Tan Guiren drove her pink-blue Bentley sports car to a stop near the Senate building.
The entrance to the Senate building was almost completely surrounded by all the major media organizations.
She got out of the car and looked around silently for a long time, but couldn't find a way to sneak in.
She would be recognized as soon as she passed by those people.
It would be impossible to find Gu Nianzhi then.
Tan Guiren looked down to take out her phone and rubbed it a few times before swiping it open to find Gu Nianzhi's number.
She had never called Gu Nianzhi before, but she had to make an exception this time.
…
Gu Nianzhi sat in her seat and looked at the materials.
The Secretariat had an office area on the upper floor of the Senate building.
Interns and junior secretaries were all in the lobby, and only senior secretaries and above had their own individual offices.
Gu Nianzhi didn't sit for long before her phone rang.
She picked it up to see it was an unfamiliar number.
Gu Nianzhi smiled immediately.
The person she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
However, she didn't answer the call immediately. Instead, she calmly closed her computer and carried her small bag before leaving the office area to answer the call in the rest area.
Tan Guiren called twice before Gu Nianzhi finally picked up.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?" Gu Nianzhi asked directly.
Tan Guiren replied somewhat awkwardly, "I am Tan Guiren. Miss Gu, is it convenient for you? There are some things I would like to discuss with you. "
"Miss Tan Guiren? Why are you looking for me? You can tell me over the phone. " Gu Nianzhi purposely acted nonchalant and didn't eagerly agree to Tan Guiren's request.
Although that was her true goal.
If Tan Guiren still didn't call or come to find her today, she planned to take the initiative and talk to Tan Guiren.
As expected, Tan Guiren became even more anxious. "Miss Gu, I really came to apologize. When are you free? I can wait. "
Gu Nianzhi pretended to look at her phone. "How about I check my work schedule."
What kind of work schedule did an intern have?
Her words could only fool a sheltered flower like Tan Guiren.
However, Tan Guiren believed her without a doubt and immediately said, "Sure, go ahead. I'll wait."
Gu Nianzhi waited for another five minutes before saying to Tan Guiren on the other end of the line, "I have half an hour to eat around 11 in the afternoon. Can you wait?"
There was still an hour before 11 o 'clock.
Tan Guiren quickly nodded. "No problem. Where shall we meet?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at her phone. There were restaurants and cafes in the Senate building, so she didn't want to talk about this outside. She was worried that the walls had ears and it would be difficult to control.
The parliament building was different.
It was safe, and the surveillance was limited to the work area.
Coffee shops and restaurants were considered non-working areas, so there were no surveillance cameras.
"How about this, you come in from the back door around 11 o 'clock, and I'll ask the guard to open the door for you." As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she sent an email to the security guard at the back door of the building and asked him to let Tan Guiren in.
After arranging everything, Gu Nianzhi put down her phone and wrote a few summaries. Soon, it was 11 o 'clock.
She stood up, put on her small bag, and went downstairs to the cafe downstairs.
It was still early for lunch, but breakfast had already been sold out, so the entire living area was quiet.
Gu Nianzhi sat by the window in the cafe and saw Tan Guiren arrive not long after.
Pulling out a chair and sitting across from Gu Nianzhi, Tan Guiren asked apologetically, "Did you wait long?"
Gu Nianzhi hated this kind of idiotic small talk, but she didn't hit someone who was smiling at her. Also, she wanted to get information from Tan Guiren, so she couldn't just start a fight …
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. "We set it at 11 o 'clock. I just came down."
Tan Guiren looked at her enviously and said, "Punctuality is a king's virtue. You are very punctual."
Although she knew Tan Guiren didn't have any ill intentions, Gu Nianzhi still felt like she deserved a beating when she said that.
What did she mean by "you are very punctual," Miss Guiren?!
Didn't you ask me out?!
Didn't we agree to meet at the cafe at 11 o 'clock?!
So I'm the only one abiding by these words!
Gu Nianzhi tolerated it and picked up the milk and meat floss cake she ordered for Tan Guiren.
When the food arrived, Tan Guiren was very surprised. "Miss Gu, how did you know I was hungry?" She then asked, "Where's yours?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She didn't know. She was just making deductions based on common sense.
It was almost lunchtime, so even if Tan Guiren had eaten breakfast when she came over, she should be hungry by now.
Tan Guiren hadn't eaten breakfast at all today.
Therefore, Tan Guiren didn't hesitate to pick up her knife and fork to drink the milk and eat the meat floss cake.
Gu Nianzhi chatted with her on and off until she finished drinking the milk and eating the meat floss cake. Gu Nianzhi finally asked, "Miss Tan, did you need me for something?"
Tan Guiren nodded. "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Gu Nianzhi raised a brow. "Why are you apologizing to me?"
"It's like this. I'm also very sorry that you were accidentally injured yesterday. I'm really sorry. "Tan Guiren stood up and bowed to Gu Nianzhi in apology.
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand to lower it. Only a pair of bright eyes could be seen through the mask on her face.
"It wasn't you who did it. You don't have to apologize." Gu Nianzhi paused before continuing, "But I can't be beaten for nothing."
Tan Guiren's heart tightened. She placed her hands on her lap and almost twisted them into a ball as she muttered, "But I believe Mr. Cao didn't mean it. Can't you just be merciful and let this matter go? "
Mr. Cao was one of the troublemakers from the Office of the Prime Minister's Public Relations Office. He was originally handed over to the police station by Huo Shaoheng, but he was bailed out by the Office of the Prime Minister early that morning.
"You believe he didn't mean it, but I don't believe it. Tan Guiren, if you had experienced what I went through, you would know that verbal apologies are the most useless. " Gu Nianzhi touched her mask. "I'm a perfectly fine person, and I was almost disfigured by him. Tell me, how can I take this lying down?!"
Tan Guiren's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Nianzhi and quickly said, "I know you're very sad and in pain, but these things are already in the past. Even if you let him go to jail, you can't possibly get back at him for that slap!"
Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to look at Tan Guiren and said in legal jargon, "Justice may be late, but it's never absent. The justice I want is according to the law. Those who should be jailed will be jailed, those who should be fined will be fined, and those who should be executed will be executed. I don't mean anything else. "
Tan Guiren became even more nervous. She bit her lip and thought about it for a while before saying, "But you can sue Mr. Cao. Why do you have to drag my dad and mom into this? They didn't hit you."
