About an hour later, the magic car carrying the Grand Duke of Galbut slowly drove into the gates of Wimbledon's No. 1 Steelworks.

A group of people who had been waiting for more than two hours hurriedly greeted them, all with smiles on their faces, but they didn't dare to show the slightest expression of impatience because they had waited too long.

The first to greet him was not the director of the First Steelworks, nor any leader of the First Steelworks, but the Marquis of Askender, who was currently the head of the Candela Empire's Magical Industry Management Department.

This commemorative event at Wimbledon No. 1 Steel Mill originally did not need to be attended by the Marquis, who was so powerful and popular in the entire Candela Empire, but after learning that even the Grand Duke of Galbut would participate, he decided to participate without hesitation.

So with the participation of him and the Grand Duke of Galbut, this commemoration quickly became the most important event in Wimbledon and even in the entire Candela Empire recently, and received the attention of countless people.

Now, although the process of this event has been slightly delayed due to the unexpected tardiness of the Grand Duke of Galbut, no one dares to blame the Grand Duke, so after a short pause, he immediately followed the process.

After the Grand Duke of Garbout got out of the car, he greeted everyone, and originally planned to give a speech that had been prepared long ago according to the arranged process, but he did not expect to meet a guest who surprised him when he stepped onto the rostrum.

"Oh, dear Miss Freya, I didn't expect you to come to this event too. What a surprise. The Grand Duke of Garbout smiled a much more enthusiastic smile than he had seen the others. He walked over to Freya, who had already stood up.

Freya also put on a perfect, sunny smile. He bowed gracefully to the Grand Duke of Galbut.

"Lord Grand Duke, I have temporarily decided to come to this event in place of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is not surprising that you don't know. ”

Grand Duke Garbut laughed: "Miss Freya, this event can invite you, compared to the people of the First Steel Mill, right?"

Earl Reddinger, the director of the First Steelworks behind the Grand Duke of Galbut, hurriedly came up, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's right, Miss Freya is willing to participate in this event." It is the honor of our first steelmaking plant, which means that the friendship between our first steelmaking plant and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will always be strong. ”

Hearing this, the Grand Duke of Galbut glanced at the Earl of Redinger, then smiled again and made an inviting gesture to Freya.

"Miss Freya, since you're here, why don't you come with me to the front and say a few words?"

Freya waved her hand: "I have already spoken as a representative of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just now. Now we are all waiting for your speech, Your Majesty, and then we will have luncheon. ”

Speaking of this, Freya showed a smile with a hint of playfulness, and her tone deliberately carried a hint of resentment.

"Let's be honest. Your Excellency, I've been waiting here for so long. I'm a little hungry. ”

Grand Duke Garbout laughed again.

"It's really my fault to keep Miss Freya waiting. Don't worry, I'll just go up and say a few words. When it was time for the afternoon feast, I would like Miss Freya to sit with me, but I have a lot of questions for Miss Freya. ”

"Don't dare to ask for advice. If the Grand Duke has anything you want to ask, just say yes, and I will not hide it if I can answer it. Freya smiled sweetly.

The smile on Grand Duke Galbut's face was slightly choked.

Is this Freya not even willing to say polite words?

What does it mean to "never hide what you can answer"? Does it mean to tell yourself that there will be many questions that she will not want to answer?

However, remembering Freya's father Xu Yi's consistent style, Grand Duke Galbut was immediately relieved.

As Xu Yi's eldest daughter and the only heir designated by Xu Yi, it is natural that Freya's style of acting is similar to Xu Yi.

After exchanging a few words with Freya, the Grand Duke of Galbut stepped up to the podium alone and began his long-awaited speech.

Although he told Freya that he would say a few words casually, but in his capacity, since he came to participate in this event, he would inevitably enjoy the final scene, so of course it was impossible to really just say a few words casually.

After speaking freely on the stage for nearly half an hour, reviewing the history of the development of the steel smelting industry in the Candela Empire in the past ten years, he ended his speech.

By this time, it was close to noon, and the crowd was obviously hungry.

Thankfully, the Grand Duke of Galbut had been the finale, and now that he had finished his speech, the morning had come to an end, and the group had been led to the luncheon by the leaders of the steelworks.

