Chapter 146: I Need a Reassuring Person
The next morning, Ankro woke up in the bed that the maids had prepared for him in the small building, first feeling a headache, and then instantly remembering all the events of the previous night.
Thinking of what he said in front of Xu Yi last night and those gaffes, he hated why he couldn't forget everything that happened when he was drunk after waking up like everyone else, but he would remember it so clearly.
When he went downstairs and saw Xu Yi, the embarrassment deepened a little.
Xu Yi didn't show any unusual expression, and pointed to the other side of the table: "Sit down, I think you must be hungry now." ”
Ankru's face was a rare flush, and after thinking about it, he pulled out his stool and sat down, and without saying a word, grabbed the breakfast that had been prepared on the table and ate it heavily.
Although he ate quickly, Xu Yi found that he would chew every bite of food in his mouth before swallowing it.
Judging by this detail, this Ankroid must be a person who is usually extremely self-disciplined with himself.
It didn't take long for Ankro to finish his breakfast, wipe his mouth, and the expression on his face was normal.
Seeing his watch, Xu Yi nodded appreciatively.
Being able to recover quickly in such a situation is enough to show that Ankru's heart is quite strong.
"President Xu, I am very sorry for the gaffe last night. Ankru said calmly.
Xu Yi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't care, everyone gets drunk and out of control sometimes." But Mr. Ankru, are you really completely disappointed in the Duchy of Stantin?"
Ankru's face changed slightly, but he didn't hide anything in front of Xu Yi. He shook his head and said, "No." I'm a little disappointed though. But there was no despair. I still believe that with the right approach, the country can still be what I want it to be. ”
"But is your ideal Duchy of Stantin the same as everyone else's ideal?"
The corners of Ankru's mouth twitched twice, revealing a very reluctant smile: "I can't guarantee it. But I believe that my ideal Duchy of Stantin will at least give a better life to most of the people of the Duchy today. ”
Xu Yi stared at Ankru for a while, and nodded slightly: "I have to say, I admire people like you who are full of ideals." Because I'm the same. But Mr. Ankru, I don't think I need to remind you, you should know too. If it is completely from my point of view, the best choice now is to leave you behind and cooperate directly with the Grand Duke of Stanting and the Patriarch of Weilun, the great nobles in the Principality of Stantin. I think working with them will make me think a lot less about it than working with you. ”
Ankru's face changed suddenly, and then he immediately took a deep breath, regained his composure, looked at Xu Yi and said seriously, "President Xu." I admit it's easier for you to work directly with them. But I'm sure that you and the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce may reap huge benefits in the short term. But in the long run, you will definitely be disappointed. ”
Xu Yi sighed softly: "This is also what I'm worried about. But although I am more focused on long-term interests and cooperation, and I hope to be able to cooperate with smart people like you, Mr. Ankru, you are in the Principality of Statein...... I'm afraid I don't have enough decision-making power. ”
Ankru's expression was slightly gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Not now, doesn't mean I won't have it in the future." With the opportunity to work with your chamber of commerce, I think I'll slowly gain some power to make decisions. ”
"I'm sure you have what it takes. Xu Yi nodded. "But I didn't wait for you to gain these powers. Mr. Ankru, you should know that the development of our new flying chamber of commerce is very fast. So if we don't get what we need from the Duchy of Stantin now, then it's likely that in two years' time, we won't need the things that the Duchy of Constantine provides. ”
"No!" Ankru immediately exclaimed. "The Duchy of Stantin must have what you need, President Xu, I can guarantee that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to get enough benefits here!"
"As I said, the most important thing is time. Xu Yi was unmoved, and said slowly but undoubtedly: "This time I came to the Duchy of Stantin, it has taken me a week. If you add up the time it takes to go back, it will probably take more than half a month. If half a month doesn't allow me to see anything here that is enough for me, then I have to regretfully give up my hopes for this place. Do you think I'm right, Mr. Ankru?"
Ankru pondered for a long time, and asked Xu Yi in a deep voice, "President Xu, what do you need to make up your mind?"
