Seveni's arrival made the Falling Star Manor quite busy.
Xu Yi didn't have a habit of hiring servants, so up to this point, there were only Liz and Linda, the two female slaves from the Principality of Constantine doing the housework. Vivian was in school most of the time, so she didn't meddle much.
Now that they had to take care of Seveni, Liz and Linda had to put in all their effort to take care of her, so naturally they were very busy.
Seeing the two female slaves not stop and even having Xu Yi take care of Stiel, Seveni couldn't help shaking her head. She said to Stiel, "I know that Xu Yi doesn't like to treat people as slaves, but it shouldn't be a problem to hire a few more servants, right?
Now that you're pregnant, why don't you find a few more people to take care of you?
He wouldn't be that stingy, right? "
Stiel was already three months pregnant and her stomach had a small bump. She rubbed her stomach when she heard this and replied with a smile, "This is my idea because I don't like having too many people at home, I feel it's too noisy.
Liz and Linda have been here for a long time, so Xu Yi and I treat them as family.
If you find a few more unfamiliar people, I won't be used to it. "
"You're worried?" Seveni asked.
"If you're worried about this, I can have someone find a few people who are definitely trustworthy.
Moreover, they are very experienced in taking care of pregnant women, so they can make it much easier for you. "
"Many thanks for your highness' good intentions, but forget it, I feel it's quite good now."
Seeing that Stiel was firm, Seveni didn't insist. She turned to ask about Stiel's current condition.
Seeing that the two of them were happily chatting and they were gradually talking about something more private, Xu Yi didn't stay on the side and went to help Liz and Linda.
When dinner was almost ready, Vivian came back from Baron Rickto Magic Academy with Teresa.
Xu Yi suddenly thought of a problem. Last month, the new batch of students graduated from Baron Rickto Magic Academy. Many of these students had received bursary funds from New Flyer when they were still in the academy. Therefore, according to the agreement, many of these students would enter New Flyer after graduation.
Xu Yi kept a few students who weren't very talented in magic, and those who urgently needed to start working to make money, to work in various factories to complete the work of setting up magic arrays. Most of the other students were sent to the New Flight College to further their studies.
For example, Orin Zetaman, who left the deepest impression on Xu Yi, actually took the initiative to ask Xu Yi to study at the New Flight College. It was said that his performance in the New Flight College was also very outstanding.
Xu Yi's question was how the students felt about this arrangement.
Because Xu Yi is the president of New Flyer, he certainly can't get a real answer from the students. Vivian is a student of Baron Rickto Magic Academy, so she should have more contact with the other students in private, so she should get a more realistic answer.
"They are all very satisfied." Vivian answered naturally when she heard Xu Yi's question.
"I asked a lot of people, they all said that they learned a lot of new knowledge in the New Flight College, and they are very happy."
"That's good." Xu Yi was relieved and turned to look at Teresa.
"Teresa, what about you, how do you feel working at the Academy of Magic?"
Compared to when Xu Yi first rescued her, Teresa's situation now is much better. Although she still remains silent most of the time, at least when Xu Yi asked her a question, she would still smile.
"I feel very good." Teresa nodded.
"My colleagues at the research institute are very good to me and I'm very happy working there.
Researching magic machines is very interesting, I like it very much. "
"Is that so?
It's good that you're happy. "
Xu Yi hesitated a bit before giving up the idea of asking Teresa about the things hidden in her heart.
She wasn't willing to talk about these things, so asking her wasn't a good thing.
After dinner was prepared, Seveni saw Teresa at the table for the first time, so she couldn't help asking a few questions out of curiosity. However, Teresa was very silent in front of people she wasn't familiar with, so she either nodded or shook her head no matter what Seveni asked. Even if she agreed, it was just a forced un. Seveni naturally felt bored and didn't ask anymore. She turned to care about Stiel's situation.
But when they were leaving after dinner, Seveni called Xu Yi to the side.
"Xu Yi, what is going on with this Teresa?"
"What do you mean what is going on?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"Didn't you just ask? I saw her faint on the road in the middle of the night, so I saved her."
"I'm not asking about this." Seveni shook her head.
"What I want to ask is, what kind of attitude do you have towards her?"
