"Is this enough? Do you want another fight? You could have just moved your car. Why did you have to go this far?" Daisy stepped aside. Mark had moved the BMW standing in their way. Now, the cars behind could finally move forward.
"Which army do you serve? I'll tell your leader that you abuse your power!" The middle-aged man had been reduced to absolute inferiority now, so he became angry and red-faced.
"I'm Daisy Ouyang from the garrison headquarters in the S City. You can complain against me to anyone you want." Daisy sneered. Another report? Hank had impeached her last time. The man now threatened to complain against her. Daisy felt star-crossed.
"Colonel, I have also parked our car. Should we go back now?" Mark ran over, but didn't look at the middle-aged man. Michelle who was standing there attracted his attention. He wondered how Daisy knew this tomboy as she was totally different from Daisy in appearance and character.
"You can't leave. You have to compensate me." The middle-aged man turned to Daisy, and ignored Michelle who hit his car. He was sure that Daisy couldn't do anything to him in public.
"Hey, you should turn to me for compensation. Why are you asking for compensation from Sister Colonel?" Michelle was chewing a gum. Her careless and casual manner suggested that she was a free and wild girl.
"She offended me. I won't let her go." The middle-aged man had decided to create a scene.
"Mark, call the head of the transportation department. Ask him to personally come here, and solve this problem. I want to see how he arranges this work. The traffic congestion has lasted for a couple of hours. Why isn't the traffic police here?" Daisy's eyebrows knitted in a frown. Since the middle-aged man wanted an explanation, she would satisfy him. He didn't know what the probable consequences could be if the head of the transportation department personally came to settle the dispute.
"Come on. I wasn't born yesterday. Don't try to browbeat me. How can a humble soldier like you invite the head of the transportation department here?" The man despised Daisy because he thought Daisy was a nobody. He did acquire a lot of wealth and stature, but failed to recognize Daisy.
"Our colonel thinks nothing of the head of the transportation department. Do you know who she is? She is very influential in the S City." Mark didn't exaggerate. No government officials in the city were as powerful as Daisy. They had to accept Daisy's instructions without an argument.
"Creak…" Following a long and harsh brake sound, a fiery red Maybach stopped at the roadside. Rain opened the door, and got off the car. His curly hair fell carelessly on his smooth forehead. His blue earrings looked even more dazzling under the neon light, highlighting his fascinating look against his flamboyant style.
"Mr. Xia, what brings you here? I owe you an apology for being late for the appointment. Look, I didn't lie to you. There is really a traffic congestion here." The middle-aged man let out a smile at the sight of Rain, and walked up to him flatteringly.
"Daisy, I'm so happy to see you here." Rain ignored the middle-aged man. He quickly walked up to Daisy. His smiling face had excitement written all over it.
"Hello, Rain. Did you just get off work? Or are you going to meet your girlfriend?" Daisy teased Rain. Since Edward was on holiday, Daisy would often meet Rain. He wanted to have someone to delegate his work. Edward was also included in his list.
"Daisy, don't make fun of me. You know I don't have a girlfriend." Rain stroked his nose. Whenever he felt embarrassed, he would habitually stroke his nose.
"Well, Mr. Xia, who is she?" The middle-aged man was now anxious. He wondered how the colonel knew Rain. His company had to associate with the FX International Group for survival. Any mistake could lead to severe consequences.
"Don't you know her? She is the youngest female colonel in the S City and the wife of the CEO of the FX International Group. How ignorant you are. No wonder you still run a small company only." Rain blinked with a smile. His extraordinarily beautiful looks were enough to enchant everyone.
"What? What did you say? She… She is Mrs. Mu?" Shocked, the middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat. He was no longer conceited or arrogant. The colonel turned out to be Mrs. Mu. That was why she looked so familiar to him. The man deeply regretted everything that happened today. He should have watched the news and memorized her face. Then he wouldn't have done anything to offend her.
"It's beyond the shadow of a doubt. Well, what you are doing here?" Rain suddenly thought of this matter and asked curiously.
"It's nothing serious." Daisy answered in an emotionless voice. She never made a fuss about such things.
"Yes, right. We just had a little argument with each other. It's not a big problem." The man breathed a sigh of relief as Daisy didn't pursue the matter further.
"Wow! Miss, where did you buy your earrings? They look stunning!" Michelle said in a brisk voice. She excitedly stared at Rain's ears but didn't notice that Rain pulled a long face after hearing what she said.
"What did you call me? Miss? Look at me! I'm a man! A real man!" Rain calmed his anger down and turned back. He gave the girl who dressed herself eccentrically a ferocious stare.
