Scientific research has shown that human eyes cannot cause stress. That is to say, during the double-blind test, normal people cannot judge whether someone is staring at them behind their backs. But when Ed woke up, it was very obvious that someone was watching him, so maybe NT could? He opened his eyes and turned his head, and sure enough, the person beside the pillow smiled and looked at him. It was only the third day, but he found himself getting used to the situation.
"Good morning, Ed." Lux quickly smeared his face, "You finally stopped pressing my hair today. You've made great progress."
"Morning, Lux." He replied dazedly. He didn't get enough sleep last night, and he once again decided that he must go to bed earlier today, although there is a high probability that this could not be achieved, because subjective and objective reasons coexist.
I have to get up no matter how reluctant I am. There is work to be done today, both from Anaheim and from the government, which is more important. Ed was a little speechless about the fact that he had to get up early to go to work after getting into this position. While brushing his teeth, he silently thought that he must retire before the age of 30, and strive to live a life of sleeping until he wakes up naturally every day.
Of course, you have to live the next month before that. In front of Lux, he was boasting, but he still didn't think of a perfect solution.
After having breakfast at home, he went back to his room to pack his things, while Lux changed his clothes and prepared to go out. The clothes were just bought on the weekend. Now the two of them are completely in one room, and the other room is left unused.
"Ed, how is it, does it look good?" Lux, who had changed her clothes, turned around twice in front of him, "This is the first time I wear this."
The teenage girl wears a lady's suit and skirt, and the black socks make her look a little more mature. In fact, it is difficult to wear any clothes with pink hair, but with good looks, you can do whatever you want. When buying clothes, he didn't try them on. This was the first time he saw Lux wearing professional clothes. I have to say that this dress affected his work efficiency in a sense.
"It's okay." He replied calmly without looking sideways, "It's fresh, not bad."
The girl burst out laughing: "Ed, isn't it good for you to be honest with your acting skills so bad? But I'm very happy with your reaction."
When the two packed up and went out, Uruki was already waiting outside in the car, and he and Lux were taken to the office. On the way, Pumu kept looking at him secretly in the rearview mirror, looking strange.
"Hong." Ed was really unable to bear it when he counted to the tenth time with his fingers. "If you have something to say, don't be sneaky, it makes my scalp go numb."
"This, this... Doctor." Uruki hesitated for a while but decided to speak out, "Miss Lux has really become your secretary? Did the joke on the Internet come true?"
"If Lux's wanted is cancelled, he is a free man. Isn't it normal to find a job?" He found that Lux was looking at him with a half-smile, as if she knew everything, "You saw it on the Internet again. What's weird? Forget it, don't tell me, it's not a good thing to guess."
"Doctor, when you visit the Anaheim Forum, you never go to the water area, right? You can go and see, 90% of your many stalks originated there." Pumu was driving while talking, "You and Luck Miss Si's secretary's meme is also spread here, and it's amazing that the meme is actually realized."
"My many memes?!" Ed quickly discovered the key information, "Explain, what are my many meme?"
"Lingus, the king of memes in the science and technology world, why should you have seen the doctor? It's impossible for people in the technical area not to play memes, right?" Pumu replied as a matter of course, "not to mention that it's so good to play memes in person. opportunity, and it shouldn’t be.”
"So that's it!" Ed's right hand hammered his left hand and suddenly realized, "Why is it that when I post on a large scale, people often say something inexplicable to me, and it turns out to be a joke in person? Wait, I suddenly remembered that someone had posted on my post before. I brush my father's love like a mountain below, is this playing a machine girl?"
"Uh..." Uruki glanced awkwardly at Lux in the rearview mirror, "This meme is also from Anaheim, but it's from another district..."
Ed probably guessed it, the legendary inner district, although he never found out where the entrance was. But it was obviously inappropriate to talk about this in front of Lux, and questioning Uruki would also damage his glorious image, so he decisively changed the subject.
