Chapter 73 You Are Responsible
"Although Haines had told me in advance, I was still surprised to see you coming." Xu Yi stared at Sevigny on the opposite side for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head.
"What? President Xu, don't you welcome me?" Sevigny smiled slightly, although his skin was a little rough because he had been in the north of the kingdom some time ago, but the expression on his face was as gentle as ever kind.
"How is that possible." Xu Yi quickly denied it. "I almost jumped up with joy when I learned that you actually came to take over as the city lord of Bangta City! If you don't believe me, ask Hynas."
Sevigny chuckled, shook his head and said, "I don't need to ask about this. I believe you should welcome me very much. Otherwise, I specifically asked my father to come to Bangta City, wouldn't I be self-indulgent?"
After he finished speaking, Sevigny suddenly found that his word was a bit sloppy, he coughed lightly, paused, and stretched out his hand to Xu Yi: "In short, President Xu, I am now the new city owner of Bangta City, As the most important business leader in Bangta City, I hope we can cooperate well in the future."
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to hold Sevigny's hand: "Your Highness, don't you think it's superfluous to say these words to me? The cooperation between the two of us is not a day or two. When I was here, I said that if you were the city lord of Bangta City, we would be able to cooperate more easily. Now this dream has come true, and I am very happy." Xu Yi laughed: "How could Earl Satsuma do this? Such a stingy person. Besides, even he must be very happy to see this situation now, right?"
"Well, a month and a half ago, when I finished my inspection in the northern part of the kingdom and left Sewell City, Earl Summer once talked to me about the situation in Bangta City. He told me that he had always had some regrets. If he could have Hold on to the position of the city lord of Bangta City for a while. The development of Bangta City will not be hindered, and it will be delayed for so long. Now I will take over as the city lord. He must be very happy to see it. "
"Of course, when it comes to caring about the development of Bangta City, Earl Summer is deeper than anyone else. After all, he has been the city owner here for more than ten years. Even now. When I talk to many people in Bangta City , they still miss Earl of Summer, and even praised him as the best city lord in the history of Bangta City." Xu Yi affirmed. "Don't worry, the people of Bonta City have very simple requirements. Whoever can make their lives better, they will support whoever. No matter who your highness is, at least...you will not be better than Earl Stark. More unwelcome?"
Listen to Xu Yi mentioning his evaluation of Earl Stark. Sevigny was silent for a while, shook his head lightly and sighed: "Count Stark is actually not bad, but his position determines that he can only take the way he needs. And because of his work in Bonta City this year, No achievements. I'm afraid that after returning this time, his future life will not be very good. "
Xu Yi was slightly startled: "Isn't it bad? He has already taken over as the city lord of Loren City. It is said that Loren City is so much bigger than Bangta City. This is a promotion, right? How can it be bad?"…
"It seems that the information you have received is not comprehensive." Sevigny shook his head and said: "Since you know that this time I took over as the city lord of Bangta City, you should know. My two brothers will also serve as two The lord of the city, and the city chosen by Brother Eric. It is the city of Loren."
Xu Yi was stunned: "What is Earl Stark going to do?"
"You know that Earl Stark is going to take over as Lord of Loren City from Haines, right?" Sevigny asked.
"Yes, just like the news that you will come to take over as the city lord of Bangta City this time, I have all heard what Hainas told me." Xu Yi nodded and replied.
"No wonder you don't know the latest changes. In fact, the news that Earl Stark took over as the city lord of Loren City is only a preliminary negotiated decision by the Kingdom Council, but not the final decision. Three days ago, Brother Eric chose to go to With Loren City as the city lord, Earl Stark is temporarily idle and will make arrangements later."
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Is Earl Stark okay with that?"
"He may have it personally, but it's actually the Stark family's decision, so his personal opinion is meaningless. I think...you should understand why the Stark family did this?" Sevigny asked road.
Xu Yi nodded with a wry smile: "Of course I understand. It seems that the Stark family is determined to announce to everyone that they want to support Her Royal Highness Prince Eric. Having said that, Her Royal Highness, what about the people who support you? Is there no one so determined as the Stark family?"
