Demon's Self-cultivation

Just when Xu Zhengjie was fighting between heaven and man, trying to think whether he was too "sensitive" and misunderstood the two affectionate children, or he was too slow and only now found out the tricks, Mandel had already brought Jojo, Stepped into the meeting hall of the palace.

At this time, the seats in the conference hall were already filled with well-dressed and serious ministers, who were discussing in whispers about the upcoming topics.

Seeing that the door of the conference hall was pushed open, everyone quickly recovered their silence, turned their eyes to their king, and naturally saw Qiao Qiao who was following behind him.

Immediately, some of the ministers twitched the corners of their mouths, and some twitched their brows slightly, all of them were worried about how clingy their monarch was.

It's fine to handle the other party's basic necessities of life with one hand, but if it's done too much, it's a disgraceful disease to be repaired with the highest-grade nutrient solution!When they were repairing, they had to call every half an hour to ask about the situation even in a meeting, but now they simply brought the other party directly to the conference hall!It's really... blinding!

Noticing the hidden meaning in the eyes of everyone, Mandel turned a blind eye.He walked to his throne and sat down, and Jojo also sat in the lower position than him under the gesture of Mandel—this was when Daniel heard that Jojo would also attend the court meeting together Arranged urgently.

Seeing that Qiao Qiao was seated, Mandel coughed lightly and opened the prelude to the court meeting.First of all, he introduced Qiao Qiao to his ministers: "From now on, Qiao Qiao will serve as my secretary. Get to know each other, and you will have to work together in the future."

All the ministers glanced at the seat where Qiao Qiao was sitting, and promised respectfully on their faces, but they kept slandering in their hearts.Is that seat for the secretary?Never before had they seen a secretary sitting in such a position below the king and above the courtiers! ——You can pull it down!That's obviously the back position!

Forcibly assigning the queen to the position of a secretary, everyone understands the meaning of a drunkard, everyone can't question the "interest" of their boss, they can only silently smack their lips in their hearts, and sigh with emotion, "You are really good at playing!" !"

Although Mandel did not directly disclose the identity of Jojo's "queen", seeing how much his own king cares about him, everyone has already acquiesced to this "fact" and secretly paid attention to his future "queen" from all aspects. ", carefully figure out his character, habits and abilities.

——After all, knowing how to guess the meaning is one of the necessary skills for an official to climb higher.

Knowing about Qiao Qiao's past, the ministers did not have any dissatisfaction or distrust of this "secretary" who apparently came through the back door and airborne - after all, he was able to get along well in the Star Thieves , the person known as the new generation of Star Thief Nova, who is almost going to take over the Black Vulture Star Thief Group, is by no means a good character.

No matter how beautiful and weak the other party looks, it is still a fierce beast hidden under the soft and gorgeous fur - they are not worried at all that their future "queen" is not capable enough, but they have to worry that the other party's ability is too strong, which in turn will trap them last one.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, there is a division of roles between the main inside and the outside.In the royal family, the king focuses on state affairs and is responsible for establishing the majesty of the royal family, while the queen mostly does charity and participates in some social activities, showing the image of the royal family being close to the people and generous in a gentle way.

If they have a "queen" who is a former star thief, then there is no need to think about the "image of being close to the people and being generous", and Qiao Qiao is definitely not a character who will be a vase in peace.If the other party can move forward side by side with their own king and realize everyone's ambition, that would be a good development.

Therefore, with the cooperation of everyone, Secretary Qiao Qiao's career progressed quite smoothly.

Xiao Xiaomo deeply understands what learning is boundless. Even though he has read a lot of books on politics before, reading and practicing are completely different things.

Entering politics for the first time, he still has a lot to learn.Whenever he encounters something he doesn't understand or understand, Qiao Qiao will immediately ask questions, and the people he asks will answer his questions seriously and never hide his secrets—after all, this is the "Queen" "Ah, if they are sued by the other party, or the king inadvertently finds out that they are fooling the other party, according to Mandel's level of protection of his "wife", it will be too much to eat and go away!

