Chapter 54 The Canal Project Starts Again

Xu Yi had just walked out of the gate of the lord's mansion. Smith Porter, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately came to meet him... Read the latest and most complete novel

"How is it?" Smith Porter asked expectantly.

Xu Yi smiled back: "No problem. Although Earl Stark did not fully agree, he told me that there is no law in the Kingdom of Lampari that is not allowed to do business, so no matter what chamber of commerce is, it can carry out commercial activities in Bonta City, and the City Lord's Mansion will not interfere with this."

"Oh? So, we finally gave up for the new city lord?" Smith Porter was immediately overjoyed. "Haha, I knew that his policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture would not be able to continue sooner or later. Now, I'll suffer."

Xu Yi shook his head and signaled Smith Porter to join the carriage waiting outside. After the carriage started, he lowered his voice and said, "Although Earl Stark should have recognized his mistake, his basic attitude and position will never change. So we can do what we had stopped before when he acquiesced to, but we cannot be too obvious or arrogant. If it causes Earl Stark's rebound, then my previous efforts will be in vain."

Smith Porter nodded seriously: "I understand. President Xu, it must be a considerable price to convince him to agree that we will continue the canal project, right?"

"I can't say what the price I paid. Strictly speaking, I just asked him to make a deal, but this deal is very helpful for the development of food in Bangta City, which he values ​​most."

Smith Porter glanced at Xu Yi and wanted to ask the truth, but after thinking about it, he still gave up on this question.

Anyway, the canal throughput project that he was most concerned about was suspended for half a year after work was suspended under the order of Count Stark. He was already happy enough.

"President Xu, did the lord of the city tell us when we can start construction?" Smith Porter asked again. "I hope it will be as fast as possible. While it is the dry season of winter, the canal project will be much easier than usual."

"If you want, it's OK tomorrow." Xu Yi smiled. "Since Earl Stark has already expressed his attitude, it proves that the City Lord's Mansion will not interfere anymore. As long as you can be as low-key as possible, I think there is no problem."

"That's great!" Smith Porter slapped his hands excitedly, then he was stunned. He smiled bitterly: "President Xu, you must be joking with me, right? Tomorrow is the first day of the New Year, so no worker is willing to work at this time."

"Just know." Xu Yi laughed: "So, don't be too anxious. This way, we will start construction on the seventh day after the New Year. It will also allow me to transfer you a few new magic excavators of the 2.0 model that our Chamber of Commerce has made, which should speed up the project progress a lot."

"There are new magic excavators available? That's great!" Smith Porter immediately laughed happily.

Looking at the passionate, vitality and fighting spirit in front of him, Smith Porter, who seemed to have never used up his energy, thought that no one could be able to connect with the guy who wanted to commit suicide because of depressedness when Xu Yi first met him.

It was very appropriate to hand over the canal throughput project to him.

"By the way, President Xu, some time ago, when I was helping Eiffel City clean up the Rum River channel there, the Lord of Eiffel City asked me about the magic excavators, magic shovels, magic drilling machines and other engineering magic machinery we used, I recommended your New Flying Chamber of Commerce to him. I thought that after the New Year, Eiffel City should send someone to discuss the purchase of these magic machinery." Smith Porter said again.

"Oh? So you helped our chamber of commerce to start some business. Haha, should I give you some kickbacks according to the rules?" Xu Yi joked.

Smira Porter waved his hands repeatedly: "President Xu, don't joke with me like this. I wish that these engineering magic machinery produced by your New Flight Chamber of Commerce can be popularized throughout the Lampari Kingdom, and then my fleet will be unobstructed throughout the Lampari Kingdom." After a pause, he asked again: "That... President Xu, when will the magic ship you mentioned be built?"

"I'm very sorry, I still can't give you a certain time." Xu Yi shook his head. "But what I can tell you is that the most important technical problems in producing magic ships have been solved, so I can be sure that this thing will be developed in the next days. According to estimates, after the canal connecting the Sandy River and the Rum River is truly opened, you can lead such a fleet to drive there."

