Early the next morning, Anklu woke up in the bed prepared for him by the maids in the small building. He first felt a headache, and then instantly recalled everything about last night.
Thinking of what he said in front of Xu Yi last night and those rude performances, he hated why he couldn't forget everything that happened when he was drunk like other people when he sobered up, but could remember it so clearly.
When he went downstairs and saw Xu Yi, his embarrassment deepened.
Xu Yi didn't show any strange expression, and pointed to the opposite side of the table: "Sit down, I think you must be very hungry now."
A rare blush flashed across Anklu's face. After thinking about it, he pulled out the stool and sat down. Without saying a word, he grabbed the breakfast that had been prepared on the table and ate it.
Although he ate very quickly, Xu Yi found that he chewed every bite of food carefully before swallowing it.
Judging from this detail, this Angkru must be a person who is extremely self-disciplined about himself.
It didn't take long for Anklu to finish his breakfast, wipe his mouth, and the expression on his face returned to normal.
Seeing his performance, Xu Yi nodded appreciatively.
Being able to recover quickly under such circumstances is enough to show that Angkru's heart is quite strong.
"President Xu, I was really out of character last night. I'm very sorry." Anklu said calmly.
Xu Yi smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, everyone loses control when drunk. But Mr. Ankru, are you really completely disappointed with the Principality of Standing?"
Anklu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't hide anything in front of Xu Yi. He shook his head and said, "No. Although I am a little disappointed, I am not desperate. I still believe that as long as I find the right way, this country can still become what I want it to be."
"But is your ideal Principality of Standing what other people want it to be?"
The corner of Anklu's mouth twitched twice, revealing a very forced smile: "I can't guarantee it. But I believe that my ideal Principality of Standing will at least allow most of the people in the principality to live a better life. ”
Xu Yi stared at Anklu for a while and nodded slightly: "I have to say that I admire you as an idealistic person. Because I am actually the same. But Mr. Anklu, I don't think I need to remind you. , you should also know. From my point of view, the best choice now is to leave you alone and directly cooperate with the great nobles in the Standing Principality, such as Grand Duke Standing and Chief Weilun. I think working with them will allow me to think about a lot less issues than working with you.”
Anklu's face suddenly changed, and then he immediately took a deep breath and regained his composure. He looked at Xu Yi and said seriously: "President Xu. I admit that it would be easier for you to cooperate directly with them. But I am sure , you and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may gain huge benefits in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely make you very disappointed."
Xu Yi sighed softly: "This is also what I am worried about. But although I pay more attention to long-term interests and cooperation, I hope to cooperate with smart people like you, but Mr. Ankru, you are in the Principality of Standing. … I’m afraid I don’t have enough decision-making power.”
Anklu looked slightly sad and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Not now, doesn't mean I won't have it in the future. Through the opportunity to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce, I think I will slowly gain some decision-making power."
"I believe you have this ability." Xu Yi nodded. "But I did not wait for you to obtain these powers. Mr. Ankru, you should know that the development speed of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce is very fast. So if we cannot get what we need from the Principality of Standing now, then it will be very soon. It’s possible that in two years, we won’t need these things provided by the Principality of Standing.”
"No!" Angkru shouted immediately. "The Principality of Standing must have what you need, President Xu, I can guarantee that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be able to gain enough benefits here!"
"I said, the most important thing is time." Xu Yi was unmoved, slowly but unquestionably said: "It has already taken me a week to come to the Principality of Standing this time. Including the time needed to go back. If it takes more than half a month, it will probably take more than half a month. If I can't see anything here that is enough to satisfy me, then I will have to regretfully announce that I have given up my expectations for this place. Mr. Unkrull, do you think I am right?"
Anklu pondered for a while, then asked Xu Yi in a deep voice: "President Xu, what exactly do you need to make a decision?"
"I need a leader who can make me feel safe investing here." The expression on Xu Yi's face became very serious. "But to be honest, neither Grand Duke Standing nor Chief Wei Lun has the qualifications and ability to reassure me. If the only person I can rest assured is, Mr. Unkrull is the only one at the moment."
Anklu's breathing suddenly became heavy. He stared at Xu Yi for a long time and said slowly: "President Xu, what exactly do you want to say?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Mr. Anklu, you are a smart man that I admire very much. I believe you understand what I mean. In addition, I also believe that you have enough courage, courage and ability. Of course, if you feel If you have any difficulties, I wouldn’t mind providing you with some help.”
