"Although Hainas has told me in advance, I was still surprised when I saw you coming." Xu Yi stared blankly at Sevini opposite for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What? President Xu, don't you welcome me here?" Sevini smiled slightly. Although his skin had become slightly rough because he had been staying in the north of the kingdom some time ago, the expression on his face was as gentle as ever. kind.
"How is that possible?" Xu Yi quickly denied. "I was so happy that I almost jumped up when I learned that you were actually coming to take over as the city lord of Bangta City! If you don't believe me, just ask Hainas."
Sevini chuckled, shook his head and said: "There is no need to ask about this. I believe you should welcome my arrival very much. Otherwise, if I specifically asked my father to come to Bangta City, wouldn't it be pretentious?"
After finishing speaking, Sevini suddenly realized that the wording he used was a bit confusing. He coughed lightly, paused, and extended his hand to Xu Yi: "Anyway, President Xu, I am now the new city lord 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, reaching out his hand to hold Sevini's hand: "Your Highness, don't you think it's unnecessary to say these words to me? The cooperation between the two of us is not a day or two. You used to be here I said when we were here that if you were the city lord of Bangta City, we would be able to cooperate more easily. Now that this dream has come true, I am very happy." Xu Yi laughed: "How could Earl Satsuma do that? He is such a stingy person. Besides, even he must be very happy to see this situation, right? "
"Well, one and a half months ago, when I finished my inspection in the north of the kingdom and left Sewell City, Earl Satsuma once talked to me about the situation in Bonta City. He told me that he has always had some regrets. If he could have If you hold on to the position of city lord of Bangta City for a while, the development of Bangta City will not be hindered for so long. He must be very happy to see me take over as city lord."
"Of course, when it comes to caring about the development of Bangta City, Count Satsuma is more concerned about it than anyone else. After all, he has been the city lord here for more than ten years. Even now. When I talk to many people in Bangta City , they still remember Count Satsuma, and even praised him as the best city lord in the history of Bangta City," Xu Yi said with certainty. "Don't worry, the people of Bonta City have very simple requirements. They will support whoever can make their lives better. No matter your identity as the Queen, at least... you will not be more powerful than Earl Stark. Not popular?"
I heard Xu also mentioned his evaluation of Earl Stark. Sevini was silent for a while, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Earl Stark is actually not bad in ability, but his position determines that he can only take the method he needs. And because of his actions in Bonta City this year, He has made no achievements. I am afraid that after returning this time, his life will not be easy. "
Xu Yi was slightly startled: "Are you having a hard time? Hasn't he already taken over as the city lord of Luolun City? Ordinarily, Luolun City is so much bigger than Bangta City. This is considered a promotion for him. How can it be difficult?"...
"It seems that the information you got is not comprehensive." Sevini shook his head and said: "Since you know that I took over as the city lord of Bangta City this time, you must know. My two royal brothers will also serve as the two mayors. The city lord, and the city chosen by Brother Eric is Luolun City.”
Xu Yi was suddenly stunned: "Then what is Earl Stark going to do?"
"You know that the news that Earl Stark is going to take over as the Lord of Loren City was heard from Haynes, right?" Sevini asked.
"Yes, just like the news that you will come to take over as the lord of Bangta City this time, I heard it from Hainas." Xu Yi nodded and replied.
"No wonder you don't know about the latest changes. In fact, the news that Earl Stark took over as the Lord of Loren City was only a preliminary decision of the Kingdom Council, but it was not the final decision. And three days ago, Brother Eric chose to go With Laurent City as the city lord, Earl Stark will be idle for the time being and will make arrangements later. "
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Does Earl Stark have no objection?"
"He may have it personally, but this is actually the decision of the Stark family, so his personal opinion is meaningless. I think... you should understand why the Stark family does this, right?" Sevigny asked .
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and nodded: "Of course I understand. It seems that the Stark family is determined to announce to everyone that they want to support His Highness Prince Eric. Having said that, Your Highness, where are the people who support you? Just Is there no one as determined as the Stark family?"
