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

Ye Wenxi and Li Yuejin arranged to have a simple lunch together.

We chatted for a bit in the military canteen and exchanged ideas about the latest design requirements for the food factory.

She did not apply to any organization for a meeting room or reception venue.

After all, this is a "private matter" outside of the clothing company, and it's not appropriate to occupy the organization's public resources.

She tidied herself up a bit and made a special trip to the camp gate to greet them.

Around 11:30, two black cars slowly drove up.

Li Yuejin saw a young woman standing at the door from a distance while in the car.

Seeing her clothes and appearance, he was reminded of the clothing company Ye Wenxi had mentioned, and he told the driver to pull over and brake.

Ye Wenxi stared blankly as the two cars stopped by the roadside.

Six or seven people got out of the black car in a flurry.

Li Yuejin got out of the car and walked quickly forward.

"Hello, are you Comrade Ye Wenxi?"

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Wenxi carefully examined the person.

Li Yuejin looked to be in his forties, of medium height, wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit, with a smile on his face and a shrewd businessman's brows and eyes.

"I am Ye Wenxi. You are... Factory Director Li?"

"Oh, Comrade Ye, it's great to finally see you!"

Li Yuejin quickly stepped forward and extended his hand to shake hands with Ye Wenxi.

Ye Wenxi maintained a polite smile and naturally extended her hand in response.

"Director Li, you can just call me Xiao Ye, no need to be so polite."

Two more people walked up behind Li Yuejin. One of them was wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit and glasses. He had a refined and scholarly air about him.

Another person was dressed in a crisp gray cadre uniform and carrying a briefcase; he was clearly someone from an office.

The two men stood on either side of Li Yuejin.

"Come, come, Comrade Xiao Ye."

Li Yuejin stepped aside and introduced the man with a smile.

Let me introduce it to you.

Ye Wenxi turned to look at the two men, who were both quite old.

She had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

They are probably the two groups of people Li Yuejin mentioned last time.

Art academies and government agencies.

"This is Professor Wang Mingyuan, the vice president of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts."

"This is Chen Jianguo, the deputy director of the Municipal Light Industry Bureau."

Ye Wenxi's vision went black...

She quickly adjusted her expression, extended her hand, and smiled politely yet warmly.

"Dean Zhou, Director Chen, it's an honor to meet you!"

"This is so unexpected. I didn't prepare anything. How rude of me!"

She smiled and glanced at Li Yuejin.

Li Yuejin understood, but he was pointing it out to him.

But Li Yuejin had already gone all out, disregarding all pride.

He knew that if he told Ye Wenxi, he would bring people from both sides with him.

Ye Wenxi will definitely refuse.

But Li Yuejin is now in a precarious situation, like a mule on a hot tin roof.

He practically gambled this time.

They bet Ye Wenxi will be interested in their plan, thus offsetting the offense caused by their reckless behavior.

Deputy Director Chen spoke with a smile:

"We are eager to find talented people and have always wanted to get to know you."

Ye Wenxi exchanged polite greetings with the two of them and chatted briefly.

Then I led them to the guard post, showed them their identification, and registered them one by one.

Li Yuejin quickly gestured for Ye Wenxi to get into the car:

"Come on, get in the car."

He made a point of giving the passenger seat to Ye Wenxi.

Ye Wenxi wasn't in a hurry to go; she felt a bit of a headache.

It's fine if it's just Li Yuejin and himself going to the cafeteria, but with so many people... going to the cafeteria to eat is too conspicuous.

Li Yuejin seemed to sense her hesitation.

"Comrade Xiao Ye, nothing else matters, as long as we have a place to talk."

Ye Wenxi thought to herself: I also want to find a place...

Where to go?

Ye Wenxi's mind raced, and suddenly a place came to mind.

"Wait a moment, Director Li, I'm going to make a phone call."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Wenxi returned to the guard post, dialed Lu Weidong's number, and briefly explained the situation to him.

"Go and prepare some food for me, enough for seven or eight people, then come to the warehouse."

Fortunately, it was lunchtime, so Lu Weidong put down the phone and went outside.

This was the only place Ye Wenxi could think of that she was qualified to arrange.

Fortunately, the venue is now equipped with tables and chairs, as well as a heater.

Although... it's a bit shabby.

After all, Li Yuejin also said that they are not picky about the location.

