Xu Yi and Stiel were stunned at the same time, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Xu Yi was extremely annoyed. Just now, the atmosphere between him and Stiel was so good, and they were about to finish a passionate kiss in the morning, but they were interrupted by this guy.
And this guy could have scolded anyone, but he actually scolded him. How could he tolerate this?
Xu Yi let go of Stiel, frowned, and walked in the direction of the sound.
He wanted to see which idiot was so blind.
Who would have thought that after just two steps, he suddenly heard a "plop" sound from that direction, as if something heavy fell into the water.
Xu Yi was stunned, and looked back at Stiel, who was also stunned, and shouted "Oh no!" at the same time. Without thinking too much, he cast the Imperial Wind Technique on himself and flew directly to the river.
The two instantly flew to the surface of the river, and looking down, they found that on the wide Sandy River, a figure was bobbing up and down along with the flowing water.
While floating, that person was still shouting for help.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little angry and amused.
Sure enough, people who commit suicide are impulsive, and when they are faced with death, they will regret it.
Xu Yi sighed, shook his head, and flew down. With one hand, he grabbed the collar on the back of the man's back, and directly lifted him out of the river.
Carrying the man, he flew to the river and put him down. The man rolled on the ground and vomited a few mouthfuls of river water before he recovered.
When he finally stopped gasping for breath, he looked up and saw Xu Yi and Stiel in front of him, and repeatedly thanked them, "Thank you for saving my life, may I ask where you live?
What is your name?
I will pay you a special visit to thank you. "
Xu Yi looked the man up and down and found that although the man looked a little disheveled after being soaked in the river, from the clothes he was wearing, he didn't seem to be from a poor family. Moreover, his speech and behavior were very decent. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like someone who would commit suicide because of poverty.
Xu Yi thought about how this guy had scolded him before he jumped into the river. Amused, he asked, "You were scolding me so happily just now, but now you don't recognize me?
Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, but you can't possibly not recognize Stiel, right? "
Stiel didn't have time to respond to Xu Yi's praise. Instead, she squatted down, looked straight at the man, and asked coldly, "Why are you scolding Xu Yi?
Did he offend you? "
That person looked at Stiel in surprise before looking up at Xu Yi. The two of them had their backs to the sun, so he didn't recognize them. But now that he looked at them from a different angle, he instantly recognized the two of them.
Xu Yi wasn't wrong at all. As someone from Banta City, it was fine if he couldn't recognize Xu Yi, but if he couldn't even recognize Stiel, that was impossible.
However, after recognizing the two of them, that person seemed to be frightened by something. His hands were on the ground as he moved back several meters.
When Xu Yi and Stiel were confused and wanted to keep asking, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and pointed at Xu Yi as he shouted, "Xu Yi!
You are Xu Yi!
You bastard!
Give me back my fleet! "
Xu Yi was even more confused. Looking at the angry face of this person who didn't dare approach him because of fear, he couldn't help saying, "Hey, I don't even know who you are, how can I return your fleet?
Then again, I don't even know what fleet you are talking about, what do you want me to return? "
Stiel looked at that person with knit brows for a while before suddenly clapping her hands and saying, "Oh, I remember now. You seem to be the Porter Chamber of Commerce's chairman. You're called ….. What is your name again?"
"Cimila Porter."
That person never thought that Stiel would recognize him. After being stunned, the angry expression on his face faded and he said with a bitter smile, "I never thought that even after becoming like this, young miss Stiel could still recognize me.
That's right, I am the Porter Chamber of Commerce's chairman, but the Porter Chamber of Commerce ….. is no longer here. "
Xu Yi looked at Stiel, signaling for her to talk to this Cimila Porter first.
Stiel nodded in understanding. After thinking for a while, she continued to ask Cimila Porter, "Chairman Porter, I remember that the last time I met you was at a banquet held by the Sarak Chamber of Commerce.
If I remember correctly, your Porter Chamber of Commerce was mainly engaged in river transportation, right? "
"Young miss Stiel's memory is really amazing." Cimila Porter praised.
"That's right, our Porter Chamber of Commerce was indeed mainly engaged in river transportation.
But now ….. "Cimila Porter shot a glance at Xu Yi, his face full of hatred.
"….. But because of Chairman Xu, our Chamber of Commerce was forced to close down because we couldn't get any business.
My beloved fleet has also been sold off. Perhaps it has already been dismantled into pieces of wood. "
Xu Yi knit his brows and couldn't help but ask, "Chairman Porter, your Chamber of Commerce couldn't get any business and was forced to close down. What does this have to do with me?"
"How can it not have anything to do with me!"
When answering Stiel's question, this Cimila Porter was still able to maintain his calm. But when he heard Xu Yi speak, he immediately became irritable and loudly replied, "If it wasn't for your New Flyer building the damned roads, if it wasn't for your New Flyer controlling the upper reaches of the Sandy River, how could our Chamber of Commerce not get any business?
