Teresa walked in slowly with her usual frightened little rabbit look, glanced at Xu Yi, hesitated, and then asked softly: "President, you... do you have time now? "
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Yi asked. ,
"If you... if you have time, can you please go to the R&D center to take a look? Master Canby and the others... they are about to fight."
"Huh?" Xu Yi thought that someone like Teresa suddenly came to him because of something else, but he never expected that such a thing would be revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Kanby and the others are going to fight? With whom? Why?" Xu Yi asked with shock on his face.
"With Master Donorman, Master Botru and the others." Teresa lowered her head and responded. "They were arguing about the magic cannon, and no one was convinced, so they were quarreling fiercely now. When I left just now, they almost started to fight... "
"These guys are really..." Xu Yi shook his head helplessly.
Dwarves like Canby work hard, have excellent skills, are not afraid of hardship, and are passionate about their research work. They can be said to be perfect R&D personnel, but they have a common bad habit, that is, they have the habits of the dwarfs. Some have hot tempers.
This fiery temper is okay in normal times, but during the research and development process, different opinions will inevitably arise, so it is easy to explode when they argue with each other.
Because of this, these dwarf engineers at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Machine Tool R&D Center had many quarrels before, and even got into fights.
Although they are very measured in their attacks, they will not cause any fatal harm. And I forget about it immediately after I finish it. Still getting along well. It does not affect the continued cooperation, but it is also a headache to have Xu Yi wipe their butt for them every time.
"Okay, I'll go over immediately." Xu Yi looked around, tidied up a little, and then motioned for Teresa to leave with him.
When she walked out of the living room, Teresa's eyes glanced at the large map hanging on the wall, and there was a trace of doubt in her expression.
Xu also noticed her gaze. He just smiled, said nothing more, and walked out quickly.
The Magic Machine Tool R&D Center is some distance away from Xu Yi's private estate. If Xu Yi was alone, he could directly use teleportation magic to move there instantly, but now that he has Theresa with him, he can't do that.
So he simply took Teresa to his magic car parked in the yard and motioned for Teresa to sit in it.
When the two of them were seated in the magic car, Xu Yi suddenly thought of a question.
"By the way, Teresa. How did you come here? And why did you come to me? Where is Phoebe? Why doesn't she come?"
The Fei Wen that Xu Yi was talking about was the administrative director of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Mainly responsible for various administrative affairs of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center and does not participate in specific R&D work.
According to what the engineers at the R&D center said privately, Feiwen was equivalent to their nanny and housekeeper.
In the past, when the quarrels between Canby and these guys got fierce, if they couldn't suppress it anymore, Fei Wen would always come to move Xu Yi as a reinforcement.
"Director Feiwen's granddaughter was born yesterday. She has taken leave these days." Teresa replied.
"Oh... I remember." Xu Yi nodded and continued to look at Teresa, waiting for her answer.
Teresa was looked down upon by Xu Yi's eyes, her face flushed slightly, she lowered her head again, and after a while she answered softly: "I saw that no one could stop Master Canby and the others, so I thought I should come to you to come forward. They are all very busy, and I feel... I feel like I haven’t met you, President, for a long time, so I came here... "
Seeing Teresa's ears turn red from shyness, Xu Yi smiled slightly, stopped asking, started the magic car, and rushed out of the manor in an instant.
After the magic car drove more than two kilometers on the road inside the main base, Teresa slowly recovered and raised her head to look at Xu Yi again, with a hint of concentration in her expression.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Yi noticed her gaze and asked with a smile.
Teresa quickly turned her face away.
"No... nothing..."
Teresa didn't speak, but Xu Yi took the initiative to ask.
"Speaking of which... Teresa, you have been working in the Military Magic Machinery Department of the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center for almost a year? I haven't asked you yet, how has it been working during this time?"
Hearing that Xu Yi was concerned about her condition, Teresa smiled sweetly and responded: "Thank you, President, for your concern. I have had a very fulfilling time during this time, and my colleagues in the R&D center are very kind to me and very caring." Me, I’m very happy with them.”
"Really? I heard from Evita that you often go to her to discuss the research and development of military magic machinery. It seems that you are working very hard."
A strange expression that was extremely imperceptible quickly passed over Teresa's face, and she nodded and said: "Well, I want to make more contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, so I have to work harder. Dean Evita is very good to me. , she helped me a lot.”
