Chapter 118 Raise your hand if you support Cen Yan

Cen Yan learned on her first day in the family compound that there was an "alliance" among military wives called the Military Wives Alliance.

It's full of military spouses from various family compounds; they don't have any real power.

The main problem was that life with the soldiers was too dull and boring, so the wives would get together to chat, knit sweaters, and so on.

It's like a small group. As a senior military wife and the director of the Women's Federation, Wang Lijuan is naturally the leader of the entire military wives' alliance.

Now Wang Lijuan actually says she wants to hand over the leadership position to her? This is even more outrageous than reporter Chen asking her to represent all the military wives on Dongming Island in an interview.

"Madam, you've gone a bit too far with that joke. Everyone knows my qualifications perfectly well. Why should I arrange activities for the women?"

Cen Yan immediately passed on this hot potato. Organizing activities and coordinating the overall situation are not things that can be accomplished simply by being Qi's wife; there are many intricacies involved.

Wang Lijuan smiled and said, "I'm not joking. The Women's Federation has a lot of work to do on weekdays, and I can't take care of the Military Wives Alliance. Xiao Cen, everyone likes you and thinks you are straightforward, efficient, and handle things properly. How about this, let's vote to decide who supports Xiao Cen to be in charge of all matters of the Military Wives Alliance in the future. Please raise your hands."

As she spoke, Wang Lijuan was the first to raise her hand.

“I support her! Xiao Cen is capable, and her husband is a regimental commander. We are all willing to listen to her,” Aunt Tang chimed in.

The other wives chimed in, "We support you too, Xiao Cen, don't refuse. The Military Wives Alliance isn't asking you to do anything, it's just to organize us wives to get together and have some fun, to liven up the family compound."

Of course, if any of the military wives suffer injustice, Cen Yan has to organize people to seek justice together, which is what gives Cen Yan the biggest headache.

She doesn't like to meddle in other people's business at all, but now Wang Lijuan has put such a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she can't refuse it even if she wants to.

"Teacher's wife, ladies, I'm really too young to take on such a task. But since everyone supports me, how about this: Teacher's wife, you can mentor me more often, and once I'm fully proficient, I can take charge of the military spouses' alliance. I also need to analyze specific situations and see how to arrange the activities for the ladies, right?"

“No problem!” Wang Lijuan readily agreed.

Today she finally understood why Qi Jingchuan was so devoted to Cen Yan: it was because Cen Yan was a good person, not pretentious, and handled things beautifully!

However, Cen Yan is a good child in every way, except for her background... Oh well! Qi Jingchuan knows how to handle his family affairs, and besides, Old Lu has stopped talking about it. It's too petty for her, as his teacher's wife, to keep harping on this.

As for Wang Manman, that brat doesn't take her aunt seriously at all and loves to cause trouble. When I find an opportunity at the end of the year, I must send her back to Beijing as soon as possible to prevent her from muddying up the waters of Dongming Island.

When Sister Yu returned to the family compound, she heard everyone supporting Cen Yan and advocating for her to become the leader of the military wives' alliance. Her face turned pale and then purple in an instant, which was quite a sight!

"If I hadn't made such a scene, do you really think you'd have had the chance to be interviewed? I don't care if you agree or not, I'm telling you right now, I absolutely refuse to accept this arrangement of a military wives' alliance by certain newcomers!"

Aunt Yu did not suppress her voice, and everyone looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with Aunt Yu now.

The minority obeys the majority; everyone present supported Cen Yan, so whether she voted for her or not was completely unimportant.

One of the important reasons why Cen Yan didn't want to be the leader of the military wives' alliance was people like Sister-in-law Yu.

Once you become a so-called "leader" or initiator, you won't easily take action to make yourself feel better when you encounter people or things that make you unhappy.

Just as Cen Yan was considering whether to take over the stall, a white figure rode a bicycle through the rain, speeding towards the family compound and stopping in front of Cen Yan.

It's Mi Shan!

"Cen Yan, something's happened! Dean Huang wants us to return to the unit immediately!"
