Chapter 2161 - 2161 Twins
2161 Twins
“After my mother passed away, my father married Huang Shumin. At the age of six, I was sent to the countryside to be raised by Aunt Lin. When I was in my teens, I made a name for myself in the entertainment industry before you acknowledged me and let me return to the Qiao family. A few years ago, when something happened, you couldn’t wait to get rid of me. Later on, you wanted me to marry someone, so you acknowledged me as a member of the Qiao family again!”
Qiao Weiyang said this casually as if she was talking about someone else.
However, the hardships and hidden pain she had experienced in the past could never be ignored. They had already become the foundation of her personality in the past.
Old Madam Qiao lowered her head in shame, but she still insisted, “You can do anything you want, but it’s impossible for us to give up on Ocean.”
“Okay.” Qiao Weiyang didn’t say anything else. “Liangting, let’s go.”
Li Liangting immediately followed her.
How would Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou dare to let them leave?
If the matter was not discussed properly, all the goods would have to be suspended today. The loss was so great that no one could imagine it or make up for it.
After weighing the pros and cons, they could only make the final choice.
“Qiao Weiyang!” Old Madam Qiao shouted. “Come back.”
“If we have something to talk about, then let’s talk about it. If there’s nothing to talk about, then forget it.” Qiao Weiyang was calm.
Li Liangting asked in a low voice, “Are you sure you don’t want Ocean anymore?”
“Oh, I can create brands like Ocean anytime.”
“Qiao Weiyang, I’ll return Ocean to you. Get Li Liangting to come back and sign the contract!” Old Madam Qiao shouted.
Only then did Qiao Weiyang stop in her tracks. She pursed her lips gently and turned to walk back.
Old Madam Qiao panted heavily. She was obviously furious. With Qiao Jierou’s coaxing, she finally recovered.
“Get… someone to draft the contract,” Old Madam Qiao said weakly.
“No need.” Qiao Weiyang snapped her fingers.
A moment later, a professional legal team appeared with the contract in their hands.
“I’ve already prepared the documents for you. See if there’s any problem.”
Seeing that she had come prepared, Old Madam Qiao felt even more disappointed. It turned out that Qiao Weiyang had already planned everything.
Qiao Jierou gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. She regretted not negotiating with Li Liangting back then and even forcing her to her death. Otherwise, she would still have a chance to win over Li Liangting.
There was no choice. Now that Li Liangting completely trusted Qiao Weiyang, she could only let Qiao Weiyang do whatever she wanted.
After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Old Madam Qiao picked up her pen.
Her fingers trembled as she held the pen. Veins appeared on the back of her already old hand.
Finally, she signed her name.
Qiao Weiyang put away the contract, stood up, and left without looking at them again.
“Grandma.” Qiao Jierou quickly supported the exhausted Old Madam Qiao.
Old Madam Qiao coughed violently.
“Grandma, don’t be angry. Even without Ocean, our Qiao family still has other brands that can be used.”
How could Old Madam Qiao not know that they could still rely on their other brands?
However, the most useful one was still Ocean.
Old Madam Qiao looked at Xu Changfeng coldly.
Xu Changfeng lowered his head and accepted all the blame.
As Ocean was taken away by Qiao Weiyang, they could not continue to use this brand this time.
Qiao Jierou had no choice but to change the brand name for this batch of clothes.
Fortunately, because of the fabric, many clients did not completely return the goods. They planned to proceed with it.
However, in the end, things were still greatly affected. The cost of the clothes had increased a lot because of the last-minute trademark change.
Even if the project that was supposed to be profitable was completed according to expectations, it would only be a small profit.
Qiao Jierou asked Xu Changfeng for compensation according to the company’s rules.
After he compensated, she took out her own money and returned it to him.
Xu Changfeng was very touched. “Jierou, you don’t have to do this at all…”
“It’s okay. Take it.” Qiao Jierou did not want to throw away this useful pawn.
As Xu Changfeng had taken all the responsibility, Lin Heng and Old Madam Qiao had no objections to Qiao Jierou. All their dissatisfaction was directed at Qiao Weiyang.
…
After returning from the meeting with the Qiao family, Qiao Weiyang transferred a sum of money to Li Liangting.
“Weiyang, what are you…”
“You deserve it. If I hadn’t insisted on getting Ocean back, you would’ve gotten the royalties from the Qiao family.”
“I shouldn’t even ask for this money. If you hadn’t helped me apply for a patent before, not only would I have gotten nothing, but I would’ve also been ostracized by everyone in the industry. So this money…”
Qiao Weiyang held her hand. “Take it. You’ll have to work with me after this. You need this sum of money.”
Li Liangting would be embarrassed if she refused again, so she could only accept the money.
“After this, you can come to work in my clothing studio. At the same time, you’ll help me manage the studio.”
Qiao Weiyang’s clothing studio was next to her artiste studio. They were very close to each other, so she could handle things on both sides.
Li Liangting accepted the mission given by Qiao Weiyang, hired a designer, and completely put the studio on the right track.
…
The filming of White Fox was quickly completed.
The filming was completed a full month earlier than the entire production team had expected.
Others might not know, but Director Cao knew that most of it was because Qiao Weiyang’s scenes were filmed quickly.
Her speed gave Director Cao and the production team enough time to shoot other people’s scenes.
The investors were very happy. They took out a sum of money to help the production team finish filming. They let everyone eat and drink for two days. They even booked an entire five-star hotel for a team-building event.
Everyone was very happy. It was no wonder. Their work ended early this time, and the actors and actresses had more time to take on other jobs. The crew members could also continue to join other production teams after receiving the corresponding remuneration.
Everyone was happy.
Therefore, almost no one was absent from the team-building event.
As soon as they entered the hotel, everyone saw the luxurious buffet area and the recreation area with all kinds of entertainment equipment. They could not help but secretly nod.
“In the next two days, the buffet area and recreation area will be open 24 hours a day. Everyone can have fun freely,” Director Cao said with a smile.
“Okay!”
“That’s really great!”
Everyone began to enter.
Qiao Weiyang also went in with everyone.
She was wearing flat-heeled shoes and a casual T-shirt. She was here to rest. She could do whatever she wanted.
Someone suddenly asked, “Why isn’t Qiao Jierou here yet?”
“She said she would be late.”
“Why don’t we wait for her?”
When someone suggested this, others immediately stopped and waited.
