Chapter 225 Integrity, Passion, and Democracy

Inside the administration building.

The conference room, which should have been turned off on time, was now brightly lit.

Because of a temporary mission, the current highest-ranking officer in the base, Lieutenant General Edwin, called all the generals and colonels who remained in the base.

Si Ming needed to deal with the official business that had piled up due to being away for a day, so he was still in the office at this time. Now, with a command, he was directly "invited" over by the soldiers sent by Edwin.

Sitting below Edwin, Si Ming said nothing the entire time.

When Edwin finally finished talking about the business, Si Ming was about to get up and leave when he heard Edwin's voice coming from the upper seat: "Okay, business is over, now let's talk about the Mecha League."

Mecha League?

Everyone looked at each other with confusion when they heard this.

To date, the Mecha League has been held for more than a hundred sessions. It has always been overseen by the Second World Mastermind and supervised by the major legions. According to common sense, no legion should directly intervene.

Even if the royal family attends, they are just treated as mascots.

Why should this matter be discussed at the Fifth Army meeting?

"Since when has our Fifth Army been in charge of the Mecha League?" Si Ming hurried back to see if his little wife had kicked the quilt. When he heard this, impatience immediately appeared in his eyes.

"In recent years, the royal family has selected a representative to preside over the Mecha League. However, based on comprehensive data, the public doesn't seem to buy it." Edwin asked his adjutant to distribute the data sent by the main brain.

After everyone got theirs, Edwin glanced towards Si Ming, intentionally or unintentionally. "This year, fewer people are paying attention to the Mecha League than in previous years. Even fewer new students are participating. So, the royal family proposed to the marshal that each of our major legions send one person this year."

"Send someone?" A senior colonel who had always been at odds with Si Ming noticed Edwin looking at Si Ming and said with a deliberate smile, "Are you trying to promote a brand and generate buzz? Then do we still need to choose our Fifth Army?"

Si Ming has a good family background and a good image, and he is also the youngest major general in the empire.

In the hearts of the people of the empire, he himself is a living signboard.

Not to mention anything else, even the public relations system within the Fifth Army often pulled Si Ming out to do publicity.

It can be said that Edwin and the colonel were unwilling to hide their actions.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Si Ming, their eyes filled with understanding and interest.

It was obvious that this group of people had clearly agreed to let Si Ming handle this cheap job.

As Si Ming's personal guard and adjutant, Ning Yuan also participated in the meeting. Seeing that Si Ming had a dark face and looked impatient, and had no intention of paying any attention to Edwin at all, he wanted to stand up and rescue his major general.

Unexpectedly, when Ning Yuan moved his lips and was about to speak, Edwin, who was sitting at the top, glanced at him and signaled him to shut up.

When great masters fight, the cannon fodder suffers.

Ning Cannon Fodder Yuan paused and decided to wait and see.

Edwin, who had been deliberately trying to trick Si Ming, was satisfied when he saw Ning Yuan was silent. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Si Ming, what do you think?"

What does he think?

Raising his eyelids, Si Ming glanced upwards indifferently, like an outsider, as if nothing anyone said could affect him.

bite--

At the meeting.

There were a few people who thought it was their own light computers that rang, and subconsciously looked down at their light computers. When they found out it was not their light computers that rang, they started looking at the people around them.

In the end, what surprised everyone was that they saw Si Ming, who always turned off his computer whenever he had a meeting, actually moved!

Facing a stream of surprised and inquiring gazes, Si Ming's expressionless, icy face seemed to relax a little. He raised his wrist, and after checking the information, it was like an iceberg melting. His face was no longer sour, and the coldness around him also subsided a lot.

Suppressing the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, Si Ming replied to the message and gave Edwin a look: "It's getting late. Let me know when the discussion comes out."

"???" Edwin was stunned by Si Ming's words and subconsciously asked back, "You don't care anymore? Have you agreed to take charge of the Mecha League?"

"Yeah." Pushing the chair away and slowly standing up, Si Ming straightened his collar, nodded at everyone and prepared to walk out of the meeting room.

That back figure didn't seem to be forced.

On the contrary, there is a hint.

Joy and impatience?

"Wait!" Edwin realized something was wrong and stood up quickly, his hands on the table. "Why are you so anxious? We in the Fifth Army have always been very democratic. If you don't want to, we can still discuss it."

"Democracy?" Si Ming stopped, half turned sideways, glanced at everyone present, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I won't go. You can ask someone else to go."

Everyone: “.”

Edwin was choked by Si Ming, his face turned blue and black, but he didn't know how to refute. Fortunately, at this time, Si Ming's light brain rang again, this time it was not a ding, but a video call came in.

Looking at the notes that popped up on the computer, Si Ming hesitated for the first time.

My little wife seems to be walking a little fast.

He was hit before he could get away.

"No wonder you are so anxious, it turns out that Miss Ye is looking for you!" Edwin came over when Si Ming was hesitating, and saw the note Si Ming gave to Ye Jiaojiao, 'little wife', at a glance, and got goosebumps out of nowhere.

The next second, his eyes rolled around, and he suddenly thought of something: "Miss Ye is here to see you? It's just right, everyone is here, you kid, don't even think about running away today, just introduce your wife to us!"

Everyone: “!!!” Wife!!!

"Is the Major General married?! I haven't heard of it!!!"

"It should be a secret marriage, right? There is absolutely no news from the outside world. It must have been suppressed by the Major General."

"Major General Si's wife? Isn't that the young lady of the Si family? I remember that the only foreign lady in the base recently seemed to be the gourmet expert? Could that be the wife of the Major General?"

"Is he the one who helped Yan Han improve his mental strength?"

"That must be her."

"Wow!!! This is incredible!!!"

Si Ming brought Ye Jiaojiao back to the Si family to meet his parents today. Only Edwin, Ning Yuan and others knew that he and Ye Jiaojiao had registered their marriage.

The officers of the Fifth Army were largely unaware of this.

At first hearing this, even the second coldest-tempered colonel in the Fifth Army pricked up his ears and listened to the gossips exchanged by the gossipers next door.

Si Ming's face was stern. He glanced coldly at Edwin, who didn't look him in the eye, and his colleagues who were excited in the meeting room. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Wait, I'll go pick her up."

Outside the administration building.

Ye Jiaojiao stood in front of the intelligent detector, observing it curiously. She heard steady footsteps in the distance. Looking up, she saw her Taoist partner appear at the elevator entrance, walking towards her. "A Ming!"

"Jiaojiao." Si Ming took the large lunch box from Ye Jiaojiao's hand very naturally when he came up to her. With his other hand, he gently touched his wife's cheek: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Are you cold?"

"It's not cold." Standing on her little feet, Ye Jiaojiao rubbed her palm against Si Ming's, letting him feel her warmth: "Are you done, Ming? I hope I didn't disturb you?"