Of course, despite being taught with all his heart, Qiao Qiao didn't quickly intervene in government affairs.

Years of career as a star thief taught him the need to be cautious in words and deeds. If an idea is not fully mature, then don't say it easily. What's more, the Mandel government has a detailed and reasonable plan for the future development of the country. It is not him In this way, a layman who has just glimpsed the way can be changed in a few words.

Knowing that he has deeply offended the host, and now being disliked by the host in various ways, Xiao Xiaomo regards himself as very humble—rather than flexing his muscles in political affairs, he will continue to brush his family honestly and dutifully. The favorability of the host is more important to make the other party believe that he has "rehabilitated".

Therefore, apart from accompanying Mandel in dealing with political affairs and occasionally seeking advice from courtiers, Qiao Qiao devoted almost all of his time and energy to scientific research. The level of scientific research has been raised to a higher level.

There is an old saying in this world, "Science and technology are the primary productive forces", and this saying will not be outdated even now.The Kingdom of Keinton is a resource-based country, and most of the country's income depends on the export of rare substances called "Kayinton". Although the people's lives are quite rich, both technology and armaments are far inferior to those of the China Alliance and China. European and American empires.

In order to be truly king and hegemony, the Kingdom of Kyington not only needs political skills, but also needs to improve its technological level and military strength. After all, only by relying on these two aspects can the Kingdom of Kyington have a higher international reputation. The right to speak, and the confidence to expand the power can also be more sufficient.

In politics, Qiao Qiao, who is a layman, can't really help at the moment, but in the field of feasibility study, he has never stopped learning and exploring, but he has an absolute right to speak.

Compared with most of the technicians in the Kingdom of Kaynton who rarely go abroad, Qiao Qiao can be regarded as well-informed.

Since he was seven or eight years old, he has entered the top scientific research institute of the Huaxia Alliance to observe and practice, and because of his young age, the technicians in the laboratory did not have a high sense of secrecy in front of him, which made him secretly know a lot of things he did not know. Things that should be known - although at that time, Qiao Qiao's knowledge reserve and ability level did not allow him to understand the true value of these things, but it could not support his high spirit and good memory.

But Qiao Qiao will keep in mind all the things that he doesn't understand, and when he is really capable of getting involved in these fields, he will suddenly understand and integrate them.

In addition to the scientific research institute of the China Alliance, the technicians in the Black Vulture Star Bandit Group also taught Qiao Qiao a lot.

The Black Vulture Star Thief Group is a mixed bag, and members from various countries bring together their science and technology, which broadens Qiao Qiao's horizons.

With super high learning ability, Qiao Qiao absorbed the feasibility research results from various countries, discarded the dross and took the essence. Only in this way can he become the chief technician of the Black Vulture Star Bandit Group and bring the black The Vulture has been remodeled to become more perfect and powerful.

——Now, Qiao Qiao’s more than ten years of study and research results have all benefited the Kyington Kingdom.

In just one month, Qiao Qiao established a one-size-fits-all dominance in the Kaynton Royal Research Institute, and every word he said was respected by the technicians in the research institute.

Because what Qiao Qiao came up with was the technology he had already researched and matured, the scientific research results of the research institute were produced very quickly, one after another blueprint reports flew from the research institute to the arsenal, and the arsenal was brightly lit for several months. , Sleepless all night.

The courtiers rejoiced at the changes brought about by Qiao Qiao—you must know that after having a king with flexible and tough political skills, a clear mind, and great ambitions, their biggest headache is that their country’s military level is not enough to support them. Their vigorous ambitions.

The current interstellar battlefield tests not only the quality of commanders and troops, but more importantly, the strength and advancement of ships, weapons, and mechs.In ancient wars, the tactics of crowds can be adopted, and human lives can be used to fill the victory, but in this era, no matter how large the number of soldiers you mobilize, tens of thousands of soldiers will be wiped out in an instant if a laser cannon is swept by the opponent.

