"Hey, Lord City Lord, Chairman Xu, what are you talking about?"
Xu Yi turned to look and found that it was Baron Belil. He immediately apologized to Count Will and pulled Baron Belil to the side as he asked in a low voice, "Weren't you going to greet the representative sent by his highness Frank?
Why are you here now?
Where are they now? "
Baron Belil looked around before coming closer to Xu Yi and saying in a low voice, "I came looking for you because of them.
The representative sent by his highness Frank is here and they want to meet you before the race.
I can see that they seem to have something to discuss with you. "
Xu Yi nodded, not being surprised at all.
If his highness Frank really sent a representative to participate in this race, it would be strange.
Now that he heard Baron Belil's words, he was much more assured.
Xu Yi turned to look at the lively Banta City bicycle race and replied, "Alright, I'll head over after the opening ceremony. Have them wait a bit.
Greet them in my name first, I'll ….. come find you in around two hours. "
"I'm afraid that won't do." Baron Belil shook his head with a troubled expression.
Baron Belil revealed a troubled expression, "Chairman Xu, the representative sent by his highness wants you to meet them immediately. If you're late ….. I'm afraid ….."
Xu Yi was a bit surprised before his face sunk and he gave a cold snort, "What?
They can't even wait for two hours? "
Baron Belil's expression was very awkward, "Chairman Xu ….. You know ….. They ….. They are representing his highness Frank, ke ….. They ….. They have a bit of ….. respect for their status."
"Respect for their status?" Xu Yi looked over Baron Belil with a cold smile, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Chairman Xu, you mustn't take this to heart.
I'll say something you don't like to hear, but if you want to cooperate with his highness Frank, you really have to look at their faces ….. So ….. you shouldn't care that much, right?
You are right, aren't you? "
Seeing Baron Belil's bitter smile, Xu Yi knit his brows. After being silent for a bit, he didn't move as he shook his head and said, "No, I always attend the opening ceremony of the Banta City bicycle race each year and this year won't be an exception.
I'll have to trouble you to tell the representative sent by Prince Frank that I have something important to do right now. Please ask them to wait patiently for a period of time. I'll settle the matter here as soon as possible and then meet them. "
"But …"
"No buts." Xu Yi waved his hand and interrupted Baron Belil.
"This is my decision. Tell them for me."
Baron Belil opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue and helplessly said, "Alright, I'll go entertain them first.
Chairman Xu, you … have to come quickly. "
Seeing Baron Belil leave in a hurry, Xu Yi slightly knit his brows.
When he sneaked into the Kandla Empire with Baron Belil to see Prince Frank, but he only met his housekeeper, Xu Yi had already had a deep impression of Prince Frank's arrogance.
Now that Prince Frank had taken the initiative to send a representative to participate in the competition, it was obvious that he had taken the initiative to cooperate. However, his representatives were still acting in such a manner, which really made him feel very unhappy.
"What?
What did Belil say to make you this unhappy? "
Count Levi saw that Xu Yi was still knitting his brows and looking dissatisfied, so he couldn't help asking this in a curious voice.
"It's nothing."
Xu Yi shook his head and threw away the dissatisfaction brought by Prince Frank's representative. After thinking for a bit, he continued, "Sir Count, before the opening ceremony begins, let's discuss something else first.
You should know about the Magic Illusion Projector that our company released two months ago, right? "
"Un, I do. What about it?"
"As for this Magic Illusion Projector, our company hopes to set up five of them in different places in Banta City.
Other than playing the New Moon Chamber of Commerce's new film, there will also be some advertisements … … "
… …
The morning sun rose into the sky and the opening ceremony of the Banta City bicycle race began at nine.
With the experience of holding events in the past few years, the opening ceremony went on in an orderly manner.
But because there were too many participants this year, the opening ceremony was a bit longer. When it was all over, it was already close to ten.
It was a good thing that Count Levi and Xu Yi canceled two small segments at the last minute, which allowed them to announce the start of the race at ten.
After watching the first day's participants charge out of the starting line, Xu Yi looked at the time and found that it was close to ten, so he immediately bid farewell to Count Levi.
Count Levi was a bit surprised, "Chairman Xu, you're not staying for lunch?
There are many people who are looking forward to having lunch with you. "
Xu Yi revealed an apologetic smile, "I'm afraid I can't today.
