"Lord Baron, Xu Yi has left the City Lord's Mansion. The Bruneian butler respectfully reported to Baron Bilill Stark.

"Hmm. Baron Billier nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

If Xu Yi saw the current Baron Bilier, he would be very surprised.

At this time, Baron Bilier sat upright, his expression was calm, and he had a gentle and confident smile on his face, and there was no trace of the look of a fool when he saw him, as if he had changed as a different person.

After taking a sip of tea in an elegant manner, Baron Billier thought for a moment and said to the butler of Brunei: "Counting that he has been in the City Lord's Mansion for more than half an hour? ”

The Brunei butler nodded: "Yes." Count Satsuma attaches great importance to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and often publicly expresses his support for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for that, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have developed so smoothly in Bangta City. ”

"I see that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is developing so fast, and my beloved big brother Leslie has also played a considerable role in it. Baron Billier smiled.

Hearing Baron Bilier mention his former master, the Bruneian butler immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

Baron Billier glanced at him and smiled lightly: "Butler of Blunei, Big Brother Leslie left you behind, and he also has a plan to let you take care of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for him, right?"

The Brunei butler hesitated for a moment, and replied lightly: "The Viscount has not explained like this, he left me just because he thought that I was more familiar with the situation here, so it would be easier for the family to take over when they sent someone here." ”

"Well, you've really helped me a lot during this time, if it weren't for you being Big Brother Leslie's man. I really want to keep you. Baron Bilier praised the Bruneian butler affirmatively, and the conversation changed. continued: "But Brunei steward, because of your attitude towards Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But I can't let you stay. If you do something wrong in a single thought, it will not only be bad luck for yourself, but also for me and even our entire family. ”

The Brunei butler looked at Baron Billier in astonishment: "Lord Baron, what are you...... I'm just a small official, so what impact can my attitude have?"

"Although you are just a little butler, you stay here, but you represent the meaning of Big Brother Leslie. And Big Brother Leslie is the eldest son of the patriarch of our Stark family, and the first in line to the Duke title. His attitude will represent the attitude of our Stark family in a large way. So if you look at it in connection, in the eyes of many people, your attitude is very likely to extend to the attitude of our Stark family. ”

The Brunei butler frowned: "So...... Lord Baron, are you worried about my attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and mistakenly think that our Stark family values the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very much?"

"That's right. ”

"Then I don't understand even more, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce with very good prospects, and Xu Yi is also very smart, if he uses it for his own use, it should be very helpful to the family. Why are you doing this, Your Lord?"

Baron Billier glanced at the Brunei butler and thought to himself that the Brunei butler had been in the Stark family since he was a child. Up to now, he has served as a servant for nearly sixty years, and he is usually cautious and doesn't talk much, but today he asked so much in one breath because of his attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. This not only proves that he does have a lot of doubts in his heart, but also proves that he really attaches great importance to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or Xu Yi.

If his attitude represents Leslie's. Then this Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should indeed have the qualifications to be valued.

If it weren't for the family's choice, it would really be a good match.

I thought about it. Baron Bilier replied, "The reason is very simple, because Xu Yi and Her Royal Highness the Queen of Severny are too close. ”

The Brunei housekeeper was stunned. Immediately, his face changed drastically, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked cautiously, "Lord Duke, ...... Have you made up your mind?"

Baron Bilier took a sip of tea, raised his eyelids and glanced at the Brunei butler, and said lightly: "This is not a question you are qualified to ask, just do your own thing." ”

The Brunei butler felt a pang in his heart, took a step back, lowered his head slightly, and said no more.

###

When he left the City Lord's Mansion, the sun was shining, and it was noon, Xu Yi glanced up at the sky, and walked towards the new site of the research institute in the south of the city.

The reason why I didn't choose to take the carriage was also to take advantage of the time to walk to sort out my thoughts.

The meeting with Count Satsuma just now did not yield any definite results.

After all, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for Count Satsuma to obtain more information to help Xu Yi make a more accurate judgment of Baron Bilier's attitude.

Although he was surprised that Baron Billier actually proposed a rent of 100,000 gold coins a year, and even scolded Baron Billier if he was crazy, there was not much Count Satsuma could do about it.

