As soon as Michaela signed the reconstruction plan, Bernard immediately handed over a white paper as thick as a dictionary.
"This is an industrial recovery plan."
Sir Humphrey smiled, looked at Michaela, and said slowly: "I also drafted the document."
Michaela looked at the white paper in front of her, then turned to look at the pile of white papers that had not yet been signed, and asked Humphrey:
"You drafted it all?"
Lord Haverley nodded and said "humbly": "I'm just a creaking old bureaucratic machine."
"Oh," Michaela said while flipping through the documents, "Humphrey, you are not old at all."
Just like that, the time came at night.
After reading more than ten "dictionaries" in a row, Michaela finally got off work.
"Oh my God."
On the way home, Michaela, who was dizzy, thought: "Is this the minister's job? He is too busy!"
But the system elf Torina complained: "If reading files is considered work, you are indeed very busy."
And Bernard, the personal secretary who was following Michaela, said directly: "Minister, you just signed more than ten names today."
Michaela turned to look at Bernard and asked, "Am I just signing?"
Bernard nodded and said: "Minister, signing documents is not a job. Your most important responsibility is to make decisions and issue decrees. We have been waiting."
Michaela's brows twitched a few times when she heard this, and Torina said bluntly: "He is mocking you for not doing anything."
Michaela, who was unhappy in her heart, immediately said: "Bernard, how did you get into the Administrative Affairs Department?"
"Report to the minister," Bernard said slowly: "I was an ordinary clerk before. This time the administrative affairs department was established, so I came to apply. After all, I am not you, I am not a hero, I cannot go to the battlefield, I can only deal with language homework."
"I see."
Michaela nodded: "I thought you, like Sir Humphrey, accepted your fate personally from the Regent."
"Eh?"
Bernard clearly sensed the implication and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Minister, I am your personal secretary."
While speaking, Bernard also looked down at the suitcase he was carrying.
As the minister of the Ministry of Administrative Affairs, Michaela certainly has corresponding benefits and supporting supplies, and Bernard has these things in the suitcase in his hand.
In fact, with his duties as a personal secretary, Bernard only needs to hand the suitcase to Michaela, and there is no need to deliver it to her door in person.
It was obvious that Bernard was sucking up to the leader.
No, even Torina said: "Although Bernard sometimes talks nonsense, he is much better behaved than Humphrey."
Haha, Sir Humphrey's permanent secretary position was accepted by the Regent Aqiang himself, which was certainly true of Michaela, but Bernard's private secretary position was applied for by himself, and he must look at the look of his superiors when doing things.
Realizing this, Michaela immediately prepared to win over Bernard. Although Mikaela does not understand politics, her experience as a Chinese in her previous life made Mikaela instinctively move in the direction of human relations.
"Ah, we're here."
Arriving at the stairs of the Warlock's secret room, Michaela said to Bernard: "Bernard, you just need to put the package in my room, and then you can go and rest."
"OK, all right."
Bernard, who had no doubt that he was there, followed Michaela into the hall of the warlock's secret room, and happened to see a group of warlocks gathered in front of the summoning circle, chanting incantations, and seemed to be performing some kind of dark and terrifying ritual.
Out of curiosity, Bernard asked: "Minister, what are they doing?"
Michaela said calmly: "We are all warlocks, and our usual job is of course to summon demons. Well, we are here."
While talking, Michaela opened the door to her room and called to Bernard: "Come on, put the suitcase on the table."
"OK."
Bernard put the suitcase on the table, and then said goodbye to Michaela: "Then, minister, I will go home and rest."
Then, Bernard turned around and left, not noticing the evil smile on Michaela's face behind him.
Sure enough, the moment Bernard stepped out of the door, he was stunned on the spot, unable to believe what he saw in front of him.
"a ha ha ha."
"Handsome guy, come and play."
"Come on, be happy!"
It turns out that the warlocks in the secret room summoned a group of beautiful succubi through dark and terrifying rituals to start a feast of sea and sky!
Bernard was instantly dazzled by the countless white flesh in front of him, and he couldn't control himself. Michaela's whisper also sounded in his ears:
"Bernard, I see everything you have done for me, so you can take a good rest here today."
As soon as the words came out, Michaela pushed Bernard hard with her right hand behind his back and pushed Bernard into the hall. The next second, several succubi leaned forward with their bodies and pushed Bernard in the middle.
Seeing Bernard's happy expression, Michaela closed the door with peace of mind.
"No one can resist a succubus."
Torina said: "Bernard will become your puppet soon."
"Don't be so exaggerated."
Michaela said: "That guy Humphrey made me a signing machine, but that doesn't mean he can control everything. Don't forget, I am the minister!"
But Torina complained: "Oh, Michaela, you showed me what those incompetent bureaucrats look like. In terms of official ability, you are simply not comparable to Humphrey."
