Chapter 171 Agent
Entering April, the people of Banta City suddenly found that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had calmed down.
It wasn’t that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wasn’t calm before, it was just that people were used to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce releasing big news once in a while. It was either announcing a new product or some explosive piece of news, but no matter what, people’s attention would be drawn to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
After entering April, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been silent for a month.
This silence didn’t mean that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t do anything at all.
Rather, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factories were still functioning and Frestech Chamber of Commerce products were leaving the factory, being sold in the various parts of the Lampuri Kingdom.
As for the Banta City renovation plan that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was in charge of, it suddenly moved much faster.
Before there was only one road construction team from the Amrit Chamber of Commerce working outside the city, only constructing one road at once.
But now there were four of them, constructing four different roads at once.
At the same time, the ?Banta Times? had indicated that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu was planning to install street lights in Banta City to light up the night, but since the technology was limited, they needed some time to prepare it. They could only strive to complete it within the year.
Half a month after the report in the ?Banta Times?, many people in Banta City saw workers constructing some lamp posts on the sides of the new city square, as they started installing Magic Lamps on them.
Although some people thought that this was moving too fast, how could they start constructing it already when chairman Xu said that the technology wasn’t ready? But most people supported this action.
The Magic Lamps in the city square had already proved how important it was for the night to be as bright as daytime. If they could install Magic Lamps all around Batna City, it would no longer be as dark when it came to night and it would be as bright as day, making it just as lively as daytime.
However, other than these improvements to the city, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t do anything big in April.
If one had to mention something, it was that the canned fruit factory near Koror Village was related to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But the canned fruit factory only produced canned fruit and they only used normal fruits, so it wasn’t anything that special to people and naturally they wouldn’t pay that much attention to it.
So in short, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce seemed to have suddenly slowed down and didn’t rush forward like they did before.
“They’re saying that I’m already satisfied with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and have lost my ambitions?” Xu Yi looked at the ?Karma Times? in his hand and couldn’t help laughing, “Those fellows really are bold. According to them, I shouldn’t be allowed to rest at all?”
“It isn’t that you can’t take a rest, but everyone is already used to you taking out new things once in a while. Now that nothing new has appeared in such a long time, I think that everyone isn’t used to it.” After Still replied, she turned around in front of Xu Yi and asked, “How about it? Does it look good?”
Xu Yi stuck up his thumb and said without holding back, “It’s very good!”
Still revealed a faint smile as she looked down at the special milky white dress the top designers of the Armani Chamber of Commerce had made. She slightly knit her brows as if she wasn’t satisfied with something.
“Although this dress isn’t bad, why do I feel like this doesn’t look as good on me as it does on Marta?”
“How could that be possible?” Xu Yi immediately refuted, “Marta’s figure isn’t bad, but she is an elf in the end. She has a noble and aloof feel, she can’t compare to your sunny vigor at all. You make people happy with just a single look, alright? This dress does look good on her, but it is far from being able to compare to you!”
“Is that so?” Still gave a wink to Xu Yi with a smile, “You just have a sweet mouth, but if Marta were to hear this, she would definitely be hurt.”
“Che, what would they be hurt over. Even if they were here, I would still say the same. I’m praising my wife, would they dare say anything? Then again, you are their agent right now, so they wouldn’t have any opinions towards you, isn’t that right?” Xu Yi said with a smile.
“Hey, I’ll only be your wife in another three days, don’t say random things.” Still reprimanded with a smile. She thought about it before shaking her head with a bitter smile, “After being their agent for a while, I finally realize why you had me do this. Those elves really are…..un, it isn’t dumb, but they don’t understand our human customs. If they were to negotiate with an old fox like chairman Vincent, they might be sold by him and even count the money for him.”
