Xu Yi didn't hesitate at all, smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Hearing Xu Yi's affirmative answer, the reporters in the audience suddenly became noisy.
After a moment, a bunch of arms were raised in the audience.
"President Xu, are you really sure you want your daughter to be your sole heir?"
"President Xu, when you say sole heir, do you mean that except for your daughter, your other descendants will not inherit any of your family property?"
"President Xu, if you have another son in the future, wouldn't you consider letting him inherit your family property?"
"President Xu..."
…
After waiting for the reporters in the audience to subside from their excitement and regain their composure, Xu Yi smiled and asked, "Why do you react like this? She is my daughter. As a Is there something wrong with my heir?"
"The key point is solemnity!" A reporter in the audience shouted loudly: "President Xu, the solemn meaning is that you don't plan to leave your family property to your other children?"
"I think your understanding is somewhat biased." Xu Yi shook his head. "The only heir means that my daughter is the only person who can possibly inherit my title. As for the family property... that is another matter."
"Title?" The reporters were all stunned. "It has nothing to do with the family property? What about the position of president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Doesn't it have anything to do with it?"
Xu Yi looked at the reporter who asked the question in surprise.
"The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not belong to me alone, why should my children inherit the position of president? What's more, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really belongs to me alone, the president should also choose a capable person. If My children are not outstanding in business ability, do I want to watch the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce decline in their hands? "
The reporters thought about it and felt that Xu Yi's words made some sense. But it is really inconsistent with the tradition on the Sainz continent.
According to tradition, Xu Yi is absolutely unwilling to hand over a large chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which Xu Yi has absolute control over, into the hands of outsiders.
No matter what, he will train his heir to be the next president, allowing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to control the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes and still have actual control.
Judging from Xu Yi's attitude, his most likely approach will be the second one.
After all, if his children inherit his title. That would also be nobility.
And his children may not be as special as Xu Yi, who can have the status of a noble and a businessman at the same time. So control behind the scenes is also most feasible.
Thinking of this, the reporters were immediately relieved.
However, this problem can be solved, but there are more problems.
"President Xu, you said that your daughter will inherit your title in the future. Why not consider leaving it to your son?" a reporter asked. "Many people say that you did this to show your support for Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny. Is that true?"
This issue is what all reporters really care about.
If Xu Yi answers yes, it means that he has begun to formally and clearly express his support for Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny to everyone, which means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be officially included in Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny's camp.
Although everyone would have the same view if Xu Yi had not done so, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may change its position at any time until Xu Yi clearly states his position. It’s also possible to have a greater buffer on many things.
After Xu Yi has stated his position now, it will be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to change in the future. Xu Yi's doing so is equivalent to placing all his bets on Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny.
And once Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny failed to ascend the throne in the end. But if His Royal Highness Prince Eric becomes the next king, then the outcome of waiting for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be imagined.
Therefore, although Xu Yi only confirmed that his daughter is his only heir, it seems to be just his private family matter at first glance. However, due to Xu Yi's sensitive identity and the importance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this matter is more than just a matter. A family matter. There are so many factors involved.
How could Xu Yi not know what the reporters were thinking at this time, and he understood even more what they meant by asking this question. But he made this choice after careful consideration, and naturally he would not appear panicked when faced with this problem now.
"First of all, I don't have a son now." Xu Yi smiled. "Secondly, even if I have a new love relationship with Steele in the future, and we have a son, but since I have determined the heir, there will be no changes. Because the more important it is on such an important issue, The less likely we are to repeat things, otherwise it will be bad for everyone. I hope that my children can live in harmony, and I don’t want to see them become dissatisfied with each other or even fight with each other because of unclear inheritance rights.”
The reporters in the audience opened their eyes wide at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.
"President Xu, can I interpret your words as an accusation against His Majesty the King?" a reporter couldn't help but asked loudly.
Xu Yi smiled softly and spread his hands: "This is your own understanding and has nothing to do with me."
The reporters ignored Xu Yi's vague statement and wrote down Xu Yi's answers word by word in the small notebooks in their hands.
A moment later, another reporter asked: "President Xu, you haven't answered the next question yet. Did you deliberately choose to make your daughter the sole heir to show your support for Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny?"
