Chapter 459
Chapter 459
Ye Yuning hung up the phone, rolled around on the bed several times, and occasionally let out sounds of irritation.Chen Wei came out after her shower and saw the anxious look on her face.
Drying her hair, she approached. "Boss, are you okay?"
"There’s trouble!" Ye Yuning said hopelessly.
Hearing there was trouble, Chen Wei couldn’t help but frown.
She really didn’t want to hear anything ’trouble’-related from her boss right now... With the studio in such chaos, any more problems would truly drive her insane.
Ye Yuning asked, "Do you think Xiao Qiye and Qin Dashao aren’t normal? Like they’re some kind of mutants?"
"What happened with them now?" Chen Wei’s tone soured upon hearing it was those two. After all, those two were the cause of all the studio’s troubles.
Ye Yuning pounded the duvet with her fists. "They’re joining forces against me."
Chen Wei: "..."
Upon hearing that, she felt a shiver run down her spine.
No way, they’re teaming up? What on earth did Boss do to deserve both of them coming at her together?!
Ye Yuning said, "Is that what liking someone means? Who would want that kind of affection?"
"Who likes you?"
"Qin Jinchuan! He likes me!"
Chen Wei: "..."
Speaking of this, Ye Yuning became even more agitated. Why would Aye say Qin Jinchuan likes her? Is that how someone acts when they like a person? It looked more like he was trying to destroy her!
Hearing this, Chen Wei’s lips twitched. "That—that’s highly unlikely, right?"
"Yeah, I also think it’s impossible."
Up until now, their interactions have been practically life-or-death struggles. How could that be considered liking someone? If you liked someone, wouldn’t you treasure them? Just like Aye treasures her, and she treasures Aye! That’s what liking someone is supposed to be, right?
"And he even told me to go and yield to Qin Dashao. If I actually did that, he’d probably get even more full of himself, wouldn’t he?" Ye Yuning wore a conflicted expression.
She felt completely numb. It was as if she no longer recognized the world; everything felt so abnormal, even dangerously unfamiliar.
Chen Wei also felt that Qin Dashao’s previous tactics against their boss were clearly intended to crush her.
"Who told you that he likes you?"
In Chen Wei’s opinion, whoever said that probably wasn’t thinking straight. Judging by Qin Jinchuan’s actions, it didn’t resemble liking someone in the slightest.
Ye Yuning didn’t answer who had said it.
Regardless, she just felt incredibly frustrated...
"Let’s get to sleep. We have to rush to discuss collaborations tomorrow," Chen Wei suggested.
Ye Yuning nodded and closed her eyes.
Previously, she always had her own room. But today her foot was injured, so if there was anything she couldn’t manage, she’d need Chen Wei’s help.
The moment she closed her eyes, Xiao Linye’s words replayed in her mind.
Qin Jinchuan liked the *old version* of her? Where did that idea even come from?! Could Qin Jinchuan have told him? After all, he and Qin Jinchuan knew each other now. Still, the fact that Xiao Linye actually believed it left Ye Yuning speechless.
That night, Ye Yuning did not sleep well.
Perhaps she had grown used to having Xiao Linye by her side. Suddenly not being able to hold him felt a little strange.
「The next morning.」
She woke up early.
Still drowsy, she heard Chen Wei taking a call in the bathroom. A cup of warm water sat on her bedside table.
Ye Yuning had just drunk half of it when Chen Wei came out of the bathroom.
Seeing Ye Yuning awake, she approached with a serious expression. "Boss!"
"Whose call was it?"
"It’s from Upper City. We basically have no cooperating companies left there now."
Ye Yuning: "..."
No cooperating companies left? Well, it doesn’t really matter.
Last night, Ma Di and Lei An had called to say that several projects in South City and North City were already settled. During the negotiations, they had even deliberately mentioned the current feud between their studio and the Xiao Family.
However, the clients from South City and North City didn’t seem to care much about the Upper City Xiao Family. They casually mentioned that if necessary, they could even help relocate the studio to their cities.
So, in business, there’s always someone more powerful...
Ye Yuning said, "If they’re gone, they’re gone. It doesn’t matter."
A partner who would terminate a contract over a single word from the Xiao Family wasn’t reliable for the long term anyway.
Hearing Ye Yuning say this, Chen Wei nodded. "Alright, then we’ll expedite things on our end. Will we be relocating the studio later?"
"The headquarters will remain in Upper City, and we’ll establish branches in South City, North City, and Luozhou." After all, the volume of collaborations in these cities was now substantial, and it was too time-consuming for designers to keep traveling back and forth.
Chen Wei nodded. "Okay."
She hadn’t expected that Xiao Qiye and Qin Dashao joining forces would actually push their boss to expand the business significantly! After all, Boss had been so lazy before, even unwilling to venture outside Upper City. If she had been willing, the studio probably wouldn’t just be number one in Upper City by now...! Now, an Upper City headquarters! Wasn’t this a direct slap in the face to Xiao Qiye and Qin Dashao?
"If Qin Dashao and Xiao Qiye found out, they’d probably be so furious they’d keel over, right?" Thinking about this made Chen Wei excited.