Xu Yi laughed, “Chairman Vincent wouldn’t do that, but now that they are big stars, there will be more people trying to reach out to them. If there isn’t an agent helping them, something like this might really happen. I never asked you this, but Still, are you happy with your current work? If you don’t like it, I can have you do something else. For example, the Frestech Academy is about to be finished and it’s still missing a principal and many teachers, so you can be either.”
“Forget about that, I’m very happy being their agent. These elves are very pure and it’s quite simple being with them, also it’s very fun. Being able to help them and letting them integrate into human life, I feel has a very great sense of achievement.” Still said.
“It’s good that you’re happy.” Xu Yi gave a nod with a faint smile.
Last time Still told him she had nothing to do and was feeling bored, even feeling a bit useless. Xu Yi had carefully thought about it and suddenly had the idea of Still becoming the agent of the five elves working for the Armani Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Night Song Tribe elves had appeared in Banta City many times, the only humans that can go to the Night Song Tribe in the Falling Rain Forest were Xu Yi, Still, and Vivian. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
For the Night Song Tribe, only those three people could be truly trusted.
Xu Yi was very busy with many things and there was no need to mention Vivian who was still in school, so only Still was very suited for doing this work.
The so-called “agent”, it was just like the agent of the big stars on earth. It was to help the elves negotiate with the Armani Chamber of Commerce, getting them the best treatment and better integrate with their work, making it safer and more convenient to make contact with humans.
Before those five elves were cautious towards humans, so their work at the Armani Chamber of Commerce wasn’t going well.
But after Still became their agent, with Still’s experience of being a star before and adding in the fact she had the trust of the elves, she took care of this quite easily. Not only did the elves’ work become much smoother, they became much more relaxed and were more relaxed when it came to talking to humans.
“Basically there is no problem between them working with the Armani Chamber of Commerce, so I’m very free right now. I don’t have much work to do.” Still said, “But I’m very happy that I could become friends with Marta through this work.”
“If you are satisfied with this line of work, then have you considered expanding?” Xu Yi asked.
“Expanding? How?” Still asked back in a surprised voice.
“It’s that…..if nothing unexpected happens, there will be more elves, dwarves, and even beastmen who will work for human companies. Do you want to be their agent and help them with various things?”
Still suddenly knit her brows, “It’s fine with the dwarves, but do you really want me to be with those barbaric beastmen all day?”
“It isn’t that every beastmen is barbaric. Although there are many barbaric and fierce beastmen clans on the Black Rice Wasteland, there are also many beautiful beastmen who aren’t barbaric. For example, when chairman Vincent went to the Black Rice Wasteland, he went to several fox and rabbit tribes, where the beastmen look similar to humans. Moreover, they are quite beautiful. Chairman Vincent told me that he was planning on recruiting some fox tribe and rabbit tribe girls to be models for the Armani Chamber of Commerce.”
“Fox tribe? Rabbit tribe?” Still thought about it, but she couldn’t put the words beautiful and pretty with the beastmen, “Alright, even like this, I don’t want to do it all alone.”
“It’s very simple, you can just create a talent age…..Oh, a talent company. The business of the company will be being agents for other races, helping them with the process of working for human companies. You can’t do it alone, so you can find a few helpers. For example, if you’re not willing to work with the barbaric looking wolf tribe or the bull tribe, you can just find someone who is willing to do this work.”
“This idea isn’t bad……” Still honestly thought about it before saying, “Marta and the others said that they were very happy working for the Armani Chamber of Commerce, it is much more enriching than a normal day in the Night Song Tribe. She even said that she wasn’t willing to return to the Night Song Tribe. Based on them, there should be other races that are willing to work for human companies, living together with humans. Un…..there should be promise in this work, but you should let me consider whether I want to keep going first……”
Seeing Still deep in thought, Xu Yi revealed a smile as he took her waist and placed a kiss on her cheek.
“You can consider whether you want to do it or not in the future. As for right now, you should prioritize marrying me in the most beautiful form as possible.”
Still rolled her eyes at Xu Yi, “Could it be that I’m not beautiful now?”
