"Installments?" Steele touched his belly, which was already bulging obviously, thought about it, and nodded, "Yes, this is indeed the idea that Xu Yi proposed to President Cruise. What's the matter?

Akali glanced at Evita and nodded, "Well, I think that's a good idea." You see, if you pay it over ten years, you only need to pay 500 gold coins per year. Evita and I currently earn about 800 to 1,000 gold coins a year, so we can afford it. ”

"That's right. Steele turned to Evita. "What do you think?"

Evita frowned slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Although our current annual income can indeed afford to pay five hundred gold coins, ...... It's not certain that we can earn such a high income every year. In case something goes wrong in the future and we can't afford to pay the follow-up payment, according to the agreement, the house will be repossessed by the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and the Amritri Chamber of Commerce will not return the money to us. ”

"What are you so worried about?" Akali snorted, "Are you still worried that we're going to lose our jobs, or are you worried that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will go out of business?"

Evita glanced at Akali helplessly, this guy, in front of Steele, actually said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would go out of business, it was really a slip of the tongue.

Steele didn't care, but smiled, "I don't think you guys need to worry about that." Every time I asked Xu Yi about your work in the Chamber of Commerce, he praised you very much. I don't think he can fire you unless you quit your job. As for the collapse of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce...... I'm not sure, but I'm confident. Not only will the new flying chamber of commerce not go out of business. On the contrary, it will become stronger and stronger. ”

"Look. Steele said, why don't we make up our minds?" Akali hurriedly encouraged Evita. "Think about it, as long as we buy a house there, we can live in such a beautiful environment in the future, and how happy we are to live every day. ”

Evita still shook her head: "You forgot an important question. We work every day in the Falling Rain Valley, which is 60 kilometres away from Bonta City, and will we be able to make two hour buses every day and go back and forth?"

"It's even more of a concern. Aren't we developing a small magic locomotive for personal use, and we'll buy one by one when the time comes. Every day, I drive the magic locomotive back, and I do the wind. Akali said excitedly.

Steele looked at Evita, who was still a little hesitant, and hesitated for a moment, "It's better to be like this." Evita, if you and Akali are worried that it is not safe to pay in installments with the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, I will lend it to you first. In the future, you will pay me back slowly, just like paying in installments. But you should always be reassured of me, right?"

"Really?" Akali immediately jumped up excitedly, stopped Steele, and put her cheek on Steele's face affectionately, and said happily, "That's great! Steele, that's it." Ever since I saw that house, I've wanted to live in it, and I'm almost going to die. ”

Steele smiled slightly. He pinched Akali's face and looked at Evita again, "Evita, what about you? We are old classmates and old friends, you don't have to be polite to me." ”

Evita gave Steele a deep look, her gaze swept over her bulging belly, then looked around, finally at Steele, and shook her head slowly.

"No, I'm not as interested in this house as Akali is. ”

"Why? It's okay to borrow some money from Steele, right? We can't afford to pay it back, besides, ......."

Akali was halfway through her sentence when Steele covered her hand with her hand.

"Since Evita you don't want to, forget it. However, I believe that with Evita's ability, you may be able to earn five thousand gold coins a year in the future, and you don't need to think about any installments at all, right?"

Evita chuckled, "I hope so." But it depends on whether the elder will be so generous. ”

"Oh, when did I become ungenerous?" Xu Yi's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

The three of them turned their heads together and saw Xu Yi walking in with Bella, Claire and Cecilia.

"Hey, Steele, your belly is a lot bigger. As soon as Bella came in, she rushed straight to Steele, staring at her stomach and exclaiming.

Claire and Cecilia also squeezed over, put down the gifts in their hands, and discussed around Steele's bulging belly, but directly squeezed aside the topic that Steele and the three of them had just discussed.

Seeing several women huddled together and chattering noisily, Xu Yi shook his head and went straight to tell Lisi and Linda to start preparing lunch.

Today, Evita and Steele's old classmates made a special appointment to visit her, but they had to be entertained.

As soon as he walked out of the living room, footsteps sounded behind him, and when he looked back, it was Akara who chased Evita out with him.

"What, what's the matter?" Xu Yixiao asked looking at the slightly apprehensive look that rarely appeared on Akali's face.

