"You just solved the problem of the underground cave in the square, and you plan to solve the undead in the Garden Market tomorrow?"
Faced with Humphrey's question, Michaela said righteously: "Going deep into the grassroots is how I work as a minister. I don't want to be a signing machine that only approves documents in the office."
As soon as he finished speaking, personal secretary Bernard took a stack of white papers about half as tall as himself, put them on his desk, and said:
"Minister, this is the document you need to review today."
System Elf Torina complained without hesitation: “I don’t want to be a signing machine that only approves documents in the office.”
Michaela's right cheek twitched a few times, but she still picked up the white paper and started reading. There is no way, reviewing documents is the job that ministers should do...
That night, when Michaela returned to the warlock's chamber, she ignored her fellow warlocks and the graceful succubi in the hall, rushed back to her room, and locked the door.
"oh!"
Michaela, who lay down on the bed, just wanted to sleep.
Sir Humphrey and his team of civil servants can write more than a dozen white papers that are comparable to dictionaries every day. For Michaela to review, it has reminded him of the scene when he was preparing for the college entrance examination. It was really a mountain of books and a sea of questions.
"I don't want to approve documents, I want to go out for adventure!"
Michaela shouted in her heart, while Torina was as venomous as ever: "Hold on a little longer, time traveler, the open beta hasn't started yet, and you don't have any players to summon now."
Michaela frowned, sat up, looked forward, and said to Torina: "Can't you be less vicious and do more useful things?"
"sure!"
Torina actually agreed: "As a system elf, it is my job to assist travelers. For example, tomorrow, you plan to go to the Garden Market to solve the problem of the undead interfering with the construction of the separation wall."
"Yes, that's it!"
Michaela was delighted: "Do you have any suggestions?"
Torina instantly put on a suit and a blond wig, transforming into the "King of Understanding". She also raised her right hand and made a finger-twisting gesture, and said in a decent manner:
“Build the wall and let the dead pay for it!”
Protruding!
Michaela was stunned: "Are you kidding!"
Torina, who took off her "Knowing King" costume, said: "I am also very helpless. I don't know the current situation of the Garden Market. How can I give you advice?"
If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger. This is the truth.
Michaela also had to admit that she didn't know the actual situation of the Garden Market now.
"It would be great if Ellan was here."
Torina said with emotion: "She is now the head of the intelligence agency, so she must know everything."
Michaela also nodded and said: "Ellanla..."
"Why were you discovered again!"
Ellanra once again appeared out of thin air in front of the stunned Mikaela, and even said: "Mikaela, you are so talented, you can even see through my stealth skills easily."
"No, it's not!"
At this time, Michaela was dumbfounded: "Ellanla, this is my room, you, you..."
"Me what?"
Ellanla did not regard herself as an outsider at all, and directly took two glasses from the cabinet on the side, then took out the half bottle of fruit wine that she drank yesterday, and poured a glass for herself and Michaela.
"Breathe...breathe..." Torina comforted: "Relax!"
Michaela also followed Torina and took a deep breath, feeling much calmer. Then she took the initiative to step forward, picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and said: "The Stalker's Guild is next door!"
"But I'm here."
After saying that, Ellanra took a sip of wine in front of Michaela, acting like a hostess.
Michaela's expression twitched a few times. This female elf ran to her room every night, and she had to find something to do!
Yes, that’s right!
Humphrey said that he would prepare a white paper for the expansion of the professional union. He would go to work tomorrow to urge Humphrey to write the white paper as soon as possible. He would sign and approve it immediately, and directly ask Ellan to train new people, so as not to Come and disturb yourself...
However, Torina asked back: "Michaela, you are obviously a time traveler. Since Ellanla runs into your room every night, haven't you ever thought of pushing her down?"
Michaela "hummed" and said seriously: "I am a serious person and have outgrown vulgar taste."
Torina rolled her eyes toward the sky: "Haha, readers, do you believe it?"
"I do not believe!"
Ellanla put down the wine glass, looked at Mikaela's face, and said: "Based on my understanding of warlocks, you will definitely summon succubus at night to 'help' sleep, but why didn't you summon your succubus?"
"I……"
Before Michaela could speak, Ellanla immediately pointed at his face and said, "Don't use the magic wave as an excuse to summon. I already saw the little ghost you summoned in the morning."
"that……"
Michaela wanted to say something else, but Ellanla still managed to get the word out of her mouth: "In addition, it was obviously you who signed the white paper on the restoration of the news media, but in the end you were still playing tricks with Alderaan in full view of the public. You Do you really want to be on the front page of The Sun? You know what the media likes to attract attention."
""The truth behind the blood elf hero is exposed"!"
""The minister went deep into the grassroots and took the initiative to meet with this person"!"
""The secret lover of the Minister of Administrative Affairs turned out to be him"!"
After saying several headlines that were as good as a marketing account, Ellanla deliberately looked at Mikaela, who had a dark expression: "Which one do you like as the headline?"
