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

On the day of the opening ceremony, Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong got up one after the other.

"Aha—" Ye Wenxi yawned widely.

"Isn't it supposed to start at eight? Sleep a little longer."

"Shouldn't we prepare in advance? With so many people coming and going, we need to make some arrangements."

"Besides, Deputy Commander Zhou is coming... Ah ha—"

Before he could finish speaking, he yawned again.

The two of them squeezed together in front of a mirror to wash up.

"I'll come help you after I finish my exercises."

Lu Weidong said to Ye Wenxi, who was brushing her teeth, while shaving.

"Come on, the military exercises are about to start. Don't think I don't know you're incredibly busy every day."

"Deputy Commander Zhou is here for a work exchange. What brings you here? A logistics assistant? A family representative?"

"It wouldn't be proper for someone to put their work aside to attend my opening ceremony. We're not going to make an exception."

Ye Wenxi's mouth was full of foam, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, even spraying several white spots onto the mirror.

Lu Weidong genuinely wanted to go and witness the historic moment in Ye Wenxi's career.

However, he does have a meeting, and if you want to attend, you have to cancel or reschedule.

"It's no big deal. You've always been there for me, haven't you?"

As Ye Wenxi spoke, she casually patted his butt twice.

Lu Weidong chuckled softly: "Okay, thank you for your support and understanding, Boss Ye."

"Ugh, that's so corny. From now on, call me General Manager Ye!"

"What about President Ye?" Lu Weidong turned to look at her.

"General manager."

"A full salute?" Lu Weidong frowned, looking puzzled.

Glug glug glug... Pfft—!

Ye Wenxi spat out a mouthful of water.

"You'd better get out of here!"

She put down her toothbrush, too lazy to explain.

Ye Wenxi loaded things into the small car that resembled a modern camping picnic vehicle.

Soft drinks, peanuts, melon seeds, fruit, pastries...

Most of it was sent by Li Yuejin, and some was leftovers from the Chinese New Year.

This car was made by Master Chen.

Ye Wenxi realized that Master Chen was truly capable. She had only briefly mentioned that she wanted a foldable delivery cart, and he immediately understood.

"Understood. A blended fabric frame with a wooden frame, I'll make you a foldable frame, this big one."

As he spoke, he used his hands to measure.

"We'll install a lever at the front, and that lever can move. Then we'll install six wheels underneath."

"no problem."

The next day, Master Chen brought the finished product to Ye Wenxi.

She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out. If it weren't for the material and workmanship, she would have really thought that Mr. Chen had traveled back in time and brought her a campervan.

Pity.

The current policies, regulations, and patents regarding intellectual property rights are still incomplete.

Otherwise, Ye Wenxi could earn a lot just from design fees and copyright fees.

However, in her recollection, the country only began to pay attention to drafting laws in this area after the 1990s. Moreover, the effectiveness and protection of rights during the initial few years of trial implementation were negligible.

This is Ye Wenxi's biggest headache.

Because her clothing and her designs are far ahead of their time. The resulting profits and economic value will inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Imitation and plagiarism are inevitable experiences.

Without legal support and protection, her small workshop-style business will eventually have to face this harsh reality.

All she can do is ensure that her speed and innovation are always at the forefront.

Fortunately, we don't have advanced media now, and the speed of information dissemination is far slower than that of modern networks.

Snow was falling outside the window, and small groups of people gradually appeared on the path leading to the venue.

Some were carrying things, some were walking in groups, their footprints leaving a trail of varying depths in the snow.

These people were all heading to the venue to watch the opening ceremony of the clothing company.

Most of them were military dependents related to the garment company, while some were military dependents who came just to join in the fun.

"It's veering off course! A little more to the right!"

Lu Weihua is directing Lu Xiaojun to hang the plaque.

The roar of vehicles could be heard in the distance, and several jeeps drove up.

Ye Wenxi panicked: "Hurry! Deputy Commander Zhou is here!"

"Alright, alright!" Lu Xiaojun pulled the red cloth off the signboard and jumped down from the ladder.

Several jeeps pulled up one after another in front of the garment store, and a group of people got out one after another.

Ye Wenxi shook hands and greeted each of the leaders.

"Comrade Xiao Ye, I even canceled an important meeting to attend your opening ceremony."

Deputy Commander Zhou smiled, his tone serious.

The two exchanged polite words as they walked.

Gradually, the crowd gathered; it was time.

"Wenxi, it's time. Let's begin."

A large red silk cloth hung horizontally on the signboard, and large red flowers surrounded the entrance of the garment shop.

Ye Wenxi stood under the plaque and took a deep breath.

"Distinguished leaders, comrades."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was steady.

"Today, Wenxi Clothing Store officially opened for business."

"This sign doesn't just belong to me. It's something that everyone in our military dependents' area has supported together."

"From now on, those with skills can come here to earn money, those with needs can come here to customize, and those with ideas can come here to discuss them."

"We don't care about how big it is, we just want to live a good life by our own hands."

applause.

Deputy Commander Zhou stepped forward and, together with Ye Wenxi, grasped the scissors.

"Click" —

The scissors and the shutter clicked simultaneously, and the red silk fell.

Several large characters, white on a black background, were fully revealed.

[Wenxi Garment Factory - A Demonstration Project of Military-Civilian Cooperation in the 39th Military Region]

Ye Wenxi entertained the leaders who arrived for a while, then led them on a tour of the site, explaining the layout and functions as they walked.

The leaders were very accommodating, selecting some styles on the spot and ordering several pieces of clothing to support Ye Wenxi's business.

"Sister Yunxia, ​​could you take Zhou's measurements?"

"Aunt Li, could you take Mr. Chen's measurements?"

……

The lively atmosphere lasted until nearly noon before the crowd gradually dispersed and the place slowly quieted down.

Ye Wenxi and the technicians sat around the table in the conference room, eating their staff meal together.

"Ahem, is anyone there?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out at the door.

"Here you are."

Ye Wenxi put down her chopsticks and walked out.

She ran all the way to the door and saw Zhou Xuchen standing there.

"Director Zhou?" Ye Wenxi was surprised by the visitor.

"What brings Director Zhou here?"

"Hehe." Zhou Xuchen smiled faintly.

"I heard you opened your shop, and I'd like to order some clothes from you."

"Oh, please come in! Let me introduce myself."

She turned her head and called out inside:

"Weihua, bring me the thermos and pour me a glass of water!"

Lu Weihua was enjoying his meal and was too lazy to move, so he kicked Lu Xiaojun to make him run an errand.

As Lu Xiaojun walked out carrying the thermos, he saw the two talking.

"What kind of clothes would you like to order, Director Zhou? I can recommend a few fabrics to you."

"Um... I'd like to keep a low profile, like wearing a coat or jacket as usual."

"How about this one?"

Ye Wenxi picked up a coat, unfolded it, and showed it to him.

"If you don't like anything here, I can design one for you according to your style."

Zhou Xuchen was a little embarrassed, his expression showing a hint of nervousness and a hidden expectation.

"Then I'll do as you say. Do whatever you want, I'll accept it all."

Zhou Xuchen smiled, his tone slightly shy.

Lu Xiaojun poured two glasses of water and placed them on the small round table.

See everything.

He carried the thermos back and whispered something in Lu Weihua's ear as Lu Weihua was still engrossed in showing off.

Lu Weihua suddenly raised his head:

"Does he wear glasses? Does he look quite refined?"

Lu Xiaojun's eyes widened: "You've seen it before?"

They both squinted and smiled at each other.

"Hehehehe..."
