Gu Nianzhi thought about how Huo Shaoheng had asked Fan Jian to send her away right after the cyber war ended two nights ago. Then, Huo Shaoheng had disappeared as well.
But this time, she didn't chase after people to ask about Huo Shaoheng's whereabouts like she did in Germany.
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. That was exactly what she was talking about …
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and couldn't help walking up to them. "Are the two of you here to wait for Speaker Long? Please wait in the guest room over there. Once Speaker Long's meeting is over, he will be able to see the two of you immediately. "
No matter what, Gu Nianzhi planned to send the two of them away first and then find a way to get some information out of Tan Guiren.
Hong Kangquan looked at Gu Nianzhi coldly and ignored her. He frowned at Special Assistant Zhuang. "Give me an exact time."
Tan Guiren felt that Hong Kangquan was being too rude and asked Gu Nianzhi embarrassedly, "Miss Gu, are you here to see Speaker Long as well?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. "I am an intern here. I am responsible for entertaining you." Then, she turned to Special Assistant Zhuang and said, "Secretary Zhuang, how about we invite Director Hong and Miss Tan to sit in the guest room over there?"
Special Assistant Zhuang was only a special assistant. He was still a step away from becoming a secretary.
However, when Gu Nianzhi called him that, it touched his heart.
Reaching the position of Secretary in the Secretariat was the highest he could go.
Special Assistant Yang had been a special assistant for five years and still hadn't advanced to become a secretary.
Special Assistant Zhuang nodded with a smile. "Nianzhi, help entertain Director Hong and Miss Tan. I will go check on Speaker Long's situation."
Hong Kangquan had no choice. Seeing that Tan Guiren had already followed Gu Nianzhi to the guest room, he had no choice but to follow.
Gu Nianzhi and Tan Guiren acted like they knew each other very well. She smiled and asked quietly, "Miss Tan, what time did you have an appointment with Speaker Long?"
"Nine o 'clock." Tan Guiren frowned slightly. "Actually, it's still ten minutes away. I don't know why Director Hong is in such a hurry. "
Gu Nianzhi replied, "Oh." She didn't dare compliment Director Hong's character anymore.
She curled her lips almost imperceptibly and led Tan Guiren into the guest room. Originally, she had wanted to get some information out of her, but she saw Hong Kangquan follow her in and say to her rudely, "Miss Gu, can you go see if Speaker Long's meeting is over? We have our own matters to attend to, but you can't meet us on time. "
Gu Nianzhi wasn't so polite to Hong Kangquan. She turned around and asked calmly, "Director Hong, may I ask what time Speaker Long arranged to meet with you?"
Hong Kangquan paused for a moment and said, "Nine o 'clock." He raised his wrist and pointed at his watch. "Look, what time is it now?"
"Ten minutes to nine." Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "The agreed time hasn't arrived yet. I don't understand why Director Hong is complaining that our Speaker Long is not punctual."
"… Just ten minutes." Hong Kangquan's face darkened. He realized that this insignificant intern had such a glib tongue that he was able to throw a bucket of dirty water at him.
He clasped his hands behind his back in displeasure. "When did I ever complain about Speaker Long being unpunctual? Don't take it out of context. "
Gu Nianzhi shrugged. "You just said it yourself, 'You have an appointment, but you can't meet us on time.' Isn't that complaining that our Speaker Long is unpunctual? Actually, you are the one who is unpunctual … "
Hong Kangquan finally remembered who Gu Nianzhi was. He couldn't help squinting. "Aren't you the girl under Huo Shaoheng's guardianship? Why are you interning at the Senate? I remember that you studied law? "
"Director Hong has a good memory." Gu Nianzhi mocked him with a half-smile. "Huo Shao is no longer my guardian. Your memory must have stopped at seven years ago, right? Besides, I have already graduated with a master's degree. It's only right for me to intern at the Senate. "
Hong Kangquan was displeased by Gu Nianzhi's retort. He pursed his lips and ignored her. He sat on the sofa alone and picked up the newspaper on the coffee table in front of him to flip through it.
