Chapter 10 Taking a Stand

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Hearing Xu Yi's affirmative answer, the reporters in the audience suddenly burst into commotion.

After a moment, a bunch of arms were raised in the audience.

"President Xu, are you really sure you want your daughter to be your sole heir?"

"President Xu, what you mean by sole heir is that except for your daughter, your other descendants will not inherit any of your property?"

"President Xu, if you have another son in the future, don't you consider letting him inherit your family property?"

"President Xu..."

...

Waiting for the excitement of the reporters in the audience to recede a bit, to regain their silence, and all staring at him, Xu Yi smiled and asked: "Why do you react like this? She is my daughter. Is there something wrong with my heir?"

"The point is the only thing!" A reporter from the audience shouted loudly: "President Xu, the only thing you mean is that you don't plan to leave the family property to other children?"

"I think your understanding is a bit off." Xu Yi shook his head. "The sole heir means that my daughter is the only one who is likely to inherit my title. As for the family property...that's another matter."

"Nobility?" The reporters were all taken aback. "Isn't it related to family property? What about the chairmanship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Doesn't it have anything to do with this?"

Xu Yi looked at the reporter who asked the question in surprise.

"The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not belong to me alone. Why should my children inherit the position of president? What's more, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really only belongs to me. The president should also choose a capable person. If My children are not outstanding in business ability, do I want to watch Xinfei Merchant Association decline under their hands?"

The reporters thought about it, and felt that Xu Yi's words made some sense. However, it is really inconsistent with the traditions on the continent of Sainz.

According to the tradition, for a big chamber of commerce like Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that Xu Yi has absolute control over, Xu Yi is absolutely unwilling to hand it over to outsiders.

In any case, he will also train his heir as the next president, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will control the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes, and still actually control it.

Judging from Xu Yi's attitude, his most likely approach would be the second one.

After all, if his children inherit his title. That would be nobility, too.

And his children probably won't be as special as Xu Yi, able to have the status of nobleman and businessman at the same time. So it is also most feasible to control behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, the reporters immediately felt relieved.

However, this problem can be figured out, but there are more problems.

"President Xu, you said that your title will be inherited by your daughter in the future. Why not consider leaving it to your son?" a reporter asked. "Many people say that you did this to show your support for Her Royal Highness Seweini, is that so?"

This question is what all journalists really care about.

If Xu Yi answered yes, it meant that he began to formally and clearly express his support for Her Royal Highness Seweini to everyone, which also meant that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would be formally included in Her Royal Highness Seweini's camp.

Although if Xu Yi did not do this, everyone would have the same view, but before Xu Yi did not clearly express his position, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may change its position at any time. It is also possible to have a greater buffer for many things.

After Xu Yi expressed his position now, it would be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to change in the future. Xu Yi's doing so was equivalent to placing all bets on Her Royal Highness Seweini.

And once Her Royal Highness Princess Seweney failed to ascend the throne in the end. Instead, His Royal Highness Prince Eric became the next king, so one can imagine the outcome of waiting for Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, although Xu Yi only confirmed his daughter as his sole heir, at first glance it was just his private family affairs, but because of Xu Yi's sensitive identity and the importance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this matter is not just a mere matter. a family matter. There are too many factors involved.

How could it be possible for Xu Yi not to know what the reporters were thinking at this moment, and to better understand the meaning of their asking this question. But he had made this choice after deliberation, so naturally he wouldn't appear panicked when faced with this problem.

"First of all, I don't have a son now." Xu Yi smiled. "Secondly, even if I have a new crystallization of love with Steele in the future, and it is still a son, but since I have determined the heir, there will be no changes. Because the more important it is on this important issue, The more you can’t be repeated, otherwise it’s not good for anyone. I hope that my children can live in harmony, and I don’t want to see them dissatisfied with each other or even fight with each other because of the unclear inheritance rights.”

The reporters in the audience opened their eyes wide at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.

"President Xu, can I understand your words as an accusation against His Majesty the King?" A reporter couldn't help but asked loudly.

Xu Yi smiled lightly and spread his hands: "This is your own understanding, and it has nothing to do with me."

The reporters ignored Xu Yi's ambiguous statement, and all wrote down Xu Yi's answer word by word in the small notebooks in their hands.

After a while, another reporter asked: "President Xu, you haven't answered the next question. Did you deliberately choose to make your daughter the sole heir to show your support for Her Royal Highness Seweini?"

