Xu Yi had just walked out the door of the City Lord's Manor when Cimila Porter who had been waiting for a long time came forward.
"How is it?" Cimila Porter asked with an expectant look.
Xu Yi replied with a smile, "There's no problem.
Although Count Stark didn't completely agree, he said to me that there are no laws in the Lampari Kingdom that forbid companies from doing business, so any company can do business in Banta City and the City Lord's Manor won't interfere. "
"Oh?
Does that mean our new City Lord has finally admitted defeat? "Cimila Potter was immediately overjoyed.
Cimila Porter was overjoyed, "Ha, ha, I knew that his agricultural promotion policy wouldn't last sooner or later.
Now it's good, he's suffering himself. "
Xu Yi shook his head and signaled for Cimila Porter to follow him into the horse carriage waiting outside. When the horse carriage started moving, he said in a low voice, "Although Count Stark should have realized his mistake, his basic attitude and position definitely won't change.
So we can treat it as him tacitly agreeing that we can continue doing what we stopped, but we can't make it too obvious or be too arrogant.
If it causes a backlash from Count Stagg, my previous efforts will be wasted. "
Cimila Porter gave a serious nod, "I understand.
Chairman Xu, you must have paid a large price to convince him to let us continue the canal project, right? "
"It can't be said that I paid a price. Strictly speaking, I just wanted to make a deal with him, but this deal is very helpful to the grain development of Banta City that he cares about the most."
Cimila Porter looked at Xu Yi. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he gave up on this question after thinking about it.
Anyway, the canal project that he cared about the most, after being stopped for half a year under Count Stark's orders, it could finally start again, so he was already happy enough.
"Chairman Xu, did the Lord City Lord say when we can start?" Cimila Porter kept asking.
"I hope that it can be done as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the dry season of winter, the canal project will be much easier compared to normal."
"If you're willing, we can start tomorrow." Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
"Since Count Stark has already expressed his attitude, it means that the City Lord Manor won't interfere.
As long as you keep a low profile, I think there won't be any problems. "
"That's great!"
Cimila Porter excitedly clapped his hands, but then he was stunned as he said with a bitter smile, "Chairman Xu, you must be joking with me, right?
Tomorrow is the first day of the year, how many workers are willing to work at this time? "
"It's good that you know." Xu Yi laughed, "So you can't be too anxious.
How about this, we'll temporarily start work on the seventh day of the new year. It'll also allow me to give you a few of our company's newest 2.0 Magic Excavators, which should speed up the work quite a bit. "
"There are new Magic Excavators that can be used?
That's great! "Cimila Porter immediately broke out in a happy laugh.
Looking at Cimila Porter who was filled with passion, energy, and fighting spirit, as if he had endless energy, he thought that no one would be able to connect him with the depressed fellow who wanted to commit suicide when Xu Yi met him for the first time.
Giving him the responsibility of the canal project really was appropriate.
"Right, Chairman Xu, when I was helping Eiffel City clean up the Rum River, the Eiffel City Lord asked me about the Magic Excavators, Magic Excavators, Magic Excavators, and other construction magic machines. I recommended your New Flyer to him.
I think that after New Years, Eiffel City should send someone to discuss the matter of buying these magic machines. "Cimila Porter then said.
"Oh?
This means that you've helped our company pull in some business.
Ha, ha, should I give you a commission according to the rules? "Xu Yi said in a teasing voice.
Cimila Porter quickly waved his hand, "Chairman Xu, don't joke with me like this.
I really want your New Flyer's construction magic machines to popularize the Lampari Kingdom. When that time comes, my fleet will be able to move unimpeded through the Lampari Kingdom. "
After pausing, he then asked, "That ….. Chairman Xu, speaking of fleets, when will the Magic Boats you mentioned be made?"
"I'm very sorry, I can't give you an exact time." Xu Yi shook his head.
"But I can tell you that the most important technical problems of the Magic Boats have already been solved, so I'm certain that this thing will be developed in the next few days.
According to my estimation, when the canal connecting the Sandy River and the Rum River is truly opened, you can lead such a fleet to sail over. "
"Really?
