Volume 3 Chapter 150 - Name in history (1/2)

It was already less than half a month from the new year. Even if the people of Banta City were focused during work because of the high wages, many people were preparing for new years during this time and had stopped their work.

Akali announced that her two research teams would be on vacation two days ago, so they had been busy preparing everything for when they were gone after two days and preparing the year end report.

Xu Yi attached great importance to work in the magic research facility, not only did he read their research reports, he needed each research team to hand in a year end report. He also appraised their development progress for next year and confirmed their next year’s research direction.

Akali hated this kind of reporting work the most back when she was in school.

But now that she was the leader of two teams, she had to do this herself and the others weren’t qualified.

Then again, Akali was very willing to show off in front of Xu Yi, so although writing this report was very tedious, she still completed it very seriously each year.

After writing the last word, stretched herself out.

After finishing the report, it meant that this year’s work was over.

Now it was time for their new years vacation and she could properly rest up.

Seeing the cold weather outside, Akali wondered whether it would snow today.

Thinking of snow, she thought of her hometown in the north. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be covered in snow now.

Thinking of how, Akali couldn’t help feeling a bit homesick.

Although she was very happy working at the magic research facility and her wages were high, because it was far from her hometown, she could only go back to celebrate new years.

Now that she hadn’t seen her family for a year, Akali missed them very much.

“I’ll go pack up after finishing up, then I can just go home tomorrow.”

Akali always did what she said. After tidying up in the lab, she headed to the chief’s room with her report.

Each team’s annual report was submitted to Evita and she gave them to Xu Yi, Akali wasn’t an exception.

She came to the chief’s office, but the door was shut.

She came to Evita’s lab and although the door wasn’t closed, she couldn’t see Evita inside.

Akali looked around before turning to leave the magic research facility.

Evita was not in the office or her lab, so she should be at that place.

When she came out of the magic research facility, Akali found that the Falling Rain Valley was much calmer compared to normal as most of the workers were on vacation.

Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had plenty of orders, Xu Yi had announced at the meeting that no matter how heavy the work was, they couldn’t delay their new years vacation. So before Xu Yi left, he had announced that all the company’s factories would shut down for vacation.

Although many companies in Banta City were dissatisfied that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would make this decision for so many orders, since Xu Yi had made a decision, the other companies couldn’t do a thing.

After all, other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there were no other companies that could provide them with magic machines.

Akali supported Xu Yi in this decision, even praising Xu Yi in secret, but getting a bitter smile in return from Xu Yi.

“It is our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s monopoly, so we can act arrogant, but we can’t ignore the feelings of the customers. But this approach isn’t good. I’m glad to see that there’s strong enough competition in the business that our company has to accept every order, but you have to consider the consequences if you take a vacation.”

Akali didn’t understand what Xu Yi was worried about, she only knew that according to Xu Yi, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t have to care about others when taking vacations for the next few years.

As a third grade researcher of the magic research facility and leading two research teams, Akali knew better than others just how terrifying of an advantage the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had in terms of technology.

At least the things that Evita was studying, other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there wasn’t a single company or a single other person studying it.

Even for the magic research facility, it was something that Evita and several dwarves were studying, even Akali didn’t participate.