"Well, this is what she, the dean, should do. I also asked her privately to help you more." Xu Yi suddenly sighed softly: "But Teresa, you want to develop military magic machinery so much , is it really because of your father, Viscount Dolancarlo?"
The smile on Teresa's face disappeared instantly, and she lowered her head in silence for a moment. When she raised her head again, the expression on her face became extremely determined.
"Yes, Mr. President. My father and the entire family were destroyed by those despicable nobles of the Sac Kingdom. I am his only remaining daughter. I must avenge them!"
"But have you ever thought about a problem? In fact, even if you work hard to develop military magic machines, you may not be able to use them against the nobles of the Sark Kingdom. In fact, these military magic machines that you personally participated in the development of will not be used in the future. It will be sent to the nobles of the Sark Kingdom that you hate." Xu Yidao.
Teresa was stunned, couldn't help but widen her eyes, and asked Xu Yi with a look of disbelief: "President, you... are you kidding me? Are you planning to sell it to King Sack's personal magic machine? Then you Haven’t you always hated the Sark Kingdom?”
"I just don't like the Sark Kingdom, because they actually teamed up with Grand Duke Wei Lun to attack our Chamber of Commerce. But if we say hatred... that's not it. After all, I am a businessman after all, and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce. As long as the conditions If it’s enough, it’s possible to sell products to anyone, right?”
Teresa stared at Xu Yi blankly for a while, with various complex emotions passing through her eyes. Finally, she gritted her teeth, lowered her head again, and remained silent.
Xu Yi looked at her, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and continued to ask: "Are you disappointed?"
Teresa shook her head slowly, still silent.
"Teresa, I understand your feelings and sympathize with your experience. But you must understand that I am the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and I must consider the interests of the entire chamber of commerce. If we can make peace with the Sak Kingdom, we can benefit Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." If the flying business association brings enough benefits, I don't mind letting go of the previous grudges between the two parties. As for your personal wishes... Although it is cruel to say this, I can only say that it is not important in comparison. "
Teresa lowered her head even lower, and finally buried her head in her knees, folded her legs, hugged her hands, her back trembled slightly, and she let out a slight sob.
Xu Yi glanced at her, with a slightly weird smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but his tone of voice became gentler, and he said softly: "Actually, Teresa, don't you think the person you want to take revenge on is the wrong person? The one who persecutes your father, Viscount Dorancaro, and your family is not the entire Sac Kingdom, but just Count Ozil, right? Why do you have to target the entire Sac Kingdom?"
Teresa raised her head suddenly, with tears in her eyes and face, but she couldn't hide the surprise in her application.
"Will... Mr. President, do you... do you know?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Of course, after hearing what happened to you, I asked someone to investigate the matter. According to the intelligence, your father and family were framed by Count Ozil for so-called treason. The crime is, of course, a fiction. In fact, your father has been rehabilitated and his reputation has been restored in the Sac Kingdom. You have been staying here for the past few years, so you don’t know this news. "
Teresa's body trembled slightly, the expression on her face changed several times, and then she asked in a trembling voice: "President, you... Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me?"
"I only confirmed the news last month, and because I was busy, I never had the chance to tell you." Xu Yi shrugged.
Teresa looked at Xu Yi with a confused look on her face.
Xu Yi sighed: "Theresa, in fact, it doesn't matter even if you want to return to the Sark Kingdom now. Your father's reputation has been restored, and Count Ozil, who persecuted your father and family, has been convicted and imprisoned by the Sark Kingdom. So you can take over your father's title and live a normal and peaceful life back home. Are you willing to go back?"
Theresa was stunned for a long time, then slowly shook her head.
"No... I... I won't go back... I don't want to go back to the place that made me sad." After saying that, Teresa was suddenly shocked, looked directly at Xu Yi, and asked eagerly: "Mr. President, what are you doing? Do you want to drive me away?"
"Of course not." Xu Yi waved his hand. "You can stay here as long as you want if you want."
Teresa breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed all over.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and looked at Xu Yi seriously, her expression becoming extremely firm.
"Master President."
"Um?"
There was a sharp turn ahead. Xu Yi focused on driving and did not turn his head to look at her.
However, a moment later, he suddenly felt his right hand being grasped by a pair of soft hands, lifted up, and then pressed against a soft mass.
"squeak-"
The shrill sound of brakes suddenly sounded and spread far away. (To be continued...)
