Sei Itō pressed the internal communication button and said, "Oh yeah, inform Milei, who is currently working as a news reporter at the TV station, to come to the City Hall."
"Milei? Milei Ashford? "Veletta was confused when she heard Sei Itō's order.
"Yes." Sei Itō smiled and nodded. Before Veletta could ask anything, he explained, "I took a look at your management style on the way here. I noticed that your management style is very similar to Britannia's military management style. Although this method can increase administrative efficiency, it's not very suitable for city management. After all, this isn't a military colony of Britannia. It's a city under our control. "
"You're planning to …" Veletta frowned and said hesitantly.
"That's right. I'm planning to arrange for Milei Ashford to enter the City Hall to assist you in managing your affairs." Ito Sei smiled and confirmed Veletta's guess. Then, he got up from his seat and walked to Veletta. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek as he explained, "Don't be fooled by Milei's usual careless and unreliable appearance. After all, she is a descendant of the Ashford Family. She has been exposed to the most orthodox aristocratic education since she was young. When it comes to dealing with hidden matters and interests, she is much more tactful than you."
"Also, Milei is good at using people and motivating people. You should still remember how Ashford Academy was under her management, right?" Sei Itō smiled as he pulled back his hand.
Veletta couldn't help but recall the time when she lost her memory. She recalled the time when she accompanied Sei Itō to Ashford Academy. She nodded silently.
"But Milei likes to slack off and play around. So you have to supervise her from time to time. Don't overdo it. Milei knows what's important and what's not, "Sei Itō said.
"Okay." Veletta nodded.
Sei Itō didn't say anything else. He walked back to the main seat and turned on the quantum computer on the table. He connected to the internet and started playing.
"Dang, dang, dang." 20 minutes later, someone knocked on the door. Sei Itō's attention was pulled back from the computer.
"Come in." Veletta shouted.
"Creak." After that, the door was immediately opened from the outside. Then the female secretary reappeared in front of Ito Sei and said, "Sir, Miss Mirai is here."
"Ask her to come in." Ito Sei withdrew his hands from the keyboard, crossed his fingers in front of his body, put his elbows on the table, and looked at the female secretary and said.
After receiving the order, the female secretary moved to the side. She was wearing a yellow blouse with light golden threads on the surface, a white blouse with hundred-fold laces on both sides from the collar to the buttons, and a yellow professional short skirt. A pair of slender, white, and tender legs were directly exposed to the air. On her feet, she wore a pair of white strip-style short sandals that exposed her feet. Her slightly wavy blonde hair naturally draped over her shoulders, and a beautiful woman walked in.
"Bang." After Mi Lei entered the room. The secretary tactfully closed the door and continued to work outside.
"Long time no see, President Milei. You're still as beautiful as ever." Sei Itō put down his hands and praised her with a smile.
"Long time no see indeed. Sir Sei Itō, "Milei said politely. Mi Lei said maturely and politely. At the same time, a sense of distance could be felt from her words.
"Do you have to be so distant?" Sei Itō sighed.
"May I know why you called me here?" Milei was silent for a moment. She changed the topic.
"Milei, we were schoolmates. Don't be so distant," Sei Itō said with a frown. He then explained why he called her here.
"I called you here because I have a job for you," Sei Itō paused for a second and continued, "I'm going to appoint you as the mayor of this city."
Milei, who had been calm, was surprised when she heard Sei Itō's words. She looked at Sei Itō for confirmation.
"Don't doubt it, I do plan to do so, and I'm going to announce your appointment directly at the city management meeting." Ito Sei said.
"… I'm sorry. I can't do that," Milei said after a moment of silence.
At this moment, Villetta frowned.
"Why?" Sei Itō asked.
Milei didn't answer. She was still silent.
"Millie Ashford," Veletta said in a low voice.
"Ashford … I haven't heard anyone call me that in a long time." Milei was stunned when she heard Veletta's voice.
Sei Itō got up from his seat and slowly walked to Milei. He looked at her and asked, "Are you mad at me for bringing you here?"
