The autumn wind was still a bit bleak, and Bangta City at night felt a little colder than during the day. There were far fewer pedestrians on the road than there were a month ago, making the whole city seem a bit deserted.
However, there were more than thirty carriages parked in front of a mansion to the east and north of Bangta City.
Although these carriages come in different sizes and shapes, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all extremely luxurious.
Not only are the exteriors of each carriage decorated with extremely expensive decorations that can be easily seen at a glance, but even the horses responsible for pulling the carriages are very handsome, and it can be seen that they are definitely not ordinary bad horses.
Just by seeing these carriages, you will know that their owners must be extremely wealthy, and any one of them may be a big shot in Bangta City.
From time to time, bursts of laughter and laughter could be heard in the mansion, accompanied by faint sounds of singing and dancing. It seemed that a banquet was being held inside.
Banquets that can gather so many important figures in Bangta City are rare in Bangta City.
A dark carriage suddenly drove over from the corner.
The carriage looks very ordinary in appearance, with no other decorations except a dilapidated lantern hanging on the outside. The horses pulling the cart also have mixed coat colors, and there is no trace of the color of the horse.
Judging from this carriage, the person sitting on it was obviously not a big shot, so before it reached the gate of the mansion, it was already stopped by the guards at the door.
Just as the guard was about to scold and drive the ignorant carriage away, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened and a young man jumped out.
Although the clothes on this man were not luxurious, and he was not seen wearing any expensive accessories, he was very dignified and showed a sense of confidence in his actions. At first glance, he was definitely not an ordinary civilian. The guard was stunned for a moment. After that, he temporarily swallowed the scolding that was about to leave his mouth.
The young man glanced at the guard, turned his head and stretched out his hand towards the car.
A delicate white hand lowered from the carriage, and with the help of the young man, a girl who was not tall, had a round face, a cute appearance, and a lively temperament also got out of the carriage.
Seeing this girl, the guard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and shouted: "You are Miss Akali!"
Akali had just jumped off the carriage when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked up in shock and saw the guard with a surprised look on his face, giving him a sweet smile.
"you know me?"
"Of course, of course!" The guard nodded excitedly. "Miss Akali, the billboard you made for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been standing outside the city gate. I have seen it countless times. I didn't expect to see you in person now. It's really... really..."
The young man on the side was of course Xu Yi. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw this guard looking like a star-struck person to Akali.
"Akali, you are famous and have fans."
"What are fans?" Akali glanced at Xu Yi inexplicably.
"Ah... fans... are people who follow and like you. If this big guard brother is so excited and happy after seeing you, then he is your fan."
"It sounds very powerful." Akali rolled her eyes and showed a sweeter smile to the guard again. "Brother Guard, we are here to attend a banquet. Can you let us pass?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He looked at Xu Yi aside and suddenly realized.
"This must be President Xu Yixu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."
Xu Yi and Akali, led by their guards, felt countless eyes sweeping over them as soon as they walked into the gate of the mansion.
Compared to the people here who were all extremely glamorous, wearing expensive clothes and gorgeous accessories, and looking extremely wealthy, Xu Yi and Akali were dressed too ordinary.
Although Xu Yi had tidied up before going out today, he was still wearing a set of ordinary cloth clothes. Apart from being neat and tidy, he couldn't see anything expensive at all.
Compared with Xu Yi, Akali is obviously well-groomed, but she is just the daughter of an ordinary family with average conditions. Naturally, she cannot wear many expensive and gorgeous accessories on her body, and her clothes are only an ordinary long dress. skirt, and a simple light purple shawl outside.
Of course, Akali is obviously carefully designed in some small places.
For example, her hair was slightly loosened, and then pulled into a bun behind her neck, exposing her fair neck just right.
Coupled with a small ornament in her hair and her round face, the whole person looks lively and playful.
Although it is definitely not as luxurious as the ladies present, it injects another unusual style into the banquet, which makes it even more eye-catching.
The venue was quiet for a few seconds, then a long burst of laughter suddenly sounded, and a middle-aged man with a thin face and equally thin body came out.
"This must be President Xu Yixu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?" The middle-aged man strode up to Xu Yi, held his hand, and laughed loudly. "I have heard of President Xu's name for a long time, but today is the first time I met him. President Xu is so young and promising, and I can't help but sigh that the younger generation is terrible."
Xu Yi frowned slightly. What did this middle-aged man mean by constantly emphasizing that he was young
Of course, Xu Yi would not reveal anything on the surface, but showed just the right amount of doubt and asked: "Excuse me, are you..."
Before the middle-aged man could answer, another fat middle-aged man walked out next to him and explained to Xu Yi with a smile: "President Xu, this is President Manhattan Lanco of the Salank Chamber of Commerce, and he is also our current president. President of the Bonta City Business Federation.”
But Xu Yi recognized this middle-aged man. His name was Moon Cruise, and he was the president of the Armli Chamber of Commerce.
The Amuli Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in construction projects. Xu Yi is preparing to expand the factory during this period, but he has had some contact with him and is considered familiar with him.
