Volume 3 Chapter 72 - The matter of successor (1/2)

Volume 3 “Thank you, elder Illusia.” Xu Yi sincerely expressed his gratitude to elder Illusia, “If it wasn’t for you, I might have started fighting with Still.”

Elder Illusia shook her head with a faint smile, “No, chairman Xu, you were already calm, right? I believe that with your love towards young miss Still, you wouldn’t have really argued with her.”

Xu Yi looked back into the room and saw Vivian who had received the news and Agnes whispering with Still, laughing from time to time. He shook his head and said with a sigh, “Right, how could I be willing to fight with her? But I’m really worried that she won’t pay attention to her body. If something really happens, it’ll be too late to regret it.”

“I said just now, a pregnant mother’s body is stronger than you think, you don’t need to worry.” Elder Illusia looked back into the room and said in an emotional voice, “Chairman Xu, I’ve lived in this world for a long time and actually understand many things about you humans. To me, a man who cares about his wife this much is very rare.”

“If you can’t treat your wife well, that man is a failure.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “Not to mention that Still is such an outstanding wife.”

“I agree, young miss Still is very outstanding. Since I first saw her, I was moved by her innocence that wasn’t weaker than us elves.” Elder Illusia looked back at Xu Yi and said with a smile, “But…..chairman Xu, it would be good if you could be this gentle to others.”

Xu Yi was surprised before he revealed a smile, “What? Did Amelud complain to you about me?”

“It’s not as exaggerated as complaining.” Elder Illusia shook her head with a faint smile, “He just told me that you criticized him a few days ago and he was grateful to you. Because of your criticism, he began confronting the problems of the factory and he invited vice chairman Heinz to help him to teach him how to manage the factory better. Now the factory is much more efficient compared to before and he and the clansmen are much more relaxed.”

“That’s good.” Xu Yi nodded, “My goal was to see him increase efficiency, so he and the clansmen won’t stay in the factory all day. That way they have more time to do other things and they won’t let down your hopes in them.”

Elder Illusia took a deep look at Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, I’m very grateful for your concern towards me and my clansmen. Being able to have a noble human as you as a partner, I am very happy.”

“This isn’t anything, this is what I just promised you, so of course I would fulfill it.” Xu Yi waved his hand with a smile.

“There aren’t many humans like you with such virtue, otherwise we elves wouldn’t be this careful towards humans and be worried about being lied to by humans.” Elder Illusia said with a sigh.

“Actually there are many humans who lie and hurt each other, but there are also many cases of human friendships.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “The difference is that we humans know how to distinguish people, knowing that being hurt and lied to is just one person and not related to the whole human race. So elder Illusia, I support your idea of letting elves come in contact with humans. As long as there are more exchanges, you will understand better and avoid being lied to as much as possible.”

“I understand, but there is a problem now.” Elder Illusia said.

“What problem?”

“Although our Night Song Tribe has worked with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for close to two years, we don’t have many chances to come in contact with humans. So there are many people who don’t understand us elves and we haven’t really been integrated into human society, being accepted by humans.”

“You mean…..you want to find another method to let the elves have more contact with humans?” Xu Yi asked.

“Yes.” Elder Illusia nodded, “Chairman Xu, Agnes told me that young miss Still’s New Moon Chamber of Commerce recruited some young beastmen girls into a performance troupe to demonstrate the other side of beastmen to humans, changing their image of beastmen. Then do you think that there is a similar way to demonstrate another side of us elves to humans?”

“It would be good if there were televisions in this world…..” Xu Yi muttered to himself. After thinking about it, he said, “Elder Illusia, I think that you won’t accept performing in front of the humans, right?”

“I indeed am not willing.” Elder Illusia gave a nod, “My clansmen wouldn’t accept doing this, so chairman Xu, can you think of another way for us? I know that you have a very clever mind, so you should be able to think of a way.”

“You really are overestimating me.” Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh, but he began thinking more seriously.

Elder Illusia made this request to him, which meant that she trusted him very much.

Otherwise, something that would change how humans saw elves and would decide the future development of the elves was something that she would not discuss with him.

Moreover, this meant that elder Illusia was planning to take another step forward into human society, which was something that Xu Yi was very happy to see.

Xu Yi’s mind thought of the various advertising methods from earth, but he found that there were few that suited the elves. If they wanted to achieve something that was long term and stable, it was even harder.

Xu Yi kept walking back and forth in thought out of habit. After walking around a few times, he looked at Still in the room and suddenly had an idea, turning back to elder Illusia with a smile.

“I have an idea.”
