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

Su Feng sighed again, trying to calm himself down and get these thoughts out of his head.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

A figure rushed straight in.

Su Feng felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing the man, and his expression immediately became somewhat flustered.

Lu Weidong was about to slam the report onto his desk when he suddenly stopped.

"Is it really necessary?" Lu Weidong looked him over with a strange expression. "Is it really necessary to be this scared?"

Su Feng glanced at himself as well. He was holding onto the handrail with both hands, instinctively leaning back, his expression somewhat out of control.

He quickly took his hand off the armrest, shrugged awkwardly, and glared at Lu Weidong.

"What are you doing?" Lu Weidong asked.

"It's nothing," Su Feng said curtly. "Why didn't you knock?"

"Don't you often come into my office without knocking?" Lu Weidong muttered.

"Oh, I'll be more careful next time." Su Feng didn't argue back or exchange any pleasantries; he just responded casually.

Lu Weidong stared at him, as if he'd seen a dog that could speak, and stood there stunned for a few seconds: "Do you have something to hide from me?"

Su Feng suddenly became agitated: "What the hell have I done wrong! Get out of here right now!"

Lu Weidong didn't leave; instead, he pulled up a chair and sat down: "I heard you accepted the role? What made you decide to do that? Want to be a star?"

Lu Weidong made fun of him without any sense of humor.

Su Feng was furious: "I don't want to be a celebrity!"

"Then why didn't you refuse?" Lu Weidong said matter-of-factly, as if he were talking about something inexplicable.

Su Feng gritted his teeth: "You think everyone's like you? Treating orders from superiors like a joke?"

"Yes, that's right. This report must be revised and given to me before the end of the day." Lu Weidong instantly adopted the demeanor of a superior, then got up and left without even closing the door.

"I..." Su Feng gritted his teeth, too angry to speak.

He jumped up, strode to the door, slammed it shut, and stood there panting heavily, hands on his hips.

But Lu Weidong's antics actually helped to dispel much of his initial frustration and anxiety.

Su Feng picked up the report and began to read it carefully.

-

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone, gave Zhang Yunxia some instructions, and casually satisfied Zhang Yunxia's gossipy nature by explaining why Su Feng had accepted the filming of this movie.

Zhang Yunxia patted Ye Wenxi on the shoulder: "We've discussed the matter of everyday clothes. Don't worry, we'll make sure it's arranged properly and it'll even save us some budget."

Ye Wenxi was taken aback: "Huh? What do you mean by 'discuss'? Why didn't you tell me?"

She stared, hands on her hips, and refused to move.

"You're too wasteful. Trust us, there won't be a single mistake," Zhang Yunxia said naturally.

"I...I'm a spendthrift?" Ye Wenxi pointed at herself, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing Zhang Yunxia turn to leave, she grabbed Zhang Yunxia's arm.

"No, you have to tell me what happened." Ye Wenxi started to act like a spoiled child.

"I'm telling you, you're going to ruin things for us. You'd better get out of here." Zhang Yunxia raised her hand to shoo her away.

"Huh?..." Ye Wenxi watched as Zhang Yunxia walked forward.

Ye Wenxi turned to look at Sun Xiaolan, who was watching the show, and their eyes met.

Sun Xiaolan quickly lowered her head.

Ye Wenxi strode towards Sun Xiaolan: "You know too, don't you? Tell me!!"

Ye Wenxi pointed at Sun Xiaolan, his face almost touching hers. Sun Xiaolan leaned back slightly, her eyes drifting towards Zhang Yunxia.

Zhang Yunxia waved her hand vigorously at her.

But Sun Xiaolan wasn't sure... This idea came from Li Yanyu and her, and they told Zhang Yunxia about it.

Once Zhang Yunxia agreed, she made the decision and settled the matter immediately.

"Sister Yunxia, ​​let's tell Wenxi instead." Sun Xiaolan was almost driven to tears, her face contorted in a terrible grimace.

Zhang Yunxia glanced at her, sighed, and then looked at Sun Xiaolan: "Alright then."

