Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 123: The Arrogant Fuso Ambassador Su Zhengyang's Tough Attitude

Zhang Chengxiang looked at Su Zhengyang with a gloomy face and said, "As the governor of a state and one of the members of the Northern Frontier government, you should be mature and prudent instead of fighting with others in this kind of situation. With your character, I really don't know why the president insisted on supporting you to become the new member of Congress."

Su Zhengyang refuted bluntly: "Governor Zhang didn't teach his son a lesson, but instead picked on me. You mean, even if someone else hit me first, I can't fight back, but let them take advantage of me, right? My Su family's family motto is different from your Zhang family's. From our ancestors to the present, there has never been a single spineless person. I can't learn your family tradition."

Zhang Chengxiang's blood pressure soared due to anger. He now finally understood why his son, who had always been considered steady, would disregard his status and the circumstances of the scene and fight with Su Zhengyang.

"What you mean is! My Zhang family is not as good as your Su family, and the whole family is spineless?"

Su Zhengyang shrugged and shook his head, saying, "At least there is no one in our Su family who would kowtow to the great powers."

"Alright, alright, shut up! Su Zhengyang! Governor Zhang is your elder after all, so watch your words, Brother Zhang. In this kind of situation, don't let others laugh at our Northern Frontier government. Let's end this matter here."

Zhang Chengxiang snorted coldly: "Mr. President, I feel a little unwell, so I'll take my leave first."

Zhang Chengxiang left with an extremely ugly expression. Yang Jiakai looked at Su Zhengyang helplessly and shook his head, saying, "You kid, you are a firecracker that will light up at any time. Today is your welcoming dinner, and there are reporters outside. Can't you be more stable?"

Jiang Yanlin patted Su Zhengyang on the shoulder with an admiring look on his face and said, "Good boy, if you are in a bad mood, the warlord forces like the Zhang family who wish to be Fusang's sons, this is how I will deal with them."

Duan Jinshu glared at Jiang Yanlin and said, "You think the incident isn't serious enough? Shut up now."

Yang Jiakai turned around, smiled, and said to the guests present: "It's just a misunderstanding between young people. They are all trivial matters. Let's continue drinking and don't take it to heart."

After Zhang Chengxiang left, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became heated. Pang Jinghong smiled with a hint of success, crossed his legs, sat on the sofa, and kept communicating with Yamaguchi Hideta beside him.

Duan Jiahui whispered in Su Zhengyang's ear: "I saw it just now. It was the old man from the Pang family who kept stirring up trouble around Zhang Chengxiang. That's why Zhang Zhixiao came to cause trouble for you. Now you have offended the Zhang family, and Pang Jinghong is very happy."

Su Zhengyang sneered and glanced at Pang Jinghong with disdain.

"The Pang family only knows these dirty tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. Since he wants it, then let him do as he wishes. This Zhang Xi is not a good person to begin with."

Jiang Xuewen said solemnly, "At least Zhang Chengxiang now controls the governor of Zhili, one of the three provinces in the Central Plains. He is also a vindictive person. You should be careful and guard against them in the future."

Soon, the dinner reached its climax. Many high-ranking officials and celebrities from Northern Xinjiang, along with their families or other women present, came to the central dance floor and started ballroom dancing to the sound of music.

Su Zhengyang shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, this kind of dinner was totally meaningless. The rich were living a life of luxury while the poor were freezing to death in the streets. It would be better to invest the money in the army to improve its strength. However, the Northern Xinjiang government was also concerned about its own image and face. Besides, this dinner was also held to welcome him, so Su Zhengyang couldn't say anything.

Jiang Xuewen elegantly invited the daughter of a high-ranking official from Northern Frontier to show off her dancing skills on the dance floor. Duan Jiahui, like Su Zhengyang, came to the corner with a glass in his hand, glanced at Su Zhengyang with a little surprise and said, "I didn't expect Brother Su doesn't like this kind of occasion either."

Su Zhengyang responded in a slightly pretentious manner: "In my opinion, the only significance of this kind of dinner is to make some connections."

Duan Jiahui nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard not far away. The two looked up and saw that Yang Qiyue was held tightly by the wrist by the Fuso ambassador Yamaguchi Hideta. With a cold face, Yang Qiyue poured the wine in the glass in her hand all over Yamaguchi Hideta's face.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, please respect yourself and let go! I don't want to dance with you."

"idiot!"

Yamaguchi Hideta wiped the wine off his face and cursed angrily.

Su Zhengyang strode forward, pushed Yamaguchi Hideta away, and protected Yang Qiyue behind him. Duan Jiahui followed closely behind, looking at the Japanese devil with a bad face.

"Miss Yang, are you okay?"

Su Zhengyang learned what happened from Yang Qiyue. It turned out that the Japanese wanted to invite Yang Qiyue to dance, but was rejected by Yang Qiyue. The bold Japanese actually reached out and grabbed Yang Qiyue's wrist, which led to the previous scene.

Logically speaking, as the president's daughter, Yang Qiyue's status is extremely respected. A mere Fuso ambassador would not dare to do such an excessive thing to her.

But recently, the Northern Xinjiang government has been discussing the arms business and the import of industrial production equipment with Fuso.

Today's China's industry is extremely backward and can only imitate some simple rifles. This is an embarrassing situation that is difficult for China to break at present. The previous Qing Empire, which closed its doors to the outside world, made the entire China lag behind the West for more than half a century, resulting in the current situation where China is facing the situation of being beaten because of its backwardness.

The Northern Xinjiang government is trying to introduce technology, production equipment and talents from Fuso, so this little Japanese has something to rely on. He thinks that even if you are the president's daughter, you will not refuse if I invite you to dance.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qiyue's character was so tough. Her straightforward refusal made Yamaguchi Eita angry and embarrassed.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, I didn't expect you to be such a rude person. A small country is a small country, and you really don't have any manners at all."

Duan Jiahui looked at Yamaguchi Hideta and spoke coldly.

Yang Jiakai and Pang Jinghong arrived at the same time. Because of the constant music, it covered up the noise here, and the other guests had not noticed what was happening here for the time being.

Yamaguchi Hideta looked at Yang Jiakai proudly and said, "President Yang, your daughter is so uneducated! I invited her to dance with me, but she actually threw wine at me. I think we should put the deal between Fuso and the Northern Frontier government on hold for now."

Yang Jiakai comforted Yang Qiyue with an unpleasant expression, and then responded straightforwardly: "This is not a reason for you to be unrestrained at the dinner party!"

While persuading Yamaguchi Hideta, the old fox Pang Jinghong explained to Yang Jiakai: "Mr. Yamaguchi was only sincerely inviting Miss Yang to dance. It may be abrupt, but Miss Yang's reaction was too intense."

After Duan Jiahui's explanation, Su Zhengyang understood why this Japanese devil dared to be so arrogant in the face of Yang Jiakai. He strode forward and said to Yamaguchi Yingtian unceremoniously: "We don't welcome you here. Now, immediately, get out with your lackeys!"