"What kind of attitude can I have ….. She has no home now and since I saved her, I'll help her to the end. I've arranged for her to work in our New Flyer and she usually rests in the Falling Star Manor. There's nothing else."
"You really didn't think of anything?" Seveni slightly knit her brows as she looked at Xu Yi.
"She's very beautiful."
"She is very beautiful, what about it?" Xu Yi asked back in a confused voice.
Seveni seriously looked at Xu Yi's expression for a while before suddenly laughing. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, I was worrying too much.
Our Chairman Xu's head should be filled with ice cold magic machines, how could he think of all these strange things?
Am I right? "
Xu Yi was even more confused, "I say, your highness, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, just stay with Stiel tonight.
She is in the early stages of pregnancy and her emotions aren't stable, so you have to care for her. "
"Of course." Xu Yi nodded.
"In order to stay with her, I specially moved from the Falling Rain Valley to the Falling Star Manor.
Other than the Falling Star Manor being a bit better, it's also because I've been taking care of things in Banta City, so it's more convenient to stay with her. "
"It's good that you can pay attention to this."
Seveni gave a slight nod of praise before waving her hand at Xu Yi, "Alright, go back and stay with Stiel, I'll be heading back first.
Don't go to the City Lord Manor tomorrow morning, we'll meet up at Koror Village. "
Xu Yi laughed, "Then many thanks for the Lord City Lord's understanding."
Seveni revealed a faint smile before turning to enter the horse carriage.
Watching the horse carriage disappear into the night, Xu Yi's expression became a bit strange.
Seveni's visit today was purely personal. Although this showed that she had a good relationship with Xu Yi, if others knew about this, they would definitely have opinions about this.
Although chairman Salak and the others didn't say anything on the surface, based on various signs, they already had some opinions in their hearts.
If Seveni acted too close to him, it would have some influence.
But thinking about it, Xu Yi gave a self deprecating laugh.
Why would he need to worry about this? Anyway, everyone knew that Seveni cared about him and this was a fact that everyone agreed on. Rather than spending time on this problem, it was better to think about how to accompany Stiel.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi remembered that Seveni had reminded him of this problem several times today and had seriously warned him before leaving. Xu Yi couldn't help feeling a bit strange again.
Why did Seveni care about Teresa this much?
Could it be that she thought that he would have some special thoughts about Teresa … …
After thinking for a bit, Xu Yi shook his head. He turned back to the Falling Star Manor and went to his bedroom.
After spending an hour with Stiel as usual, when Stiel was helped by Liz and Linda to take a bath before going to bed, Xu Yi rushed to the study to take care of some work.
The new industrial zone that he discussed with Seveni today was actually around Sandton Manor, rebuilding and expanding the previous Sandton Industrial Zone.
Because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before, there were many small companies that made magic machines and components that built factories around Sandton Manor, naturally forming a small Sandton industrial area.
But this kind of industrial zone that wasn't specially planned was a bit messy. In the long run, there would be many problems.
The most obvious point was that the roads and other facilities weren't convenient to lay down.
Because of Count Stark, the small companies had already moved out of the Sandton Industrial Zone, leaving this place empty again.
Now that Seveni had taken over as Banta City's City Lord, she wanted to develop the industrial zone outside Banta City, so she planned around Sandton Manor.
According to the first step of the plan, they planned to demolish all the original buildings here and lay the corresponding roads, water pipes, street lights, and other supporting facilities. Then they could divide the area according to the planned area so that the various chambers of commerce could rebuild their factories here.
But now there was an important problem. It was that because of Count Stagg, many small companies in Banta City had lost confidence in Banta City.
Because for these small companies, it was impossible for them to be as resistant as a large company like New Flyer. With the slightest change, it was very likely that they would be hurt or even close down.
Last time because of Count Stark, most of these small companies had moved out of Banta City, which made these small companies suffer quite a bit.
Now that Seveni had taken over as Banta City's City Lord and showed that she supported business, especially the development of the magic machine industry, most of the small companies were still watching and didn't dare take risks.
In the end, no one could guarantee what kind of attitude the new City Lord would have after Seveni was no longer Banta City's City Lord.
When Seveni and Xu Yi were discussing this, they focused on how to restore the confidence of these small companies.
