Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 423 Ji Ming, why are you with her! ?

As a man who has been quite charismatic since childhood and has been pursued countless times by various men but has never been successfully won over, he really has a lot of relevant experience.

Ji Ming didn't even need to wait for Fia to speak, he knew what she was waiting to do here.

Unfortunately, reality is not a shy love comedy. Since there is no way to go around it, Ji Ming greeted politely and then continued to walk away as if nothing had happened.

But after turning around, he still counted silently in his mind.

One.

two.

three.

"Um, God's Chosen, please wait a moment!"

Oh no, she hesitated for three full seconds, she might be serious!

But since the other person had already spoken, he couldn't just pretend to be deaf and dumb, so Ji Ming had to stop again.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Fia did not rush to speak, but seized the opportunity when the other party's eyes were fixed on her, and took two steps in the light blue dress she had specially changed into.

After slowly approaching, she neither clearly stated what her real intention was, nor was she foolish enough to stammer and wring her hands.

Instead, he took out the "irrelevant questions" he had prepared in advance and spoke softly.

"Ji Ming Shenxuan, may I ask what do you think of the airship we rode today?"

……

!!!

[Ah? The password is correct! Savior, please...]

"Well, not bad!"

If Feiya asked about something else, Ji Ming would definitely evade the question as he did before, but if she asked this, he would not be sleepy anymore!
He even adjusted his steps involuntarily and turned back instead of walking away.

【It’s over! 】

"As expected of something made by dwarves, its appearance is really novel, and its mechanical structure is also very ingenious. I think if we continue to develop it, it will definitely achieve great results."

"Yeah!?"

Fia's breathing even quickened in an instant.

——My bet was right! He is really interested in this!
So she struck while the iron was hot.

"Well, about the matter of the magic airship, Brother Wang also wants to develop it as a long-term industry, and maybe in the future it will be ours..."

Maybe she was too excited, Fia stumbled over her first sentence and almost said something she shouldn't have said.

But after thinking about it carefully, her face still flushed.

"It's nothing, it's just a well-known secret, so I'll just tell you straight out!"

pause.

"Our mother is from the Arclight family, so airships may become an important business for our family in the future."

Arclight...isn't that the Minister of Finance who is in charge of the kingdom's purse?
Ji Ming seemed to be calm and just nodded, but in his heart he was shocked and said, "Damn, a foreign relative!"

But there is really nothing to be surprised about. After all, it is essentially a competition for the job of raising Gu.

Princes and princesses who have the same father but not necessarily the same mother must cling to their mother's family in order to seek power.

But he was thinking about the division of power, but Fia thought that the newly arrived Chosen One was frightened and stunned by this incident, so she took the opportunity to speed up her speech.

"My brother dotes on me a lot, so even though I haven't passed the assessment yet, I still have a little money! He let me invest a share, and now I'm a small shareholder."

"Well, since I am a shareholder, I must find a way to contribute."

"So we just built this experimental airship, and only a few people have tried it, and you're one of them."

"I just want to ask you, do you have any suggestions for improving it?"

Opinions...

Recalling the disastrous riding experience, Ji Ming's expression was complicated.

"Then I have a lot to say..."

Fia: Okay!

"It's okay! Take your time."

"Okay, I'll start with the noise problem."

after an hour……

Logically speaking, winning the first time you take the initiative in your life and making the target of your pursuit chat with you happily for an hour should be considered a great success.

If the contestants are more impatient, they may have already thought about where to book the future banquet.

However, although Fia still had a polite smile on her face, her eyes revealed a bit of despair and fatigue.

It’s nothing, I was trying to hook you up with the airship thing, but you only talked to me about airships!

Although she had tried her best to divert the topic away from the airship and talk about herself and Ji Ming.

At least it should be more interesting, more private, and more intriguing topic!
Hey, guess what? It didn't work!
The Chosen One really kept on talking about the airship, and kept on talking madly about something she couldn't understand at all, so that it was difficult for her to utter two complete sentences in response.

I can only keep using interjections to express “Yeah, I am listening, haha” and then tell myself over and over again in my heart.

"Think about it, Fia. At least he talked to you about something serious that you can talk about outside, instead of trying to drag you to play poker after just three sentences!"

As for Ji Ming, who was sitting firmly on the airship mountain without wavering... he was of course pretending to be stupid.

He could see that Fia wanted to use this topic as an excuse to talk about what she wanted to say, so he had to keep the topic focused on this matter and use "my ignorance" to make the other party back off.

This is also his more common trick, polite yet elegant. After all, since people come with good intentions and sincerity, then you shouldn't let their ending be too bleak.

Unfortunately, Fia has a brother who is too outstanding, so she has become accustomed to using that higher standard to demand herself and devote more energy to her career.

So the reason why she came to chat up Ji Ming was not only because the chosen one was really good-looking.

What's more important is that after thinking about it, she felt that she would never meet a better partner than this one.

Therefore, she burst out with extraordinary patience and insisted on arguing with Ji Ming for a full hour.

however……

In the end, she was exhausted and the dress and high heels were not suitable for a long fight, so she surrendered after trying her best.

Of course, the excuse she chose for surrender was definitely more inclined towards the latter, in which she took the blame.

After discovering that Fia quietly raised one foot to relax, Ji Ming also stopped talking.

"I'm sorry, I was so happy chatting that I didn't notice your feelings."

"Uh, no! It's just that my shoes don't fit well."

But Feiya didn't intend to end it like this, and took the initiative to say that she would definitely stay here tonight. It's only a few steps away anyway, so I'll take you there. "Yeah, that's fine."

In fact, she was thinking that these were the last few steps and the right to speak would always be in her hands.