She turned to look at Ye Wenxi: "Don't stop us! We're doing this for the good of the clothing company."

"And I guarantee that the plan we've discussed is absolutely flawless! It will definitely benefit both the clothing company and the production crew."

Ye Wenxi's lips twitched: "If it's so good, why didn't you tell me??"

"Okay! I'll tell you! Xiaolan, Teacher Li, you two come over here." Zhang Yunxia turned around and called out.

Ye Wenxi plopped down in her chair, leaned back, crossed her arms, and waited for them to explain to her.

Sun Xiaolan and Li Yanyu and a few others formed a circle.

Sun Xiaolan rubbed her hands together and spoke first: "Wenxi, we can't buy all new clothes for everyday wear. Aren't we already familiar with the old clothes we wear? Why don't we donate them to the film crew as props?"

"Our clothes are also very practical, and they are available for men, women, young and old." Sun Xiaolan said, nodding to herself as if to bolster her courage.

Li Yanyu nodded in agreement, lightly slapping her thigh: "Right. Buy new ones; wearing them once or twice is a waste. Those clothes add up to a lot of money; there's so much better to do with that money!"

After Li Yanyu finished speaking, she glanced at Zhang Yunxia.

Zhang Yunxia took over the conversation, leaning forward slightly: "So we were thinking, could we organize something in the military dependents' area and gather some of everyone's everyday clothes?"

"If the production team really can't find any good ones, then we can use the budget to make up for them. That way, most of the money is saved, right?" she said, spreading her hands as if it were a matter of course.

Sun Xiaolan added, her voice a little louder than before: "That's right, you see, not all the people in those movies wear new clothes. The film crew reuses props."

After Sun Xiaolan finished speaking, she pursed her lips and waited for Ye Wenxi's reaction.

Li Yanyu looked at Ye Wenxi and softened her tone: "We think this plan is good. It can meet the needs of the production team and save the company some money."

Zhang Yunxia slammed her hand on the table with a loud "bang": "So I made the decision first. When choosing clothes this afternoon, let the film crew pick out their everyday clothes. If they want to, they can take them; if not, we have the budget to cover it."

Ye Wenxi crossed her arms and remained silent for a long time, her gaze sweeping back and forth between them.

"I have one question..." Ye Wenxi said with a serious expression, "Why do you all think I would disagree with this?"

The women looked at each other, but none of them said a word.

"Why wouldn't I agree to such a good plan? If you had told me, I definitely would have agreed."

"Oh dear, we thought you were trying to save time and money again." Zhang Yunxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Wenxi rolled her eyes and tilted her head to one side: "Do you really think I'm that wasteful?"

Sun Xiaolan and Li Yanyu exchanged a glance, then smiled simultaneously and said in unison, "What do you think?"

"What else could this be?" Zhang Yunxia pointed to the rows of orange soda drinks on the conference room cabinet.

"Isn't this for everyone to drink?" Ye Wenxi looked at her, puzzled.

"It's so expensive! Can't you just drink water? Why do you have to drink soda?" Zhang Yunxia looked at her with disdain.

"Besides, it's not much money," Ye Wenxi said matter-of-factly.

"And what about these? These must be several hundred, right?" Zhang Yunxia waved her hand, pointing to the large floor fans that were placed every few people.

"And then there's the requirement to buy meat from the service center, eating roast chicken every few days, and constantly being given out clothes..."

"This..." Ye Wenxi was a little unsure.

She understood what Zhang Yunxia meant; they were treating the clothing company like their own home, which was why they were so distressed.

Perhaps they're so used to living a life of "saving wherever possible" that they feel a little guilty enjoying such great benefits.

No! This is no longer a question of whether the benefits are good or bad.

For people like them who are used to being frugal and have even experienced poverty, buying everything new and spending money to solve everything... that's called extravagance, downright extravagance.

Ye Wenxi smiled and waved her hand, standing up: "Alright, alright, I agree. It's settled then."

After she finished speaking, she smiled, turned around, and walked out. Before leaving, she turned back and called out:

"From now on, you'll have to get used to living a good life!"
