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

Upon hearing this, Director Liu immediately stood up and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Hey, hey, no, no, no! This can't be your responsibility! You meant well, trying to benefit the school and students, how can this be blamed on you?"

His tone was earnest, with a hint of urgency:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The publicity campaign doesn't need to be withdrawn. I'll immediately arrange for someone to investigate and give you a clear answer."

He and Ye Wenxi exchanged pleasantries, apologized to each other, and said many polite things.

Before leaving, Ye Wenxi thanked Director Liu again for his understanding and support, and then turned to walk out.

As Ye Wenxi reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned around:

"By the way, could you please not tell my sister about this yet? After all, that person is a very important friend to her."

Director Liu was slightly taken aback, then nodded knowingly. It seemed that the couple knew who that person was.

"I understand, Comrade Ye." His tone became serious. "We will investigate this matter discreetly and handle it seriously."

He looked at the two of them: "If you know who that person is, would you mind telling me directly?"

Ye Wenxi stood at the doorway, turned around, and looked as if she was lost in thought.

"His name seems to be... Du Yi."

She paused, then added, her tone tinged with concern:

"Director Liu, when we contacted that student, we suggested we find out more about his situation, whether he was facing any financial difficulties and had no other choice but to do this."

"Otherwise..." Ye Wenxi shook his head, his tone filled with regret, "It's such a pity that we were classmates at the military university."

As Director Liu listened, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

It turned out to be a male classmate, and it seems to really be about money.

His mind raced, and based on the conversation they had just had, he could guess most of what had happened.

The unique clothes that Lu Weihua and Ye Wenxi made an exception for must have been prepared for a "very important friend".

And this "very important friend" actually sold it.

It seems that it's not just Wenxi Clothing Company that has been hurt.

After seeing Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong off, Director Liu closed the door, returned to his desk, pondered for a moment, and then picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is me. There's a student in our department named Du Yi. Could you help me look into his background and find some of his close friends to find out more about his conduct?"

He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and added, "By the way, don't involve Lu Weihua."

..........

"In that case, he would have to explain why the clothes ended up in that person's hands in order to clear himself of suspicion of reselling them," Ye Enxi said to Lu Weidong.

"That's a ruthless move of yours. You're going to die either way." Lu Weidong said with a smile as he looked at Ye Wenxi.

"Who told him to do such a despicable thing, to actually deceive our Weihua?" Ye Wenxi thought, her teeth itching with hatred.

"However... this matter may not be able to be kept from Wei Hua," Lu Weidong suddenly said.

Ye Wenxi sighed.

"If it really can't be hidden anymore, then it's a good thing. Everyone has to encounter a few bad people, and this can be considered a price to pay for growth," Ye Wenxi said, feigning profundity.

"Hiss..." Lu Weidong turned to look at her.

He frowned, looked him up and down, and said meaningfully:

"I didn't realize Ms. Ye was such a relationship expert." Lu Weidong raised an eyebrow at her. "Ms. Ye, have you ever experienced any 'price' involved?"

Ye Wenxi glanced at him, then seemed lost in memories, her gaze distant.

"Let me think about it..."

She carefully stretched out one hand and counted on her fingers:

"One...two...three...four..."

Lu Weidong: "..."

Lu Weidong: "Alright, stop counting..."

"Do you need me to elaborate?" Ye Wenxi tilted her head and asked sincerely.

Lu Weidong took a deep breath, pulled her shoulders close, and held her tightly in his arms, saying through gritted teeth:

"You're just trying to annoy me."

Ye Wenxi wrapped her arms around his waist, laughing so hard she was shaking: "Hehe, just kidding~"

The two walked forward in a sticky, inseparable way, like two pieces of candy that couldn't be separated.

Lu Weidong looked down at her, his lips curving into a smile, and then he sighed softly.

"Are you still angry?" Ye Wenxi could see through his thoughts.

"I really want to punch him," Lu Weidong said through gritted teeth.

"You could kill him with one punch. If it happens again, let me do it. My footwork is very accurate." Ye Wenxi raised his chin, feeling quite proud.

