Hearing this cold snort, Alex's whole body trembled, and his body immediately straightened up, staring straight ahead, not daring to move.
Although Xu Yi is actually only less than five years older than Alex, because of Xu Yi's identity and because Xu Yi and Heinze have always been the closest friends, Alex's relationship with Xu Yi It is natural for him to put his status very low in front of others.
In addition, Alex made a serious mistake before. If Xu Yi hadn't ignored it for Heinze's sake, he might still be in jail now, never being able to get out of jail.
So every time he saw Xu Yi, Alex always felt a little scared.
This time Xu Yi suddenly called him without telling him any reason in advance, which really made him extremely uneasy.
"Alex." Xu Yi suddenly shouted.
"Ah? Ah, yes! Yes, sir, do you have any orders?" Alex asked cautiously.
Xu Yi glanced at him and snorted softly: "I heard that you always seem to have nothing to do recently. Do you feel that staying at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters has wronged you and is boring?"
Alex was startled, waved his hand quickly, shook his head vigorously and said: "No, no, sir, it's not boring at all, really! I have a lot of things to do every day, how can I be bored? "
"Really?" Xu Yi glanced at his extremely clean clothes and couldn't help but snorted again.
Because Alex made a big mistake before, after Xu Yi transferred him back from Anvilmar City, he originally planned to put him into a transportation fleet and let him start as a freight driver. Then promotions will be made based on the situation.
As a result, Alex lasted less than two months. I feel like being a truck driver means driving on the road every day. It was too hard, and I complained that I didn’t want to do it.
In desperation, Xu Yi could only transfer him back to the headquarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and assigned him a sinecure with little work and little influence in the administrative building, where he had to eat and wait to die every day.
Alex is very satisfied with this job, because it is extremely leisurely and requires very little work from him every day. The salary is not low, and apart from the lack of actual power, there is simply nothing bad to say about it.
Heinze also knew Alex's character very well and agreed with Xu Yi's arrangement.
If nothing else went wrong, Alex might have been stuck in this position forever, and Xu Yiping would never think of this person at all.
But today Heinze officially announced his retirement. While Xu Yi was feeling emotional, he suddenly thought of Alex.
Although Heinze was very dissatisfied with his nephew's character and other aspects, this was after all his nephew who was entrusted to him by his sister, and he had always regarded Alex as his own. It's considered pampering.
Every time he talked about Alex with Xu Yi before, Heinze would blame himself very much. He said that he did not educate his nephew well, so that he could not really stand out.
Xu Yi was unmoved by Heinze's feelings before, but today he was touched by Heinze's departure and felt that he should help Alex again and give him a chance, which could be regarded as comforting Heinze's retirement.
"Alex, are you satisfied with your current job?" Thinking of this, Xu Yi asked.
Alex rolled his eyes and nodded vigorously: "Very satisfied, very satisfied! President, your current job is really great!"
"Do you really think so?" Xu Yi grinned. "I originally said that your performance during this period has been quite good, and I planned to change you to a more promising job. But since you feel very satisfied with your current job, it seems that there is no need to change."
"Ah?" Alex was startled, then his eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and smiled sheepishly: "Well... Mr. President, although I am very satisfied with my current job, but... Well, you see , I would be very happy if I could find a job with more prospects. Can you tell me what this job is about?"
Xu Yi smiled, took out a document from the table and threw it over.
"See for yourself."
Alex took the file and opened it eagerly. After just one glance, his eyes widened. As he continued to read, his expression became more and more excited.
After reading it once, Alex couldn't help but read it again from the beginning, and then asked Xu Yi with a look of disbelief: "Will... Mr. President, you... do you really want to send me to do this job?" Director of the office? This is Wimbledon City! It’s the capital of the Candela Empire! Do you really trust me to go there?”
"If I say I'm not worried, would you believe me?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
The smile on Alex's face immediately froze, and then he managed to laugh twice.
"This... Haha, Mr. President, it's normal for you to worry about me... After all, I..."
"Okay." Xu Yi waved his hand and interrupted him. "I have decided. I will let you be the director because you are one of the few experienced talents in this area in our Chamber of Commerce. It is not a good thing to keep you here doing nothing all day long. Of course, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this is all for your uncle's sake, otherwise I can find someone else, understand?"
