"If you can make great contributions to the Chamber of Commerce, I'd like to see who dares to stand in the way of your marriage to Isabella!"
"Fourth Uncle~" Isabella said coquettishly, but she was also somewhat tempted.
She knew that many people in the Chamber of Commerce did not approve of her marriage to Brother Zu, which was why she had previously neglected Brother Zu.
As the eldest daughter of a business guild, she may appear glamorous to outsiders, but she is also well aware of the responsibilities she bears and cannot act according to her own whims like ordinary people.
If the Chamber of Commerce could approve of her relationship with Brother Zu, that would be even better.
But the area outside the Great Wall was too dangerous, and she couldn't bear to let her elder brother Zu take the risk.
Just as they were about to help Zuan refuse, the Grand Elder spoke up: "Alright, let him serve as the Governor-General of Jiliao, responsible for pacifying the foreign tribes beyond the pass."
Others wanted to persuade him further, but the Grand Elder waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say anything more. No one is more suitable than him."
He then looked at Zu'an and said, "Once you arrive outside the Great Wall, the imperial court will provide you with all the assistance you need. As long as you can quell the Manchu rebellion, not only will your marriage to Isabella be arranged, but you will also have a place at the Chamber of Commerce's round table conference in the future."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Imperial Study was shocked. The seven elders of the Universal Chamber of Commerce Round Table Conference were all the most powerful people in the myriad worlds. Who wouldn't be envious?
Many people even wanted to volunteer to go beyond the pass, but then they thought that even the invincible Augustus was dead, and they would only be throwing their lives away if they went.
The position of the Eighth Elder of the Global Chamber of Commerce is tempting, but one must be alive to enjoy it. For someone from Zu'an, going to the Northeast would most likely only lead to certain death.
Thinking about it this way, many people calmed down immediately, and many even began to agree with him going.
Despite the atmosphere building up to this point, Zu An remained unmoved, fully aware of the dangers involved.
Just as she was about to refuse, the Grand Elder suddenly spoke up: "Do you want everyone to think that Isabella has entrusted herself to the wrong person?"
Zuan looked at Isabella, who quickly winked at him and whispered, "Brother Zuan, please don't go, don't worry about me..."
He suddenly smiled. Since fate had arranged these things, he figured the only way to find a glimmer of hope was to face them directly.
Besides, she is a woman of deep affection, how could I possibly let her lose face?
"Okay, I'll go."