Xu Yi immediately broke out in laughter, “Beautiful! Definitely beautiful! My Xu Yi’s wife is the most beautiful at any time!”
Still revealed a happy smile as she reached out her arms and gave Xu Yi a strong kiss.
Chapter 172 Marriage
If it was said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was calm in April, so calm that it made others unsettled, when May came, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce released a piece of shocking news that brought everyone’s attention back to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
The shocking news was that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu Yi was finally getting married to young miss Still!
The instant the ?Banta Times? released this piece of shocking news, Banta City immediately exploded.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce was the company that everyone paid attention to in Banta City. Xu Yi who was the chairman was young, handsome, rich, and also had a baron title that the king personally awarded.
For an outstanding young man like this, he would have already become the dream lover of all the young girls in Banta City and the surrounding cities.
Even after Xu Yi and Still began dating, there were countless girls who had boldly confessed to Xu Yi. There were even countless noble young ladies who attended the same banquet as Xu Yi, showing off their affection for him.
But now that his wedding had been announced, it instantly broke the hearts of countless young girls who admired him.
Compared to the influence that Xu Yi had, not only was Still not inferior, rather her influence was much stronger.
As the recognized “Banta Goddess” of Banta City and the surrounding cities, even if Still hadn’t appeared in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s advertisement in a while, she was still the goddess of many men’s hearts.
When Still announced that she was dating Xu Yi, it broke the hearts of countless men. After her engagement to Xu Yi was announced, it was like their hearts had been cut with a knife.
Now that Still was announcing that she was getting married to Xu Yi, it shattered the hearts of countless men who secretly admired her.
In the enbd, when the news of their wedding was announced, countless people in Banta City and the surrounding cities began weeping, creating a river of tears.
But rather than being sad, more people chose to congratulate them.
To most people, Xu Yi and Still were a perfect match.
A girl who could match Xu Yi was rare and a man who could match Still was even rarer.
The two’s union received everyone’s blessing, it even included everyone’s hope and desire towards love.
If those two broke up, perhaps there would be more people who would be sad.
Now that those two had gone from dating to being engaged, from being engaged to getting married, without any bad news during this time and always showing off the image of a sweet couple, it satisfied the hopes in everyone’s hearts.
The ?Banta Times? had appraised their wedding with one phrase, it was that if those two never married, it would be a betrayal of love and even god wouldn’t let them go!
The wedding was set for the third of May.
According to Xu Yi’s thoughts, he wanted it to be the seventh of June because that was the first day he met Still, so it was memorable.
But Still’s birthday was on the sixteenth of May, so after that day, Still would be twenty two.
According to a tradition of the Sines Continent that Xu Yi felt was weird, if girls married after the age of twenty two, they might not have a happy marriage. So girls on the Sines Continent either chose to marry before turning twenty two or after turning twenty three.
But Xu Yi, Still, and Great Magician Camilla wasn’t willing to wait another year for them to be married, so they chose to get married before the sixteenth and set it for the third of May.
According to the legends of the Sines Continent, the third of May was the birthday of one of the Six Great Gods, the New Moon Goddess Irene Shuka.
Getting married on this day would mean receiving the blessing of the goddess, giving them a blessed marriage.
So not only for Xu Yi and Still, on the day of the third of May, there were many couples that chose to get married on this day.
Of course, it was impossible for another couple’s wedding to be as famous as Xu Yi and Still’s.
On the third of May, the greatest wedding in the history of Banta City was being held in a manor in the northwest suburbs.
This manor was the engagement gift Chairman Cruise had given them. The two of them had been fixing it up after getting engaged and it was just finished half a month ago, so they would be moving in for the first time after their wedding.
There was no need to mention how grand this wedding was, just the people who came to the wedding was enough to dazzle everyone.
First, the host of the wedding was the Banta City City Lord, Count Sean Samo!
A Lord Count who was a City Lord was actually the host of a wedding, this was simply an incredible matter.