At the luncheon, the table at which the Grand Duke of Garbout sat was, of course, the most noble table.

In addition to the Grand Duke of Galbut, he was accompanied by Earl Reddinger, the director of the First Steelworks, and the Marquis of Askender, the head of the Magical Industry Administration.

And, of course, Freya.

"Miss Freya, you came to our Candela Empire this time because of the magical communication network, right?" asked Grand Duke Garbut as he sat beside him.

"Yes. Freya nodded.

"So...... Since President Xu has sent Miss Freya to come in person, you must be planning to agree to the Empire's request?"

Freya smiled slightly, revealing two small tiger teeth, and slowly shook her head.

"It's not certain yet, but I can tell the Grand Duke good news that our Chamber of Commerce is interested in transferring technology to your country in magical communication networks. But only if it is...... Your country is able to offer a condition that satisfies us. ”

Grand Duke Galbut laughed: "As long as you are willing to transfer, what are the conditions...... Of course it can be discussed. ”

With that, Grand Duke Garbut raised his glass and gestured to Freya.

"Come, toast to the success of our future cooperation!"

Freya raised her glass, but it was just plain juice.

However, she didn't clink glasses with Grand Duke Galbut, she just raised her hand to signal, took a sip of her own, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Grand Duke, my father is very strict with me, and I am not allowed to drink until I am twenty-five years old." ”

Seeing Freya's movements, a gloomy look flashed across Grand Duke Galbut's face, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled again.

"President Xu's tutoring must be strict, otherwise he would not have been able to teach a wonderful daughter like you, Miss Freya. Speaking of which...... Miss Freya, I heard rumors that there is an agreement between you and President Xu that you will not decide whether or not to take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when you are twenty-five years old?"

"Yes, there is this agreement. Freya nodded.

The other people at the table were originally listening to the conversation between the two, and when they heard this answer, everyone was so focused that they forgot to drink the wine, and they all looked at it.

The issue of the heir of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not only a very important issue for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also a very important issue for the entire Sainz Continent.

Who is the successor of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce determines the long-term policies and strategies of other forces in the future, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Therefore, as to whether Freya will take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, countless people on the mainland are extremely concerned.

Originally, this question was not a problem for others at all, because although Xu Yi had many children, he had already publicly announced that Freya was his only heir when Freya was born more than twenty years ago, so everyone decided that Freya would definitely take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from him in the future.

But when Freya grew up, a rumor gradually emerged that Freya would not necessarily take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and might choose to give up becoming the next president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Almost everyone didn't believe this rumor at first, because no one would think that Freya would ignore such an important position as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, in the years that followed, various rumors about Freya continued to leak, but this was gradually proven.

Xu Yi, this guy, actually really gave Freya the right to choose by herself, allowing her not to take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!

"Then Miss Freya, if I'm not mistaken, you'll be twenty-five next year, aren't you?" asked the Grand Duke of Garbutt, the question that was of concern to all.

Freya's eyes widened, and she wondered how many times she had to answer this question.

"I haven't decided yet. Freya shook her head. "Right now I'm not interested in being like my father, but I'm not sure what I'll think about this time next year. ”

Everyone next to them looked at each other.

What the hell is this answer? It's the same as if it wasn't said......

The Marquis of Askender couldn't help but say, "Miss Freya, I see that you have begun to have frequent contact with the affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past few years, and this time President Xu has put you in charge of handling the transfer of magic communication network technology, presumably ...... You're actually ready to accept the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, aren't you?"

Freya pursed her lips slightly, and said angrily: "This is a trap deliberately dug by my father, and I myself have no interest in dealing with this matter." ”

Everyone could only look at each other again.

It sounds like the way Xu Yi and Freya get along with each other is far beyond everyone's guesses.

However, they can also hear good news from it, that is, Xu Yi is obviously interested in letting Freya take over.

Since Xu also has this intention, then it is not surprising that Freya will obey his will after all and take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, the next president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can basically be determined, and it is the young and excessively beautiful Miss Freya in front of her.

Thinking of this, everyone's enthusiasm for Freya immediately increased. (To be continued......)