The apology with Diana was easy to understand, but Roland looked very happy for him, which made Ed a little embarrassed. Then he directly turned Lux into his secretary. Today was her first day at work. As for Lucchet, he returned it to Anaheim.
He later reflected on it. In any case, it was a bit too extravagant for someone of Lucchet's level to be a secretary, but because of his status, no one objected, and even Lucchet took it for granted. Therefore, the more senior people are, the more cautious they must be in their words and deeds, and the impact of their random wrong thoughts will be multiplied by their status.
And Lux didn't have to worry about it. Needless to say, if he made any mistakes by himself, he believed that Lux would remind him in time.
The road was smooth in the early morning, and it was coming soon. Before the car could approach the office building, Ed felt a sickening awareness that ruined his good mood to see Lux's new dress in the morning.
"Siloc..." He frowned unhappily, and Lux looked over worriedly. He took her hand and squeezed it twice to signal that he was okay.
Sirocco came to Anaheim to trade the use rights of several patents with relatively high protection levels, including the high-energy output method of the beam rifle that has been applied to the VSBR, the miniaturized I position solution, etc., one can think of it Titans should be secretly working on the latest MS. After the Titans ate Orb's Dawning Club, their technical power has improved qualitatively. It is understandable that they are a little ambitious, but the reality does not seem to be so ideal, and now it is still necessary to honestly find foreign aid.
Orb is completely cold. Although the Earth Federation and the Titans are hostile to each other, they have been unhappy with Orb for a long time at the same time, and take this opportunity to divide Aub clean up. Until now, unless someone is willing to go to war with the Titans, it is impossible for them to spit out the flesh in their mouths. Although Cagalli's IQ balance is insufficient, Lux still explained the truth to her.
Sirocco has now basically completed the reshuffling of the Titans, and has successfully upgraded from the horse boy of a big boss to a big boss. Although these technologies are very important, it is reasonable to say that sending a confidant over is enough. Although the moon has no security and diplomatic issues, it is a big deal for him to come in person. But he not only came, but also appointed Minister Lingos to receive him.
The details of the transaction are basically left to the subordinates to discuss. The two NTs, who dislike each other, are already very restrained if they don't fight, and it's hell if they can talk about the results. Just like Ed had a good impression when he saw Amuro, he felt unhappy when he saw Siroc. This was a disgust in his soul and could not be changed. He believed that Siroc definitely felt the same way about him.
By the way, what happened at Turlington at that time, the Earth Federation resorted to the temporary worker Dafa, saying that due to the negligence of a temporary worker, he forgot to notify Dr. Lingos to evacuate, and the temporary worker had been fired afterwards. After the Union Army apologized to Anaheim and made some financial compensation, the matter was over. At that time, Ed could only be considered a civilian after all, and could not be on the line.
When I came to the reception room, Siroc was already waiting inside. In terms of status, Sirocco is higher than Ed, but Ed has a special title bonus and is playing at home, which is not true. Sirock stood up and shook hands with him, greeted him with a smile, and glanced at Lux behind him, hehe.
"Dr. Lingos, stay safe." Siroc sat down with a slap in the face, and Ed followed him, "The last time we met, the doctor was still white, and now he is a minister, and I am the only one. Lieutenant Colonel in the district. The gap between people is really unimaginable, and the doctor is indeed a genius, I admire it.”
Siroc is already the de facto leader of the Titans. Saying such things is just pretending to be a fight. Ed felt his undisguised consciousness and understood that this one was here to pretend. At that time, he was stunned by Ed in Turlington.
But Sirocco is a big boss after all, how could he do such a cheap thing? Maybe not to others, not necessarily between NTs. NT is neurotic, Sirocco is, so is Ed. The conflict between the two neuropathy can't be settled, so Ed doesn't have to be polite to him. What's more, Lux was next to her, so she couldn't be ashamed.
"Lieutenant Colonel Siroc is too polite. The lieutenant colonel is now in charge of military affairs and financial affairs. He is a man of the Federal Army." Ed pointed to himself mockingly, and waved his hand again, "Unlike me, I have nothing."
