Huo Shaoheng turned to look at Special Assistant Yang and said calmly, "Looks like it's all Miss Gu's fault."
Special Assistant Yang smiled and spread his hands. "I didn't say that. But justice is in the hearts of people, so we'll have to ask Miss Gu when she comes to work in the morning. However, I still say that Miss Gu is an intern and a newcomer. She was just beaten up by the people from the Office of the Prime Minister for the sake of the Senate, so I definitely won't blame her. No matter what she did, I don't think Speaker Long will pursue it. Major General Huo, don't worry, she has you as her backer. If she does something wrong, I will definitely take the blame for her. She won't have any responsibility. "As he spoke, he placed his right hand on his chest and gave Huo Shaoheng a 90-degree bow.
"Special Assistant Yang, what do you mean?!" Yin Shixiong couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to slap Special Assistant Yang's hand. "Does Miss Gu have an irreconcilable grudge against you? Why are you trying to defame her like this?! "
"Colonel Yin, you have to be reasonable. When did I say anything to defame her? I want to put her on a pedestal! You all heard it just now, and the surveillance cameras also recorded it. I said that even if she did something wrong, I will take the blame for her. You can rest assured! Miss Gu will definitely be fine. If anything happens to me, I won't let anything happen to her! "
Special Assistant Yang spoke with certainty, as if he couldn't be nicer to Gu Nianzhi.
Yin Shixiong also had a sharp tongue. Seeing that Special Assistant Yang was playing word games with him, he couldn't help but fight back.
Huo Shaoheng coughed lightly. "Let's go see Speaker Long first. It's more urgent there."
Yin Shixiong could only glare at Special Assistant Yang before turning to leave the Senate building with Huo Shaoheng.
When the two of them sat in the car, Yin Shixiong said angrily, "Huo Shao, why didn't you let me continue? Why did you let him put the blame on Nianzhi?! "
Special Assistant Yang said he would take the blame for Gu Nianzhi, but it was actually a surefire way to advance.
If Gu Nianzhi was really the one who caused the trouble, and Special Assistant Yang took the blame for Gu Nianzhi, then both Huo Shaoheng and Speaker Long would owe him a favor.
If Gu Nianzhi hadn't caused the trouble, then Special Assistant Yang had purposely made things difficult for Gu Nianzhi. However, he had said that he was "taking the blame for Gu Nianzhi." Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it was Gu Nianzhi who had caused the trouble, and Special Assistant Yang, as her superior, had not pursued the matter.
He did both the good and the bad. In office politics, this kind of person was almost at the pinnacle.
Huo Shaoheng replied calmly, "This is Nianzhi's problem. Let her handle it herself."
"… But she's just an intern!" Yin Shixiong shouted. "How reassured are you?! What if Special Assistant Yang successfully shifted the blame to her? This matter can be big or small. You're not really going to let Nianzhi handle it alone, are you? "
"She wants to develop her career in the Senate, so Special Assistant Yang can be her practice partner. If she can't even handle Special Assistant Yang, she might as well become a lawyer. " Huo Shaoheng didn't want to talk about this anymore. "Call Speaker Long's house and tell them we're here to see Speaker Long."
While Yin Shixiong was making the call, Special Assistant Yang was also making a call to Speaker Long's house.
Speaker Long's house also had an office, and there were people on duty 24 hours a day.
Special Assistant Yang's call was picked up first.
He smiled and said, "Major General Huo has something to discuss with Speaker Long. Keep an eye on him and don't disturb Speaker Long's sleep."
The person on duty was also a member of the Senate's secretariat. When he heard this, he immediately said, "Got it, Special Assistant Yang. Don't worry, we will definitely ensure Speaker Long's sleep time."
…
Yin Shixiong called several times before the person on the other end picked up and asked him what was the matter.
Yin Shixiong said directly, "Major General Huo, who is supervising the interim election, has an urgent matter to discuss with Speaker Long immediately. Please pass on this to Speaker Long."
The person on the other end was very polite. "Okay, I'll pass on the message as soon as Speaker Long wakes up." He then hung up.
When Yin Shixiong called again, he couldn't get through.
"F * cking retard!" Yin Shixiong cursed under his breath and put away his phone. He said to Huo Shaoheng, "… They're on the same page as Special Assistant Yang. They said they can only see us when Speaker Long wakes up."
