Special Assistant Yang's forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat when he thought about how he was the one who revised the rules.
He thought about how the document came from Huo Shaoheng and implicated Gu Nianzhi's inaction. Even Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to swallow his pride and not make a fuss about it.
Because Huo Shaoheng dared to act up for Gu Nianzhi, Special Assistant Yang could instantly label Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi as "bullies" and ask for sympathy from Speaker Long.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital knew that Speaker Long hated people in high positions who abused their power for personal gain and bullied others.
As long as Huo Shaoheng had this impression in Speaker Long's mind, not only would his future be in danger, but Speaker Long would also never groom Gu Nianzhi as his successor.
It was originally a plan to kill many birds with one stone. How could it fail because of the "rules"?!
No, he couldn't let this happen …
Special Assistant Yang's eyes flashed and he laughed. "You can't say that. The rules are dead, but people are alive. At this critical juncture, it's necessary to act according to the situation. "
As Special Assistant Yang spoke, he secretly glanced at Speaker Long's expression. Seeing that he seemed to be nodding slightly, he immediately calmed down.
Thinking about Huo Shaoheng, Special Assistant Yang suddenly had an idea and said, "For example, Major General Huo's Special Operations Forces are absolutely not allowed to intervene in domestic affairs. But this time, due to the urgency of the election, they were allowed to intervene in domestic affairs and monitor the election. Look, isn't this the best example? "
Although Gu Nianzhi was calmly looking in Speaker Long's direction, she had been observing Special Assistant Yang's expression from the corner of her eye.
Seeing that he had instantly come up with an excuse to shift the blame to himself, Gu Nianzhi smiled and looked up at Special Assistant Yang.
Ignoring Special Assistant Yang's rejection, Gu Nianzhi persistently said, "Special Assistant Yang, don't get sidetracked. Let's first talk about the issue of documents in the Senate Secretariat. Tell me, is there a rule or not? If there is a rule, then according to the rule, who should be sending this document? "
Special Assistant Yang swallowed and couldn't say a word.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Special Assistant Yang's expression and deduced logically, "… Why is Special Assistant Yang sweating so much? Don't tell me that according to the rules, this document should be sent by Special Assistant Yang?! "
The smile on Speaker Long's face gradually disappeared. He also looked at Special Assistant Yang, but when he saw how tongue-tied Special Assistant Yang was, he didn't say anything to reprimand him.
Gu Nianzhi averted her gaze from Speaker Long's face and said with a smile, "If Special Assistant Yang doesn't object, then my guess is correct. According to regulations, this document should be delivered by Special Assistant Yang personally. That's more like it! After all, it's an important document from Major General Huo of the Special Operations Forces, so it must be sent to Special Assistant Yang, who holds the highest position in our Secretariat, right? "
Special Assistant Yang glared at Gu Nianzhi. He suddenly realized that it was wrong for him to speak, but it was also wrong for him to remain silent.
Her words were stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down. He wished he could find a hole to bury himself in.
However, Gu Nianzhi wasn't going to let him off the hook. She continued to say with a smile, "That means that it's your own fault that this document wasn't delivered to Speaker Long in time for his signature. You didn't take the blame for anyone, especially not me, right?"
Special Assistant Yang made an indistinct noise in his throat. His entire body was puffed up with anger, and his cheeks were protruding. He looked like Ouyang Feng who was practicing the toad technique …
Gu Nianzhi continued, "Let's take a step back and do as Special Assistant Yang said. It's an emergency, so we don't have to follow regulations. Then let's first talk about the Special Operations Forces' interference in the surveillance of the interim election. "
"What's there to talk about? Miss Gu, this isn't something you can comment on. It's better to watch your words and actions. "
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had come back to him, Special Assistant Yang felt like he had come back to life again. His cheeks were full of joy.
He had never thought highly of Gu Nianzhi from the beginning. He always felt that she had achieved her current success because of men and not because of herself.
In court, Gu Nianzhi relied on her awesome mentor, He Zhichu.
In life, of course, Gu Nianzhi relied on her "ex-boyfriend," Huo Shaoheng …
Thinking of this, Special Assistant Yang pouted disapprovingly. He was even more displeased with Huo Shaoheng.
Of course, Gu Nianzhi wasn't the type of person who would shut up just because you told her to.
Even if Huo Shaoheng ordered her like this in front of her, she wouldn't listen obediently.
Moreover, it was only Special Assistant Yang.
Gu Nianzhi secretly glanced at Speaker Long. Seeing that his expression was becoming more and more serious, she continued to beat him when he was down. "Since Special Assistant Yang is using the Special Operations Forces' temporary operation as a comparison, then let's talk about it in detail."
Special Assistant Yang took a deep breath and immediately interrupted her impatiently. "Is the Special Operations Forces' business something you can talk about? I already said there's no need to talk anymore. Do you not understand human language? "
"Of course I understand human language. I don't understand non-human language." Gu Nianzhi's expression turned cold.
Speaker Long hadn't even said anything, but Special Assistant Yang had repeatedly stopped her from talking. He was really too uncultured.
Gu Nianzhi didn't stand on ceremony with him anymore. She looked at Speaker Long and said, "Speaker Long, the first day I came here, I saw the information distributed by the Senate. It said that this time, the Special Operations Forces could monitor the temporary election because General Ji, Speaker Long, and many cabinet ministers jointly invited them. The Special Operations Forces also had permission signed by various ministers, General Ji, and Speaker Long. So they can legally make an exception and intervene in domestic affairs, right? "
Speaker Long nodded and said calmly, "Of course. Otherwise, why would Shaoheng accept this mission?"