"You can think so, because it does contain part of my thoughts." Xu Yi nodded. "But for me, this is my and Steele's first child, and its status in my mind is very important. Seeing her birth, I couldn't wait to give her everything I have. As for the title, President, nothing matters in comparison. This is a father’s normal thought, and I think you should be able to understand it.”
Although the reporters also wrote down the second half of Xu Yi's answer, they compared it. Undoubtedly, his first affirmative answer was much more important.
Xu Yi confirmed the reporters' questions, which means that he really expressed his support for Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny through his decision.
Given the importance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the entire Lampali Kingdom, Her Royal Highness Princess Sevini has received clear and comprehensive support from Xu Yi. That is equivalent to adding an extremely important bargaining chip to Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, which will be extremely helpful for Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny to inherit the throne.
But Xu Yi's approach had a drawback, that is, he clearly meant to irritate His Majesty the King.
Isn't he worried that this approach will arouse His Majesty the King's resentment, but will make His Majesty the King more inclined to let His Royal Highness Prince Eric inherit the throne

"It's okay for those stupid reporters to think so, why would you think so, Dema?"
Just as King Lampali XIII finished speaking, he started coughing violently again.
Although winter has long passed. However, Lampali XIII's health did not improve much and he still looked very weak.
Although it’s not like staying in the bedroom every day in winter. But there wasn't much time to leave the room.
"Deciding the heir to the throne is related to the entire kingdom. How could I be emotional? Whether it is Eric, Sevini, or Miham. The decision to let them succeed me as the king ultimately depends on them. "Who can make a greater contribution to the kingdom should not be determined by my personal preferences."
Dema nodded lightly, and then said: "But Your Majesty, I think Xu Yi is right at least a little bit. If the heir to the throne can be determined as soon as possible so that His Highness Prince Eric and the others do not compete with each other for the inheritance rights, whether it is for you , or it would be very beneficial to them. Why didn’t you make sure of it early on?”
"Are you blaming me?" Lampali XIII smiled slightly, and then sighed deeply. "Do you think I don't want to do this? But after all, the royal family is not a small family like Xu Yi. The successor is an extremely important decision that involves too many things. How can it be possible to determine the candidate easily. Xu Yibu also said Is that so? If his children are not capable enough, he can’t just teach them the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and watch them destroy the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?”
"But Xu Yi can hand over the management of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to others, but you can't hand over the entire kingdom to others. After all, this throne can only be inherited by your children. So..." Dematon After a pause, he gritted his teeth hard. As if he had made up his mind. "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid... "
Lampali XIII looked at Dema quietly for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"Dema, you have never taken the initiative to express your opinion on this matter before. Why are you so active today?"
Dema showed a bitter smile and did not answer.
Lampali XIII sighed again.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. Are you worried about my health? Do you think I can't hold on much longer?"
Dema lowered her head deeply, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head again, but there were already two lines of hot tears on her face, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Your Majesty... I... I watch you... you are getting weaker day by day, but I can't think of any way to save you. I am really... really sad. I know that the most important thing in your mind is the entire kingdom, so I very much hope that you can determine this most important thing for the kingdom as soon as possible, then put your mind down and do well... well... "
"Would you like to spend your last days well?" Lampali XIII smiled slightly and waved to Dema, motioning for him to come over.
When Dema came to his side, Lampali XIII suddenly raised his arm and threw it away fiercely.
"Snapped-"
Dema covered her burning face and looked at Lampali XIII in shock.
"What? In your opinion, am I already a dead person about to be buried?"
Lampali XIII, who had been very weak during this period, was like a lion that had been enraged. Although he was still weak, he was so powerful that no one could resist.
"I am the king of this kingdom! I don't need pity from others, and I am not qualified to be pity! Since I am the king, I must bear the responsibility of the king! Choosing the most suitable heir for this kingdom is my last and most important task. It is an important responsibility, and I must fulfill it very seriously, so as long as I am not dead, I must use my best efforts to consider this matter, do you understand?”
Dema looked at Lampali XIII blankly, and then nodded slowly after a while.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have offended you, and I ask for your forgiveness."
Lampali XIII snorted heavily and stretched out his hand to Dema.
"I've finished reading about Sevini. Go get the report from the Northern Province and let me see what Eric is doing during this time." (To be continued)
