A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

When Ye Wenxi returned to the clothing store, Zhang Yunxia and Ding Jiahe immediately came up to her and pulled her aside.

"Did you tell me?" Zhang Yunxia asked immediately.

"Yes, everything's been handed over. The message's been handed over, and the note's been handed over too." Ye Wenxi sighed deeply. "Sigh, whether it succeeds or not depends on this one sliver of hope."

"Do you think there's a good chance?" Zhang Yunxia asked.

Ye Wenxi pondered for a moment: "It's hard to say how big a shiver will be. Anyway, I'm mentally prepared for a long battle. As long as Producer Song doesn't leave, we'll wear her down and win her over."

After saying that, Ye Wenxi chuckled twice, seemingly oblivious to the world around him.

Ding Jiahe slapped her on the shoulder: "You're something else."

"We'll see in the next few days," Ye Wenxi said. "I told her that if she's interested in collaborating, she should come to us."

Zhang Yunxia looked at Ye Wenxi's chuckling face, seemingly carefree, but she knew how much effort Ye Wenxi had put into this.

He spent all his time figuring out how to win over Song Xiaotang and get her to cooperate more deeply.

Her workstation was close to Ye Wenxi's, and she often saw Ye Wenxi with a furrowed brow and deep in thought, looking very tired and overworked.

"Wenxi..." Zhang Yunxia called her softly.

Ye Wenxi: "Hmm?"

Zhang Yunxia: "Even if there's no collaboration, it's okay. Like you said, we need to prepare for a long-term battle. Even if this film isn't suitable, there are other promotional channels in the future."

Zhang Yunxia: "Take it slow, we can definitely do it well, we can definitely make it big."

Zhang Yunxia looked at Ye Wenxi with a jealous and serious expression: "You used to tell me that we were going to expand nationwide. I thought it was like a dream, how could it be possible?"

"But now I feel that this isn't a matter of belief or not; it's just a matter of time. Today they said that we'll eventually reach thousands or tens of thousands of people, and I think so too."

"It will definitely work!" Ye Wenxi looked at Zhang Yunxia with a determined expression and her eyes shining.

Ding Jiahe chimed in, "You definitely can. You're so capable and courageous. I might not even have your guts, even though I've been on the battlefield. But the things you did, I wouldn't dare to do either."

Ye Wenxi looked at the two of them obediently and replied with a smile, "Okay! I know~"

"How about we have a drink tonight? To help you relieve some stress?" Ding Jiahe said, propping her head up with her hand and raising her eyebrows.

"What a coincidence, I was just about to say that," Ye Wenxi said with a smile. "Come to my place tonight."

"We can only go to your place, you can't possibly go to my dorm, and we can't go to Sister Yunxia's house either." Ding Jiahe turned to look at Zhang Yunxia, ​​"Sister Yunxia, ​​could you ask the division commander to pick up Xiangyang tonight? We'll go to Wenxi's for a drink. I'll have Wang Hao go find Lu Weidong and let the two of them hang out."

"Okay, it's settled then."

The three of them chuckled.

Ye Wenxi returned to her desk and was about to pick up the phone to call Lu Weidong.

Ring ring ring—the phone rang.

"Feed? Who?"

"Comrade Ye, this is Song Xiaotang. I have read your proposal."

Ye Wenxi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Producer Song, how's it going? What are your thoughts?" Ye Wenxi asked, her voice brimming with barely suppressed anticipation as she held the microphone.

Upon hearing the words "Song Productions," Ding Jiahe and Zhang Yunxia immediately perked up their ears and turned to look at Ye Wenxi.

Ye Wenxi smiled, her lips curving upwards.

"Okay! I'm coming over now." Ye Wenxi hung up the phone.

Ding Jiahe and Zhang Yunxia let out a scream, stood up happily, stomped their feet and slapped the table, extremely excited.

Several technicians gathered around to look: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Great news, great news!" Ye Wenxi said, carrying her bag. "I'll let everyone know once it's finalized. Wait for me." She then walked towards the door.

