Tom looked at the door, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking in calmly holding a black folder.

"Sir Humphrey, the Prime Minister is meeting with guests—" Bernard followed.

"Oh, Bernard, but now is the time I have made an appointment with the Prime Minister." Sir Humphrey said a few official words casually, perfunctory. While talking, he was also looking at Tom, guessing the details of this man who was suddenly received by the Prime Minister.

Very young, no more than eighteen years old, with a handsome face, and judging from his manners and clothing, his family background should be good... This was Tom's first impression of Humphrey. But most unusually, this person appeared in the prime minister's office.

To be able to meet the prime minister at such a young age is nothing more than someone close to the prime minister or a representative of a certain school, and the prime minister has no meeting with student representatives in today's schedule. So the relationship between this teenager and the Prime Minister is extraordinary.

In just a few seconds, Humphrey came to a conclusion.

He broke in suddenly, not because of anything else, just to observe this guy who was suddenly received by the prime minister. People who appear suddenly are accidental factors. As a civil servant who pursues stability, the unexpected factor is what Humphrey hates the most, so he feels that it is necessary for him to find out.

"Okay... this is my cabinet secretary, Sir Humphrey." Humphrey asked for a good reason, and Huck could only bite the bullet and accept it, and introduced Sir Humphrey to Tom.

Is this the Prime Minister's Cabinet Secretary? Seems like a shrewd, slippery fellow, Tom thought.

"Then I won't bother you two."

"Ah, did I bother you? Go ahead, I can wait."

Hearing this, Tom and Huck couldn't help but slander, if you can wait, why don't you wait outside instead of breaking in? To put it bluntly, I just want to listen to our conversation!

Both were struck by the thickness of Humphrey's skin.

With Humphrey around, Tom couldn't continue talking with Huck, so he retreated and left Huck's office first.

The waiting room was not far from the office. Bernard prepared a plate of biscuits for Tom and made a cup of tea—he was too young to provide Tom with wine.

But after finishing all this, Bernard didn't intend to leave. He looked at Tom, hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter? You seem to have something to ask me?" Tom still had a good impression of this younger civil servant. He was not yet so sophisticated and dark as Sir Humphrey.

"Uh, um..." Bernard seemed a little hesitant, after all, the question he was going to ask was a bit difficult to say. Finally, he worked up the courage to ask a question that made Tom almost choke on his tea.

"Is Mr. Harker your father?"

Tom swallowed the tea down his throat, then looked at Bernard in astonishment: "Of course not! I'm an orphan."

Bernard looked a little embarrassed, "Ah, so...how should I put it, you really aren't...?"

"No!" Tom didn't expect that Bernard would mistake him for Huck's illegitimate son when Huck interviewed him!

Huck, this belongs to the fact that the wind review was killed.

But it's normal for Bernard to think this way. After all, Huck's attitude towards him is too special, and politicians are species that need to pay attention to their personal image. An illegitimate child is a hot rumor...

While Tom is trying to prove himself and Huck's innocence, the meeting between Sir Humphrey and Huck is coming to an end.

Sir Humphrey came over with a very legitimate reason: to persuade Huck to dispatch troops to rescue the collie who strayed into the minefield.

"I'm afraid Xiao Benqi's time is running out. We must make a decision as soon as possible."

Sir Humphrey is not an animal protection officer, but he is very concerned about this collie. The reason is of course not kindness, but interests.

Huck is currently trying to cut the army's funding, which Humphrey does not want to see. Driven by the interests of all parties, he must let Huck dispel this idea, and this shepherd dog is a very good excuse.

He intends to instigate Huck to send engineers to take the shepherd dogs out of the minefield. The advantage of doing this to Huck is obvious: he can increase his approval rate through this matter. As for the disadvantage...it will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Since you spent hundreds of thousands to save a dog, what face do you have to cut military spending?

As long as you hold Harker's handle in your hand, Sir Humphrey can directly say to Harker next time he mentions cutting funds: Prime Minister, you don't want the outside world to know that you spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to save the money. a dog?

At that point, Huck had no choice but to cancel his own plan to cut the budget.

"Sometimes people need to act according to their conscience." After leaving such a sentence, Humphrey left the office calmly.

Then Tom was called in again.

At this time, Huck was at war between heaven and man, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why. Rescuing a dog seems to be a good option, but it requires the use of the army and state agencies to save a dog, which feels unreasonable.

Seeing Tom coming in, he casually confides his troubles to Tom.

"It should cost a lot of money to dispatch the army to save the dog?" Tom felt that this behavior was very unreliable.

"Perhaps." Huck showed a troubled expression.

"It must cost a lot of money, this is going to a minefield to catch live animals! Deminers, veterinarians in charge of anesthesia, and possibly a helicopter..." Tom scoffed at this, in his opinion, spending so much money to save a dog It's simply a mental illness, and only European and American countries like Great Britain can do this kind of thing~lightnovelpub.net~ But...it doesn't seem to be difficult for wizards? A Flying Curse can solve the problem. In principle, underage wizards are forbidden to use magic outside of Hogwarts, but I don't need to worry about it, because I have countless ways to bypass this restriction.

Huck's expression darkened when he heard Tom say this. He also understands that it is not good to do so, the optional votes are really tempting! This is a real reputation! Moreover, if you do nothing, you will be made a big fuss by the opposition party.

Huck became distressed. But he had an idea and came up with an idea.

"Tom, do you think wizards can 'fish' it out through magic?" Huck showed a small expression of expectation and excitement.

"I'm a wizard, this is magic, do you want us to use magic to do this kind of thing?" Tom looked angry.

Huck smiled embarrassingly: Yes, it's a bit too much for the magician to save the dog.

At this time Tom sighed, and changed his tone: "But who made us friends, I am willing to help you in a private capacity-provided that you do a good job of keeping it secret."
