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

Director Zhang explained to Ye Wenxi in detail his work arrangements after the job fair that day:

"We have already divided the tasks. They will go and investigate again in the next couple of days. Once the results are summarized and we have a general direction, we will talk to the logistics department."

Ye Wenxi nodded.

A preliminary investigation is necessary, but we're still lacking assistance.

She first affirmed Director Zhang's approach, then chatted about other things, pondering how to contribute to the matter.

Looking at future development, the goal is to empower military families, improve their employment capabilities, enhance the material conditions of military families, and revitalize the internal economic cycle within the military region.

It seems like a major event that benefits the military region and its families.

If done well, it can become a model for revitalizing family-based economies nationwide.

If Ye Wenxi were to arrange this, she would still send it to the logistics department, but she would try to pass it up one more step, to the commander's office.

Pushing from top to bottom is the most effective approach.

"By the way, Director Zhang, now that our recruitment meeting is over, does Section Chief Chen have any guidance or suggestions?" Ye Wenxi picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked casually.

Director Zhang: "I haven't discussed this matter with Section Chief Chen yet."

Ye Wenxi: "Why don't we ask them when we have the chance? It could provide some guidance for our next recruitment event."

Director Zhang: "Okay, I'll go ask."

Ye Wenxi said, "Director Zhang, actually I have another suggestion."

"Go on," Director Zhang said, putting down his pen.

"From a macro and long-term perspective, this is a major event for the military region, empowering military families, improving their employment capabilities, and enhancing the material conditions of military families."

"If we do it well, we can revitalize the small economic cycle within our military region, which perfectly aligns with the country's current policies of reform and opening up and promoting economic development," Ye Wenxi said calmly, and Director Zhang nodded frequently.

"When I first established the garment company, I didn't expect the military region to be so supportive and give me so much freedom. I suppose the higher-ups had a longer-term vision than we did, and perhaps they already had a comprehensive plan in mind."

Director Zhang understood what Ye Wenxi meant. She didn't interrupt, but just looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"If the direction and approach of this matter are beneficial to the development of the entire military region, then we can pass on the good ideas and prospects to higher authorities," Ye Wenxi said.

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment.

Over the years, her work has always involved liaising with functional departments such as the logistics section and the propaganda section; she has almost never submitted anything to the commander's office.

"Wouldn't it be... to give it directly to the commander's office?" Director Zhang didn't finish his sentence.

"It won't be given directly." Ye Wenxi smiled. "When you report to Section Chief Chen this time, you can try to find out what the higher-ups are thinking. Also, ask Section Chief Chen what he thinks."

She paused, then added, "I think that as a functional department, the logistics department will be more proactive in implementing its work if it receives support and clear instructions from higher authorities."

Ye Wenxi meant that handing the matter over to the logistics department meant assigning them a task, and a complicated one at that.

Regardless of whether this is something that should be done, whether it is a good thing, or whether doing it well would be a great achievement.

It takes a lot of effort to handle this, after all, this is an unprecedented new attempt.

However, if the higher-level departments have the right attitude and support, and push it down from the top, the logistics department will be much more efficient in its work, and the implementation will be smoother.

With the support of the Logistics Department, this matter was considered to have been jointly submitted by the Military Family Committee and the Logistics Department.

This not only solved the problem of the Military Commission reporting to higher levels, but also allowed the Logistics Department to act as a coordinator, making things proceed more smoothly.

Director Zhang finally understood.

"I understand what you mean." Director Zhang smiled as he looked at Ye Wenxi. "Oh my... to think of passing it on to the Commander, that's why I say you're so bold."

"Hahaha... Director Zhang, you're teasing me." Ye Wenxi waved her hand with a laugh.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go ask Producer Song about the extras and contact you later." Ye Wenxi got up and walked out.

"Hey~ take care, Xiao Ye."

After leaving the mutual aid society, she didn't go back to the clothing store, but went straight to Song Xiaotang's office.

At this moment, Song Xiaotang was not in her temporary office. She was walking in the Foreign Affairs Department building, but this time she did not go to the Propaganda Department.

Song Xiaotang went straight up to the fifth floor and walked to the door of office 502.

dong dong dong-

"Please come in." A male voice came from inside.

Song Xiaotang pushed open the door, closed it, sat down on the sofa, hugged her shoulders, sighed, and looked rather upset.

Looking at her expression, Zhou Xuchen guessed that she had encountered another obstacle.

"They disagree?"

"Well... but they didn't outright refuse. They did send me a lot of messages privately. They said that joint ventures are too capitalist-style, no one has done it before, and they're afraid of problems..." Song Xiaotang's tone was fiery.

"It's all nonsense. To put it bluntly, they're just afraid of taking responsibility. Even the military region can support it, but these old fogies are all cowering."

She rattled off her words rapidly and urgently.

Zhou Xuchen smiled and shook his head.

His cousin usually appears refined and proper, but when she gets angry in private, she's like a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.

"It complies with regulations and policies; there are no violations whatsoever." Song Xiaotang frowned.

Zhou Xuchen got up, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her: "Isn't that how it is? At the beginning, everyone is unfamiliar with each other, so they will naturally be more cautious in their actions."

Zhou Xuchen had a second part to say, but he didn't dare to. He wanted to say that you were also extremely cautious before, but you've recently come to terms with things.

"She's just a coward! She's always hiding her head and tail, never daring to take the initiative." Song Xiaotang took the water glass, didn't drink it, and put it on the coffee table.

"How many people are as daring as you? You always pick niche topics and take paths no one has walked before." Zhou Xuchen leaned back on the sofa.

"Why not?" Song Xiaotang blurted out.

Zhou Xuchen looked at her and knew who she was talking about.

"You two are an exception," Zhou Xuchen said.

Song Xiaotang: "It's not just the two of us. I think any technician I randomly pick from the garment company is much more daring than those old fogies."

"Sigh...that's a bit much." Zhou Xuchen frowned, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

He sat down on the sofa next to her and sighed, "Alright, you've vented your anger. Things still need to move forward. What are you planning to do?"

Song Xiaotang turned her head to look at Zhou Xuchen.

Zhou Xuchen's eyes darted away...

Song Xiaotang laughed: "Zhou Xuchen, you have to help people to the end, see it through to the end. You were the one who recommended me to film in this military region, saying that the thinking here is more open and the leaders would give their full support."

"I've arrived, but things are stuck again. We can't stay stuck like this."

Zhou Xuchen rolled his eyes at her. It's not like the movie can't be made.

Although he initially thought she might have some cooperation or contact with Ye Wenxi, he didn't expect the two of them to team up so quickly.

And it has to be this big.

I'd guess it was Ye Wenxi who pushed for it.

Seeing that Zhou Xuchen remained silent, Song Xiaotang began to coax and plead with him.

"I don't want to do this either, but these old fogies don't listen to rules or reason anymore, how am I supposed to reason with them?"

"This path is blocked for me, so I have to find another way."

Zhou Xuchen remained silent.

Song Xiaotang crossed her arms:

"Zhou Xuchen, if you don't help me, I'll call my aunt myself and expose you for lying to her about having a boyfriend last time."

Zhou Xuchen: "............"
