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

Chen Yuanchuan took out several pages of handwritten manuscript paper from his briefcase. The handwriting was neat, and the edges of the pages were slightly curled.

He unfolded the paper to show everyone, and they could glimpse the clear titles: Background, Purpose, and Implementation Plan.

"This is a proposal drafted by Comrade Ye Wenxi."

"Regarding the pilot establishment of 'labor mutual aid service centers' in our military dependents' compound."

He looked at everyone for their opinions: "Shall I give you a brief overview of her thought process?"

Deputy Commander Zhou laughed: "Old Chen, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Chen Yuanchuan straightened his face and began to explain according to the contents of the manuscript.

"The core idea is to effectively organize the military dependents in the institute who have skills and spare time."

"Families with temporary needs, such as childcare, house cleaning, or clothing alteration, can apply for a small fee."

"Military dependents with the appropriate time and skills can undertake these needs and receive reasonable compensation."

"This move can not only solve the practical difficulties of some families, but also open up new income channels for military dependents with spare capacity."

"More importantly, it is about recognizing the value of the labor of military dependents and enhancing their sense of belonging and self-identity."

He explained things clearly and logically, from the origin of the problem and the operating model to the expected benefits.

No one spoke during the gathering; everyone listened intently.

After speaking for about ten minutes, Chen Yuanchuan paused briefly.

"Therefore, the Mutual Aid Society aims to explore a mechanism that can transform the skills and time of military dependents into tangible economic benefits and personal value."

He turned to Director Huang of the Political Department and explained, "Director Huang, this isn't me stealing your job."

"Comrade Ye Wenxi first discussed it with my wife Yunxia, ​​and my wife thought it was good, so she brought it over for me to see."

"I've been studying this for several days," Chen Yuanchuan said, his tone becoming serious.

"This idea is believed to address practical needs and aligns with the current policy direction. It may have value for pilot testing."

He then turned to Director Huang of the Political Department: "Old Huang, how many family members are there in the compound who have completed the procedures for accompanying military personnel?"

Director Huang quickly replied: "As of the end of last year, there were a total of more than 2,100 people."

Chen Yuanchuan nodded, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Look, there's quite a lot," he said calmly.

The weight of these words is self-evident.

Everyone understood the meaning behind those words.

With a large population comes great demand, and if this project succeeds, it will have a significant impact.

After Chen Yuanchuan finished speaking, the dinner table remained quiet for a while.

Everyone is processing this information.

The whole idea sounds wonderful, like it's depicting an ideal picture of mutual help and love.

The idea itself isn't wrong, but can it really be done?

Would anyone be willing to pay someone to do housework?

Can this really bring in income for everyone?

A series of questions swirled in everyone's mind.

"Wei Dong," Deputy Commander Zhou spoke first.

"Yes," Lu Weidong replied.

"How's your wife's garment company doing? What scale are you on?" Deputy Commander Zhou asked in detail.

Lu Weidong paused for a moment when asked the question, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

He knew that Ye Wenxi was very busy every day, busy studying, busy designing, busy assigning tasks and managing.

But he never actually asked about the specific amount of money he earned or the number of orders he took.

Chen Yuanchuan understood immediately upon seeing his reaction and smiled as he continued the conversation.

"Hey, you definitely don't know this as well as I do. My Yunxia told me everything."

He smoothly steered the conversation back, naturally helping Lu Weidong out of the awkward situation.

Zhang Yunxia and Ye Wenxi have different personalities. She talks to Chen Yuanchuan about the clothing company almost every day.

There was a hint of pride in his voice: "As Xiao Ye said, I'm a partner!"

Chen Yuanchuan said:

"The orders they're taking now come not only from our own facility, but also from outside."

"I heard that some of them are from schools, and some are from the city. They all came here because of its reputation."

"Just in the last two weeks."

He made a three-pointing gesture.

"We've already received about thirty orders. As for the sales revenue... it's not small, over a thousand."

He paused, then emphasized, "Moreover, we didn't lose any games; it was all thanks to word of mouth, one person telling another."

Chen Yuanchuan looked at Deputy Commander Zhou and asked with a smile:

"Old Zhou, is this what you wanted to ask earlier?"

Upon hearing this, the leaders at the table all showed expressions of surprise.

They originally thought that a "clothing company" would just be a place where they could take on some sewing and mending work, make ordinary clothes, and earn some pocket money.

More than 30 orders, more than 1,000 yuan?

This shows that the price and profit margin of a single garment are definitely not low.

How did she do it?

As Zhou Qiwen, the deputy commander of the military region, listened, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"I never expected that today's dinner would yield such an unexpected result."

He did not immediately express his opinion.

Once he reaches his position, his words carry weight, and his attitude directly influences the direction and intensity of actions taken by those below him.

But Zhou Qiwen is, after all, a man who has weathered many storms and possesses keen insight.

He quickly grasped a key premise from Chen Yuanchuan's introduction.

The idea of ​​this "mutual aid society" is certainly good.

But the real cornerstone that can change the situation, bring practical benefits and widespread influence is Ye Wenxi's garment company, which has already begun to show results.

The logic is simple: just like in the economy, you need to have a leading industry that can make money in order to create jobs and drive the upstream and downstream industries.

The ready-made clothing company is the "leader".

When its business is booming, it needs more helpers. Only when the helpers earn money can they have the resources and the need to purchase other services.

This will truly revitalize the "internal circulation" of the entire residential compound.

"Let some people get rich first, and then let them help others to get rich."

This is a vivid microcosm of the current national policy at the level of family compounds.

Ye Wenxi is undoubtedly the one with the greatest potential to become "the first to get rich" and "a leader".

Only if she can scale up can the entire mutual aid chain truly start moving; otherwise, it's just empty talk.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiwen suddenly had a thought and grasped another subtle point.

Ye Wenxi... that young military dependent.

Is she so certain that she can make a lot of money and build a big business?

Otherwise, why would she have started worrying about such a grand topic as "revitalizing the resources of the entire compound" so early on?

This can only mean one thing: she has great confidence and ambition in her own development.

She clearly foresaw that the few helpers she had now would definitely not be able to meet her future needs.

What she needs is a larger, more dynamic, and more efficient "talent pool" and "market".

This vision and boldness earned Zhou Qiwen's silent approval.

A gentler, more interested smile appeared on his face as he turned his gaze to Lu Weidong.

His tone was casual, yet it carried a sense of importance.

"Weidong, would it be convenient for you to invite your partner over for a chat another day?"

Lu Weidong suddenly stood up.

"Sir, I'll relay your message, but the final decision rests with her."

His tone was calm, and his attitude was respectful yet resolute.

"I can't make decisions for her."

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence at the dinner table, followed by a burst of good-natured laughter.

Several leaders pointed at Lu Weidong and shook their heads with laughter, instantly easing the tension.

But Su Feng did not join in the laughter.

He lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth curved upwards very slightly.

I heard so much about Ye Wenxi today.

If Lu Weidong were to say "Okay, I'll let her come" right now, or make any promises on her behalf just to curry favor with his superiors, Su Feng would only feel contempt.

Can't she make decisions for herself?

That's right.

After all, she was a woman whom Su Feng could take notice of.

They should not be treated with contempt by anyone.

Even her husband is not allowed.
