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

Zhang Yunxia, ​​holding the draft report, asked Ye Wenxi:

"Can I have this?"

"I'm going to see Old Chen. I feel this matter absolutely has to work out!"

"Oh? This matter has troubled Commander Chen?" Ye Wenxi said a little embarrassed.

Chen Yuanchuan was, after all, a high-ranking leader.

My idea is just a preliminary one and needs to be refined and improved.

"Think about it..."

"Even if we put in all our effort, ten Sun Xiaolans couldn't withstand the pressure at home."

"There are plenty of men like Wang Jianguo in the family compound. If we can't control them, we'll find someone who can."

Ye Wenxi understood.

What Zhang Yunxia wanted to do was not just solve the problem of a few helpers.

Instead, they wanted to use the power of the organization to loosen and change those ideas.

To change the prevailing atmosphere, top-down initiatives are indeed more effective than individual efforts.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you can take it."

Ye Wenxi pushed the report right in front of her.

"Don't worry, Moon Hee."

"I think the principles you wrote are correct, even though I haven't had much schooling. Old Chen's mind works much faster than mine."

Ye Wenxi smiled too, and the two exchanged a glance. It seemed that this matter was really one step closer to "success".

Before Zhang Yunxia left, Ye Wenxi packed a lot of things she had bought in Harbin.

The new Bee & Flower shampoo, bottled face cream, and a few brightly colored bars of soap.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Zhang Yunxia declined.

"Take this, sister-in-law. We've been so grateful to you these past few days." Ye Wenxi insisted on putting it in her hand.

"Oh, right." Zhang Yunxia slapped her forehead.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot. You have a package in the mailroom, it looks like it was sent from the food factory, it's been there for a while."

"You just got back to Harbin, and that thing has already arrived. Go pick it up quickly, don't forget it."

"Okay, I'll go get it in a bit."

Ye Wenxi tidied himself up a bit, put on a thick cotton coat, and rode his bicycle to the mailroom at the entrance of the family compound.

The administrator, Sister Wang, was tending the stove to warm herself when she saw Ye Wenxi arrive and greeted her warmly.

"Xiao Ye, you've finally arrived! There's a package for you here; it's been sitting here for days."

"Yes, Sister Wang, I'm here to pick it up. Which one is it?"

Ye Wenxi glanced at the pile of emails in the corner.

Sister Wang casually patted a large box next to her: "Here it is!"

"Which one?"

Ye Wenxi did not see the small item.

"This is it!"

Sister Wang patted the large wooden box, which was almost half a person's height and resembled a low cabinet, again.

Ye Wenxi gasped.

She thought it would be a package the size of a shoebox at most, but she didn't expect it to be so big.

It took the two of them some effort to move the heavy wooden box from the corner of the wall to the open space in front of the door.

"Good heavens, what is this thing? It's so heavy." Sister Wang muttered, panting.

Ye Wenxi looked at the wooden box, which was even larger than the bedside table, and felt somewhat worried.

She can't take it back either.

"Sister Wang, can I borrow your scissors? I want to open them up and see what's inside."

"Okay, I'll help you take it apart."

Sister Wang handed over a large pair of scissors, and the two squatted down in front of the wooden box to begin unpacking.

The wooden strips were nailed very firmly; it took a lot of effort to pry open the first one.

The rattling sound of the nails drew frequent glances from passersby.

The mailroom is right next to the family compound management committee, and it was bustling with people at noon.

Before long, several women who were passing by gathered around.

"Hey, what's this? It's so big." Someone asked curiously.

"I don't know either, I just opened it."

Ye Wenxi wiped the sweat from her forehead and, together with Sister Wang, pried open the last wooden strip.

Lifting the top layer of thick cardboard reveals neatly stacked cardboard boxes and cloth bags underneath.

The top layer of cardboard boxes has eye-catching red lettering printed on it:

"Harbin No. 1 Food Factory".

