A carriage left Viscount Leslie's estate and soon reached the smooth road leading to Bunta City.
Inside the carriage, Viscount Leslie was holding a copy of the Bunta Daily and reading through it.
After reading for a while, Viscount Leslie nodded approvingly. "This really is excellent. I'm certain it'll catch on. Xu Yi, advertising will be much easier for you with this."
Sitting opposite Viscount Leslie, Xu Yi stopped looking through the documents in his hands, raised his head, and smiled. "My lord, you're right that I created it mainly to make advertising easier in the future, but you mustn't say that in front of Baron Haines. He'll definitely be upset."
Viscount Leslie laughed. "True. That fellow is so invested in it now that if you asked him to run an advertisement, he might not even give you special treatment as its founder."
Xu Yi shrugged. "That doesn't really matter. I started this newspaper to give him something to do anyway, so he'd stop hovering around me and the factory all day and causing Heinz to complain to me every single day."
Viscount Leslie laughed even louder. "Xu Yi, if Heinz heard you speak so frankly, he'd be furious with you. Is he really that annoying?"
"No, no, my lord. You mustn't go saying things like that. How could Baron Haines possibly be annoying? It's just... well, his concern for me and the Xinfei Merchant Guild is a little excessive, and it interferes slightly with our work. Now that I've developed the Magic Printing Press specifically for him and provided enough funding and space to establish the Bunta Daily, Baron Haines is very grateful to me. If he heard what you said and got the wrong idea about me, I'd be taking a terrible loss."
Viscount Leslie shook his head.
