Chapter 243: Pressure and Motivation V
After not eating all day, she was already hungry, and the dishes were novel and tasted, Emily used chopsticks with weightlessness magic to fill her stomach half before remembering table manners, and began to chat as elegantly as possible. After all, this world does not respect food and sleep, but thinks that the quiet table means that the meal is unpleasant, similar to the wine table of the new Zhongguo.
Jiao Ming's new chef's heart was quite shocked, and he thought that Emily should not be able to hold on until she could not hold it before she remembered the function of her mouth and speaking.
Perhaps remembering Jiao Ming's suggestion just now, Emily chose to start the conversation with something happy, and the other three people in the room realized how much sensation and attention the research on using magnetism to reduce the metal materials used in the space circle had caused.
In yesterday's competition, the floating tray on the side of the gray-robed student attracted the attention of Sasu, who personally refereed the competition, with its superior performance and incredibly few materials. After the students dispersed, the school naturally 'borrowed' the floating frisbee from the student council to study, and a few small officers of the student council who were in charge of this matter and couldn't wait to participate in the celebration foolishly let the school move away.
Hearing this, Binglian knew that the floating tray had 'disappeared for a short time', and pinched off the chopsticks with a 'snap', firstly, she was quite dissatisfied with the school's move, and secondly, she was a little difficult to explain to the two designers in front of her. "Next time, I'll tell the student council members in particular. ”
Jiao Ming waved his hand and said, "Ask the members of the student council to keep the secrets of the student council and resist the pressure of the school? Don't waste your efforts, not only can't you do it at all, but even saying it will have a negative impact on the students." ”
The gray-robed students were able to enter the academy to get a chance to change their fate, all thanks to Vice President Sasu's improvement of the college's enrollment policy, which opened the door, so he was grateful to the academy and the Sasu faction. Therefore, if you choose a position between the college and the student union, there is no suspense about the result.
Emily just smiled, disapproving at Binglian's statement, and said: "The original goal was not to attract the attention of the big shots, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good, and the school's methods were so 'direct', which is not a bad thing overall." After that, he will bring back the slightly deviated topic and continue to tell.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway. Opening the thin wooden plank of the sandwich, just a few glances, Sasu and several other qi masters understood a general idea, and after a little investigation, they found Emily's head and began further consultation.
And Emily, as if she was a middle-level cadre in the world's leading large company, suddenly learned that her plan was favored by several CEOs of the company's board of directors, and she almost went crazy with joy like Fan Jinzhongju. After suppressing his joy, he naturally tidied up his clothes, took out the PPT that had been made a long time ago, and came to the board of directors.
When Jiao Ming and the student council were celebrating and returning to the castle for dinner, Emily chatted with several Qi magicians from the Nine Rings or even above the Nine Rings until it was completely dark.
Speaking of which, Emily thanked Jiao Ming again. Jiao Ming smiled and said a few words modestly, and then invited Emily to eat. Binglian expressed her envy for being able to talk to the Magicians Association at a high level, and asked about the subsequent development of the matter.
After a brief pause, Emily spoke again, visibly depressed. The display of R&D results was a great success, and brought generous research funds and policy support, and happily met the senior brothers who had been friends for many years from the college, and then parachuted into the ready celebration banquet.
"The news leaked?" Jiao Ming asked, knowing that the story was to the point, he couldn't help but turn on the lame detective mode and try to find clues.
Amy shook her head and explained, "First of all, I want to come to Vice President Sasu's initial investigation and questioning, most of the people who investigated and questioned me were senior brothers, because I was able to come to this academy to take classes through my senior brother's recommendation. Judging from the conversations at the banquet, they just knew that I was favored by the big guys, and they didn't know the specific content yet. ”
Binglian gently pulled Jiao Ming's arm, and her eyes signaled to be a good listener, and not to interrupt by interjecting.
However, Emily's already low talk has been exhausted, and she briefly talks about the process of the banquet, and finally ends with the sentence "I can't remember the rest of the things".
Jiao Ming and Binglian looked at each other, and they both saw the words 'unfinished' in each other's eyes.
"Can't you remember the fact that you teleported to my room and woke me up?"
Emily grabbed her hair, frowned at the ceiling, and hesitated, "It seems a little impressive, but ...... I still can't remember the feeling clearly. ”
Jiao Ming showed off his acting skills, making an unbelievable and heart-damaged look, as if he had been toyed with and thrown off a spare tire. Emily was amused by the 'poof', and her originally gloomy expression melted like ice.
"And who did you remember the last time you met you?" asked Binglian. According to what she just said, after the banquet began, Emily was pulled around and chatted with some strangers through her brother. And according to Senior Brother's words, these people are all characters who must be befriended in the future when they join the Magician Association. Unfortunately, due to poor social interaction and slight face blindness, as well as drug efficacy, Emily has forgotten most of them. So as much as Emily tries to remember, she can't answer the question.
"The last one may not be the one who took the drug, so don't think about it, it doesn't make much sense to think about it. Jiao Ming persuaded, hesitated for a few seconds and said the obvious key person: "Your senior brother ......"
Emily shook her head, her long hair swaying like a spring breeze blowing through a willow branch, "I don't know how to face him yet." ”
"Do you think he's involved?" Binglian, who is also a woman, is keenly aware of the hidden message of this strange attitude.
Emily sighed, "Although I may not be directly involved, I am happy to see that it will be successful, and I may have become a tool for him to cling to someone." ”
"It's too much!" Jiao Ming was indignant.
"Hehe, he probably really believed it was 'for my good'. Emily smiled wryly and accentuated the last three words, after years of getting along, of course she knew her senior brother, and understood that his strange and distorted brain circuits would always output unbelievable ideas. Jiao Ming remembered what he had seen and heard on the earth, and sure enough, there was no shortage of high-level pimps in any world.
