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

As the sun began to set, casting an orange hue over its rays, it was time for the clothing company to close for the day.

The technicians packed up and left one after another, some rushing to pick up their children, others hurrying home to cook.

Inside the office, the footsteps were chaotic for a while, then gradually subsided.

But a few people were still sitting at their workstations, heads down, continuing to work, as if they wanted to finish what they were doing, or perhaps they had forgotten the time.

The telephone on Ye Wenxi's desk rang.

She answered, "Feed?"

"Wenxi, Mom is making dumplings tonight. Do you and Weidong want to come over for dinner?" Liu Xiuyun's voice came through the receiver.

"Mom, I won't come over tonight. Weidong and I will just grab something to eat at the cafeteria. It must be exhausting for so many people to make so many dumplings. Don't bother. I'll come over in a couple of days when I have some free time and we can make them together."

"Okay, then go back and rest early. Take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wenxi picked up her bag, stood up, stretched, and felt a sore back and stiff waist.

Some people in the clothing company had already left for the day, but you could still tell that a few were preparing to "work overtime".

Zhang Yunxia went to pick up the child, but before leaving, she took with her the rules that Ye Wenxi had asked her to organize.

Xiaohe also took the draft of the design she was preparing back to continue drawing;

Feng Guizhi and Liu Degui remained in the conference room, tidying up the training materials.

Ye Wenxi thought to herself: How did she bring the overtime culture into the 1970s?

Ultimately, it was the mobilization meeting held a few days ago that had an effect.

In Zhang Yunxia's words, since she had nothing to do after dinner anyway, she didn't feel tired at all when she did what she wanted to do.

Ye Wenxi rode her bicycle to the cafeteria, where Lu Weidong had already been waiting for a while.

After locking the car, Ye Wenxi walked to his side.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Weidong asked.

"It's alright. Mom just called and asked me to go out for dumplings, but I'm too tired, so I won't go."

"Then why didn't you ask Mom to bring the dumplings to our house? It would save us the trouble of going to the cafeteria," Lu Weidong joked.

Ye Wenxi glared at him and said, "How can you be so shameless?"

Lu Weidong chuckled: "I don't crave those dumplings, I'm just worried you'll get tired."

The two got a few dishes at the cafeteria, ate a quick bite, and then headed back.

As they walked, Ye Wenxi suddenly stopped: "Why don't you go back first?"

"Where are you going?" Lu Weidong asked, looking at her.

"Go check out their dorm and see how Xiaohe and the others are doing."

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

"No need, you don't need to go, I can go by myself. You should go home."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you. Come back soon."

Ye Wenxi turned a corner, walked out of the military area, and went to the temporary dormitory.

After asking around, they found the room where Xiaohe and Feng Guizhi were staying.

Xiaohe and Feng Guizhi were very surprised to see Ye Wenxi arrive.

"Wenxi, what brings you here?" Feng Guizhi greeted her, wearing a vest.

"I've come to see how your environment is, in case you're not used to it." Ye Wenxi stood at the door looking around.

"Come in quickly~~Come in quickly." Feng Guizhi invited her into the house.

Ye Wenxi went in and scanned the area.

The room was about ten square meters, with two bunk beds, two tall cabinets, a washbasin stand for washing hands, and two tables.

The two of them also strung a rope on the wall and hung clothes on it.

Besides these, there were some daily necessities, but nothing else.

Fortunately, the room had been cleaned and wasn't as run-down as it used to be.

"How are you two feeling about staying here?"

Feng Guizhi said, "It's fine."

Xiao He nodded, "It's great, much better than the previous one. To be honest, it's even better than my dorm at school."

Hearing this, Ye Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then I'm relieved. I was worried you wouldn't be comfortable staying here."

"How could that be? With free accommodation like this, what are we complaining about? To be honest, I've never seen a factory leader or boss like you, personally coming to see the employees."

Ye Wenxi waved her hand: "It's no trouble at all. I just finished eating and will be here just around the corner."

Feng Guizhi pulled her to sit down, and the two chatted for a few minutes.

Feng Guizhi said, "I had heard of you before. You are not only famous in Harbin, but also in our surrounding area."

"Oh? The Fujin factory knows about us?"

"That's right. Before, people said that you seamstresses could earn seventy or eighty a month, but we didn't believe it. Some people even wanted to work for you, but when they heard that you only hire military dependents..." Feng Guizhi spread her hands, "Then they can't come."

Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up: "Anyone still interested in working for me? Experienced workers are fine. We're really short of experienced workers right now."

"I don't know about that. I left the factory two months ago. After our factory was taken over, a lot of people were out of work, and some of them wanted to come work for you."

"Aunt Feng, could you help me make some contact?" Ye Wenxi leaned forward. "Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. If you introduce someone who passes the assessment and is hired, I'll give you a three-yuan referral bonus."

"Three yuan?!" Feng Guizhi almost jumped out of bed.

"Why would I give you money? I'll look into it for you, and if I find someone suitable, I'll introduce you to them."

"You've provided me with excellent talent, I can't let you work for nothing, it's settled then." Ye Wenxi insisted, "But let me make this clear, we have high standards, not just anyone will do, they have to be highly professional."

Seeing that Ye Wenxi was serious, Feng Guizhi quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll go home this weekend and ask around for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely find you plenty of suitable jobs. There are plenty of experienced people in our factory!"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Ye Wenxi paused, "If you're not a senior technician or in a core position, you probably can't stay in a private dormitory; you'll have to live in an eight-person room like everyone else."

"An eight-person room is fine too!" Feng Guizhi grinned, revealing two missing teeth. "Your military region has such a great environment; we're very content!"

Ye Wenxi said goodbye to the two and walked back happily.

"Great, hehe." Ye Wenxi was in a good mood after making progress on another matter.

Ye Wenxi took out her key at the front door and unlocked the door with a click.

She stepped into the house and found no one in the living room.

A dim, yellowish light shone through the crack in the bathroom door.

"You're back?" Lu Weidong's voice came from the bathroom, mixed with the sound of running water. "Want to take a shower?"

"I'll wash after you're done." She put her backpack aside.

"Come in, let's shower together, I'll help you," Lu Weidong called from inside the bathroom.

"I'm not going, my back still hurts," Ye Wenxi declined the invitation.

"A bath can help relax your muscles. Come in, I'll give you a massage."

Ye Wenxi pushed open a crack.

Lu Weidong leaned back in the bathtub, scooped up a handful of water and poured it over his head, his broad shoulders swaying slightly with the movement.

The muscles in his arms taut and defined, while droplets of water clung to his chest muscles, rising and falling gently with his breath.

His handsome, rugged face was flushed slightly by the steam.

Lu Weidong tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Ye Wenxi, exuding an allure and pressure from the inside out, both desireful and powerful.

"Cough..." Ye Wenxi coughed lightly, lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly, her fingers gripping the door frame a few times, and remained silent for a long time.

She eventually walked in slowly.

The door closed, and a muffled voice came from inside: "You better behave yourself..."

"Are you that afraid of me?" Lu Weidong's deep voice rang out.

"Stop fooling around, you haven't even taken your clothes off yet. Hmm?...Lu Weidong!!"

"I just brought it in; I didn't say I was going to use it."

"Go wash it yourself!"

A splashing sound followed.

"oops--!"

"Once you're in, don't even think about running away."
