Chapter 48: The Way Out After Graduation
Steele eventually rejected the shopkeeper's idea of giving her clothes, but at the shopkeeper's request, she agreed that the shopkeeper could spread the word that she had purchased clothes at the clothing store.
However, Steele asked the shopkeeper to promise her that while spreading the news, she must add that the clothes that Steele bought in this store were all made by the Armani Chamber of Commerce, and did not buy clothes from other chambers of commerce.
"I'm weird. Steele, since President Vincent has asked you to be the spokesperson of their Chamber of Commerce, can't you even meet the simple condition of designing a few sets of clothes for you and giving you clothes to wear at any time?"
"Of course, there are conditions, and President Vincent is not so stingy. In fact, what I wore some time ago was provided free of charge by the Armani Chamber of Commerce. Steele replied.
Xu also wondered: "Since there are free clothes, why do you have to buy them yourself?"
"You don't understand this, do you? Buying clothes is just a pleasure, and the focus is not on what you buy, but on the process of buying. Steele grinned. "Besides, the Armani Chamber of Commerce can't provide me with all the clothes, so if I go shopping by myself, I might find clothes that I haven't seen before. β
For this kind of fun, Xu Yi could only shrug his shoulders and express his incomprehension.
Steele suddenly sighed again: "Xu Yi, I am discovering more and more that being famous is really not a good thing. You see I'm walking down the street with you right now, and there's always someone pointing at me, which makes me very uncomfortable. Even coming out to buy a dress has so many scruples and troubles. It's not as good as before when I could go out shopping and have fun. β
Xu Yi looked at her pretty face, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really think so?" Many girls envy you and want to be as famous as you. β
"That's because they weren't famous. I haven't experienced any of these troubles. Steele sighed.
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, stopped, looked at Steele, and said, "Steele, if you really want to live back to the life of an ordinary person, then it's still too late." Otherwise, when your fame spreads throughout the Lampari Kingdom and even the entire Sainz Continent, it will be difficult for you to become an ordinary person again. β
Steele tilted his head and thought about it, and shook his head a little dazedly: "I'm not sure yet, give me some time to think it through." β
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
Steele now though feels that celebrity life is troublesome. But as a normal young girl, of course, she wants people's attention, and it is normal to have some contradictions in her heart.
"Well, no matter what you decide, I'll support you. β
Perhaps it was because of such an incident that Steele's interest in shopping decreased a lot, and then he just bought some things according to the established plan, and then casually found a cafΓ© on the corner with Xu Yi, and sat down to chat while drinking cold drinks.
Stay until near noon. Instead of eating in the city, the two hired a carriage and headed straight for Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic, outside the city.
Today is the graduation day of Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic.
In addition to the end of the academic year for students in grades 1 to 3, it also represents the end of their studies at Baron Rictor's Academy of Magic. Officially graduated.
Xu Yi and Steele chose to come here on this day, first of all, to welcome Vivien, and by the way, to celebrate her first year at Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic. The second is for the graduates of the Magic Branch.
Last year, Xu Yi signed an agreement with Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Then a special bursary fund was set up in the college.
As soon as this bursary fund was established, it caused a sensation in the college. Subsequently, some students from disadvantaged families applied for the fund.
Now, more than half a year later, this bursary fund has provided a total of more than 3,000 gold coins, helping more than 200 students in the college to complete their studies this year.
Of the three hundred and sixty-seven students who graduated from the Magic Branch of Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic this year, a total of thirteen students received the bursary.
According to the agreement they signed when they accepted the bursary, as soon as they graduated from the college, they were required to work for the new company for a minimum of three years.
Today, Xu Yi and Steele came to congratulate these students on completing their studies, and also to sign employment contracts with them on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Although with the gradual increase in the fame of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the concept of magic machinery has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, and the number of low-level magicians working in the Xinfei Factory has increased from the previous nine to an astonishing ninety-three in the past few months, but these ninety-three magicians are all those who are older, but their strength is still between the first and second levels.
Such a magician basically has no future to develop, and it is basically impossible to enter the research institute, so he can only stay in the factory and be responsible for completing the magic array arrangement required by the magic machine.
Although such basic talents are in high demand in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what Xu Yi values most is senior talents like Evita and others who have talent and can help in the research and development of magic machinery.
