Everyone was stunned and looked at Xiu Qi at the same time.
At this time, Yerick, who was next to Xiu Qi, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Well, Xiu Qi is right. We did not participate in these two studies, so we should not share the money. I don't want it either."
Bella, who was standing next to Yerick, stretched out her hand to poke him and whispered: "Hey, Yerick, are you crazy? Everyone can get hundreds of gold coins, don't you want it? With this money, your father The disease is..."
"Stop talking!" Yerick shouted, stopping Bella from continuing. Then he raised his head and smiled awkwardly at Xu Yi and said: "President, these two studies have always been conducted by Evita and Akali was mainly responsible, and Bella and the other girls also participated. As for Xiuqi and I, we have not taken care of this money. You awarded it specifically for these two studies, and it should be divided between them and us. The two are unrelated.”
Seeing Bella winking at him, Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you make sense. Since you two did not participate in these two studies, it really doesn't make sense to give you money. Okay, this time the bonus will be divided equally among the researchers involved in the two studies. As for the future... Evita, I have one more job to give you. "
Evita looked at Xu Yi with some surprise: "President, please speak."
"Now that there are more and more researchers in this magic institute, we need a leader, so I decided to select one of them to be the dean. And in this institute, besides Steele, it is you and Akali is the oldest. Steele rarely participates in specific magic research work, so apart from her, the only ones left are you and Akali. Are you willing to accept it? ?" Xu Yi asked.
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Evita was even more surprised and couldn't close her mouth for a long time. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm just an ordinary researcher and I'm not qualified for the position of dean. President, why don't you choose someone else? For example, Cecilia, I think she is very suitable."
Cecilia shook her head simply: "I support Evita."
"I support it too."
"Well, I agree. Evita is very suitable to be the dean."
"Yes, I think so too."
…
Others agreed one after another, and soon a unified opinion was reached.
Besieged Akali's eyes widened. He said to Xu Yida unconvinced: "President, why are Evita and I both qualified, but you chose her over me?"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "Okay, the first task I give the dean is to create a detailed and complete reward system. Are you willing to do it?"
"Then forget it..." Akali waved her hands repeatedly. "For such a troublesome job, Evita is more suitable. I can't do it."
Everyone knew that Akali was joking, but now seeing her reaction, they couldn't help laughing at the same time.
Xu Yi turned to Evita: "Look, everyone agrees that you will be the dean. What else do you have to say no to."
"But..." Evita lowered her head and gritted her teeth and hesitated for a while, then raised her head again. His eyes became determined. "Okay, since President, you want me to be the dean, then I will agree. If there is anything I have not done well, I hope that the President and everyone will point it out at any time."
Everyone clapped together, which was regarded as congratulating Evita and confirming this matter.
"Well, I have some things to explain to our dean alone. You can go about your business first." Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand. After everyone dispersed, he signaled to Evita to follow him. We came to the inner hall together.
"What did Bella say about Jerick's father just now?" Xu Yi asked Evita as soon as he sat down.
"I knew that President, you would definitely ask about this matter." Evita smiled slightly, then sighed, and replied: "Jerik's father has been seriously ill and needs money for medical treatment. But it is said that the medical expenses It requires a very large amount of money, and their family simply cannot afford it. Although his father can still survive by taking medicine, it would still cost a lot of money. If you can earn more than ten or even twenty gold coins a month, come here immediately.”
"That's right." Xu Yi nodded. "Is a few hundred gold coins enough to treat his father's illness?"
Evita shook her head: "It shouldn't be enough. When he was in the academy, he once said that to completely cure his father's disease, at least two thousand gold coins would be needed. It is impossible for their family to spend so much money, so in fact His father is basically waiting to die."
Having said this, a trace of sadness flashed across Evita's face, and then she looked at Xu Yi expectantly and asked: "President, I know you are actually a very kind person. You asked me specifically about this matter. Do you want to pay for his father’s medical treatment?”
"Do I look like a good person?" Xu Yi smiled and said thoughtfully: "I do want to help him. After all, two thousand gold coins is not a big number for me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is completely burdensome. I can afford it. But Evita, you have also seen that Jerick is a person with strong self-esteem. If I went directly to tell him that I would sponsor two thousand gold coins for his father's medical treatment, I'm afraid you wouldn't accept it. He even refused the few hundred gold coins that were at his fingertips."
Evita's two beautiful plum blossoms frowned slightly.
"My father is my closest relative. Compared to my self-esteem, my father's life is obviously much more important. Although Yerick's actions can make people think that he has great self-esteem, he has lost the opportunity to save his father. I am very dissatisfied." I like what he does.”
Xu Yi glanced at Evita with some surprise, and found a trace of unconcealed anger in her delicate and quiet brows.
This was the first time he had seen Evita angry in all the time he had known her.