"Really? That's great!" Smila Boer waved his fist with excitement and looked at Xu Yi with a smile and said, "President Xu, sometimes I really don't know whether to hate you or be grateful to you. If it weren't for you, my fleet wouldn't have fallen to the point where there was no business to do, forcing me to even have the idea of ​​suicide. But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been rescued, and I'm very likely to have a fleet of dreams now."

Xu Yi shrugged: "Whatever you do, whether you hate me or be grateful to me, anyway, you can do what you can do, that's enough."

"Well, you're very reasonable." Smith Porter focused heavily. "I have to say, President Xu, your courage is much bigger than that of ordinary people. Don't worry about those messy things when working with you, it's much more enjoyable."

"It's good that you're satisfied. We still have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

The two discussed the issue of the canal project for a while, and drove out of Bonta City with their carriages. Smila Porter refused Xu Yi's invitation to visit Luoxing Manor, changed his carriage and drove towards the canal estuary of the lower Sandy River.

Look at his appearance, he clearly intends to reopen the canal despite the arrival of the New Year.

Xu Yi admired his work spirit very much, but would not do the same thing as him.

In his opinion, he can indeed concentrate on his work at other times, but the New Year is coming. During this period of time, the most important thing is to accompany his family and enjoy this New Year.

The carriage drove into Luoxing Manor, but Steele immediately came out.

After seeing Xu Yi, Steele's expression seemed a little weird.

Xu Yi wiped his face and wondered: "It's nothing? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Steele walked over, poked his hand and pinched Xu Yi's face, and snorted softly: "I have no objection to you want to keep a lover, but why do you have to discuss it with Evita? Do you have any ideas about Evita?"

Xu Yi was stunned, and then immediately shouted loudly: "When did I want to keep my lover? Besides, what's the matter with Evita? I just went to ask her about your thoughts."

Seeing Xu Yi's nervous look, Steele wanted to try hard to keep his face tight, but in the end he couldn't help laughing, and even could not help but cover his stomach and arched his waist with laughter.

Seeing her appearance, Xu Yi knew that she was not angry and immediately felt relieved.

After Steele relaxed a little, Xu Yi hugged her, pulled her into her arms, stared at her and snorted softly, "I really underestimated the strong friendship between Evita and you. She even told you such things, aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for her?"

"You can't." Steele snorted. "How could our respectable and upright and peerless good man, President Xu Yixun, be so stingy to find trouble for a girl like Evita? Are you right?"

Xu Yi glared at her angrily: "What? Is this what Evita said to you?"

"Of course not. Don't you know what kind of character Evita is? She praised you hard in front of me for a long time, and told me to cherish you well. What a good man like you is almost unique. I can't make you bored with me, you must be particularly nice to you. Hey, to be honest, Xu Yi, what do you think of Evita?"

"What do you mean by asking this question?" Xu Yi frowned and asked.

"Answer my question first."

"Then what are you referring to?"

"It refers to her as a girl. From a man's perspective, what do you think of her?" Steele asked.

"This...is very good. I think Evita is quiet, kind, considerate, and considerate. She will consider others. She is a very good girl."

"Then do you think she's pretty?" Steele asked again.

"Well... although not as beautiful as you, it can be considered pretty. The most important thing is that she makes people look comfortable. I think any man will like girls like her." Seeing that Steele seemed very serious, Xu Yi answered honestly.

"You like her so much?"

Xu Yi frowned again: "Steel, what's wrong with you today? What do you have to ask such a question? I think Evita is a very good girl, but it has nothing to do with whether she likes or not."

Steele stared at Xu Yi for a while, and his big, lively eyes turned around, but suddenly showed a charming smile. He gently kissed Xu Yi's lips, took his hand and walked into the manor, not planning to continue the topic.

Xu Yi was confused by Steele's strange reaction, but thinking that people used to tell him that girls' thoughts were so difficult to understand, he smiled and shook his head and stopped asking questions. (To be continued...)