Ye Wenxi returned to the car and directed the driver to head towards the warehouse.

This group of people had never been inside a military compound before. They looked around curiously along the way, and as they looked, they realized something was wrong.

Why did you drive into a vegetable garden?

"Okay, this is it."

Ye Wenxi had the driver stop the car at the warehouse entrance. She quickly stepped forward, unlocked the door, pushed open the worn iron gate, and then smiled at everyone, saying:

"This is the venue for the clothing company. It's still under preparation and is a bit rudimentary."

"Please come in, everyone."

The crowd stared at the iron gate, then at the vast, empty space inside, exchanging bewildered glances, their faces filled with astonishment.

Why turn such a large warehouse into a clothing company?

Previously, Li Yuejin thought that Ye Wenxi at most had a small workshop or something.

Unexpectedly, this woman gave him another shock.

As everyone filed in, Ye Wenxi pointed to a reception area she had prepared in advance.

Please make yourselves at home.

The reception area was decorated with great care; although simple, it showed thoughtfulness in every detail.

The entire area is roughly square, consisting of three parts: one large and two small.

On the right is a long table that can seat more than ten people.

It can be used as a dining table when eating and as a conference table when discussing business; it serves two purposes in one.

On the table were a tea canister, an enamel mug, and a thermos.

Two negotiation areas were set up on the left side of the long table.

One round table with four chairs, two sets in total.

The chairs and tables were wooden chairs and tables moved from the logistics department; the mortise and tenon joints were still sturdy.

Ye Wenxi covered each table with a dark gray-blue checkered tablecloth, which was dirt-resistant and matched the warehouse's cement floor and iron door.

It doesn't feel like a formal meeting room; it feels more like a place where you can sit down and have a proper chat.

The atmosphere in the whole space is relaxed and unpretentious.

There was a small blackboard standing in the corner, with chalk next to it.

Ye Wenxi plans to use it for meetings and work briefings for the helpers in the future. Otherwise, it will stand against the wall, resembling a studio.

The entire area stands in stark contrast to the empty and desolate atmosphere of the rest of the warehouse.

This is the place where Ye Wenxi was able to replicate a modern corporate reception area and meeting room to the greatest extent possible under the existing conditions.

"Comrade Xiao Ye..." Li Yuejin looked around, his tone filled with undisguised surprise.

"Your ready-to-wear company is quite novel."

There was no sewing machine, no clothes hangers, but this place for drinking tea and chatting was set up first.

"Please make yourselves at home. Wait a moment while I start the stove."

"Currently, my place is still in the preparatory stage, and many infrastructure facilities are lacking. We need to use stoves for heating."

While giving instructions, Ye Wenxi quickly lit the stove.

"Comrade Ye, we're here to help you."

Several savvy individuals immediately took on the job.

On the firewood rack, a match is struck and lit, the flames licking the wood and crackling.

She added two pieces of coal, put the lid on the stove, and the heat slowly dissipated.

"Director Li, I've already asked my wife to bring the food over. Please bear with us and just eat whatever you like here."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to trouble Chief of Staff Lu with this."

Li Yuejin was indeed a little embarrassed, as he could see that this hasty visit had caused trouble for Ye Wenxi.

"It's alright, he'll be here soon, everyone please wait a moment."

Fortunately, these people didn't just sit idly by.

He looked left and right, wandering around the warehouse.

The vice dean, Wang, picked up a sample, examined it for a long time, and suddenly spoke:

"Comrade Xiao Ye, did you design this yourself?"

"Yes, I designed it."

Vice Dean Wang nodded, a glint of light in his eyes.

"That's great. May I take a look at some other samples?"

"Of course, these are all for sale, feel free to look around."

He didn't say anything more and began to study the clever details in Ye Wenxi's design.

Not long after, Ye Wenxi heard the sound of a jeep at the gate.

The heavy door was pulled open, and Lu Weidong walked in carrying two thermos flasks in one hand and a bulging lunch bag in the other.

Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly went to meet him. She took the thermos and looked at him with a smile.

"You even brought hot water? How thoughtful of you."

With her back to everyone, she quietly blew him a kiss.

(￣3￣)づ╭～❤

Lu Weidong was so amused by this unexpected remark that he lowered his head, trying to suppress his barely suppressed laughter.
