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

Before returning from Harbin, Ye Wenxi went to the department store and met with Zhang Weimin, the head of the business department.

She hosted a meal for Zhang Weimin and several staff members from the business department.

Because whether it's fighting GG, getting fabric, or setting up a stall in the department store in the future, we'll need to deal with them.

Zhang Weimin's attitude was still very positive.

After all, it's a company that cooperates with the military region, and Section Chief Chen had given special instructions beforehand.

When it came to setting up a stall, both of them only touched on the topic briefly and didn't go into too much detail, since there was no exception for individuals selling goods in department stores.

Ye Wenxi wasn't in a hurry; she believed in simmering slowly and taking her time.

She then hitched a ride with the logistics department and returned to the military region early.

Ye Wenxi was in a good mood on the last day of the exercise.

Lu Weidong will be back soon.

That afternoon, Ye Wenxi took the selected photos of GG to the publicity department.

She had previously contacted Wei Changzheng, wanting to borrow the propaganda department's equipment and resources to print some posters, and was willing to pay market price.

But Wei Changzheng laughed and brushed it off:

"Xiao Ye, your company is a military-civilian joint venture. I can make the decisions directly regarding the shared resources."

"Besides, if we make you pay for this, shouldn't we also pay you for consulting services related to the design of the exercise medals?"

Ye Wenxi smiled and agreed, then stopped being so polite.

Wei Changzheng said that the poster would be ready in two days at the latest.

She plans to hire another errand runner to deliver the goods to the department store and also send the signed contract to the food factory.

Next, you can wait for orders to come in like snowflakes.

That evening, Ye Wenxi sat alone at the dinner table, eating and thinking, her thoughts becoming more and more beautiful.

"A few words drifting down from the sky, that's no big deal~"

"Sunshine, rainbow, little white horse, la la la la la~~"

She held a newspaper in one hand and chopsticks in the other, putting food into her mouth while humming a tune by the Flower Band.

Thinking about her career taking off, her impending wealth, and her increasingly promising future, Ye Wenxi was so happy she almost blew snot out of her nose.

Just as she was putting food into her mouth with her chopsticks.

“Pah!”

"Hmm?" Ye Wenxi looked down.

Why did the vegetables fall?

No.

Ye Wenxi looked at the chopsticks in her hand and instantly felt a chill run down her spine.

It wasn't the food that fell.

It was a chopstick, which broke in her hand.

The food and the half-chopstick lay on the table.

The broken chopstick was still rolling slightly on the table due to inertia.

Ye Wenxi's hands remained in that position as she stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

Why did the chopsticks break out of nowhere?

She immediately thought of a folk saying she had heard...

Immediately afterwards, immense fear and palpitations enveloped her without warning.

Her first thought was Lu Weidong.

He practically lunged to his feet, his knee slamming into the table leg, causing the table to shake violently and the bowls and chopsticks to clatter.

Ignoring the pain, she reached for the phone.

But that hand was trembling uncontrollably.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, trying to suppress the immense fear.

Ring ring ring—!

The phone suddenly rang.

Ye Wenxi was startled by the sudden sound.

The ringing of the bell was like a death knell, one ring after another, and the louder it was, the deeper Ye Wenxi's fear became.

She wanted to answer, but she didn't dare.

Ye Wenxi reached out her hand, trembling, and picked up the phone.

"Feed?" Ye Wenxi asked softly, her voice trembling.

"young married woman."

Lu Weidong's familiar voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

That "wife" sound seemed to be the most pleasant and beautiful sound she had ever heard in her life.

She suddenly closed her eyes, her lips trembling.

Ye Wenxi let out a long breath.

"Wenxi?" Lu Weidong called out again.

"Wei Dong..." she called softly.

"What's wrong, Wenxi?" Lu Weidong noticed something was off about her voice.

"Are you alright?" Ye Wenxi asked anxiously.

Lu Weidong sighed softly. He knew that although Ye Wenxi had said so much before, she must have been silently bearing the pressure and worry.

A pang of pain shot through my heart, and my voice softened:

"I'm fine. I just wanted to call and let you know I should be home around midnight."

"I'm afraid that if you fall asleep and suddenly find someone in the house, you'll be startled."

"Heh... um, I understand." Ye Wenxi laughed, amused by this sudden turn of events.

"Wei Dong..." she called softly.

"Hmm?" Lu Weidong responded.

"I miss you so much. I want you to come back soon and hug me."

Ye Wenxi spoke softly, occasionally throwing in a coquettish gesture.

A mixture of sweetness and heartache welled up in Lu Weidong's heart at the same time.

"Me too. Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and I can hold you and sleep when I get home."

"Um."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wenxi felt completely drained and collapsed onto the sofa, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long while, he returned to normal and continued eating the pile of food that was already half cold.

-----------------

Chen Yuanchuan had previously contacted people in Yunnan.

If any situation arises with a military doctor named "Ding Jiahe", it is necessary to contact him in a timely manner.

He gave the other party two phone numbers: one for the office and one for home.

At this time, Chen Yuanchuan was still with the main force at the exercise site and had not withdrawn.

In Chen Yuanchuan's dark and gloomy office.

The black telephone sitting on the desk.

Suddenly... it rang...

...

Zhang Yunxia's family

Zhang Yunxia is studying a management process document that Ye Wenxi gave her.

This includes fabric verification after claiming and delivery. With more and more people involved, it's necessary to ensure that the materials are in perfect working order.

In the era of collective work and the "iron rice bowl" system, it was inevitable that there would be instances of "exploiting public resources."

Ye Wenxi did not want this kind of thing to happen in his company.

Therefore, she made strict regulations on the registration of each helper and the management of material inventory.

Ensure that responsibilities are assigned to specific individuals, materials are not lost, and accounts are clear.

Only by establishing strict rules from the very beginning can losses be minimized in future development.

Ring ring ring—!

The phone rang in the living room.

Zhang Yunxia put down the draft of the process in her hand, walked over and answered the phone.

"Feed? Who?"

I asked them over the phone.

"Yes, Chen Yuanchuan is not home."

"Tell me what's wrong."

Zhang Yunxia held the receiver between her ear and shoulder, speaking while taking out a piece of paper and a pen from a small cabinet next to her.

This was her habit; if someone looked for Lao Chen, she would make a note of it to avoid any mistakes.

Suddenly, her hand froze.

"Where did you say you were from?"

"We are the Communications Department of the Yunnan Military Region."

"I am now conveying to Division Commander Chen Yuanchuan the relevant information about a volunteer military doctor from the 39th Military Region."

Zhang Yunxia's breathing gradually became rapid.

She knew that Chen Yuanchuan had spoken to them and said:

"No news is good news."

Her hands trembled as she gripped the phone tightly and pressed the receiver to her ear.

"Seven days ago, Comrade Ding Jiahe was ordered to join the southern guerrilla detachment as a medical officer."

"This unit successfully completed multiple battlefield medical missions during its infiltration operations."

There was a slight pause on the other end, as if they were considering how to phrase their next words.

"However... news came yesterday that the unit was ambushed by the enemy while on a mission."

There was another pause.

"We have lost contact with the detachment and the fate of the personnel is unknown."

"The higher command has dispatched a search team to the area."

"us...."

Om-!

A loud ringing sound filled Zhang Yunxia's ears.

What did the person behind me say...?

She can't hear anymore.
