Chapter 163: Two Naïve People
Watching Kennard get into the medium-sized magic bus leading to Anweimar City and disappear at the far end of the road, Xu Yi chuckled and shook his head.
"This Kennard is really, isn't he just going home for the New Year, why did he say so solemnly, and said 'goodbye' to me, which made me startled, and I thought he was going to resign. ”
Heinze beside him frowned slightly: "This is not an impossible thing. I've heard that Emma's family has recently ventured into the magic industry as well, and it makes sense to summon him, a professional who has been the CEO of our Chamber of Commerce for over two years, back to the family. ”
"Because the Emma family wants to get involved in the magic industry, they won't do this kind of thing, because keeping Kennard as the CEO of our Chamber of Commerce will be more beneficial to their development in the magic industry. Xu Yi smiled. "After all, if any chamber of commerce wants to enter the ranks of the magic industry, it must have a good relationship with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Heinze laughed: "Xu Yi, I find that you are becoming more and more like those big people now, and you are always so confident in speaking." ”
"Oh?" Xu Yi glanced at him, thought for a moment and asked, "Baron Hainas has said something similar to me before, could it be that my personality has really changed now?"
Heinze shook his head: "I don't think your personality has changed, it's just ...... How to say it, probably because our chamber of commerce has become stronger, you, the president, will naturally have more confidence than before, so you seem much more confident and domineering. ”
"Why does this sound like I'm a villain," Xu Yi smiled self-deprecatingly....... "Isn't that kid Alex telling you?"
Hearing the name "Alex", Heinze's face immediately sank and he snorted heavily.
"Don't mention this kid to me. I get angry at the mention of him!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly. I thought that Heinze had come to bid farewell to Kennard with him today. If it weren't for Alex, he wouldn't have believed it.
After Alex was driven back from Anvimar City, he stayed at home and did not show up during this time, and Xu Yi had already been mentally prepared for Heinze to come and discuss with him how to deal with Alex.
It's just that Xu Yi didn't expect Heinze to be so breathless, he just came back from Sewell City the day after he came, and he took the initiative to find it.
One can imagine how much pressure Alex put on Heinze by staying at home.
But of course he won't say anything, just pretend to be casual. He continued to ask, "By the way, speaking of Alex, what are his plans for the next step when he returns from Anvimar City? ”
"Well, that's what I thought too. This ......" Heinze showed a very ashamed smile, and even brought a little flattery: "Xu Yi, I have scolded this kid enough during this time, and he himself regrets it, he was completely confused at that time. So...... Hopefully you'll be able to give him another chance, you see......"
"It's not like a moment of confusion can explain the past. Xu Yizheng shook his head. "Heinze. You should know very well that if I hadn't found out early and let him leak the secrets of our Chamber of Commerce like this, the damage caused would be very serious, and he wouldn't have been able to afford it at all. And to be honest, he had even been in contact with the people of the Sark Kingdom before, and wanted to sell the confidential technical information of our Chamber of Commerce to the Sark Kingdom. Did you know that this can be considered treason?"
"No, ......" Heinze's face was very ugly. "He's really just confused, absolutely not thinking like that. He regrets it very much now, he shouldn't have been so confused as to sell the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce in order to covet so much money. Xu Yi...... You...... I've never begged you for so many years, and I'll beg you this time, okay?"
Looking at Heinze's pleading face, Xu Yi sighed deeply and patted Heinze's shoulder gently: "He's just your nephew, you have to do so much for him." If that kid grows up and needs your help, are you going to dig up all your flesh to help him?"
Heinze smiled bitterly: "No way, he is my only nephew after all." More than 10 years ago, my eldest brother and sister-in-law died in that turmoil, and I entrusted him to me, who was not yet ten years old at the time, and it is my responsibility to take care of him. ”
"Take care of him, not spoil him. Xu Yi shook his head slightly, glanced at Heinze again, and sighed again. "Okay, although it violates the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, but you have said this, I will give him another chance. The Chamber of Commerce is about to form a transport brigade, and you ask him to take the driver's license test first and go to the transport brigade as a driver. As long as he is willing to endure hardships, it is not impossible for him to be promoted to the captain of the transportation brigade or even the head of the transportation department in the future. I hope he will seize this opportunity and do it for himself. ”
Seeing that Xu Yi finally nodded, Heinze's eyes suddenly lit up, he was overjoyed, grabbed Xu Yi's hand and shook it vigorously: "Okay, thank you, President, thank you for giving him this opportunity." I'm going to go back and sue him, so that he will do a good job in the future!"
Seeing Heinze turn around and leave quickly, Xu Yi frowned slightly.
In fact, he was not optimistic about Alex in his heart.
