Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

The warlord walked steadily to the center of the banquet hall, his sharp gaze slowly sweeping over everyone.

Just then, Jia Huai-ren in the crowd frowned slightly.

Jia Huai-ren was a prominent figure in Pingcheng and was used to being respected. The powerful aura of the warlord made him slightly unhappy.

Jia Huai-ren coughed lightly, took a step forward, and slightly raised his chin as he said:

"I was unaware that Your Excellency, the Governor-General, has graced us with your presence today. What brings you here?"

Although his words were somewhat polite, they also subtly revealed a hint of provocation.

The warlord stared coldly at Jia Huai-ren, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

“Mr. Jia, I have heard that you have considerable influence in Pingcheng. As I am new to this place, I naturally want to discuss important matters of Pingcheng with you all.”

The person who had just been thrown in struggled to lift his head, his face full of anger and defiance, and shouted loudly without regard for anything else:

"What warlord? He's nothing but a bully who abuses his power!"

These words caused an uproar in the banquet hall. Everyone looked at this reckless man in fear, and then nervously looked at the warlord, fearing that the warlord's anger would lead to terrible consequences.

The warlord's face instantly turned even colder, his eyes seeming to shoot out shards of ice.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the person on the ground. His powerful aura seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Jia Huai-ren was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be panicked and quickly said:

"Your Excellency, please calm down. This man must have lost his mind to be spouting nonsense."

But a hint of smugness flickered in his eyes, as if he were waiting to see how the warlord would handle this tricky situation.

The warlord stared intently at the man on the ground who had disrespected him, as if the air around him had frozen.

Everyone fell silent, too afraid to even breathe.

Suddenly, the warlord let out a cold snort, the sound of which resounded like thunder in the banquet hall.

He slightly raised his finger and pointed at the man, saying sternly:

"Drag him away and court-martial him!"

Immediately, several soldiers rushed forward, grabbed the man, and dragged him away.

The man struggled desperately, cursing the warlord incessantly.

His voice was shrill and desperate, as if it were a final struggle against fate.

Just then, Jia Huai-ren felt a pang of anxiety, for this man was a spy he had placed under Yun Sui-si's command.

He absolutely could not allow this man to be executed by the warlord, otherwise his entire plan might be ruined.

Jia Huai-ren hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly:

"Your Excellency, wait!"

Although this person's words were offensive, there must have been some misunderstanding. I implore Your Excellency to be lenient.

The warlord suddenly turned his head, his eyes shooting at Jia Huai-ren like sharp swords. "Mr. Jia, are you questioning my decision?"

In Pingcheng, my words are law, and no one may disobey them!

Jia Huai-ren's heart skipped a beat, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

“Your Excellency, I am not questioning your decision, but if this person has made a mistake, I, Jia, am willing to take responsibility. I beg Your Excellency to show leniency.”

"Hmph, share the burden?" The warlord laughed angrily. "My actions are none of anyone else's business."

If we don't establish our authority today, how will we govern Pingcheng in the future?

Having said that, the warlord waved his hand, and the soldiers quickened their pace in dragging the man away.

The man's curses gradually faded into the distance, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall became extremely tense.

Jia Huai-ren's eyes darted around rapidly, and he thought to himself that this was a golden opportunity.

He turned slightly to the side, getting closer to Yun Suisi, deliberately lowering his voice, but his tone was full of urgency and incitement.

"Mr. Yun, look at this, the warlord really doesn't respect you at all."

That person is the capable man you sent to me to do things.

The warlord's ruthless treatment of him is clearly a disrespect to you.

You have such prestige in Pingcheng that you can make the ground tremble with a stomp of your foot.

If we allow the military governor to act so arrogantly today, how will you establish your authority in Pingcheng in the future?

"Just think about it, he's only just arrived, and he dares to act so recklessly. What chance do those of us who have been operating in Pingcheng for years have?"

While listening to Jia Huai Ren's words, Yun Sui Si had a different plan in mind.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, because although the man was someone he had sent to work for Jia Huai Ren, some of the man's recent behavior had made him suspicious.

He even considered using the warlord to eliminate this hidden danger.

However, he needed to let everyone know that he was at odds with the warlord.

Yun Suisi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Jia Huai Ren, and slowly said:

“Mr. Jia, what you say makes some sense, but this warlord represents official power after all. If I rashly clash with him, it may bring a lot of trouble.”

Jia Huai-ren said urgently:

"Mr. Yun, what are you afraid of?"

With your deep roots in Pingcheng, are you really afraid of a newly arrived military governor?

The person who dares to treat you this way today may turn against you tomorrow.

If you don't make your stance clear now, you'll be in a passive position later.

Yun Suisi remained silent for a moment, then slightly raised his chin, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Hmph, this warlord is indeed arrogant and domineering. But I cannot be easily provoked by him."

However, this matter requires further consideration.

Jia Huai-ren quickly said:

"Mr. Yun, we can't wait any longer."

Now is the best time.

If you simply stand up and say a few words in that person's defense, that will be enough to let the warlord know that you are not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, this will also show everyone your opposition to the warlord, making those who want to side with him more cautious in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Yun Suisi finally decided to take some action.

He nodded slightly and said:

"Alright, Mr. Jia, you have a point."

Yun Suisi narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his gaze to the military governor once again.

He took a step forward, his voice steady yet carrying a hint of firmness:

“My lord, although this man has offended me, he has served under me before.”

Was the warlord's decisive action in dealing with him a bit too hasty?

I, Yun Suisi, have some influence in Pingcheng. It's probably inappropriate for the Governor-General to be so disrespectful."

The warlord stared coldly at Yun Suisi, his eyes revealing authority and oppression:

“Mr. Yun, this person has been disrespectful to me, the Governor-General. I have dealt with him in accordance with the law. Is there anything wrong with that?”

"Mr. Yun, are you perhaps challenging the authority of this warlord?"

Yun Suisi did not back down. "Your Excellency is too kind. I only hope that Your Excellency can consider the actual situation in Pingcheng and not be so arbitrary."

The warlord snorted angrily:

"I, the military governor, act with discretion."

If Mr. Yun continues to obstruct me, don't blame this warlord for being impolite.

Yun Suisi's face darkened:

"Your Excellency, are you trying to make an enemy of Yun Suisi?"

The warlord's lips curled slightly:

"If Mr. Yun insists on thinking this way, then this warlord has nothing more to say."

But here in Pingcheng, this governor's decision is not to be questioned.

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

The people around didn't dare to breathe, and the entire banquet hall seemed to be frozen.

Yun Suisi and the military governor stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, every second filled with endless tension.

However, this stalemate could not last.

Finally, Yun Suisi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode out of the banquet hall.

The warlord stood still, watching Yun Suisi's retreating figure, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

Mr. Yun?!