"Understood! Of course I understand!" Alex nodded repeatedly. "President, I promise you that this time I will do my best to work and run this office in Wimbledon to the best! I want everyone in the entire Candela Empire to be familiar with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. !”
"Okay, it's a good thing to have courage." Xu Yi nodded in approval. "Go down and think about the initial arrangements. If nothing else happens, preparations for this office will officially begin after the New Year. You only have half a month left to consider the preparations."
"Okay!" Alex nodded vigorously and looked at Xu Yi helplessly for a while. Seeing that he really had no instructions to continue, he bowed respectfully to Xu Yi and withdrew.
After Alex left, Twisty suddenly said: "President, didn't Alex have a record of betraying the Chamber of Commerce before? Why do you still give him such an important position? Don't you Are you worried that he will make the same mistake again?”
"Remember, Twisty. We humans are not like you elves who will completely deny someone based on the wrong things they have done. Instead, we will give him a chance to correct it. Although Alex did make mistakes before. It was a serious mistake. But I am still willing to give him a chance. In addition, I must admit that Alex is very capable in this area. As long as he works hard, I think it will be quite fruitful."
Twisty was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Actually, you are mainly because of Vice President Heinze, right?"
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly: "What? Can you see these things now?"
"Our elves have very strong learning ability. It's not surprising to see this." Twisti shook his head. "But President, I still object to your decision. This Alex... makes me feel very bad."
Xu Yi shrugged: "What would you think if I told you that the importance I attach to the internal market of the Candela Empire and the importance I attach to the Maro Empire are completely different concepts?"
Twisty looked confused: "I... I don't know..."
"Okay, you will understand the difference later. It's almost time. Let's go to the conference room. They must be waiting."
When Xu Yi and Twisty walked into the largest conference room in the administrative building of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there was a lively discussion inside.
From CEO Kennard sitting in the front to the middle-level executives of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce in the back row, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles from the bottom of their hearts. The conference room was filled with joy and joy, making it extremely lively. .
Seeing Xu Yi walking in, everyone immediately stopped their discussion. They all stood up and stared at Xu Yi. The eyes of many people showed unabashed respect and even reverence.
Xu Yi enjoyed the attention of everyone with peace of mind, went to the president's seat at the top of the conference room, and sat down.
"Everyone, sit down." Xu Yi waved to everyone to sit down, then turned to look at Kennard beside him, and said with a smile: "Okay, Kennard, let's start this year's year-end summary meeting."
Kennard didn't sit down at all. He glanced at a year-end report document in his hand, then threw it on the table. He raised his head and looked around, and said loudly: "First of all, let me tell you some good news. Our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will have a year-end report this year." The annual profit has once again achieved substantial growth as in previous years! Although there is no accurate data yet, it is certain that it has exceeded 50 million gold coins!”
"Wow-"
After a moment of silence in the conference room, thunderous applause erupted immediately.
Although Kennard had previously revealed to them the information that the Chamber of Commerce's annual profits had increased again, no one expected that it would suddenly increase to as much as 50 million gold coins.
You know, last year the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's annual profit was just over 30 million gold coins, but this year it actually increased by nearly 20 million gold coins!
This increase is so amazing that it is almost unbelievable.
The development of a chamber of commerce will always follow general rules. It may develop rapidly in the early stage, starting from scratch, and the growth rate may seem exaggerated.
But if it develops to a certain extent, this growth will gradually stabilize.
In the past few years, the annual profit of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has increased by millions of gold coins every year, until it exceeded 30 million gold coins last year, which is already an extremely astonishing development rate.
But this year, it suddenly increased by nearly 20 million gold coins, which is simply unbelievable.
"What? Is everyone surprised?" Xu Yi looked at the surprised expressions on the faces of the surrounding chamber of commerce officials with a smile, paused, and continued: "Fifty million gold coins have shocked you so much, then if you listen When it comes to my target for the Chamber of Commerce’s annual profits next year, I doubt your jaws will drop.”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Ankato, the head of the Household Magic Machinery Department, swallowed his saliva and asked carefully: "Mr. President, what are your... goals for next year?"
Xu Yi smiled and raised his right index finger: "One hundred million gold coins."
There was a sudden silence in the conference room. (To be continued...)
