Volume 1 Chapter 34 Picturesque beauty
âSo, sir chairman, I suggest we open the market in the other cities as soon as possible. I have already investigated this, the Saltan City factoryâs Magic Fans cannot compare to the quality of our Frestech Magic Fans. I believe that as long as we start selling in Saltan City, we will definitely steal back the market.â Sebas said with a serious expression.
âHe, he, we certainly will steal it back, but we canât rush this. After all, Saltan City is someone elseâs territory. Our product is perfect, but if we rush over there, it wonât be as easy to steal back the territory. Right now, Iâm waiting for a good opportunity. This chance is actually related to the questions you were asking.â
Sebas was stunned. He was dragged around by Xu Yi for a while and almost forgot the questions he asked before, but he never thought Xu Yi would drag them out again.
âSir chairman, the research you invested in are not related to the Magic Fan at all.â
Xu Yi extended the index finger on his right hand and shook it, âNo, no, no. Sebas, in this industrial system, there isnât a single research that isnât related to another aspect. Although the Magic Fan seems simple, it involves quite a few things. Right now it seems like the research Iâve invested in arenât that related to the Magic Fan, but after results appear for this research, you will find that it is greatly related to the Magic Fan. Every single one of these studies could create a heaven shaking giant change to the Magic Fan. Not to mentionâŠâŠwho told you that my Frestech Chamber of Commerce only produces Magic Fans?â
Sebasâ eyes couldnât help opening wide. Based on what Xu Yi said, could it be he was actually inventing new products?
He still had things to ask, but Xu Yi didnât give him that chance. He stood up and pointed outside, âAlright, letâs go outside and take a look. After this long, Still should be finished with her matter.â
Sebas couldnât only helplessly follow behind Xu Yi.
While walking, Sebas digested the words Xu Yi had just said.
âIndustrial system? What is that? It seems like itâs something important based on what he said. Other than that, what was the new product he mentioned? Could it also create a stir like the Magic Fan? The Lord Viscount should be very interested in this, IâŠ..â
Xu Yi and Sebas were talking in an inner room and once they left the room, they came to a very large hall.
In the center of the hall at this time, Still was currently standing still. Opposite of her, there was a Magic Fan placed parallel to her, currently blowing refreshing cold wind onto her face.
This Magic Fan was clearly different from the Frestech Magic Fan from before. The structure was much more refined and it was a bit smaller compared to before, making it look more sleek.
This was the official second generation Variable Speed Magic Fan that had been developed.
Still opposite the Magic Fan was wearing a white dress today. With the cool wind, Stillâs golden hair slightly danced in the wind, matching her skirt that kept fluttering in the wind, making her look very elegant.
Still was already very beautiful and now that she was dressed up like this, she became even more charming. Looking from the side, she was simply dazzling. So beautiful that people couldnât look directly at her.
Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Still turned around to look at Xu Yi. She threw out a smile at him that actually made Xu Yiâs heart skip a beat.
âHe, if this fellow was placed on earth, she would have become a star, right?â Xu Yi secretly thought.
He made a hand gesture to Still and after signaling to her to focus, Xu Yi went to a corner of the hall.
To Stillâs side was an artist and on the giant canvas in front of him right now, there was a drawing that was almost finished.
âUn, the picture is quite good!â Xu Yi took a look and immediately praised it.
Other than a complete drawing of Still and the Magic Fan, there was also a background of an open field. This painting was very well done, manifesting Stillâs appearance and charm decisively, letting those who looked at it unable to look away.
Xu Yi stood beside the artist for a while. When the artist finished the final stroke, he let out a sigh of relief, as his spirited expression was immediately replaced with a look of incomparable exhaustion. It could be seen that he spent quite a bit of energy on this drawing.
âMaster Anlios, itâs been hard on you.â Xu Yi raised a cup of prepared cold drink and handed it over.
Master Anlios only noticed Xu Yi. He took the cold drink and revealed a confident smile. He pointed at the painting and asked, âChairman Xu Yi, what do you think?â
Xu Yi gave him a thumbs up without holding anything back, âItâs very good. Master Anlios really is the best artists in our Banta City, this painting is simply perfect.â
Of course it was perfect, Xu Yi had spent a sky high price of an entire fifty gold coins on this artist. If the painting wasnât drawn properly, then Xu Yiâs fifty gold coins would have been wasted.
Master Anlios gave a loud laugh, âChairman Xu Yi, actually this painting could be this outstanding was mainly because of Young Miss Still. I have only drawn her beauty onto paper. Donât you feel that if Young Miss Still were to just stand there, she would be like a painting?â
Xu Yi looked over to see Still walking over and he gave a soft nod, âThis point, I really couldnât agree with you more.â
Master Anlios and Xu Yi looked at each other and broke out in tacit laughter at the same time.
âHey, Xu Yi, what are you guys discussing? Youâre laughing this happily.â Still came over and asked this.â
âMaster Anlios is praising your beauty.â Xu Yi said with a smile.
