"According to last month's statistics, so far, the total number of foreigners who have applied for labor certification endorsement from our Crescent Chamber of Commerce is 8,451, of which the largest number is the dwarves, which has reached 4,792, followed by the orcs, with a total of 2,447 people, and the least is the elves, with a total of only 1,212 people. ”

After Steele finished reporting this series of numbers, he looked at Xu Yi with some puzzlement.

"Xu Yi, I'm curious, why do you have to insist that all foreign races be integrated into our human life?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Because these foreign races have some abilities that we humans don't have, instead of letting them go out of our human life circle, or even opposing us humans, then why not try to let them integrate into our human beings, so as to contribute their own strength?"

"I can understand that you need elves and dwarves, after all, the elves have a lot of knowledge in magic that we human magicians have not mastered, and the dwarves are naturally good at smelting and casting. But the orcs ...... I still don't see anything about them that is significantly stronger than us humans. Steele was still puzzled.

"Of course there is, for example, they have a lot of strength, and a lot of the work in the factory is handed over to the orc clan to do, but one orc worker is almost equivalent to three human workers, and the salary is lower than that of human workers, how convenient it is to use." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Besides, weak orcs like the fox clan, the rabbit clan, and so on also have their own characteristics. You see, the first performance of the cabaret troupe you set up caused a sensation. ”

Steele glanced at Xu Yi: "It's just because everyone is curious about these orc girls, and the form of opera you mentioned is also relatively novel." It's very popular. However, these orc girls themselves are not too outstanding. The teachers who taught them dance performances were never very satisfied with their learning ability. ”

"Then be patient. Xu Yi shook his head and said. "I just hope that these orc girls will be a window into us humans. Let's not be too resistant to the orcs, so that we can continue to hire more orc workers in the future. ”

"Well, those orc girls are working hard, too. And they're very obedient, basically they do whatever I tell them to do. Steele glanced at Xu Yi, and suddenly chuckled: "Xu Yi, many of these girls from the fox clan and the rabbit clan are very beautiful, do you want to introduce them to you?" ”

Xu Yi rolled his eyes. I pinched Steele's pretty face angrily.

"I don't have the time to get to know them, I'll leave this cabaret troupe to you, and I won't interfere. If you can't do it well, hum, see how I clean you up. ”

Steele glanced at Xu Yi coquettishly: "Hmph, if you have the ability, I'm still afraid of ......."

Halfway through speaking, Steele suddenly frowned, his expression seemed to be a little painful, and he gently clutched his stomach. Hunched over and retched a few times.

Xu Yi was startled and hurriedly stroked her back gently. He anxiously asked, "What's wrong?"

Steele's sudden reaction didn't last long, and after a while of retching, he regained his normal state.

"Nothing. Facing Xu Yi's concerned gaze, Steele shook his head and comforted Xu Yi: "It's just that I always feel a little uncomfortable and nauseous recently and want to vomit, but nothing else, you don't have to worry." ”

"Isn't it that you've been working too hard for the Crescent Chamber of Commerce lately, and you're tired?" Xu Yi frowned. "Why don't you just leave these things to your deputy, and you can have a good rest. ”

"It's okay, it's really nothing. Steele waved his hand. "I'll go to the doctor in the city tomorrow and say hello, it should be just a small problem. ”

Xu Yi carefully observed Steele's face, and asked again and again, but got Steele's answer that he was fine, so he was a little relieved.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll accompany you to Doctor Zhao. No, I'm going to have someone bring the doctor here right now. Xu Yi straightened up, and was just about to go out to find someone, asking him to go to Bonta City to invite the best physician to the Falling Rain Valley, when two figures suddenly flashed at the door, but they were Yanis and Elder Elucia.

"President, where are you going?" asked Yanis in surprise as she looked at Xu Yi, who looked hurried and anxious.

Xu Yi glanced at Elder Elucia with some surprise, and replied casually, "Steele is sick, and I was about to have someone go to Bonta City to bring the doctor over to see her." ”

"Ahh Without saying a word, Yanise rushed into the house.

Elder Elucia smiled and said, "President Xu, if you don't mind, let me take a look at Miss Steele, I have some research on your human healing skills." ”

"Oh?" Xu Yi blinked in surprise. "You've even studied our human healing skills?"

"Our elves have been around for a long time, and we always have to find something to do. Elder Elucia explained. "I'm certainly not as good as your human doctors, but I'm still somewhat confident. ”

Xu Yi has been in contact with Elder Elucia for so long, of course, she understands that she will never talk nonsense, since she said that she has confidence, then it proves that she is definitely not weak in human healing skills.

After inviting Elder Elucia in, he found that Annis was beside Steele asking questions, with a look of concern.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.

Before you know it, the relationship between Janis and Steele has become so harmonious.

Elder Elucia came to Steele's side, asked Steele to stretch out his hand, open his mouth to look, and after asking some more questions, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely happy, he turned his head to look at Xu Yi, and said with a look of surprise: "President Xu, congratulations." ”

"Congratulations to me?" Xu Yi was stunned. "Congratulations on what?"

