Chapter 21: We Can't
Why do you say again?
Because a few months ago, Wella and Rem had returned to Bonta City after leaving the Leo Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City.
However, when Xu Yi invited the two of them to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Weina chose to accept, but Rem rejected Xu Yi.
Later, Xu also asked Wella about Rem's whereabouts, and learned that Rem had found a job in another chamber of commerce after leaving Bonta City.
As for what he was doing, or even in which chamber of commerce, Rem didn't even tell Wella.
Xu Yi thought that Rem was deliberately hiding from Wella, and planned to be like those men who failed in their careers, go out and get a good result and then come back to announce it to Wella, but who knew that now he saw him appear in Bangta City again, in front of him, and with an obvious look of loss on his face, he looked like a loser, so that Xu Yi involuntarily said the word "again".
As soon as the words came out, Xu Yi immediately realized that something was wrong with this, and hurriedly got up and greeted the two with a smile: "Come on, come and sit." Rem, you and Wella shouldn't have eaten out when you come back at this time, right? Come, sit down and eat together. Today it was Evita's cooking, and it tasted very good. β
Wella nodded, tugged at Rem's sleeve, and sat down first.
Rem showed a very reluctant smile to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, why are you here?"
"I have some work to assign to my colleagues at the Institute of Magic, so I can stop by for a meal. Xu Yi replied casually, looked at Wella, who was seated, hesitated, canceled the idea of continuing to ask, and beckoned Rem to sit down.
At the table, Akali and the others turned their eyes around Wela and Rem, full of curiosity.
Wella was only a few years older than them. But after all, unlike those of them who had just graduated from the academy, not only was their magic strength stronger than they were in general. They are more stable and mature, and they are much more experienced than them.
Although the time spent together is not too long. Wella, however, has gained their inner recognition and respect.
And Wella usually doesn't smile, and her expression is always a little cold, which makes them respect but feel a little unapproachable at the same time.
However, it was surprising to see that Wella had brought a man her age here.
Seeing Rem naturally sit down next to Wella, the curiosity in the eyes of the group of people intensified.
Could it really be that this Rem is Wella's boyfriend, as Akali guessed just now?
The atmosphere at the dinner table was really a bit strange, and several times Akali and Bella couldn't help but have the fire of gossip burning in their hearts, and wanted to ask what was going on, but they were stopped by Xu Yi with his eyes every time.
Wella still maintained her usual demeanor. After eating the meal slowly, Rem was obviously a little unnatural, his expression stiffened, and he stumbled over the meal.
Finally, when Wella finished eating, Rem immediately put down the bowl as well, looked at Wella, and winked at her.
Wella sighed and said to Xu Yi, "President, I have something I want to talk to you about." Do you have time?"
Hearing Wella shout the title of "President" and the respect in her tone, Rem's face changed slightly, and then he returned to his natural nature.
Xu Yi had already finished eating, and was waiting patiently while drinking tea. Now that Wella finally spoke, she put down her teacup and stood up. Pointing to the back of the hall: "Let's go talk later, don't disturb them to eat." β
Wella and Rem got up at the same time. Under the curious gaze of Akali's group, he followed Xu Yi to the small room behind the hall.
The three of them sat down. Xu Yi glanced at the silent Wella and Rem, smiled, first broke the dullness, and asked Rem: "Rem, I heard Wella say that you have found a new chamber of commerce now, are you still researching magic machinery?"
Rem looked stunned, glanced at Xu Yi with complicated eyes, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, this chamber of commerce also studies magic machinery. But after doing this time, I found that what Wei Na said before was not wrong at all, when it comes to researching magic machinery, no chamber of commerce can compare to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or rather, compare to Xu Yiyou. I've been working on magic machines for a while at the Chamber of Commerce, but I haven't been able to produce anything so far. β
"The requirements for the magic machine are very complex and complex, and it is unrealistic to expect to produce results in a short period of time. Xu Yi nodded, pointed at Wei Na and said, "Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been able to achieve these achievements now, and it is also due to the hard work of the researchers of these magic research institutes, including Wei Na. β
"Wella, forget it, but I think the other researchers in your research institute are just kids who have just graduated from the academy, and how strong can their magic be?" a hint of disdain crossed Rem's face. "Since they can all research some results, there is no reason why we stronger magicians can't research it. β
Xu Yi couldn't help frowning, why did this Rem still look so arrogant.
Obviously, he just said that he had not achieved any results in his research, but now he dared to look down on Evita and the others, who had already made a lot of achievements in the magic-related research of magic machines, and said that he was too light-eyed and low-handed.
Wella glanced at Rem and said coldly: "The fact is that you haven't achieved anything so far, and the children you look down on have made a lot of achievements by their own efforts. Of the many kinds of magical machines that our New Flying Chamber of Commerce is now producing, except for some of them that Grand Magician Camilla is responsible for researching, the vast majority of the rest are completed by them. Who do you have to look down on them?"
Rem was suddenly choked by Wella's unceremonious remarks, and his face turned red, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xu Yi smiled and said, "Don't talk about this." Rem, did you come back to see Wella, or is there something else?"
"This ......" Rem hesitated for a moment, but did not answer, but looked at Wella.