"Hey, are we still having dinner tonight?" Ding Jiahe called out to her back.

"Eat! Wait for me!" Ye Wenxi waved to them without turning around.

-

Song Xiaotang invited Ye Wenxi to her office, partly because there were still some things they hadn't fully discussed.

What is Ye Wenxi's specific position within the military region? What type of enterprise is the garment company? What are its qualifications and compliance status?

She heard today that the military region issued a document; is it about providing key assistance or something else?

Song Xiaotang doesn't just agree to a proposal after reading it once; she still conducts a comprehensive evaluation.

She definitely wouldn't consider it if it were just a small, individually owned shop.

But hearing about the development of the garment company today, as well as the support from the military region in various aspects, shows that it has backing and strength.

By cooperating in this way, the risk of being labeled or branded as bourgeois is much lower.

On the other hand, Ye Wenxi's proposal today, as well as what she saw and heard at the clothing company, truly moved her.

This was the biggest driving force that Song Xiaotang herself was unaware of.

She is trying to find a reasonable basis and a way out to make the in-depth cooperation stand up.

Moreover, she did see the benefits; Ye Wenxi's proposal was practical and feasible, and doing so would indeed allow publicity to reach a wider audience and improve public reputation.

Ye Wenxi arrived at her office quickly.

The two closed the door and began to have a long, engaging discussion.

Song Xiaotang used to be most concerned about being labeled and having her reputation affected by product placements.

Now they need to work together to find reasonable outlets, leverage points, and starting points, avoid the risks of being labeled, and explore a series of directions that are in line with the spirit of the film and with female themes.

By the time we finished talking, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

"There shouldn't be any major problems in the general direction, but we need to consider the opinions from all sides regarding the practical implementation," said Song Xiaotang.

"Your suggestion was excellent. During the promotion and distribution phase, we should partner with factories and government departments within the industrial system. This will help them align with our values. It's not just about lending venues; it's about getting more people involved to voice our opinions. This reduces risk and amplifies the film's impact."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow I'll align our initial discussion with the production team and talk to a few people first. After that, I'll need to report and communicate with the studio's superiors and relevant departments. A final decision will probably take a few more days."

Ye Wenxi smiled and said, "No rush. I'll wait for your good news. We're ready to cooperate at any time."

"That's settled then... Wait for my message, we'll talk again next time." Song Xiaotang stood up.

"Okay, good, goodbye. Thank you, Producer Song." Ye Wenxi stood up.

Song Xiaotang smiled and called out to Ye Wenxi, "Wenxi..."

"Hmm?" Ye Wenxi turned around.

"Just call me Xiaotang in private from now on," Song Xiaotang said softly.

"Then I'll call you Sister Xiaotang." Ye Wenxi said with a bright smile.

"Okay. See you later~"

Ye Wenxi ran home in a flash, then suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to call Lu Weidong.

She quickly called the clothing company: "I'm finished, please come over soon. I forgot to call Lu Weidong, but hasn't he gone home? Did you notify him?"

"I called Wang Hao, and he picked him up directly," Ding Jiahe said. "You wait here. We'll get the food and head over."

"Don't make too many, I'll make a few more for you," Ye Wenxi quickly added.

"Alright—!"

Zhang Yunxia and Ding Jiahe quickly brought over some dishes from the cafeteria.

When they arrived, Ye Wenxi was still busy in the kitchen.

She had plenty of food in her refrigerator, including braised beef and roast chicken, which she paid Lang Yuqin to make separately, paying her extra for the service.

When she and Lu Weidong were craving something delicious or too lazy to cook, they would take it out to treat themselves.

Ye Wenxi's family is now the wealthiest in the entire military region.

Besides the money earned from the garment company, they also accumulated a considerable amount from design commissions from the Light Industry Bureau, and their savings were already tens of thousands.

Lu Weidong often says that he is living the life of a kept man.

At this point, Ye Wenxi would say with a serious expression, "You're not soft at all, you're really strong and tough."
