The car fell into silence as everyone looked in the direction of the voice in a daze.
Even the car trembled before quickly turning back to normal. It was clear that the driver in charge of driving the Magic Car was shocked by these words and couldn't help affecting his control of the Magic Car.
Seveni had been thinking about how to improve the suggestions of the people in the car, but after hearing these words, she was stunned. She looked to the left and found a middle aged man who looked to be at least fifty years old looking at the people in the car with a look of provocation and ridicule.
"What?
You can't accept it?
If it was up to me, this highness doesn't have a brain at all!
She only knows how to let the people under her do things, listening to that Xu Yi from New Flyer, she doesn't have any skills at all.
This kind of person should just be a princess for her entire life, why would she come to be the City Lord and even want to be our queen?
This is simply a joke! "
Hearing this, everyone in the car was instantly enraged.
Shaq pointed at his nose without any courtesy and roared in a deep voice, "You really are bold!
Is her highness someone you can casually talk about?
What qualifications do you have? "
"That's right, you actually dare say that her highness doesn't have any skills?
Do you think we're all blind? "Another passenger chimed in.
Another passenger also added, "When Count Stark was the City Lord, everyone almost lost their good lives.
Now that her highness has been the City Lord for less than half a year, do you see how much the city has changed?
What kind of life is everyone living? "
"That's right.
You can't talk about anyone, but you dare talk about Chairman Xu?
If it wasn't for Chairman Xu and the New Flyer bringing all these new things to our Banta City, how could everyone be living such good lives?
Isn't that right, everyone? "
"Right.
It's because Chairman Xu and the New Flyer brought Banta City that everyone can live such good lives. "
"You can't just talk about Chairman Xu and the New Flyer. Didn't you see that when Count Stark was the City Lord, Chairman Xu couldn't do anything.
So it's her highness who has the most merit.
Only with her as our Banta City's City Lord can our Banta City develop the best. "
"That's right. If it was up to me, I would rather her highness not be the queen and just be our Banta City's City Lord, that way we can live such good lives."
"That's not right. If her highness can become the queen, I believe that our Lampari Kingdom's direction of Banta City."
"Un, that's right … …"
… …
As these people spoke, they began to praise Seveni again, while also fiercely praising Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
That middle aged man kept giving a cold laugh, but he didn't taunt them again, so they didn't look for trouble with him.
But with a common goal like him, everyone's discussions became louder and more focused.
Perhaps he felt that it was boring to stay in the car or perhaps he had already arrived at his destination, but when the Magic Car stopped at the next stop, the middle aged man got out.
Seveni thought about it before getting out of the car behind him.
Looking up after getting out, Seveni found that there was the Sandy River not far from this stop. On the bank of the river was the Dawn Villa Community that the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had just built.
Seeing the middle aged man walk into the community after getting out of the car, Seveni was even more confused.
Based on his clothes, this middle aged man shouldn't be a rich person. No matter how she looked at it, he shouldn't be someone who could afford to live in such a high class community, so what was he doing here?
If it was said that he was acquainted with someone living here, the people living here were all people who benefited from the development of Banta City. That was why they could afford a villa that cost at least eight thousand gold coins, so how could they be acquainted with him?
Seveni followed the middle aged man into the community. Seeing him approach, the two guards at the gate noticed him and prepared to stop him.
However, the middle aged man stopped not far away from the gate. He reached into his chest and took out a roll of cloth. Shaking it, he found that there was an iron rod attached to both sides of the cloth.
The middle aged man inserted one end of the iron rod into the dirt on the side of the road and pulled the cloth to the other side before inserting the other end of the iron rod into the dirt.
The white cloth was unrolled, revealing a row of large words written in blood-red.
"The Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce is heartless!
Destroying my home!
Her highness Seveni has no humanity!
Colluding with merchants is shameful! "
Seeing these large words, Seveni was stunned.
It was fine if he said that the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce was heartless, but why did he say that she had no humanity?
As for colluding with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce ….. For the development of Banta City, the City Lord Manor cooperated with all the companies in Banta City, with the most representative being the New Flyer.
This person didn't bring out the New Flyer, rather he brought out the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, just why was it?
Seveni racked her brains for a while, but she found that because the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce was involved in many areas of Banta City's renovation project and had a wide range of cooperation with the City Lord Manor, she couldn't make any guesses at all.
The two guards at the gate saw this and after being stunned, they quickly walked over to the middle aged man, looking like they wanted to ask what was going on.
Who would have thought that when the two guards approached, the middle aged man would suddenly reach into his chest and take out a shining dagger.
The two guards were startled, but they immediately chuckled and continued to approach.
For these two guards who had retired from the army, a middle aged man who didn't seem strong just holding a dagger wasn't a threat at all.
However, the middle aged man didn't plan on using the dagger to attack them. Rather he turned his hand and pointed the dagger at his throat, loudly shouting, "You're not allowed to come over!
