Chapter 49: People's hearts fluctuate
"Xu Yi, in fact, you don't have to relieve me of the siege, I'm fine. Steele gave Xu Yi a relaxed smile beside him.
At this time, the two had already finished lunch at the Magic Research Institute, and Steele planned to return to the Magic Tower, and Xu Yi happened to have something to find the Grand Magician Camilla, so they walked together on the way back to the Camilla Magic Tower.
"Is it really okay?" Xu Yi frowned and looked at Steele with a look of suspicion. "I don't think your face was very good. β
"That's just ......" Steele thought for a moment and waved his hand a little irritably. "It's not very pleasant after all, I just feel disgusting when I think about it. β
"As long as you don't still have feelings for that guy. Xu Yi shrugged.
"Who would have feelings for that kind of guy who is not as good as **!" Steele glared at Xu Yi angrily. "Do you think I'm stupid? I liked him before, but I didn't see his true colors clearly, and I was deceived by his appearance. Thinking about it now, I really feel that I was so naΓ―ve at that time that I would like a person because of his appearance. This...... Well, I was a fool back then. β
Xu Yi laughed: "Being a fool is not necessarily a bad thing. At least this matter of guΓ² let you know that you can't judge people by their appearance, and that the heart is the most important thing compared to the appearance. After all, it's so rare to find someone as outstanding on the outside as I am. β
Steele had a look of wanting to vomit, "Can you do it?" I just finished lunch, and I don't want to vomit right now." β
Xu Yi snorted and put on a disdainful expression: "If you still don't believe me to be honest, it's really unteachable." But forget it, a man as good as me is like the bright moon in the sky, and he can't hide it if he wants to, and there is no shortage of you, a guy with broken eyes, to find out. β
"Your eyes are broken. Steele glared at Xu Yi and suddenly sneered.
Once the laughter could not be contained, it was like opening the floodgates, and it became more and more unstoppable, and Steele only covered his mouth and laughed at first, and then the laughter became louder and louder, and he simply covered his stomach, and he couldn't stand up with laughter.
Xu Yi kept his face at first, but later he couldn't help laughing with her.
At noon on this summer day, the two guys suddenly burst into laughter on the street for no apparent reason, which naturally aroused the surprised eyes of the people around them.
However, these two guys are now not big celebrities in Bonta City, and when the people around them found out that it was them, they couldn't help but point their fingers.
Xu Yi soon found out about this, and hurriedly grabbed Steele's arm and fled.
It wasn't until he ran all the way to Camilla's Magic Tower that Xu Yi put down Steele's arm, panted and pointed to the magic tower in front of him and said, "Okay, you go to your grandfather first, I have to go back to the research room first." By the way, you can tell me about Grand Magician Camilla first, and say that I have something to do with him in a moment, and I hope he can leave me a little time. β
"Why are you so polite all of a sudden?" Steele glanced at Xu Yi. "Didn't Grandpa tell you a long time ago, and you can go at any time if you want to see him?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was no problem before, but I was scolded by him last time, and now I'm not sure if his old man will look at me differently." β
Steele snorted coldly: "That's what you deserve." β
Speaking of this, Steele suddenly frowned, sighed lightly, and turned his head to look at the towering magic tower in front of him, the expression on his face became a little regretful.
"Xu Yi, actually...... Actually, don't talk about you, I've always wanted to persuade grandpa. If he continues to be so stubborn, I'm afraid this magic tower will ......."
"What's wrong with the Magic Tower?" Xu Yi sensitively sensed the sadness in Steele's tone, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Could it be that there will be problems with this magic tower?" Probably not, besides, His Excellency Camilla is also a great magician, and he has a status in the entire kingdom. β
Steele shook his head: "Not the problem. But it's not easy to tell you about this matter for the time being, so I'll talk to my grandfather about it and I'm looking for an opportunity to talk to you in detail. Maybe...... I will ask for your help when the time comes. β
Seeing that Steele said solemnly, Xu Yi frowned.
Listening to her tone, Grand Magician Camilla seemed to be in trouble.
"Don't ask, there's something I can do to help. Steele, if you hadn't made an exception to recruit me into this magic tower, I'm afraid I would have been forced to do other jobs to support myself, and I would probably have nothing to do with magic, let alone create a chamber of commerce like I am now. So you played a decisive role in the fact that I am able to have these things now. In that case, what are you still polite to me?"
