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

The jeep was parked in front of the Women's Federation.

Lu Weidong turned off the engine and turned to ask Ye Wenxi, "Approximately how long will it take?"

Ye Wenxi glanced at his watch: "It should be finished before noon...maybe."

Lu Weidong smiled and said, "It's alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you in the car."

"Hey~" Ye Wenxi got out of the car with a smile and walked quickly into the Women's Federation building.

Arriving at Section Chief Liang's office, I knocked on the door.

"Please come in," a voice came from inside.

"Section Chief Liang, sorry to bother you," Ye Wenxi said as he opened the door and peeked in.

"Comrade Ye is here, please have a seat." Section Chief Liang stood up, pointed to a chair, turned around, took out an enamel mug, opened the thermos, and poured Ye Wenxi a glass of boiled water.

Ye Wenxi pulled out a chair in front of his desk and sat down: "Section Chief Liang, I heard you needed to see me."

"Comrade Ye, I've read your report on Comrade Wang Yingxue's deeds." Section Chief Liang pushed the cup towards her.

She laughed and said, "To be honest, I have to wonder again if Comrade Ye is really doing propaganda work. His narrative logic and word choice are very professional."

Ye Wenxi waved her hand: "Oh my god, please don't say that about me."

The two of them laughed heartily.

"Let's go through them one by one." Section Chief Liang first tapped the letter on the table with his finger. "This matter, overall, meets our reporting standards and actual publicity needs."

"The general direction is acceptable. However, the specific publication schedule and content structure need to be arranged by our editors."

"Leave the rest to us."

"Thank you so much for your recognition!" Ye Wenxi leaned forward slightly.

Section Chief Liang waved his hand and continued, "The second thing we'd like to ask Comrade Ye is whether it would be convenient for me to take a few comrades from the Women's Federation to the military region's garment factory for a site visit? We could also conduct a supplementary interview about Wang Yingxue's situation?"

Ye Wenxi nodded: "Of course, no problem."

When would be a convenient time for you?

Ye Wenxi thought for a moment: "I should still be in Harbin running around in the building materials market for the next couple of days. I'll head back after I'm done. I'll let you know as soon as I confirm my return date, okay?"

"Sure!" Section Chief Liang nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the overall momentum was good, Ye Wenxi continued the conversation: "Actually, in our military region, Wang Yingxue is just one example. There are many more touching stories in the group of military dependents."

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Liang's eyes lit up: "Oh? Really?"

Ye Wenxi then gave several typical examples.

Section Chief Liang became more and more interested as she listened, and she kept praising the performance.

"I have to say," Section Chief Liang sighed with emotion, "that we haven't really covered the military dependents group much in all these years of work. In the past, we paid more attention to enterprises, institutions, farmers, or other groups."

Ye Wenxi replied, "That's for sure. The military region is relatively closed off, and the living and working environment of military families is relatively limited, so the outside world knows little about them."

"Yes," Section Chief Liang nodded. "Thank you very much, Comrade Ye. Through your efforts, we have gained a better understanding of this group of women."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Section Chief Liang glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost midnight.

"That's settled then, Comrade Ye. I'll wait for your news and contact you again later."

"Okay!

Ye Wenxi got up, and Section Chief Liang saw her off as she walked out.

As Ye Wenxi walked into the lobby, two beautiful figures immediately caught her attention.

The staff member accompanying Lin Wanzhi saw Section Chief Liang come down and immediately stepped forward: "Ms. Lin, this is Section Chief Liang from our Publicity Department. Section Chief Liang, this is Ms. Lin Wanzhi, the person in charge of Gangcheng Huitong Garment."

But Lin Wanzhi's gaze fell on someone else.

She looked away and stepped forward to shake hands with Section Chief Liang.

Section Chief Liang turned around, intending to say goodbye to Ye Wenxi: "Wenxi, that's all for today, I won't see you off..."

Halfway through her sentence, she noticed Ye Wenxi looking at Lin Wanzhi. Their eyes met.

Ye Wenxi smiled and said, "Ms. Lin, what a coincidence."

Lin Wanzhi smiled and looked at her: "I didn't expect you to be a member of the Women's Federation."

Section Chief Liang turned to look at Ye Wenxi: "You two know each other?"

Ye Wenxi said, "We stayed at the same hotel. Yesterday I suffered heatstroke and fainted, and it was Ms. Lin who provided me with medicine, which helped me recover quickly."

"I see." Section Chief Liang nodded.

"Then, Section Chief Liang, I won't bother you any longer. I'll be leaving now." Ye Wenxi said goodbye and turned to walk out.

Section Chief Liang watched Ye Wenxi leave and slowly spoke:

"That comrade just now, he's not a colleague from our Women's Federation, he came to talk to me about something."

"Oh?" Lin Wanzhi raised an eyebrow.

"Speaking of which, you two are actually in the same profession," Section Chief Liang said with a smile.

"So she's also a foreign businesswoman visiting Harbin." Lin Wanzhi naturally connected Ye Wenxi's attire with her stay at the International Hotel.

"Foreign investment?" Section Chief Liang waved his hand. "No, it's not foreign investment. It's a private enterprise from inland China. When I say 'peer,' I mean you're all in the same industry."

"Not foreign investment?"

"Her business is a clothing company called Wenxi Garment Company, which is very famous in Harbin."

Lin Wanzhi's smile froze for a moment, then she slowly repeated, "Wenxi Clothing Company..."

"Yes." Section Chief Liang nodded.

"It must be a very excellent company," Lin Wanzhi said, glancing back at the company.

The gate was empty; the person had already walked away.

Ye Wenxi walked out of the Women's Federation gate and ran a few steps.

Lu Weidong's car was parked under the shade of a tree.

He saw her come out from his car, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he reached out the car window to wave at her.

Ye Wenxi, carrying her bag, skipped over and opened the car door: "Have you been waiting long? Are you hungry and thirsty? Come on, let's go eat."

"I'll take you to a halal restaurant; their shumai is really good."

"Shumai? Wow—" Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up. "I like beef ones, and lamb ones are fine too. I also like the stir-fried three delicacies, grilled lamb skewers, lamb soup, lamb spine, boiled tripe, and braised beef strips from halal restaurants..."

She counted on her fingers, comparing the dishes with both hands as she spoke, quickly rattling off all the signature dishes of the halal restaurant.

Lu Weidong, with his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head and blinked at her.

He originally wanted to take her to eat something new and interesting. You can't usually find shumai at halal restaurants outside, let alone in a canteen.

As it turned out, he hadn't heard of some of the names she gave him.

Seeing Lu Weidong staring intently at her, Ye Wenxi assumed he thought she had ordered too much: "I'm not ordering everything, just a few dishes will do!"

Lu Weidong started the car and couldn't help but ask, "There are a few dishes you mentioned that I've never heard of."

Ye Wenxi chuckled: "Oh... okay, then we'll eat whatever's available."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Wenxi...do you have a lot of good things where you are?"
