"Hey, Lord City Lord, President Xu, what are you talking about?"
Xu Yi turned around and saw that it was Baron Billier. He immediately complained to Count Revere, pulled Baron Billier aside, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you entertaining the representative sent by Prince Frank?" Why are they here now?"
Baron Bilier glanced around, approached Xu Yi, and lowered his voice: "I came to you just because of them. %, the representatives sent by Prince Frank have arrived, and they want to meet you before the game. . It looks like they want to discuss something with you."
Xu Yi nodded, not too surprised.
It would be strange if Prince Frank really just sent representatives to come all the way to participate in this competition.
Now that he heard Baron Bilier's words, he felt relieved.
Xu Yi looked back at the lively opening scene of the Bangta City Road Cycling Race and responded: "Okay, I will go over after I finish attending the opening ceremony and ask them to wait for a moment. You can entertain them in my name first. I'll see you in about... two hours."
"I'm afraid this won't work." Baron Bilier shook his head, looking embarrassed. "President Xu, the representative sent by His Royal Highness asked you to meet with them immediately. If you arrive late... I'm afraid..."
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened and he snorted: "What? They can't even wait two hours?"
Baron Bilier's expression was very embarrassing: "President Xu... you understand... they... they are here on behalf of Prince Frank after all. Well... more or less... more or less... they respect their identity."
"Respect your identity?" Xu Yi sneered and glanced at Baron Billier, making him feel uncomfortable.
"President Xu. Don't take it too seriously. Say something you may not like to hear. If you want to cooperate with Prince Frank, you really have to look at their faces... So... it's better not to worry about it so much. ? Are you right?”
Seeing the wry smile on Baron Billier's face, Xu Yi frowned and remained silent for a moment, but remained unmoved. He shook his head and said, "No, I will do it every spring when the Bonta City Road Cycling Race starts. Attending the opening ceremony, this year will be no exception. Please tell the representatives sent by Prince Frank that I really have something important to do and ask them to wait patiently for a while, and I will resolve the matter as soon as possible. Go meet them."
"But… "
"Nothing but." Xu Yi waved his hand, interrupting Baron Bilier's words. "This is my decision, tell them for me."
Baron Billier opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing the serious expression on Xu Yi's face, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips and said helplessly: "Okay, I will entertain them first. Xu Yi President. You... have to come quickly."
Xu Yi frowned slightly as he watched Baron Billiel leave sadly.
Previously, he sneaked into the Candela Empire with Baron Bilier with the intention of meeting Prince Frank. But when Xu Yi only met his butler, he was already deeply impressed by Prince Frank's arrogance.
Now Prince Frank clearly took the initiative to send representatives to participate in the competition held here. It was obvious that he showed his intention to actively cooperate. However, these representatives of his still put on such a posture, which really made him very unhappy.
"What? What did Billiel say to make you so unhappy?" Count Revere was still frowning when he saw Xu Yi walking back, his expression uncertain, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Nothing." Xu Yi shook his head, shaking off the unhappiness caused by Prince Frank's representative, pondering for a moment, and continued: "Your Majesty, before the opening ceremony begins, let's discuss another matter first. You should know about the magic illusion projector that our chamber of commerce released more than two months ago?”
"Yeah, I know, what's wrong?"
"Regarding this magic illusion projector, our Chamber of Commerce hopes to set up five units in different places in Bangta City. In addition to mobile broadcasting of the illusion videos newly shot by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, some advertisements will also be played... "
…
The morning sun slanted upward, and the opening ceremony of the Bangta City Road Cycling Race started on time at nine o'clock.
With the experience of organizing in the past few years, the opening ceremony went on step by step and in an orderly manner.
However, due to the large number of participants this year, the opening ceremony was forced to be slightly longer. By the time it was all over, the time was approaching ten o'clock.
Fortunately, Count Revere and Xu Yi made a temporary decision to cancel two small links, which finally made it possible to announce the start of the game on time at ten o'clock.
After watching the contestants on the first day rushing out of the starting point one after another, Xu Yi looked at the time and found that it was already close to a quarter past ten, so he immediately said goodbye to Count Revere.
Count Revere was a little strange: "President Xu, won't you stay for lunch? There are many people looking forward to the lunch with you later."
