Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Reusing the Effeminate Tone

Shen Yueru didn’t want to hear Ye Qiu talk about Xiao Mei right now; she just wanted to hear him talk about Xingyue Group and Qingcheng Group.

Following Ye Qiu’s earlier suggestion, the newly recruited and retained fashion designers have already been sent in groups to London, Milan, Paris, and New York for training lasting about six months. Each person is provided with at least half a million in training and living expenses.

Of course, during this period, their salaries remain the same. If they win any major awards during their training, their salaries could be further increased.

Essentially, the money saved by dismissing most of the original designers is now being used to cultivate this new batch of designers.

And naturally, if any of these designers resign or jump ship after completing their training, they are required to compensate Xingyue Group for the training costs at double or even higher rates.

"Those designers have all gone to the four cities in groups, and I heard they’re doing quite well!"

Shen Yueru said.

"How many are still working here now?"

At the beginning, there were a total of thirty-four designers including the ones retained and newly recruited. Five were sent to each of the four cities for training, leaving fourteen designers still working in the design department.

Of course, these designers are also learning during this period, as Ye Qiu personally designed all the autumn lingerie sketches.

"Still fourteen!"

"Did that sissy go yet?"

Shen Yueru knew Ye Qiu was referring to Liu Xueying. Despite Ye Qiu’s mixed impressions of him, Liu Xueying had a solid foundation in fashion design and had studied abroad in Milan.

However, compared to Ye Qiu, he was still far behind.

"Secretary Liu, bring me the list to check!"

When Liu Xiaoli brought over the list of designers who had been sent to the four cities, it was clear Liu Xueying hadn’t gone yet. He was scheduled to be part of the second batch, heading over after the first batch returned in six months.

"He hasn’t gone yet; he’s in the second batch."

Shen Yueru said.

Ye Qiu thought for a moment and quickly said, "That designer, Liu, could be useful to me. I need to groom him for sure."

Shen Yueru didn’t understand.

Secretary Liu was even more baffled.

Just as Shen Yueru was about to ask Ye Qiu how he intended to groom Liu Xueying, Ye Qiu turned to Secretary Liu and said, "Secretary Liu, go fetch that sissy for me personally."

"Understood, Dr. Ye."

Liu Xiaoli got up and left the CEO’s office.

Ye Qiu obviously used the opportunity to dismiss Secretary Liu, then scooted closer to Shen Yueru.

Shen Yueru’s subtle fragrance wafted over, mingling with the enticing scent of her hair. Shen Yueru didn’t know what Ye Qiu wanted to say. When he suddenly moved closer, she appeared slightly flustered.

"How exactly will you groom Director Liu?"

Shen Yueru asked.

"Like this!"

Ye Qiu leaned in and whispered into her ear.

After hearing Ye Qiu’s explanation, Shen Yueru was astonished.

"Can this really work?"

"Of course."

He had promised to bankrupt Qingcheng Group within six months, and he fully intended to deliver. Moreover, Qingcheng Group’s CEO was notorious for his shady dealings. The way he’d instructed Li Yingjun to plagiarize designs and sell them was something Ye Qiu could never tolerate. Allowing Qingcheng Group to thrive would be out of the question.

"If things turn out as you’ve said, I’ll agree to do one thing for you in return!"

Shen Yueru said.

"Anything at all?"

As Ye Qiu stared at her intently, Shen Yueru felt herself getting nervous.

She walked back to her seat instead of sitting on the sofa.

Just as Shen Yueru had settled into her seat, Liu Xiaoli returned with Liu Xueying, the sissy in question.

Ever since Liu Xueying had seen Ye Qiu’s master-level lingerie designs, he had been deeply impressed by Ye Qiu’s talent as a young designer.

In his view, there was no one in the country who could currently rival Ye Qiu.

When he heard from Secretary Liu that Ye Qiu intended to prioritize him, he found it strange. Could Mr. Ye be planning to take him on as a protégé?

Even though he was older than Ye Qiu, to be fair, he wouldn’t mind being Ye Qiu’s apprentice.

When Secretary Liu and Liu Xueying entered, they saw Ye Qiu sitting there.

"Mr. Ye, I heard you were looking for me!"

"Let’s go discuss this outside."

Ye Qiu led Liu Xueying out of the CEO’s office and into the conference room. After closing the door, Liu Xueying couldn’t help wondering why Ye Qiu had brought him here. What was about to happen?

"Director Liu, how well do you think President Shen and Xingyue Group have been treating you?"

"Quite well indeed. I’m very satisfied with the benefits and salary!"

Liu Xueying replied.

Currently, his monthly salary was over 30,000, and with year-end bonuses, it added up to around 40,000. Annually, he earned roughly half a million, which he considered quite decent in Jinling.

Of course, everyone dreams of rising to the next level. If his annual income could exceed one million, Liu Xueying felt he’d truly be free from financial concerns.

"What if Qingcheng Group tried to poach you? Would you switch sides?"

"No way! I’m not like Li Yingjun!"

Liu Xueying quickly responded.

But the faster he spoke, the more effeminate he seemed—his entire demeanor was borderline flirtatious, which made Ye Qiu feel a bit uncomfortable.

"How can you guarantee you’re not like Li Yingjun?"

Ye Qiu sneered.

For most people, loyalty is a fragile concept. Ultimately, it’s often about whether the price is right. If Qingcheng Group offered Liu Xueying a higher price, could he resist the temptation?

Moreover, beauty might end up being a factor that sways him to their side.

Ye Qiu couldn’t afford to take a single misstep now. If this plan failed, taking down Qingcheng Group within six months would become significantly harder.

"Actually, I know Li Yingjun likes President Shen. Part of the reason he betrayed Xingyue Group was because of her."

Liu Xueying coyly glanced at Ye Qiu as he said this.

Ye Qiu had already anticipated this.

But what did it matter? It simply proved Li Yingjun’s ambition ran deep. His interest in Shen Yueru wasn’t just about her beauty—it was likely tied to Xingyue Group’s influence.

For instance, accepting money and even a villa from Qingcheng Group’s CEO revealed his greed as a motivating factor beyond mere revenge.

"I have a task for you. If you pull it off, I’ll help groom you into a fashion design master—that’s not impossible."

"Seriously? Mr. Ye, what’s the task? As long as I can do it, I’m all in!"

Ye Qiu glanced out the window to make sure no one was passing by. Then he disclosed his mental method and plan. When Liu Xueying heard it, his face turned notably pale.

"Scared? If you’re too afraid, I’ll find someone else right now. But remember, you can’t breathe a word of this plan to anyone!"