How could we close down?
All of this is because of you!
You still dare to say it has nothing to do with you? "
Xu Yi was still very puzzled, "I still don't understand. What does building roads and controlling the upper reaches of the Sandy River have to do with your Porter Chamber of Commerce not being able to get any business?"
Cimila Porter fiercely glared at Xu Yi. He seemed to have realized that he couldn't communicate well with Xu Yi like this, so he took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
"You think it has nothing to do with you, Chairman Xu?" Cimila Porter sneered.
"Let me tell you, it has a lot to do with it!
Before your New Flyer built that damned road, whether it was goods or people, it was much faster to travel on the river than on land and you could transport more at a time.
So before this, half of Banta City's goods could be transported by our Porter Chamber of Commerce through the Sandy River.
However, after this damned road was built, everyone found that it was faster to travel on land than on the river. Moreover, they could directly transport to their destination and didn't need to go around on boats.
Compared to this, of course there were fewer and fewer people who chose our company to transport goods on the river. "
"That isn't right. The river can transport large amounts of goods, this is something that the current land transport can't replace." Xu Yi asked in a strange voice.
"Great Sect?" Cimila Potter sneered again.
Cimila Porter gave another cold laugh, "Did you forget the other reason I mentioned?"
"Controlling the upper reaches of the Sandy River?
What does that have to do with anything? "
"Of course it has to do with anything."
Cimila Porter pointed at the surging Sandy River to the side, "Your New Flyer controlled the upper reaches of the Sandy River to the northwest of the Falling Rain Forest, so the Sandy River has indeed returned to its original state. However, the sediment from the Sandy River didn't settle in the Falling Rain Forest upstream, rather it was washed near Banta City.
Carefully look at the river water, could it be that you haven't found that it is much more muddy compared to last year? "
Xu Yi and Stiel looked at the Sandy River to the side at the same time. Xu Yi didn't find any problems, but Stiel said with a nod, "Un ….. I wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't mention it.
Compared to when I was young, the river water indeed isn't as clean. "
Cimila Porter gave a loud laugh, "Ha, Chairman Xu, have you noticed the problem now?
Now that the sediment from the upper reaches of the Sandy River has been washed near Banta City, it isn't just making the river muddy.
Let me tell you, I've been running on this river for several decades, so I'm very familiar with this matter.
I'm certain that in just a few years, the water level of this river will rise because of the sediment. When that time comes, there will only be a single storm and you can just wait to see the flood.
I heard that you wanted to build a river bank project last time, you wanted to build a garden on the banks of the Sandy River.
Ha!
Garden?
When the flood comes, it would be good if this place didn't turn into a cemetery! "
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before walking to the river bank. He reached out a hand and activated his magic, causing a stream of water to appear on the river bank before gathering into a ball of water in the air.
Xu Yi and Stiel looked up at this giant ball of water that was over two meters in diameter and found that the colour of the water was very muddy. Because Xu Yi had stopped the flow of the water under the ball of water, there was a layer of sediment that was naturally deposited.
The two looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes.
Although Cimila Porter's words were a bit alarmist, based on the current situation of the Sandy River, this was indeed a matter that was worth paying attention to.
The level of technology in the Sines wasn't high, so the level of the water conservancy project wasn't that high. No matter where the flood happened before, it would always lead to very serious consequences.
The Sandy River had never flooded before, so no one in Banta City thought of this problem. But looking at it now, this was a problem that needed to be solved.
Xu Yi turned to look at Cimila Porter and gave him a nod before saying with a serious look, "Thank you."
Cimila Porter was stunned. He never thought that after speaking so harshly to Xu Yi, Xu Yi would actually sincerely thank him.
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for noticing the changes in the Sandy River and telling me about this serious situation." Xu Yi replied.
"Although this can't be considered the responsibility of me and the New Flyer, since it's related to me, I have to take responsibility.
So I have to thank you. If it wasn't for you making me notice this problem, when the problem really occurred, it would have been too late. "
Seeing Xu Yi's sincere expression, Cimila Porter's expression quickly changed. After a while, it became dejected as he waved his hand and said with a sigh, "Forget it, our company being forced to close because we can't get any business. This is because my abilities aren't good enough, it can't be blamed on you.
I was wrong for scolding you just now, I ask you not to put it in your heart. "
Xu Yi shook his head with a faint smile, "This is a small matter.
But chairman Porter, what are you planning to do in the future? "
"Me?" Cimila Potter laughed bitterly.
Cimila Porter gave a bitter laugh, "The fleet is gone and the company is closed, what else can I do?
I don't even have the courage to commit suicide, so I'll just find a job and eat until I die. "
"That isn't certain." Xu Yi revealed a confident smile.
"Chairman Porter, if you believe me, I have a job that is very suitable for you.
Moreover, I dare to guarantee that it won't be long before everyone places importance on river transport.
When that time comes, I can help you create a new fleet.
Are you ….. willing to believe me? "