Wei Na frowned, then let go, and said to Xu Yi with a calm face: "President, Rem came back this time to return to work in Bangta City. Depend on...... I mean. If you want him to work in our Chamber of Commerce, it's best to be able to conduct magic array research with me at our Magic Research Institute. You...... Do you think it's okay?"
When it comes to arrogance, Rem is nowhere near as good as Wella.
I have been in the Magic Tower since last year to meet Wella. It's been nearly a year now, and this is the first time Xu Yi has seen Wei Na begging others.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi glanced at Rem with a strange expression, but found that he was looking at him expectantly, and there was no trace of shame on his face.
Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart.
This guy, if he made this request in person, Xu Yi might still be able to look up to him, but now he is asking Weina to make a request to himself, which really makes Xu Yi feel a trace of contempt in his heart.
In the past, Rem always looked at people through his nostrils. Xu Yi didn't like it very much, but he never let Xu Yi have any contempt for him.
I don't know what he has experienced in the past few months since he left Bonta City, and now he has become like this.
However, Wei Na finally made a request to herself, and she couldn't help but give her this face.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi put a smile on his face again and said with a smile: "Okay, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now in urgent need of magicians to join the research ranks. And a magician like Rem who has experience in studying magical machinery is of course more welcome. I know Rem's magical prowess very well. So there is no need to do an assessment. On behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am here to welcome you to Rem. β
Seeing Xu Yi standing up and stretching out his hand to him, Rem hurriedly stood up and held Xu Yi's hand. Smiled: "Thank you." Allow...... President, I'm going to do a good job, no. Study well here. β
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that you know that you have to study hard. Otherwise, he still has such an attitude of looking down on people, but I'm afraid that he may not be able to mix in this magic research institute.
"Wella. There are some things that need attention, I won't say more, you sue sΓΉrem for me. Xu Yi said again. "Also, tomorrow I'll have someone send me the employment contract and the non-disclosure agreement, and you tell SΓΉrem what to do. β
Wella nodded in response, but Rem asked in surprise, "Non-disclosure agreement?"
"Oh, it's an agreement signed to prevent researchers from leaking some of the Chamber of Commerce's secrets. In case of violation, compensation must be paid. It's nothing, as long as it doesn't violate the above agreement, it doesn't affect anything. Xu also explained.
Rem's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, and nodded with a smile: "Well, this is how it should be." After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has a lot of unique technologies related to magic machinery, and if it leaks out at will, it will definitely cause a lot of losses. β
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "It's good if you understand." β
After chatting a few more words, and finalizing some matters related to hiring Rem, Xu Yi got up and said goodbye.
Wella stopped Akali and Evita, who wanted to send Xu Yi, and sent Xu Yi out by herself.
The two walked out of the door of the research institute, Xu Yi glanced at Wei Na and said, "Wei Na, if there are any other requests that are inconvenient to say in front of others, just mention it." We used to be colleagues at Camilla's Magic Tower, and with our relationship, there's nothing to say. β
Wella looked at Xu Yi silently for a while, and said softly, "Thank you." β
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "You're welcome." Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is already in need of a lot of magicians, and even if you don't say it, I am very willing to hire a magician like Rem who has the strength and experience in the study of magical machinery. β
"But Rem ......" Wella opened her mouth, but instead of saying the rest of the words, she sighed softly.
Looking at the slightly lonely look on Wei Na's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but say, "Wei Na, do you mind if I ask about your private affairs?"
Wei Na glanced up at Xu Yi and showed a wry smile: "Do you want to ask me about my relationship with Rem?"
"Yes. I'm a little worried when you say that Rem hasn't been back to Bunta City for months, and hasn't even been in contact with you much. You and I were both colleagues in the same research room under Camilla's Magic Tower, and I was quite envious of you being a couple. But now this situation ......"
Xu Yi thought about it and found that the latter words could not be spoken, that would be too straightforward.
"It shouldn't be possible between us. Wella replied very dryly. "I thought I would be happy that he decided to go back to Bonta City this time. But when I actually saw him come back, I found that I must not have had any mood swings. After seeing him, it can be said that there is no special feeling, it is like looking at a stranger. So I know that it should be over between the two of us. β
Xu Yi was silent, and asked after a while: "But now that he has joined the research institute, you will work together every day in the future, won't this have an impact?"
Wella shook her head, "No. I don't really have any feelings for him now, and I'll only treat him as an acquaintance at best. If you want me to go back to the way I used to be when I was with him, that's impossible. β
Xu Yi still has some understanding of Wella's character, and knows that since she said that it is impossible, it is really impossible.
I wanted to comfort her, but found that Wella probably didn't need her comfort at all.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi had no choice but to laugh dryly and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to say." I hope that Rem will work well in the research institute in the future, and with his ability, I believe that he will soon become an important member of the research institute. β
Wella nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
Xu Yi paused, and found that there was indeed nothing to say, so he raised his hand to say goodbye to Wella.
Walking out of the alley where the research institute was located, I turned around and found that Weina was still standing at the gate of the research institute, looking up at the starry sky at night, and I didn't know what she was thinking.
Xu Yi sighed secretly, such a magician couple who were very optimistic about his previous colleagues actually broke up so inexplicably, which really made him feel a little embarrassed in his heart.
If Steele breaks up with him one day, will he be as calm as Wella......?
