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

The next day, when Ye Wenxi arrived at the clothing store, Xie Linfeng had not yet arrived. Ye Wenxi greeted Zhang Yunxia, ​​and the two of them walked into the small conference room.

"Sister Yunxia, ​​are you familiar with the dormitory environment where Xie Linfeng lives?"

Zhang Yunxia frowned and thought for a while: "It seems to be a 12-person room. Most of the temporary laborers in the military region are men, so there are quite a few people."

"What happened? Did Xie Linfeng say something?"

Ye Wenxi shook her head: "No, he didn't say anything. Sister Yunxia, ​​how do you think Xie Linfeng's work performance has been these past few days? Has he adapted?"

"To be honest, I'm a little unsure myself." Zhang Yunxia pulled her chair forward a bit. "Do you think... this kid has something on his mind, or is he just naturally introverted?"

Ye Wenxi leaned forward, propped up on the table, listening to Zhang Yunxia speak.

"Every new employee in our company is so excited and enthusiastic, asking eight hundred questions a day," Zhang Yunxia said, tilting her head to look at Ye Wenxi. "Do you think it's because he's so professional that he's arrogant? Or is that just how people are in Hong Kong?"

"It's hard to say, after all, he's a guy, unlike us girls who chatter away. The work atmosphere in Hong Kong is definitely different from ours." Ye Wenxi paused for a moment, "By the way, how's his work enthusiasm? Has Xiao He helped him accomplish anything lately?"

"He's quite proactive. He and Xiaohe have accomplished a lot of work, and they're pretty fast at disassembling the canvas pieces."

"Oh..." Ye Wenxi nodded. "Sister Yunxia, ​​could you talk to the logistics department about the dormitory situation again? Could you make some arrangements for our high-caliber staff?"

Zhang Yunxia nodded, tapping her fingers on the table: "Okay, I'll ask Section Chief Chen this afternoon to see if he can do me a favor. After all, he's a high-level talent; we can't let him suffer too much."

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yunxia."

Zhang Yunxia suddenly grinned: "By the way, we took some time these past few days to tidy up Jiahe's new house. The goods you ordered from the department store a few days ago arrived—the refrigerator, washing machine... and all the bedding. We've arranged everything."

Zhang Yunxia stopped, her smile widening: "But, we'll give her the key in a few days..."

"Huh? Why didn't you give her the key?"

Zhang Yunxia pointed outside with her finger: "Everyone has been preparing wedding gifts for her these past few days, but they haven't all been collected yet. We're thinking of giving her the keys to the new house after everything is in place."

Zhang Yunxia began to recite them to Ye Wenxi one by one.

She bought Ding Jiahe a rice cooker; Sun Xiaolan commissioned a dressing table with a mirror for her; Li Yanyu embroidered a set of tablecloths and chair cushions; even Lang Yuqin gave her a set of curtains...

"Then you'll have to come up with a reason to fool them; I can't make one up." Ye Wenxi stood up with a smile, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered to ask, "By the way, how have Feng Guizhi and her husband been adjusting these past few days?"

"Not just okay, they've already started giving lectures. They spend half the day preparing course materials and the other half giving trial lectures to our new employees." Zhang Yunxia gestured as she spoke. "Director Zhang came over yesterday and said he'd give us a week to prepare. After a week, Liu Degui can start giving trial lectures to military families."

"So fast? Has the military region prepared the training ground and sewing machines?"

"We have the space, and we've got ten sewing machines. The next batch will probably take another ten days to two weeks. Let's take it slow."

Ye Wenxi nodded: "Yes, it's fine."

Zhang Yunxia shook her head as she spoke: "So, compared to Xiao Xie, this couple seems a bit listless and not as energetic."

"That's inevitable. After all, the working environment and treatment in Hong Kong were far superior, which is quite a contrast to what we have here." Ye Wenxi nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Yunxia hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice: "Actually... there's something I don't know if I should say."

Ye Wenxi pulled her hand and sat her down: "If there's anything you can't say, we can talk about whatever we want."

Zhang Yunxia leaned closer and whispered a few words in Ye Wenxi's ear.

Ye Wenxi sighed softly, "I understand, Sister Yunxia. I'll handle it."

"By the way, Sister Yunxia, ​​Section Chief Liang from the Women's Federation should be coming here tomorrow with some comrades from the Women's Federation to take a look at the situation."

"What are you here for?"

"Let's learn about our situation and then conduct a follow-up interview with Xiaoxue."

"Xiaoxue?" Zhang Yunxia asked, puzzled. "Why does the Women's Federation want to see Xiaoxue?"

Ye Wenxi explained the whole story to Zhang Yunxia, ​​from her personal interview to Wang Yingxue's report, and then to the subsequent publicity plan.

"So my plan is to keep submitting articles to the Women's Federation and then gradually bring the garment company out there," Yeh Wen-hsi said.

"My goodness...you're thinking really far ahead." Zhang Yunxia's eyes widened.

"Hey, let's give it a try. Maybe we'll just stumble upon something by sheer luck." Ye Wenxi smiled.

After saying this, the two walked out of the conference room.

When they went out, Xie Linfeng and Xiao He had already arrived at their desks and were huddled together looking at some design drawings.

"Xiao He, Comrade Xie, come to the conference room," Ye Wenxi said to the two of them.

Xie Linfeng turned and glanced at Ye Wenxi's retreating figure as she walked towards the conference room. He then picked up the notebook on the table and walked into the conference room with Xiao He.

"Let me first report on the progress of my work over the past two days," Xiao He said, getting straight to the point.

"Okay." Ye Wenxi nodded.

"The fabric workwear set you asked me to disassemble before you left has been taken apart by Comrade Xie and me. If you need to inspect it, we can bring the draft over."

"I also did another design, with guidance from Comrade Xie, of course." Xiao He said, turning her head to look at Xie Linfeng. "I spent the rest of the time explaining our process and our techniques to Comrade Xie."

"Which processes?" Ye Wenxi suddenly asked.

"It's our core sewing process, as well as fabric pretreatment, shrinkage prevention and shaping, etc." Xiao He paused for a moment, "Oh right, and our anti-counterfeiting technology."

"How advanced are the anti-counterfeiting technologies?" Ye Wenxi continued to ask.

"I've explained everything. Except for the rules of embroidery stitches that I'm not familiar with from Teacher Li's side, I've basically explained the situation and techniques of the garment company to Comrade Xie."

Ye Wenxi smiled and nodded: "Comrade Xie, how's your absorption going? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Xie Linfeng said, "I've noted them all down. Some of the craftsmanship is indeed quite good, even comparable to the standards of large companies and some brand manufacturers in the port city."

"Okay, sure." Ye Wenxi opened her notebook.

"Going forward, the three of us, as the main designers of the garment company, will meet at this time every other day in this conference room to report on our work progress and plans. If I have any urgent matters, I will also let you know."

"Okay, sure!" Xiaohe responded enthusiastically, and then continued to talk about the work plan for the next step.

After she finished speaking, Ye Wenxi gave him a few additional points and suggestions: "Give me your design later, and I'll take a look when I have time."

"Also, Xiaohe, could you pick out all our core design points and make a list for me? I might need to file it with the Light Industry Bureau. Make it first, and we'll discuss it later."

"No problem, I'll take care of it in a bit."

"Okay, Xiao He, you can go out now. I'll chat with Comrade Xie for a bit more."
