Chapter 38 Banquet
It was another day and night. Somewhere in the west of Bangta City, there was a very large manor parked with all kinds of gorgeous carriages. Countless people dressed in luxurious costumes and showing aristocratic atmosphere in their gestures lingered in the manor. The manor, which always seemed very clean on weekdays, suddenly became noisy.
If there are people who are familiar with the aristocratic circle of Bangta City, they can easily find out that the vast majority of the people in this manor are those big and small nobles in Bangta City, even if they are sharp-eyed. , you can also find that in the deepest part of the manor, a sturdy, serious-looking middle-aged man is having a good conversation with the owner of the manor.
This middle-aged man is the most powerful person in Bangta City, that is, Lord Sean Summer, the lord of Bangta City!
As for the handsome and young manor owner who is talking to the Lord of the City, everyone in the aristocratic circle in Bangta City is well-known, and that is Viscount Leslie, who is very popular with the noble ladies and ladies.
Viscount Leslie always liked quietness, but now he suddenly announced a banquet, which surprised the nobles in Bonta City.
Although Viscount Leslie had some reasons for copying this banquet... It was funny, saying that it was to celebrate the birth of a nephew who was far away in Anvilmar, but the nobles liked banquets very much, and they were also keen to use banquets to promote The relationship between each other before, so the reason is not important, the important thing is that Viscount Leslie actually held a banquet. Therefore, none of the nobles who received the invitation refused, and they all came as promised.
In addition to these nobles, there are a small number of guests who are not nobles, but if you look carefully, you will find that these guests are not nobles, but all of them have status and status in Bangta City No one is an ordinary civilian who is inconspicuous.
No one was surprised by this situation.
Viscount Leslie held a banquet, how could an unrelated commoner be mixed in?
So Xu Yi obediently hid himself in a corner, trying not to attract attention.
In his capacity, he is really not qualified to mix in.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money with its magic fans, if you think about it seriously, it can only be regarded as a small chamber of commerce that has just started. In Bangta City, there are no 100 or 80 such small chambers of commerce. Xu Being caught in it is naturally nothing.
As for relying on the identity of a magician?
Do not make jokes! So far, Xu Yi has not even passed the certification examination of the Magician's Guild. In fact, he is not even an official magician, so how can he be qualified to participate in this banquet.
Although Xu Yi was not bad-looking, he naturally wouldn't attract too many people's attention on such occasions. It stands to reason that he would have no problem trying to hide, but beside him, there was a dazzling and dazzling flower beside him. If the bright moon in the night sky is so beautiful that one cannot ignore the presence of flowers.
"It's so boring." Steele sighed and complained to Xu Yi. "Xu Yi, I thought it would be fun for Viscount Leslie to hold a banquet all of a sudden, but it would be just as boring as other banquets."
Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her: "Didn't I tell you long ago that this was just an ordinary banquet, why don't you believe me?"
"Humph! Are you too embarrassed to talk about me?" Steele said angrily. "Who always told me that the banquets of nobles are boring, so why don't you go home and study the magic circle if you have time to attend the banquet?"
Xu Yi touched his face: "Okay, it's me."
"Then I'd be surprised if you guys came to the banquet. I thought that there was something special about this banquet that would attract you, but I didn't think there was anything special at all. It made me happy for nothing." Steele feigned anger.
Xu Yi glanced up and down at Steele, this little girl was obviously well-dressed today, a well-cut lavender dress perfectly set off her figure, and her blond hair rolled up just right. Her slender and fair neck is bare, which makes her whole person look a bit noble and elegant. Correspondingly, her almost perfect cheeks and facial features reveal a vibrant youthful breath. The mixture of different flavors made her look charming, and it was no wonder that when everyone at the banquet passed by, they couldn't help but peek at her.
Just standing here for less than half an hour, more than ten young men came to strike up a conversation.
If it weren't for Xu Yi standing beside him, I'm afraid this number would have increased several times.
"If there is anything special, of course there are." Xu Yi took a sip of the juice and explained to Steele helplessly. "Steel, do you remember what we just researched the other day?"
Steele was slightly startled: "You mean magic air conditioner?"
"Yes." Xu Yi nodded.
Since Steele joined the research institute, he naturally joined the research on magic air conditioners.
It should be said that the magic air conditioner can be successfully developed so quickly, and Steele played a big role in it.
"What does the magic air conditioner have to do with this banquet?" Steele was even more puzzled.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Don't you think that there are so many people in this room, but it's not very hot?"
After being reminded by Xu Yi, Steele immediately woke up and looked left and right in surprise. After a while, he realized that two magic air conditioners had been hung on the walls around the hall used to entertain guests. There was a cool breeze blowing outside, no wonder the hall didn't feel hot at all.
"Xu Yi, shouldn't you collude with that Viscount Leslie?" Steele couldn't help asking.
