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

In Ye Wenxi's courtyard, two women sat by the flowers, drinking and chatting.

Wang Yingxue, a girl who has always been resolute, stubborn, and never willing to show weakness in front of others, finally opened her heart little by little.

She talked a lot with Ye Wenxi, about her mother, her work, and those thoughts that had been weighing on her mind for a long time.

Ye Wenxi listened, nodding occasionally and sometimes handing her a soda bottle to fill it up.

The sunlight shone on the two of them, making them feel exceptionally warm.

"Wenxi, tell me about your situation." Wang Yingxue leaned back in her chair, took a sip of her soda, and asked, "How can you help me find a caregiver for my mother?"

"When you went to see Aunt Sun, I chatted with Aunt Han for a while." Ye Wenxi put down her cup. "I think her needs for a caregiver are a bit too simple. She just wants someone to lend a hand and have something to eat. I guess she's probably worried about the cost."

"What kind of person do you think you should look for?" Ye Wenxi asked Wang Yingxue.

Wang Yingxue: "I think the most important thing is being able to do rehabilitation. I don't have many other requirements. I don't even need help with bathing. I can bathe my mom after I get home from get off work."

Wang Yingxue: "I can prepare all the housework and cooking in advance..."

Wang Yingxue said a lot, but was interrupted by Ye Wenxi.

"Wait a minute! Now that you've hired a caregiver, just state your needs clearly." Ye Wenxi saw that she seemed to be about to relapse into her old habits.

"Oh... okay." Wang Yingxue smiled and looked down.

Yeh Wen-hsi: "Tell me, how should I do my aunt's rehabilitation?"

Wang Yingxue: "I only know what the doctor told me."

Wang Yingxue: "I need to get a massage at least twice a day, from my shoulders to my arms, from my thighs to my calves, making sure every joint is worked. A whole set takes more than forty minutes."

Yeh Wen-hsi: "Would acupuncture help with the recovery?"

"Probably," Wang Yingxue hesitated for a moment, "but are there any people in the compound who know acupuncture?"

"Just keep asking, we'll see if we can find it later." Ye Wenxi waved her hand. "Think again, is there anything else we can do to help Aunt Han?"

"It would be even better if someone could talk to her more and not let her be bored by herself. They should also be more proactive and attentive to her needs." Wang Yingxue genuinely felt this way.

Ye Wenxi crossed her arms, rested her chin on her hand, thought for a while, and then suddenly sat up straight: "Here's what we'll do. I'll pay half of the caregiver's salary."

"Huh? No need, no need," Wang Yingxue was taken aback and quickly waved her hand.

"Listen to me! I have my own selfish reasons!" Ye Wenxi slapped her thigh.

Wenxi drew several vertical lines on the paper, dividing it into four columns.

First category: Can take care of people, but has no nursing experience.

Second category: Those with nursing experience.

The third category: those with nursing experience and professional rehabilitation skills.

The fourth category: those with nursing experience, professional rehabilitation skills, medical background, ability to observe patient condition, remind patients to take medication, ability to prepare medicinal cuisine, knowledge of physiotherapy, and ability to decoct traditional Chinese medicine.

To put it simply, the fourth point is equivalent to being a half-family doctor.

Ye Wenxi then labeled the prices below each column:

The first column pays 50 to 80 cents per day.

The second column, from 1.2 to 1.5 yuan.

The third column, from one dollar and fifty cents to two dollars.

The fourth column lists items starting at 2.5 yuan per day.

Ye Wenxi circled the last column heavily: "Let's look for these kinds."

Looking at the table, Wang Yingxue suddenly understood.

The difference between the first gear and the last gear is several times.

"But...can hiring a caregiver for my mother really lay the groundwork for that training course?" she wondered.

Ye Wenxi shook his head: "Of course, this alone is not enough. We need to lay a series of groundwork."

