CHAPTER 920: CHAPTER 920: RESOLVE

Yuanyuan put down her cup, and Jiang Xinrong felt a slight tightening in his chest.

"Secretary Qian, go and inform Secretary Jiang. Show him the statements from those eleven people yesterday. If Minister Li still wants me to release them later, he should come and see me personally."

Jiang Xinrong didn’t expect such a straightforward remark.

Qian Zhifeng approached expressionlessly, "Secretary Jiang, please."

After Jiang Xinrong finished reading the eleven statements, he felt like disappearing into a corner.

"Secretary Qian. I will report to Minister Li right away. Can I take the statements with me?"

"Secretary Jiang, we’re both secretaries. Don’t you know that’s unreasonable?"

"I’m sorry, then I’ll be leaving." This Minister Su has such an imposing presence, even her secretary is more assertive than me.

He hurriedly reported to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng’s face was almost dripping with water. "Alright, I understand, call Minister Su’s secretary. See when Minister Su is available for a meeting?"

"Minister Li, shouldn’t you contact Minister Lu first? That way, it won’t be too difficult for you. Minister Su is really too firm."

Li Changsheng frowned. After thinking it over, he still decided to call Lu Chengmin. After all, Lu Chengmin has a good relationship with that person, I can’t be made to look so difficult, damn it, is it easy for me? Being caught between two women is not easy.

After a while, he finally got through to Lu Chengmin.

"Minister Lu. It’s me, Li Changsheng."

"What makes you have the time to call me?"

Isn’t this just pretending? Li Changsheng massaged his temples, "Minister Lu, regarding the report about Hu Zi, it has escalated, and Minister Su has detained eleven people on my side at the garrison."

Lu Chengmin was all smiles, this is truly Yuanyuan’s style.

"Old Li, what do you want from me?"

"Old Lu, Shi Hong called me this morning, asking me to get those eleven people out."

"Old Li, I can’t do that."

"Then I’ll come over for lunch today, you bring Minister Su, and I’ll speak in person."

"Sure, just make sure you’re on time, our Minister Su won’t give me much face."

"Okay, I’ll be there by eleven thirty." Li Changsheng finished and hung up the phone, this is really infuriating. I’m made to take the blame.

Lu Chengmin put down the phone and directly dialed Yuanyuan’s internal line.

"Yuanyuan."

"Xiao Su, lunch together, Li Changsheng is coming over."

"Okay."

"Alright, you can get back to work."

After putting down the phone, Lu Chengmin smiled, "Haha, I just love watching Xiao Su put people in their place. I can’t resist calling Zeng Zhenqing and let him listen too."

"I’ll definitely come over, Xiao Su must be angry this time."

At eleven thirty, it was lunch break. Yuanyuan tidied up her desk.

"Qian Zhifeng, Chengzi, come with me."

For the past two days, Xie Fenglan had been wondering why Minister Su became distant with her. She felt really sad and puzzled. But that’s the leader, how people arrange things is always right.

The three of them arrived at the entrance of Lu Chengmin’s office. Secretary Wu promptly opened the door to welcome them.

Lunch was ready; Lu Chengmin knew Yuanyuan’s taste, so it was very light.

She came over after her shift ended. By this time, Li Changsheng had already arrived.

Lu Chengmin stood up with a smile, "Xiao Su, quickly sit down, specially made meatball soup for you today, it’s made just for you."

"Thank you, Leader."

At this moment, Zeng Zhenqing also entered, "Did I arrive just in time?"

"Just in time for the meal, of course."

"Why speak such honest words?"

Everyone sat down, Chengzi poured Yuanyuan a glass of water, which was her habit.

"Let’s eat and talk at the same time, it’s not easy for Old Li to come here."

"Minister Su, I’m just a straightforward person, please bear with me if I say anything unpleasant."

Yuanyuan put down her water glass, "Minister Li, don’t say that, this isn’t a personal matter between us, so I won’t let personal emotions get involved."

Li Changsheng had met Yuanyuan a few times, but they weren’t familiar with each other and hadn’t talked much. Listening to her calm and unwavering voice, Li Changsheng knew that he would go home empty-handed today.

Lu Chengmin and Zeng Zhenqing both remained silent. Because Xiao Su rarely acted like this, it seems that this time things truly won’t end easily.

"Minister Su, although those eleven people may have been a bit out of line, they didn’t actually do anything wrong."

"Is there a definite rule?"

Li Changsheng was stopped in his tracks by the question. What rule is there?

"Since there’s no rule, how can you say there’s nothing wrong?

Also, I want to know, who gave you the authority to apprehend a person with numerous merits without evidence?

Is there a problem with someone reporting? Without evidence, they can boldly and haughtily try to arrest someone in an important place while reeking of alcohol?

I, Su Yuanyuan, came from there, it’s my home, everyone there is my brother and sister. Want to arrest someone? I’ve already given orders, investigation is fine, but anyone who wants to grab people will be immediately thrown out, and if they are not orderly, directly hit them till they comprehend the rules, detaining them is a must. After all, I haven’t let anyone arrest people outside, this is someone infringing upon us."

The three people were silent. Her words were truly domineering.

Zeng Zhenqing was the most excited, exactly, this is how it should be.

"Minister Su, what you said sounds problematic to me. Are you saying that the garrison is yours? What you’re doing is a mistake."

Yuanyuan put down her chopsticks, "I will always say it this way. A mistake? When we were on the edge of life and death, why did no one say anything?"

"That was your duty."

"A fine ’duty’, then that warrants smearing us?

I repeat, I, Su Yuanyuan, will protect that place. If anyone disagrees, come find me. I will not back down.

As for my mistakes, sure, let’s see if I, Su Yuanyuan, can protect those brothers who fought alongside me, or if I will fall as well?"

"Minister Su, we have our rights."

"Minister Li, who gave you those rights?

I, Su Yuanyuan, am not a fool. I know what’s happening, and what they want to do, I have no objections. But if they don’t get my approval, I can leave, I can overthrow it. But don’t make me a target, or treat me like a fool.

I’ve already made myself very clear. That garrison is my home, and no one’s intentions are acceptable.

If you want to proceed, then go ahead. If something really happens, no one will get away."

After finishing, she stood up, at this time Chengzi came over.
