Chapter 907: Who the hell are you? Do you even have the authority?

The atmosphere, which had eased somewhat, suddenly became tense again.

Zhang Jiangbo's face turned even more the color of pig liver; the aura he initially had vanished completely, and even his speech began to stutter: "You, you, you, what do you want to do? Don't go too far!"

Su Yang said, "Am I being excessive?"

"My demand is simple; you even have a choice. Otherwise, slap yourself twice and admit you misspoke, and you'll definitely remember next time."

"Otherwise, you don't have to act so servile; you can keep up the airs of a wealthy young master, and I can have Zhou Tong step in to teach you how to regulate your speech and how to behave civilly."

At that moment, the air in the whole club seemed to freeze. If Zhang Jiangbo were merely someone on an enterprise posting, nobody would really mind—after all, such incidents have happened in the club before; people bump into each other, and for the sake of saving face, it's not unheard of to come to blows.

But Zhang Jiangbo's matter has already been decided; after the New Year, the Organization Department will issue a document. Su Yang isn't unaware of this, and his doing this is indeed a bit arrogant.

If earlier it was Zhang Jiangbo and his gang deliberately provoking, then now Su Yang is arrogant and overbearing, refusing to let anyone off the hook once he's in the right.

Doing this is trampling on everyone's dignity and destroying their order and rules.

Unless one possesses absolute strength and a lofty status, it's impossible to act this way, yet Su Yang did exactly that.

He not only did that, but he also has a steadfast supporter and a violent enforcer by his side.

Zhang Jiangbo really couldn't afford to lose face before this person! He turned his pleading gaze toward Jia Guolong, hoping at least Jia Guolong would say a word for him; otherwise, how could he ever face people again?

If he were ranked last in this circle, that would be fine, but the key is that he now can also get close to the middle in this circle.

Jia Guolong's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Su Yang, trying to use his gaze to threaten Su Yang into taking back his earlier words.

But Su Yang simply ignored him. It's not that Su Yang inwardly wants to be so arrogant, nor that he deliberately targets him; if it were anyone else, Su Yang might actually give them face.

After all, we'll all be in the same circle in the future—you can't avoid seeing each other—and often at crucial moments you can get everyone's support, which is also crucial. But Jia Guolong once led the mockery and provocation against him.

Moreover, this isn't the most crucial point.

Most importantly, despite knowing that he and Zhou Ruohan are about to hold a wedding, Jia Guolong actually has people send flowers to Zhou Ruohan every day and even set up a confession wall for him; many in this circle have expressed support for his actions.

This looks like a fair competitive act, but in reality it's just sticking firewood in the eyes of the living.

Zhou Ruohan mentioned this to Su Yang over the phone.

If their relationship hadn't been settled, or if they hadn't confirmed the wedding, that kind of behavior could be seen as courtship and wouldn't need to be so extreme.

But now it's outright provocation, because everyone in the circle knows that Jia Guolong pursued Zhou Ruohan for years, only to be snatched away by Su Yang at the last moment.

If he could balance his feelings, that would be strange.

So if he doesn't stir up some trouble, it wouldn't be him; it's just that his lackey chose poorly, letting Su Yang cut off the horse's leg directly.

After a stalemate of several seconds, Zhang Jiangbo didn't get any substantive rescue; instead, his situation became even more awkward.

It's really like slapping his own face—no different from urinating on his own head.

At that moment, a girl with dyed golden long hair lightly said, "Enough, we've gone far enough; besides, killing someone only costs a head—why press so hard?"

"We're all civilized people; even our words and deeds represent the families behind us."

"Leave a line when dealing with people, so we can meet again in the future; everyone, give me some face."

Her words were fine unspoken, but once spoken they directly became a catalyst for the conflict.

And Zhang Jiangbo mistakenly thought Su Yang and his group would stop, so he turned around to return to his seat.

At that very moment, Zhou Tong, who had been fawning beside Su Yang, swung both arms and delivered two hard slaps to Zhang Jiangbo's face: "You damn well give face then refuse it—my brother-in-law just gave you a chance, you didn't take it, so I'll choose for you."

"Now you can get lost."

Then he still stared at the golden-haired girl, who said, "Zhou Tong, you're going too far."

Zhou Tong said, "If they had humiliated you like that just now, what would you do?"

"Besides, who are you?"

After saying that, she turned to Su Yang and said, "Brother-in-law, there are seats over there; let's go."

The golden-haired girl froze on the spot; she had intended to rely on her status to put on a show, but the result was no less than being diffracted by someone.

Really, trying to act cool backfired, getting screwed instead; the more embarrassing, the more embarrassing.

Su Yang and his group walked toward the booth, and as they passed, they actually saw an acquaintance.

Fang Jingwen was actually here too, sitting together with the little devil girl; this isn't hard to understand, given that Minister Fang and the Liu family are on good terms, and even Minister Fang's appointment as deputy head of the Organization Department was thanks to great help from Old Liu.

Moreover, having reached his position, it's natural for his whole family to reside in Jingcheng; although his status is prominent, in Jingcheng he still needs to stand with the Liu family, so Fang Jingwen's presence here is quite normal.

When they saw Fang Jingwen, she had already seen them.

At this moment, she was still dazed from shock; she knew Su Yang was an odd person, but she never imagined he could actually reach this point.

Moreover, she underestimated how important Su Yang is in Zhou Ruohan's heart.

Really, if it were her, the other party apologizing would probably be enough; there'd be no need to pursue the matter to the end.

Of course, she isn't Zhou Ruohan, and she completely lacks understanding of the foundation of a wealthy aristocratic clan.

Just as both sides were stunned, Zhou Ruohan took the initiative to greet: "Jingwen, you're here too? If I'd known earlier, we would have come over sooner and could have chatted together."

That single "Jingwen" almost left Fang Jingwen bewildered; she thought to herself, "When did we become this close? Those who don't know might think we're close female friends."

If Su Yang called me that, I'd probably not say anything.

But she only froze for a moment, then immediately said, "Oh, that's not the case; I moved here this year, originally I didn't plan to go out, staying home to keep my parents company, but Zixuan insisted on bringing me."

"Seeing you all, I think it's also pretty good; there will be plenty of chances to chat in the future."

Her remark "also pretty good" is something only she, Su Yang, and Zhou Ruohan can understand.

Others would just take it as ordinary pleasantries.

The little devil girl, who loves a spectacle and doesn't mind causing trouble, directly said, "Why don't we all squeeze in? Our seats are big enough for just the two of us, but actually it's a bit of a waste of resources."

"Besides, it's the New Year—more people means more liveliness; I actually planned to look for you guys."

Perhaps she doesn't know the inside story; in any case, she truly likes crowds and liveliness.

Su Yang really wished he could shut Liu Zixuan's mouth, thinking: "You really don't mind stirring up trouble—what's this got to do with that? You're just trying to matchmake us."

"If I were willing to sit with you guys, would I even need you to say so? I would have come over directly already."

Last time I even praised you for making progress, but looking at it now, back then you at most just gave a little shiver…