"No. I was the one who chose to come here. I won't blame anyone else for this," Milei shook her head and said softly.
"If that's the case, why didn't you accept this position?" Sei Itō asked.
"Because I don't think I have the ability to manage a city. I can't accept this position," Milei took a deep breath and answered.
"If that's the only reason, then it's not a problem." Sei Itō smiled. "You can learn if you don't know how to manage a city. After all, everyone has things they don't know. As long as you work hard, I believe you will be able to take on this position with your talent. Plus, you won't be working alone. You have other staff to help you. Even if something goes wrong, I will help you clean it up. So, you can take on this position without any worries."
"… Alright then. If you think I can do it, sir." Milei sighed.
"Mi Lei, you …" Ito Mori was about to say something, but a knock on the door immediately interrupted him on the spot.
"Come in." Veletta gestured.
"Sir, Chief, it's time for the meeting." The secretary opened the door and said to Sei Itō and Veletta.
"Okay." Sei Itō said. He then looked at Milei and said, "Let's go to the meeting first. After the meeting, I want to talk to you about Milei."
Without waiting for Milei's reply, he walked out of the door. Then, under the guidance of the secretary, he walked to the city council meeting room. Behind him, Veletta walked to Milei's side and followed along with Milei.
The four of them walked through the corridor and came to a large meeting room.
Around the oval table, there were more than 30 people in the meeting room. The representatives of the large laboratory, Lloyd, Cecil, Lakshata, Erica, and Selene, Professor Asmo and Emma from the Plant biological laboratory, several laboratory leaders from other fields, representatives from other industries, Sakuraba Sei, and the actual managers of the space battleship Archangel, Marlow and Bucky Lulu.
"Let's start the meeting." Under the guidance of the secretary, Ito Sei walked to the only reserved seat and sat down. After Villeta, the secretary, and Mirei sat down, Ito Sei announced.
"There are two main reasons for this meeting. The first is to announce the next step of the city's construction plan. The second is to talk about the situation of the various industries in the city. I want to hear your reports."
"Now, let's talk about the first one, the next step of the city's construction plan." Sei Itō said. Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A laser optical screen instantly appeared in the center of the meeting room. Sei Itō continued, "But before we talk about the plan, I want to tell you one thing. Just this morning, I placed a group of espers in the southeastern suburbs of our city. The image on the screen now is the newly built residential area where the espers were placed. I call it the Esper Residential Area. In the coming days, more espers will be placed there. "
After Sei Itō finished speaking, other than the five people in the lab, Amaru, Bakilulu, Asmo, Emma, Sakura Sei, and a few others who didn't move, the rest of the people started to whisper. Obviously, they were worried about the espers.
"Later, the Electrical Industry Department, remember to send someone to connect the line." Ito Sei ignored their whispers and turned to look at the Electrical Industry Minister and ordered.
"Okay." The person in charge nodded.
"Also, from now on, you will be responsible for the public opinion in the city. Don't let the citizens panic." Sei Itō looked at a middle-aged woman in her forties.
"Yes." The woman replied.
"As for public security, Sei Itō, please pay more attention to it." Sei Itō looked at Sakura Sei.
"I understand." Sakura Sei nodded.
"Now …" Sei Itō knocked on the table to attract the attention of the people who were still whispering. He continued, "Let me talk about the next step of the city's development plan — the National Martial Arts Plan."
"National Martial Arts Plan …" Another commotion was heard in the conference room.
"Quiet." Veletta shouted.
In an instant, all the participants immediately shut their mouths and stayed in place to listen to Ito Sei's words.
"The National Martial Arts Plan is to encourage the citizens to practice martial arts, martial arts, and physical skills through official mobilization." Sei Itō said.
Sakura Sei heard the difference between martial arts, martial arts, and physical skills in Sei Itō's words. She immediately turned to Sei Itō, and the latter nodded in confirmation.
"In order to facilitate the implementation of this plan, I plan to add bonus points for martial arts and martial arts in the personnel assessment." Sei Itō continued.
Instantly, the conference room that had just quieted down became noisy again.
