Hearing this cold snort, Alex's entire body quivered. He immediately straightened his body and stared straight ahead, not daring to move.
Although Xu Yi was only five years older than Alex, because of Xu Yi's status and the fact that Xu Yi and Heinz were close friends, Alex naturally placed himself in a very low position in front of Xu Yi.
In addition, Alex had made a very serious mistake before. If it wasn't for Xu Yi giving Heinz face and not pursuing the matter, he would probably still be squatting in prison, unable to get out.
So every time he saw Xu Yi, Alex would always feel a bit of fear in his heart.
Being suddenly called over by Xu Yi and not being told the reason ahead of time, it really made his heart feel unsettled.
"Alex." Xu Yi suddenly called out.
"Ah?
Ah, here!
Yes, Sir President, do you have any orders? "Alex asked cautiously.
Xu Yi glanced at him and lightly snorted, "I heard that you've been doing nothing recently. Is it because you feel that staying in the headquarters is inconveniencing you? Is it very boring?"
Alex jumped in fright and quickly waved his hand. He forcefully shook his head and said, "No, no, no, sir chairman, it's not boring at all, really!
I have a lot of things to do every day, how could I be bored? "
"Is that so?" Xu Yi glanced at his incomparably clean clothes and couldn't help but snort again.
Because Alex had made a big mistake before, Xu Yi had transferred him back from Anvilmar City. He had originally planned to put him into the transport fleet and let him start as a transport driver. Then he would be promoted depending on the situation.
In the end, Alex had only worked for two months before he complained that being a transport driver was too tiring and he complained that he didn't want to do it.
With no other choice, Xu Yi could only transfer him back to the New Flyer headquarters and give him a job in the administration building that didn't have much work and didn't have much influence. He could only eat and wait for death every day.
Alex was very satisfied with this job because it was extremely leisurely. The work he needed to do every day was pitifully little and the salary wasn't low. Besides having no actual power, there was nothing bad about it.
Heinz was also very clear about Alex's personality and approved of Xu Yi's arrangement.
Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, Alex might have been able to stay in this position forever. Xu Yi normally wouldn't even think of this person.
But today, when Heinz officially announced his retirement, Xu Yi sighed and suddenly thought of Alex.
Even though Heinz wasn't very satisfied with his nephew's personality and other aspects, this was still his nephew that his sister had entrusted to him. He had always treated Alex as his own son and could be considered to have doted on him.
Before, every time he talked about Alex with Xu Yi, Heinz would always blame himself. He said that he didn't teach this nephew well and didn't let him truly stand out.
Xu Yi had previously been unmoved by Heinz's sighs, but today, after being moved by Heinz's departure, he felt that he should help Alex again and give him a chance. It could also be considered as comforting the retired Heinz.
"Alex, are you satisfied with your current job?" Thinking of this, Xu Yi asked.
Alex's eyes turned and he immediately nodded, "Very satisfied, very satisfied!
Sir chairman, my current job is really too good! "
"Do you really think so?" Xu Yi grinned.
"I originally said that your performance in this period of time could be considered good and that I was planning to give you a more promising job.
But since you're very satisfied with your current job, then it seems like there's no need to change. "
"Ah?"
Alex stared blankly, then his eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands and smiled embarrassedly, "This … Sir chairman, although I'm very satisfied with my current job, but … cough, you see, if I can change to a more promising job, I'd also be very happy.
Can you tell me what this job is? "
Xu Yi smiled and pulled out a document from the table and threw it over.
"See for yourself."
Alex took the document and couldn't wait to open it. With just a glance, his eyes widened. The more he read, the more excited he became.
After reading it once, Alex couldn't help but carefully read it from the beginning. Only then did he ask Xu Yi with a face full of disbelief, "Sir … Sir chairman, you … You really want to send me to be the supervisor of this office?
This is Wimbledon City!
This is the capital of the Kandla Empire!
Such an important place, you really don't have to worry about letting me go? "
"If I said that I don't have to worry about it, would you believe me?" Xu Yi smiled and asked.
The smile on Alex's face immediately froze, then he forced a dry laugh.
"This … Hehe, Sir chairman, you don't have to worry about me … It's normal, after all, I …"
"Enough." Xu Yi waved his hand and interrupted him.
"I've already decided.
I'll let you be the supervisor because you're one of the few experienced people in the Chamber of Commerce. It's not good to let you stay here all day doing nothing.