The ministers of the Kyington Kingdom don't want their country's technological level to be far superior to other countries, as long as they are almost on par with the Chinese Alliance and the European and American empires--in the past, this was just an unattainable pipe dream for them , but now that Qiao Qiao's arrival has allowed them to see the dawn of their dreams coming true.

Of course, due to the relatively low starting point, it will take years or even decades to realize this dream, but as long as they have hope, they will never stop moving forward.

Unknowingly, the support rate of the "queen" Qiao Qiao among the courtiers and even the people continued to rise.At first, everyone only accepted Mandel because of his persistence, but now, they are thankful that their king has chosen such an excellent partner.

For such a change, Mandel remained calm and neither supported nor opposed it; Qiaoqiao heard it occasionally, but he didn't take it to heart—even, whenever he heard others call him "queen" in private, the poor The little devil would break out in a cold sweat, for fear that Mandel would be upset that he had taken the position of the partner of the other party, and then he would bring him in front of him and torture him.

In order to prevent the above "tragedies", Jojo hid Mandel more frequently, like a mouse living under the nose of a cat, not daring to appear in front of him easily.

At the same time, he tried his best to explain to others that he was not a "queen", but unfortunately, whenever he said that, the audience would smile tacitly and ridicule him for "too thin-skinned".

Jojo, who can almost perfectly speak for the thick-skinned words: "……………………… QAQ"

——Please, please be merciful! ! !

Just when Qiaoqiao was racking his brains on how to reduce his sense of presence in front of his host, and almost thought that he had succeeded, Mandel, who had endured for a long time and finally couldn't bear it, slipped out of the research institute.

Standing cautiously in front of Mandel like a quail, Qiao Qiao looked innocent: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Recently, you are really busy." Mandel sat behind the large desk, resting his chin on one hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's, okay?" Qiao Qiao blinked, tentatively claiming credit for his host, "I designed several new types of ship mechs and weapons, and there is news from the arsenal that the samples will be assembled soon. Finished, if there is no problem, then we can start mass production!"

"Well, I know all of this, and they reported it to me." Mandel nodded, with a real smile and thanks finally in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work!" Qiao Qiao is simply a model of "give some sunshine and it will be brilliant". When he noticed that his host's mood improved, his eyes lit up, and he immediately changed from a wilting sapling to a straight young white poplar. Can't wait to hit the snake with the stick, "I'm really happy to be able to help Brother Mandel!"

It's a pity that just after he expressed his sincerity, his host added a "but" with a half-smile.

The little devil who suddenly became languid: "………………"

——He really hates the word "but" the most!

"But." Mandel's pen tip clicked on the document being reviewed, and his brows raised slightly, "But have you overlooked a little problem?"

"... Ignored... what?" Qiao Qiao asked sincerely.

"Me." Mandel narrowed his eyes slightly, "You ignored me."

Qiao Qiao, who really wanted to ignore Mandel, or was ignored by the other party, could not refute it.

"I thought about it just now, and found that in the past two weeks, except for office hours, I have not seen you at all, and the conversation with you is limited to work matters." Mandel curled the corner of his mouth, "This makes me a little uncomfortable .”

"...I thought Brother Mandel would be upset seeing me..." Qiao Qiao retorted in a low voice.

"Well, I'm really upset to see you." Mandel nodded frankly, not hiding his complex and entangled feelings for Jojo that he didn't even know whether it was love or hate, "But knowing that you are wandering where I can't see Having to fly made me feel even more uncomfortable."

The little devil who found himself going to die no matter whether he moved forward or backward: "………………………… QAQ"

——My own host is really too difficult to serve!

"So, starting today, except for working hours, you must stay in front of me for one... no, two hours." Mandel firmly set the rules, and then "tolerantly" gave him the choice. Power, "If you are too busy to spend time with me during the day, then I can visit you at night."

Be careful, the devil's ass hurts.

"Is there any objection?" Looking at Qiao Qiao's sudden change of expression, Mandel asked in a friendly manner.

Be careful: "……………No, no comments QAQ"

——Now, he really understands what it means to be "accompanied by a king like a tiger"!