Ye Wenxi: "General workers and skilled workers need to be separated. Gradually, people will see a situation where general workers have to compete for jobs, while skilled workers don't have to compete and earn several times more money than others. What you've done is just the beginning."

Wang Yingxue nodded.

"I won't be conducting the interviews myself, but I might make a little more noise about it," Ye Wenxi said, looking at her. "I'll need you to talk to more people. I'll also be communicating with the mutual aid society."

"Okay! Just tell me how to do it, and I'll cooperate with you," Wang Yingxue replied readily.

Ye Wenxi: "Don't worry, I'll have Sister Yunxia accompany you."

The two chatted for a while longer. Ye Wenxi saw Wang Yingxue off and then rode her bicycle to the clothing store.

Zhang Yunxia was tidying up sample garments when she saw her come in. She put down what she was doing and asked, "How is it? Is Xiaoxue's mother alright?"

Ye Wenxi pulled her into a private meeting room, put her bag on the table, and pulled up a chair to sit down: "Sister Yunxia, ​​I have a favor to ask you."

"Okay, go ahead," Zhang Yunxia said, sitting down as well.

Ye Wenxi explained the whole story of setting up the training class to Zhang Yunxia.

This included Lu Weidong's advice to let the military region take the initiative to ask for help, rather than having them ask for it.

Yeh Wen-hsi: "So this matter must be pushed up from the bottom to let the higher-ups hear the truth."

Yeh Wen-hsi: "Employers need more professional personnel, and military dependents need to learn skills in order to find better opportunities."

Ye Wenxi: "This matter will probably take time; we can only gradually seep into it. Xiaoxue's family hiring a caregiver is just one aspect of it."

"I've already talked to Xiaoxue; I won't be involved in the recruitment process," Ye Wenxi said. "You accompany her to get this done. When recruiting, give her some pointers and let everyone see the gap between skills and income. We need to gradually instill this awareness."

Zhang Yunxia nodded: "Understood."

"I'm leaving now." Ye Wenxi stood up and was about to leave.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Zhang Yunxia asked.

Yeh Wen-hsi: "I still need to go to the mutual aid society and talk to them again."

Zhang Yunxia watched Ye Wenxi's retreating figure and sighed. Only Wenxi could handle something like this; anyone else would probably have gone straight to the military region to ask for help.

Ye Wenxi rode his bike and arrived before the mutual aid society closed.

Wang Xiaoling received a large stack of resumes today and is currently sitting at her desk organizing them.

Seeing Ye Wenxi enter, he looked up and said, "Sister Wenxi, what brings you here again?"

"I left in a hurry this morning, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with." Ye Wenxi walked over and sat down next to her.

Wang Xiaoling flipped through the forms and said, "There are quite a few people suitable for these jobs; basically, anyone can do them. It seems we really have to use a job rotation system."

She paused, then looked a little worried: "But... how exactly does it work? How do I register?"

Ye Wenxi chimed in, "The rotation isn't that complicated. Just remember three things: queuing, public announcement, and being on a rotation day."

"Whoever has done the work before will be ranked at the back, and whoever hasn't will be ranked at the front. The list will be posted before each assignment, and any objections will be raised on the spot. Once it's decided, it won't be changed. If you don't get the work twice in a row, you'll be given priority for the third time."

After listening, Wang Xiaoling immediately understood what to do.

Ye Wenxi nodded and casually asked, "Xiaoling, do we have skills files for the applicants? You know, those...books that show who can do what?"

Wang Xiaoling paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No."

"So what if I want to know if anyone in our residential compound knows acupuncture?"

"Then we'll have to find out," Wang Xiaoling said. "Do you need me to help you find out?"

Ye Wenxi rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while: "When I was talking to Xiaoxue about her mother today, something came to mind."

"What's up? Is there anything we can help you with?" Wang Xiaoling asked.

Ye Wenxi's lips curved slightly; she was about to begin laying the groundwork.

"Nothing much, just some...thoughts..."