Steele smiled slightly: "Then do you know why I made an exception to recruit you in the first place?"
"Oh? Why?"
"Because...... You helped me hold the door when I entered. Steele blinked, dropped the sentence, and turned to leave.
"Just because of this?" Xu Yi touched his nose, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When Xu Yi walked into the research room, it immediately caused a sensation.
Since the business of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become more and more, Xu Yi has asked for leave more and more often, and later it will only appear once after many days, and each time he appears, he will only stay for a short time before leaving.
This made the colleagues in the research room even forget that he was actually a member of the laboratory.
What's even more strange is that if it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have been driven out of this magic tower by Grand Magician Camilla at this time, but for Xu Yi, Grand Magician Camilla didn't say anything at all, as if he didn't know what Xu Yi was doing.
So after a long time, the colleagues in the research laboratory knew that Xu Yi's status in the mind of the great magician Camilla was really different.
In addition, with the introduction of more and more products by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce has also grown, and Xu Yi's status in the hearts of his colleagues has also risen.
Now that Xu Yi appeared in the research room, he was naturally not ignored by everyone as he was at the beginning, nor was he hostile to some colleagues like before, but was almost unanimously warmly welcomed.
"Hey, Xu Yi, why did you suddenly come back today?" Ludy was the first to jump out and greeted Xu Yi with a smile on her face. "If you don't come back, we'll all forget about you and your colleague. β
"Ludy, what are you talking nonsense, we forgot that no one can forget Xu Yi, anyway, we have worked together for that magic fan for so long. You say yes, Xu Yi?" This colleague was naturally one of the ten colleagues who had previously assisted Xu Yi in drawing the magic fan magic array.
"It's just that it's never forgotten. Another colleague also laughed loudly and came to Xu Yi's side, patted Xu Yi's shoulder, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Hey, Xu Yi, has your chamber of commerce done this kind of work recently?"
As soon as he heard this question, the entire research room suddenly fell silent.
Xu Yi looked around and found that except for a few colleagues in the research room, the rest of them were actually looking at him with expectant eyes.
Even those colleagues who didn't look at each other clearly put on a listening look, and they were by no means as indifferent as they appeared on the surface.
Xu Yi was secretly taken aback in his heart.
These colleagues were very disdainful of the work of drawing magic arrays before, why are they suddenly so enthusiastic now?
The only explanation is that there is a change here that he does not know yet.
"There are things to say about this kind of work, but with your magical strength, I'm afraid I'm a little condescending, right?" Xu Yi responded with a smile, while carefully observing everyone's reactions.
However, after this careful observation, Xu Yi discovered a fact that surprised him even more.
"Huh, why didn't you see Camillo, Renault, and Wella? The three of them won't take a leave of absence like me, right?"
"You don't know?" Ludy glanced at Xu Yi in surprise, and then came to her senses. "Oh yes, you haven't been here in days, of course you don't know. The three of them are no longer working here, and I heard that now it seems that they have run to a chamber of commerce in Saltan City to do things for that chamber of commerce. β
"Do things for the Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi was stunned. "With the strength of the three of them, they can't go to the Chamber of Commerce to be a guard, right? Camillo aside, with the arrogance of Renault and Wella, how could the two of them agree?"
"No, of course it's not to be a guard, how could they be willing to run to be a guard for the Chamber of Commerce. Luty shook her head. "I've heard that they seem to be doing some research...... By the way, Xu Yi, it seems that it has something to do with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. β
"What does it have to do with our Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi was even more stunned.
"I don't know what it is. All I know is that the chamber of commerce offered them a pretty high salary, anyway, Camillo said before he left that it was much higher than his salary here. β
"Really?" Xu Yi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Camillo's strength in this laboratory is the second, and his salary is naturally the highest, even more than Renault, with forty gold coins per month.
If the chamber of commerce he went to offered him a much higher salary than here, it would not be a small amount.
If Renault and Wella were offered the same salary, it would not be surprising that the two of them agreed.
"By the way, the three of them were poached by that chamber of commerce, so what about you? Why didn't they come to poach you?" Xu Yi asked again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard his question, the expressions on the faces of his colleagues in the research room actually became strange at the same time.
Xu Yi suddenly understood, but he was afraid that none of these people had been poached.
The only answer to the reason why they are still here is that the conditions have not been negotiated yet.
