everyone looked at each other, and even Ye Shuang didn't quite understand what Ye Qing meant.
