Volume 1 Chapter 22 (1/2)

Being a guest

As soon as Xu Yi’s voice fell, an uproar went through everyone.

“Ten gold coins? That much!”

“God! What modification did that kid Orin make? He was actually rewarded ten gold coins at one?

“If I knew this earlier, I would have studied it as well. I’m very confident with Magic Arrays.”

“That’s right, ten gold coins! If I could receive this reward, I could let my mother rest for a while…..”

…...

It had to be known that these students received only two silver coins for each Magic Array they drew. If they wanted to obtain ten gold coins, they needed to draw an entire five hundred Magic Arrays!

To the students whose families couldn’t compare to Orin’s, ten gold coins were a very large amount for them.

Hearing the discussion of the students, Xu Yi looked at the stunned Heinz. Heinz immediately understood and headed to the side. After a while, he came back with a small paper bag in his hand and handed it to Orin.

“Orin, this is your reward. You can count it.”

“No need, chairman. I was just interested in the Magic Array, so I studied it. This reward…..I don’t need it.” Orin shook his head and hands, he didn’t want to accept this reward.

Although he was normally very proud, he knew that he was separated from the other students because of his family background. If he were to take this reward in front of everyone, it could completely divide him from everyone else.

This was not a happy experience.

“Take it. This is the company’s policy, it doesn’t just apply to you.” Xu Yi took the paper bag and put it in Orin’s hands, “Come, count it and see if there are ten gold coins inside.”

Seeing how firm Xu Yi was, Orin could only open the paper bag with an awkward face and take out the gold coins inside to count one by one.

Seeing in the sparkling gold coins in Orin’s hands, the eyes of the other students couldn’t help lighting up.

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile before raising his voice again, “Listen up, what I said just now, that policy doesn’t apply only to Orin alone. If any of you can make a modification that will improve the Magic Fan, you will also receive the same reward!”

“Chairman, what kind of change is good?” A rather tall student raised his hand and asked.

“As long as it is related to the Magic Fan and has a positive effect on the Magic Fan, it will be enough.” Xu Yi said with a serious look, “Of course, that is on the premise it doesn’t affect your work. If you only think about this and delay your work, affecting the production speed, not only will I deduct your pay, I might even directly fire you based on our contract.”

He had no choice but to be the bad guy. If these students become hot headed and only focus on studying modifications, forgetting to do even their most basic work, the gains would not equal the losses.

The students looked at each other and they all looked down as they focused on their work.

Compared to before, they were working even more enthusiastically.

Heinz looked at Orin who had returned to his post to work honestly and asked Xu Yi in a quiet voice, “Ten gold coins? Was it worth it?”

Xu Yi gave a soft laugh, “Of course it is. Heinz, you have to remember, this kind of modifications are very important to the quality of the product. This policy needs to be maintained in the future and it shouldn’t be only limited to changes with the Magic Array. In the future, we should also include the entire production line of the Magic Fans. If anyone can make a change to the structure of the Magic Fan, they will also be rewarded, encouraging them to do this.”

Heinz said in a confused voice, “Didn’t you do all of this yourself? Do you think that the things you’ve researched can’t compare to a bunch of kids who haven’t even grown hair on their bodies yet?”

“No matter how powerful I am, I am still a person. A person’s abilities are limited, but the wisdom of people is infinite. You mustn’t looked down on these students, perhaps the next great Magic Mechanical Engineering Master will be born from among them.”

Heinz looked at the passionately working students and shook his head.

Why couldn’t he see it?

When Heinz wanted to discuss their next steps with Xu Yi, there was a loud call from the doors of the wooden cabin, “Mister Xu Yi.”

The two were both stunned. To address Xu Yi in such an official tone, only that old butler of Viscount Leslie did something like this.

Turning back, who would have suddenly appeared in the entrance of the cabin if it wasn’t for Butler Brunei?

Xu Yi quickly came forward to greet him.

“Butler Brunei, why are you here? Is there something you need?”

Butler Brunei looked over the wooden cabin before taking out a gold laced invitation out of his chest for Xu Yi.

“Mister Xu Yi, I represent my master, Lord Viscount Leslie to sincerely invite you to his manor to be a guest at noon.”

Xu Yi was stunned. He looked at Heinz, but he was also confused.
