"Mr. Yang, what I mean is that since it's a collaboration, shouldn't we be more rigorous? We need to sign contracts and such. Also, although it's a collaboration, I don't want the profits from the clothes sales, but since you used my design, shouldn't you pay some of the corresponding fees?"
After Ye Qing finished speaking, she noticed Yang Zi's interested gaze. She, who had been quite composed, became a little embarrassed. "I'm very short of money, so..."
“You’re still a student, and you’re already making money. Given time, you’ll definitely surpass your teacher.” Yang Zi genuinely thought Ye Qing was capable.
Ye Qing was pleased to be praised by her senior colleague. "Thank you, Mr. Yang," she said.
"I'll go back now and have someone draft the contract. Let's try to finalize this as soon as possible."
"OK."
After reaching an agreement, the two parted ways. Ye Qing returned to school, and Xu Xiaoyue waited anxiously for her. When she saw Ye Qing return, she pulled her out of the dormitory and asked, "How did it go? What did the people from Zitai Fashion want with you?"
Ye Qing didn't rush to answer Xu Xiaoyue's question, but just smiled. Seeing that Xu Xiaoyue was a little flustered by her smile, Ye Qing said, "Xiaoyue, you might be filming an advertisement with Liang Youjie!"
When Ye Qing mentioned this to Xu Xiaoyue before, Xu Xiaoyue didn't pay much attention. She just listened without thinking, thinking that Ye Qing was good at making friends with her.
Hearing Ye Qing say this, Xu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then became very excited: "Really?"
"Of course!" Ye Qing then recounted his meeting with Yang Zi to Xu Xiaoyue.
After saying that, Ye Qing said, "If the sales strategy I came up with works, then you'll be a famous model in the future, after all, you've already filmed an advertisement with Liang Youjie, who's incredibly popular right now."
Xu Xiaoyue said, "If I really become a famous model, I will be your exclusive model, Ye Qing, the great designer."
After saying that, they both laughed. Ye Qing took a deep breath and felt that he had finally taken a big step forward!
The fashion company was also anxious, and the next day Yang Zi came to find Ye Qing with a draft contract and asked Ye Qing to sign it.
Ye Qing glanced at the terms and conditions. Although she didn't know much about the law, as long as her name was on the clothing tag and Taizi Fashion paid the copyright fee, that was enough for her. As a newcomer, Ye Qing knew she couldn't ask for too much else.
The contract was clearly written, and there were no problems, so Ye Qing signed it.
The contract had already been signed by Zitai Fashion before it arrived. Ye Qing just needed to sign it. There were two copies of the contract. Yang Zi put away Zitai Fashion's copy and then said to Ye Qing, "Let's go to the bank and transfer the money to you."
Normally, this kind of thing would be transferred directly from the finance department of Zitai Fashion through the company's bank account. However, since they didn't know Ye Qing's account information beforehand, Yang Zi asked their company's finance staff to wait at the bank while she took Ye Qing there to handle the transaction in person.
On the way, Yang Zi suddenly remembered something: "Ye Qing, you have a lot of influence now. Yesterday, someone from our company tried to contact Liang Youjie, and guess what? Liang Youjie said that since he agreed to help you shoot an advertisement, he can't take on any other clothing advertisements."
Ye Qing said apologetically, "He wanted to help me because we're from the same hometown. He didn't know I was now cooperating with you."
"Then let's say hello to him."
After all this was done, Ye Qing told Liang Youjie, and then took the initiative to call Xi Quan.
Xi Quan was very busy. When Ye Qing called, he was in a meeting. However, since Ye Qing rarely contacted him, Xi Quan called back the phone number Ye Qing had left on his pager. Before calling back, he even planned to end the meeting soon and go see Ye Qing first.
But before Xi Quan could even say a word after the call connected, Ye Qing directly "instructed" him: "Didn't we agree on signing a contract for that shop near the Huamao Hotel last time? Can we sign it now?"
Xi Quan paused slightly, then said, "Yes, anytime."
"Okay, I'll go to the Huamao Hotel in a bit. Who should I sign the contract with?" Ye Qing asked.
Xi Quan glanced back at the conference room. He was in a meeting at the real estate company and couldn't go there right now, so he said, "I'm not at the Huamao Hotel right now. As for the money... why don't you come over here..."
The initial agreement was to borrow money, and Xi Quan hadn't forgotten about it, nor had he considered whether there were other possibilities.
However, Ye Qing said, "No need, I have money now. It's no problem to sign the contract and pay three months' rent for now. As for the rest, it depends on when the building near the knitting factory is demolished. If it's quick, I'll get the demolition compensation. Even if I don't make money at the beginning, I can support myself for a while."
When Xi Quan heard Ye Qing say this on the other end of the phone, he remained silent for a long time. He was so surprised that he suddenly became very angry after the initial surprise: "Ye Qing, where did you get the money? Didn't we agree that I would lend it to you first?!"
Thinking about Ye Qing and Liang Youjie having dinner together, Xi Quan didn't realize that acid reflux was welling up inside him.
"Don't worry, I didn't steal or rob my money." Ye Qing was very happy and didn't notice Xi Quan's anger on the other end of the phone.
Hearing Ye Qing's carefree and even cheerful voice, Xi Quan became even angrier: "Ye Qing, you'd rather borrow money from Liang Youjie than from me, right? Besides, didn't we agree before that I would..."
Ye Qing frowned and interrupted Xi Quan: "What did you say? Why would I ask Liang Youjie for money?"
"Then the rent..."
Ye Qing suddenly realized, recalling Xi Quan's voice just now. Ye Qing wanted to laugh a little, and her cheeks involuntarily turned red. She said, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm talking to you on a public phone. There are a lot of people waiting behind me. I'll come over at three o'clock this afternoon."
Ye Qing hung up the phone after saying that.
Xi Quan listened to the busy tone on the phone, paused for a moment, and muttered to himself, "Where is all this money coming from?"
However, remembering what Ye Qing said on the phone about going to Huamao Hotel at 3 pm, Xi Quan quickly called Huamao Hotel to let them know and asked them to get the rental contract ready.
Then Xi Quan thought he should finish the meeting here as soon as possible so that he could get to the Huamao Hotel in the afternoon.
Ye Qing arrived at the Huamao Hotel early in the afternoon to sign the contract with them. Xi Quan had already made arrangements with the person in charge of check-in at the hotel lobby. Once Ye Qing arrived, he called the hotel's logistics department, who would be responsible for signing the contract with Ye Qing.
Because it was a simple business transaction based on mutual consent, and the rent and other details were agreed upon, Ye Qing quickly signed the contract after arriving.
I didn't expect to run into Kwon Jin when I was leaving.
After being forced to retire by Xi Quan, Quan Zhen hadn't bothered to pack his things. These past two days, he finally felt better and thought he should tidy up, but then he ran into Ye Qing, which ignited the anger that Quan Zhen had been suppressing.
