Chapter 264 How much do you know about Director Zhou Xuchen?

After dinner, Ye Wenxi went straight to Lu Weihua's room and locked the door.

"Confess!"

"How did you meet? What stage are you at now? Are you officially dating?" Ye Wenxi pressed, a mischievous grin on her face.

Lu Weihua turned his head away, buried his head in the blanket, and pretended to be dead, not saying a word.

Ye Wenxi reached out and shook her up: "No way? It's already come to that?"

She didn't believe Lu Weihua couldn't understand.

Lu Weihua screamed and pushed Ye Wenxi away, feeling both ashamed and angry.

"What?! We've only held hands once!" Lu Weihua's muffled voice came from under the covers.

"Keep talking~ Hey, stop lying down! You're usually so powerful, what happened now?" Ye Wenxi slapped her upturned butt hard.

Lu Weihua sat up abruptly, his face flushed, and cleared his throat.

"Yeah... I remember posting your promotional poster before. Once, the student council was trying to stop me from posting it, and he helped me out."

"Later...that's how we got to know each other."

Lu Weihua briefly recounted how the two of them got to know each other.

That person's name was Du Yi, and he was a classmate in the same department.

He wasn't particularly good-looking, but he was clean and tidy, and spoke in a friendly manner.

Since they met, Du Yi has often helped her, such as saving her a seat, occasionally getting her food, bringing her clothes when it gets cold, and even remembering things she casually mentioned and then taking care of them.

"Hey? Has he designed the clothes?" Lu Weihua asked eagerly.

Ye Wenxi glanced at her sideways: "It's all done. I'll start working on it when we get back."

"Then hurry up! His birthday is coming up, and I'm planning to give him this as a birthday present," Lu Weihua said happily.

"Lu Weihua, this isn't your first love, is it?" Ye Wenxi stared wide-eyed at her infatuated expression.

"Mmm..." Lu Weihua responded softly, then buried his face in the blanket again.

"Don't forget what your second sister-in-law told you before." Ye Wenxi patted her shoulder.

"What?" Lu Weihua was completely bewildered.

Ye Wenxi: "..."

"We can yearn for love, but we must not lose ourselves in it."

"I see you're getting a little carried away right now, just wanted to remind you."

Lu Weihua paused for a moment, then scoffed, "I know, I know, I'm not stupid."

Ye Wenxi looked at her with that "I'm love-struck but I'll never admit it" expression and didn't say anything more.

According to Lu Weihua, that kid named Du Yi was quite proactive in pursuing Weihua, and he was also very considerate and enthusiastic at school.

But from an outsider's perspective, given Ye Wenxi's personality, she would instinctively think that things are "not so simple."

She is, after all, the commander's daughter; her status speaks for itself.

Besides, Lu Weihua is now "financially well-off" thanks to Ye Wenxi's "support," a stark contrast to Lu Zhenghua's previous "poor upbringing."

There are some things she needs to consider for Wei Hua.

"I'm in Harbin for the next few days. Would you like to have a meal together and meet up?" Ye Wenxi asked tentatively.

"Huh? So this is a parent?" Lu Weihua blurted out in a moment of madness.

"You're the parent here!" Ye Wenxi slapped her angrily. "How old am I to be your parent?"

"Then I'll ask him and see if he's willing," Lu Weihua said softly.

"OK!"

Ye Wenxi glanced at her watch; there should still be people at the clothing company.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go."

She came out of Lu Weihua's room and called out from the stairwell:

"Dad, I'm going to the study to make a phone call!"

"Okay, go ahead and call!" Lu Zhenghua, who was chatting with his two sons downstairs, responded loudly.

Lu Zhenghua turned his head, his tone filled with barely concealed amusement:

"It seems like Wenxi's clothing company is doing quite well."

"Hmm." Lu Weidong nodded, his tone flat, but he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

"Since the GG logo was posted in the department store, orders have surged. She's also busy these days with exchanges and sharing with the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts and the Light Industry Bureau; she's finding it difficult to manage everything on her own."