Elder Elucia glanced at Steele with a smile on his face, and then replied to Xu Yi, "Miss Steele is not sick, if I'm not mistaken. She should actually be pregnant. Having offspring is certainly a very congratulatory thing. ”

"Huh?" Xu Yi was stunned.

On the other hand, Yanis on the side shook Steele's hands excitedly: "Steele." It's great! You're pregnant! You're going to have a baby! It's great!"

Steele was also a little stunned at first. But she is a girl after all, as early as the first day when this situation appeared, she guessed this and was mentally prepared, so she quickly reacted, although she was equally happy, but with her generous personality, she was still inevitably blushing. There was a hint of shame.

At this time, Xu Yicai reluctantly reacted, looked at Steele in a daze for a while, and then moved his eyes to her belly.

"Steele is pregnant......? I'm going to have my own child soon?" Xu Yi's expression was still a little dull, and he almost didn't dare to accept this fact.

After spending more than twenty years on Earth, he has not even talked to a girlfriend because of his personal personality and experience.

And after crossing into this world, he not only met Steele, but finally married Steele, and now he is even about to have a child of his own!

Xu Yi swallowed hard and spat. Step forward and crouch down. With a slight tremble, he reached out and reached into Steele's belly and touched it.

"Fool, how can you figure it out now. Steele glared at Xu Yi and said coquettishly.

Xu Yihe smirked, scratched his head, looked at Elder Elucia and asked, "This...... Elder Elucia, what should I do now?"

Elder Elucia smiled slightly, "There is no need to do anything special, although the birth of life is a very happy thing, it will take a long time for him to grow up. During this time, you just need to take care of Miss Steele's body so that she can give birth to this child smoothly. ”

Xu Yiding thought about it, and finally gradually recovered from the slightly sluggish situation just now.

"Okay, Steele, you can leave the matter of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce alone for the time being, and recuperate at home. Xu Yi held Steele's hand and said, "No matter what is as important as this now, do you understand?"

Steele frowned and shook his head: "No, I don't agree. Although I understand the meaning of being a child, I don't want to stay at home all day with nothing to do. I still have to do the work, but I try not to be busy and tired. ”

Xu Yi also frowned deeply: "How can this work, when you are just pregnant, it is the most dangerous time, in case something goes wrong......"

"No, I don't want to be a waste of idleness. Steele shook his head firmly. "Although the Crescent Chamber of Commerce was founded after your suggestion, I have invested a lot of effort and affection in it, and I will not give up on it. ”

"No one asked you to give it up, I just want you to take a break for a while, and after that time, you can do whatever you want. Xu Yi patiently persuaded.

"But this time is the most important time for the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, if I don't be there, all the previous efforts will be in vain. ”

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. The Crescent Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari that has the right to represent, even if you don't care, you just need to let your subordinates follow up and handle some formalities, it is not that complicated. ”

"Xu Yi, are you questioning my work?" said Steele suddenly.

Xu Yi was stunned, looking at the expression on Steele's face, he immediately understood that Steele was serious this time.

According to his understanding of Steele's character, if he didn't agree, Steele would reluctantly agree with him in the end, but he must be extremely unhappy in his heart.

However, considering that Steele is now newly pregnant after all, for the sake of safety, Xu Yi still hopes that she can stay at home and recuperate with peace of mind.

At the end of the day, their small family didn't need Steele's job to support them.

This is the first real argument due to different opinions since Xu Yi and Steele met, looking at the expression of unwillingness and a trace of dissatisfaction on Steele's face, Xu Yi's reason told him that if he continued, he was afraid that this conversation, which was only at the level of argument for the time being, would quickly rise to a quarrel, which he absolutely did not want to see.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi smiled at Steele, shook his head, and said, "How can I question your work, I just care about your body." Then he turned to Elder Elucia, "Elder Elucia, is there anything Steele needs to pay attention to now?"

When Xu Yi and Steele were arguing just now, Elder Elucia and Janis naturally didn't have a good attitude, but now when Xu Yi asked, Elder Elucia immediately showed a smile.

"President Xu, you're actually worrying too much. Although Miss Steele needs to take care of her body after she is pregnant, the mother who is pregnant with life is not as fragile as you think, so you don't have to worry too much. For Miss Steele, the most important thing now is that she has a good mood. But...... Miss Steele, the process of giving birth to life is very complicated, and at the same time, it is a very precious and rare experience, please be sure to pay attention to your body, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be the biggest regret of your life. ”

With Elder Elucia in the middle as a relieving man, Xu Yi and Steele calmed down at the same time.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Steele got up Xu Yi, who was squatting in front of him, sat beside him, then took his hand and put it on his stomach, laughed coquettishly, and said, "Xu Yi, the old rules, right?"

Xu Yi immediately nodded: "Okay, old rules." (To be continued......)