However, the Lord City Lord had done this and he seemed quite happy to do it.
Next, the representative of the bride’s side was his excellency, Great Magician Camilla.
As a Great Magician, his status was not below Count Sean’s.
Comparatively, although Still’s parents sitting on both sides of Great Magician Camilla were high grade magicians, they were much more inferior.
Other than the two most important people in Banta City, all the nobles in Banta City had come to attend the wedding, bringing gifts and their blessings.
Even Baron Belil Stagg that disagreed with Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce the most had attended the wedding. He didn’t seem reluctant when he gave his blessings and his smile was very sincere.
Other than the nobles, all the leaders of Banta City’s companies came.
Not only did the Sarank Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Rank, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Cruise, the Armani Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Vincent, and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Morgan come, even the chairman of all the small and large companies had attended the wedding without a single one missing.
For companies with all kinds of competitive relationships between them, to make all the chairmen gather together like this, it seemed like something impossible to do.
However, everyone had gathered together at Xu Yi’s wedding and everyone gave their sincere blessings to Xu Yi.
Just based on this, it was enough to see Xu Yi’s current position in Banta City’s business world.
If one thought about it seriously, they would find that it wasn’t strange at all.
Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had played an important role in creating the current prosperity Banta City currently enjoyed.
Whether it was directly or indirectly, almost all the companies in the city had benefited from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
There was no need to mention the component companies, they only appeared because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s small company support plan.
These small companies had incomes of several thousand gold coins a month. Before this, they were just normal people in Banta City who couldn’t even earn a hundred gold coins a year.
In the hearts of these people, naturally they were grateful towards Xu Yi.
Other than these people, the people most grateful towards Xu Yi were the normal peasants in the villages outside Banta City.
Since the appearance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, first it was inventing agricultural magic machines, increasing the efficiency of farming in Banta City. Now in just two years, everyone no longer had to suffer the pain of being unable to eat their fill.
After that, because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had drove the development of Banta City, every peasant could find suitable work and their income was much higher than before.
Right now the citizens of Banta City not only had enough to eat, they even had extra gold coins to increase their standards of living.
All of this came from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
So at this wedding, other than nobles and merchants, there were peasants who came from outside the city to congratulate them.
This was also a scene that was hard to see.
A wedding for a great merchant like Xu Yi, normally the guests should only be nobles in the same position and other merchants. It really was strange to see normal peasants who didn’t match Xu Yi’s status at all coming here.
But Xu Yi had welcomed all the guests who came, inviting them all in.
So perhaps this was Banta City’s most grand wedding in history, it was definitely the only wedding in history that welcomed all guests in the history of Banta City.
Although compared to weddings in China on earth, the Sines Continent’s wedding traditions were more simple, with Xu Yi’s status, this wedding had to follow every single step.
First they were blessed by the priest they had specially invited from Anvilmar City, Xu Yi and Still had to make their vows to god. Then because Xu Yi was a noble, he had to swear to Count Sean who was the highest ranking noble here that he would protect Still forever. After that, because they were magicians, with Great Magician Camilla’s status as a Great Magician, they also had to make a magic vow.
After all these vows were made, they received all kinds of blessings.
This was a process that was only finished after an hour.
According to customs, as long as a guest came to the wedding, they were qualified to bless the couple.
There really were too many guests that came this time. From Great Magician Camilla and Count Sean down to the peasants from outside the city, even if one representative was sent from each group, there were still several hundred people who blessed Xu Yi and Still.
After the wedding, naturally it was the intimate moment that the couple showed to everyone.
If it was a normal girl, they would lower their head and look shy.
But Still looked up at Xu Yi and went forward to give him a kiss.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and reached out to hold Still. His head came down and their lips came together.
“Hong!”
A cheer that was like thunder sounded through the manor.
In front of everyone, the youths considered the best couple by everyone were finally married, fulfilling a wish that everyone had.
