It was still a long time before we reached the Forks area.

Bird sat in his seat, looking at the scenery outside the car window, and reviewed in his mind what he had gained from this trip to Central City.

He opened the system panel.

【Current positions have been updated】

[Current Positions: Butler of the Nader Family (Influence: Weak +), Chief Secretary of the Pan-Magic Movement Party (Influence: Low +), Chief Personal Secretary to the Mayor of Fox District (Influence: Low), Exclusive Assistant to the Research Institute (Influence: Weak), Consultant of Happy Paradise Magazine (Influence: Weak +)]

[Note: Position influence is related to the level of rewards. The higher the influence, the greater the reward.]

A new position has been added: Consultant of Happy Paradise Magazine.

Unfortunately, the distance back to the Fox area is too far, so it is basically useless and is just for show.

The influence of the Nader family and the Nader Institute has increased slightly, reaching (Weak+) and (Weak) respectively.

It’s better than nothing, mainly due to the income earned from the streetlight contract.

As for the biggest gain.

Through public speeches at Owen College, participation in upper-class gatherings, and promotion of pan-magicism, the influence of the pan-magic movement has also risen a small level, reaching (low+), and it seems that it is almost on the verge of breaking through again and rising to a new level.

I remember the last time Avril became the district mayor and her influence first reached (low), the resignation system opened the leadership panel.

Not only can you see more intuitively how useless the district chief is, but you can also give him extra points. He actually went from being completely clueless about government affairs, to being unable to get extra points, to eventually being promoted to an intermediate level little by little.

It can be seen how practical this panel function is.

In addition, giving Sarah some writing skills and Sophia some physical skills played a crucial role.

Bird couldn't help but start looking forward to what kind of rewards he would get when his influence was raised to another level, and whether this resignation system would open up more functions.

So apart from the gains from the resignation system...

Bird's eyes fell humbly on the suitcase beside him.

Separated by a thick layer of suitcase body.

In the compartment of his leather suitcase, two pieces of intimate fabrics, one black and one white, of different styles, lay peacefully. They were two intimate items given to him by the editor-in-chief of "Happy Paradise", the honeydew-flavored Miss Misabel.

this......

Should it be considered a gain?

Bird hesitated a little and felt a little regretful.

What the hell is wrong with me? Is it because of too much pressure? Otherwise, how can I explain why I accepted it? Shouldn't I have formally rejected it on the spot?

What the hell should I do when I get back?

Chapter 153: Arranging work is to make the district chief believe that he is working

Forks area.

Today is also a lazy day.

Avril curled up in the warm and soft velvet bedding, her long golden hair scattered messily on the pillow, her breathing was even and long, and her little face still had a hint of happy blush from deep sleep, obviously immersed in a beautiful dream.

crunch--

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Mary, wearing a black and white maid outfit, walked quietly into the room.

She tiptoed and walked to the sleeping Avril's bed as quietly as possible. After observing the girl's cute sleeping posture for a moment, she smiled and called her softly.

"Wake up, miss," Mary said, "it's time to go to work."

"Well......"

Avril opened her eyes drowsily and asked subconsciously, "What time is it now?"

"Half past one, miss," Mary replied.

"It's only half past one." Avril turned over and closed her eyes again, "I'll sleep for another half an hour."

"But I'll be late for work," Mary hesitated.

"It's okay." Avril said with a relaxed look, "I won't go to work this afternoon. Phoebe will help me deal with it."

"Not going again?" Mary said helplessly, "This is your third time skipping work this week. Is your work as District Chief all right?"

"It's only been three times. I've been very diligent."

"But today is Wednesday," said Mary.

"......It's okay, it's okay."

After a moment of silence, Avril said with a relaxed look, "Phoebe will help me with it. She probably did it, and she never forces me to do too much work."

"But what if Bird knows that you always skip work when he's not around?" Mary thought for a moment and asked.

"Don't mention Bird all the time."

Avril snorted coldly, "Always meddling in this and that. This isn't allowed, that isn't allowed. Every policy I propose gets me lectured. They even control the amount of my pocket money—Humph, I'm an adult, not a child! How can they be so strict?"

"This time it's even worse. He's going to the capital with Sarah and Sophia, but not me. He said he has serious business to attend to, not to have fun—what does he mean? Is he saying that I'm just going to have fun with him?"

In fact, this is the real reason, right?

Mary couldn't help but complain in her heart, then she looked at the district chief who had almost become a useless man after Bird had been away for only half a month, and she couldn't help but sighed, feeling that being so lazy was not a solution.

But she was just a maid.

Besides, Bird is not going to come back. He can just tell him that Avril skipped work. He doesn't need to play the bad guy and lower his impression in the lady's mind.

Exit the room and close the door.

Mary was just thinking about what to prepare for dinner.

A man dressed in a formal suit, a silk hat and meticulously groomed clothes appeared at the corner of the corridor and strode towards Avril's room.

"Bird?"

Mary was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she immediately reached out to stop him: "Hey, you're finally back? You're just in time, I have something to tell you..."

"what happened?"

Bird was stunned for a moment.

Mary immediately explained Avril's absence from work during this period, and then added, "By the way, don't say it was me who said it."

After listening to Mary's report, Bird frowned and asked, "Besides skipping work, she didn't do anything, did she?"