That would be great! "
Cimila Porter excitedly waved his fist. He looked at Xu Yi with a wide smile as he said, "Chairman Xu, there are times when I really don't know if I should hate you or thank you.
If it wasn't for you, my fleet wouldn't have fallen to the point where there was no business to do, forcing me to have thoughts of suicide.
But if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been saved and I would have had the fleet of my dreams. "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "It's up to you. You can hate me or thank me, but you've done what I wanted you to do and that's enough."
"Yes, what you said makes sense." Cimila Potter nodded heavily.
Cimila Porter gave a strong nod, "It has to be said, Chairman Xu, your boldness is much greater than normal people's.
I don't need to worry about those random things when cooperating with you, it's much easier. "
"It's good that you're satisfied, we'll have many chances to cooperate in the future."
The two discussed the canal project for a while before the horse carriage carrying the two of them left Banta City. Cimila Porter declined Xu Yi's invitation to be a guest at the Falling Star Manor and changed into another horse carriage, heading to the mouth of the Sandy River.
Based on his appearance, it was clear that he didn't care about the New Years and wanted to quickly open the canal.
Xu Yi admired his work spirit, but he wouldn't do the same thing as him.
To him, he could focus on work at other times, but with the New Years coming, the most important thing was to spend time with his family and enjoy the New Years.
When the horse carriage entered the Falling Star Manor, Stiel immediately came out to greet them.
After seeing Xu Yi, Stiel had a ghost of a smile that was a bit strange.
Xu Yi wiped his face and said in a confused voice, "It's nothing, right?
Why are you looking at me like this? "
Stiel came over and reached out to pinch Xu Yi's face before giving a soft snort, "I don't mind if you want to keep a mistress, but why did you discuss this with Evita?
Could it be that you also have thoughts about Evita? "
Xu Yi was stunned before loudly complaining, "When did I want to keep a mistress?
Then again, what does this have to do with Evita?
I just wanted to ask her about your thoughts. "
Seeing Xu Yi's nervous appearance, Stiel wanted to keep a straight face, but she couldn't help laughing in the end. She even couldn't help holding her stomach as she bent over in laughter.
Seeing her appearance, Xu Yi knew that she wasn't angry and instantly calmed down.
When Still calmed down a bit, Xu Yi hugged her and pulled her into his embrace. He looked at her and said with a soft snort, "I really underestimated the deep friendship between you and Evita.
She even told you this kind of thing, isn't she afraid that I'll cause trouble for her? "
"You won't." Stiel gave a soft snort.
"Our respectable peerless man Xu Yi, Chairman Xu, how could he be so petty as to cause trouble for a girl like Evita?
Don't you think so? "
Xu Yi glared at her in annoyance, "What?
Is this what Evita told you? "
"Of course not.
Don't you know what kind of personality Evita has?
She praised you for half a day in front of me and even told me to cherish you. She said that a good man and husband like you is one of a kind and I can't let you hate me, so I have to be good to you.
Hei, to be honest, Xu Yi, what do you think of Evita? "
"What do you mean by asking this question?" Xu Yi asked back with a frown.
"Answer my question first."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about her as a girl. What do you think of her as a man?" Stiel continued to ask.
"This ….. is very good.
I feel that Evita's personality is quiet, kind, and considerate. She will think of others and is a very good girl. "
"Then do you think she's pretty?" Stiel asked again.
"Un ….. Although she's not as pretty as you, she can still be considered pretty.
The most important thing is that she makes people feel comfortable. I think that as long as it's a man, they would like a girl like her. "Seeing that Still was very serious, Xu Yi honestly replied.
"So you're saying that you like her too?"
Xu Yi frowned again, "Stiel, what's wrong with you today?
Why do you have to ask this question?
I do think that Evita is a very good girl, but this has nothing to do with whether I like her or not. "
Stiel stared at Xu Yi for a while. Her large eyes turned and she suddenly revealed a charming smile. She lightly kissed Xu Yi's lips and pulled his hand into the manor. She didn't plan on continuing this topic.
Xu Yi was confused by Stiel's strange reaction. But thinking about how people often told him that a girl's mind was hard to understand, he shook his head with a smile and didn't ask anymore.
