Just as Gu Nianzhi expected, the image of Speaker Long angrily reprimanding Prime Minister Tan was broadcasted on all major TV stations. The online media also swarmed in to show footage of the three people from the Office of the Prime Minister's Office causing trouble in the Senate.
Of course, this was all obtained from surveillance footage. With Speaker Long's tacit approval, he sent some screenshots to all major news organizations.
The surveillance footage of Gu Nianzhi being "beaten" by the other party was carefully selected by Yin Shixiong and sent to the TV stations.
In this screenshot, Gu Nianzhi only showed a blurry side profile, but the strength and momentum of the other party's attack was fully displayed.
With a wave of his thick arm, the palm-sized hard notepad whistled through the air and slapped the fair cheek of the woman across from him.
Then, her fair face swelled up at a speed almost visible to the naked eye …
It had to be said that Yin Shixiong was also someone who wanted to stir up trouble when the world was not in chaos.
The screenshot he took was practically a vivid display of the ferocity of the spokesperson from the Office of the Prime Minister, as well as the weakness and pitifulness of the new female staff member in the Senate …
Yin Shixiong only sent this screenshot of the actual beating to one news organization — the national TV station.
Although Cai Songyin had a great reputation and connections in the media, when faced with this kind of news, even Speaker Long, who was always cheerful and never turned hostile, was filled with righteous indignation, all major news outlets chose to focus on reporting this matter and didn't agree to Cai Songyin's urgent PR request.
She asked these media outlets to give up on broadcasting this piece of news and promised many benefits in the future.
But first, everyone knew that her husband's position as Prime Minister was in danger, so these promises were originally castles in the air.
Second, although the Cais outshone the others in the media industry, they didn't reach the point where they could cover the sky with one hand.
So when they saw that Tan Dongbang was about to step down and the Cais and Tans were unable to protect themselves, the Cais' former rivals and adversaries all rushed to the media to fight for power.
After some fighting, the news of the spokesperson from the Office of the Prime Minister beating up a female staff member in the Senate became the hottest news. It was almost as hot as the interim election.
…
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi had just walked out of the office of the best facial surgeon in the Imperial Capital with Huo Shaoheng.
Speaker Long didn't go in. Instead, he sat on a bench outside the door and was browsing the news on his phone.
When he looked up and saw Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng come out, Speaker Long quickly put away his phone and stood up.
Gu Nianzhi was actually more worried that her injury would heal overnight.
It was a good thing that Huo Shaoheng had mentioned that they had a specialist doctor at the military base during the checkup. After the doctor had done a thorough examination, he prescribed three days' worth of medication and sent the medical records to Chen Lie.
So for the rest of the time, all Chen Lie had to do was give her a certificate.
Since it was her face that was swollen, Huo Shaoheng had already prepared a mask that could cover most of her face. She would wear the mask every day for half a month before taking it off.
Everyone knew that her face was swollen from the slap, but they didn't have to lift her mask to see her make a fool of herself, right?
If there really was such a senseless person, Gu Nianzhi would definitely make him question his life.
Therefore, she wasn't worried at all and happily put on the mask. She even complained to Huo Shaoheng, "Why didn't you find a nicer mask? It's black and white, it makes me look like a panda. "
Huo Shaoheng asked, "Aren't pandas nice?"
"Pandas are nice, but they don't look good on my face," Gu Nianzhi said honestly. She took out a small makeup mirror and frowned.
Huo Shaoheng patted her shoulder. "Alright, it's only for half a month. Don't make a fuss."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Speaker Long saw Gu Nianzhi put on a large mask and felt sorry for her. "Nianzhi, I'm so sorry. It's your first day at work, and you're already in this state. But I promise you, the Senate is very safe. This is an exception! Definitely an exception! "
No one had ever caused trouble in his territory. This was the first time, and it would also be the last.
Although Speaker Long was always smiling and looked much more amiable than General Ji, no one could ignore him. If Speaker Long was purely a nice guy, how could he have been the Speaker of the Senate for more than 20 years?!