âMany thanks for Master Anliosâ praise.â Still revealed a sweet smile to Master Anlios before turning to Xu Yi to ask, âThen what about you? Do you think Iâm beautiful?â
Xu Yi couldnât help giving a bitter smile, as he thought that little girls really loved being beautiful.
âOf course I also agreed.â Xu Yi replied in a very serious voice, âIs there anyone who dares say you arenât beautiful? Tell me and Iâll dig out their eyes! It would by no use to them anyway!â
Still laughed before softly hitting Xu Yi, âYouâre too exaggerated.â
She said this, but the expression on her face clearly demonstrated the joy in her heart.
Xu Yi looked at the painting again before suddenly saying to Still, âStill, I have a strong premonition that youâll become famous soon and youâll be very famous. Do you feel any pressure?â
âWhy?â Still asked in surprise, âIsnât it just doing what you said, making an advertisement? Why would I become famous?â
Xu Yi revealed a smile. This was the second generation Variable Speed Magic Fanâs first advertisement, they were prepared to go all out in spreading this. With Stillâs appearance and aura, it would be strange if she didnât become famous.
They discussed a few things before Master Anlios and Sebas left to pay the remunerations, while also beginning to start planning for the advertisement, leaving Xu Yi and Still alone. They looked at each other and Xu Yi made a gesture to let Still go first.
âBeautiful Young Miss Still, can I have the honour to ask you out to lunch?â
Still deliberately made her face stern, âIâm sorry, this mister, I normally donât accept other peopleâs invitations to a meal, unless that person is a handsome uncle.â
Xu Yiâs eyes opened wide in surprise and he pointed at himself, âCharming uncle? Isnât that me?â
Still couldnât keep a straight face and laughed while saying, âYou finally recognized that you are an uncle? Then this handsome uncle, can I ask what you are treating me to?â
âUnâŠâŠHow about a bowl of noodles that are as fresh as you?â
âDamn, how could a bowl of noodles be fresh? And itâs the same as me?â
âHa, you donât understand this. The noodles are very slender, gentle while firm and bouncyâŠâŠâ
âŠâŠ
Smiling while they talked, Xu Yi and Still found a nearby small restaurant and found a familiar place to sit in.
Because they had been working in the past few days, the two had been frequently eating together. They had come to this little restaurant several times, so they were already familiar with it.
âThatâs right, Xu Yi, the matter I mentioned to you last time, did you consider it?â When they had just sat down, Still asked this question.
âThat matter?â Xu Yi was stunned before suddenly remembering it, âOh, youâre talking about your classmates, right? Didnât I say last time that I welcome them very much? Could it be that you were waiting for my response and hadnât contacted them yet?â
Still had suddenly discussed this with Xu Yi last time. Although she had graduated from the Lampuri Royal Magic Academy already, she had always kept a good relationship with her many classmates. Now that these classmates knew that Still was working in Xu Yiâs magic research lab and was specially studying the Magic Arrays inside the magic machinery, there were several people who expressed their interest. They asked if Xu Yi was willing to accept them.
Xu Yi naturally welcomed them, they were the talents that he had been having headaches over, especially in terms of Magic Array. Other than him, there was almost no one helping him.
After Still came, she had shared quite a bit of work with him, but Still was just a single person and was far from being enough.
Now that Stillâs classmates were coming over, Xu Yi was naturally very happy.
âOf course not, Iâve already contacted them and three people want to come, butâŠ..â Still paused, seeming a bit embarrassed, âThey wanted me to ask you, what kind of treatment will you give themâŠâŠâ
âTreatment?â Xu Yi looked at the somewhat awkward Still and suddenly smiled, âStill, I havenât even seen them yet and donât know what kind of strength they have, so what kind of treatment should I give them?â
âI also understand that, butâŠâŠcan you give them a minimum promise? Otherwise, if they come this far and you give them something they arenât satisfied with, wouldnât they have come for nothing?â Still had a bit of expectation as she looked at Xu Yi, âLook, you started with fifteen gold coins with me, you canât give them any less, right?â
âUnâŠ..Itâs like this. Still, contact those three again, tell them that I am inviting them over with my status as the Frestech Chamber of Commerceâs chairman. I will cover their expenses, including their travel expenses, their lodgings, as well as any other expenses. They will all be covered by my Frestech Chamber of Commerce. If both sides are satisfied, then we can attempt it for a month and their salary during this month will be ten cold coins. If both sides are satisfied after the probationary period, then they will be official researchers of the research facility, having the same salary as you, fifteen gold coins. If they produce any results with their research, the company will offer special awards. As for how much they receive, it will depend on their achievement. What do you think?â
Still nodded, âVery good, letâs just do this. Iâll write a letter to them in a while.â
Xu Yi revealed a smile and said a few words before he suddenly looked at the entrance to the restaurant, causing him to knit his brows.
