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

"Really," Lu Weidong added earnestly.

Ye Wenxi laughed even harder.

She said a lot more, giving Wang Hao a good talking-to, and finally agreed to ask Ding Jiahe indirectly for him. Only then did Wang Hao feel relieved.

Wang Hao, gnawing on a large bone, turned to ask, "Sister-in-law, what has Ding Jiahe been up to in Harbin lately?"

Ye Wenxi put down her chopsticks: "The goods have arrived at the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Europe and America. We value the feedback from this chamber of commerce. They used to make some clothes with Chinese elements to sell. I want Ding Jiahe to keep an eye on the chamber of commerce's reaction after receiving the goods, so we can adjust our subsequent products with Zhaoheng in a timely manner."

"Oh—" Wang Hao drawled, sounding like he understood but not quite, as if he thought it was pretty impressive.

"When will she be back?" Wang Hao finally asked the question he most wanted to ask.

Ye Wenxi smiled and said, "We'll have to wait two more days. We'll see how things go with the Chamber of Commerce. If the response is good, she might stay a little longer. Sorry, Wang Hao."

"It's alright, it's alright!" Wang Hao waved his hand hastily, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Suddenly, a shout came from the cafeteria entrance: "Wenxi! Ye Wenxi!"

Ye Wenxi looked up sharply, following the sound, and saw Xiao He standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, panting as she searched for someone throughout the room.

Ye Wenxi jumped up: "Xiao He? What's wrong?"

Xiao He came running over, panting, "Quick, quick, back to the clothing store! Something's happened!"

Ye Wenxi's heart tightened, and he rushed out.

Lu Weidong and Wang Hao quickly put down their chopsticks and ran out after them.

As he ran, Lu Weidong asked, "What happened?"

"Jiahe just called! The European and American Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce replied! Jiahe personally made a long-distance call to them and they've taken all our goods! They've even placed an extra order for a thousand pieces!"

Ye Wenxi suddenly stopped, almost bumping into Lu Weidong: "Huh? You want them all?"

Xiao He nodded vigorously: "Yes! They want all of our more than a thousand items in stock, both those that haven't been shipped and those that are still in stock! They're even going to place an even bigger order!"

Ye Wenxi was overjoyed: "Isn't this a great thing? Then why are you running so fast?"

"It's Sister Yunxia!"

"What happened to Sister Yunxia?!" the three exclaimed in surprise.

"After receiving the call, Sister Yunxia was so excited when she heard the news... her water broke! But she still has almost a month until her due date!"

"ah!?"

"Where is he? Has he been taken to the hospital?"

"I've already notified Commander Chen! Sister Yunxia told me to call you right away, saying that she's been busy since giving birth... and can't take care of anything else, so you need to go back immediately!"

"Hurry up!"

Ye Wenxi and Xiao He pedaled their bicycles furiously, while Lu Weidong and Wang Hao sprinted back to the clothing company at top speed.

As soon as the group arrived at the entrance of Chengyun Society, they saw a jeep parked there, and several people were lifting Zhang Yunxia into the vehicle, surrounded by a group of people from the clothing company.

Just as the Jeep door was about to close, Zhang Yunxia caught sight of Ye Wenxi and struggled to stick her head out: "Wenxi, Wenxi, I'm about to give birth... I'm leaving everything to you! Keep an eye on things at the Chamber of Commerce over there! Jiahe's waiting for news..."

Ye Wenxi grabbed her face and pinched it hard:

"Sister Yunxia, ​​just focus on having a healthy baby! Don't worry about anything else, okay?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll take care of everything. Stop worrying."

"Okay, okay..."

"Xiao He! Xiao Lan, let's go to the hospital with Sister Yunxia."

"Okay! Alright!"

Xiao He jumped into the car, but the jeep didn't move for a long time.

Zhang Yunxia shouted from behind, "Chen Yuanchuan! What are you doing? Drive faster!"

Chen Yuanchuan became even more anxious: "Hey? Why won't this car start?"

Lu Weidong quickly peered out the car window: "Commander, the key isn't in the ignition yet."

Chen Yuanchuan looked down and was completely stunned. His hands were trembling slightly. "Weidong... why don't you drive? My hands are a little weak."

She quickly gave Lu Weidong a push: "Hurry up, you go!"

Chen Yuanchuan sat in the passenger seat, Lu Weidong jumped into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and the jeep headed straight for the hospital.

Wang Hao, watching from the side, clicked his tongue in disbelief: "Even the division commander is confused about this?"

