Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
That was what she really thought.
However, on second thought, Huo Shaoheng's words were true wisdom.
Regardless of whether or not Special Assistant Yang was talented, he had been the head of the Senate's Secretariat for many years. Just like Secretary Cao's position beside General Ji, Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze's positions beside Huo Shaoheng, Special Assistant Yang was also Speaker Long's favorite.
Although he wasn't the only confidant, he was still one of them.
Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng into the elevator and sighed. Reaching out to press the button for the first floor, she said, "I understand. I'll be careful."
Huo Shaoheng squinted at her. "This is what you mean by being careful?"
He was so careful that his face was swollen on the first day …
Gu Nianzhi touched the right side of her face guiltily and said sheepishly, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is that it recovers too quickly."
"What's there to worry about?" Huo Shaoheng looked away. "Isn't that the truth?"
Gu Nianzhi puffed up her cheeks. "Huo Shao! You have to piss me off, right? I'm an injured patient! “
Huo Shaoheng was distracted by her coquettish grumbling. He calmed himself down for a while before saying, "I won't let you suffer, and neither will anyone else. There are many ways to vent your anger. Why did you choose this one? "
In Huo Shaoheng's opinion, harming his own body to achieve his goal was putting the cart before the horse.
What was the point of killing a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred?
Gu Nianzhi averted her eyes guiltily. "It was an emergency at the time, so I didn't know that was their plan. I thought the spokesperson of the Prime Minister's residence should have some sense of shame … "
"Don't ever think about this when you work in the Parliament." Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly. "Some people's bottom line is always moving forward. You'll never be able to wait for the day when it hits bottom."
"I understand." Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng again to make sure he still didn't know her true intentions. She sighed softly and took out her phone to play with.
…
He Zhichu had returned from his hometown for the Lunar New Year and had planned to stay in the Hua Xia Empire from then on. He would wholeheartedly pursue Gu Nianzhi and win back his fiancée, only to discover that Gu Nianzhi was already married.
The blow was like a bolt from the blue to him.
He had to restrain himself from losing his composure in front of Gu Nianzhi last night. He had to fight with Huo Shaoheng to ease the knot in his heart.
However, when he returned to his suite in the professor's building, he couldn't take it anymore and had a fever.
When he woke up from his slumber, covered in sweat, he found that it was still dark outside.
How long did he sleep?
He Zhichu picked up the watch on the bedside table and looked at it. "Eight o 'clock?"
It seemed that he had slept almost the entire day.
He remembered it was two in the morning when he went home and went to bed.
It was eight o 'clock in the evening, and he had slept for eighteen hours.
His whole body was drenched in sweat. He crawled out of the quilt and touched his forehead. He no longer had a fever, but he felt a little dizzy.
He was still very hungry.
In fact, he hadn't eaten for 24 hours.
He was so hungry that his stomach began to hurt.
He Zhichu finally got up and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. When he came out, he saw that the kitchen was empty. There wasn't even instant noodles.
He had no choice but to pick up his phone and order a sumptuous takeout for himself.
Putting down his phone, he sat on the sofa and picked up the remote control to finally turn on the curved wall-mounted TV on the opposite wall.
"… Mr. Lin, what do you think of this incident? This morning, the spokesman from the Office of the Prime Minister caused trouble in the Senate and even injured a female staff member. "
He turned on the news channel and was discussing the day's current politics with the invited political guest.
He Zhichu wasn't interested at all. He looked at the extremely attractive face coldly and changed the channel.
"… Mr. Niu, what do you think of the assault at the Senate building today?"
What was going on?
Both of the stations were showing it.
Was it rare for the Senate to fight?
It would be news if the Senate didn't fight, okay?
He Zhichu cursed in his heart. His hands were like rolling a ball wheel as he quickly flipped through all the channels.
Other than the channel that played retarded cartoons for children, almost all the channels were broadcasting the news of "a female staff member of the Senate being assaulted by the spokesman from the Office of the Prime Minister" at the Senate building.