Baron Belil found me just now because he had something urgent for me to take care of. "
Seeing that Count Levi was still a bit doubtful, Xu Yi gave a cough and lowered his voice.
"It's related to the matter we discussed before."
Count Levi gave an oh sound, "Alright, you can go, I'll explain it to them."
"Un, many thanks Sir Count Levi." Xu Yi nodded before turning to leave.
Seeing Xu Yi quickly walk off the stage and get into his personal Magic Sedan, Count Levi knit his brows and revealed a doubtful look.
Just what was it that Xu Yi would go around the Lord City Lord and directly contact her majesty?
When Count Levi was doubtful, there were quick footsteps that came from behind him. One of Count Levi's confidants in the City Lord Manor quickly came over.
"Sir Count Levi, a secret letter from her majesty."
"It really came at the right time."
Count Levi raised a brow. He took the letter from his confidant and went to a secluded corner. After looking over the letter, he was surprised.
"This Chairman Xu, his skills really aren't small … …"
###
Xu Yi drove the pure white Magic Sedan to Baron Belil's private manor outside Banta City, not meeting any obstacles along the way.
After getting out of the car, Xu Yi looked at the time and found that it wasn't even eleven yet, so he gave a satisfied nod.
Even if he wasn't satisfied with the attitude of the representative sent by his highness Frank, he attached great importance to the cooperation with the Kandla Empire. He hoped that he could enter the Kandla Empire's market through his highness Frank, so he attached great importance to his relationship with his highness Frank.
He could stick to his principles and attend the opening ceremony, but if the conditions allowed it, he hoped that he could have a good relationship with his highness Frank's representative.
There was still an hour before lunch, so he could use this time to have a good discussion with his highness Frank's representative.
"Chairman Xu, you're here."
Baron Belil's housekeeper Kegotz came out of the manor to welcome him. After seeing Xu Yi, he immediately led him into the manor with a smile.
"The Lord Baron and the guests are waiting for you in the reception hall, please come with me."
Xu Yi nodded and followed Kegotz into the manor.
After passing through a small garden, the largest reception hall of the manor was in front of them.
Before he reached the gate, he heard a slightly shrill voice coming from inside.
"Hey, Baron Belil, is Chairman Xu coming or not?
If he really doesn't plan on coming, then we might as well leave now. "
Baron Belil's voice sounded.
"Please don't!
Manager Mancini, please calm down. Since Chairman Xu said that he will come, then he will definitely come.
He attaches great importance to your arrival and has been preparing for it since a month ago. How could he not come to see you?
Please wait a bit longer, I think he will be here soon. "
"Soon?
Hmph!
You've already said that many times! "The sharp voice was filled with mockery.
"This Chairman Xu actually dares to neglect us like this, this is simply an insult to us!
Baron Belil, we're here representing his highness the prince. Neglecting us is the same as neglecting his highness the prince.
Hmph, he's got guts! "
Xu Yi, who was about to reach the entrance of the reception hall, originally had a deep frown, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh involuntarily.
This fellow's words were exactly the same as what Prince Frank's butler Como had said before.
Could it be that Prince Frank's subordinates all liked to use this kind of tone to intimidate others?
Baron Belil's bitter laughter came from the reception hall, "No, no, no. Manager Mancini, please don't misunderstand.
Chairman Xu definitely doesn't have the slightest intention of neglecting you. He even specially asked me to take good care of you, afraid that you'll wait too long.
Right now, he really has something important to attend to, but I believe that he'll come to see you soon.
Please wait a bit … … Wait a bit … … "
"Something important?
What could be more important than us? "
Manager Mancini was still dissatisfied with Baron Belil's answer and coldly snorted, "Baron Belil, don't blame us for not giving you face.
We'll give Chairman Xu another half an hour. If he doesn't appear before lunch, then we'll turn around and leave.
As for how we'll report this to his highness, you should be able to imagine. "
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll immediately send someone to hurry Chairman Xu and have him hurry. You … …"
A bright voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the reception hall, interrupting Baron Belil's words.
"There's no need to rush me, Belil. I'm already here."
Baron Belil turned to look at the entrance in shock. When he saw Xu Yi's figure, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Everyone else in the hall also turned their gazes to Xu Yi. Among them, there was a white-faced man with a face full of wrinkles sitting across from Baron Belil. His gaze was the sharpest.
He coldly looked at Xu Yi for a while before asking in a sharp voice, "You're Xu Yi?"
