Chapter 218 Hello
"The issue of the caravan has been dealt with."
Ji Lin handed the record to the official who pushed the door in, and looked at Chongshan's expression of wanting to say something but not saying it, and was a little confused.
He didn't care too much, and told him to remember to take this record to get the seeds after a week. The funds were directly taken from the warehouse. Then take some rare plants collected by the territory on the Sky Island to sell them. If the biological materials don't sell well in the Lord's Market, you might as well try your luck with these natives.
Although Ji Lin didn't trust the caravan very much, he still trusted the old bishop... The caravan was directly under the local bishop.
After all, those orphans who reached the right age were studying courses and receiving education in the academy, and those who were not of the right age were sent to private schools for education. The old bishop himself was quite satisfied with this. After all, the cost of receiving education in the Holy City was too high. If there was no special talent, the tuition fee for one year in a higher education institution was the salary of an ordinary family for ten years.
After explaining the matter to Chongshan, Ji Lin prepared to take a short break in the office.
Working hours always pass quickly. Standing and communicating with the new priests in turn, time has already passed until almost evening.
Unlike other people in the territory, Ji Lin lives in the upper floors of the city hall. The upper floors still retain the residence provided by the system for the lord to live in. The room is not big, but it is simple and comfortable with a modern style.
This is also a small privilege for him as a lord.
Get up and walk down two steps to reach the lord's office in the city hall.
In a sense, it can also be called working from home.
His residence is the office.
In addition, there is also a special lounge in the city hall with a full set of bedding. If you are too tired at work, you can also go to the lounge to open a small room and fall asleep.
This lounge has not been used so far, neither Ji Lin nor his various officers find it troublesome. When you are tired, just hang a do not disturb sign on the door and lie down on the chair in the office to sleep.
Not polite at all.
As for the documents on the desk that he needs to review and process, let's wait until he wakes up.
The number of people in the territory has increased, and the business and things that need to be handled have also increased dramatically, especially now that it is in the training and selection period for grassroots and middle-level government officials, the accumulated work has increased instead of decreased.
The biggest advantage of living at the workplace is that you don't have to waste time commuting, and you can save commuting time for work.
The working hours are flexible, but the documents piled up on the desk will not disappear by themselves. It has always been his passion for building a new territory that supports him to work. Human beings are creatures that can hardly sleep peacefully as long as they dream on their pillows, and they are afraid of doing nothing when the road is in front of them.
Lying on the sofa and falling asleep.
In a half-awake state, a faint milky fragrance penetrated his nose in the haze, and the fragrance was very familiar. His cheeks were a little itchy, as if a few strands fell on his face, and soon they seemed to be blown away by the wind.
There was only a faint smell of flowers and milk mixed together.
But Ji Lin didn't quite remember who the owner of this fragrance was. He must have smelled this fragrance somewhere before. He just felt that it was quite comfortable to fall asleep smelling this kind of scent.
Maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour.
"Work... so tiring..."
He complained in a low voice in a daze.
"Okay."
A soft voice answered him, as if a breeze blew away the fragrance.
The fragrance moved away, and the rustling sound of the pen tip gently rubbing against the paper sounded, long and continuous, and the slight pause was just a small episode.
Accompanied by the white noise that appeared at work, Ji Lin slept more sweetly.
"Well~ I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time."
Ji Lin sat up from the sofa, and wanted to go back to his work position in a daze to continue working. When he approached, he saw that someone was already sitting in his position to help him work.
"Sorry... Ji, did I disturb your rest?"
The lit rune lamp illuminated the girl's cheek with the cold color of the clear moon, and reflected a soft light golden color on the long hair tied behind her. She was wearing a soft white shirt, and a felt coat for warmth, which covered her sharpness with the intellectual tenderness of an academic.
She obviously found that Ji Lin had woken up the first moment he woke up, and stopped the pen in her hand that was swiping across the paper, hiding her excitement and confusion deep in her heart. She hadn't thought about how to face her... complicated leader, who was both a teacher and a friend.
She was not ready, but she couldn't give up the opportunity to meet her leader. Ji Lin's sudden departure made her sad for quite a while, and she scolded and questioned him.
Snap.
The pen broke.
"Jeanna...?"
Ji Lin's head was confused, wondering if he was still dreaming.
Seeing the pile of paperwork that had been basically processed, and the blonde girl sitting in his seat, Ji Lin suddenly hoped that this was reality.
"Sorry, I'm bothering you to help me with my work again."
When he was in Seta, Ji Lin often pulled her into his office to help him handle government affairs. He was drinking tea next to her, sometimes instructing her on what to do here, and sometimes giving her some historical governance problems.
Yes, she is the hope of the future, so she must learn everything a leader has. Just learning the means of fighting cannot change everything she has to face. It is easy to break the old order, but how to establish a completely new order.
That time was his last time in that world, and it was also the time that Jeanna cherished most in her life.
The starting point that changed his destiny.
Ji Lin thought about it, but couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. It was already dark outside the window, and the night was covered with stars. Farther away, the rune lights installed in the territory's buildings were automatically lighting up, flickering on the ground like weak fireflies with orange-yellow firelight, and were arranged neatly along the buildings.
After all, the Jeanne he remembered was full of energy, firm and sharp in action, always wearing a gray officer's uniform, and always had short hair for the convenience of the army - and she could fight ten at a time.
He couldn't even think of Jeanne, who was wearing a military uniform, as a woman, but the army was the army, and there was no difference between men and women in this special profession.
It turns out that light blond hair looks so good when grown long.
Ji Lin stared at Jeanna's face for a long time, until the other person broke the broken pen in her hand again and turned her head slightly to avert Ji Lin's gaze.
Only then did he confirm that her face was 80% similar to what he remembered in his hazy memory. Compared with the roughness that had been battle-tested in his memory, it was soft and white, making people want to reach out and knead it.
After all, unlike Alicia and Gui Yu, this was the first time Ji Lin saw her as a non-combatant.
It was different from the unreal feeling of knowing from the system that she was at peace with him, but when she appeared in person in front of him, the entanglement, the joy and peace of mind that came from his heart, all seemed to really exist.
Even in a dream, the system wouldn't return his hero units to him so quickly, and Jeanne wouldn't dress him up like this... right?
But she, she shouldn't care too much about leaving without saying goodbye, right?
'You have changed a lot'
This sounds like what a scumbag would say.
And it's a very scumbag kind.
‘Is the work done? ’
It would be inappropriate to say something like this at this time.
Ji Lin sighed and thought about what he should do. He looked at Jeanne's clear and bright eyes, and the amber pupils reflected a strange color.
"Lord, the new half-year scientific research plan report has been summarized and I have..."
The dean's voice came from outside the door.
Ji Lin looked at Jeanne, their eyes met, and both of them wanted to escape through the window.
"Just leave it outside, Xu Shan, please excuse me for still working so late at night."
A trace of murderous intent gradually appeared in Jean Naming's eyes, and she informed the dean standing outside the door in a soft voice.
