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

Zhang Yunxia helped Ye Wenxi organize the crowd and leaned over to whisper:

"If you fancy one, just give me a look."

"I'll handle the rest that are difficult to say."

Ye Wenxi understood that Zhang Yunxia was trying to shield her from criticism.

Many of the children here genuinely want to be little models, even if it's just to receive gifts.

Whether you choose someone or not, someone will always be disappointed.

Zhang Yunxia was well-liked and her words carried weight in the compound.

Some things are more appropriate to be said by her than by Ye Wenxi.

The crowd had already formed three lines on their own:

3-6岁，7-9岁，10-12岁。

Children in Northeast China grow tall quickly.

For those who are a little older, they can wear adult sizes directly.

Ye Wenxi stood at the edge of the flower bed.

You can scan all the children in line at a glance.

There's really no need to overthink the selection of models.

Often, you can tell what it is just by looking at it for the first time.

Nowadays, children all wear pretty much the same clothes.

They were all wearing cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and the colors were plain.

Just pick the most eye-catching one here.

Ye Wenxi stood by the flower bed, craning her neck to look at the crowd in line.

Watch your step.

Lu Weidong walked to the bottom of the flower bed and followed her steps, with one hand outstretched in case she missed a step.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunxia couldn't help but joke:

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's why some people are just annoying."

"Look at our Battalion Commander Lu, he dotes on his wife so much, his eyes are practically glued to her."

"The young couple is so loving, and yet some people still have the audacity to try and get close to them."

Several women and wives who were watching nearby also laughed:

"Absolutely, I'm embarrassed for them."

"Well, what can we do? Our Battalion Commander Lu is just too popular."

...

Ye Wenxi walked over to Zhang Yunxia and whispered a few words to her.

"Sister-in-law, I've made my choice."

Zhang Yunxia turned her head: "Which ones? I'll call them out for you."

"Sister-in-law, no need."

"I've come up with a way to make everyone happy and no one will complain."

She whispered a few words in Zhang Yunxia's ear.

"Will this work? What if the chosen candidates aren't suitable?"

"rest assured!"

"Alright, I'll arrange it for you."

Zhang Yunxia stood by the flower bed and cleared her throat:

"Let's start with the first group—the 3- to 5-year-old group!"

"Come on, children, form a circle, face inwards, so everyone can see the others."

Lu Weidong turned his head and asked with a smile, "What do you want them to do?"

Ye Wenxi smiled and said, "It would be too offensive for me to name names directly."

"Who doesn't think their own child is the cutest? No matter who I choose or don't choose, someone will be unhappy."

"That's why I'm not choosing it."

"Let them help me choose, then I'll make the final decision."

Lu Weidong chuckled softly. This girl really has a lot of clever ideas.

Looking at her confident expression and sparkling eyes, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He couldn't resist pulling her close and quickly kissing her on the forehead.

Ye Wenxi responded with a light tap:

"Ugh! So many people, be mindful of your behavior!"

Ye Wenxi himself didn't care.

But this is a military compound, and it's the era she's in; she has to think more about Lu Weidong.

After the children were all lined up, Ye Wenxi faced the crowd and spoke in a clear voice:

"I'm afraid my judgment might be biased, and I might miss out on the truly suitable ones."

"So I'd like to ask everyone to help me choose."

Everyone was stunned when he said that.

How can they choose? They don't know either.

My requirements are very simple.

"I don't look at the clothes or the hairstyle, I only look at whether the figure is well-proportioned and the height is suitable."

"If it looks energetic and smooth at first glance, that's fine!"

Many people laughed.

He thought to himself that it must refer to his own child.

How can you possibly choose that?

As a result, Ye Wenxi's next sentence completely blocked the way:

"But there's a condition!"

"You can't choose your own child."

"I'll count down five seconds. After five seconds, everyone point to your choice."

"5....4...."

The crowd was still a little stunned, but their eyes had already subconsciously scanned all the children.

"3...2....1!"

The last number was displayed.

Many people haven't figured it out yet.

My finger instinctively pointed to the child who stood out at first glance.

"Don't put your hands down yet!"

Ye Wenxi looked at the result and smiled.

There was a girl whom almost half the people pointed to.

