Chapter 22 Descending to the Grassroots

"Am I just going to be an ornament!"

In the face of Michaela's argument, both the real Ellanra and the system elf Tolina in the spiritual world said in unison:

"You're just a decoration!"

Michaela was not convinced, and asked, "Why?" ”

Tolina is just a poisonous tongue and doesn't know the answer herself, but Irlanla is an old Jianghu and explained directly:

"Michaela, think about it, how did you become a minister?"

You don't have to think about it!

Michaela opened her mouth and said, "I am by merit!" ”

Irlanla corrected: "To be precise, it is a military achievement, but not a political achievement. Think about it, you have military merits, but you are a civilian official. ”

Now, let alone Michaela, even Tolina said, "Eh, it seems a little strange. ”

"Look, got it!"

Erlanla smiled: "Actually, there is no problem with the regent's approach, the blood elves are in danger now, and they need heroes, and when heroes come forward, of course, they should also be rewarded." ”

Michaela added: "So I became a big official. ”

"That's right," Al Lanla continued, "but from a practical point of view, government departments need professionals to manage them, and you, Michaela, are the heroes of the Blood Elves, but you obviously don't understand politics, so you need the help of an old bureaucrat." ”

Michaela really didn't squeak anymore.

In his previous life, as a Chinese, Michaela had a clear sense of common sense, and he had to let the professional come to work, and when it came to being an official, Sir Humphrey was indeed better than himself.

At the same time, Al Lanla also said: "Michaela, I know very well that you are not the kind of person who likes to sit in the office and approve documents, so you will walk out of the office sooner or later, right?" ”

Michaela certainly doesn't want to be trapped in the office, but he has his own secrets at the moment:

"The closed beta of the game "Metaverse - World of Warcraft" is over, and the server is temporarily closed, waiting for the open beta."

"Since the metaverse system is directly connected to the game, you can't summon the player character to fight for you because the game is temporarily suspended, so it's safest to stay in the office during this time," Tolina told Michaela. ”

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the end of the closed beta of "Metaverse - World of Warcraft" did cause Michaela to be unable to use the system to summon players for the time being, but when the open beta of the game opens, there will be more players available for Michaela to summon, and there will be no more embarrassing situations such as no players online.

And now Michaela has re-established contact with his contract demon through the demon summoning circle, and his strength as a demon warlock has basically recovered, as long as he doesn't deliberately die, there will be no problems.

"Michaela?"

Seeing that the other party was in a daze, Al Lanla asked, "Did you hear me?" ”

Michaela immediately let out a "hmm" and said, "Ellanla, you really know me. I really don't sit in my office forever and approve documents. But now, the regent has just made me a minister, and it is not good for me to leave immediately. So, I wondered what I could do for the Department of Administration, for our Blood Elves. ”

Erlanla narrowed her eyes, looked at Michaela, and said, "I can't see it, your ideological consciousness is quite high. ”

Michaela raised her glass and said with a smile: "I just know that as an official, you should serve the people wholeheartedly. ”

"Good one to serve the people wholeheartedly, I hope you are not talking empty words, cheers."

Erlanla raised her glass as well, bumping into Michaela, and the two of them drank as they entered.

"It's good wine, oh, there it is!"

Michaela suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Ellanla, you just said that Sir Humphrey has been working in the civil service system of the old Silvermoon City for hundreds of years?" ”

"Yes," Ellanra nodded, "What's wrong?" ”

Michaela then asked, "Has he ever been to the grassroots, that is, to work in the field?" ”

"To the scene?"

Ellanra thought for a moment, and replied, "If you mean going to the site by going to the site, Sir Humphrey did it; But if you say go to the scene, you mean go to the scene to work directly, he must not have done it. ”

"Sir Humphrey is a good bureaucrat cultivated in the civil bureaucracy of the old Silvermoon City, and he will not work at the bottom."

At this point, Ellanra suddenly realized something, looked at Michaela, and asked, "You want to work at the bottom?" ”

"That's right."

Michaela nodded, of course, working at the grassroots level is not the same as moving bricks directly at the construction site, now Michaela is a minister-level minister after all, with a noble identity, even if he can put down his body to move bricks, but what will others think?

Therefore, what work to do at the grassroots level is the key.

So, what to do?

Erlanla's eyes rolled and glanced out of the door, the feast of the sea and sky in the hall of the Warlock's Secret Room, Michaela instantly understood......

Early the next morning, Michaela came to the office of the Department of Administration, where the old bureaucrat Sir Humphrey was already waiting, and said politely:

"Good morning, Minister."

Michaela, who sat on the minister's throne, greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Humphrey." ”

At this same time, Bernard pushed open the door and entered the office, and Sir Humphrey turned his head to look at the young blood elf, and said calmly:

"Bernard, you're late."

Faced with Humphrey's duties, Bernard was a little apprehensive: "I'm sorry, Sir Humphrey, I ......"

