My Prime Minister is so cute

The next day.

Forks District, District Mayor's Office.

Avril sat behind the district chief's desk, supporting her chin with both hands, and said with a deep look in her eyes: "Phoebe..."

Phoebe, who was processing official documents, looked up and said, "Mr. District Chief, what can I do for you?"

"What a leisure time."

Avril stretched.

"......." Phoebe was silent for a moment. "Mr. District Head, could you please not use such a serious tone and say such meaningless things?"

Bird has been very busy recently, so he gradually handed over some of the less important tasks to his secretary.

Among them is the schedule for the district mayor.

However, unlike Bird, Phoebe did not choose to fill Avril's schedule with some meaningless schedules. Instead, she made selective arrangements and left time for the district mayor to arrange it independently. She also chose to handle some official documents herself.

If you are an ambitious politician.

This self-arranged time is enough for them to deal with some accumulated matters on their own, reflect on policy issues, engage in some pioneering thinking, and plan future administration.

But for Avril.

“Self-arrangement” = “holiday”.

This led to the district chief becoming idle and starting to talk nonsense in the office.

“But I’m really free.”

Avril tapped the table idly, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey, Phoebe, do you think there's any proposal that would benefit the people, isn't too complicated, won't cause conflict, and still demonstrate the importance of the district mayor and spark enough discussion?"

"..."

Phoebe put her hand to her forehead. "Mr. Mayor, there is no such convenient proposal."

"Really not?"

Avril asked without giving up: "Do you want to think about it again?"

"There's no point in even thinking about it." Phoebe said speechlessly, "Besides, you just want to be in the newspaper, right?"

"Oh, who said that? I didn't want to be in the newspaper."

Avril immediately retorted, but after thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "If it's in the newspaper, is there anything we can do?"

Phoebe thought for a moment and said, "Well, how about giving a speech?"

"That's too ordinary. No one will watch it."

Avril denied it with a lack of interest, but then something occurred to her: "Hey, what do you say we go ask Bird?"

"Mr. Bird doesn't have such a convenient proposal."

Phoebe said, "Besides, Mr. Bird has been very busy lately. He probably doesn't have time to think about this."

"Very busy?"

Avril curled her lips and said a little dissatisfiedly, "Bird is really something. He's obviously my secretary, but he doesn't even have the time to help me think about policy. I haven't seen him recently. I wonder where he's been playing."

"If you want to know, you can ask him directly."

Phoebe said.

"What's the point of asking? He won't say anything he doesn't want to say anyway."

Avril complained, "Maybe he's with some girl right now, but I have no idea. I thought he was working."

Phoebe glanced at the district chief, who had a resentful look on his face because he hadn't seen Bird recently. "Are you worried that he'll fall in love with someone else?"

Avril: “?!”

"You, what are you talking about?" Avril panicked and raised her voice. "I don't care who he likes! He's just my secretary! I'm just worried that his focus is not on work and that he's delaying his government work..."

Just when the district chief blew himself up.

The office door was pushed open from the outside, and Bird walked in with a cheerful face: "Good afternoon, District Chief, I have good news."

Seeing Bird come in, Avril's eyes lit up: "Bird, what's the good news?"

"Is such that."

Bird said with a smile, "I have a proposal that will benefit the people, isn't too complicated, won't cause conflict, and will demonstrate your importance as District Mayor, and spark sufficient discussion."

Phoebe: “?”

"Were you eavesdropping outside just now?" the secretary couldn't help but ask.

"What eavesdropping?" Bird asked back.

"Nothing." Phoebe thought about it and felt that eavesdropping was not reliable.

But if we rule out eavesdropping, it only shows that Bird knows the District Chief very well and knows exactly what he wants...

As expected, when Avril heard about a proposal that "can benefit the people, is not too complicated, will not cause conflicts, can also reflect the importance of you, the district mayor, and can trigger enough discussion", her face was full of anticipation.

"You see, I knew Bird would have a way."

The district chief first showed off his foresight to Phoebe, then turned around and asked expectantly, "Bird, what exactly is it?"

Bird smiled and said, "I'm ready. Right here."

As he said this, he took out a complete proposal from his pocket, with the title written in four big words - "Bright Plan"

"Project Bright?"

Avril took the proposal, flipped through two pages, and then felt a black screen in front of her eyes.

She simply put down the proposal and asked directly, "What's in it?"

“As proposed.”

Bird clasped his fingers together and explained seriously, "In order to develop new tracks, resolve existing pain points, improve time utilization, enhance residents' happiness and safety, reduce informal activities during non-standard time periods, and increase the frequency of formal activities, this proposal envisions purchasing appropriate magical and technological equipment, and carrying out corresponding in-depth renovations of the town's streets..."

Avril: “Huh?”

【Evaluation: Light! 】

[Reward: Flash Magic/50 Experience]

【Flash Magic (Low Level)】

【Note: Everyone, look at me!】

The second spell, but why is it another control skill? Is my fighting style doomed to fail? First, I start a fight with a sonic boom, then a flash bomb to blind people?