"What is collusion? This is called cooperation." Xu Yi reprimanded. "Steel, in fact, according to the formal process, you should have been involved as a spokesperson in this matter, but I don't think you are very interested in selling products in front of so many people, so you gave up on this. idea."
"Hmph, I won't go to others and say, hello, hello, come and buy our goods? That's too stupid." Steele said disdainfully. "The spokesperson you told me didn't include these things."
"Yes, so I gave up this very tempting idea, and besides, it's really a waste." Xu Yi glanced at Steele again, and smiled: "Let such an outstanding beauty run as a salesman, and be caught by others. If I knew it, I would definitely call me reckless."
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Steele immediately grinned, turned briskly in front of Xu Yi, and said proudly, "Do you think I'm pretty today?"
"No, not today, but I always thought you were beautiful. Of course, today is especially beautiful."
Steele was even more proud, raised his head slightly, and snorted softly from his nose: "You can talk." After a pause, he immediately asked again: "By the way, since you and Viscount Leslie colluded Well, why didn't you see Viscount Leslie sell this magic air conditioner for you?"
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Viscount Leslie is a dignified viscount, how can he come to sell products directly? Of course, this kind of thing is still done by a businessman like me who smells like copper." Thiel, continued: "I'm going to be a salesman now. If you don't want to go, just wait for me here."
Steele rolled his eyes and quickly caught up with Xu Yi.
"Let me see how you sell it, a profiteer."
Xu Yi smiled slightly, and turned his eyes around the banquet hall, locking on a more dignified middle-aged man.
"Dear Viscount Zetaman, Madam, good to you."
Viscount Zetaman and Madame Zetaman turned around and looked at the young man who suddenly appeared, somewhat inexplicable.
"Excuse me, are you..."
"My name is Xu Yi, I'm the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this is my companion..."
"She is Steele, the granddaughter of the great magician Camilla. I have met several times before." Viscount Zetaman said first.
Steele hurriedly saluted the two of them: "Grandpa always said that Viscount Zetaman was an honest man, and he was one of the few nobles he admired more. Now that I see you, I deeply agree with Grandpa's evaluation."
Viscount Zetaman laughed, naturally he would not take this kind of words seriously, and when he turned to Xu Yi, there was a trace of doubt on his face.
"You said just now that you are the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
"Xinfei Chamber of Commerce...Xinfei Chamber of Commerce...I seem to have heard this name somewhere." Viscount Zetaman frowned for a while, then turned to ask Viscount Zetaman, but still did not get a clear answer.
"Lord Viscount, I think you heard this name from your son Olin, right?" Xu Yi reminded.
Viscount Zetaman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered.
"Yes, it was mentioned by this kid Olin. Oh, after you said that, I completely remembered it. Listening to Olin, he seems to be working in a workshop under your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce... oh no, he works in the factory. It seems to be making something... by the way, magic fan? Isn't it?"
Xu Yi nodded with a smile: "Lord Viscount, I thought you would be angry when you think of this."
Viscount Zetaman was taken aback: "Why am I angry?"
"Because I originally thought that you would feel embarrassed knowing that your son is actually working in an ordinary factory, so before I came to see you, I hesitated for a while and gathered up the courage to come."
Steele, who was beside him, almost laughed.
After seeing Viscount Zetaman just now, Xu Yi walked straight over without stopping. How could he hesitate and need to muster up his courage?
Viscount Zetaman laughed: "President Xu Yi, you think too much. That kid Olin is fine, but I've always been worried that he won't be able to endure hardships and has no patience. I never thought that he would be able to work in your factory now. After such a long time, it can be seen that he has made great progress, I can only be happy about it, how can I feel ashamed?"
"Yeah, although Olin looks tired every time he comes home, I can tell that he is actually very happy." Viscountess Zetaman also interjected. "To be honest, it's very rare for him to be so happy when he grows up. President Xu Yi, although I don't know what he does with you, but to be able to make him so invested and happy, I am him. My mother, I always wanted to thank you."
"Where..." Xu Yi waved his hands again and again. "Viscount and Madam, you are so kind. Orin has actually helped me a lot. To be honest, the core component of the magic fan produced by our chamber of commerce is the magic circle, and Orin is responsible for this aspect. work. He will not only complete the drawing, but also put forward many suggestions for improvement. I also gave him a special reward for this. During this time, he was responsible for the research and production of magic air conditioners, which also helped me a lot. , Speaking of which, I should thank the Viscount and his wife for educating such an outstanding son."
In any world, parents are happy when others praise their children in person, and Viscount Zetaman and his wife are no exception.
"Haha, President Xu Yi, you are really complimenting Olin too much. By the way, you just said that he was in charge of researching some magic air conditioner recently? What is this thing? Does it have anything to do with the magic fan?"
Seeing the curious look on Viscount Zetaman's face, Steele couldn't help but glance at Xu Yi.
This guy actually caught the fish like this?
Sure enough, Xu Yihao replied calmly: "Speaking of the magic air conditioner, in fact, this room has..."
