Volume 1 Chapter 140 (2/2)

So being able to have this New Years meal with Xu Yi, her beloved master, having fun playing with Xu Yi, it was already the greatest happiness for her.

After the finished dinner, Xu Yi looked at the night sky filled with countless stars and suddenly had an idea. He asked Vivian if she wanted to go for a walk.

Of course Vivian wouldn’t go against his idea, so she put on a coat for Xu Yi who was already drunk. She wanted to clean the table, but Xu Yi waved his hand to stop her.

“Don’t worry that much today, just be relaxed and happy.”

So Vivian smiled as she hugged Xu Yi’s arm and the two left the room, casually strolling through Banta City at night.

Perhaps it was because he was a bit drunk, Xu Yi pointed at some kids running around on the streets as he said to Vivian, when he was young, they definitely would have been running around with firecrackers on New Years Eve. One time, he had set a pile of straw on fire while running around with firecrackers, so he had been beaten because of it.

Looking up at the night sky after a while, he pointed and said to Vivian, in his hometown, there would be a constellation that was easy to recognize in winter called Orion. There were three stars that formed a line in that constellation that was called Orion’s Belt.

After a while, his face became dispirited and even some tears came out. This was his fourth New Years away from his family. He really wanted to see his parents now, he really wanted to know how they were doing.

After a while…...

……

Vivian supported Xu Yi as she silently listened to the words that came out of his mouth that she didn’t recognize, as the doubt in her heart became stronger.

What were fireworks? Were they fun?

Why does master say that the night sky in his hometown had an Orion? Could it be that the night sky in his hometown was different from the night sky in Banta City?

Since the master missed his parents, why didn’t he go back?

…...

Questions kept appearing in Vivian’s head, but she didn’t ask them because she knew that the master just needed to vent right now.

As they chatted and walked along, unknowingly the two had already left Banta City and had walked to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factory to the west of the city.

It was already New Years Eve and the two factories were silent. Other than the light of the Magic Lamp the two bachelors Xu Yi had hired as guards for the magic machine workshop, every other place was pitch black.

Xu Yi didn’t have any ideas of disrupting the guards, he just stood in the empty space in front of the factories. Looking at the small workshops in the dark, his heart filled with emotions.

Although the two workshops were very small, it represented the sprout of the dream in his heart.

Although they were just two sprouts now, as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce developed and the people of the Sines Continent began to pay more attention to the magic industry, these two sprouts would one day become giant trees.

There was a figure in the corner of his eyes that came out of the household magic machine workshop, causing Xu Yi to be surprise. When he wanted to call out, he found that this figure was very familiar. After looking carefully, Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling.

“Hey, Heinz, why aren’t you with sister in law at home today, why did you come here?” Xu Yi greeted that person in a low voice.

That person was surprised and looked over. After seeing that it was Xu Yi and Vivian with the faint light coming out of the workshop, he calmed down.

The figure walked over and it really was Heinz.

He looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice, “I couldn’t calm down, so I came to take a look. Anyway, Xu Yi, why aren’t you and Vivian spending New Years at him, what did you come here for?”

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to take a walk outside and naturally came here.” Xu Yi gave a shrug as he turned to look at the two workshops, “Perhaps it is because this place takes up the most important spot in my heart, so I couldn’t help wanting to come take a look.”

Heinz gave a slight now, “I’m also the same. To be honest, Xu Yi, I was just the owner of the small general store half a year ago, I never would have dreamed that I would become a major shareholder in a large company. There are many times that when I go to sleep, I doubt that everything I’ve experienced is false and it is all an illusion. So I come to the factory very early each day just to see this factory, just to see the two workshops. As long as I can see them, I feel that I’m not in a dream and everything I’ve experienced is real.”

Seeing Heinz being in a rare mood, Xu Yi couldn’t help saying with a smile, “No wonder you look unwilling to leave each day when we’re getting off work, are you afraid that everything will disappear when you leave?”

Heinz gave a slight nod, “Xu Yi, you know that I’m not someone with lofty aspirations. To me, I’m very satisfied with my current life, so I treasure the things I have now. I’m really afraid that these two workshops will disappear one day. If that really happens, I might even die from my broken heart.”

“Relax, that won’t happen.” Xu Yi patted Heinz’s shoulder forcefully and said, “These two workshops might disappear because they are too small, they can’t take the requests of our company. What we need is a large work area like the new workshop. But even if they disappear, there will be more workshops that appear to take their places. You have to believe that as our company develops, the magic industry will be like a raging flame that instantly spreads across the continent, lighting it up in the end. When that time comes, there will be our company’s workshops and factories all over the continent. Heinz, can you see every single workshop then?”

Heinz looked into the dark night, but his eyes could already see what Xu Yi described.

After a while, he muttered, “Xu Yi, can everything you said become reality?”

Xu Yi gave a very confident nod, “Of course, because the magic industry has already sprouted on the continent and it’s very hard to stop its growth. One day, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce will create a giant magic industry empire on the continent!”
