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

Ye Wenxi looked at the "Notification of Compliance Assessment and Investigation of Joint Military-Civilian Enterprises" in his hand, his eyes fixed on the last page of text, reading it repeatedly.

Wenxi Garment Factory is a pilot unit for joint military-civilian operation recognized by the military region. Its operating qualifications are legal and compliant, and its legitimate rights and interests are jointly protected by the military and local authorities.

[This statement clarifies that the recent counterfeit products and malicious reports appearing on the market are unrelated to the garment company and the military region, and are the result of deliberate actions by criminals.]

[It is explicitly required that relevant local departments assist in the investigation and handling of the aforementioned illegal activities in accordance with the law, regulate market operations, clarify false rumors, and safeguard the unity between the military and civilians.]

It's no longer just Director Chen's phone confirmation and the logistics department's certification materials; it's a genuine "military region-recognized unit" "jointly protected by both the military and local authorities."

She no longer needed to proactively report the case to the police or ask local departments to intervene; instead, the official document clearly stated that "relevant local departments are required to assist in the investigation and handling in accordance with the law."

Beside these lines of text was a bright and eye-catching official seal, clearly engraved with "Political Department of XX Military Region, People's Liberation Army of Z Country". The red seal was thick and heavy, exuding authority.

Ye Wenxi's chest heaved violently, as if an invisible force was surging within her chest, about to burst forth. The fatigue and helplessness of the past few days were completely washed away, replaced by a sense of steadiness and determination.

She knew that from the moment she received this document, she was no longer an isolated individual; she had the support of the military region and the protection of both the military and local authorities.

"This is the compliance assessment for your garment company. Just take a look at the conclusion and have a clear understanding of the situation," Zhou Qiwen said calmly, without any unnecessary formalities.

As he spoke, Zhou Qiwen tapped two other documents on the table with his fingers. The documents had neat covers and were stamped with the same bright red official seal. He neither opened them nor made her approach them.

"The other two are official letters from the military region to the public security bureau and the light industry and industry and commerce bureau respectively. They are following the corresponding procedures. The main purpose is to ask the public security bureau to verify the clues of counterfeiting and reports, and to ask the light industry and industry and commerce bureau to regulate the market and verify qualifications. You don't need to know the contents, and it is not appropriate to mention them to the public."

"Director Huang and Director Liu will take these two documents down to coordinate the process; you just need to cooperate."

Ye Wenxi took a deep breath, gently closed the document, straightened his back, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Deputy Commander Zhou, and thank you all for considering my needs and those of the Garment Company."

"If any officers from the Public Security Bureau, the Light Industry Bureau, or the Industry and Commerce Bureau come to my door, I will fully cooperate, provide the truth, and never conceal anything or cause any trouble. I will also continue to abide by the rules, ensure quality, operate legally, and not cause any trouble for the military region."

"I will definitely do a good job in business and live up to this recognition."

Zhou Qiwen looked at her and said, "Yes, Comrade Ye Wenxi, take your mark and go. Do a good job!"

"Hmm!" Ye Wenxi stood up, nodded to the leaders, and turned to leave the office.

The corridor was quiet. She walked slowly out of the building, her feet on the terrazzo floor. The wind blew from afar, carrying the dampness of the melting earth in early spring.

She didn't walk as fast as she had when she came. Slowly and gently, she moved her feet and sat down on a roadside step, placing her bag on her knees and letting out a long breath.

The sky overhead was a clear, bright blue, with a few thin, drifting clouds that looked like torn cotton.

Ye Wenxi just sat there, looking at the sky and clouds. The poplar trees by the roadside were sprouting tender yellow buds, which were not noticeable unless you looked closely.

The sun warmed her back, making her feel soft and relaxed. Her backpack was full of heavy documents, but she felt incredibly light.

She smiled slowly, like the clouds overhead, blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.

She stood up, dusted off her pants, and walked towards the clothing store.

The wind pushed her from behind, swaying the willow branches by the roadside, as if it were talking to her.

Look, spring has arrived.

Ye Wenxi didn't return to the clothing company, but went straight to the division headquarters building. She wanted to tell Lu Weidong the good news in person as soon as possible. She almost ran to the door of office 606 in the division headquarters building.

Knock knock knock—! She immediately knocked on the door.

"Come in," Lu Weidong's voice came from inside.

Ye Wenxi immediately beamed with joy, pushed open the door forcefully, and rushed inside.

"Wei Dong! I..."

The words stuck in her throat. The office was full of people, and several staff officers were gathered around a map, all turning to look at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She quickly closed the door with a bang. She stood at the door for two seconds, stunned. The door suddenly opened again, and Lu Weidong poked his head out and said to the room, "Wait for me a moment." He closed the door and led her a few steps to the side.

"How is it?" He saw the smile on her face and had already guessed.

"It's a good result, far exceeding expectations!" Ye Wenxi said in a low voice, her eyes shining.

"That's great!" Lu Weidong picked her up and spun her around. "You came here specifically to tell me this?"

"Yeah, I ran all the way from the military headquarters!" Ye Wenxi said with a big smile, her voice slightly breathless, "I just wanted to tell you this good news as soon as possible."

"Did I disturb your meeting? You should go back now." Ye Wenxi pushed him back.

Lu Weidong, however, did not move.

Ye Wenxi was still smiling, but she was panting heavily, her eyes filled with undisguised brightness and joy.

Seeing how hard she had run, Lu Weidong knew who she had gone to see and how difficult it had been for her these past few days. After the initial joy subsided, a bittersweet feeling of self-reproach welled up in his heart.

The smile on his lips faded slightly, and something else appeared in his eyes. Lu Weidong raised his hand and squeezed her frail shoulder, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed his words.

"What's wrong? Cheer up~" Ye Wenxi noticed and reached out to lift the corner of his mouth, smoothing out his furrowed brows.

Lu Weidong's brows remained furrowed.

Ye Wenxi pouted, put her hands on her hips, and looked at him: "If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!"

The next second, Lu Weidong cupped her face and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.

Ye Wenxi was initially nervous and tried to push him away. But when that kiss landed, all her nervousness vanished. Only the warmth of his lips remained, gently touching her, as if melting away all the unspoken words.

Their lips touched lightly, paused for a moment, and then parted.

Ye Wenxi looked up at him with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Wait for me to come home tonight," Lu Weidong said in a low voice.

"Mm." Ye Wenxi nodded.

Lu Weidong returned to his office, and Ye Wenxi also left the division headquarters building.

On the way out of the division headquarters, Ye Wenxi's lips were always curled into a sweet smile that she couldn't shake off.

Besides the good news from the military region.

And Lu Weidong's kiss.