Huo Shaoheng didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and nodded leisurely. "Not bad. I wonder if Speaker Long knows that his subordinates have already taken over his position."
Yin Shixiong froze for a moment, then suddenly understood. "… Could this be the reason why Speaker Long is looking for a successor outside? His own secretariat is already too big to handle! "
"I'm not sure about that." Huo Shaoheng looked noncommittal. He rarely explained anything to Yin Shixiong and the others.
For a soldier, obeying orders was their duty.
What was there to explain? Would they stop if they didn't explain?
There was no such thing.
The two of them stopped talking and quickly arrived at Speaker Long's house.
Speaker Long's house was a very secluded courtyard house on Second Ring Road in the Imperial Capital. It wasn't far from Bai Jiancheng's courtyard house.
Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong got out of the car and stood in front of Speaker Long's courtyard house, waiting for Fan Jian to ring the doorbell.
After a few minutes, someone yawned and opened the door.
"What's the matter? It's the middle of the night. Can't you let me sleep? " The person opened the door while muttering. Under the dim yellow streetlight, he looked up and saw two men in military uniforms standing in front of him. He was instantly frightened, and his legs began to tremble.
"Who … Who are you looking for?" The person asked nervously. He didn't recognize who the two men were.
Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong had been to Speaker Long's house before, but it was the time when people were the most sleepy. The person didn't have enough sleep, so his IQ and memory were in a state of decline. He was instantly shocked by the two men's military uniforms.
Huo Shaoheng folded his hands behind his back and looked down at the limestone steps in front of Speaker Long's house. He didn't say a word.
Yin Shixiong stepped forward and said, "We were sent by the military. This is our Major General Huo. He has an urgent matter to see Speaker Long. "
The person was now fully awake and quickly opened the door. "Oh, it's Major General Huo! Please come in! Please come in! "
This person was the old gatekeeper of Speaker Long's house. He usually saw a lot of people, and because he only wanted to be a gatekeeper, he didn't have many conflicts of interest. Therefore, he knew the situation at the top of the imperial capital better than Special Assistant Yang.
He recognized it was Huo Shaoheng and immediately let him in without hesitation.
After entering, he took the initiative to go to the main house to find someone and ask Speaker Long to speak.
The secretary on duty in Speaker Long's secretariat remembered Special Assistant Yang's instructions and still refused to wake Speaker Long up. With a disapproving expression, she said, "It's not a big deal. Don't you know that Speaker Long doesn't sleep well? Just wait for another two hours. It's not like the sky is going to collapse. "
"The sky is not going to collapse?! Something that can make Major General Huo personally visit in the middle of the night might really collapse! "The gatekeeper was furious." You're not going to wake him? I'll go! I've been with Grandfather Long for more than forty years. Even if I disturb his sleep for an entire day, he won't do anything to me! "As he spoke, he pushed the secretary on duty away and ran straight to Speaker Long's bedroom.
The secretary on duty panicked and hurriedly said, "Hey! You can't do this! Don't you have any rules! "
However, he couldn't do anything to this sixty-year-old gatekeeper. He didn't intend to be promoted and wasn't a staff member of the Senate. As long as Speaker Long didn't blame him, his job as a gatekeeper would be secure.
He could only watch as the gatekeeper opened the door to Speaker Long's bedroom.
The person who opened the door was Speaker Long's wife.
She said unhappily, "What's wrong? Old Long is still sleeping. He had a meeting all day yesterday and only came back after ten at night. He only fell asleep when it was almost one. What's the matter? Can't you keep your voice down? "
The gatekeeper lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Long, Major General Huo is here. He said he has an urgent matter to see Speaker Long."
"Major General Huo? Which Major General Huo? Huh? You mean Major General Huo from the military?! " Mrs. Long was shocked. Her intuition told her that it wasn't a trivial matter. She immediately said, "Take him to the study. I'll go wake Old Long up."
Mrs. Long hurried back to the bedroom and pushed Speaker Long. "Old Long? Old Long? Get up, Major General Huo is here. He said he has an urgent matter to see you. "
Speaker Long suddenly opened his eyes. "Who? Is Shaoheng here? "
"Yes, I asked someone to take him to your study." Mrs. Long brought some clothes over for Speaker Long to put on. "Go quickly. Don't delay."
Speaker Long looked at his watch with a sullen expression. It was half past two in the morning.
Something big must have happened for Huo Shaoheng to come to see him at this hour.