Although the graduates of the Magic Branch of Baron Rictor's School of Magic can only be regarded as decent, and there are not many genius magicians among them, they still have more room for plasticity compared to those older magicians who have already been stereotyped.
If they were recruited into the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and spent time cultivating, then there should be a few qualified engineers of the Magical Mechanic Theory from among them.
Therefore, Xu also attached great importance to the thirteen students who were in the first batch of the first batch of students to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even came to sign the contract in person.
Now Xu Yi and Steele are both celebrities in Bonta City, not only walking on the streets of Bonta City to attract attention, but also walking in Baron Ricto's Academy of Magic.
When the two of them picked up Vivien at the Art Branch, and then went to the Magic Branch together, the Magic Branch had just finished their graduation ceremony. The thirteen students in the crowd who had applied for the bursary fund were soon spotted by the noise of the crowd.
These thirteen students had already met Xu Yifang when they applied for the bursary fund, and they had a deep memory of the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And that's close to a year's time. Because of the help of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund, they have completed their studies much more smoothly than before. Cheng DΓΉ's improved magic strength even exceeded the sum of the previous three years, so in the bottom of their hearts, they were all very grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and naturally they couldn't forget Xu Yi's appearance.
In addition, Xu Yi's appearance around Steele is extremely familiar to everyone in Bangta City, and the man who can hold hands with Steele and express such a close relationship cannot be anyone else except Xu Yi.
So the thirteen students consciously squeezed out of the crowd and stood obediently in front of Xu Yi, looking at Xu Yi expectantly.
Xu Yi's gaze swept over this young face, and he also felt some emotion in his heart.
The thirteen students looked unremarkable. But in fact, for the magic industry on the continent of Sainz, which is still in its infancy, it is very significant.
Because they represent the children who learn magic, after graduating from the magic academy, in addition to entering the armies of various countries and entering the magic towers to help those powerful magicians, there is a new way out, that is, to enter the ranks of the magic machinery industry.
If this gradually becomes a common practice, and the study of magic machinery becomes an acceptable choice for all magicians on the continent, then the magic industry can be regarded as truly taking root on the continent of Sainz, and sooner or later it will grow and develop.
Thinking of this, Xu Yichong showed a bright smile to the thirteen students.
"Thack, Elena, Alessandro, Gael, ......"
Thirteen students, five men and eight women, said all of them by name.
Wait for the roll call to be completed one by one. Xu Yi opened his hands and made a welcoming gesture and said, "Now, in the name of the president, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I warmly welcome you to join." We hope you will have a happy and fulfilling three years at our Chamber. β
The thirteen students looked at each other and smiled brightly.
If last year, when applying for the bursary, the students were worried that the treaty, which would impose restrictions on them after having to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for three years, would be severely restricted. Then after more than half a year, everyone found out. After more than half a year of rapid development, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now become the most promising chamber of commerce in Bangta City.
The magicians working in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Not only can everyone get an enviable high salary, but they can also improve their magical skills while still not leaving the study of magic.
Who wouldn't want to do the best of both worlds?
Seeing Xu Yi take out the contract and ask the thirteen students to sign their names, one of the students of the Magic Branch who was watching next to him suddenly asked in a loud voice: "President Xu, can students who have not applied for the bursary fund also work in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, saw the rough linen clothes that the student was wearing, smiled slightly, and replied loudly: "Of course." Students who apply for the bursary fund are only required to work in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for three years after graduation according to the original agreement, but this does not mean that other students are not welcome to work in our Chamber of Commerce except for them. β
"Then I can apply to work for your new flying chamber of commerce now?" the student asked again.
Xu Yi glanced at the faces of the students around him who were also showing concern, nodded and replied, "Of course." β
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding students suddenly became noisy.
After a while, the student who asked just now squeezed out of the crowd, approached Xu Yi with an excited face, pointed at himself and asked, "President Xu, my name is Drakes, I also just graduated from the academy, and now I am a third-level magician, do you think I can do it?"
Xu Yi looked at Drex, who was expectant, and then looked at the other students around him, slightly stunned.
Could it be ...... A trip to Baron Rickto's Academy of Magic today, will the effect be even better than I expected? (To be continued......)
