Chapter 567 Something Is Wrong
Smith forced a smile and returned to the unit. He barely managed to cope with the day, and he couldn't wait to leave as soon as he got off work.
Behind him, the employees of the Power Department were still discussing: "You see, our minister has a good attitude. He is not confused at all after being promoted, and he goes to get off work on time."
What is this? This is the demeanor of a general.
Of course, they didn't know that Smith didn't even take the department's car, but called a carriage.
"Go to No. 1 Park Avenue!"
The carriage drove slowly all the way. When it arrived, Minister Smith lifted a corner of the curtain.
He actually came to see the situation here a long time ago. After all, it was his daughter's new industry, so it was normal to care about it.
But he was worried all day whether this magazine society would be closed.
As for the worries during the day, in fact, it shouldn't be that serious if you think about it calmly.
After all, he is a top bureaucrat. His children's crimes are at most scolded, and they won't really go back home to farm.
But now we see that the magazine is calm.
"Go through the back door."
The carriage slowly circled around, and the back door was busy, but it was just a convoy rushing to pick up the magazines.
Time Entertainment Magazine became a big hit that day, and businesses were looking for profits, so they naturally had to increase the number of issues.
So Time Entertainment Magazine began to print additional issues in broad daylight to meet market needs.
As for the imagined ban, it didn't exist at all.
If Smith hadn't seen the magazine in His Majesty's hand in the morning, he would have thought that the emperor's family was still unaware.
"Could it be... my face?"
Smith was a little proud, and it was normal to think so.
After all, he was a technical talent, the pillar of the Ministry of Electric Power, and had made a lot of contributions to the empire in recent years.
His Majesty cherishes talents, so maybe he would let him off.
The more Smith thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
He gave the carriage money and sent the driver away.
In fact, his actions around Time Entertainment Magazine had already attracted the attention of the guards in the dark.
If he hadn't gotten off the carriage, someone would have come to test him.
It wasn't until he saw Smith's face that the internal guards lifted their guard.
Minister Smith, who was born as a scholar, had no vigilance at all. If it were other ministers who were born in the military, they would have noticed something was wrong a long time ago.
He walked into the magazine office, busy up and down.
The editor who was still muttering about insulting art yesterday was now running up and down the most vigorously.
"Hurry up and print. If there are not enough people, I will bring the field trip team with me.
This is the first shot of our magazine office, and we must not let it down."
The sales of the magazine exploded, and he was full of energy.
Art? Let art go to hell.
Minister Smith stood for a long time, but no one greeted him.
Some people even thought he was blocking the way and drove him aside.
Minister Smith was not angry, but touched his head and looked at him with a smile: "No wonder Claire wanted to spread rumors."
After looking for a long time, he finally saw Claire.
"Dad? Why are you here?" Claire was surprised, and did not bother to call other people, and quickly took Smith to the sixth floor.
As soon as Smith went upstairs, his face became serious.
He sat on the sofa and looked at Claire with a dark face: "You can't print this magazine. Do you know what a crime it is to fabricate the family affairs of the royal family? If it weren't for your father's face, the Investigation Department would have come to arrest people now."
Claire realized that she had forgotten her parents' reaction, but she reacted quickly and thought of a reason soon.
Just for her father's face? She subconsciously looked out the window. The pancake stall opposite was shouting. Qin remembered that the stall was set up by the Investigation Department.
How could I not know that they wanted to arrest me?
Claire said with a strange look on her face: "Dad, have you forgotten Charlie's last name?"
"Perez?" Minister Smith reacted: "What kind of relationship can a collateral branch have with the royal family? Don't fool me."
"Haha, this is what you, a big bureaucrat, don't know! Charlie is a collateral branch, but he is also the cousin of the eldest prince. It's very easy to meet him.
Charlie asked his cousin the prince for a favor. Do you think it's difficult?" Claire looked righteous and frightened Minister Smith.
"Is that so?" Minister Smith muttered to himself. He really didn't understand the complex relationship between nobles.
My family has been commoners for eight generations. If it weren't for the good policies of the empire, I'm afraid I would still be copying books for others.
So although I have some contact with the nobles, it's just superficial contact. Smith really doesn't know the relationship in the other party's circle.
This makes sense. His Majesty is of course in a state of mind to watch the younger generation of his family do some new tricks.
Minister Smith was a little embarrassed. It turned out that he was narcissistic.
Touching his nose to cover up, he changed the subject and said, "I didn't expect Charlie to have such a connection."
So, Plan City is too weird. Who knows what kind of background this inconspicuous guy has.
Charlie, the son of a knight, can even be linked to the emperor. It's too exaggerated.
Since the biggest hidden danger has been eliminated, Smith is relieved.
He got up and started to stroll around, wanting to see what shortcomings his daughter's magazine has.
After all, he has been the director of the Electric Power Department for several years, and his basic abilities have been honed.
It's also good to take this opportunity to show his father's ability in front of his daughter.
After all, his daughter is too smart, and he has no sense of accomplishment as a father.
But after a round, he was depressed. This magazine was not big, but it was well organized. He walked around for a few times and only found a few minor problems, such as a few less trash cans.
But the Minister of the Ministry of Electricity only picked out such a small problem. Doesn't it seem very unprofessional?
Just thinking about it, there was a click and the power tripped.
Minister Smith was excited. This is his specialty!
"I'll ask your senior brother to bring people to fix it."
Before Minister Smith finished speaking, a team of technicians wearing Ministry of Electricity uniforms appeared.
"President Claire, don't worry, our Ministry of Electricity maintenance team is here."
Minister Smith was confused. No... We were promoted today. We haven't even changed our clothes. How come you have the three big words "Ministry of Electricity" written on your clothes.
And why didn't I know that there was a maintenance team here?
"Something is wrong, very wrong."
Minister Smith glanced at his daughter, and suddenly clapped his hands in the face of Claire's guilty look: "It must be your senior brother who did this without telling me. If I use public resources for personal purposes, won't people say I am partial?"
Claire breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to keep it a secret for a few days, and then let Qin confess himself.
Seeing that her father had made up an excuse, she immediately said: "Yes, it was sent by my senior brother. Father, don't make trouble here, go home first."