Her mother stood to the side, her smile impossible to hide.

Ye Wenxi walked up to the fair-skinned little girl, bent down, and asked softly:

"Little one, what's your name?"

"Auntie, my name is Fangfang."

"Fangfang, would you like to be Auntie's little model?"

"Oh! Mom, I'm a model!!"

Fangfang jumped for joy, her little braids swinging back and forth.

Zhang Yunxia clapped her hands toward the crowd:

"As everyone can see, this child was chosen by us together."

"The results for this group are finalized!"

"The rest of the parents, come here, let's give the children gifts."

"Yay! There's a present!"

The children cheered and rushed forward.

Lu Weidong and Zhang Yunxia helped distribute gifts to the other children.

Ye Wenxi then used the same method to select the other two groups.

At this time, the bulletin board next to the school became the liveliest place in the entire residential compound.

Whether they had children or not, everyone came over to watch the spectacle.

"Big sister, what are you doing?"

A woman waiting to receive a gift heard someone ask a question, turned around and saw:

"Oh, Dr. Ding!"

"Someone in our compound has opened a clothing store, and they're selecting models for their clothes here today!"

The person asking the question immediately brightened up:

"A ready-to-wear clothing company? They even select models?"

"Yes, look at that notice, it's posted right there."

Ding Jiahe quickly went over to take a look.

She felt a surge of joy upon seeing the notice.

Does that mean she'll be able to buy clothes as nice as those in magazines in the future?

I wonder if they recruit adult models.

Ding Jiahe has always liked fashionable things and new experiences.

This is the first time I've encountered such a trendy activity in this somewhat monotonous and dull courtyard.

Her mood instantly brightened.

I couldn't wait to go up and ask around.

She squeezed through the crowd and immediately spotted someone familiar.

"Comrade Xiao Ye?"

Ye Wenxi was talking to several parents of child models.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and paused for a moment.

"Dr. Ding," she greeted with a smile.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm just here, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Ding Jiahe waved his hand, his tone quite polite.

"Okay, then wait for me a moment."

"OK!"

Ding Jiahe walked around to the side with her hands behind her back.

He wandered over to the other side of the crowd, craning his neck to see what everyone had received.

As soon as I got closer, I bumped into a familiar face.

I ran into Lu Weidong again.

She turned around and tried to slip away.

"Huh?! Dr. Ding!"

Zhang Yunxia, ​​with her sharp eyes, immediately called out to her.

"Sister Zhang? You're here too?"

Lu Weidong looked over upon hearing the sound, his gaze turning indifferent.

"Wait a minute, Dr. Ding, don't go," Zhang Yunxia said with a smile.

"Come on, lend a hand to your sister-in-law, we're almost overwhelmed with work here."

Ding Jiahe glanced at Lu Weidong, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lu Weidong turned and walked away: "I'm going to help Wenxi."

Zhang Yunxia ignored him and, smiling, pulled Ding Jiahe aside:

"Never mind him, just help your sister-in-law."

"I'll get you some candy in a bit!"

She hadn't forgotten the important task she had taken on before:

That kid Wang Hao is still waiting for her to play matchmaker.

The two texted and chatted at the same time.

"Dr. Ding, you want to be a model?!" Zhang Yunxia was secretly delighted when she heard this.

Isn't this the opportunity that's presented itself?

"I'm not a model... I just... wanted to try on some new clothes."

"If they look good... I'd like to order some."

Ding Jiahe blushed slightly when asked the question.

She was, after all, a military doctor.

But she always longed for the new fashions in magazines and pictorials.

But then she thought about it again and felt more at ease.

As Comrade Ye once said: The pursuit of beauty is everyone's right.

"No problem! I'll take care of this, sister-in-law!"

"Huh? Really?" Ding Jiahe was somewhat incredulous.

Zhang Yunxia took on the task herself.

Her thinking was simple: Dr. Ding was good-looking and had good character.

They just wanted to try on new clothes and look pretty.

Why can't we agree to that?

Moreover, in this way...

Wouldn't that give Ding Jiahe a reason to visit them more often?

Ye Wenxi was completely unaware of this at the time.

This is Ding Jiahe, the female lead in the original novel.

Surprisingly, her business partner took her in.

She became her future amateur model.