"Isn't this with you?" Sevigny blinked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Your Highness, you are really joking. I'm just a small businessman, no matter how firm I support you, what influence can I have? The behemoths are completely incomparable."
Sevigny pursed his lips and smiled: "President Xu, don't underestimate yourself. Even Earl Stark highly praised you when I went through the handover procedures, claiming that if it wasn't for a different position, he would definitely treat you with respect. Very supportive. You can even be convinced by Earl Stark in just one year. I admire this ability very much."
"Oh? Earl Stark said something like that?" Xu Yi was a little surprised. "I thought he would hate me to death in his heart."
"You're blaming him wrong." Sevigny shook his head slightly. "Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I still admire Earl Stark very much. It's just because of the Stark family's decision-making that he targets you everywhere. At best, it's just a matter of position. When he talked to me, he Analyzed the situation of Bangta City to me in great detail, showing that the development of Bangta City is closely related to the development of your new flying chamber of commerce and even every move, and even told me that if you want Bangta City to get better development , you must give strong support to your new flight chamber of commerce."
"Isn't that right?" Xu Yi frowned slightly. "Even if he is no longer the lord of Bangta City, his position will never change, right? Why does he appreciate me and make such a suggestion to you? Does he want to change his position, betray the family, and turn around support you?"
"This is not something I can know." Sevigny shook his head. "Anyway, these are his original words."
Xu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while in confusion, but also had no clue, so he shook his head without thinking about this question, and asked Sevigny: "Well, my dear princess, now you have officially become our Bonta. The new city lord of the city, what do you plan to do next?"
Sevigny smiled slightly, completely beyond Xu Yi's expectations, he even squatted and bowed to Xu Yi, and said with a light smile: "Dear Viscount Xu Yi, regarding how to manage and develop Bangta City, I hope that you will be able to do so without hesitation. Give me the greatest support and advice.”…
Xu Yi was startled: "Hey, you are the Lord of the City, okay?"
Sevigny blinked at Xu Yi again, and there was a hint of mischief in his smile.
"But whether it's my father, the two former city lords, Earl of Summer and Earl Stark, they have solemnly explained to me that about the development of Bangta City, you must listen carefully to the opinions of you, the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. So President Xu, you must bear this responsibility."
Seeing the joy in Sevigny's smile, Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head, not knowing what to say for a while.
###
The news that Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny was the lord of Bonta City was immediately publicized by the "Bonta Daily".
On the day this news was released, people in Bangta City suddenly discovered that Bangta City seemed to become very lively overnight. The streets of Bangta City seem to be booming again in the blink of an eye.
Countless shops that were forced or voluntarily closed before seemed to have agreed to reopen on the same day, and countless people flowed on the streets instantly.
Although it is not as good as the most prosperous scene in the previous two years, it is no longer like the depression and deserted look when Earl Stark was the city lord.
It was just a change of the city lord, but the entire Bangta City seemed to have changed its appearance in an instant and became alive again.
Under such circumstances, naturally few people noticed that the "Bonta Daily" announced another news while announcing that Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny succeeded Count Stark as the new lord of Bonta City.
His Royal Highness Prince Eric is the Lord of Loren City.
And almost all of them have naturally ignored some of the explanations and related analysis of the two appointments by the Journal of Bonta.
According to the information obtained by the "Bonta Daily", the reason why His Majesty the King unexpectedly asked His Royal Highness Prince Eric and His Royal Highness Princess Sevigny to be the city lords of Loren City and Bangta City, respectively, was actually to test their ability to govern. , in preparation for the determination of the heir to the throne.
If either of the two of them can do a good job in the position of the city lord, then it will naturally get the extra points in His Majesty's mind, adding chips to His Majesty's final decision on who will take over the throne.
So from the perspective of the people of Bangta City, this is just a change of the city lord, but from a long-term perspective, this will most likely determine the next king of the Lampari Kingdom.
As for another Prince Mifam who was not mentioned in the "Bonta Daily", he was ignored by everyone for some unknown reason...