"This ...... It's not a big deal...... Lord, Steele just said......"

After listening to Akali talk about what she had just discussed with Steele, Xu Yi smiled, waved his hand and said, "What should I do?" Since Steele has promised you, of course I don't have any opinion. Don't say you're good friends with Steele, it's normal to lend you some money based on our relationship. ”

Akali immediately rushed over happily and hugged Xu Yi's arm and shook it twice: "I knew that you would be the most generous." Alas, if I had known you before Steele, I would have caught up with you, so that I wouldn't have to worry about buying a house now. By the way, Lord Grown, why don't I use my body to pay off this debt?"

Xu Yifu smiled and shook his head: "Okay, don't make this kind of joke, Steele is still inside." ”

After that, he glanced at Evita and tried to persuade her, but after thinking about it, he gave up again.

Everyone's personality is different, Akali can readily accept the loan, but Evita is unwilling, this is not forced.

However, the thought in his mind turned, and Xu Yi suddenly thought of a question, and asked Evita: "By the way, Evita, I haven't asked about the recruitment of personnel from the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, how many researchers are there in our Magic Research Institute now?"

Evita was stunned for a moment by Xu Yi's sudden change of topic, and after thinking for a while, she replied, "There are currently 359 in total." What's wrong?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "It's not growing fast." Last year, there were more than 300, but so far this year, there are only 359, which is too few. ”

"Quite a bit, right?" Akali said in amazement, "Elder, even the magicians under the hands of Grand Eysenka are less than two hundred, and we can have more than three hundred in one chamber of commerce, which is already very scary." ”

"I still think it's too little. Don't you think you're running out of manpower when you do your research again?"

Akali and Evita thought for a moment and nodded at the same time.

"Indeed...... I've been tempted to add a few more assistants to myself lately, but everyone in the institute has their own research projects, so I can't keep myself busy. Akali said.

Evita sighed: "Yes, the research tasks of the Magic Research Institute are very heavy now, and I still have a lot of research and development tasks proposed by the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center in my hands, but I can't find enough suitable people to conduct research." If only two hundred more...... It would be nice to have a hundred more researchers. ”

"Then why do you think other magicians don't want to work in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked again.

Evita and Akali looked at each other and replied, "It's not completely unwilling. After all, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now very famous, and many of our former classmates have asked us about the Chamber of Commerce. I think a lot of magicians don't want to come, probably because they don't want to work in an unfamiliar city so far away, and they are afraid that they will not be comfortable with life here. ”

"You see, that's a big reason. Xu Yi clapped his palms and said. "You two have been working in our New Flying Chamber of Commerce for over two years, and now you still have to think about where to live in Bunta City, so it's no wonder that the other mages are worried about whether they will be able to adapt when they come here. I think that if we can solve the problem of housing and life, so that the magicians who come to work in our chamber of commerce do not have any worries, then there will definitely be many magicians who are willing to come. ”

Evita and Akali looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, thinking that this elder's thinking was really jumpy.

Obviously talking about the fact that the two of them want to buy a house, how could he think of this?

Xu Yi ignored the strange expressions on the faces of the two, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then suddenly strode out.

After walking two steps, he seemed to remember something, turned his head and told the two: "By the way, help me tell Sùsteele, I am in a hurry to see my grandfather now, I can't rush back for dinner at noon, I hope you have a good time here." ”

After saying that, he shook his hand at the two of them and turned around and left.

The two watched blankly as Xu Yi got into the carriage parked outside the manor, and disappeared into the distance like a lightning speed, before he reacted for a while.

"Greece really, we all came to see Steele today, but he's a husband and ran away, what kind of ...... is this" Akali couldn't help but mutter.

"He must have thought of something particularly important, otherwise he wouldn't have done it. Evita explained for Xu Yi.

Akali glanced at Evita, reached out and pinched her face, and teased, "What? You are very protective of him, but it's a pity that you are a coward, you don't even dare to speak your mind, no matter how much you defend him, it is useless." ”

Evita gave her a blank look: "That's better than you saying so blatantly that you want to pay off your debts with your body, okay? What do you think of yourself?

Akali snorted nonchalantly, "I'm willing, you don't care!"

Evita shook her head helplessly, and dragged Akali towards the house. (To be continued......)
