Chapter 10 Clear Position

Xu Yi did not hesitate at all and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Hearing Xu Yi's answer with such affirmative answer, the reporters in the audience suddenly burst into noise.

After a while, a bunch of arms were raised from the audience.

"President Xu, are you really sure you want to use your daughter as your sole heir?"

"President Xu, what you mean by the only heir is that your descendants will not inherit any of your property except your daughter?"

"President Xu, if you have another son in the future, would you not consider letting him inherit your property?"

"President Xu..."

...

Waiting for the reporters in the audience to subside, they were excited and calm again, and they all stared at themselves intently. Xu Yi then smiled and asked, "Why are you reacting like this? She is my daughter. Is there anything wrong with my heir?"

"The key point is the only one!" A reporter from the audience shouted loudly: "President Xu, the only meaning is that you don't plan to leave your property to other children?"

"I think your understanding is somewhat biased." Xu Yi shook his head. "The only heir means that my daughter is the only person who is likely to inherit my title. As for family property... that's another matter."

"Letter?" The reporters were stunned. "Does it have nothing to do with family property? So what about the position of president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Does it have nothing to do with this?"

Xu Yi looked at the reporter who asked questions with surprise.

"The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not belong to me alone, so why should my children inherit the presidential position? What's more, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really belongs to me alone, the president should choose someone with ability to serve. If my children are not outstanding in business skills, should I watch the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce decline in their hands?"

The reporters thought about it and felt that Xu Yi's words made some sense. However, they were not consistent with the traditions on the Synes continent.

According to tradition, Xu Yi is absolutely unwilling to hand it over to outsiders for a large chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In any case, he will train his heirs as the next president, allowing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to control the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes, and still actually control it.

Judging from Xu Yi's attitude, his most likely approach would be the second one.

After all, if his children inherited his title, they would also be a noble status.

And his children are probably not as special as Xu Yi, who can have both aristocratic and businessman status. Therefore, it is also the most feasible to control behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, the reporters were relieved.

However, this problem can be understood, but there are more problems.

"President Xu, you said that your title will be inherited by your daughter in the future. Why don't you consider leaving it for your son?" asked a reporter. "Many people say that you did this to show your support for His Highness Sevini. Is that true?"

This question is what all journalists really care about.

If Xu Yi answered yes, it means that he began to formally and clearly express his attitude to support His Highness Sevini to everyone, which means that the New Air Chamber of Commerce will be officially included in His Highness Sevini's camp.

Although Xu Yi did not do this, everyone also had this view, before Xu Yi clearly stated his position, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may change its position at any time. It can also have greater room for buffering in many things.

After Xu Yi has made his position, it will be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to change in the future. Xu Yi's doing so is equivalent to putting all his bets on His Highness Sevini.

Once His Highness Sevini fails to ascend the throne in the end, instead of His Highness Prince Eric becoming the next king, you can imagine the end of waiting for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So although Xu Yi only confirmed that his daughter was his only heir, it seemed to be his private family matter at first glance, but because of Xu Yi's sensitive identity and the importance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this matter is definitely not just a family matter. There are too many factors involved.

How could Xu Yi not know what the reporters were thinking at this time, and better understand the meaning of what they meant by asking this question. But he made this choice after careful consideration, so he naturally would not seem to panic when facing this question now.

"First of all, I don't have a son now." Xu Yi smiled. "Secondly, even if I have a new love with Steele in the future and is still a son, since I have confirmed my heir, there will be no more changes. Because the more important issues are, the less we can repeat them, otherwise it will be bad for anyone. I hope that my children can live in harmony and do not want to see them being dissatisfied with each other or even fighting each other because of the unclear inheritance rights."

The reporters in the audience opened their eyes wide at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.

"President Xu, can I understand your words as accusation against His Majesty the King?" A reporter couldn't help but ask loudly.

Xu Yi smiled gently and spread his hands: "This is your own understanding, it has nothing to do with me."

The reporters ignored Xu Yi's vague statement and recorded the answers of Xu Yi just in the small notebook in their hands.

A moment later, another reporter asked: "President Xu, you have not answered the latter question yet. Did you deliberately choose to make your daughter the only heir to show your support for His Highness Sevini?"