Xu Yi smiled apologetically: "I'm afraid I can't do it today. Baron Bilier came to me just now because there was something urgent that I needed to deal with."
Seeing that Count Revel was still a little confused, Xu Yi coughed slightly and lowered his voice slightly. "It's related to the matter we discussed before."
Count Revere said, "Okay, go ahead and I will explain to them."
"Well, thank you, Lord Count." Xu Yi nodded, turned around and left quickly.
Watching Xu Yi quickly walk off the stage and get into his private magic car, Count Revere frowned with a puzzled look on his face.
What on earth happened that allowed Xu Yi to bypass himself, the city lord, and directly contact Her Majesty the Queen
Just when Count Revel was puzzled, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and a close aide of Count Revel walked over quickly from the city lord's palace.
"My lord, a secret message from Her Majesty the Queen."
"What a coincidence." Count Revel raised his eyebrows, took the secret letter from his confidant, came to a secluded corner, opened the letter and glanced at it, his expression suddenly shocked. "This President Xu is really very capable..."

Xu Yi drove a pure white magic car directly into Baron Bilier's private estate outside Bonta City without encountering any obstacles during the process.
After getting out of the car, Xu Yi looked at the time again and found that it was not yet eleven o'clock, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Although he was a little unhappy with the attitude of the representative sent by Prince Frank, after all, he attached great importance to the cooperation with the Candela Empire and very much hoped to successfully enter the market of the Candela Empire through Prince Frank, so he paid great attention to the cooperation with Prince Frank. connections between.
Previously, he could stick to his principles and continue to participate in the opening ceremony, but if conditions permit, he still hopes to have a good contact with the representatives of Prince Frank.
This time is still an hour away from lunch time, so we can take advantage of this time to have a good discussion with the representative sent by Prince Frank.
"President Xu, you are here." Baron Billil's butler Kogotz came out of the manor to greet him. After seeing Xu Yi, he immediately led him into the manor with a smile on his face. "The Baron and the guests are waiting for your arrival in the living room. Please follow me."
Xu Yi nodded and followed Kogotz into the manor.
After bypassing a small garden, the largest living room in the manor is right in front of you.
Before he reached the gate, he heard a slightly shrill voice coming from far away.
"Hey, Baron Billier, is President Xu coming or not? If he really doesn't plan to come, then we might as well leave now."
Baron Billil's voice sounded next.
"Don't! Mr. Mancini, please be patient. Since President Xu said he would come, he will definitely come. He attaches great importance to your arrival. He has been here since more than a month ago. I’ve been carefully prepared, so why don’t I come to see you? Please wait a little longer, I think he will be here soon.”
"A while? Huh! You've said this several times!" The slightly shrill voice was full of mockery. "This President Xu dares to neglect us like this. This is simply an insult to us! Baron Bilier, we are here on behalf of the Prince. If he neglects us, he is neglecting the Prince. Huh, he is so brave! "
Xu Yi, who had almost reached the door of the living room, was still frowning deeply, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
What this guy said was exactly the same as what Prince Frank's butler Como said before.
Do Prince Frank’s subordinates all like to speak in such a arrogant tone
Baron Billier's wry laughter came from the living room: "No, no, no, Manager Mancini, please don't misunderstand me. President Xu definitely didn't mean to neglect you at all. He even specially asked me to entertain you well." You guys, I'm afraid you've waited too long. He's really busy with something important right now, but I believe he will come to see you soon... please wait... "
"Is it important? Is there anything more important than us?" Manager Mancini was still dissatisfied with Baron Billier's answer and snorted coldly: "Baron Billier, don't blame us for not giving you face. We Give President Xu another half hour. If he doesn't show up before lunch, we'll leave. You can imagine how we will report to His Highness."
"Okay, okay, I will immediately send someone to urge President Xu and ask him to hurry up. You..."
A bright voice suddenly sounded at the door of the living room, interrupting Baron Bilier's words.
"No need to rush, Billil, I'm already here."
Baron Billier turned his head to look at the door in shock, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Yi's figure.
Everyone else in the hall also turned their attention to Xu Yi. Among them, the old-looking man sitting opposite Baron Bilier, who was white and beardless but full of wrinkles, had the sharpest gaze.
After looking at Xu Yi with a cold face for a while, he asked sharply: "Are you Xu Yi?" (To be continued...)