"Isn't the doctor also Miss Klein?" Siroc glanced at Lux sitting next to Ed again, and smiled maliciously, "Now this is the doctor's secretary? I envy those guys in the dead federation. Presumably the doctor had a vision in Turlington?"
"Nothing, I'm face-blind, which means I can't tell who is beautiful or not." Ed turned to look at Lux, the girl's polite smile seemed very calm, "To be honest, I chose her as secretary. Not because she's pretty, because I don't know if she's pretty."
Sirocco was blocked in one breath and did not pick up, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said: "You must have seen it, Doctor, several technologies in this transaction are used in our latest self-developed MS, and I am also reluctant. Participate in it. Although the results are about to come out, there are still many technical problems to be solved urgently. Every tackling team needs me.
"I still can't do the multitasking of the lieutenant colonel." Out of the corner of Ed's eyes, he found that Lux seemed to be holding back a smile, very hidden, but he deliberately let him find out, "I usually set a small goal that can be achieved first, For example, build a Gundam first."
"... Then for the Doctor, building a Gundam is trivial, I can understand that?" Sirocco looked resentful.
"I can't say it's trivial, it's too crazy." Ed thought for a while, "I mean it in the middle."
"Dr. Lingos' words look down on the appearance of Gundam." Sirocco looked like I was about to make big news, "As the father of Gundam, he said this, the fans of the Doctor and other technicians only heard it. I'm afraid it will be very sad."
"It's not contempt, nothing, do you want to hear the truth?" Ed sighed and made a distressed expression, "The biggest mistake in my life was creating Gundam."
Sirocco looked at him dumbfounded.
"I never thought that Gundam would completely change my life. I just wanted to make some small inventions. I didn't expect it to have such a big impact, bring me so many responsibilities and challenges, and even my own life. No more." Ed shook his head helplessly, "If there was an afterlife, I would never make the same choice. I just want to be myself and enjoy my own life."
Sirocco probably had never seen such a shameless person in his life. He didn't know how to answer the question. Thanks to Lux taking the initiative to lead the topic, the conversation ended quickly in a less pleasant atmosphere - Lux is really capable. Sirocco didn't look good when he left, and Ed was very happy.
Of course, Sirocco and him are both personal grievances and will not affect the specific negotiations.
After that, Ed took Lux to his minister's office. It was a large one-person room on the upper floor. It was elegantly decorated and soundproofed. He usually comes one day a week, and such a large room is considered a luxury for him. There was a large sofa in the room, like the Anaheim office, for his naps.
After entering the room and closing the door, Lux finally couldn't help laughing on Eddie's body, twitching with laughter.
"What about you?" He patted Lux on the back, "Enough is enough, if you laugh any more, you'll end up laughing."
"Ed, you're so interesting, it's the first time I've seen you like this." The girl raised her head and looked at him with a blushing smile, "Are you thinking of these lines yourself? I want to write them into the novel."
"No, copy, how can I be so shameless." He switched to another topic of more interest, "You are still writing novels? I thought it was a eunuch. What about the next update? I will take it when I go home today. Here, I'll watch Minerva's story."
"… lolicon?" Lux looked down at herself, then looked up at him alertly, "This is a crime, Ed, can't I?"
"You, you, how can you be innocent?"
"Just kidding, don't be nervous." The girl kissed him lightly on the lips, and put her fingers on his cheek, "Send Sirok away, nothing to do today, Ed, lie down on the sofa for a while. , You must have lacked sleep last night. You should go to bed earlier in the future, after all, you are not an adjuster, your body has limits, and you can see very light dark circles here. "
No, no, no, the culprit is not qualified to say such things. But he also thought about it in his heart, saying that it was cheap and good.
"There is also a plan to finish the night's activities now, so that I can go to bed earlier tonight." The girl stretched out her head and sighed in his ear, "Ed, please tell me honestly, this What do you think of the idea?"
