Chapter 12 Bureaucracy Kills

Holding the empty teacup that he had just drunk, Mr. Edward was stunned in place, "What is the funding of the drama department?"

"Is it difficult?!"

Mr. Edward, who suddenly thought of something, slammed the table and exclaimed excitedly like a storyteller who had been selling for a long time and was finally ready to tell you the truth.

"Are you finally ready to participate in the entertainment activities of normal people? Drama, well, drama is a good thing, elegant and can cultivate people's sentiments, I don't know where it is higher than your unreliable magic paintings......

As if seeing his daughter finally learn to call Daddy, Mr. Edward walked around his office excitedly like a young father.

"Long-winded! We're not squatting at home for 10,000 years! And apologize to the magic painting authors!"

The point of the apology is not whether he is squatting at home for ten thousand years, but a magic painting!?

"Ahem, anyway, how did you get involved with the drama department? I don't think you're interested in that. ”

Instead of watching the crappy actors perform some plays, it's better to watch magic paintings at home. Mr. Edward, who once invited Nagi to the Grand Theater of the Imperial Capital to watch a play, was complained about and looked down upon by Nagi.

"Just do what we say, old man. ”

Rubbing his nose with his hand, Nagi muttered and said, It's just a matter of telling Caesar, Martina, and Ellie about DeWitt, after all, although it is a teacher-student relationship, they are actually friends of the same generation who are about the same age, but if the old guy Edward knows...... It may not be much, but Nagi who is troubled by self-esteem should not do it!

"Okay, okay, I'll write you an article, and the funds will be approved to the drama club in about a week." ”

Since Nagi doesn't say it, Mr. Edward has no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and a huge amount of money in the eyes of the students is actually a small amount of money in Mr. Edward's place, and since Nagi wants it, the next batch is it.

"Wait, wait, what does a week mean!"

We need the funds now, the drama performance is tomorrow, although DeWitt claims to be able to solve the problem of the venue and props, but as a minister of light who has lost his reputation in the student union and is about to be killed by President Jesseca, how much savings can he have, and how much funding can he apply for? Nagi doesn't want to see a lot of shabby props when he is down, but if he gives DeWitt money directly, no matter what DeWitt thinks, this is a kind of humiliation and distrust of him. Although Devit is a little white-faced and women's pervert, he is also from the knight's department, even if he is not as middle and second as Caesar, but he still has the limit of being a knight who is not subject to food. So Nagi wanted to help this poor and hateful drama minister in a roundabout way, yes, by allocating sufficient funds to DeWitt through Edward's hands, so that not only did the economic problem be solved, but DeWitt's poor self-esteem could be maintained a little.

"Although the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic has always been criticized, but a week's time is also very normal, you see, the text I annotated will be packed by my assistant in the evening, and the next morning will be assigned to the secretariat for further sorting and review, and then sent to the accounting department of the appropriation to be ......"

Mr. Edward eloquently described bureaucracy as the rigor and reliability of the Ministry of Magic's management system, and even a small thing has to go through layers of processes to do.

"We're in a hurry, it's urgent! There's no reason why it takes a week to do anything!"

After a week, the daylily was cold, and Nagi grabbed the wide cuffs of Mr. Edward's magic robe and shook it, looking very anxious to win the sympathy of the old man in front of him.

"If the next batch of urgent documents is issued, it can indeed be done within today, but urgent documents can only be issued when there is an important matter, otherwise it may cause a tragedy like the fable 'The wolf is coming'. Nagi, I know you're in a hurry, but this is your own private matter, and I can satisfy you with anything else, but I can't do anything else, this is my bottom line. ”

However, Mr. Edward righteously rejected Nagi's attack, and the head of the academy handed over the Ministry of Magic to Edward not only because of Edward's outstanding strength, but also because although his management skills were not the best, he was absolutely fair and would not do anything harmful to the academy.

"Alas......"

Seeing Mr. Edward take out such a stern appearance, Nagi also knew that no matter how much he begged, the brainless old guy in front of him would not agree, so he had to bow his head in frustration and sigh.

"Oh, don't, don't be like this, Nagi, although it doesn't work to make an urgent document, we still have a way!"

Mr. Edward, who had been putting on a poker face, immediately softened his heart when he saw Nagi's dejected appearance, and he carefully patted Nagi, who was about to leave, and said in a sincere panic.

"What's the solution, even if you can approve it in three or four days, we can't do it, we want it today. ”

Presumably, even if you rely on methods such as surprise inspections and training to speed up the efficiency of work, but even if there is no delay in so many complicated procedures, it will take at least three days to complete, although it is much faster, but for Nagi, there is actually no difference between three days and a week, it is all an afterthought.

"The principle of the so-called emergency document is actually to reduce the process before the execution of the document with the maximum process. ”

Mr. Edward pulled Nagi to his large desk, and despite Nagi's resistance, he suddenly picked her up and put her on the black leather office chair in the main seat, and slowly explained to Nagi.

"After all, I can't really cast a spell on the official document to speed it up on its own, can it? The emergency official document is to skip all the complicated procedures that the official document must go through, and send it directly from me to the direct execution department of the official document, of course, this requires my special authorization to take effect. ”

Although it violates the original work system, only in this way can the orders of the upper level be carried out at the grassroots level as quickly as possible, which is a practical but easy to cause risks as a last resort.

"It's not like we don't know this......"

Leaning back in the soft chair, Nagi said weakly, even if Mr. Edward didn't explain these principles, she could guess seven or eight points, but what if she knew this? If Edward didn't write an urgent letter for himself, it would be impossible for the departments below to do anything.

"Although the money has to be raised from the accounting department, it is not the accounting department that is under the final implementation fund. ”

Mr. Edward, who touched Nagi's head with his hand and signaled her to calm down, had a sly smile on his face.

"So what?"

Whoever gave the money to DeWitt in the end was useless without Mr. Edward's consent, was it?

"It's the student council that delegates the funds. After all, all clubs are managed by the student union!"

I took out a folder from the cabinet on the side, and the information of all the members of the student union was well preserved.

"Jessica, Eun, what a hard boy. ”

Mr. Edward said, glancing at Nagi meaningfully.
