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

"Yingxue!" Ye Wenxi called out.

Wang Yingxue was talking to a technician when she heard the shout and quickly came over.

Ye Wenxi handed her a file folder.

"Here are our sales figures for this year. Could you calculate our return rate for me?" Ye Wenxi said earnestly.

Wang Yingxue was taken aback: "Return rate?"

"Yes!" Ye Wenxi nodded.

"Wenxi... I haven't calculated this before," Wang Yingxue said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Do you know what percentage means?" Ye Wenxi asked a simple question.

"Yes! Of course I know." Wang Yingxue nodded quickly.

"Once you know this, it's not difficult. You just need to find the numerator and denominator, but you may need to find some of the data yourself," Ye Wenxi said patiently.

"Then I'll give it a try?" Wang Yingxue's eyes lit up.

"Okay." Ye Wenxi glanced at his watch. "But you have to count them for me within an hour."

"Okay! I'll go study it now!" Wang Yingxue, carrying a file bag, found an empty conference table, spread out paper and pen, and began to calculate.

The return rate is actually an extremely simple indicator.

Ye Wenxi didn't tell her directly because he wanted to see her comprehension, self-learning, and exploration abilities, and to try to get her to do more.

Half an hour later, Wang Yingxue came running back with two pieces of paper in her hand.

"Finished calculating?" Ye Wenxi asked.

"Wenxi... I'm having trouble calculating this number." Wang Yingxue handed over the paper. "There are too many influencing factors."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Look, we've sold a total of 726 pieces of clothing, including adult and children's wear. So far, we've only received six items that have been explicitly returned for repair."

"But... these six are just the ones we've opened. There are still unopened ones, and some that haven't been returned. There might also be... many that were just sold and aren't damaged yet." Wang Yingxue said, feeling completely overwhelmed.

"It's alright, Yingxue, take your time. Give me the number for the first condition today, and we'll refine the rest gradually," Ye Wenxi said gently.

What she wanted to see was whether Wang Yingxue could consider diverse scenarios.

Ye Wenxi is preparing to do something; she plans to find an opportunity to "manage upwards" the military region.

Therefore, she needs to prepare some key data and materials in advance.

When dealing with military regions, you can't just rely on words.

She wants to proactively establish a channel for upward communication and reporting.

We proactively submitted all the information that could prove Wenxi Garment Co., Ltd. is a conscientious and responsible company, including quality data, management processes, customer feedback, and growth figures, as well as anything that demonstrates the value it brings.

This is a lesson Ye Wenxi learned in her previous workplace: When dealing with key power holders who can influence the survival of a company, one cannot passively wait; one must proactively present oneself and strive for their support.

She proactively reported anything the military region cared about; she also shared any good information the military region was unaware of.

She could even use this communication channel to subtly influence the other party's impression of the clothing company, so that they wouldn't be caught off guard when something really goes wrong.

As it approached six o'clock, Ye Wenxi cleared the area ahead of time, letting the technicians go home early, leaving her alone in the garment factory.

Zhang Yunxia was supposed to come, but Chen Yuanchuan had something come up, and she also had to take care of Xiao Xiangyang, so Ye Wenxi told her to go back first.

Lu Weidong called before leaving to let her know he was ready to go. Ye Wenxi had just hung up when she heard Lang Yuqin's voice from the doorway:

"Xiao Ye! Dinner's ready!"

Ye Wenxi quickly ran to the door and helped her carry in the dishes, which were wrapped tightly and were still hot to the touch.

She carried the dishes to the round table in the conference room, uncovering each dish one by one.

Braised crucian carp, stir-fried liver tips, scrambled eggs with soy sauce, stewed beef with potatoes, a plate of cold dishes, tomato and egg soup, and a bowl of rice as the main course.

It's a simple home-style dish, but it's quite substantial with a high meat content and a large amount of vegetables.

Ye Wenxi then handed the money for the purchase to Lang Yuqin, who counted it and left with a smile.

Ye Wenxi turned around and set out the bowls and chopsticks, then took out several bottles of wine and drinks she had brought from home and placed them on the table.

"Uh... the environment is a bit lacking." She looked around and muttered to herself, "How about we partition it off to create a private dining room?"

She walked to the middle of the venue, pondering where would be suitable, when she heard Lu Weidong's voice coming from the doorway:

"Wenxi, we're here."

Ye Wenxi walked back quickly, and when she looked up, she saw Zhou Xuchen standing at the door wearing a jacket made by the clothing company.

"Director Zhou, it's been a long time! Please come in, please come in!" she greeted with a smile.

"Comrade Ye, hello." Zhou Xuchen smiled gently. "You've gone to all this trouble. You're too kind. We can just grab something to eat in the cafeteria."

"That's different! I'm treating you to a meal, how can I just eat in the cafeteria? Today I specially asked our chef to prepare his signature dishes."

Ye Wenxi was warm and attentive to Zhou Xuchen, speaking a series of polite words flawlessly. Lu Weidong was standing to the side, and Ye Wenxi didn't even bother to pay attention to him for a moment.

As they were talking, Zhou Xuchen was drawn to the bulletin board that Zhang Yunxia had temporarily set up and turned to look at it.

Lu Weidong slowly walked behind Ye Wenxi without saying a word.

Suddenly, Ye Wenxi felt a large hand pinch her buttocks hard.

"Uh!" She shuddered and turned to glare at Lu Weidong.

Lu Weidong then strolled away, satisfied.

The three people sat down at the round table.

Zhou Xuchen took off his coat and draped it over the back of the chair, rolled up his shirt sleeves, swept it across the table, and smiled.

"Comrade Ye, this is a better feast than what we eat during the Spring Festival."

"Of course." Ye Wenxi poured him a glass of wine. "It's a rare treat to have you here for dinner, so we can't be careless."

She turned to look at Lu Weidong, who was pouring himself water with his head down, his face expressionless.

"Try this fish. Aunt Lang said it's the freshest one she picked out at the restaurant today," Ye Wenxi said to Zhou Xuchen with a smile.

But then he picked up a piece of fish and put it into Lu Weidong's bowl.

Lu Weidong glanced down at the bowl, pursed his lips, and looked up at Zhou Xuchen, saying, "Director Zhou, please don't be shy, eat up."

"Okay, sure!"

"Wow, your chef's skills are really good." Zhou Xuchen picked up a piece of beef and nodded repeatedly.

The group ate and chatted in a relaxed atmosphere. After several dishes and rounds of drinks, Ye Wenxi finally got down to business.

She briefly recounted the conclusions they had reached during the day to the two of them.

"In addition, we will also create a unique product serial number, which consists of a fixed rule and a random number," Ye Wenxi said slowly as he poured Zhou Xuchen a glass of wine.

"Random numbering? Fixed numbers that are completely random?" Zhou Xuchen asked.

"Hmm... I give them out myself on a regular, completely random basis," Ye Wenxi replied.

Zhou Xuchen put down his chopsticks and pondered for a while.

"Comrade Ye, I do have a suggestion," he said after a pause.