"Isn't this you?" Sevini winked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was startled, then sneered and said: "Your Highness, you are really good at joking. I am just a small businessman. No matter how firmly I support you, what influence can I have? With the Stark family, There is absolutely no comparison between the giants."
Sevini pursed his lips and smiled: "President Xu, don't underestimate yourself. Even Earl Stark praised you greatly when we were doing the handover procedures, claiming that if it weren't for our different positions, he would definitely treat you I support you very much. You can even impress Earl Stark in just one year. I admire your ability very much."
"Oh? Count Stark also said such a thing?" Xu Yi was a little surprised. "I thought he would hate me to death."
"You wrongly blamed him." Sevigny shook his head slightly. "Actually, personally, I admire Earl Stark very much. He always targets you just because of the Stark family's decision-making. It's just a matter of stance at best. But when he talked to me, He analyzed the situation in Bangta City in great detail and showed that the development of Bangta City is now closely related to the development of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and even every move. He even told me that if I want Bangta City to achieve better development, , I must give your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce strong support.”
"Isn't this right?" Xu Yi frowned slightly. "Even if he is no longer the lord of Bangta City, his position will never change, right? Why would he express his appreciation to me and make such suggestions to you? Does he want to change his position, betray the family, and come here? Do you support me?"
"This is not something I can know." Sevini shook his head. "Anyway, these are his exact words."
Xu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while in confusion. He also had no clue. He had no choice but to shake his head and not think about the problem. He asked Sevini: "Well, my beloved Princess, now you have officially become our Bangta You are the new city lord, what do you plan to do next?”
Sevini smiled slightly, which was completely beyond Xu Yi's expectation. He squatted down and saluted Xu Yi, and said with a chuckle: "Dear Viscount Xu Yi, regarding how to manage and develop Bangta City, I hope you can give me your full support without hesitation." Give me the greatest support and advice.”…
Xu Yi was startled: "Hey, you are the Lord of the City, okay?"
Sevini winked at Xu Yi again, with a hint of naughtiness in her smile.
"But both my father and the two former city lords, Earl Satsuma and Earl Stark, have solemnly told me that regarding the development of Bangta City, I must carefully listen to your opinions as the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. So President Xu, you must shoulder this responsibility."
Seeing the joy from the heart in Sevini's smile, Xu Yi couldn't help but shook his head, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The news that Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny became the Lord of Bangta City was immediately publicized by "Bangta Daily".
On the day this news was released, people in Bonta City suddenly discovered that Bonta City seemed to have become extremely lively overnight. The city had been depressed for a year because of Count Stark's policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture. The streets of Bonta City seemed to be thriving again in the blink of an eye.
Countless shops that had been forced or voluntarily closed before reopened on the same day as if they had agreed to do so, and there were countless more people on the streets in an instant.
Although it is not as good as the most prosperous scene in the previous two years, it is no longer as depressed and deserted as when Earl Stark was the city lord.
It's just that the city lord has been changed, but the entire Bangta City seems to have changed in an instant and become full of vitality again.
Under such circumstances, naturally few people noticed that while the Bonta Daily announced that Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny had taken over Count Stark as the new city lord of Bonta City, it also announced another piece of news.
His Royal Highness Prince Eric serves as the Lord of Loren City.
And almost everyone naturally ignored some explanations and related analysis of the two appointments by the Bonta Daily.
According to the information obtained by "Bangta Daily", the reason why His Majesty the King unexpectedly appointed His Royal Highness Prince Eric and Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny as the city lords of Loren City and Bangta City respectively was to test their governance abilities. , in preparation for determining the heir to the throne.
If either of them can do well in the position of city lord, then they will naturally gain extra points in the eyes of His Majesty the King, adding chips to His Majesty the King'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 city owner, but from a long-term perspective, this will most likely determine the next king of the Lampali Kingdom.
As for the other Prince Miffam who was not mentioned by Bonta Daily, for some reason, he was ignored by everyone...
