Yang Zi never expected that Ye Qing would ask her such a question now that she had everything she wanted. Moreover, accepting the order Ye Qing gave her, just as Ye Qing had thought before, was indeed frustrating for Yang Zi.
So when Ye Qing asked that question, Yang Zi's mood obviously worsened. Although they were on the phone and couldn't see each other's expressions, Ye Qing could still clearly feel Yang Zi's emotions from her tone. Ye Qing heard Yang Zi say, "Not answering is like completely breaking ties with you."
"I thought we'd already fallen out long ago?" Ye Qing couldn't help but tease Yang Zi, not expecting her to think that way.
Yang Zi was amused by Ye Qing's words: "Indeed, we have long since fallen out, but if I had nothing and posed no threat to you, you probably wouldn't have done anything to me. But now, although I am still far behind you, at least I have taken over a factory."
If I refuse your order this time, not only will my factory struggle to stay afloat without making money, but for you, refusing it would be tantamount to telling you I don't want your charity. Don't you think we've completely broken off relations? To prevent me from getting back on my feet, and to prevent me from retaliating later, you'll definitely try to suppress me. I really can't withstand your suppression right now, after all, I only have this small workshop-style factory.”
To be honest, Ye Qing hadn't really thought of all that. What Yang Zi said wasn't what Ye Qing was thinking. Otherwise, Ye Qing wouldn't have asked Yang Zi that question after everything was already settled.
Yang Zi's words gave Ye Qing a different perspective. If it were Yang Zi, she would probably think this way.
Regardless of whether Ye Qing thinks that way or not, Yang Zi probably won't do anything now, since the gap between the two has widened and it would be difficult for Yang Zi to fight back.
But since Yang Zi had thought it through so "thoroughly", Ye Qing felt that she should ask her some questions: "I remember that you came to see me a while ago and said that you wanted shares in Zizai Fashion if it went public. Do you still have that idea now?"
"Even if I still want it now, would you give me original shares in Zitai Fashion's IPO?" Yang Zi sneered: "I called you to tell you that whatever orders you give me, I'll accept them. If you need me to sign contracts or anything, just let me know when the time comes. I'll be waiting for your call."
Before Ye Qing could say anything more, Yang Zi hung up the phone.
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow as she held the phone.
Although Yang Zi's tone was very unpleasant on the phone, Ye Qing did not regret what she had said to Yang Zi before, including what she had just said.
From Yang Zi's words, Ye Qing could tell that if she hadn't guessed Yang Zi's intentions, Yang Zi might have been planning a two-pronged approach: taking over the processing plant and secretly working on it herself, while simultaneously taking advantage of the seemingly friendly atmosphere between Yang Zi and Ye Qing regarding Jiang Xinya's matter to successfully acquire the initial shares of Zitai Fashion.
By then, Ye Qing knew Yang Zi's unwillingness to accept defeat, but there wasn't much he could do. After all, Zitai Fashion had already gone public, and as a shareholder, Ye Qing's every move would be scrutinized, thus affecting the stock price fluctuations.
So now Ye Qing's unintentional probing has actually helped him.
Knowing what Yang Zi might do, Ye Qing knew she wouldn't let Yang Zi have the shares. Now she had a business relationship with Yang Zi and her every move was under her watchful eye. Ye Qing felt this was better than letting Yang Zi work hard in secret.
Of course, even now, there's no guarantee that Yang Zi won't do anything behind the scenes. But even if she does, Ye Qing is at least on guard, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.
So Ye Qing's decision to think of Yang Zi this time was a lucky accident.
After going through everything in detail, Ye Qing realized that doing this was currently the most advantageous thing for her, just like her oft-repeated saying, "Once a move is made, there's no going back."
While Ye Qing was on the phone, she caught a glimpse of their studio's regular lawyer arriving. Ye Qing put her phone in the large pocket of her coat and went inside. By now, the lawyer should have finished reviewing the contract drafted by the production team. Ye Qing wanted to hear any revisions needed to avoid any unexpected issues during the collaboration.
After Ye Qing went in, she greeted the lawyer and then glanced at her colleagues in the advertising department.
Ye Qing's colleagues in the advertising department noticed her gaze and immediately understood what was going on. They said, "The lawyer has already reviewed it, and there are no problems with the contract."
Upon hearing this, the lawyer said to Ye Qing, "There's no problem. Now we just need to add the terms you proposed to the other party's draft contract. I'll be working with their lawyer to draft it now."
Seeing that the professionals had all said so, Ye Qing didn't say anything. After the lawyer went to work, producer Brother Wang handed Ye Qing a folder.
After receiving it, Ye Qing glanced at it and saw that it was a list from the props team and costume coordinator, outlining the approximate number of costumes needed.
Actually, this list was compiled when Xu Xiaoyue was the female lead. Although the female lead has changed, the plot and other aspects have not been altered, so using this list is still fine.
After quickly flipping through the list, Ye Qing had a general idea of what was going on, and then handed the list to her colleague for her to see.
My colleague glanced at it and said, "President Ye, according to this list, our studio doesn't need to do anything else. We have enough costumes. However, it says that because of the female lead's profession, there need to be scenes of her in the clothing factory, so..."
The producer was worried about something unexpected happening. Hearing what the other party said, even though he hadn't finished speaking, Brother Wang quickly took over the conversation: "These are some scenes that are necessary in our script because we have a complete storyline, including the female lead's emotional and career storylines. This is a very important part of the female lead's career storyline, and it can't be deleted. The director, screenwriter, and producer's idea is that although we haven't started filming yet, if they feel that something is inappropriate during filming, we can simply not film it. However, this only applies to the female lead's emotional storyline; we intend to keep the career storyline intact."
After speaking, producer Wang realized he hadn't asked the right question, so he said, "As far as I know, companies like yours usually have long-term partnerships with clothing factories. Can't we film there?"
Seeing the producer's anxious expression, Ye Qing explained, "According to the list you provided, costumes are needed here because it's about showcasing the female lead's career achievements. Providing costumes is not a problem, and we do have long-term partnerships with costume factories. However, Brother Wang, it's the time when new costumes are being released. If we shoot at one of our long-term partner factories, our new designs will be exposed."