Of course, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this is all because of your uncle. Otherwise, I could find someone else, understand? "
"Understood!
Of course I understand! "Alex nodded.
"Sir chairman, I promise you, this time I'll do my best to run this Wimbledon City office to the best of my ability!
I want everyone in the Kandla Empire to be familiar with our New Flyer! "
"Good, it's good to have courage." Xu Yi nodded and praised.
"You can leave now and think about the initial arrangements.
If there are no accidents, after the new year, the office will officially start construction. You only have half a month to think about it. "
"Okay!"
Alex nodded and looked at Xu Yi for a while. Seeing that he didn't have any more instructions, he bowed respectfully to Xu Yi and left.
After Alex left, Tvisti suddenly said, "Sir chairman, didn't Alex betray the Chamber of Commerce before?
Why are you giving him such an important position?
Aren't you worried that he'll make the same mistake again? "
"Remember, Tvisti, we humans aren't like you elves. We won't completely reject someone based on their past mistakes. Instead, we'll give them a chance to correct themselves.
Although Alex did make a serious mistake in the past, I'm still willing to give him a chance.
In addition, I have to admit that Alex's ability in this area is very good. As long as he's willing to work hard, I feel that there will be results. "
Tvisti was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "Actually, it's mainly because of vice chairman Heinz, right?"
Xu Yi froze for a moment before smiling awkwardly, "What?
You can also see these things now? "
"Us elves have a strong learning ability. It's not strange that I can see this." Tvisti shook her head.
"However, Sir President, I still object to your decision.
This Alex … … gives me a bad feeling. "
Xu Yi shrugged, "If I told you that the importance I place on the internal market of the Kandla Empire is completely different from the importance I place on the Malor Empire, what would you think?"
Tvisti was at a loss, "I … … I don't know … …"
"Okay, you'll understand the difference in the future.
It's about time, let's go to the conference room. They're definitely waiting. "
When Xu Yi and Tvisti walked into the largest conference room in the New Flyer administrative building, the discussion inside was in full swing.
From the CEO Kennard sitting at the front to the middle managers of New Flyer sitting at the back, everyone had a happy smile on their faces. The conference room was filled with a jubilant and joyful atmosphere. It was extremely lively.
When they saw Xu Yi walk in, everyone immediately stopped the discussion and stood up. Their eyes were focused on Xu Yi. Many people's eyes revealed undisguised respect and even admiration.
Xu Yi enjoyed everyone's gaze with a clear conscience. He went to the president's seat at the top of the conference room and sat down.
"Sit down."
Xu Yi gestured for everyone to sit down. Then, he turned to Kennard and smiled, "Okay, Kennard, let's start this year's year-end summary meeting."
Kennard didn't sit down at all. He looked at the year-end report in his hand and threw it on the table. He looked around and said loudly, "First, I'll tell everyone a piece of good news.
Our New Flyer's annual profit this year is the same as in previous years. It has achieved a large increase again!
Although we don't have accurate data yet, we can be sure that it has broken through 50 million gold coins! "
"Wow — —"
After a moment of silence in the conference room, there was a thunderous applause.
Although Kennard had already revealed to them that the Chamber of Commerce's annual profit had increased again, no one expected it to increase to 50 million gold coins all of a sudden.
It had to be known that New Flyer's annual profit last year was only 30 million gold coins. But this year, it had increased by nearly 20 million gold coins!
This increase was so shocking that people couldn't believe it.
A Chamber of Commerce's development would always follow a normal pattern. In the beginning, it might develop quickly from nothing to something, and the increase might seem exaggerated.
But after developing to a certain extent, this increase would gradually stabilize.
New Flyer's annual profit had increased by several million gold coins in the past few years. It was only last year that it broke through 30 million gold coins, which was already very shocking.
But this year, it suddenly increased by close to 20 million gold coins. This was simply unimaginable.
"What?
Is everyone surprised? "
Xu Yi chuckled as he looked at the surprised expressions on the faces of the Chamber of Commerce's executives. He paused for a moment before continuing, "If 50 million gold coins is enough to make you all so shocked, then if you hear my target for the Chamber of Commerce's annual profit next year, I suspect that your jaws will fall off from shock."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The head of the household magic machine department, Ancato, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and carefully asked, "Sir Chairman, you … … What is your target for next year?"
Xu Yi smiled as he raised his right index finger, "100 million gold coins."
The conference room suddenly became silent.