Anklu's breathing became heavier and could be heard clearly in the quiet building.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth with great difficulty.
"President Xu, how can you help me?"
Hearing this question, the smile on Xu Yi's face instantly became much brighter.

Xu Yi stayed in Faraday City for another two days before bidding farewell to Grand Standing and leaving.
Before leaving, he assured Grand Duke Standing that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would arrange to start mining the three mines as soon as possible, and hoped that Grand Duke Standing would fully cooperate.
Grand Duke Standing naturally smiled and said that he would fully cooperate and would never let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce encounter any difficulties in its work in the Principality of Standing.
Of course he had to be very enthusiastic, because the two parties just initialed an agreement, and Xu Yi paid the deposit of 50,000 gold coins in one go.
The money Grand Duke Standing received in a year was only 200,000 gold coins, and more than half of it was used for daily expenses to maintain his luxurious life. In fact, he had no money at all.
Now Xu Yi casually paid 50,000 gold coins. In addition to letting him truly see the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it also made him naturally become more enthusiastic about Xu Yi's attitude.
Thinking that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really came to mine the mine, he would be paid the remaining 1.3 million gold coins one after another, Grand Duke Standing could not help but laugh so hard that his whole body fat trembled.
When leaving Faraday City, it was still Anklu who saw him off.
However, this time Anklu did not bring any entourage. Instead, he and Xu Yi took the two maids sent by the Wei Lun clan leader and left in a carriage.
The route of leaving is also slightly different from when we arrived.
After the carriage left Faraday City, it took a slight detour to the east, chose a secluded place on the way, and drove into a dense forest.
Xu Yi jumped off the carriage, gave an explanation to Anklu, and walked quickly deep into the dense forest.
When the carriage was no longer in sight, Xu Yi shouted in a low voice: "Okay, Yanis, you can come out now."
A chuckle suddenly sounded in the void, and the familiar figure of Yanis appeared from the side, and then completely beyond Xu Yi's expectation, she pounced directly on Xu Yi.
Feeling the warmth of Yanis's body and the fragrance from her hair, Xu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yanis, what's wrong with you? Are you being bullied?" Xu Yi asked, then looked unkindly at the three elves from the Moon Shadow Tribe who appeared from the void with Yanis.
The leader of the three elves was the elf who took the letter from Xu Yi last time. Seeing Xu Yi's unfriendly eyes, he immediately frowned and said: "Human, are you doubting us? Last time I told you, Yanis is a guest from afar, how can we bully her."
"Yes, the people of the Moon Shadow Tribe are very good to me." Yanis let go of Xu Yi and asked curiously.
He didn't look like he was bullied at all.
"Why did you suddenly hug me when I wasn't being bullied?" Xu Yi said angrily. "I was shocked. I thought you were like those little human girls who threw themselves into my arms and cried after being bullied."
"Would a human girl throw herself into your arms and cry when she was bullied?" Yanis became even more curious. "But I just want to hug you after seeing you, there is no other meaning."
"Just want to hug me?" Xu Yi looked at Yanis with wide eyes. "Why do you want to hug me all of a sudden? You have been with me for so long before, and I have never seen you take the initiative to hug me."
"Yeah, why this time..." What made Xu Yi angry and funny was that Yanis actually thought about it seriously because of this issue.
Seeing her serious thinking, Xu Yi could only shake his head and asked the elf: "Since you sent someone to notify me to meet here, does that mean that Elder Lisania Shadowsong agreed to meet me? "
The male elf nodded: "Yes, the elder asked us to welcome you as a guest in our tribe, please."
Seeing the other two elves, a man and a woman, looking at him curiously, Xu Yi smiled slightly, pulled Yanis who was still thinking, and followed the male elf into the depths of the forest.
After walking two steps, Yanis suddenly looked like she suddenly woke up and said loudly: "I know why! President, I suddenly want to hug you because I miss you!"
Xu Yi and the other three elves looked at Yanis in shock.
Looking at Yanis, who was relieved and smiling happily because she finally thought of the answer, Xu Yi couldn't help but slap his head.
This Agnes, how far will she go to stay naturally... (To be continued...)