He just didn't expect that Gu Nianzhi, one of his most promising successors, would be the "first."
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything. Huo Shaoheng stood beside her and said dryly to Speaker Long, "Speaker Long, Nianzhi grew up with me. In all these years, no one has ever laid a finger on her."
Speaker Long was a bit embarrassed but still tried to convince Huo Shaoheng. "Shaoheng, I said today was an exception. I didn't expect Tan Dongbang to even use this kind of trick. I underestimated his shamelessness. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled. It seemed that Speaker Long had still downplayed Special Assistant Yang's actions …
It made sense to push all the blame to the Office of the Prime Minister, but it wasn't completely correct.
The troublemaking trio from the Office of the Prime Minister had already been causing trouble in the Senate for two days. For the past two days, Special Assistant Yang had allowed them to cause trouble without taking any concrete measures. In the end, he had even sent her, an intern who had just started working at the Senate, to deal with it. Shouldn't this kind of behavior be investigated?
It was either malfeasance or incompetence. He had to choose one.
She looked at Huo Shaoheng with dissatisfaction and wanted nothing more than to criticize Special Assistant Yang in front of Speaker Long.
Huo Shaoheng's fierce gaze immediately stopped her.
Gu Nianzhi pouted and lowered her head to look at the small paper bag in her hand. Inside was the medicine that the gentle female doctor had prescribed for her.
Huo Shaoheng finally said to Speaker Long, "Speaker Long is still very far-sighted. You asked General Ji for help because you were prepared for a rainy day."
Speaker Long laughed. "Shaoheng, I didn't expect you to know how to flatter people too!"
"I don't flatter people. I've always been a man of my word. "Huo Shaoheng spoke so righteously that even Gu Nianzhi was almost intimidated by him.
Speaker Long raised his hand and patted Huo Shaoheng's shoulder vigorously. "Shaoheng, it's fortunate that you came this time. Otherwise, the one who would be bombarded by the news would be me, Old Long!"
Thinking about it made him feel a lingering fear. If they had handled the problem the same way they had in the past, the Senate would have been the ones being denounced by the entire nation in the news media …
Perhaps it wouldn't be the Cabinet that would be disbanded first. Instead, it would be the Senate that would be disbanded and the Senate would be elected first.
Speaker Long only felt his back become drenched in sweat.
"Speaker Long, you're still here? The national television station wants to do a live interview with you. Hurry back to the Senate! "Special Assistant Yang ran over, panting, to take Speaker Long back to the Senate building.
Speaker Long nodded solemnly and turned to Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, do you want me to give you a few days off to recuperate?"
Special Assistant Yang also quickly said apologetically, "Nianzhi, I'm really sorry for today. I've made you suffer. You were beaten up in the Senate, so it's considered a work injury. The medical expenses will be reimbursed. Just give me the list. "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Don't I have medical insurance? I used it to see it today. " She then said to Speaker Long, "Speaker Long, this injury is nothing. I'll go back and rest for half a day. I'll go back to work as usual tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"Of course, I couldn't ask for more." Speaker Long was very happy and waved at her. "Then I'll trouble Shaoheng to take you home. Is that okay? I'll see you tomorrow! "
"Okay! Speaker Long, I'll see you tomorrow! "Gu Nianzhi also smiled and waved goodbye.
"Oh … Yes, I have medical insurance. I almost forgot." Special Assistant Yang smiled awkwardly and nodded to Huo Shaoheng. He escorted Speaker Long out of the hospital.
Gu Nianzhi watched their figures disappear into the corridor before looking up to ask Huo Shaoheng, "Why didn't you let me speak just now?"
"What do you want to say? Complain? " Huo Shaoheng walked unhurriedly to the elevator. "No matter how bad Special Assistant Yang is, he's still worked in the Senate for nearly ten years. You're not thinking of removing him from office just because of this, are you? "