That would be overstepping his authority and also illegal. Huo Shaoheng would never do that.
This was also the reason why Speaker Long agreed to let Huo Shaoheng take charge of the Special Operations Forces.
Because he could fully trust him, Speaker Long believed that Huo Shaoheng wouldn't disregard the law and principles because of "urgent matters."
After Gu Nianzhi received confirmation from Speaker Long, she immediately turned to Special Assistant Yang and said sharply, "But Special Assistant Yang, what about you? For such an important document, you say 'urgent matters.' May I ask who authorized it and where? Who gave you permission to 'urgent matters'?! Or was it just you, Special Assistant Yang, who said 'urgent matters' and 'urgent matters'? "
"Matters of the Secretariat, you can let whoever you want to do it, regardless of the rules and even the wishes of Speaker Long?! Special Assistant Yang, may I ask if the Secretariat of the Senate is your Secretariat or Speaker Long's Secretariat?! "
Gu Nianzhi was one step away from pointing a finger at Special Assistant Yang's nose and accusing him of making Speaker Long a figurehead …
Speaker Long's eyes darkened as he looked at Special Assistant Yang, who was already sweating profusely, and said calmly, "Nianzhi has a point. We are the Senate, the legislature. If we don't act according to the laws and regulations and always' urgent matters', then what's the point of having an institution like us? We should just disband as soon as possible. "
These words couldn't be any more harsh.
Special Assistant Yang almost fainted from Speaker Long's words.
He trembled as he stood up, took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket, and kept wiping the sweat off his forehead as he stammered, "Speaker … Speaker Long, it's not like that. I … I … We've really been too busy. We've been up all night … "
"Busy? Who isn't busy? Special Assistant Yang just said that I only know how to use my phone here. Can I request for the surveillance footage of this office to see how long I've been using my phone for the past two days? "Gu Nianzhi sneered." Also, how can you forget your job just because you're busy? Special Assistant Yang is really good at double standards. "
"If someone doesn't send the document for signature, then it means that they're 'picky about their work,' 'unable to coordinate with their colleagues' work arrangements, 'and are directly trying to kick them out."
"When it's your turn to not send the document for signature, then it means that you're in the right because you're busy, and it's excusable for you to forget your responsibilities. In short, Special Assistant Yang is the most powerful person in the Senate Secretariat. Those who obey you will prosper, and those who oppose you will perish. "
"You're lying!" Special Assistant Yang was anxious, and he wanted to cover Gu Nianzhi's mouth. "When did I ever say that those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish?! Don't slander me! "
"I never say things that I don't have evidence." Gu Nianzhi stretched out her finger and shook it. "Speaker Long is right here. Not only did I hear everything you said, but Speaker Long also heard it."
Gu Nianzhi decided that she might as well go all the way with Special Assistant Yang.
This bastard wasn't going to reconcile with her anyway, so she might as well put the conflict between them directly in front of Speaker Long.
If Special Assistant Yang dared to continue making things difficult for her, she wouldn't hesitate to put it back on him and let him have a taste of what it was like to be in a pinch!
Speaker Long was well aware of Special Assistant Yang's problems, but in the spirit of "no one is perfect," he tolerated it all.
As long as he didn't make any major mistakes, Speaker Long would just smile and not say anything. Until this time, Special Assistant Yang actually played politics even more aggressively in front of him …
So it turned out that his tolerance had allowed Special Assistant Yang to do whatever he wanted in the Senate Secretariat?!
Speaker Long's dissatisfaction with Special Assistant Yang had finally reached a critical point, but in front of Gu Nianzhi, he wouldn't directly embarrass Special Assistant Yang.
Raising his hand, Speaker Long said to Gu Nianzhi in a friendly manner, "Nianzhi, go out and work first. Come to my office later and we'll have a chat. "
"Okay, go ahead." Gu Nianzhi stood up and nodded to Speaker Long before turning to leave Speaker Long's office. She didn't even look at Special Assistant Yang.
Special Assistant Yang watched as Gu Nianzhi left Speaker Long's office and the door quietly closed. Only then did he cry bitterly to Speaker Long, expressing that he was in the wrong and hoped that Speaker Long would punish him.
Speaker Long looked at him and sighed slightly. "Special Assistant Yang, you've been by my side for ten years, and I don't think I've ever been a strict boss. But now it seems that I've actually harmed you by not being strict."
Special Assistant Yang's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly said, "Speaker Long, it's my fault. I've let you down. You can punish me, no matter how you punish me. Demotion, pay cut, I'll accept it all. As long as you let me continue to work for you, I'll even stop taking a salary! "
Speaker Long looked at him with pity and said, "You're really too tired. This little bit of work has already made you so exhausted that you've forgotten the most important thing. I think you should take a long break and rest first. "
"What?!" Special Assistant Yang looked up at Speaker Long as if he had lost his parents. "How can I take a break when I'm so busy right now?!"
Speaker Long's expression changed slightly, and he nodded with a smile. "So I don't even have the right to ask my subordinates to take a break? Special Assistant Yang, Nianzhi was right. "
