Chapter 585 - 0587: A Few Hours
Minister Zheng cleared his throat, his voice pulling Mu Bingtong back to reality.
"President Mu, aren’t you going to introduce this person?" Minister Zheng said with a peculiar tone.
Mu Bingtong’s gaze toward Minister Zheng turned indifferent, unlike the small woman’s shyness she displayed when speaking with Chu Ge earlier; now she bore a strong attitude, "What introduction? Didn’t you already know his identity just now?"
As a minister of the industrial and commercial sector, Zheng had long been accustomed to the flattery and sycophancy of those companies. It was only Mu Bingtong who treated him with such cold indifference. Previously, he believed Mu Bingtong was nothing but a cold beauty high above everyone else, utterly clueless about how to interact with others, let alone the dark arts of the underworld.
But just now, he witnessed on Mu Bingtong’s icy face an expression only a small woman would have, a coquettish charm unique to women.
It turns out she wasn’t incapable of acting coquettish or being tender; it’s just that all her tenderness and coquettishness were reserved for another person.
Naturally, Minister Zheng felt agitated, "President Mu, I think it’s necessary to handle this by the book."
Finishing his words, without waiting for Mu Bingtong to ponder their implication, he turned to the people inspecting the accounts and said, "All of you, take all the account books that need to be taken back for review, and due to related requirements, this Chief Financial Officer needs to come with us."
This last sentence was what he truly intended to say. Minister Zheng’s cold eyes looked at Chu Ge, thinking: Little punk, trying to fight me!
Hearing that Minister Zheng wanted to take Chu Ge away, Mu Bingtong immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Ge, "Minister Zheng, you have no right to take Chu Ge away."
Minister Zheng slightly narrowed his eyes, the corners of his lips curling into a cold smirk, "No right? He’s suspected of tax evasion; how do I not have the right to take him away?"