"in short."

After silently complaining inwardly, Bird, who had received his daily reward, stopped talking nonsense: "It's just to build street lights on both sides of the street to provide night lighting."

"Street lights?" Avril was stunned. "You mean, our county should be like Central City, with magic lights lighting up every street?"

She couldn't help but frowned tightly. "Theoretically, it's possible, but the price is too high, right? Although I also want to be in the newspaper, it will cost a little more. Will we have to pay for it ourselves..."

"Oh, of course not with the magic lamp." Bird smiled. "Mr. District Chief, times have changed. Magic lamps are a thing of the past."

"Please allow me to solemnly introduce to you the lighting tool of the new era - the electric light!"

Chapter 122: The District Chief said: "Let there be light"

Following Bird's speech.

A strong man walked in from outside the office, carrying a street lamp.

This is a street lamp with the simplest structure that Sophia urgently made. The lower part is a large black box, inside of which is a simplest version of a magic motor, which can be opened to replace the magic stone inside; in the middle is a wooden stake, wrapped with an electrified copper wire, which is not made too long for demonstration purposes; the top of the wooden stake is connected to the main light-emitting part, an inverted waterproof cover, inside of which are two thick carbon rods.

"what is this?"

Avril and Phoebe both looked at each other with curiosity.

"This is the latest and most fashionable electric light." Bird took out two pairs of sunglasses and said, "Ladies, please put these on. It might be a bit dazzling later."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Avril was puzzled and said, "I've seen those kinds of street lights before, they're just dim lights..."

Bird: "Believe me, it's really bright."

After the two men put on their sunglasses, Bird asked the strong man to turn on the street light. Suddenly, the blinding white light illuminated the entire office, and the people in the office looked as if they were illuminated by a flash bomb.

Bright.

too bright.

Even with sunglasses on, Avril bravely looked straight at the streetlight and silently shed two lines of tears: "Bird, how can it be so bright?"

Bird also shed two lines of tears.

It was different from the model in the laboratory. I heard that it was going to be used as a street lamp, so Sophia deliberately increased the luminous power, which was a little unbearable even with sunglasses on.

"Cough cough."

Bird coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. "Anyway, this electric lamp works much better as a street light than a magic lamp. One can easily replace three."

Phoebe next to him had already started thinking.

As a resident of the capital, she had seen the magic lights on both sides of the streets since she was a child.

Although expensive, it is precisely because of these magic lights that illuminate the dark night that the residents of the capital dare to travel and play at night, which has led to the prosperity of commercial trade. At the same time, it has also played a significant role in reducing the crime rate, making it a place that everyone in the country yearns for.

And the light in front of her, just as Bird said, this thing called a light was indeed much brighter than the magic lamp she had seen.

"Good stuff!"

Avril's eyes lit up.

Phoebe asked, "Mr. Bird, how much is this light bulb?"

"Well, it's not expensive, just this amount." Bird said, holding up three fingers.

"300?"

Phoebe was surprised and said, "So cheap? Doesn't that mean it can be promoted nationwide, or at least in most cities?"

She could already imagine a future where the entire country was brightly lit at night.

"Um......"

Bird gave an awkward but polite smile: "Guess again?"

"3000?"

Phoebe calmed down instantly.

300 is still okay, but 3000 is a bit of a rip-off. Although this price is indeed much cheaper than the magic lamp, it is still a huge expense.

Avril also frowned, a look of hesitation on her face.

"One lamp costs 3000. To see the full effect, you'd need at least 100. That alone would cost over 30. That doesn't even include the subsequent construction, maintenance, and daily expenses. It could cost a million." She hesitated. "Spending so much tax money on streetlights, will the council approve? It's too much trouble no matter how you think about it!"

"Ahem." Bird coughed twice. "Mr. District Chief, aren't you curious where this light bulb came from?"

"Where did it come from?"

Avril asked curiously.

"This light bulb comes from the Nader Institute we founded," Bird said solemnly. "It's the institute's first achievement, a brilliant accomplishment worth celebrating."

"Eh?"

Avril was stunned for a moment: "Doesn't that mean that the money for buying street lights will come to us?"

"That's right," Bird said with a smile. "The money from purchasing the street lamps will be deposited into your account and used to fund research so that we can develop even better lamps in the future."

"That's not appropriate, is it?"

Avril thought for a moment and said, "A million dollars wasted just to install street lights?"

"How is it a waste?" Bird said with a look of deep sorrow. "Think about it. First of all, installing streetlights is another construction project. And in the future, we'll need to set up positions to have dedicated people to handle the daily switching and maintenance of the streetlights. This can solve the employment problem for some people."

"Secondly, installing street lights can improve residents' happiness, reduce nighttime crime rates, and increase their likelihood of traveling at night, indirectly promoting business and economic prosperity."

"The research institute also received funding to continue research and development; researchers received commissions, which can increase their work enthusiasm."

"Finally, imagine how the newspapers will report on this great achievement of yours."
