"Hello, Mr. Dai, what can I do for you?"
"It's nothing important. I just heard that Xie Chenlu applied for a job at your studio, and I wanted to give you a heads-up. It's good that young people know how to respect industry seniors, but don't be fooled by their sweet talk... Ye Li, you know what I mean?"
"I don't quite understand."
"..."
"...Let me be frank with you. Xie Chenlu was the chief designer at my company, Daien, but I don't believe you don't know what he did. Breach of contract, arson...any one of those crimes would be enough to make him infamous in the industry. Ye Li, you think you can use someone like that for your own purposes? Aren't you afraid he'll become a ticking time bomb and explode one day? I'm only doing this because of Master Fu..."
"etc!"
Ye Li laughed, "Don't I know how to save face for my husband? Do I need you to tell me? President Dai, what really happened back then is known only to heaven, earth, you, and Xie Chenlu. As for me, I have absolutely no interest. Thank you for your kindness! However, I also have something I'd like to say to President Dai..."
After the conversation quieted down, Ye Li said in a deep voice, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
"Ye Li!"
Dai Qingzhou seemed to be angered, and her voice rose several degrees.
Ye Li remained unmoved. "Didn't you say that any one of those charges would be enough to get Xie Chenlu into serious trouble? But President Dai, aside from those underhanded tactics, all we've done publicly is terminate the contract with Dai En."
If Xie Chenlu really did break the contract and then set fire, we can sue him for breach of contract, and the compensation would probably be hundreds of thousands or even millions.
Not to mention arson, that's a crime.
Nothing happens.
Both official reports and Diane's press conference stated that the incident was caused accidentally inside the venue.
There were only rumors circulating privately that Xie Chenlu started the fire, and that Dai En, considering he was one of her own and the chief designer, didn't want to lose face and reputation, so she downplayed the incident.
Over the years, Diane has become very powerful, and she has said these things so often that listeners have taken them seriously, and the speaker has also come to believe them.
But Ye Li didn't believe it.
People can be hypocritical, but works of art are not.
A hypocritical and morally corrupt person could not have designed Xie Chenlu's works.
Originally, I wanted to give Ye Li a heads-up, which could be seen as a senior taking care of a junior.
Whether Ye Li listens or not is her own business.
Dai Qingzhou didn't expect that Ye Li would not only be unresponsive to her words, but would also openly and subtly criticize her, almost accusing her of colluding with Dai En.
That's all I have to say. Well then... take care of yourself!
Dai Qingzhou sneered, "Ye Li, until we meet again!"
The dazzling colors of July.
August is like a song.
In both competitions, just in terms of the number of participants, Diane completely overwhelmed Ye Li Studio.
Dai Qingzhou didn't believe that Ye Li, Wan Mingyi, and Xie Chenlu could defeat so many talented designers at Dai En Studio.
Well... we'll see!
Feeling confident of victory, Dai Qingzhou couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile after hanging up the phone.
Everyone in the industry praises Ye Li to the skies; she hasn't even graduated yet, and she's already been hailed as a dark horse designer.
She had seen Ye Li's works, but they were nothing special.
If she were in Dane Studio, she wouldn't even be able to become a mid-level designer, let alone a senior or chief designer.
The Fu Group is the largest investor in Imperial University Research.
Fu Yanci's shadow is also behind "Brilliant You".
Not to mention that the Fu family was one of the major clients of the "Charity Night".
Whether Ye Li is a truly talented dark horse designer or was simply promoted by Fu Jiaqiang, only they themselves know.
Even so, thinking of Xie Chenlu, Dai Qingzhou couldn't help but grip the mouse tightly.
Five years have already passed.
She realized that no one could threaten her position in Diane anymore.
With just Ye Li Studio, Xie Chenlu couldn't cause any real trouble.
Dai Qingzhou's emotions gradually calmed down.
...
Ye Li entered the classroom right on time.
As the end of the semester approaches, students are busy with classes and reviewing, while also contacting studios for internships next semester. During breaks, the classroom is filled with chattering and discussion.
Ye Li is even busier.
When her phone started vibrating, Ye Li couldn't help but smile.
[Mr. Ye, could you please check what day Mr. Fu's appointment is scheduled for?]
Even through the screen, you could feel the man's resentment. Ye Li smiled and replied, "Oh dear, we've arrived. Mr. Fu, are we making it in time?"
Fu Yanci replied instantly with a "wait for me" emoji.
We had lunch at a private restaurant near Imperial University.
As they ate and chatted, Fu Yanci seemed to be in a very good mood. "Next month you're going to Paris for a competition, and I'll be going on a business trip too, so let's go together."
Ye Li was taken aback. "You're going too? Then... what about Brother Mu?"
Fu Yanci paused when Xiao Bao was mentioned.
All I could think about was walking hand in hand with Ah Li on the romantic Champs-Élysées, completely forgetting everything else.
At this moment, thinking of Xiao Bao's pitiful state and Lin Kerou's dark past, Fu Yanci showed a hint of hesitation.
Ye Li blinked. "How about we bring Mu-ge and Grandmother along?"
? ? ?
A romantic trip for two quickly turned into a family trip.
Before Fu Yanci could make a decision, Ye Li had already excitedly called Old Madam Fu.
Even through the phone, Fu Yanci could feel his grandmother's eyes narrowing into slits with laughter. When he looked at Ye Li again, his heart softened.
Madam Fu said that her legs were too old to move.