"You can think so, because it does contain part of my thoughts." Xu Yi nodded. "But for me, this is the first child of me and Steele, and it holds a very important position in my heart. Seeing her birth, I can't wait to give her everything I own. As for the title, It's not important in comparison to grow or something. This is a normal thought of a father, and I think you should be able to understand."

Although the reporters also memorized the second half of Xu Yi's answer, they were compared. Undoubtedly, his first affirmative answer is much more important.

Xu Yi affirmed the questions of the reporters, which meant that he really had the idea of ​​supporting Her Royal Highness Seweney through his decision.

Given the importance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the entire Kingdom of Lampari, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni has received clear and comprehensive support from Xu Yi. That is equivalent to adding an extremely important bargaining chip to Her Royal Highness Seweini's side, which is extremely helpful for Her Royal Highness Seweini's succession to the throne.

However, Xu Yi's approach has a drawback, that is, he did it with the intention of irritating His Majesty the King.

Isn't he worried that this practice will arouse His Majesty's dislike, and instead make His Majesty more inclined to let His Royal Highness Prince Eric inherit the throne?

###

"It's okay for those stupid reporters to think so, why do you think so, Dema?"

Lampari XIII had just finished speaking, and began to cough violently again.

Although winter is long gone. However, Lampari XIII's health did not look much better, and he still looked very weak.

Although it is not necessary to hide in the bedroom every day like winter. But there is not much time to leave the room.

"Determining the heir to the throne is related to the entire kingdom. How could I be emotional. Whether it's Eric, Seweni, or Miham. It's up to them to decide who will succeed me as the king. Who can make a greater contribution to the entire kingdom should not be determined by my personal preferences."

Dema nodded slightly, and then said again: "But Your Majesty, I think Xu Yi is right in one point. If he can determine the heir to the throne as soon as possible, so that His Highness Prince Eric and the others don't fight each other for the right of inheritance, whether it is for you , or to them. It is even very good for the whole kingdom. Why didn't you make sure in the morning?"

"Are you blaming me?" Lampari XIII smiled slightly, but then sighed deeply. "Do you think I don't want to do this? But after all, the royal family is not like a small family like Xu Yi's. An heir is an extremely important decision that involves too much. How can it be easy to determine the candidate. Xu Yi didn't say that Is it? If his children are not capable enough, he can't still teach them the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and watch them corrupt the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"But Xu Yi can hand over the management of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to others, but you can't hand over the entire kingdom to others. This throne can only be inherited by your children. So..." Dema After a pause, he gritted his teeth hard. As if made up his mind. "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. If it is later, I'm afraid..."

Lampari XIII looked at Dema quietly for a while, then shook his head slowly.

"Demar, you never took the initiative to express your opinion on this matter before, why are you acting so positive today?"

Dema showed a bitter smile, but did not answer.

Lampari XIII sighed again.

"Okay, I see what you mean. Are you worried about my body? Do you think I can't last much longer?"

Dema lowered her head deeply, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head again, but there were already two lines of hot tears on her face, and her voice was choked up.

"Your Majesty...I...I just watched you...you are getting weaker day by day, but I can't think of any way to save you. I am really... really very sad. I know that the most important thing in your heart is The entire kingdom, so I very much hope that you can determine the most important thing for the kingdom as soon as possible. Then let go of your worries and be well...well..."

"Spend your last days well?" Lampari XIII smiled slightly, beckoned to Dema, and beckoned him to come over.

When Dema came to the side, Lampari XIII suddenly raised his arm and swung it fiercely.

"Snapped--"

Dema covered her hot face and looked at Lampari XIII in astonishment.

"What? Am I already a dead man about to go to the ground in your opinion?"

Lampari XIII, who had always seemed weak during this period, was like a lion that had been enraged all the time. Although he was still weak, he was so powerful that no one could resist at all.

"I am the king of this kingdom! I don't need the pity of others, and I have no right to be pitied! Since I am the king, I must bear the responsibility of the king! Choosing the most suitable heir for this kingdom is the last and most important thing for me. It is an important responsibility, and I must be very serious about fulfilling this responsibility with all my strength. So as long as I am not dead, I must use my best efforts to consider this matter, understand?"

Dema stared blankly at Lampari XIII, and nodded slowly after a while.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have offended you, and I beg your forgiveness."

Lampari XIII snorted heavily, and stretched out his hand to Dema.

"I've finished reading about Seweigny's affairs, go and get the report from the northern province, and let me see what Eric has been doing during this time." (To be continued)
