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

Ye Wenxi was at her desk flipping through the interview summary Zhang Yunxia had given her.

Although it's called a summary, it's actually just some thoughts, performances, and skills of the interviewees recently.

They are currently looking for a cleaning lady who can also cook lunch.

When the message was posted on the mutual aid community, sure enough, it attracted more than a dozen applicants in a short period of time.

Ye Wenxi was worried that the workload of interviewing would be too heavy, so the job posting was taken down after only one day.

The aunties who are hired will be selected from these dozen or so people.

Zhang Yunxia had a brief chat, but since she already knew some of them well, they didn't talk for very long.

Some were newlywed wives who had just joined the army and had heard of Ye Wenxi's clothing company, and were eager to join.

Following Ye Wenxi's advice and requirements, she initially selected five people.

What Ye Wenxi was looking at was the interview summary of these five people.

Feng Lianhua, 55 years old; Wang Yingxue, 21 years old; Zhang Chunfang, 48 years old...

As Ye Wenxi was flipping through the pages, she suddenly saw a name and a note next to it, and Ye Wenxi smiled.

Lang Yuqin (Sun Xiaolan's mother-in-law).

Isn't this the mother-in-law who stopped Xiaolan from making money and said that her career wasn't the right thing to do?

Why, do you still want to go out and "make a name for yourself"?

Ye Wenxi studied the strengths and weaknesses of these five people.

Lang Yuqin is indeed quite capable for managing to stay with Zhang Yunxia.

She had actually worked as a chef in the kitchen of a state-run restaurant, and it is said that she was an expert in authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine.

But this was not the focus of Ye Wenxi's investigation.

Being a good cook might only account for 30% of her evaluation; she pays more attention to a person's character, sense of responsibility, and hygiene habits.

Even the malleability of ideas.

Ye Wenxi glanced at the time; it was past nine o'clock. Zhang Yunxia should still be awake.

I thought I'd chat a bit more to get more details.

So I picked up the phone and dialed.

"Beep—beep—"

The phone rang many times before it was answered.

"Hey, Sister Yunxia, ​​are you asleep yet?"

"I'd like to ask you more about those candidates, to learn more about them."

Ye Wenxi said as usual.

There was no answer on the other end of the phone.

"Feed? Sister Yunxia?" Ye Wenxi glanced at the receiver.

"Hey? Can you hear me?"

"Little Ye..."

If she hadn't dialed the number herself, she wouldn't have believed that the voice on the other end of the line was Zhang Yunxia's.

The three short words were uttered with a heavy nasal tone and an uncontrollable hoarseness.

It sounded as if he had just experienced a heart-wrenching cry, a sound that had exhausted all his strength.

"boom--!"

It was as if something exploded in Ye Wenxi's mind, and the hairs on her body stood on end instantly!

She stood there frozen for a few seconds, staring blankly ahead.

"Sister Yunxia..."

"Has something happened to Jiahe?"

Ye Wenxi guessed it...

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

The exercise camp began to disband, and the officers and soldiers boarded the vehicles one by one. Tents were packed up one by one, leaving messy footprints on the snow.

Lu Weidong was packing his things in his tent, folding his military uniform and stuffing it into his bag, and rolling up his map and putting it into a tube.

He moved quickly, eager to get back.

Chen Yuanchuan lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Commander!" Lu Weidong stood at attention and saluted.

"Okay, have a seat first. I need to talk to you about something." Chen Yuanchuan waved his hand, his expression somewhat serious.

Lu Weidong put down what he was holding, sat down, and frowned slightly. He had a premonition that Chen Yuanchuan had brought bad news.

"I just called your sister-in-law and told her she can go back today."

Lu Weidong didn't speak, but just looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Your sister-in-law..." Chen Yuanchuan paused, his voice lowering, "...cried so hard she almost stopped breathing."

He sighed heavily.

Lu Weidong frowned even more deeply, and his heart suddenly clenched.

"I left two phone numbers just in case, in case they couldn't contact us. I never expected that, by sheer bad luck, they called our home from Yunnan just now."

Chen Yuanchuan looked up at him.

"Ding Jiahe was engaged in guerrilla warfare with his team when they were ambushed, and the entire team lost contact."

"Currently...their whereabouts are unknown."

Lu Weidong's face darkened instantly, and his fingers unconsciously clenched his knees.

He instantly pictured the reactions of several people upon hearing the news.

What will Ye Wenxi be like?

And then there's Wang Hao.

Chen Yuanchuan seemed to have not finished speaking, his voice deepening further: "Then, Wenxi happened to call your sister-in-law."

Lu Weidong stood up abruptly, causing his chair to tip backward.

"Tsk." Chen Yuanchuan frowned and gestured with his hand, "Even if you're in a hurry now, can you still fly?"

"I'm just telling you in advance so you can prepare."

"You're in the same car as me, let's head back now. Let's go!"

Without even thinking, Lu Weidong picked up his packed belongings and followed them out.

Outside the tent, the team that was withdrawing was still busy, and people were running past them carrying supplies.

After taking a few steps, Lu Weidong suddenly stopped.

"Commander," he called out to Chen Yuanchuan.

"Hmm?" Chen Yuanchuan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Wang Hao, he..."

Lu Weidong recounted what happened that night, including Wang Hao's words under the starry sky: "If something happens to Xiao Ding, he has to do something."

There was also that report requesting to join the fight, and the things I had been secretly keeping an eye on for him all this time.

"Currently, due to the extended battle lines, a mission has been issued to supplement troops to be responsible for personnel search and frontline support on the Yunnan border."

"Because this support mission lasts for a long time and the required reinforcements are scattered, a call for reinforcements has been issued nationwide."

Lu Weidong raised his head and looked at Chen Yuanchuan:

"I would like to ask you for permission to let Wang Hao join the team."

Chen Yuanchuan remained silent, his brows furrowed, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, he abruptly looked up, his tone crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation: "Granted!"

Lu Weidong was taken aback, not expecting Chen Yuanchuan to agree so readily.

"In special wartime circumstances, the procedures will be completed later," Chen Yuanchuan said solemnly.

"Go find Wang Hao now and tell him to pack his things immediately and meet at the transport convoy on the west side of the camp in ten minutes. I'll have someone arrange for him to be directly incorporated into the replenishment force and depart for the Yunnan border tonight!"

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you," Chen Yuanchuan said, raising his hand in greeting.

"Yes! Thank you, sir!"

Lu Weidong felt a surge of warmth in his heart, gave a crisp military salute, and turned to run deeper into the camp.

Lu Weidong ran all the way to Wang Hao's camp, asked around, and finally found him.

Wang Hao was leading a few people to check the equipment when he heard footsteps and turned around.

"Come with me."

Lu Weidong grabbed Wang Hao and led him through the bustling crowd to a quiet corner.

The moment Wang Hao saw Lu Weidong's expression, his heart sank.

"Chief of Staff, is there news from Yunnan?" Wang Hao frowned, his eyes filled with unease.

"Yes. Xiao Ding has gone missing." Lu Weidong didn't waste any words.

"boom--!"

Wang Hao's mind was struck as if by a thunderbolt.

He froze on the spot, his eyes instantly becoming bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white. His arms trembled uncontrollably from the excessive force.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Lu Weidong didn't speak. He took out a transfer order approval form from his pocket, then took out a pen and quickly added something to it.

"I've inquired for you; this is the only recruitment mission currently available. It's for searching and replenishing frontline combat forces."

"If you're going, just sign here."
