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

That evening, there seemed to be endless topics to discuss at the dinner table, with people chatting about this and that, and laughter never stopped.

The air was filled with the sweetness of wedding candy, and everyone was genuinely happy for Ding Jiahe and Wang Hao's upcoming wedding.

The group played around at Zhang Yunxia's house until very late before dispersing.

Before leaving, Zhang Yunxia grabbed Ding Jiahe and forced a paper package into her handbag.

Just as Ding Jiahe was about to take it out to look, Zhang Yunxia grabbed her hand and whispered, "Go back and look...go back and look."

Ding Jiahe was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, her face flushed red, and she quickly clutched her bag tightly.

Zhang Yunxia chuckled and waved her hand, pushing them out.

As dawn broke, the dirt road outside the military compound was already bustling with activity.

People in military uniforms, carrying canvas bags, rode their old-fashioned bicycles with jingling bells.

Ye Wenxi set off for the meeting location more than an hour early.

This was originally the temporary conference room for the crew of the TV series "Heroine". It was spacious and, unlike the division headquarters building, it did not involve any classified areas, so non-military personnel could also enter and exit.

Ye Wenxi applied for temporary use rights here before it was requisitioned by other units.

Today is the first general meeting of all employees of Wenxi Garment Company.

The organizational structure has been established, and the tasks ahead are arduous and the road ahead is long. Ye Wenxi felt it was time to encourage everyone and give them a pep talk.

She sent out the notice a day in advance, and all full-time employees came to attend the meeting.

She wrote the agenda for the meeting on the blackboard stroke by stroke, and then distributed the printed materials to everyone's seats.

She wanted everyone to understand what the clothing company was doing now and what path it would take in the future.

Every employee must understand that they cannot just focus on the few pieces of clothing they have or their own small area of ​​work.

Instead, we should treat the garment company as our own, have a sense of belonging, share honor and risks, and move forward together.

When Ye Wenxi arrived, she found that Zhang Yunxia had already arrived, even earlier than her.

"I knew you'd come so early." Ye Wenxi smiled at her.

After a while, Ding Jiahe, Wang Yingxue, Sun Xiaolan, and even Li Yanyu and other core members arrived at the scene early to help.

Everyone organized the meeting supplies and arranged the wooden chairs, all with great enthusiasm.

This was the first time these military dependents had held a proper employee meeting; it was a scale usually reserved for large factories. They couldn't help but marvel at how big the garment company had really become.

People came in one after another and took their seats. Ye Wenxi walked to the front and cleared his throat.

"Today is our first employee meeting. But we're different from those big companies; we don't do things that formally. Everyone, please don't be shy and just keep the meeting in order."

She paused, then looked around.

"I have a few good news items to share with you today. Each one is relevant to our interests."

The people below perked up as soon as they heard "stakeholders".

"First, physical stores." Ye Wenxi held up one finger.

"Our garment company will build a comprehensive store that is probably rare in the country, integrating pre-sales and after-sales service, finished product sales, exhibitions and promotions."

"To my knowledge, this is the first non-state-owned clothing store of this scale in the country."

A low buzzing sound arose from the crowd.

Some of the people present knew about this, but they had only heard that there would be a fixed sales point in the future, and they thought it was just renting a counter in some shopping mall. They did not expect it to be such a large-scale independent store.

"The second piece of good news is that our clothing company will be promoting and publishing this in two publications."

"One is 'Popular Cinema,' and the other is 'Longjiang Women.' Once the film 'Heroines' that we're collaborating on is released, its influence will definitely reach a new level, thereby boosting sales and market demand. Everyone needs to work even harder."

The two things Ye Wenxi mentioned were to set the stage for everyone.

With the groundwork laid, it's time to set requirements: work efficiency, product quality, and management standards—none of these can be compromised.

She cleared her throat and began to explain the new requirements and reward/punishment mechanisms one by one.

His words were objective and serious but not intimidating, and he struck the perfect balance.

The meeting room fell silent; no one spoke.

As everyone listened, their expressions gradually shifted from initial enthusiasm to seriousness, as they all understood the weight of Ye Wenxi's emphasis on these matters.

"Next, we'll focus on tangible improvements to employee benefits and compensation, which is the third point," Yeh Wen-hsi continued.

"Our site needs to be expanded and renovated, and the dormitory for external employees also needs to be started."

Ye Wenxi took out the renovation blueprints and explained the overall plan to everyone.

She went into detail about the amenities and daily benefits of the staff dormitory, and each item pleased the staff.

The serious atmosphere from before was gradually diluted by these tangible benefits, and everyone's expressions slowly relaxed.

After saying this, Ye Wenxi cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Next is the most important thing today: to formally appoint people into groups and departments."

"We used to work as agents, but now that the garment company is on the right track, we need to formally define the roles for each position."

She picked up a list and began to read:

"Zhang Yunxia is appointed as the head of finance, human resources, and administration."

"Ding Jiahe is appointed as the head of the field operations and external relations team, responsible for external relations."

"Comrade Sun Xiaolan is appointed as the leader of the sewing group, responsible for garment sewing."

"Comrade Feng Guizhi is appointed as the leader of the second sewing group, responsible for the disassembly and sorting of fabric pieces."

"Zhu Tao is appointed as the head of pre-sales and after-sales customer service..."

.......

This appointment covers all positions and processes within the garment company, with each step now overseen by a dedicated person.

Ye Wenxi put down the list and continued, "At the same time, we are building supporting management systems, personnel ranks, and promotion channels."

"Don't think that only management has a way out. Our sewing technicians and ordinary employees all have promotion channels."

"You may be a junior technician now, but as long as you work hard, you can move up to intermediate technician and senior technician. The working hours, responsibilities, and benefits are different at each level. Here, I don't let people slack off; hard work will definitely be rewarded accordingly."

The people below looked at each other, and their eyes slowly brightened.

Zhang Yunxia was the first to chime in: "The principle of 'more work, more pay' will definitely be implemented in our garment company."

"But at the same time, let's be clear from the start: the old ways of doing things, like loafing around, sucking up to superiors, and seniority-based promotion, won't work here."

She suddenly slammed her hand on the table and said, "From now on, everyone just needs to work hard! To be honest, I'm actually quite pleased that Wenxi has managed to get the clothing company to this level, even if she doesn't pay me!"

Ye Wenxi quickly waved his hand, saying, "Hey, hey, hey~ let's keep things separate."

The people below burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"It's true! I feel so proud when I go out now. When I tell people I work at Wenxi Garment Company, they look at me with more respect!" a technician chimed in.

Feng Guizhi nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Your garment factory is quite famous around here. Your wages are higher than what our factory's ten-year veterans earn!"

Zhang Yunxia reached out and pressed down: "So, we need to make sure all the rules are clear. If we don't know something, we'll learn it. Now, Teacher Liu and Teacher Li are teaching us, and the military region and the commune are providing us with this environment. In the future, as long as we are willing to learn and work hard, everyone will have a way out."

"Bravo!" someone shouted, and then applause erupted.

Everyone clapped with all their might, their hands turning red as they continued clapping.

Thunderous applause filled every corner of the room.

She had only ever seen scenes like this in old movies before.

When it actually happened in front of her, she was so shocked by the scene that she was speechless.

Standing among such a group of energetic people, and being stared at by pairs of burning eyes, Ye Wenxi felt his blood boiling.

What a vibrant group of people she is inspiring!

Ye Wenxi's eyes also welled up with tears.