"Alright," Ye Wenxi turned to Wang Hao and said, "You're done here, go ahead and do your work. I have to go to Harbin today, Ding Jiahe probably can't handle everything there by herself."

"If they need any help, please take care of them."

"Okay! Sister-in-law, you go ahead!" Wang Hao replied, turned around and left.

Ye Wenxi hurriedly returned to the garment factory and held an emergency meeting to arrange Zhang Yunxia's work during the production period.

Afterwards, he packed a few changes of clothes, called Ding Jiahe, and asked her to wait for him in Harbin.

Today she has to go there in person to coordinate with Ding Jiahe to find Zhao Heng and handle the follow-up matters.

The performance-based agreement hadn't expired yet, but orders seemed to have come knocking on the door ahead of time.

As Ye Wenxi sat on the bus to Harbin, a burning desire ignited within her.

When the car arrived in Harbin, she went straight to the guesthouse, where Ding Jiahe was already waiting at the door.

The first thing the two did upon meeting was to call the military hospital.

The phone was answered by a maternity nurse over there.

Ding Jiahe pressed her ear against Ye Wenxi's, their faces clamping the microphone between them.

"Zhang Yunxia? Commander Chen's wife, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"She gave birth, a girl, weighing 6.5 pounds. Both mother and child are healthy."

"Oh, thank you, nurse."

......

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wenxi and Ding Jiahe hugged each other tightly at the front desk of the guesthouse, jumping and skipping around.

"That's great! That's great!"

"Alright, we need to celebrate. Come on, let's talk while we eat."

The two went to a nearby restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

Ding Jiahe began talking to Ye Wenxi about the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce: "The Chamber of Commerce highly approves of your design."

"When Zhao Heng first mentioned to the Chamber of Commerce that he had Chinese-style modern clothing designs, they were hesitant, worried that it would be too Chinese and foreigners wouldn't accept it."

"But they said, they never expected that you would make such a perfect improvement, and that the preserved oriental elements would precisely hit the aesthetic of the foreign market."

Ye Wenxi picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks: "Really? Then I'm so lucky."

Ding Jiahe continued, "Then they said they were preparing to place additional orders and that they would contact Zhaoheng to discuss the details."

"Did Zhao Heng inform you?" Ye Wenxi asked.

"Zhaoheng has already called me and informed me of this news again, saying that he will contact us later regarding the specifics."

As Ye Wenxi listened, a smile slowly crept onto her lips:

"It seems this matter has had a significant impact on Lin Wanzhi; she'll probably have to carefully consider her next move."

At this moment, only one desk lamp was lit in an office of the Zhaoheng Longjiang joint venture factory.

Lin Wanzhi sat at her desk, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

After the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce confirmed the order, she immediately reported the news to the headquarters.

The overseas market's response to "modern Chinese-style clothing" far exceeded expectations.

The port city, with its keen sense of opportunity, responded almost immediately, convening an emergency rapid strategic meeting to discuss the matter.

At the same time, the headquarters also gave her an order: Zhaoheng International should start the overseas export business of "Chinese modern clothing design".

Increase investment in funding and design to establish an independent Chinese-style modern clothing product line within the Longjiang joint venture factory.

Lin Wanzhi immediately raised the difficulty: "This will inevitably conflict with Ye Wenxi's product line."

In the past few hours, the Hong Kong headquarters has been divided into two factions over this matter.

One side argues that cooperation with the mainland has just begun, and Wenxi Garment Company is an important partner, so some leeway should be given to them to avoid narrowing their path.

The other side argues that the pie is too big, and the opportunity will be fleeting.

Ye Wenxi was just a small part of it; the factory hadn't even grown to a significant size yet.

They weren't trying to compete with Yip Man-hei, but rather to get ahead of other Hong Kong and Chinese businessmen.

Lin Wanzhi is caught in a dilemma: on one hand, there is the trust she has just established with Ye Wenxi, and on the other hand, there is the blue ocean market opportunity that she urgently needs to seize.

She rested her chin on her hands, her gaze fixed on the report spread out on the table, her eyes unfathomable.

After a while, she picked up her pen, drafted a telegram, and handed it to her assistant to send to the post office for urgent official telegram.

She then signaled to the operator to make a long-distance call to Hong Kong.

The line was connected after several transfers.

"Hello, is this the Board Secretary's office?" she said, her voice steady. "This is Lin Wanzhi, the person in charge of Zhaoheng's mainland joint venture project. A major project situation has arisen here, and I request that this matter be submitted to the Board of Directors for evaluation as an urgent issue. Please inform the Chairman."
