Volume 2 Chapter 81 - Xu Yi???s work (1/2)

Xu Yi brought Kennard on his first job. It wasn’t researching Magic Arrays, going to the magic machine workshop to conduct research, nor was it going to work at the factory, rather he brought him to a large piece of farmland outside the city.

Right now it was the fall harvest and Banta City wasn’t an exception, as the fall harvest began just like last year.

But it wasn’t like last year where everyone had to come out to work on the farmland. Because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s agricultural magic machines had become popular and with the farmer support plan, many normal farmers had agricultural magic machines. So the fall harvest was mainly left to the agricultural magic machines to finish and it didn’t take that much manpower. It didn’t delay the city renovation plan and the efficiency was much higher than before.

Xu Yi brought Kennard to a baron’s territory to the north of the city. When the two of them arrived, there were several dozen small Magic Harvesters quickly moving across the farmland in the territory.

In just the blink of an eye, a large patch of the dense wheat in the field had been cut down and there were many bags of packed wheat on the side.

“Hey, Baron Nazr, it seems like you’ll be able to finish the harvest by today?” Xu Yi came to a middle aged man of around forty by the side of the field and greeted him.

Baron Nazr turned to look at Xu Yi and the smile on his face became even brighter. He said with a nod, “That’s right, it seems like it won’t be a problem to finish the harvest today. Luckily we had the help of the agricultural magic machines from chairman Xu’s company. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to finish even if I had several hundred more people.”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and accepted Baron Nazr’s praise without any politeness. He looked at the Magic Harvesters moving through the field and asked, “Are there any problems with the machines?”

“No problems at all.” Baron Nazr shook his head, “Then again, even if there are small problems, with chairman Cantona and his helpers here, they can solve it themselves.” After pausing, Baron Nazr asked in a surprised voice, “Chairman Xu, why did you suddenly come here? And these two are…..”

Baron Nazr’s eyes fell onto Kennard and Sophia who were looking over the fields and Xu Yi explained, “These two are friends of Baron Hannas and they came here together with him from Anvilmar City to play. I came this time because I have something to discuss with chairman Cantona.”

“Is it related to him bringing people to other cities to help with their harvests?”

“Un, he is bringing all those agricultural magic machines away from the city, so there are many things to pay attention to that I have to remind him of.”

Baron Nazr couldn’t help saying, “You can just send someone else to contact him about this, there’s no need for you to personally come.”

“There are quite a few things to take note of, so they might not be able to explain everything.” Xu Yi shook his head.

“There’s no need for you to come here. You can just contact him and have him come find you. You are the chairman of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there’s no need for you to personally handle this small matter.” Baron Nazr didn’t seem to approve of Xu Yi’s actions.

Xu Yi gave a shrug and said with a faint smile, “The customers are gods. Since chairman Cantona purchased products from our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, then our company has to provide service to him. No one is an exception to this, even the chairman like me.”

“Alright, chairman Xu, I have also bought many products from your company and I am also your customer, so am I also a god? Speaking of this, can I call you to my house for a service call at any time?” Baron Nazr said with a smile.

Of course Xu Yi knew that Baron Nazr was joking, so he replied with a faint smile, “It’s a real pity Baron Nazr, our company divides post sale service based on scale. There are few things that require the chairman like me to personally head out, so I’m afraid you won’t have that chance.”

Baron Nazr laughed before pointing at a field in front and saying, “Alright, go and find chairman Cantona. He’s over there.”

Xu Yi nodded before turning back to Kennard and asking, “Do you want to listen to my conversation with chairman Cantona?”

Kennard shook his head, “The matter you’re discussing will involve secrets of your company, so I won’t come with you.”

“There’s no secrets, but it’s fine if you don’t come. The field is rather dirty and while it’s fine for the two of us, young miss Sophia might not want to go.” Xu Yi nodded before heading off in the direction Baron Nazr pointed out.

After Xu Yi left, there were only Baron Nazr, Kennard, and Sophia standing by the field.

Baron Nazr looked over the two of them curiously.

Xu Yi said that these two people were Baron Hannas’ friends, but Baron Hannas wasn’t here, so why were the two of them following Xu Yi?”

Noticing Baron Nazr looking at them, Kennard looked away from the Magic Harvesters moving in the field and nodded to Baron Nazr with a faint smile. He gave a simple introduction before pointing to Xu Yi talking to a person that looked like a farmer and asked, “Lord Baron, does chairman Xu normally personally handle these matters?”

Baron Nazr shook his head, “You heard what he said just now, there aren’t many things that he personally needs to handle. There are too many things the Frestech Chamber of Commerce needs to do now, if he were to personally handle each matter, even ten of him wouldn’t be enough to keep up.”

Kennard nodded before asking, “Then can you tell me, what does this chairman Cantona do? Why does chairman Xu have to personally come and meet him for this matter?”

Baron Nazr looked at Kennard in surprise, not understanding why he was interested in this matter. But thinking about it, he still answered.