"I'm finding it increasingly difficult to hide your hooligan traits," Lu Weidong said, turning his head to look at her teasingly.

"Oh, so this is the female hooligan? Like a monkey stealing peaches—!"

Ye Wenxi launched a direct attack on Xiao Lu Weidong.

"Snapped!"

Lu Weidong suddenly grabbed her wrist, slowly turned his head, and looked at her with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

"So you're practicing grabbing instead of kicking? You've used me as practice...who are you planning to steal from next?"

"Uh..." Ye Wenxi was speechless.

"Huh? Du Yi?" Ye Wenxi suddenly widened her eyes and looked behind him.

Lu Weidong subconsciously let go of her hand and followed her gaze.

Ye Wenxi took off running!

She ran very fast, her coat billowing behind her, her hair flowing, and the streetlights receding one by one, her shadow sometimes long, sometimes short, as if running alongside her.

Lu Weidong stood there, watching her laugh wildly, then strode after her.

Lu Weidong caught up with Ye Wenxi in a few steps.

"ah--!"

Lu Weidong picked her up from behind and spun her around.

On a quiet night, on a deserted path, laughter and playful shouts mingled together, scattering along the way.

As night deepened, the laughter faded away.

Lu Weidong drove Ye Wenxi through the sleeping city of Harbin, heading towards the military region.

Ye Wenxi leaned back in the passenger seat and fell asleep at some point. Lu Weidong pulled her coat up a little higher and smiled slightly.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ye Wenxi woke up.

She opened her eyes and found the seat next to her empty. The blanket was still warm, and she could hear the lively noise of people coming and going from the military dependents' compound outside the window.

A new day has begun.

She quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and went out.

In the yard, her bicycle was still parked in the same spot, with a thin layer of frost on the handlebars.

She carried her work materials, along with a large amount of local specialties and gifts she had brought back. The bicycle was hanging on the handlebars, stuffed in the basket, and tied to the back seat. The whole bicycle looked like an overloaded small truck. She pedaled with difficulty towards the clothing company.

The morning breeze was still a bit cool, but it made me feel exceptionally awake when it hit my face.

The poplar trees by the roadside have sprouted new buds, with specks of green dotting their grayish branches.

Someone came out of the residential compound to take out the trash, nodded to her, and she smiled in response.

I rode my bicycle all the way, turned onto that familiar alley, and saw the gate of the garment company open in the distance.

Several bicycles were parked at the entrance, and people were already busy inside; the faint clatter of sewing machines could be heard.

"I'm back!" Ye Wenxi shouted, her face beaming.

"Ah? Wenxi is back!"

"It's Comrade Ye!"

"Oh, you're finally back!"

The sewing machine technicians stood up, put down their work, and gathered around with smiles.

In the bustling clothing store, Ye Wenxi handed out the items she had brought, explaining them with a smile as she distributed them:

"This is milk fan, made from milk. They say it's especially delicious when roasted."

"This is a flower cake; it doesn't have a long shelf life, so you have to eat it quickly."

"And this one, is..."

"Wenxi, don't break up yet, come here for a second." Sun Xiaolan pulled her to the side.

Ye Wenxi was led by her to the non-office area behind the warehouse.

"What's wrong?" Ye Wenxi asked, looking puzzled.

"Director Huang came again yesterday! But I told him you won't be back for a few more days. Don't show your face for the next few days, let's think of a solution." Sun Xiaolan said earnestly, thinking it was a good idea.

After hearing this, Ye Wenxi laughed instead:

"No need. I'll invite Director Huang right away and welcome him to come and provide guidance."

"Huh?" Sun Xiaolan was stunned. "Didn't you say someone might have complained about us?"

"A clear conscience fears no accusation." Ye Wenxi patted her shoulder. "What we need is a third party to testify for us. Director Huang alone isn't enough; I'll think about getting some other people to come along."

She turned around, her tone resolute:

"We need to invite a third party to unpack the packages on-site and analyze them face-to-face."