The reason why Alex did the thing of exchanging the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce for gold coins when he was in Anvimar City was completely corrupted by the life of Anvimar City.
He is accustomed to the kind of drunken life, can he really endure hardships and insist on doing a good job as a transport driver?
Hui was also deeply skeptical.
Although there were many other jobs in the Chamber of Commerce that could be assigned to Alex, Xu Yi had completely lost trust in him, and it was naturally impossible to hand over anything else that might have access to the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce to him.
Just like what he said to Heinze just now, what Alex did could even be punished for treason, Xu Yi just forcibly drove him back from Anweimar City, and he had already completely seen Heinze's face.
If you want him to enjoy any good treatment and good jobs, it is undoubtedly unfair to others and irresponsible to the entire Chamber of Commerce.
I thought of Heinze's demeanor when he interceded for Alex just now. Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh deeply again.
"Others are pitiful parents in the world. Heinze, what is this? Pity the second uncle in the world?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He got into the carriage and headed for the city lord's mansion.
When he met Xu Yi, Sevigny happened to be in a rare break.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, Sevigny immediately put down the hot drink that had been brought to his lips and showed a smile full of joy.
"Xu Yi, you're finally back. ”
Xu Yi raised his hand and said hello, with a casual expression.
"Hey, Your Highness. I'm back, how are you doing during this time?"
Sevini pointed to the piles of text on the desk in front of him: "What do you think?"
Xu Yi laughed: "This is the job of being a city lord." When you become the queen by then, I guarantee that you will need to sign several times more documents than you do now. ”
Sevini sighed faintly: "Yes, I used to see my father handle official business, and I was frightened by that pile of essays at that time. So I'm hesitant now, if I want to go to the throne, I'm going to face such a difficult situation, and I'm worried that I won't be able to handle it. ”
Hearing the hidden meaning of Sevigny's words, Xu Yi frowned, and said with a straight face: "Her Royal Highness." It's not like you can't do it if you don't want to. If you give up, you give up a lot of people who have always supported you. There was a pause. Xu also pointed to himself. "Or to put it more bluntly, someone like me is completely sold by you. ”
Sevini glanced at Xu Yi and said with a smile: "President Xu, even if I want to sell you, someone needs someone to be able to afford it, don't forget, your current value can even lead others to want to deal with you even if they collude with the Sark Kingdom." ”
Hearing Sevini mention this matter, Xu Yi frowned deeply: "What about the prisoners I sent back? If it weren't for my thorough preparation this time, I wouldn't have been able to come back." ”
"I have left them in the hands of my father, so I don't know what is going on with them. Sevini replied.
"His Majesty the King?"
Xu Yi thought about it, thinking that the reason why His Majesty the King used a head-on conflict with the noble council this time was also to show his support for himself, in addition to taking this opportunity to deter those ill-intentioned guys in the noble council, it could also be regarded as a warning to all the nobles in the kingdom, and the reason was probably here.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi put down the discussion of this matter.
Now that the matter has been handed over to His Majesty the King, there is no need for him to interfere anymore.
But the corresponding response still has to be done, so Xu Yi thought about it and asked Sevigny another very important question.
"Is it a noble private army?" Sevigny frowned slightly, and glanced at Xu Yi a little strangely. "Why did you suddenly think of this? Didn't you always oppose the nobles having private arms, thinking that it was harmful to maintaining the stability of the kingdom?"
"It's just for self-preservation, Your Highness the princess, you should understand why. ”
Sevini sighed deeply: "I can understand your thoughts, but thinking that even you are forced to change, I suddenly feel that the world is really disappointing. ”
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders: "Your Royal Highness, we are not children, so we should have expected such a day." It's just that I didn't expect the other party to be so anxious that I had to advance this day so much. I think if you were there on the night of the attack on our convoy, you would have understood my urgency. ”
Sevini shook his head slightly: "No, even if I'm not there, I can understand your thoughts, and I'm very supportive." Merely...... Xu Yi, do you know that I have always been moved by your lofty and great ideals, so I very much hope that you can continue to be so pure. But now that even you can't escape this fate in the end, it's really ...... Very disappointed. Of course, this is not a disappointment for you. ”
"Aren't you, who have this idea, actually very idealistic, or naïve in the eyes of others, just like me?" Xu Yi said with a smile. "Sevigny, maybe that's why we're attracted to each other, isn't it?"
As soon as the words came out, Xu Yi suddenly reacted, this statement is too much.
However, at this time, it was too deliberate to change his words, so he could only cough dryly, don't turn his face, and quickly changed the question in embarrassment: "That...... Your Royal Highness, you haven't told me how much the noble private army can have. ”
Sevigny's face was slightly red, but he still looked directly at Xu Yi and smiled: "Theoretically, it is infinite. (To be continued......)