However, they had already entered the second stage of the news, which was the stage of political analysis.
The various guests and anchors were in full swing, and the viewpoints of both sides clashed.
He Zhichu shook his head and picked up his phone to scroll through Weibo.
As expected, Weibo was also flooded with this news.
However, the difference was that the netizens on Weibo were focused on different things than the actual news.
Eight of the top ten trending topics were related to this incident.
The main style of the trending topics was this:
# Restoration of the side profile of female staff member who was assaulted in the Senate
# Female staff member who was assaulted in the Senate has legs of 2.8 meters long
# Female staff member who was assaulted in the Senate is said to be an intern
# B University Law Student — I Know Female Staff Member Who Was Assaulted in the Senate
He Zhichu was still indifferent to the first few trending topics, but his hand froze when he saw the words "intern" and "B University Law Student."
He had a bad idea.
How many B University Law Students had become interns in the Senate this year?!
He Zhichu quickly opened all the Weibo posts related to this incident.
When he saw the screenshot of the assault broadcast by the national television station, he immediately recognized that the female staff member who was assaulted was indeed Gu Nianzhi!
They had only been apart for less than a day. How could she be injured?!
He Zhichu looked at the short videos on Weibo. Other than the screenshot of the assault, the second most popular video was the one of Speaker Long and Huo Shaoheng escorting Gu Nianzhi to the ambulance.
He Zhichu finally sighed in relief when he saw Huo Shaoheng by Gu Nianzhi's side.
He lay on the back of the sofa in the corner with one arm resting on his forehead. His teeth were clenched, and the suppressed expression on his face was somewhat ferocious.
He tried hard to calm himself down before picking up his phone to call Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was currently resting in her suite in the Hepingli Precinct.
After returning home in the afternoon, she washed up and went to bed.
She had just woken up.
Huo Shaoheng had made her dinner and placed it in the fridge. She could heat it up and eat it.
As soon as she woke up, she received a call from Huo Shaoheng requesting a video chat to watch her eat dinner.
Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to agree and chat with Huo Shaoheng while eating dinner.
"Huo Shao, what are you doing?"
"I'm still at the Senate." Huo Shaoheng had already eaten dinner and was worried that Gu Nianzhi had overslept, so he made the call.
She seemed to be in good condition at the moment. Her face, which had been red and swollen during the day, had now returned to normal.
Fair, delicate, and glossy like ice porcelain. Because she had slept for the whole afternoon, her skin, which was like ice porcelain, rippled with a faint pink. It was like a few smears of pink painted on white jade ice porcelain with a meticulous brush. It reminded people of osmanthus in autumn and peach blossoms from ten miles away.
It was completely impossible to tell that she had been beaten in the morning …
If the people from the Office of the Prime Minister saw Gu Nianzhi like this, they would definitely stir up trouble …
Huo Shaoheng looked at her for a while before ending the video chat and putting on his Bluetooth headset to talk to her.
Gu Nianzhi put her phone on speakerphone and chatted with Huo Shaoheng on and off.
She only hurriedly said to Huo Shaoheng when He Zhichu called, "I have a call coming in. Huo Shao, I'll hang up now."
She hung up on Huo Shaoheng before answering He Zhichu's call.
As soon as the call connected, He Zhichu immediately said, "Nianzhi, why did you get beaten up at the Senate today? I saw the motion video screenshot and thought that you could have dodged it. What the hell are you planning? "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She could have dodged it, but if she had dodged it, how was she supposed to continue with the show?
Gu Nianzhi waited for a whole day, but that person didn't call her.
You're pretty good at keeping your cool!
However, she wasn't worried. That person would call her sooner or later.
If he didn't call, she could add fuel to the fire …
She still hadn't forgotten that her true purpose of being an intern at the Senate was to stop Cai Songyin from suing.

It was the third watch.
It was the end of the month, so she reminded her of the recommendation votes and monthly votes.
It was still the third watch.