Since there were obvious clues, Binglian asked the core: "What are your plans for this matter in the future? If you can be effective, it is absolutely incumbent on you to be a woman." ”
"Thank you in advance. "Women always hold grudges, and Emily is clearly not an exception. "It's really comfortable to chat, and the food is delicious, but I didn't expect to accept a disciple and earn a chef for nothing. ”
"You've won a prize. ”
"Then eat and drink enough, and get to work! Call the little girl called Fish Scales too, the new project is very short of manpower. Emily clapped her hands, returned to her former demeanor, and then said to Binglian: "Please also ask the young lord to give me a room, I will borrow it here in the future, and my senior brother will never go to his house again." ”
"Welcome!" Binglian was overjoyed.
Emily, who came out of depression, returned to her workaholic nature, pulled Jiao Ming's scales to work, and still had no intention of resting until late at night. Jiao Ming dozed off when he saw the flashing scales, and for the sake of the little poem, he pleaded with Emily for him. Cute little kids are always forgiven, and this time too, Emily waved her hand and let Shining Scales go to sleep.
After a long time, until it was time to sleep, Jiao Ming saw that his master was still full of energy, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "When will we finish work?"
"First of all, it was taken seriously and supported by research. And then get away with it. Shouldn't we celebrate?" asked Emily, her work on her hand as she continued to grind, the sound of the nib rubbing against the paper clear in the silence of the night.
"What do you mean by your celebration?" Jiao Ming had a terrible conjecture in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Working all night, of course!"
"There's something special about your way of celebrating. After a long time, avoiding countless complaints containing keywords such as 'capitalist', 'vampire' and 'neurosis', Jiao Ming reluctantly came up with a milder statement.
"What's your opinion?" Emily's voice was as gentle as a dead leaf on a trap, after all, normal people could hear that "special" was not a compliment.
Jiao Ming thought about it, and finally persuaded: "There is a saying in my hometown, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter." ”
This sentence translates plainly and plainly, and Emily easily grasps the meaning, but is not moved at all: "Do you know that if you don't get enough 'firewood' before dark, you will freeze to death in the cold night?" ”
Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to use the metaphorical image to make a metaphor again, frowning and turning his brain, combined with the current situation Emily is facing, he gradually has some conjectures. Is the 'research result' the 'firewood'? No, the 'attention' that has attracted the attention of Vice President Sassou because of the research results is the 'firewood'. If you speculate a little further, then the so-called 'cold night' is most likely the force that dominated this drugging incident. Thinking about it this way, Emily didn't go back to her residence, whether she was tired of the landlord's brother, or she was afraid, or even drugged, I am afraid that Emily already had a suspicion, and she knew that she was powerless to resist, because she didn't say anything because of all kinds of scruples.
All this is speculation, but considering his face, Jiao Ming can't ask the person concerned for verification, but the figure of an old man whose hands were cut off far away in the crocodile collar came to mind, so he had to sigh lightly and bear his guilt.
"What kind of crocodile collar saying is this?"
"The idea is that a poor man has a beautiful stone and dies because the noble lord likes it. ”
The lab fell silent again, and even the grinding of the tip of the pen died down, until Emily's crumbling chuckle echoed, "I can't imagine such an interesting saying in such a remote place as Crocodile Collar." ”
"You've won the prize, let's hurry up and 'chop wood'. ”
......
All night again, but when the east side was white, Jiao Ming lay on the table and took a nap to minimize the side effects of a sleepless night. When he was having lunch with Binglian at noon, there was a familiar space fluctuation next to him, and Jiao Ming realized that his master was coming.
"Did you 'mark' me?"
"Of course, such a useful disciple can't be lost. Emily admitted directly, and at the same time waved her hand for Rosea to buy another lunch, as if Jiao Ming's maid was her own maid.
After eating, Binglian also seemed to have some doubts, after all, wearing a set of clothes for three days without changing it is not the demeanor of a noble woman, so she asked: "Do you need to go to your original residence and move your belongings to the castle?"
"Forget it, it's disgusting to think that those things have been touched by my senior brother, and I'll buy new ones when the research funds come down. ”
Jiao Ming looked at his master's calm appearance, and suddenly suspected that those conjectures last night were all false, and everything was just to fool himself into working all night. The suspicion lasted for three days, and even deepened as Emily behaved as usual, until Evan came up with a piece of information.
"The future queen?" Jiao Ming exclaimed, attracting countless bored glances from the surroundings.
Evan nodded in response, and gestured for Jiao Ming to calm down and continue to look down.
Jiao Ming roughly read the whole text and asked, "This prince chose the crown princess to be drugged?
"On this point, there is a special note. Evan pointed to the intelligence and explained: "It's not an aphrodisiac, but it has the effect of lowering the standards for men and women to choose a mate, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in first impression and increase the success rate of blind dates." As for what you see, it should be the effect of drinking other potions and mixing them by accident. ”
"So coincidentally?"
This is the most plausible explanation after excluding aphrodisiacs. After all, this kind of medicine is also well-known in the circle of pharmacists, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a century-old prescription, and there has never been a problem. Evan moved his finger to another place and continued, "However, this prince is known for being lustful, and it is very unlikely that he deliberately tampered with the properties of the medicine. ”
"Apothecary, similar to you alchemists?"
"You can drink the medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Although we are all fire magicians, we are noble alchemists, not the same as those who sell fake medicines. Evan's voice was furious, as if he had been insulted by something, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth and eyebrows.
"You're a little weird today. So happy, have you met a good thing?" Jiao Ming directly said the question in his heart.
"Great good. Evan stared at Jiao Ming and replied.
