Volume 2 Chapter 183 - Complete relocation (1/2)
Evita looked at Xu Yi before shaking her head with a soft sigh.
“I wasn’t interested in this before and I’ve never met a man who moved my heart. After I met him, it was already too late.”
“Late? What do you mean?” Hearing that Evita’s heart had been moved by a man, Xu Yi became curious.
This was because when Still described her friends and classmates to him, Evita’s personality was the one she praised the most. But Evita was also the only one who never showed any interest in men before.
When her classmates talked to each other, they always felt pity.
This was because Evita wasn’t an arrogant and hard to approach girl, rather she was very warm and gentle. She treated people in a friendly manner, making everyone who approached her feel comfortable.
Adding in the fact that although Evita wasn’t as beautiful as Still, she was still a beauty and that she had a unique elegant feel to her, even though the amount of boys chasing her didn’t match Still’s, she wasn’t that far behind.
However, Evita had never shown any interest at all, she chose not to interact with any male students.
Still and Akali had even teased her, saying that she didn’t like men at all, rather she liked women.
Xu Yi, who had heard this from Still was suddenly interested in what kind of man had moved Evita’s heart. Even if he didn’t really like to gossip, his heart exploded with curiosity in this moment.
However, Evita looked at Xu Yi for a while and slowly shook her head. She said in a soft voice, “This is my personal matter. Chairman, you shouldn’t ask about this.”
Xu Yi was surprised, but he quickly reacted. He revealed an awkward smile, “Right, that was my fault. I hope you don’t mind.”
“I won’t mind.” Evita took a breath and her face returned to normal before she continued, “Chairman, even if we standardize Magic Crystals, that only solves the initial problem. If you want to achieve what you described, being able to lay a Magic Power Grid that can transport magic power over hundreds of kilometers away, there are still many other problems to solve. For example, the stations in between that would adjust the magic power transferred, I think it would take a large amount of time to research those.”
“That is certain.” Xu Yi said with a nod, “But the ideal in my heart is very far. I have always been prepared to spend a large amount of time on this, it might not even be accomplished after I die. But as long as we work hard enough and build these foundations, the people behind us will realize these ideals for me. So it doesn’t matter if we spend large amounts of time on this, it’s fine as long as there are results. Evita, remember what I told you earlier. Although this task is important, I hope that you won’t feel too much pressure because you also need to live a normal life, alright?”
Evita revealed a faint smile, “Thank you for your care, I will pay attention.”
“Good. After discussing the research, it’s time we discussed your identity as the chief researcher.” Xu Yi said.
“This is your real goal in finding me this time, right?” Evita asked with a smile.
“What? I’m not welcome?” Xu Yi deliberately glared at her, “You are the chief of the magic research facility, who would I find if not you? Could it be that you think that the salary of fifty gold coins a month is easy to obtain?”
Evita broke out in laughter, “I already said it. Alright, chairman, in order not to waste the fifty gold coins a month salary you give me, please tell me what you need me to do.”
“That’s more like it.” Xu YI gave a snort before saying with a serious look, “After some consideration, the company has decided to completely relocate the magic research facility.”
“Relocate?” Evita was stunned, “Relocate to where?”

“To the Falling Rain Valley.” Xu Yi replied.
“Why?” Evita was even more stunned, “Isn’t it good that the magic research facility is in Banta City, why does it need to relocate to a faraway place like the Falling Rain Valley?”
“It’s because the Falling Rain Valley is the production base of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce. The magic research facility was to develop new products for our company, so it’s easier if it was close to the production base. Moreover, the magic machine development workshop will be moved there soon as well, so as the magic research facility that works with them, you can’t be too far away.” Xu Yi explained.
Evita was a bit curious, “Chairman, why is even the magic machine development workshop being moved? If you want to combine the two, making it easier to combine Magic Array research and practical application, I feel that Sandton Manor is clearly the better choice. The Falling Rain Valley is so far away, if we moved there, it will affect the lives of many researchers.”
“Your idea was my first tentative plan, but now changes have occurred, so it isn’t possible to realize this plan.” Xu Yi said while shaking his head.
“Why?” Evita asked in a curious voice.
“Just like how you’re not willing to tell me which man has moved your heart, it isn’t convenient for me to reveal this reason.” Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
Evita couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Xu Yi, “Chairman, I never thought that you would be so petty.”
Xu Yi laughed, “I am this petty. Anyway, this is the final decision. You can give your opinion as the chief of the magic research facility, but it has no use. You should quickly take the time to tell everyone and have the researchers prepare themselves to move.”
Evita’s expression looked a bit difficult.
“Chairman, most of the researchers are used to living in Banta City. If you have them leave here to go to the Falling Rain Valley that is sixty kilometers away, I’m afraid that they won’t be used to it and many people will oppose this.”
“Tell them that for this relocation, the company will give each researcher compensation and solve their daily necessities in the Falling Rain Valley, so they shouldn’t worry. Other than that, you can tell them some other good news. The company has decided to change their day off from once half a month to once a week, so they have time to come to Banta City. Moreover, the company will contact the Fersen Carriage Company to open up a public transport line to the Falling Rain Valley, so they can come back and forth at any moment.” Xu Yi said.
“If it’s like this, there will be fewer people who oppose.” Evita said with a nod.
“If there are still people who oppose, tell them that it is the decision of the chairman and they can’t oppose.” Xu Yi waved his hand as he said in a domineering voice.
Evita pursed her lips into a smile, “Chairman, I can talk to the other researchers like this, but there’s one that I can’t treat like this.”
“Who is this arrogant?” Xu Yi asked.
“Of course I’m talking about the only top grade researcher, his excellency Great Magician Camilla.”
Seeing Xu Yi’s speechless expression, Evita gave a few secret laughs.