"It's not his fault."

Michaela laughed, "Last night, I shouldn't have left Bernard at the Sorcerer's Party at the Warlock's Secret Society. ”

"Oh, it's a succubus party."

Humphrey seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Bernard, as an ordinary person who goes through the succubus party, and can continue to work the next morning, it seems that you have a lot of potential." ”

Finally, Humphrey turned to Michaela and said, "Chancellor, I suggest that we can expand the professional union, so that Bernard will have a chance to join the Warlock Society. ”

"Expansion of professional unions!"

Michaela raised her eyebrows, and the system elf Tolina immediately said: "Michaela, in the game of "World of Warcraft", the role played by the player is an adventurer from a professional union. ”

That's right, adventurer!

"That's a good offer."

Michaela smiled, "Humphrey, you can draft a white paper!" ”

"Gladly."

After that, Humphrey deliberately asked, "Chancellor, have you ever thought about writing a white paper yourself?" ”

Hehe, if I can write a white paper, do I still need you?

Michaela, who had already put himself in his position, immediately said: "Sir Humphrey, I confess that I am indeed inferior to you in terms of clerical work. ”

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Humphrey raised his eyebrows, and his eyes softened when he looked at Michaela: "It's really interesting, in my memory, young people like you often have higher eyes than the sky, and feel that they have a system, a plug-in, and can do anything." ”

"Ahh

Michaela is stupid, how does Humphrey know that he has a system plug-in?

In fact, Humphrey didn't just want to express that young people don't know the world and don't know the sky, but his words made Michaela, who really has a crumbling hook-up, nervous.

However, in Humphrey's eyes, Michaela's nervousness has become the reaction of a child who knows his mistake when he is reprimanded by his parents.

So Humphrey nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Very well, Chancellor, I can teach you if you want." ”

The other party has bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and Humphrey, as an elder, naturally did not want the bad guy to do it to the end, not to mention, Michaela's exploits in the battle of Silvermoon City are obvious to all, since the regent made him a minister, then his old bureaucrat is not unable to help him.

Teach, teach me?

However, Humphrey's words, after entering Michaela's ears, were a different scene, and he immediately consulted with Tolina in the spirit world:

"Humphrey actually knows the system, and he wants to teach me! Tolina, is he also a traverser? ”

Tolina was also confused: "I'm just a system elf, and it's impossible for me to know about other traversers." But ......"

Michaela: "But what? ”

Tolina: "The reason for you to cross over is the divine power of the evil god, so will the evil god be engaged in a time-traveler?" ”

Michaela exclaimed, "It's possible! ”

Hehe, the misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger.

"Minister, in fact, the white paper is not difficult, as long as you know the relevant concepts......"

Fortunately, Humphrey said what he really thought, and finally put an end to this misunderstanding.

"Wait!"

Michaela, who reacted, said, "Sir Humphrey, you want to teach me how to write a white paper?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

Humphrey looked at Michaela, looking a little puzzled.

Michaela breathed: "I thought you were also a traverser, and you wanted to teach me how to use the system." ”

"Crossing? What crossing? ”

Humphrey, of course, could not have understood what a traverser was.

"No, no, that's not important."

Michaela immediately changed the subject: "I just want to say, Sir Humphrey, that the work of the white paper will be left to you in the future." ”

"That's fine."

Writing a white paper was what Sir Humphrey did best, but the old bureaucrat felt that the young minister had not finished speaking, so he took the initiative to speak:

"So, Minister, what do you want to do?"

Michaela then expressed her original thoughts: "I thought about it all night yesterday and realized that I was not as useful as you in the office, so I planned to go down to the grassroots level and see what I could do. ”

"Down to the grassroots?"

Sir Humphrey almost burst out laughing: "With all due respect, Chancellor, are you going to wear a splendid gown and a Medal of Hero, and go to the construction site to move bricks?" You're disgraced the face of the regent. ”

"No, no, Sir Humphrey, you misunderstood."

Michaela explained: "Of course I know that as a minister, it is indeed inappropriate to go to the construction site to move bricks, but grassroots work is not only about moving bricks. ”

"Huh?"

Humphrey raised his eyebrows, and at this time he already felt that he seemed to underestimate the young minister in front of him.

Michaela took the opportunity to beckon: "Bernard, bring me yesterday's white paper on the reconstruction plan." ”

Bernard immediately put the white paper he had prepared long ago on his desk. At this moment, as an old bureaucrat, Humphrey already understands that at last night's succubus party, Michaela must have wooed Bernard.

I saw Michaela open the white paper, pointed to the words on it and said:

"Look, Sir Humphrey, the plan in your white paper is indeed perfect, but in the actual operation, some problems arise that you don't expect, and I went to the grassroots level to solve them."

Sir Humphrey glanced at the text on Michaela's finger and seemed to understand something:

"Well, it seems that all I can say is ......"

"Yes, Chancellor."