"Forehead......"

Mary thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so. I just drink tea and bask in the sun at home, and go out and play."

"What about the government?"

Bird asked: "Did she come up with anything out of the ordinary?"

"Um, I'm not sure about the specifics, but it seems not," Mary replied. "After all, from what I've heard, it seems like Miss Phoebe has been in charge of all the recent work. Miss Avril seems to just sign documents every day and basically does nothing else."

"That's no problem." Bird's frown gradually relaxed, revealing a smile. "What a surprise! The District Chief has been performing very well over the past two weeks."

Mary: “???”

No, how can he behave well even though he skips work everyday?

"Oh, my dear Mary."

Seeing her confused expression, Bird raised an eyebrow and smiled, "As long as the District Chief doesn't cause trouble, it will be a great help - as for the work she is usually assigned, most of it is just to find something for her to do, just to give the District Chief something to do."

"Don't those jobs keep the government running?" Mary asked.

"No, no, no. The main purpose of assigning her tasks is to make the mayor feel that he is working hard to keep the government running," Bird corrected.

Mary: “???”

"Okay, enough of this long-awaited chat." Bird straightened his collar. "I've been out for over half a month, so it's time for me to go back to the office. I'm sure there's a lot of work I need to take care of."

"What about Miss Avril?"

Mary subconsciously asked, "Should we let her continue to sleep?"

"Hmm... let me think about it." Bird frowned and thought for a moment. "Well, taking a nap for too long doesn't seem healthy. She might stay awake at night and come to bother me. I better go get her to get up and move around."

Mary: “…”

Although Avril had to be woken up, the reason was completely different from what she imagined!

While Mary was stunned.

Bird had already opened the door to Avril's bedroom.

His movements were not so gentle, and the creaking sound of the door immediately woke up Avril who was in a daze.

Thinking it was Mary who had returned, she didn't even open her eyes. She just turned over and complained dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say you would call me in half an hour?"

But the man who entered did not answer.

Avril felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it.

After all, the only people in the villa who could enter her room directly like this were Mary and Bird. Bird was on a business trip, so who else could it be but Mary?

Could it be that Bird just happened to come back suddenly?

It was more likely that Mary acted like Bird on purpose to scare her out of bed.

"Mary, don't scare me by pretending to be Bird. I won't go to work today." Thinking of this, Avril closed her eyes and said, "Even if he really came back now and stood next to me, I wouldn't be scared. Let alone if it was you pretending to be him. There's no way you could scare me."

"It's just the right thing for him to come. I'm going to give him a good scolding."

"He's always so arrogant, asking me to do this and that, and he always likes to be a riddler. Now it's time for him to know who the true head of the Nader family is."

She said confidently.

at this time.

"Oh, is that so?" A calm male voice echoed in the bedroom.

Chapter 154 Get up, or you'll get into trouble

Bird???

Hearing the familiar voice that usually made her feel at ease, Avril was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Her original sleepiness disappeared without a trace. She was no longer sleepy all of a sudden, and she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.

"I never thought you'd always look at me like this."

Bird stood by the bed with a dark look on his face.

I was planning to praise this idiot, but when I heard these words as soon as I walked in, my original intention to praise him disappeared immediately.

It’s not that I can’t stand the praise, but that my blood pressure rises before I get the chance to be praised.

"me......."

Avril suddenly stuttered.

Although I really want to give in.

The words had already been said, but she finally gritted her teeth, raised her golden little head, and said stubbornly: "Well, so what, I didn't say anything wrong."

What Avril didn't notice was that with this movement, her pajamas, which already looked empty because the buttons were loose, suddenly opened a lot, revealing a small part of her soft and tender body. Although it was pitifully small, it still swayed slightly with the movement, making it difficult for people to focus their eyes.

The words Bird was about to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't open his mouth for a while.

Blood quickly transfers from one brain to another, the rigorous neural circuits become loose, and thinking is suddenly interrupted.

Avril's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she thought he was speechless. She immediately puffed out her chest even more proudly: "Nothing to say, right? I'm the head of the family, Bird, you should respect my opinions a little more and be more honest with me."

Bird glanced at the delicate white spot again and thought for a moment, "Mr. District Chief, sometimes being too frank isn't necessarily a good thing. You might consider toning down a bit..."

"Who said that?"

Avril snorted coldly, puffing out her chest even more. "I've always been very honest! I believe that you should treat people with complete sincerity. Only when you treat others with sincerity can they trust you. Do you think I'm right?"

That is indeed too sincere, or rather almost too open-minded.

The person was showing her underwear without realizing it, and Bird was almost able to see the red spots. He had no choice but to look away, as the saying goes, a gentleman should not look at anything inappropriate.

"You're right."

Bird looked up at the ceiling. "But I think it's better not to be too honest about things that are too personal..."

"As a politician, there's no such thing as privacy." Avril put on the righteous expression she used during a speech and spoke passionately, "Politicians have no secrets from the people! If they have secrets, it means they're secretly doing things that are detrimental to the people. As an upright district mayor, I'm never afraid of so-called revelations..."

After a while of babble, she noticed Bird's strange behavior and frowned, "Bird, why do you keep looking up at the ceiling?"