Hearing his introduction, Xu Yi immediately showed a surprised expression. He held President Lanke's hand tightly, shook it vigorously and said, "It turns out to be the respected President Lanke. I have heard about you a long time ago." Daimyo, I didn’t expect to see you in person today, I’m really excited.”
President Lanke laughed again: "President Xu is really an award. In this Bangta City, which chamber of commerce is more famous than your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? I'm afraid, President Xu, your name Even ordinary farmers in the villages outside the city are familiar with it, right?"
After hearing these words, the banquet that had just resumed some liveliness suddenly became quiet again.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Yi again, but the curiosity in their eyes now turned to envy and jealousy.
The farmer support plan launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was a hit last month.
There are a total of twenty-three ordinary farmers who have received support from this plan. These twenty-three people have earned enough attention during the autumn harvest and autumn planting stages by relying on the farmland magic machinery that they half rented and half borrowed from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Relying on the magic farm machinery in their hands, the efficiency of autumn harvest and autumn planting outside Bangta City this year has been significantly improved compared to previous years, and many farmers have further reclaimed more farmland and planted more seeds.
If all goes well, next year's grain harvest in Bangta City will be greatly improved.
Therefore, the city lord, Lord Sean Summer, issued a statement in the "Bangta Daily", expressing the city lord's appreciation for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and stated that it would fully support the farmer support plan proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and work hard Increase Bonta City's food production.
There are many chambers of commerce in Bangta City, but among so many chambers of commerce, this is the first time that a chamber of commerce has been named and praised by the city lord. Naturally, it caused a sensation at the time.
Thinking about the fact that "Bangta Daily", which is currently very popular in Bangta City and has become almost a daily read for Bangta people, seems to be inextricably related to this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the businessmen present looked at Xu Yi's His eyes became even more weird and complicated.
Where did this kid come from? In just over three months, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was established from scratch, and now it has become a large chamber of commerce that has a place in Bangta City.
Xu Yi naturally did not ignore the looks of the people around him, but seriously looked at President Lanke.
According to tradition, the business federation in each city will nominate a representative as the president. The person who can become the president of the business federation is of course a person with a very high reputation in the Chamber of Commerce in Bonta City.
President Manhattan Ranko has served three consecutive terms as the president of the Bonta City Business Federation for six years. He naturally has extraordinary prestige and ability, far beyond this little newcomer. The president of the Chamber of Commerce can be compared.
As a big shot like him, he wrote the invitation to himself in his own hand, and he is still showing such enthusiasm, so naturally there is a reason for it.
Xu Yi laughed and said: "President Lanke, you are the one who really deserves the award. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can only do small businesses for ordinary farmers, and how can we compare with your Sackland Chamber of Commerce. Take a look. Of all of you here, who doesn’t have two products from the Saclan Chamber of Commerce?”
The main business of the Saclan Chamber of Commerce is luxury goods. Its customers are either nobles or wealthy businessmen. Not only the profit rate is extremely high, but also because of the good relationships established with the aristocrats and big businessmen, Saclan The Lan Chamber of Commerce is extremely famous both in Bangta City and in several surrounding cities.
President Lanke shook his head and pointed at Xu Yidao: "President Xu, you don't have even one thing from our Saklan Chamber of Commerce on you." After saying that, he glanced at Akali who was standing aside, and showed a clear look. with a smile, turned around and waved back.
A young man with an ordinary face came over holding a wooden box, opened it in front of Xu Yi, and a fluorescent light suddenly shot out.
Akali took a closer look and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
There is a pearl necklace in the box. Each pearl is about the size of a thumb, and the pearls are round and full, and the same size.
Such a pearl necklace is naturally a rare treasure, and the price is probably more than five hundred gold coins at least.
President Lanke smiled and said: "Today is the first time that President Xu has come to attend the banquet of our business federation. As the president of the federation, it is my duty to prepare some gifts. President Xu, you may have some sympathy for us." I’m not interested in anything from the Crane Chamber of Commerce, but I think this beautiful lady will definitely like it.”
There was no need to ask, just seeing the reflective look in Akali's eyes, Xu Yi knew that she really liked this necklace.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi picked up the necklace from the wooden box with a smile and said to Akali, who was still in a daze: "Here, I will help you put it on."
Akali was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and waved her hands in a panic.
"No, no, this gift is too expensive, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Yi had already opened the necklace, linked his hands together, and put the necklace on Akali's neck.
Suddenly being held in Xu Yi's hands, Akali stiffened when she heard the breath coming from Xu Yi's arms.
By the time she reacted, Xu Yi had already finished putting on the necklace for her.
"Well, it's very beautiful. It suits you very well." Xu Yi glanced at Akali, who was already blushing, and praised, then turned to look at President Lanke. "Thank you, President Lanke, for the gift."
Seeing Xu Yi's actions, President Lanke seemed very satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. President Xu is too polite. Come on, President Xu, this is your first time here. How about we find a place to have a good chat?" ? I am very curious about President Xu.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I have long admired President Lanke, please."
