Volume 2 Chapter 21 - We are impossible (1/2)

Why was it again?

Because a few months ago, after Wella and Rem left the Leo Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City, they came back to Banta City.

But when Xu Yi invited them to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Wella accepted while Rem rejected Xu Yi.

After Xu Yi asked Wella about Rem, he learned that Rem had left Banta City to find another company to work for.

As for what he was doing or what company it was, Rem didn’t even tell Wella.

Xu Yi thought that Rem was intentionally hiding it from Wella like a man who had failed at his enterprise, only coming back to Wella after he had found some success. Who would have thought that he would appear in Banta City again, appearing in front of him with such a clear lost look on his face, looking defeated. Xu Yi couldn’t help saying “again”.

When this was said, Xu Yi realized that this was improper, so he stood up and beckoned to them while saying, “Come, come, come over and sit. Wella, if you and Rem are back now, you shouldn’t have eaten outside, right? Come, sit and eat. Evita made the dishes today, it tastes quite good.”

Wella nodded and pulled Rem’s sleeve, as she took a step forward.

Rem forced out a smile as he looked at Xu Yi, “Xu Yi, why are you here as well?”

“I have some work here, so I might as well scrape some food.” Xu Yi casually replied. Looking at Wella sitting down, he hesitated a bit before he gave up on asking anything and beckoned to Rem to sit down.

Akali and the others looked over Wella and Rem, looking to be filled with curiosity.

Although Wella was several years older than them, she was completely different than them who had just graduated from school. Not only was she stronger than them, she was much more stable and mature, having more experience than them.

Although they hadn’t been together for long, Wella had already received their heartfelt approval and respect.

Moreover, Wella was usually serious and a bit cold, so it made them respect her while also making her feel like she was hard to approach.

But now they found Wella come here with a man who was around the same age as her, so it really surprised them.

Seeing Rem naturally sit down beside Wella, their eyes filled with even more curiosity.

Could it be like Akali had guessed, this Rem really was Wella’s boyfriend?

The atmosphere at the table was a bit strange. Akali and Bella whose hearts burned with the flames of gossip wanted to try asking several times, but they were stopped by Xu Yi’s eyes.

Wella had a calm manner, slowly eating her food. But Rem’s body expression was much more unnatural and he had a frozen expression, roughly eating his food.

After waiting for Wella to finish, Rem put down his bowl and gave Wella a look.

Wella was silent for a bit before saying to Xu Yi, “Chairman, I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time?”

Hearing Wella call “chairman” and her respectful tone, Rem’s expression changed slightly, but it quickly recovered.

Xu Yi had long finished and had been patiently waiting while drinking some tea. Now that Wella had finally spoken, he put down the teacup and stood up, pointing to the back of the living room, “Let’s go back to talk, let’s not disturb their meal.”

Wella and Rem stood up at the same time. While being watched by Akali’s group’s curious gazes, they followed Xu Yi to the small room behind the living room.

The three of them sat down and Xu Yi looked at the silent Wella and Rem before revealing a smile. He broke the silence first and asked Rem, “Rem, I’ve heard Wella say that you’ve found a new company to work for and are still researching magic machines?”

Rem’s expression froze and he looked at Xu Yi with a complicated gaze before saying with a bitter smile, “That’s right, this company also studies magic machines. But during this time, I’ve found that Wella is completely right. If we’re talking about studying magic machines, there is no company that can compare to your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, rather can’t compare to you. I have been studying magic machines at my current company and haven’t made any progress at all.”

“Magic machines are very complex, it isn’t realistic if one wants results in a short period of time.” Xu Yi gave a nod and pointed at Wella before saying, “Our Frestech Chamber of Commerce has these results now because there are researchers working hard at our research facility like Wella.”

“Other than Wella, I can tell that your other researchers are just kids who have just graduated? Are they strong enough?” A look of disdain appeared on Rem’s face, “Since even they can have achievements, there’s no reason that we magicians who are stronger than them can’t.”

Xu Yi couldn’t help knitting his brows. How could Rem be this arrogant?

He clearly hadn’t had any achievements, so how could he look down on Evita and the others who had already made large progress in terms of magic machines? It was already being light saying that he had high eyes and low hands.

Wella looked at Rem and coldly said, “Actually you haven’t had any results even now and those kids who you look down on have had many results with just their hard work. Of the magic machines that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce produces, other than the ones Great Magician Camilla researches, the rest are made by them. What right do you have to look down on them?”

Wella’s unrestrained words caused Rem’s face to turn red and he couldn’t say a single thing.

Seeing that the atmosphere became a bit awkward, Xu Yi said with a smile, “Let’s not talk about this. Rem, did you come back this time to see Wella? Or was it for something else?”

“This…..” Rem hesitated a bit, but he didn’t respond and looked at Wella.

Wella knit her brows before relaxing them. She looked at Xu Yi with a calm face and said, “Chairman, Rem came back this time to work in Banta City. I mean…...he wants to work for our company. It’s best if he can research Magic Arrays with me at our research facility. You…..What do you think?”

If one had to talk about price, Rem was far from being able to compare to Wella.