Unexpectedly, the Chosen One didn't even wait for her to open her mouth, but started asking about her brother very smoothly.

"I see that His Royal Highness seems to have a lot of friends in the capital. Did he go to school here before?"

……

Forget it, let me think about it well. At least I have started to care about my family. What if it’s me next time?
But as I said before, this is at least the first time I've taken the initiative.

She felt that there should be some results, but she actually hesitated for a long time.

Planning whether to sacrifice the heels, be bold, and fall into the arms of the chosen one once!
But in the end she gave up. There was no need to be so anxious. There was still a long time to come. With her abilities, she could definitely achieve it.

after all.

"Bye, bye. I'll let you know when the next airship test runs!"

"okay."

There will be another chance next time!

"Tsk."

After bidding farewell to Fia, who obviously had ulterior motives, Ji Ming, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally, walked a few steps aimlessly along the road and couldn't help but sigh.

Just when I was about to sigh that it was so fucking tiring to be in the aristocratic circle, and that I should just retreat to the mountains to preach and answer questions from now on, I heard a sentence suddenly coming from the side.

"What are you regretting?"

!!!

Ji Ming was so scared that he almost transformed into a helicopter and flew away at the speed of light, because he suddenly realized something very important.

"Eleanor, you..."

He forced himself to swallow the question "Why are you still here?" and replaced it with one with higher emotional intelligence.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Eleanor, who had been left outside for nearly two hours and was afraid of being discovered by the street patrolmen in this aristocratic district, had been hiding for a while: "Yes."

"Ah this..."

Although he did have his reasons, it was not right to leave the little girl alone outside for such a long time in the early morning.

Ji Ming was about to make a serious apology, but he saw her stretching out her arm and pointing towards the iron railing door, where the blue figure was about to disappear at the end of the road.

"Why did you come out with her? And you seemed to be chatting so happily!"

"Uh……"

"Don't think too much, I don't mean to question you!"

"I……"

"As a friend, I just want to tell you that she! She is not a good person!"

After being interrupted three times by Eleanor, Ji Ming didn't want to try the fourth time because he had already noticed something.

After exchanging a brief silence for a chance to speak, he delivered a fatal blow to Eleanor, whose face was already flushed.

"Eleanor, do you have any problems with her?"

"..."

Now it was Eleanor's turn to be silenced. She stammered and wrung her hands, then motioned for Ji Ming to follow her first.

After walking for a long distance, perhaps because she had finally figured out what to say, she stopped in front of a shop that had closed long ago.

"She and I were actually in the same college..."

This is Fia, who has a monarch of a powerful country as her father, a daughter of a duke as her mother, and an elder brother who is a young prodigy and has the attribute of a perfect pentagon.

He is simply the perfect Batman, with both parents alive, rich enough to rival a country, and a Superman as his brother.

This is Eleanor. Her parents are dead, her family business is ruined, her future is both bright and bleak. She looks around and sees only a bored but kind-hearted old succubus who is willing to help her.

Peter is simply a super failure who has nothing except Aunt May and has never been visited by even the mutant spider.

When the two of them went to the same academy and joined the same society, they both wanted to compete for the position of the president...

Naturally, more acute conflicts will break out, and due to various unavoidable off-field factors, the only ending will be that Eleanor returns in defeat.

If that's all, it doesn't really matter. Victory and defeat are common in the military. It's just a shabby society. The worst that can happen is that I won't stay here anymore!

But the question is, who is Miss Fia, and who are you?

Isn't it just relying on your parents for some protection? How dare you go against the eldest daughter of the Arc Light family!
This is no longer an ordinary princess, we must strike hard!
As a result, this battle for the position of president inadvertently turned into the law of the wolf pack, and the defeated party would be severely stepped on the head by the members with ulterior motives, and used as a tool for them to swear allegiance to the new king.

And although Fia herself did not directly participate in this extremely unreasonable liquidation of losers, as the new president it is clear that she could not have been unaware of this matter, but she has never expressed any opinions and almost condoned this behavior.

therefore……

The sweetest things in the world are the good things in our youth, and the most painful things in the world are also the evil things in our youth.

To this day, Eleanor still clearly remembers how she felt at that time, so she was completely devastated when she saw her and Ji Ming walking together.

"So this is ah……"

After listening to her intermittent, hesitant, and even incoherent narration and explanation, the first person Ji Ming thought of was Adele.

As a noble lady with a weak backbone, Adele actually encountered similar things when she was in school, and the intensity and comments were much higher than this.

But she is a soft-hearted person who is not afraid of anything. Facing the malice from all sides, she directly brings out the life principle of "If you attack me, then I will attack you too!"

The final result was that she became the so-called big sister killer with her own hands, and she carved out a world for herself both in the open and in secret.

To be honest, Adele is two years younger than Eleanor, so Ji Ming used the story of this junior to inspire her.

"Although it's over, you are definitely more mature now than you were back then. Think about it, do you have any better way to solve this problem now?"

"I……"

Eleanor was stunned for a moment and said tentatively.

"I don't think... there's any need for me to give in like that?"

"Why should I be bullied by them? Although the teacher has retired for a long time, she still has influence in the church. She is not an old lady who is too old and no one cares about her."

"It's true that being a princess is just a promise, but it's a promise that everyone knows about. Since power will be obtained sooner or later, even the smallest bit can be enough to control them to death!"

……

"what……"

This feeling is like going back to read the script and suddenly discovering that Aunt May's true identity is actually Ancient One, and that as long as I use my lucky hands and change my mindset, I can rely on my powerful magical talent to become Lord Peter.

The road actually existed, but I just didn't discover it at that time.
