Chapter 611

Perhaps it was because this shout was too sudden, or perhaps they were intimidated by her aura, but the three men actually stopped immediately, looking at Zheng Liangyu in a loss for what to do.

How could the Director of the Construction Commission, who was used to throwing his weight around, be scared by a woman? Besides, he had drunk quite a bit at the dinner party his daughter was hosting for the Construction Commission staff, and everything in his vision was blurry. He didn't recognize Su Qing at all. He lifted his chin at her and provoked, "Get lost, you stinking woman, or I'll beat you too!"

"Say that again, you old bald donkey!" In this situation, with Su Qing present, Zhao Desan plucked up the courage to appear fearless and particularly fierce, intentionally shielding Su Qing, which only deepened her good impression of him.

"Stop!" Su Qing shouted again, her face serious. She looked carefully at the middle-aged, balding man and furrowed her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly. Why did he look so familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before? She then asked, "Which unit are you from? How dare you act so recklessly here just because you're drunk!"

"Who cares which unit I'm from! Get lost, you stinking woman!" The bald man, emboldened by the alcohol, didn't back down.

Su Qing pursed her lips, glared, and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Zheng Liangyu was muddled with drink; who cared who she was? He laughed disdainfully, lifted his chin, and retorted, "Who cares who you are! Do you know who I am, damn you?"

Whether it was because the other party's arrogance made Su Qing a bit afraid, or because she remained calm and composed in the face of such a situation, Su Qing suddenly calmed down and asked him in an extremely steady tone, "You tell me who you are first. Let me see if I can afford to offend you."

Half-drunk Zheng Liangyu thought she was afraid when he heard her reaction. He smiled smugly and then said arrogantly, "Listen well, damn you, I am Zheng Liangyu, Director of the Provincial Construction Commission!"

After Zheng Liangyu foolishly announced his identity, Ma Ma Debang, who was hiding in the private room observing the conflict, clapped his hands in secret approval. A look of irrepressible glee hung on his face as he thought, "Director Zheng, you're really having a streak of bad luck today. Of all people to provoke, why did you have to be so ignorant and go against the Minister of the Provincial Organization Department? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Director of the Construction Commission, Zheng Liangyu? Zhao Desan couldn't help but gasp. This was his future top leader! He really had eyes but failed to recognize a superior tonight; he was truly having the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have provoked him. He felt quite regretful for being so competitive just now and stood to the side, suddenly deflated like a punctured ball, not saying a word.

But Su Qing, as the Minister of the Provincial Organization Department, immediately felt confident when facing a department-level cadre in the government system who was of a much lower rank than her. She couldn't help but smile contemptuously, thinking to herself, "No wonder I felt he looked familiar the first time I saw him. Since I rarely deal with the Construction Commission, I might have only seen him once or twice at provincial meetings, so I couldn't recall who he was for a moment. This is good; I didn't expect him to announce his own identity." Su Qing couldn't help but feel that this guy was a bit too arrogant. As the saying goes, "liquor gives a coward courage." A mere Construction Commission Director, after drinking a little, really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and didn't know his own worth.

"Then do you know who I am?" After figuring out the other party's background, Su Qing felt full of confidence. She looked at him with a disdainful gaze and walked straight up to him.

"Who cares who you are! I don't hit women! Get lost, you stinking woman! Don't blame me for being impolite!" Director Zheng didn't seem to take her words to heart at all. Instead, as if he had grown a pair of guts, he pushed Su Qing with his hand. This act of refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit infuriated Su Qing. She shouted, "Zheng Liangyu, you really have the guts of a dog! You even dare to touch me! Do you still want to be this Director?"

With Su Qing's shout, the others suddenly quieted down. The three sober middle-aged men, upon hearing her words, vaguely sensed that this tall woman in a dress must have a powerful background. From the moment she walked out, she had a unique aura. The three of them looked at him with strange eyes, already feeling guilty.

Seeing Su Qing so furious for the first time, Zhao Desan knew she must be extremely angry at Director Zheng. One was the woman who had used her connections to get him a job in the province, and the other was the leader of his future unit. He didn't want to offend either of them. So, he took this opportunity to step forward as if he had no grudge against Director Zheng, pulled the stunned man aside with a smiling face, and whispered in his ear, "Director Zheng, she is Su Qing, Minister of the Provincial Organization Department. You should hurry up and call your people away; don't cause a disaster."

Hearing his words, the half-drunk Director Zheng turned his face and swept a fleeting glance at him, then suddenly pushed him away, saying, "Get lost! Don't try to scare me with that act!"

Zhao Desan's good intentions were trampled upon; he had offered a warm face only to be met with a cold shoulder. He looked at Su Qing with a dejected face and stood to the side.
