Volume 2 Chapter 13 - Bring out your sincerity (1/2)

Everyone stared at Xu Yi and Still on the stage, with no one making a sound. It was like they were afraid of missing a single word of Xu Yi’s response.

Xu Yi was a bit surprised. He never thought the first question would be about him and Still and it wouldn’t be related to the Magic Rice Cooker at all.

“This…..Although this concerns me and Still’s privacy, since you’ve asked in front of all these people and I’ve agreed to answer all questions, then I’ll answer you.” Xu Yi reached out his left hand and tightly held Still’s right hand before lifting it up and loudly saying, “Yes, I’m very blessed and very lucky to announce to everyone that Still and I are currently dating!”

The crowd fell into an even stronger deathly silence and after a while, the crowd exploded.

“God! It’s actually true!”

“My goddess is actually dating someone else, I…..I don’t believe it!”

“No! This can’t be true! There definitely must be something wrong with my eyes! My ears must have heard wrong! Young miss Still is as noble and elegant as a goddess, how could she date anyone? This must be a lie!”

“Ai, I definitely can’t accept it if it was anyone else, but if it is chairman Xu, I can barely accept it.”

“That’s right, in Banta City and perhaps the entire Lampuri Kingdom, is there any young man more outstanding that chairman Xu? To be the chairman of a large company at such a young age and I’ve heard that he is a powerful magician. Other than not being a noble, he is simply perfect.”

“Che, what is so good about being a noble? Isn’t it good that chairman Xu is a commoner? This means that not all beautiful girls want to get married to nobles. Young miss Stil, I support you marrying chairman Xu!”

“That’s right, I also support you! Marrying chairman Xu is better than marrying the useless young master of some noble family!”

“That’s right, I support young miss Still’s choice! Support chairman Xu!”

…...

Hearing that there were actually people supporting them, with some cries of supporting Still marrying him mixed in, Xu Yi couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward. He looked over at Still and saw that she had a smile that was filled with confidence and pride.

Sensing Xu Yi’s gaze, Still looked at him with a proud look in her eyes.

“How about it? Xu Yi, my eyes are pretty good, right? Look, everyone is supporting us.”

Xu Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Excuse me, this is because I’m good enough. If it was anyone else, do you believe that they wouldn’t be ripped to shreds by an angry crowd?”

The smile on Still’s face became even brighter.

“Although I am very happy that you are outstanding enough that so many people acknowledge you, I like you not because of this. It is because…...I like you for who you are.”

Xu Yi smiled and tightly gripped Still’s hand. He turned to the crowd under the stage and shouted, “Thank you for everyone’s blessings and support for me and Still. But I ask everyone to remember that this is our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s product announcement, so I hope that everyone will ask questions related to our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s new product.”

The reporter that came from the «Saltan Morning News» that didn’t have time to speak looked at each other. After nodding, a reporter that was quite old raised his hand and asked, “Then chairman Xu, I have a question. Recently in the past month, whether it is Banta City, Saltan City, Karma City, or even other cities in the kingdom, there have been many companies that have invented magic machines. What views do you have on that?”

“This reporter is quite professional.” Xu Yi praised in his heart. He said with a faint smile, “I have some understanding of the situation you mentioned. As for my views, I’m very happy and can even be said to be very pleased.”

The crowd under the stage was shocked. The reporter continued asking with a frown, “Chairman Xu, this probably isn’t what you really feel. With more competitors for your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it will affect the sales of your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s products. Why are you happy and pleased about this?”

“The reason why I’m happy and pleased is that because other than our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there are other companies starting to research and produce magic machines. This means that everyone has started putting importance on the magic machines. Once everyone puts importance ion magic machines, this industry will quickly develop and the products of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce will be accepted by everyone, meaning that our company will make even more money. As a chairman, why wouldn’t I be happy about this?” Xu Yi replied with a smile.

“But aren’t you worried that his will affect your sales?” The reporter asked. “After all, there are only that many people and as long as one person buys one magic machine from a company, that will be one less customer for your Frestech Chamber of Commerce.”

“No, no, no, I think your understanding of customers and the market is too shallow.” Xu Yi shook his head without any politeness and said, “Actually, from what I can see, the people who will buy magic machines will increase by several times, also making the magic machine market several times bigger. If the market is compared to a cake, then what I want to do is make the cake bigger and bigger, so people and companies can receive bigger and bigger pieces of this cake. What I don’t want to do is have people fighting over small pieces of a cake and having everyone starve to death. And I believe that this magic machine cake is very big, not only being able to feed our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but also letting the other companies have their fill as well. So for other companies who are beginning to make magic machines, I extend a warm welcome to them.”

“Chairman Xu, I’ve heard that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce has sold production magic machines for the Magic Fan and the Magic Rice Cooker to companies in our Karma City, is this true?” The «Karma Times»’ vice editor in chief Rhine seized this chance to ask this in a loud voice.
