Liu Yuliang was not surprised to hear Xi Quan's words. From the company's perspective, Xi Quan's words made sense. Liu Yuliang also knew that his family's affairs were indeed annoying to watch.
However, people are different, and everyone has a different personality and way of dealing with problems.
Liu Yuliang doesn't blame others. He can't make decisions about company matters, but he can make decisions about his personal affairs.
So Liu Yuliang asked, "If I resign now, what are the company's requirements?"
Xi Quan was slightly taken aback.
He had told Ye Qing earlier that the reason he chose to go public at this critical juncture was because he hoped Liu Yuliang would get a divorce.
If he's willing to get a divorce, Xu Xiaoyue will be relieved, and Ye Qing, as her friend, will naturally be happy too.
So to put it bluntly, Xi Quan chose to go public at this time not only because he had already made arrangements with the investment banks, but also because he wanted to curry favor with Ye Qing.
But Xi Quan never expected that Liu Yuliang could be so "persistent"!
They still won't get a divorce.
This persistence is bordering on obsessive!
Xi Quan actually spent very little time living with his biological mother. In addition, Quan Zhen was not good to Xi Quan. Therefore, when faced with interference or harsh criticism from his so-called "mother", Xi Quan always argued his case.
Therefore, Xi Quan could not understand Liu Yuliang's attitude at all.
I don't understand why Liu Yuliang is so lenient with his mother, yet he doesn't let Xu Xiaoyue off the hook either. It seems like he's not thinking about how to solve the problem.
At this point, Xi Quan no longer cared about how to win Ye Qing's favor; his focus was on Liu Yuliang's impending resignation.
It's not that Xi Quan didn't want Liu Yuliang to resign; Xi Quan was worried that if someone as stubborn as Liu Yuliang resigned, how could he guarantee that if Liu Yuliang became stubborn again, he wouldn't take it out on the company?
Xi Quan said, "Resigning is fine, but you should know that you are bound by a non-compete agreement when you resign, which means that you cannot accept employment from a similar company for a period of time after leaving Zitai Fashion."
"Given my current situation, after resigning from Zitai Fashion, no one will hire me, right?" Liu Yuliang chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "So, do you still need me?"
Xi Quan remained calm: "One thing at a time. Non-compete agreements are something every senior executive in the company has to sign when they leave."
Knowing this was normal, Liu Yuliang quickly composed himself: "How many years is the non-compete agreement binding?"
"Normally it's two years, but since Zitai Fashion is about to go public, it's hard to say exactly how long the restriction will last. We need to discuss it with the lawyer first. I'll get back to you by the day after tomorrow at the latest." Xi Quan was very businesslike.
After all, this concerns the overall development of the company, and he cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.
Liu Yuliang didn't say anything more. As he was about to leave, he remembered something and asked Xi Quan, "Does Ye Qing know where Xiaoyue is?"
Xi Quan remained calm: "You know I came back halfway through a business trip. After returning to Nancheng, I came straight to the company without contacting Ye Qing. If Ye Qing knows I'm back, she'll probably see it on the news. So how would I know if Ye Qing has contacted Xu Xiaoyue?"
Liu Yuliang knew that Xi Quan was not lying, because Xi Quan's trip back to Nancheng was not a secret because of the news.
Liu Yuliang still felt that although Xi Quan had not yet contacted Ye Qing, Ye Qing should know where Xu Xiaoyue was.
Seeing that Liu Yuliang still had something to say, Xi Quan didn't give him a chance to speak: "Since you're asking this, do you not know where Xu Xiaoyue is?"
Liu Yuliang nodded.
Xi Quan thought for a moment and said, "You should have thought about looking for Xu Xiaoyue, but you couldn't find her. This means that Xu Xiaoyue doesn't really want you to know where she is. So, if you ask Ye Qing in this situation, even if Ye Qing knows, given her relationship with Xu Xiaoyue, she probably won't tell you."
Liu Yuliang nodded with annoyance; Xi Quan's words made sense.
Actually, given Xi Quan's personality, he didn't want to get involved in so many things, but thinking about the message Ye Qing left on his pager earlier, Xi Quan felt he should help Ye Qing.
Although it seems that Ye Qing is a bit tired taking care of Xu Xiaoyue by himself, Xu Xiaoyue can eat and sleep well and is an adult, so it's not too tiring.
But if Liu Yuliang finds out, Ye Qing will be worried and exhausted.
Mental exhaustion is the most distressing.
After thinking for a moment, Xi Quan asked Liu Yuliang, "After your mother caused a scene on the set of Xu Xiaoyue's advertisement shoot, did you talk to her about it when you got back?"
“I did say that, but…”
When Xi Quan heard Liu Yuliang say this, he stopped asking questions. Wasn't it obvious? "Since you haven't talked to your mother yet, I think it's no use for you to rush to find Xu Xiaoyue now. Haven't you seen what everyone thinks about this? Even the comments in the entertainment news say that Xu Xiaoyue should get a divorce. You can imagine how angry Xu Xiaoyue is."
Whether Liu Yuliang genuinely hadn't considered looking for Xu Xiaoyue or not, after hearing Xi Quan's words, he didn't insist anymore: "That's true. If I find her now, she'll definitely bring up divorce right away, so let's just leave it at that for now."
Xi Quan chuckled lightly, his expression ambiguous.
After Liu Yuliang left, Xi Quan couldn't help but sneer. Liu Yuliang was probably unwilling to part ways with Xu Xiaoyue, whom he had liked for so long, now that they were finally together.
To be honest, Xi Quan doesn't seem to really love Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue is currently pregnant and has encountered such a distressing situation. As her husband, Liu Yuliang is only thinking about how to avoid Xu Xiaoyue and prevent her from bringing up the topic of divorce, without caring about the child in Xu Xiaoyue's belly.
Xi Quan thought this person was really a weirdo.
Xi Quan had been working non-stop for the past few days. Now that things were mostly settled, he was really exhausted. He asked the driver to take him home. Although he knew Ye Qing wasn't there, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Since he hadn't seen Ye Qing for a long time, Xi Quan really missed her, so he called her.
During the phone call, in addition to sharing their feelings, Xi Quan also told Ye Qing about the company's handling of Liu Yuliang's situation.
Ye Qing and Xi Quan shared similar thoughts. Even at this point, Liu Yuliang still insisted on not getting a divorce. If it were someone else, they might think that the husband was showing how much he loved his wife.
However, Liu Yuliang doesn't seem like someone who's deeply in love with Xu Xiaoyue.
Ye Qing couldn't help but feel indignant on Xu Xiaoyue's behalf.
So he lost interest in chatting with Xi Quan.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing turned around and saw that Xu Xiaoyue had woken up at some point. She smiled and asked Xu Xiaoyue if she wanted some water or fruit.
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head: "Liu Yuliang still doesn't want a divorce, right?"
Surprisingly, Xu Xiaoyue overheard his phone call. But since she had heard it and Xu Xiaoyue had asked, Ye Qing felt there was no point in hiding it anymore, so he nodded.