"I needed a leader who would make me feel comfortable investing here. The expression on Xu Yi's face became very stern. "But to be honest, neither Grand Duke Stantin nor Patriarch Weilun have the qualifications and abilities to reassure me. If the only person I can rest assured of is that you are alone, Mr. Ankru. ”
Ankru's breathing suddenly became thicker, and he stared at Xu Yi for a long time, and said slowly, "President Xu, what do you want to say?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Mr. Ankru, you are a smart person that I admire, I believe you understand what I mean." I also believe that you have enough courage, courage and ability. Of course, if you find it difficult, I don't mind helping you. ”
The Ankru's breathing was heavier, and it was clearly audible in the quiet of the small building.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth as if with great difficulty.
"President Xu, how can you help me?"
Hearing this question, the smile on Xu Yi's face instantly became much brighter.
###
Xu Yi stayed in Faraday City for another two days before announcing his resignation to Stantin.
Before leaving, he assured Archduke Stantin that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would do his best to arrange for the start of mining work on these three mines, and hoped that Archduke Stantin would fully cooperate when the time came.
Grand Duke Stantin naturally said with a smile on his face that he would fully cooperate and would definitely not let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce encounter any difficulties in its work in the Principality of Stantin.
Of course, he had to be very enthusiastic, because the two sides had just initialed an agreement, and Xu Yi paid the deposit of 50,000 gold coins in one go.
The money that Grand Duke Standin receives in a year is only 200,000 gold coins, and more than half of it is used for daily expenses to maintain his luxurious life, but in fact, he has no money at all.
Now Xu Yi casually paid 50,000 gold coins, which not only allowed him to really see the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also made him naturally become more enthusiastic towards Xu Yi.
Thinking that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really came to mine the mine, then he would be paid the remaining 1.3 million gold coins one after another in the future, Grand Duke Stantin couldn't help but laugh and tremble all over his body.
When he left Faraday City, he was still sent off by Anglo.
However, this time Ankru did not bring any entourage, but together with Xu Yi, he took the two maids sent by the Weilun patriarch and left in a carriage.
The route I left was a little different from when I came.
After leaving Faraday City, the carriage made a slight detour to the east, choosing a secluded place and driving into a dense forest.
Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage, explained to Ankru, and walked briskly into the depths of the dense forest.
When the carriage could no longer be seen in his sight, Xu Yi shouted in a low voice, "Okay, Yanis, you can come out." ”
A chuckle suddenly sounded in the void, and Yanis's familiar figure flashed from the side, and then completely unexpectedly Xu Yi, and pounced directly on Xu Yi.
Feeling the temperature of Yanis's body and the fragrance from the tips of her hair, Xu couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yanis, what's wrong with you? Are you being bullied?" Xu Yi asked, and then looked at the three elves of the Moon Shadow tribe who appeared from the void with Yanis.
The one who was the leader of the three elves was the elf who took the letter from Xu Yi last time, and when he saw Xu Yi's unfriendly eyes, he immediately frowned and said, "Human, are you suspicious of us?" I told you last time, Yanis is a guest from afar, how can we bully her. ”
"Yes, the people of the Moon Shadow tribe are very good to me. Yanis let go of Xu Yi and asked curiously.
How can there be a little bit of bullying.
"I wasn't bullied, what did you do when you suddenly hugged me?" Xu Yi said angrily. "Scared me, I thought you were like those little human girls, who threw yourself into my arms and cried after being bullied. ”
"Will a human girl throw herself into your arms and cry when she is bullied?" Annis was even more curious. "But I just want to hug you when I see you, and I don't mean anything else. ”
"Just want to hug me?" Xu Yi looked at Yanis with wide eyes. "Why do you want to hug me all of a sudden? You've been with me for so long, and I've never seen you hug me. ”
"Yes, why is it this time......" What made Xu Yi angry and funny was that Yanis actually thought about it seriously because of this question.
Seeing her serious thinking, Xu Yi could only shake his head and ask the elf, "Since you sent someone to inform me to meet here, does that mean that Elder Lisanya Shadow Song has agreed to meet me?"
The male elf nodded, "Yes, the elder asked us to welcome you to our tribe, please." ”
Seeing the other two elves, a man and a woman, looking at him curiously, Xu Yi smiled slightly, pulled Yanis, who was still thinking, and followed the male elf to the depths of the forest.
After walking two steps, Yanis suddenly woke up with a sudden start, and said loudly: "I know why! President, I suddenly want to hug you because I miss you!"
Xu Yi and the other three elves looked at Yanis in amazement.
Looking at Yanis, who was relieved and smiled happily because she finally thought of the answer, Xu Yi couldn't help but pat her head.
This Yanis, how far does she want to stay naturally...... (To be continued......)