"I don't like this approach very much either." Xu Yidao. "But this is a fact, and we can't change it. Since we really want to help Jerick, we have to think carefully about how to make him accept it from his perspective."
Evita looked at Xu Yi: "President, are you serious?"
Xu Yi was stunned: "Can this kind of thing be joked about?"
Evita was slightly startled, and her face suddenly turned slightly red. He lowered his head and said, "President, you are right. I shouldn't ask this."
Xu Yi waved his hand: "It's nothing. I just thought about it. In fact, there is a way that Yerick should accept, and that is to create a special relief fund in our chamber of commerce."
"Special relief fund?" Evita still raised her head. "What is this for?"
"This thing is open to all employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The so-called special relief fund means that as long as employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce encounter special difficulties and urgently need a large amount of funds, they can apply to the chamber of commerce for special relief from this fund. Once the chamber of commerce verifies that it is true, the funds can be released to the employees on a case-by-case basis.”
Evita asked in surprise: "Is it free?"
"Of course not. Employees who receive special assistance must use their work in the chamber of commerce to gradually return the assistance funds they receive. For example, if your family encounters any difficulties and applies for a special assistance fund of one thousand gold coins, then you You have to use your salary from working in the chamber of commerce to repay it. Of course, it is impossible for you to use all your salary every month to repay the loan, but to pay back a certain amount every month.”
"The specific amount depends on the situation. For example, your current salary is twenty-five gold coins per month. After becoming the dean, I will increase your salary to thirty gold coins per month, so that you can pay for it every month. Twenty gold coins are used for repayment. For two thousand gold coins, it only takes a little more than eight years to pay off. If your salary increases again midway, you can even pay it off longer."
After listening to Xu Yi's explanation, Evita didn't even notice that Xu Yi mentioned that he wanted to increase his salary. Instead, he calculated silently in his mind for a while and found that Xu Yi was absolutely right.
If there really is such a special rescue fund. That is an extremely important benefit for all employees of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"But President, I think there are many loopholes in this. For example, if an employee applies for a large amount of relief funds, but later leaves the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there is not enough income to repay the loan, this fund Isn’t it a complete loss?” Evita asked with a frown.
"You are indeed a thoughtful girl, and you are worthy of me asking you to serve as the dean." Xu Yi smiled and praised, and continued; "There must be loopholes, but we can gradually improve to make up for these loopholes. In any case, we can’t just be afraid of these problems and not make any efforts?”
Evita looked at Xu Yi blankly, with a confused expression on her face. After a while, she suddenly sighed softly: "Sometimes, I really envy Steele."
"Huh? What did you say?" Xu Yi was recalling similar charitable funds on Earth in his mind to see if he could find some systems that could be used as a reference. He didn't hear Evita's murmur clearly at all.
"It's nothing." Evita shook her head, regained her energy, and responded: "President, if there was such a special relief fund, I think Yerick would not be so resistant. As long as we can make it clear to him If he still needs to repay the money, I don’t think he will think it is detrimental to his self-esteem.”
"Yes, that's it. But how to persuade him specifically depends on you old classmates to find a way. As for what to do... I'll leave it all to you." Xu Yidao.
"Okay, leave it to me, please don't worry." Evita nodded vigorously.
Xu Yi smiled, glanced outside the room, a complicated look flashed across his face, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked Evita: "I haven't seen Wella and Rem today, are they together?" out?"
"No. Something happened at home, sister Weina. She left early in the morning and asked us to ask for three days' leave when we see you. I was just showing you the research results, but I gave you Forgot." Evita replied.
"Something happened? What happened? Is it serious?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"I don't know. Sister Wella didn't say anything. But judging from her appearance, it doesn't seem serious."
"That's good. What about Rem? Why isn't he here either?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Rem went out after Sister Wella left. He said he had something to do and wouldn't be back until the afternoon."
"Really?" Xu Yi pondered for a while, looking a little hesitant.
Evita couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? You suddenly asked them, do you want to see them for something?"
Xu Yi glanced at Evita, calmed down, and said sternly: "Evita, please don't reveal the conversation between me and you next, do you understand?"
Evita was startled and looked at Xu Yi in astonishment. Seeing his serious expression, she thought about it and nodded slowly.
"Okay. Let me ask you a question first. Did Rem go out a lot during this period?" Xu Yi asked.
Evita tilted her head and thought for a while: "Quite a lot. I have to go out probably every few days."
"How long does it usually take for him to go out?" Xu Yi continued to ask.
"Not necessarily. Sometimes I'll be away for half a day, sometimes less than an hour."
"Did he say anything about what he was going to do?"
"No, he never said that." After answering, Evita couldn't help but ask: "President, could it be that... Rem... does he have any problem?"
Xu Yi sighed and shook his head: "I don't want him to have any problems, but... OK, let's not talk about it for now. Evita, can you cooperate with me in a play?"
"Acting?" Evita was stunned again. (To be continued...)