Michaela, who couldn't even write a government white paper, was at a loss for words. She hesitated for a long time with her mouth open. She could only look at the wall in front of her and said to Torina: "In short, I can no longer be a signing machine. I It’s the minister, I have to make my own decision.”
Torina shrugged and said helplessly: "Okay, what do you want to do?"
"Knowing yourself and your enemy is enough to win a hundred battles, so I must understand Humphrey!"
Speaking of this, Michaela thought of her old friend the stalker Ellanra. Now she has become a member of Silvermoon City's intelligence agency and directly takes orders from the regent Aqiang. If Ellanra can be found, she must know the details of Humphrey!
Then, Michaela blurted out: "By the way, Ellanla..."
"How did you know I was here?"
Ellanra actually appeared out of thin air in front of the wall that Michaela was facing. As a result, Michaela didn't even finish the second half of her sentence "Ellanra must know" and just stood there, at a loss.
It wasn't until half a minute later that Michaela's mouth started to move again: "This, this is my home!"
Ellanla said matter-of-factly: "Yes, that's why I'm here."
At this moment, the succubus' whipping and Bernard's shouting came from outside the house.
"Pop!"
"ah!"
Ellanla pointed in the direction outside the door and asked, "Has Bernard joined the Warlock Secret Society?"
"I think he has great potential."
When Michaela bragged about not drafting, even Torina complained: "You're bullshit!"
In the end, Ellanla really believed it: "Well, I also think Bernard has great potential."
"Why does she believe everything!" Torina instantly felt that there was something wrong with her understanding.
Fortunately, Michaela did not forget the business: "Ellanla, do you know Humphrey?"
"Oh, Sir Humphrey!"
Ellanla didn't even think about opening her mouth and said: "On the first day you became a minister, you were scolded by him with a long and difficult sentence until you were speechless. And then you were unable to make the decision that a minister should make, so you could only The government white paper he drafted was used as a signature machine.”
Michaela: "Huh?"
Ellanla ignored Michaela's "Yeah" and continued: "So, you feel that as a minister, you are hampered by Sir Humphrey in every way, so you want to know his details so you can deal with him, right?"
Obviously, Michaela was directly fooled by Ellanla's words, but Torina reminded her: "Say it quickly, yes."
"um, yes!"
After subconsciously saying the above, Michaela always felt that something was wrong. Before he could speak, Ellanla said everything he wanted to say:
"You think I'm spying on you?"
"Yeah."
After getting the answer, Michaela immediately smiled and nodded, and the next second Torina reminded him: "Ellanla is watching you, watching you!"
Yes, surveillance!
Michaela couldn't laugh at all and could only say: "Why?"
"oh!"
Ellanla covered her face with her left hand and said in a disappointed tone: "Michaela, you are now the minister of the only department in Silvermoon City, and your power is second only to the regent. If you were the regent, would you... …”
Before the other party could finish speaking, Michaela opened her mouth and said "No", causing the second half of Ellan's sentence to get stuck in her throat.
"Um, cough, okay."
Ellanla coughed a few times and then said: "Anyway, you want to know about Sir Humphrey's past?"
Michaela: "Yes."
"I can tell you."
Ireland extended his right index finger to the minister's suitcase beside him and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Pour me a glass of wine."
Michaela opened the suitcase and took a look. Sure enough, there was a bottle of Yonge Forest fruit wine and two tall glasses inside. She immediately turned to look at Ellanla: "How do you know?"
Ellanla said matter-of-factly: "I just know."
Helpless, Michaela had no choice but to take out the glass, open the wine bottle, and pour a glass for Ellanla and herself.
"Ah, this fruit wine is a scarce commodity now."
After three rounds of drinking, Ellanla, whose cheeks were slightly red, finally began to tell the story of Sir Humphrey's past.
Sir Humphrey is now five hundred and sixty years old. He studied at the Royal Academy of Magic in Silvermoon City three hundred and thirty years ago. He has three degrees in law, literature, and management. After graduation, he became a government clerk. Due to his excellent business ability, step up.
It wasn't until fifty years ago that Humphrey reached the peak of his life. He was knighted by the former King Anastarian Sunstrider, became a member of the old aristocracy, and became the leader of the civil service group. Second in command. As long as Humphrey continues, when the former civil servant leader Sir Arnold retires, Humphrey will definitely succeed him and become the top leader of the civil servant group.
"It's a pity that Arthas brought the undead army to Silvermoon City."
Ellanla took a sip of fruit wine:
"We all know the next thing. Alsace massacred our compatriots. The former King Anastarian and a large number of dignitaries were all dead."
"Although Sir Humphrey survived by chance, with the collapse of the old Silvermoon City government, he lost all official positions and honors and became a refugee."
"Until now."
At this moment, Michaela seemed to know why Aqiang recruited Sir Humphrey, an old bureaucrat, to be the permanent secretary of the Department of Administrative Affairs, because he did have the ability to run the department well.
But, the problem is...
"Am I just a decoration?"