Tan Guiren didn't like the atmosphere there. She stood up and asked Gu Nianzhi, "Miss Gu, may I ask if there is a bathroom here?"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. This was a good opportunity. She quickly said, "It's not far from here. I'll take Miss Tan there."
Tan Guiren nodded. "Thank you."
Hong Kangquan's entire face was hidden behind the newspaper, so Gu Nianzhi couldn't see his face at all.
Gu Nianzhi didn't care about Hong Kangquan's attitude. She took Tan Guiren out, turned left, and walked straight. After two turns, they arrived at the women's bathroom.
Once the door was closed, there would be no surveillance.
Gu Nianzhi waited for Tan Guiren to go in before opening each cubicle in the bathroom to make sure there was no one else there. She smiled and asked, "Miss Tan, did Speaker Long ask you to come alone or with Director Hong?"
Tan Guiren entered a cubicle and locked the door. She took care of her own business before coming out. As she washed her hands, she said to Gu Nianzhi, "I don't know about Director Hong's situation. I heard that Speaker Long personally called me and asked me to come at nine this morning. He said he had something to ask me. "
"Then wasn't Director Hong with you?" Gu Nianzhi asked in surprise.
According to Tan Guiren, Speaker Long asked her to come alone …
Tan Guiren didn't understand what was going on either. She muttered, "I met Director Hong at the entrance of the Senate building. He said he happened to have something to see Speaker Long, so he came with me."
"So that means Speaker Long only asked you to come alone." Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she laughed.
Hong Kangquan was such a dramatic person. He even wanted to ride on Tan Guiren's coattails …
From his tone just now, Gu Nianzhi thought it was Speaker Long who asked him to come!
He was still muttering to himself, not understanding how the two of them got together …
So she hadn't been wrong. Someone was trying to ride on someone else's coattails.
Gu Nianzhi handed Tan Guiren a tissue to wipe her hands and asked with a smile, "Speaker Long asked you to come here because he wanted you to work in the Senate's secretariat? That's how I was' tricked 'by Speaker Long to come here. "
Tan Guiren also smiled and took the tissue to wipe her hands. She threw it in the trash can and said, "I don't have Miss Gu's skills. I only know how to play the violin. Speaker Long wouldn't want me to work here. Speaker Long asked me to come here today because he wanted to ask me about how I was rescued by Major General Huo in the United States. "
Gu Nianzhi's heart tightened, but she maintained a curious smile on her face. "Oh? Why would Speaker Long ask about it? Major General Huo's mission was highly confidential. Also, didn't Huo Shao write a report to them after he returned? "
Tan Guiren also frowned when she said that.
She recalled that Huo Shaoheng had said almost the same thing to her in the United States, especially when he had met with that "American."
"I don't know about that either. Actually, I don't know much about Major General Huo in the United States. In short, I'll answer whatever Speaker Long asks. If I can't answer, then I'll just shut up. "Tan Guiren's thinking was very simple.
Gu Nianzhi thought that as long as Hong Kangquan wasn't around, it would be better for her to accompany Speaker Long and listen to Tan Guiren talk about the United States.
Who knew when this silly girl would say something inappropriate?
Gu Nianzhi didn't dare take the risk.
At that moment, she was glad that she had come to work today.
Otherwise, she didn't know what kind of big mistake would have occurred.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It was only two minutes to nine.
She simply grabbed Tan Guiren's arm. "It's almost time. I'll take you to see Speaker Long."
Tan Guiren froze for a moment. She walked forward with Gu Nianzhi holding her arm. Confused, she said, "But Director Hong is still in the reception room …"
"Speaker Long didn't invite Director Hong, so of course I'll take you to see Speaker Long first." Gu Nianzhi insisted that Hong Kangquan hadn't received an invitation from Speaker Long and didn't give him any chance to explain.
By the time Hong Kangquan was restless in the reception room and realized that it was already ten minutes past nine, Gu Nianzhi had already brought Tan Guiren to stand in front of Speaker Long's desk.
