"Ye Qing, you..." Ye Shuwei wanted to explain his relationship with Ye Qing, but seeing Ye Qing's attitude, he knew he might be a little too hasty.
"I'm fine. Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." With that, Ye Qing turned and left without looking back.
Ye Qing had originally planned to go to the library, but now she wasn't in the mood for it anymore and decided to head straight back to her dorm.
Halfway there, Xu Xiaoyue caught up with Ye Qing: "The person you were talking to just now is supposedly the famous designer David? You..."
Seeing that Ye Qing's eyes were a little red, Xu Xiaoyue swallowed the rest of her words and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Qing shook his head: "It's nothing, you saw it?"
"I saw Liu Wei, and she seemed suspicious, so I followed her. Who knew she was following you?"
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing wasn't too surprised. Seeing how worried Xu Xiaoyue was about him, Ye Qing changed the subject and talked about something happy.
"You mean you're planning to ask Taizi Fashion to let me model the women's clothing you designed?" Xu Xiaoyue's attention was indeed diverted after hearing Ye Qing's words, and she was very excited.
Ye Qing's entry for the Zitai Fashion competition is a set of couple outfits, one for each gender. She plans to ask Liang Youjie for the male outfit, and Xu Xiaoyue for the female outfit.
After all, when Ye Qing was short of money, it was Xu Xiaoyue who took her to shoot calendars. Although Ye Qing didn't shoot many times, she still made money.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's excited expression, Ye Qing couldn't help but pour cold water on her enthusiasm: "This is just my idea. Whether it will work in the end is still uncertain."
"I know you're thinking of me, that's good enough. As for whether it will work out, that's up to fate." Xu Xiaoyue was very open-minded. Although she was happy for Ye Qing, she still had some concerns. After hesitating for a moment, thinking that she and Ye Qing were so familiar with each other, she still expressed her thoughts: "Ye Qing, I'm not trying to discourage you, but how can you be so sure that you'll be selected?"
At first, Ye Qing was not confident. She even gave up hope, only hoping that her unique design of couple outfits would attract the attention of designers.
However, when people from Zitai Fashion came to her, including Ye Shuwei, it wasn't that Ye Qing was trying to flatter herself. She felt that if she didn't have a chance, Zitai Fashion wouldn't have contacted her. They gave her the impression that they might have chosen her design and were planning to mass-produce it.
The school and Zitai Fashion have a cooperative relationship, so the selection process can't be said to be unfair, but it is relative. If there are good designs among the graduating seniors, they won't choose me. Since they have chosen me, there is a high probability that I am the one selected.
After sharing her thoughts with Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing suddenly remembered what Xu Xiaoyue had just said: "You were with Liu Wei? So Liu Wei also saw me talking to that David?"
Xu Xiaoyue nodded, not quite understanding why Ye Qing suddenly brought this up again.
Thinking about what Liu Wei had told her before, that she was naive and that there was a competitive relationship between Zitai Fashion and Ye Shuwei, Liu Wei clearly didn't want her to have an easy time.
So, for her own sake, would she secretly tell Taizi Fashion about her meeting with Ye Shuwei?
Previously, Ye Qing thought Liu Wei probably didn't know anyone from Zitai Fashion, but now that Liu Wei and Ye Shuang have a good relationship, it wouldn't be difficult to sow discord through Ye Shuang.
If Taizi Fashion finds out that Ye Shuwei contacted them, and if they really like their designs, they should still contact them.
As they were thinking, Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue arrived at the dormitory entrance. As soon as they entered, they heard the dormitory supervisor say, "Ye Qing, right? Here's your phone number."
At that time, university dormitories did not have individual telephones; usually, there was one telephone per dormitory building, and the dormitory supervisor was responsible for answering the phone and calling people.
Hearing the dormitory supervisor call his name, Ye Qing took a few steps back and answered the phone.
"Hello, Ye Qing, I'm Yang Zi. Do you remember who I am?"
Hearing the other party's straightforward words, Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, but then became a little excited. Thinking about the possibilities she had considered on the way back, Ye Qing nervously swallowed and nodded. Remembering that she was on the phone, Ye Qing quickly said, "I know."
"I'm at your school gate right now, is it convenient for us to meet?"
Ye Qing, of course, wouldn't refuse, and went to see Yang Zi as soon as she hung up the phone.
Yang Zi took Ye Qing to a coffee shop near the school gate. Without beating around the bush, Yang Zi asked directly, "I saw you meeting with David just now? He's also taken a liking to your designs?"
I thought it was Liu Wei who said it, but I didn't expect Yang Zi to see it with her own eyes.
Although he currently appears to be in a very desirable position, and the situation is frankly very advantageous for Ye Qing, he will not be blindly excited or proud.
She's still a student, so there's no rush. If she's going to do something, she should proceed steadily and surely.
Ye Qing did not hide the fact that Ye Shuwei had sought her out.
Yang Zi said, "Our company's people have already met with you and expressed that they are very optimistic about your designs. So, can we talk about future collaborations?"
Ye Qing didn't nod hastily. "I don't underestimate myself, but I'm not blindly arrogant either. I'm only a freshman. Even if you think I might have some talent, I'm curious, are my clothing designs really that good that you came to me right after this not-so-formal competition with our school?"
Yang Zi admires Ye Qing's designs; she does indeed have talent and keen insight in design, but she is also a very intelligent person.
After staring at Ye Qing for a while, Yang Zi said, "Our company sounds impressive, but we've only just started making money. We currently hold the market share in the mid-priced fashion segment."
But who knew that David had already started working in secret? A few days ago at the first fashion expo, he partnered with a clothing factory in the south of the city, which caused a surge in orders for the factory's mid-priced clothing, taking away a lot of our market share.
The Spring Festival is a particularly active time for the clothing market, and we need to seize this opportunity. Previously, due to a lack of awareness of potential challenges, we were still offering the same old styles for the Spring Festival.
It's almost November to December now, and the Spring Festival is in February this year. So, the period from December to February is the time when people selling clothes make money.
It's understandable that Zz1tai Fashion is in such a hurry. Although they held a fashion show a while ago, the clothes they wore were too thin to wear during the Spring Festival; they would freeze people to death.
Ye Qing's design just happens to be for this season.
Yang Zi was candid, and Ye Qing didn't hold back either, saying, "Cooperation is fine, but I have conditions."