Upon opening the first cardboard box, one finds tightly packed tin cans:

Steamed meat canned food, braised lion's head meatballs canned food, canned fruit...

Flipping further down, you'll find all sorts of pastries in tin boxes:

Peach shortbread, mung bean cake, white rice cake, oven-baked fruit, steamed rice cake...

The two of them took these things out, and only a third of the contents of the large wooden box were missing.

More and more people gathered, forming layers upon layers, completely blocking the entrance to the mailroom.

No one has ever seen anyone receive so many good things.

Everyone craned their necks to look inside.

It's like watching a live stream of someone unpacking a blind box; everyone's eager to see what else they can pull out of the box.

The next layer down was a heavy cloth bag.

Ye Wenxi picked it up and it felt like he was carrying a bag of rice; it rattled and gurgled inside.

She untied the bag and looked inside:

Liquor-filled candies, shrimp fritters, Bu Lao Lin (a type of candy), White Rabbit candy...

All the candies were individually wrapped "premium" ones, their colorful wrappers gleaming in the sunlight.

It seems that it's not just products from their factory.

Ye Wenxi quickly closed the bag and put it aside.

"What's in that bag?"

Seeing that Ye Wenxi hadn't poured it out, Sister Wang asked curiously.

"Some...some candy." Ye Wenxi said somewhat awkwardly.

That's too flashy...

These days, candy is something you only buy during holidays and festivals, and you need ration coupons.

Her bag must weigh at least five pounds.

If this were poured out, the scene would be too jarring.

She was also wondering why Li Yuejin had been so quiet lately.

I thought they had given up on "winning her over," but it turns out they had a big surprise up their sleeve.

Further inside, they found soy milk powder, premium-packaged noodles...

There was even a bottle of Moutai liquor labeled "Special Internal Supply".

Ye Wenxi realized that Li Yuejin had given her a "comprehensive gift package" of the most sought-after specialty products from the food factory.

Ye Wenxi can't be demolished anymore; it's too conspicuous.

She put some of the things she had taken in the bicycle basket and said to Sister Wang:

"Sister Wang, I won't take the rest for now. Please keep the boxes safe for now. I'll take these back first."

She pointed to the several items on the ground that had already been opened.

"Alright, go ahead!" Sister Wang nodded, looking at the few things on the ground, also feeling worried for her.

Ye Wenxi tied the canned food to the back of the bicycle and hung the bag of candy on the handlebars.

Several children's eyes followed the bag of candy, reluctant to leave.

They all stared longingly, their mouths watering.

She sighed, reopened the bag of candy, grabbed a handful, and gave a few to each of the children watching.

The children's eyes lit up as they took the candy. They unwrapped it and stuffed it into their mouths, their eyes squinting from the sweetness, jumping for joy.

"Thank you, Aunt Ye!"

"So sweet!"

The adults smiled as they watched the children being happy.

"Xiao Ye, did you buy all of these?" an auntie who was watching couldn't help but ask.

"Um...I didn't buy it," Ye Wenxi replied truthfully.

The surrounding crowd held their breath.

It wasn't bought.

It must have been a gift from someone else.

In an instant, some people's eyes changed.

In this era when everyone is equally "poor".

Ye Wenxi's life was clearly "different".

Just the things that have already been taken apart on the ground are probably more than they could accumulate in several years.

Not to mention how many more items in the box have never seen the light of day.

"I really envy Xiao Ye... We've hardly ever seen these things." Someone muttered quietly.

"Wow, this person is quite capable, receiving so many nice things..." another voice chimed in, drawing out the words a bit.

Ye Wenxi is considered a semi-celebrity in the military dependents' compound.

One reason is that his lover is Lu Weidong, a "top figure in the military region".

Secondly, because she had caused some trouble in the past, she had been the subject of much discussion.

She pretended not to hear, nodded to Sister Wang, got on her bicycle, and left the mailroom under the watchful eyes of everyone.
