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

"Quiet! Stop arguing! Stop being stubborn!" Wang Xiaoling shouted at the crowd.

But nobody listened to her. The two groups stood there, face to face, neither willing to give in.

There were also onlookers nearby, muttering "That's right, that's right," but it was unclear which side they were on.

Ye Wenxi looked at Wang Xiaoling, who was surrounded in the middle, still clutching the chalk in her hand, her face full of helplessness.

There's another sign next to it: The Logistics Department's farm is harvesting potatoes, expected to take five days, requiring ten people per day.

These jobs have low barriers to entry and quick money, so everyone wants to do them. But this kind of scrambling will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Ye Wenxi stood there for a while and thought, "No, if we keep fighting like this, we'll end up fighting today."

She walked over to Wang Xiaoling, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Xiaoling, stop writing for now, listen to me."

Wang Xiaoling looked up at her and nodded: "Okay, Sister Wenxi, you arrange it."

Ye Wenxi took out paper and pen from his bag, turned around and shouted to the people in the room:

"Everyone, calm down and listen to me! I have a way to divide the work fairly among us."

As soon as Ye Wenxi spoke, those who were still making noise gradually shut up.

"Comrade, what did you just say?" Someone leaned forward.

"I mean, I have a way to be as fair as possible. It's much better than everyone shouting and fighting like this. This can't go on. No matter who gets the work, someone will always feel it's unfair."

"Comrade Ye, do you have any ideas?"

Ye Wenxi held up the paper in his hand.

"Please take a sheet of paper and write down your information: your name, where you live, your skills, what jobs you can do, and what jobs you're willing to take. Just be clear, no need to write too much. After you're done, give this sheet to Xiaoling. The rest of you can go home for today."

"All job seekers will be screened based on the information you provided. Those who meet the criteria will be notified, and a second round of communication will be organized."

Some people were unhappy and grumbled, "But with so many of us competing for just a few jobs, who gets them and who doesn't—you guys decide all of that. What if you always assign jobs to others and we don't get any? What then?"

Ye Wenxi glanced at the man: "In the past, people had to fight for jobs, which was unreasonable. I have an idea."

"I'm just letting you all know today. If you think it's acceptable, I'll report this suggestion to the military dependents' institute and the military region, and we'll implement it accordingly from now on."

"If you think that won't work, then we'll have to discuss it with the military region again and come up with a better solution."

The room was silent for a few seconds. No one dared to open their mouth to refute. Everyone present knew that the mutual aid society was built up by Ye Wenxi, and she had absolute authority on this matter.

Ye Wenxi paused for a moment, and seeing that no one dared to object, he said, "I will suggest to the military region that a work rotation system be implemented."

She glanced at the people present.

"I suggest that the mutual aid society establish a claim ledger to record who frequently claims tasks and who wants to do them but hasn't been able to."

"Take turns doing the simple, easy jobs that anyone can do. Those who do a lot of work should share some with those who haven't done it before."

She paused, then emphasized, "Of course! Except for special jobs and jobs requiring skills."

"I created this mutual aid society hoping to provide residents of the family compound with an extra source of income so they could live a better life. If you trust me, that's all for today. Please return your information and we'll notify you later."

"To be honest, instead of fighting over jobs that anyone can do, you should learn some skills."

"Putting everything else aside, we're always hiring for our garment factory."

"If more skilled workers applied for technician positions in our residential compound, I wouldn't have to worry about finding jobs. If a few designers could come along, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Ye Wenxi stopped talking at this point.

She hadn't originally planned to bring this up today, but given Ye Wenxi's personality, how could she not seize the opportunity in this situation?

At this moment, Director Zhang of the Military Family Committee walked in from outside.

She had been listening at the door for a while, and once inside, she chimed in: "I think Comrade Ye's idea is correct. Everyone should think about it carefully, isn't that the truth? Everyone wants to have work to do; we can't just rely on scrambling, can we?"

Someone below responded, "Yes."

"This suggestion is correct, I support it."

"That's right, that's how we should do it."

Director Zhang waved his hand to quiet everyone down: "Since everyone agrees, then trust us and give us the choice."

"If the job is simple and there are many applicants, then we can take turns."

"After all, this is a military family compound, so we won't cut corners and will guarantee absolute fairness and impartiality."

Everyone nodded, their voices much quieter than before.

Wang Xiaoling had finished updating the blackboard. She turned around and said, "Everyone, take a look. Write down your name, address, skills, and what kind of work you want to do on the paper. Once you're done, hand it to me, and we'll let you know the rest."

Some people started taking paper, some took pens, and some gathered in front of the blackboard to look carefully.

One by one, they finished writing, handed in their work, and left, gradually bringing order to the room.

Director Zhang walked over and looked at Ye Wenxi: "Comrade Ye, it's all thanks to you being here today. It wasn't this chaotic a few days ago. It seems like it was only after the military region's work was merged into ours a while ago that everyone's enthusiasm suddenly soared, and it's only now that things have started to get hectic."

Ye Wenxi nodded: "Yes, I understand. There will definitely be more and more of that later."

"By the way, Director Zhang, I heard a film crew has come to our military region. Has anyone from them come to the mutual aid society looking for anyone?"

"I've never heard of this before." Director Zhang turned to Wang Xiaoling. "Xiaoling, has anyone from the production crew inquired about it?"

Wang Xiaoling shook her head: "No, I haven't heard of it."

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just asking." Ye Wenxi had just finished speaking when someone suddenly called her.

"Wenxi".

She turned her head and saw Wang Yingxue standing at the door with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoxue? What brings you here? Who's at the clinic?" Ye Wenxi walked around the counter.

"Aunt Sun is helping to look after them," Wang Yingxue said as she walked over. "I'm here to post a job opening for a caregiver. I'll go back after I register everyone."

Wang Yingxue was just about to talk to Wang Xiaoling.

"Xiaoxue!" Ye Wenxi suddenly called out to Wang Yingxue.

"I just remembered something urgent, come with me for a moment," Ye Wenxi said, and started walking out.

Wang Yingxue was stunned for a moment, but quickly followed.

Ye Wenxi walked to the open space behind the mutual aid society, turned to Wang Yingxue and said, "Xiaoxue, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"What's wrong, Wenxi?" Wang Yingxue was seeing Ye Wenxi's serious expression for the first time.

"Aunt Han, could you help me find a caregiver this time?" Ye Wenxi asked a little shyly, then quickly added, "I will definitely help you find a caregiver as soon as possible. I will choose the most suitable one, the one that you can trust the most, and the one that Aunt Han will be most satisfied with."

"Is that all? I'm fine with that." Wang Yingxue looked at her, "But isn't that taking up too much of your time?"

"No, to be honest, I have my own purpose. I want to take this opportunity to fill everyone's heads with something," Ye Wenxi said.

"Huh? What?" Wang Yingxue didn't understand.

Ye Wenxi smiled slyly: "Skills are the key to a secure job, and learning is like saving money."