"You can think of this because it does contain part of my thoughts." Xu Yi nodded. "But for me, this is Steele's first child and I, and my position is very important in my mind. Seeing her birth, I wish I could give her everything I had. As for the title, the president, etc., it doesn't matter. This is a normal idea for a father, and I think you should be able to understand it."

Although the reporters also wrote down Xu Yi's second half of the answer, in comparison, his first affirmative answer was undoubtedly much more important.

Xu Yi affirmed the reporters' questions, which means that he really expressed his support and support of His Highness Severini through his decision.

Given the importance of the New Air Chamber of Commerce to the entire Lampari Kingdom, His Highness Sevini has received clear and comprehensive support from Xu Yi. This is equivalent to adding an extremely important bargaining chip to His Highness Sevini, which is extremely helpful for His Highness Sevini to inherit the throne.

However, Xu Yi's approach has one disadvantage, that is, his actions clearly meant to stimulate His Majesty the King.

Didn’t he worry that this practice would arouse His Majesty’s disgust, but instead made His Majesty the King more inclined to let His Highness Prince Eric inherit the throne?

"It's okay if those stupid reporters think so, why do you think so too, Dema?"

Lampari XIII had just finished speaking and started coughing violently again.

Although winter had long passed, Lampari XIII's body did not improve much and still seemed very weak.

Although I don’t stay in the bedroom every day like in winter, I don’t have much time to leave the room.

"How could I be emotional when deciding to the heir of the throne affect the entire kingdom? Whether it is Eric, Sevini, or Miham, who decides who will take over me as a king, it depends on who can make greater contributions to the entire kingdom, and not on my personal preferences."

Dema nodded slightly, then said, "But Your Majesty, I think Xu Yi is at least right. If you can determine the heir to the throne as soon as possible, and let His Highness Eric and others not compete for the inheritance rights, it will be very beneficial to you, or even the entire kingdom. Why didn't you make sure it was early in the morning?"

"Are you blaming me?" Lampari XIII smiled slightly, then sighed deeply. "Do you think I don't want to do this? But the royal family is not a small family like Xu Yi. Heirs are an extremely important decision that is too important. How can we easily determine the candidate? Didn't Xu Yi say it? If his children are not capable enough, he can't teach them the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and watch them ruin the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

"But Xu Yi can hand over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to others to manage, but you can't hand over the entire kingdom to others. After all, this throne can only be chosen among your children to inherit. So..." Dema paused and gritted his teeth hard, as if he had made up his mind. "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. If it is too late, I'm afraid..."

Lampari XIII looked at Dema quietly for a while and shook her head slowly.

"Dema, you never took the initiative to express your opinions on this matter before, why did you act so positive today?"

Dema showed a bitter smile and did not answer.

Lampari XIII sighed again.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. Are you worried about my body right? Do you think I can't hold on for long?"

Dema lowered her head deeply. After a long time, she slowly raised her head again, but two lines of hot tears were already hanging on her face, and her voice was choked.

"Your Majesty... I... I'm watching you... You are so weak day by day, but I can't think of any way to save you. I'm really... really heartbroken. I know that the most important thing in your mind is the entire kingdom, so I hope you can determine this most important thing for the kingdom as soon as possible. Then let go of your worries, be good... good..."

"Do you have your last days?" Lampari XIII smiled slightly, waved to Dema, and signaled him to come over.

When Dema walked to her side, Lampari XIII suddenly raised his arm and threw it over.

"Ba"

Dema covered her hot face and looked at Lampary XIII in shock.

"What? Do I seem to you as a dead person who is about to be buried?"

Lampari XIII, who had been very weak for this period of time, was like a lion who had been angry. Although he was still weak, he was full of power and could not even feel like resisting.

"I am the king of this kingdom! I don't need the mercy of others, nor do I have the right to be merciful! Since I am the king, I must bear the responsibility of the king! Choosing the most suitable heir for this kingdom is my last and most important responsibility, and I must do my best to complete this duty very seriously. So as long as I am not dead, I must consider this matter with the greatest effort. Do you understand?"

Dema looked at Lampari XIII blankly, and after a while, he nodded slowly.

"Yes, your Majesty, I offended you, and ask for your forgiveness."

Lampari XIII snorted heavily and reached out to Dema.

"I have read the matter about Sevini. I'll take the report from the Northern Province and let me see what this kid Eric has been doing during this period." (To be continued)
