On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 68 Women Hold Up Half the Sky!
“Then I recommend that Sister Zhu Jing join the Women’s Association that the leader mentioned. Not only is she an excellent cook, but she is also very kind and warm-hearted.”

Xiang Qin, sitting next to Zhu Jing, raised her hand to express her opinion. Subsequently, Hou Li and Miao Ling also raised their hands to show their agreement.

Wen Ci followed suit in agreement.

Zhu Jing was the most popular person in the college. Even if she were to run for director of the Women's Association, Wen Ci would wholeheartedly support her.

The leaders on the stage had some impression of Zhu Jing, the new head chef in the cafeteria, and many people had praised the cafeteria food for becoming tastier in recent days.

Zhu Jing blushed with embarrassment at the praise and stood up from her stool: "Boss, I'm not good enough. I'm busy with work in the cafeteria during the day and don't have time to join any women's association. Maybe we should find someone else."

As she spoke, Zhu Jing glanced around and locked her gaze on Wen Ci. She grabbed Wen Ci's arm and forcibly pulled her up from her seat.

"Wen Ci can join the Women's Association. She's also Commander Huo's wife, and she's very responsible."

Wen Ci: "..."

She stared wide-eyed at Zhu Jing, her clear, bright eyes trembling slightly, as if to say, "How could you shift the blame onto me for no reason?"

When Commander Huo's wife appeared, those who didn't know the situation were dumbfounded.

Everyone in the families of the Northwest Military Region knows that Huo Jingyuan is the youngest regimental-level cadre in the Northwest Military Region, only thirty-one years old, with a promising future.

It would be a lie to say I'm not envious of the young and beautiful girl in front of me who is Huo Jingyuan's wife. She's so young and already living in a three-bedroom apartment.

Wen Ci shook her head: "I can't do it. I'm too young to take on the responsibility. The Women's Association still needs the older women from our family compound to participate."

She said that calling someone "elder sister" was not meant to mock their age. In places like family compounds where there are many women, someone who is well-liked and can talk to anyone is needed.

Subsequently, many older people began to volunteer themselves. The Women's Association sounded impressive, and the scene became a complete mess.

The leaders on the stage were jolted awake by the noise. The cheap loudspeaker blared, and the voices in the crowd gradually quieted down: "The president of the Women's Association is the wife of our military region's chief of staff. She will take office in a few days." The three leaders of the Northwest Military Region are: the minister, the regimental political commissar, and the chief of staff.

"We will post the list of the other members in the family compound in a few days."

After the meeting ended, Wen Ci stared intently at Zhu Jing, pursed her lips, and said indifferently, "Sister Jing, aren't you deliberately setting me up?"

"No." Zhu Jing waved her hand: "I genuinely think it's better for you to join the Women's Association than for me."

Her husband was just an ordinary soldier in the Northwest Military Region, so her joining the Women's Association didn't have much of an impact; popularity alone wasn't enough.

Unlike Wen Ci, her man is Huo Jingyuan.

The living Yama is famous far and wide, and everyone will give her some face because of her reputation.

Zhu Jing opened her mouth, but didn't say what was on her mind.

There were other family members around, so it wasn't convenient to tell the truth.

After everyone had mostly dispersed, Zhu Jing lowered her voice and said, "Why did you recommend me? You should recommend the Fifth Regiment Commander's wife."

"Why?" Wen Ci asked.

"Her husband has real power."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci looked at Zhu Jing seriously and said firmly, word by word, "Sister Jing, you're wrong. We women can hold up half the sky, not because of our own men. So what if they have real power?"

"Whatever, let the leaders choose whoever they want!"