If you come any closer, I'll stab down! "
The two guards were stunned and couldn't help stopping.
This fellow using suicide to threaten them made it hard for the two guards.
When the two guards and Seveni were in a daze, there was a medium sized Magic Car that stopped on the road behind them. A group of people came out of the car and ran to the middle aged man's side, surrounding him. Then they all took out daggers from their chests and pointed them at their throats, taking the same stance as the middle aged man.
Seeing that there were men and women, old and young in this group, and there were even two children who weren't even ten years old, Seveni deeply knit her brows.
Just what did the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce do to force these normal citizens into this kind of situation?
###
"Your highness, I've been wronged!" Chairman Cruz had a tearful look as he looked at Seveni with an aggrieved look.
"You should be very clear about the things our Chamber of Commerce has done. When have we done anything devoid of conscience?
Those fellows ….. Those fellows are just causing trouble for no reason! "
Seveni looked around and didn't say a thing.
President Cruise immediately understood and waved his hand to signal the others in the room to leave.
When there were only the two of them left, chairman Cruz looked at Seveni with a nervous look as his heart filled with unease.
When he received the news, he didn't care at first since this wasn't the first time the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had encountered this kind of thing.
But when he rushed over, he was shocked to find that her highness Seveni was also here, which scared him quite a bit.
Although to him, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce didn't do anything wrong, with such a large matter and such a bad influence, her highness Seveni would definitely be very angry.
But since she saw him until now, her highness Seveni didn't seem angry at all, but chairman Cruz didn't dare be careless.
"Speak, just what is going on?"
Seveni looked into chairman Cruz's eyes and calmly asked, "Why did those citizens say that your company destroyed their homes?"
Chairman Cruz rubbed his hands and thought for a bit before saying, "Your highness, the Sanglang Canal project has already been completed, you should know about this, right?"
Seveni nodded, "I know.
What?
Are they related to the Sanglang Canal project? "
"Un.
These people are villagers from a village beside the Sanglang Canal. Because the canal passed by their village, it took a piece of farmland from their village.
They're here to cause trouble because of these farmlands. "
Seveni knit her beautiful brows, "Didn't I tell chairman Porter to properly take care of the matters related to the Sanglang Canal project?
Moreover, why didn't these citizens go to the Porter Chamber of Commerce for this matter and came to cause trouble for your Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce? "
Chairman Cruz said with a bitter smile, "Because the one in charge of the project was our company. Those citizens only know that our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce dug up their farmland, so they are targeting our company."
"Then why did they agree to let you dig it up and why are they causing trouble now?" Seveni asked in a confused voice.
"Chairman Porter promised them that after digging up their farmland, he would give them some gold coins as compensation. He would also arrange for them to work for a company in Banta City, giving them a stable income.
They agreed very well, so we dug it up.
Who knew … … "
After saying this, chairman Cruz suddenly stopped.
"What is it?" Seveni looked at him.
Chairman Cruz gave a bitter laugh and shook his head. It was hard to tell if he was angry or found it funny.
"When I was negotiating with those people just now, I asked them why they came here to cause trouble again. In the end, they said that they were all fired from their previous chambers of commerce and lost their jobs. Now, they have no income and can't live anymore, so they came to cause trouble."
Seveni was stunned, "Why were they fired?
Didn't chairman Porter arrange for them to work for those companies? "
"I asked some people just now. Can you guess why they were fired by those Chambers of Commerce?"
Seveni shook her head.
Chairman Cruz said with a strange expression, "Chairman Porter found Chairman Xu for help when arranging for them and then Chairman Xu used his connections to arrange for them to work for several companies in the city that also produced magic machines.
But these people didn't know any skills and weren't willing to learn, so they couldn't meet the requirements of those companies at all. So they were all fired. "
Seeing the strange expression on Seveni's face, chairman Cruz quickly added, "Your highness, you have to believe that if it wasn't for the fact that they weren't that good, I think that those companies wouldn't have fired them on account of Chairman Xu."
Seveni nodded, "I understand.
But this matter has reminded me of a problem. "
"What problem?" Chairman Cruz asked in a curious voice.
"Xu Yi mentioned this problem to me before.
He said that the magic machine industry is developing very quickly, so there is a higher requirement for the skills of the workers. There is a higher requirement for qualified workers, so if we rely on the companies of Banta City to train them, it will be far from enough. "
Chairman Cruz immediately agreed with a nod, "Un, I have a deep understanding of this.
Normally speaking, most of our company's work is simple physical work that doesn't require any skills.
But now that there are more and more projects, we need more and more magic machines, but our company can't find enough workers to operate these magic machines, so many projects are affected. "
"So the problem that Xu Yi mentioned before is very important.
How to turn people into important manpower requires large amounts of investment. "
Seveni thought about it before saying to chairman Cruz, "Chairman Cruz, take out some people. I'm planning to build a vocational training school outside the city."
