Xi Quan's feelings were understandable, but he decided to keep the idea to himself, since doing so would be akin to inquiring into someone's privacy.
Xi Quan thought that there weren't many people like Liu Yuliang. As a professional manager, Liu Yuliang wasn't fully competent, especially when it came to his family issues...
To be precise, his mother's situation is truly unacceptable.
After pacing silently for a long time, Xi Quan turned around and leaned against his desk, seemingly casually putting his hands in his pockets, and asked Liu Yuliang, "I won't press you about your mother's problem. I'm just asking you, what are you doing about Xu Xiaoyue?"
Liu Yuliang, who had been silent all along, slowly raised his head and looked at Xi Quan after hearing Xi Quan's words.
Xi Quan chuckled: "Don't you understand what I mean?"
Liu Yuliang didn't say anything, but from his expression, Xi Quan could tell that Liu Yuliang didn't quite understand what Xi Quan meant.
Originally, he was finding it difficult to continue his conversation with Liu Yuliang, but now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Xi Quan felt that if he could get Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue to divorce, it would be a good thing.
From the company's perspective, they are not afraid of any unexpected problems after the release of the Zitai fashion line.
From a selfish perspective, if he could persuade Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue to divorce, he would also be well-received by Ye Qing.
However, if Liu Yuliang still doesn't quite understand what to do, Xi Quan feels there's no need to keep Liu Yuliang in the outfit.
So Xi Quan adjusted his posture again, took his hands out of his pockets, and rested them on the desk. He said casually, "Everyone knows about Xu Xiaoyue's relationship with your mother. I think you know what everyone's attitude was at first. They were all indignant towards Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law, that is, your mother. But after the news has been around for a while, everyone is tired of it. They all think that if Xu Xiaoyue doesn't get a divorce after all this, then she doesn't deserve everyone's sympathy."
Given this sentiment among the audience, do you think Xu Xiaoyue can still tolerate this?
According to the news, your mother caused such a big scene at the scene where Xu Xiaoyue was filming an advertisement.
In this situation, Xu Xiaoyue is facing pressure not only from your family, but also from the advertisers. What do you think Xu Xiaoyue will do?
After being asked this question by Xi Quan, Liu Yuliang fell silent again, but his answer after the silence was still unoriginal: "I will find a way to deal with my mother. As for divorce... I will not get a divorce."
Hearing Liu Yuliang say this, Xi Quan stared at him quietly for a long time, then couldn't help but angrily tap the table with his fingers, "Liu Yuliang, you are now the general manager of Zitai Fashion, you know that, right? Every move you make is not just your own problem."
Because of Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue's relationship, I haven't said anything about your private affairs. But now, at this crucial moment when Zitai Fashion is going public, your mother is causing trouble again and again. Xu Xiaoyue is an actress and a public figure, so any little thing she does is big news.
The investment bank that helped us with the IPO just called and made it clear that you need to handle your personal matters well, otherwise it will affect the listing of Zitai Fashion. You know this, and you're the one who told me about the call from the investment bank.
Now you're telling me you don't want a divorce?!
Liu Yuliang opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back.
But Xi Quan became increasingly angry. "I admit that I didn't have much ambition for Zitai Fashion at first. Putting aside the relationship between Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue, let's just talk about the launch of Zitai Fashion."
As you know, the listing of Zitai Fashion was actually a stepping stone for my current company to go public. If things go well, my current company will also go public after Zitai Fashion goes public.
So whether it's at Zitai Fashion or my current company, I've already invested a lot of real money.
I won't go into how much money the company has invested, but you're the general manager of Zitai Fashion, you know that. So much money has been poured in. Even if I didn't care, Zitai Fashion couldn't possibly have just ignored everything. Now that you're not handling things well, if the IPO falls through, putting aside everything else, just look at yourself—how will you continue in this industry afterward?"
Liu Yuliang clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely anxious. He knew that what Xi Quan said was true.
If the launch of Zitai Fashion fails, it's obvious why, without needing to say anything. At that point, Zitai Fashion will no longer appoint Liu Yuliang to such an important position as general manager.
If he stops acting like a fashion icon and goes to another company, they might not necessarily want Liu Yuliang. After all, given how indecisive he is in handling family matters, anyone would wonder if he would be the same way in business.
By then, all of Liu Yuliang's achievements at Zitai Fashion will be useless; no one will care.
Xi Quan's words weren't exactly a wake-up call, because Liu Yuliang already knew, but he just couldn't make up his mind. After all, he had liked Xu Xiaoyue since he entered university, and it had been more than ten years. They had finally gotten together, so how could he give up so easily?
Seeing that Liu Yuliang remained silent, Xi Quan said, "It seems you still don't want a divorce?"
Liu Yuliang's reluctance was obvious, and Xi Quan's question seemed a bit redundant. However, Liu Yuliang felt that he should say something out of social etiquette. Before he could even open his mouth, Xi Quan's assistant pushed the door open and came in: "Mr. Xi, everyone is waiting in the conference room."
Xi Quan glanced at Liu Yuliang, then composed himself and, while buttoning his suit jacket, said to Liu Yuliang as he walked out, "Let's go listen to who's in the meeting. You know, it's people from investment companies and investment banks, people who are involved in whether the company can go public."
Everyone could imagine what would be discussed at the meeting, but Xi Quan had no choice but to deal with it. Liu Yuliang also knew, but he had no choice but to go along, since it was about their own business.
The meeting was actually quite simple. Although everyone had a lot to say, the central idea was that Liu Yuliang must handle his personal affairs properly, or resign and no longer serve as the general manager of Zitai Fashion.
Some of the delegates were even more unpleasant, saying that because Liu Yuliang has such a mother, it would be best for him to resign now before things get worse, so that if he doesn't want a divorce, he can simply stay in the marriage.
The meeting was considered over after almost everyone who attended emphasized it.
Everyone left one after another, leaving only Xi Quan and Liu Yuliang in the conference room. Xi Quan said, "Let's get a divorce."