"Hey...who would have thought that our Lu family's daughters-in-law would be so capable?" Lu Zhenghua said with a smile.

After half an hour.

In the living room, several people were chatting and laughing.

No one noticed that Ye Wenxi walked out of the study with a low mood and her brows furrowed.

Back in her room, she leaned against the headboard, hugging her shoulders, her mind racing.

It has finally begun.

I thought that since this company was a joint military-civilian enterprise, those people would be more restrained and those speculators wouldn't be too rampant.

However, Sun Xiaolan told her that recently there have been more than a dozen so-called "returned" packages, and the sender addresses were written vaguely, making it impossible to tell whether they were from the same batch or different ones.

Ye Wenxi's reply to them was: Don't do anything for now. Since the other party didn't leave contact information or a specific address, just leave it for now and let it cool down.

Sun Xiaolan asked whether they should report it to the police and find these people.

Ye Wenxi doesn't plan to do that for the time being.

It's not that we don't want to catch them, it's that catching them would be pointless.

Even if we find this group of people, there will be another group later.

Malicious refunds, freeloading, and plagiarism—these are things that no law can regulate in this era; arresting a few people is simply not enough to stop them.

She doesn't have the energy to waste time with "people".

What she needs to do is not to "find the bad guys," but to establish a set of protective rules so that bad guys cannot exploit loopholes.

When Lu Weidong returned to the room, he saw Ye Wenxi leaning against the headboard, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he walked over.

Ye Wenxi explained the situation to him.

Lu Weidong frowned: "Find the person, I'll help you."

Ye Wenxi shook his head: "They're not worth our time right now. Even if we find them, there will be another batch."

"So what do you want to do?"

Ye Wenxi frowned: "I need to build myself a city wall!"

Thinking of this, Ye Wenxi immediately got out of bed, went straight to the desk, and took out a large sheet of drawing paper.

Lu Weidong leaned closer and watched Ye Wenxi draw strange things on a large sheet of paper.

Like an octopus, it keeps extending more tentacles from a passage, densely packed.

This is a mind map.

Ye Wenxi used a divergent approach to continuously search for potential loopholes and risks in the area.

Lu Weidong didn't disturb her. He just leaned against the headboard and watched her serious expression. She looked like a general strategizing, her focused expression and furrowed brows suggesting she was fighting on a battlefield where no smoke could be seen.

"You go to sleep first. I need to sort things out today." Ye Wenxi didn't even look up, her pen scratching across the paper.

Lu Weidong didn't reply for a long time, just staring at her back as she hunched over her desk, his eyes almost glazed over.

Ye Wenxi noticed his gaze, raised her head, and turned to meet his direct eyes.

She slammed down her pen, jumped up, ran quickly to Lu Weidong, hugged his neck, and gave him a big kiss.

Then she quickly ran back to the table, picked up a pen to continue organizing her thoughts, but just before she bent down to sit down, she turned her head and gave Lu Weidong a series of "kissing sounds."

Lu Weidong paused for a second, then lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Wenxi leaned back over the table, his pen pausing.

She had some ready-made ideas and experiences in mind, such as: proof of ownership of knowledge, boundaries of rights, and protection of achievements.

But she couldn't just copy it directly. That was something from the 21st century; if she just transplanted it, it wouldn't be suitable for the local conditions, and it might even cause trouble.

She needs someone knowledgeable to talk to.

This person needs to understand the rules of this era and be able to "translate" these ideas into something usable.

This person needs to deal with "knowledge" and understand what the boundaries of knowledge and knowledge protection are.

Suddenly, a person popped into her mind.

"By the way, how much do you know about Director Zhou Xuchen?" Ye Wenxi asked suddenly, her head lowered.

"Huh?" Lu Weidong was taken aback by the abrupt question.

"In which aspect?"

"What exactly is his workplace? What are his responsibilities, and what are his strengths?"

"You...you want to ask him for help?" Lu Weidong realized what was going on.

"Yes! Let's exchange ideas." Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up.
