Chapter 94
After that conversation, Xu Zhiyan had two more days of peace.
"Mr. Xu, haven't you found your daughter yet? My daughter's birthday is in three days." Song Huaipei was not frightened by Xu Zhiyan's words. So what if they got the certificate, so what if the match was high? Anyway, they still had one last item. If there was no permanent mark, then there was still time.
"We found her, but it's difficult for my people to bring her back." Xu Cheng was also a little anxious after receiving her call.
"Why do you say that? Can't you even bring your daughter back?"
"Not really. She goes back and forth alone every day. It's not easy to bring her back. Let's wait a little longer. She will be able to come back in the next two days." When talking about this, Xu Cheng's head was about to explode. He thought Xu Zhiyan would stay at her friends' homes, but he never thought that she would actually run to the interstellar base and didn't give him and his people any chance to take action.
"Mr. Xu, the Sixth Princess has an appointment and is now in the reception room." Just as he finished communicating with Song Huaipei, his men knocked on the door and came in.
"Sixth Princess? What is she doing here?" Although he had doubts in his heart, Xu Cheng still stood up and went to the reception room.
"Your Highness the Sixth Princess, I don't know what brings you here. I just had something to deal with. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Xu Cheng looked at the unusually young face in front of him, a little confused. Why would this little brat who had just reached adulthood come to make an appointment with him?
"Mr. Xu, I came here to make a deal with you."
"The Sixth Princess has already started to get involved in business at such a young age?" Hearing her words, Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows. Don't think it's some kind of playing house game. He doesn't have time to play with this child.
"Many high-ranking officials and nobles know that Mr. Xu's family has a top-tier Omega, but she's in her twenties and still unmarried. I came here to discuss this sister's marriage."
"Sixth Princess, are you interested in my daughter? You have just reached adulthood, you are a little too anxious." Xu Cheng thought she came for his marriage and wanted to refuse immediately. Xiao Jingyue was too young, and her glands had just reached maturity. Although they were generally stable, there was still a possibility of change. She was not suitable for his daughter at all.
"It's not me, it's my cousin, Xiao Yun."
Xu Cheng paused for a few seconds and thought carefully. He had no memory of the cousin she mentioned, so he simply said, "I'm sorry, Sixth Princess, I don't have much impression of the cousin you mentioned."
"She's from my great-uncle's family and hasn't lived in the imperial capital for a long time. It's normal that you don't know her. Although her family isn't as wealthy as the most luxurious, they are still a good match for the Xu family."
"Are you trying to bring about a marriage between our two families?" Xu Cheng frowned. How could a person who was unknown even need someone from the royal family to act as a matchmaker and dare to covet their daughter?
"Isn't this obvious?"
"I'm sorry, Sixth Princess, I don't think she is suitable for my daughter. Besides, as a father, I have already found a marriage partner for her. Please go back." Hearing her admit it herself, Xu Cheng refused without hesitation. It was too ungrateful for her to want his daughter just by relying on a little bit of relationship with the royal family.
"Don't be so anxious, Mr. Xu. I came here to make a deal with you. I haven't even told you my bargaining chip yet, so why are you so anxious to refuse?"
Xu Cheng looked at her face, which was about to smile but not smile, and felt more and more that she was here to play a little game of house. However, since she was of noble status, he couldn't just turn her down, so he had to follow her lead and ask, "What bargaining chips does the Sixth Princess have? Tell me."
"Mr. Xu's business has reached its peak, right? What's left is something you, as an ordinary businessman, can't access. It's not just about having money, you also need power. You want others to constantly want a piece of your pie. What do you think of this bargaining chip?"
"Sixth Princess is really interesting. Do you mean to say that you will give me this power?"
"If you want to make a deal with me, it's fine."
"Why should I believe you? Just relying on your status as a princess is too easy. There are three princes and princesses above you who are Alphas. They are also candidates for the throne. Are you really so sure that you can inherit the throne of the Emperor?"
"I don't plan to compete with them," Xiao Jingyue said, and showed him what was in her bracelet first.
Xu Cheng was silent for a long time, and hesitated several times to speak, still finding it unbelievable.
"How is it? Is this identity and background enough?"
"It's enough, but..." Xu Cheng's voice was full of hesitation. The person in front of him was just an adult, how could he have the courage to do such a big thing?
“While there are risks, it’s clear that the rewards are much higher.”
"It's not that I don't want to make this deal with you, but I have already made an engagement with the Song family, and now everything is ready. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to suddenly change people." What she said was indeed tempting, but the risk was also really high, and Xu Cheng didn't want to take the risk.
"Song family? Which Song family?"
"She's a rising star in the capital city in the past two years. Her strength is a little lacking, but her background is very strong." With the entire military behind her, both the political and business circles have to give her some respect. How can this background not be strong?
"No matter how powerful you are, can you be stronger than me?" Xiao Jingyue looked up at him. With the resources she has now, there should be few people in the imperial capital who can compare with her.
"Compared to you now, I really can't compare."
"That's right. Businessmen always focus on profit. I believe you understand what maximizing profit means."
Xu Cheng fell silent again. It was true that he could gain a lot of benefits by cooperating with the Song family, but the two families had a mutually beneficial relationship, and if one suffered, all would suffer.
"But my daughter hasn't come home yet, and there's nothing I can do. She's in the interstellar base, and a normal person like me can't get in."
"Why would an Omega like her join the military? Wait, what's your daughter's name?" There seemed to be no Omegas in the military, except for the two around Song Yizhu.
"Xu Zhiyan, the Sixth Princess only asked about the existence of a top-tier Omega in our family, but didn't even ask for his name?"
Xiao Jingyue wanted to curse several times, but her good upbringing made her hold back.
It's not like she wanted the Omega, so why would she check it out so clearly? Now, she has snatched the person into the hands of that lousy marshal. But it doesn't matter, she will be pissed to death after he snatches her away.
"Nothing, I just asked. Since Miss Xu is at the base, I'll bring her back for you."
Xu Cheng was worried about how he couldn't bring the person back, but when he heard her say that, he immediately smiled. He didn't promise anything personally, but Xiao Jingyue's way of leaving was too risky and he couldn't afford it.