In the final analysis, the place where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now located belongs to the territory of the Stark family, and what they want to do depends entirely on the Stark family's wishes.

And now that the Stark family has sent Baron Bilier to control this territory, then this territory, he has the final say, and even His Majesty the King cannot question his decision.

The only thing that has the potential to change this is the contract signed by the two parties last year.

The original contract signed with Viscount Leslie clearly stipulated that the lease of the domain was three years, and the annual rent was fifty gold coins.

Now Baron Billier has unilaterally vetoed this contract and raised the annual rent to a staggering amount of 100,000 gold coins, which is in fact a serious violation of the contract.

The people on the Sainz continent still attach great importance to the contract, and if Xu Yi exposes this matter, I am afraid that the Stark family will suffer countless accusations from people because of this, and Baron Bilier will be scolded by everyone.

But when Count Satsuma asked Xu Yi if he wanted to make this matter public, Xu Yi thought about it and chose to shake his head.

After all, the Stark family is one of the largest families in the Lampari Kingdom, and the power is extremely huge, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce, if this matter is exposed, although there is a great possibility that the Stark family will be blamed by the vast majority of people, and it is even possible that Baron Bilier will be forced to retract this unreasonable demand, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to lease this territory according to the previous contract, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly completely offend the Stark family.

This is not much different from suicide for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is still very weak.

Xu Yi is not a hairy young man in his teens and twenties, and of course he would not make such an unwise choice just to take a breath.

Just like Viscount Leslie's advice to him before he left and the analysis that Count Satsuma had made about him before, the first thing Xu Yi has to do now is to work hard to develop the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really strong, many things can be solved.

So after careful consideration, Xu Yi's final decision on this matter was...... Evacuate this territory and stop playing with him!

Baron Bilier proposed a rent of 100,000 gold coins a year, which was simply a clear plan to drive the new flying chamber away, because of such an exaggerated amount, Xu Yi would never agree.

Although it is inferred that the age of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year is likely to exceed one million gold coins, it is completely unacceptable to take out 100,000 gold coins to pay the annual rent of a mere hectare of land in one go.

What's more, Xu Yi had long felt that this hectare of land had severely restricted the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which would lead to Guò Sevini asking His Majesty the King to lease a large piece of land.

Now that Baron Bilier has put on a rushing attitude, Xu Yi just took the opportunity to advance this relocation plan.

Although the time was a little tight and hasty, Xu Yi had already expected such a day when Viscount Leslie told him that he was leaving, and made a series of preparations for this in advance, so he would not panic immediately.

Xu Yi had just gone to see the Count of Satsuma, in addition to suing him for his unreasonable request, mainly to inform him of his decision.

Count Satsuma was a little surprised by Xu Yi's decision, and offered that he could help Xu Yi negotiate with Baron Billier in an attempt to keep Xu Yi, but Xu Yi had already made up his mind, so he politely refused Count Satsuma's help.

In the end, Count Satsuma had no choice but to agree with Xu Yi's decision, and proposed to provide some help to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to facilitate the relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After discussing with the Count of Satsuma, Xu Yi wasted no time and began to make preparations for the move.

Although the research institutes in the city will not be affected by this move, as a member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is necessary to inform them in advance so that they can be mentally prepared.

While thinking about the work that needed to be carried out, Xu Yi walked slowly, and after he had a rough framework of the entire workflow in his mind, the quiet alley where the research institute was located was already close in front of him.

Xu Yi stopped thinking and was just about to walk into the alley, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing on the other side of the street corner.

When he turned his head, he saw that the man was Rem.

After glancing at it, Xu Yi frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

In addition to Kairem, there was another person Xu Yi didn't know by his side.

What puzzled Xu Yi was that Rem and this person did not take a normal conversation posture, but got very close, almost stuck together, as if they were talking in a very small voice, and their expressions were a little sneaky, as if they were doing something shady.

Xu Yi felt a little strange in his heart, if this person was Rehm's friend, then it was the lunch break of the research institute, and it was normal for him to come out to meet his friends or have a meal together, but this conversation was really suspicious.

Looking left and right, and finding that there was no possibility of approaching the two in concealment, Xu Yi gave up the idea of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, looked at the stranger deeply, remembered his appearance in his mind, and then walked towards the research institute.
