Chapter 62 Internship
Even for an ordinary family, for those extremely meager family properties, it is the best policy to determine the heirs in advance.
For the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has developed into a super-class chamber of commerce on the Sainz continent, with billions of gold coins in assets and annual profits of hundreds of millions of gold coins, it is important to determine the leader, but equally important to determine the successor.
So even though Xu Yi is only in his early forties now, and if there are no accidents, he can live for at least several decades, but within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the topic of his heir has long been brought up.
If it is on earth, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, then his successor should be cultivated from within, and the final decision should be made according to ability.
But this is the continent of Sainz, and it is still a society in the semi-feudal and semi-slavery system, so in the eyes of others, the ones who can inherit Xu Yi's position should of course be his children.
And because there is no obvious patriarchal custom on Sainz Continent like on Earth, and Xu Yi had already determined Freya as the heir to his family property when Freya was just born, so in all From a human point of view, Freya should be the best candidate to inherit the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, although Xu Yi identified Freya as the heir of his family property from the beginning, he never confirmed her as the heir of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because Xu Yi has always felt that his family property can be regarded as a completely personal thing, and it doesn't matter who he wants to inherit it.
But Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is different.
The scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now so large, and the matters involved are not only the matters of Xu Yi's family, but are related to tens of thousands, or even important matters in countless countries.
Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so important, its leader must of course be someone who has enough ability to lead the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to continue to move in the right direction.
It is true that Freya has the qualifications to inherit, but Xu Yike has never been sure whether she has this ability.
Besides, Xu Yi never hoped that his children would choose what to do in the future according to his wishes. He always respected that his children had their own choices.
So although he spared no effort in the education of Freya. But the education was always based on Freya's preferences, and she was not forced to learn business management and other things that must be learned as a leader of a chamber of commerce.
Steele once raised some objections to Xu Yi's approach, but Xu Yi was unmoved and still let Freya act according to her own preferences. There was nothing she could do.
Under such an educational philosophy, Freya, like many children, has a strong interest in many things since she was a child, and then conducts study and research. But the only thing that has really persisted so far is magic.
Of course, Freya's magical talent is extremely high, coupled with Xu Yi's current professor of new magic data analysis, making Freya's ability to learn magic far exceeds that of almost all magicians before, so much so that she now He is only fourteen years old, but he already has the ability of a sixth-level magician, which is extremely amazing.
However, except for magic, Freya's interest in everything did not last for a short time, so she suddenly declared to Xu Yi this time that she would also be the president when she grew up. Xu Yi didn't care too much, thinking that she should just have a whim after seeing Steele.
However, it turned out that Xu Yi misjudged Freya's determination this time.
After making the declaration "I want to be the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce", Freya devoted herself to various courses related to the management of the Chamber of Commerce that she disliked very much before, even though she was faced with a large number of incomparably The boring data also appeared to be in high spirits, without any signs of impatience.
This state lasted for more than three months, but she didn't see any slack or giving up thoughts, so Xu Yi finally determined that she was probably serious this time.
Now that Freya became serious, Xu Yi put away his thoughts of watching the fun and began to think about her seriously.
After three months of initial theoretical study. Xu Yi gave Freya a goal to have a detailed understanding of the framework of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before she became an adult, so she had to personally experience the various jobs under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before entering the city.
In other words, since she wanted to be the president of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Then you need to know enough about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so...she needs a lot of practice.
After Freya thought about it, the first internship department she chose was actually the production workshop under the name of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, and she went to be an ordinary assembler!
"Freya, do you...really decide to go?" Steele looked at Freya who had changed into an ordinary worker's uniform in front of him. His face was full of worry. "Even if you want to do an internship, you don't need to be a worker, right? If you want me to say, you should first go to the Magic Academy for an internship for a while. Anyway, your magic level is now enough to reach the Magic Academy Besides, technical issues in magic research are the core of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is the most appropriate place for you to go there. Are you right, Xu Yi?"
