Xu Chengyi never expected that Li Zhiyuan would actually take his casual promise seriously.
If Li Zhiyuan had taken a liking to someone else, it wouldn't be a big deal.
I never expected that this guy would fall for Jiang Ruoyi!
The matter with Sun Xiaolei has just passed, and Jiang Ruoyi is now a focal point in Guanzhong. If something goes wrong again and stirs up public opinion, that would be disastrous.
"What, my lord? You are the King of Guanzhong. How could such a small matter stump you?" Li Zhiyuan's lips curled up slightly.
"Uh, no, no, it's just that, Second Young Master, the matter with Sun Xiaolei is still fresh in our minds. If we force things, I'm afraid..." Xu Chengyi's expression showed some worry.
Li Zhiyuan smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can get her to take the initiative to ask me out for a meal, leave the rest to me!"
Li Zhiyuan is a very arrogant person who always relies on attraction to pursue women.
In his view, conquering a woman boils down to two things: money and talent, and he had both of them.
How can someone as low as Sun Xiaolei be compared to him?
He was confident that as long as he could have some alone time with Jiang Ruoyi, he would definitely make her fall in love with him.
Hearing this, Xu Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If that's all there is to it, it's not difficult. Don't worry, Second Young Master, I will definitely get this done for you!"
After the dinner party ended, Xu Chengyi returned to the villa and pondered the matter carefully.
If he wanted Jiang Ruoyi to have dinner with Li Zhiyuan, he would definitely have to get Jiang Tianming involved. So he personally sent his assistant to Jiang Tianming's company to talk to him.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tianming was in a state of utter distress.
Since Long Tianqi's defeat, these companies that relied on the Xu family have become the target of public criticism and have been ostracized in the business world.
It's been half a month, and there hasn't been a single order. The cash flow is at risk of breaking down at any time.
He knew his daughter was seeing Lin Yu, so he wanted to ask her to plead for him, but ever since she was discharged from the hospital, she hadn't answered his calls at all. It was truly driving him crazy.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Xu Chengyi's assistant came to his door.
Jiang Tianming was flattered.
Although the Xu family is not in a good situation now, Xu Chengyi is still a god-like figure in his eyes.
After all, he was a marquis, and he had powerful clans backing him up; he dared not offend him easily.
Jiang Tianming, with a fawning expression, ushered the man into his office and asked with a forced smile, "Assistant Zhang, I didn't know you were here this time..."
Zhang Chuan smiled and said, "President Jiang, there's no need to be nervous. During Long Tianqi's martial arts competition, you stood on the side of our Xu family, and my lord praised you highly! I've come this time to bring you some good news!"
"Good news?" Jiang Tianming's face lit up with joy. "I wonder what kind of good news it is, Assistant Zhang?"
Zhang Chuan smiled slightly, "Rather than good news, it's more like an opportunity! I don't need to elaborate on the situation of your Jiang family. If you can seize this opportunity, the pressure on your business will be relieved immediately, and you are very likely to soar to new heights and become one of the top families in the entire Guanzhong region!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianming's expression changed, and he asked impatiently, "Assistant Zhang, what exactly is this opportunity? Please tell me!"
Now, Zhang Chuan stopped being coy and said, "Then I'll just get straight to the point. The new executive director of the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce, Young Master Li, has arrived in Guanzhong. He has seen your daughter's photo and has fallen in love with Miss Jiang at first sight, so he would like to invite Miss Jiang to dinner!"
"Uh, Young Master Li?" Jiang Tianming was slightly taken aback.
Zhang Chuan nodded. "It's Chairman Li's second son! The Li family is a true tycoon family. For the second young master of the Li family to take a liking to your daughter is a once-in-a-century opportunity for your Jiang family. You must seize this opportunity!"
After Zhang Chuan finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Tianming meaningfully.
Jiang Tianming remained silent. He was a seasoned businessman with his own judgment. Although his Jiang family was well-known in Guanzhong, they were far inferior to the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce. It was no exaggeration to say that the difference was like heaven and earth!
Who is Chairman Li? Why would someone from such a humble background become his in-law?
Even if that young master Li takes a liking to his daughter, it's most likely just a passing fancy, something he wants to play around with. He might end up with nothing, and even lose his virginity, only to have her walk away, leaving him a huge loser!
Thinking of this, Jiang Tianming put on an embarrassed expression and said, "Assistant Zhang, in my opinion, our Jiang family is just a small, insignificant family. How could we possibly be worthy of the Li family's favor? I think we should just let this matter go."
Zhang Chuan was slightly surprised that the other party would refuse, so he couldn't help but persuade him: "President Jiang, you have to understand, who is Young Master Li? Even in Yandu, he is a leader among young people! If your Jiang family gets such a son-in-law, he will surely rise to prominence in the future!"
Jiang Tianming shook his head and sighed, "Assistant Zhang, I know my own limitations! Although my daughter is somewhat attractive, what kind of woman hasn't Young Master Li seen? He's probably only interested in my daughter for a moment. Once he gets tired of her, it'll be my daughter who gets hurt. As a father, how can I bear to do that!"
Zhang Chuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this old man was actually quite clear-headed.
However, Xu Chengyi had anticipated that Jiang Tianming might refuse, so he gave him a trump card.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jiang Tianming, he had no choice but to play his trump card, saying, "President Jiang, to be honest, Young Master Li has already inspected our Xu family during his trip to Guanzhong. The Xu family is about to become a member of the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce! Now is a crucial time, and the Marquis hopes you can lend a hand. If this succeeds, once the Marquis joins the Chamber of Commerce, he will also consider acquiring your Jiang family's company. In that case, it would be equivalent to your Jiang family also joining the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. I don't need to elaborate on the dividends and income, right? I advise you to think it over carefully!"
"Does Your Excellency really say that?" Jiang Tianming couldn't help but be moved.
He'd spent half his life striving for wealth! The offer from the other party was simply too tempting for him. If the Jiang family were to join the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, it would be like boarding an aircraft carrier!
Zhang Chuan's lips curled slightly. "Of course, this is what the Marquis said himself! President Jiang, you don't need to worry about this at all. Which girl doesn't have a boyfriend these days? Even if it doesn't lead to marriage, it's a clean break, there's no loss! And if the two of you really do get along well in the future, then Miss Jiang will be a phoenix rising to the top. No matter how you look at it, you won't lose out!"
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Tianming realized that what Zhang Chuan said was indeed true.
It's just dating, what's the big deal? Our daughter can always find someone else later. If that doesn't work out, we can let her try to seduce Lin Yu again. Even if he's not a powerful conglomerate like the Red Phoenix Merchant Guild, having a young grandmaster as a son-in-law is still a good option.
Thinking of this, he clapped his hands hard and said with a smile, "Alright! Since that's the case, I agree to your request, Marquis! Please go back and tell you that I will try my best to persuade my daughter to make this happen!"