"I don't like any of them!"
Michaela was a little embarrassed and shouted on the spot: "Why don't the news media report on my solution to the troll tomb? That is the real thing that I do at the grassroots level!"
"Hahaha," Ellanra patted Mikaela and smiled: "Because doing practical things can't attract attention at all! If you don't attract attention, there will be no sales."
Michaela could only cover her face with her hands and said: "Unscrupulous media!"
"Michaela, don't talk about irrelevant things!"
At this time, Torina reminded: "Hurry up and ask about the separation wall at the Garden Market!"
Yes!
I am a minister. I must serve the people wholeheartedly and take it as my responsibility to do practical things. I must not be stopped by the crazy rhetoric of the unscrupulous media!
As a result, Michaela immediately said seriously: "Ellanla!"
"Um?"
At this time, Ellanla's cheeks were flushed due to drinking, causing her voice to sound a little lazier.
Faced with such a situation, Michaela's heart fluctuated violently.
Torina even said directly: "You are moved."
A man and a woman living alone in the same room are really...
Michaela swallowed and said, "What's the current situation of the separation wall at Garden Market?"
Hearing this, Ellanla laughed like a flower and mocked: "Haha, you have no courage."
Torina's venomous tongue is definitely indispensable at this time: "Look, if you don't take action, you will be ridiculed."
I……
Fortunately, Ellanra did not continue to embarrass Michaela: "The situation of the separation wall is very bad, because the sound made by workers building the wall will attract the undead from the Death Mark, and we don't have enough manpower to clean it up. They have, therefore, brought the construction of the wall to a complete halt."
Halfway through the words, Ellanla deliberately moved closer to Michaela and stretched out her index finger to scratch the latter's chest:
"So, if you want to solve the construction problem of the separation wall, my suggestion is that you'd better create a bait to attract all the undead around, and the workers can start work normally. As long as the separation wall is built to a certain The height can completely isolate the undead."
Speaking of bait, Michaela really has a way, but:
"Well, Ellanra, why are you so close?"
Michaela and Ellanla are almost cheek to cheek!
"It's nothing," Ellanla said with a smile: "I just don't want another guy to get the first step."
Michaela: "Huh?"
Ellanla: "Don't worry, what happens here will not be published in the newspapers!"
(Torina, who covers her eyes with her hands, is a friendly reminder that there is no deletion here and nothing happened after that)
The next day, Michaela came to the office and took a look, and immediately said in surprise:
"Fuck, what is that on my table?"
Bernard, who had been waiting aside, immediately stepped forward and explained: "Those are letters, ministers, letters sent by enthusiastic citizens."
Looking at the letters piled up as high as a hill, Michaela, who was sitting on the minister's throne, asked: "Do I have to open them one by one and reply to them one by one?"
Fortunately, Bernard, who had worked as a clerk before, was experienced and explained on the spot: "Actually, there is no need to go back, minister."
Michaela raised her eyebrows, pointed to the letter on her desk and asked, "Don't you need it?"
"No, minister."
Bernard continued: “You just draft an official response.”
"Official reply?"
Obviously, Michaela, who has just been an official for a few days, does not understand this very well, and the task of Private Secretary Bernard is to explain to the minister:
"Just reply 'Minister thank you for your letter' and say something like 'It's under consideration', and if you want to be positive, say 'It's under active consideration'."
Michaela, who was still confused, asked casually: "Is there any difference between the two rhetorics?"
Bernard said seriously: "'Under consideration' means that the letter has been lost, and 'actively considering' means that we are looking for it."
"This joke is not funny at all!"
Michaela glared at Bernard, making the latter tremble and had to change his words: "Actually, minister, you just need to move the letters to the file box in the upper left corner of the desk, and then you don't have to worry about them anymore. "
Michaela first looked at the pile of letters on the table, then looked at the document basket in the upper left corner of the desk, and finally looked at Bernard and asked:
"Put all the letters in the basket so you don't have to look at them?"
"Yes, Minister."
Bernard smiled: "We will take care of it."
Handled properly?
At this moment, even Torina knew: "The so-called 'proper disposal' means throwing it all away!"
In other words, the minister is not the handler of letters at all, but just their porter...
To be fair, Michaela really wants to be a good minister who can handle everything properly, but the reality is always cruel. Just reviewing a white paper as thick as a dictionary consumes a lot of work time, and there is really no extra energy. , went to check the letters sent by enthusiastic citizens.
"Oh, right!"
Michaela looked around the office and found that one person was missing, and immediately asked: "Where is Sir Humphrey?"
Speaking of Humphrey, here he comes!
"Oh, I'm not late."
Sir Humphrey walked into the office holding the first issue of "The Sun" in his hand, and deliberately showed the front page to Michaela and Bernard.
"I just went and bought a newspaper."
Humphrey smiled at Michaela:
“Today’s first issue of The Sun has a headline on the front page: “The Secretary of State for Administration’s secret lover turns out to be him”!