Seeing Steele's eyes asking for help, Xu Yi smiled and shook his head slightly.
"We should respect Freya's own choice. But..." Xu Yi looked at Freya with a serious expression on his face. "Freya, let me remind you again that you are going for an internship this time, not for fun. The work of front-line workers is far more difficult than you imagined. If you are not mentally prepared, you will definitely suffer a lot .”
Freya smiled and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Dad, I have seen with my own eyes what those workers look like when they work. I admit that the environment is uncomfortable, but I will definitely persevere!"
"Okay. Then let me remind you again, don't expect to get any help from us when you go to the factory for an internship this time. No one will give you any preferential treatment in the factory, not even me and your mother will give you even more A copper coin. That is to say, you have to be responsible for all your own life, all your sources of income, and you can only count on the salary you get at work, understand?"
"Understood!" Freya replied loudly, without any look of fear on her face.
Xu Yi shook his head lightly.
Although Freya is full of confidence now, she has never suffered such a suffering before, and she can't imagine how much trouble she will encounter if she lives alone.
Whether she will be able to persevere at that time, Xu Yike dare not make any guarantees.
"Freya, you..." Steele opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say a few more words, but after glancing at Xu Yi, he swallowed the rest of the words. "...Be careful yourself."
Freya giggled, walked over and took Steele's arm, rubbed her face against Steele's face, and said with a playful smile: "Mom, you don't have to worry about me so much. I'm almost fifteen years old , not a child anymore. You see, I am taller than you."
Steele smiled and slapped Freya's hand gesturing back and forth on his head, and lightly reprimanded: "I'll talk about this when you really grow up."
After that, he sighed lightly. "Forget it, since this is your own choice, I will respect your idea just like your father. Go ahead, if you can really persevere, then you can be said to be really sensible."
Steele and Freya babbled for a while, and finally parted reluctantly.
Before leaving, Xu Yi took out a small hair knot.
"This is a magic item specially made by Elder Lisanya for you. It contains an illusion magic that can change your appearance."
"It's so fun?" Freya curiously took the hair knot and tied her own hair. Then, under Xu Yi's teaching, she injected a bit of magic power into the hair knot, and a faint light blue light flashed through the hair knot, and then Xu Yi He and Steele noticed a subtle change in Freya's face.
After about half a minute, Freya's face was finally finalized.
Steele took a closer look and couldn't help frowning.
"This is... too common, right?"
At this time, Freya standing in front of the two of them had an ordinary face and ordinary facial features. No matter how you looked at it, she was just an ordinary girl who couldn't be distinguished when thrown into the crowd. How could she have the beauty of Freya herself? and agile temperament.
"It's good to be ordinary. If she still goes to the factory with her original face, even if she doesn't talk about her identity, her appearance alone will bring her unnecessary trouble." Xu Yidao.
Freya didn't mind her appearance becoming ordinary at all, and looked at the mirror for a while with great interest, her expression quite excited.
After asking about the various issues that need to be paid attention to when using this hair knot, Freya waved goodbye to the two.
In the next period of time, she will disguise herself as an ordinary girl who came to work in the Principality of Standing from the Kingdom of Lampari, and enter an assembly factory under the Xinfei Home Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce to do the simplest assembly work. months to half a year.
Of course, this job can't improve her magic level and management level, so it can't last too long.
But both Xu Yi and Freya are convinced that this internship will greatly enrich her life experience and will be very helpful for her future growth.
What Xu Yi was most pleased with was that this was Freya's own request, which showed that she was indeed seriously considering this matter this time.
If she can continue to maintain this mentality and improve herself steadily in the future, then it is indeed possible for her to have the ability to take over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the future.
But for Steele, the incident still reveals a lot of questions.
"Xu Yi, why did you agree to Freya? Didn't you always say that you want her and other children to have a happy childhood?"
Xu Yi looked at Freya's disappearing figure and sighed softly.
"Because... Kennard is leaving..." (~^~)
