Speaker Long's timing was still very precise.
The regular meeting was held at 8: 30 in the morning and ended in half an hour, just in time for Tan Guiren to ask about the situation in the United States.
However, when Gu Nianzhi came in with Tan Guiren, Speaker Long was still stunned.
His gaze instinctively looked at Gu Nianzhi's face, the side of her face that had been beaten swollen by the spokesman of the Office of the Prime Minister.
Her skin was as smooth as jade and without a single blemish. Of course, there were no signs of swelling from the beating.
Speaker Long nodded with relief and said very kindly, "Nianzhi, are your injuries all healed?"
Tan Guiren's heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked at Gu Nianzhi with a pleading expression.
In order to prevent Gu Nianzhi from suing her parents, she had told her the most shameful experience of her life …
Gu Nianzhi understood what she meant and winked at her, then looked at Speaker Long with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Speaker Long. My injuries are all healed. With Dr. Chen from the military treating me, what else do you have to worry about? "
She had intentionally dragged Chen Lie out to prove that it was all thanks to the doctor that her injuries had healed so quickly and perfectly …
Speaker Long nodded in realization. "Yes, that kid Chen Lie is really amazing. Nianzhi, I'm relieved that you're fine. "
He also didn't want a beautiful girl to have her face ruined at his place.
Even if he stood up for her and sued the spokesperson who hit her, she would never be able to recover her disfigured face.
Fortunately, she was fine.
Speaker Long felt that this was the only good news in the past few days.
Recently, all kinds of accidents had occurred frequently, and he was almost badly battered.
Speaker Long looked at Tan Guiren and smiled kindly. "Miss Tan, thank you for agreeing to see me."
He was looking for Tan Guiren to clarify some things with her, not to use his status to pressure her.
Because Tan Guiren looked a little uneasy, Speaker Long was worried that he had scared her.
Tan Guiren's uneasiness wasn't because of Speaker Long's call, but because of Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's hand pressed firmly on her shoulder as she pulled Tan Guiren to sit on the two soft stools in front of Speaker Long's desk. She said to Speaker Long, "Speaker Long, Miss Tan said that you invited her to speak with you. I saw that it was about time, so I sent her in. " As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi assumed the posture of taking notes and said to Speaker Long in a very familiar manner, "Go ahead and ask, I'll record it for you."
If Speaker Long wanted to ask questions, he definitely couldn't ask them alone.
Every job he did had to be recorded, even if it was just interrogating Tan Guiren.
Speaker Long had originally wanted to ask Special Assistant Zhuang to help him take notes, but seeing how enthusiastic Gu Nianzhi was, and considering that she worked in law, it would be more appropriate for her to take notes.
Because Speaker Long wasn't sure if this matter would lead to legal disputes in the future, it was better to prepare for a rainy day.
Speaker Long reminded Gu Nianzhi, "Remember to record according to the law. All the information I have here is legally binding."
Gu Nianzhi nodded furiously. She knew this, so she pretended to be familiar with him and recommended herself …
Speaker Long saw that Gu Nianzhi was smart and sensible, so he didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Tan Guiren and began to ask her, "Miss Tan, I specifically asked you to come here today to ask you about your disappearance in the United States."
Tan Guiren's heart sank. She didn't really want to talk about this at all.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi pleadingly.
Gu Nianzhi didn't look at her. She lowered her head to take notes, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Tan Guiren's expression. Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed, and after writing a few words, she looked up and said, "Speaker Long, I saw online about Miss Tan's disappearance in the United States. I remember that Prime Minister Tan was still in the midst of the election at the time, and because of Miss Tan's disappearance, he even gained a wave of sympathy online. "
Tan Guiren was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.
Speaker Long was slightly taken aback. When he looked at Tan Guiren again, there was already some pity in his eyes. His voice became even more amiable. "Miss Tan, you don't have to feel burdened. I'm not asking you what exactly happened. That is your personal privacy, and I completely understand. "
Tan Guiren nodded slightly and said quietly, "… Thank you, Speaker Long, for your understanding."
Gu Nianzhi secretly gave Tan Guiren a thumbs up.
If she had said this to a lawyer, the lawyer on the other side would have completely torn apart a little white rabbit like Tan Guiren.
But it just so happened to be very suitable for Speaker Long.
Because Speaker Long came from a political career, he was extremely particular about "privacy" and "human rights."
Tan Guiren indicated that she didn't want to talk about the details of her disappearance, so Speaker Long had to respect her wishes.
Moreover, Gu Nianzhi added fuel to the fire on the side to flatter him. "Miss Tan, don't worry. Our Speaker Long isn't the kind of person who asks for gossip. When he asks you questions, he will ask them openly, and not the kind of private things that will embarrass you. "
Speaker Long almost laughed out loud at Gu Nianzhi's words.
He really hadn't misjudged this young girl. Her words were full of needles, and every word she said was a trap for him. She was afraid that he would ask something he "shouldn't" ask …
He didn't feel offended. Instead, he admired Gu Nianzhi even more.
"That's right, Miss Tan. I will ask honest questions, and I won't be like those unscrupulous reporters who forget their own journalistic ethics in order to gain attention." Speaker Long thought of Cai Songyin and couldn't help feeling even more emotional.
Although Cai Songyin wasn't a good media person herself, the daughter she raised was indeed very different from her.
At least Speaker Long didn't hate Tan Guiren, but he hated Cai Songyin's manipulation of the media.
Gu Nianzhi also thought of Cai Songyin, but Tan Guiren didn't seem to notice.
She had a serious expression on her face as she kept nodding. "Speaker Long, you are so right. I rarely watch the news because my mommy said that most of the news is fake, so I don't need to watch it. "
"Oh? So that's what Mrs. Tan said? "Speaker Long clasped his hands and rested them on the desk as he asked with great interest.
Gu Nianzhi held back her laughter and brought the topic back without a trace. "Mrs. Tan does things that are related to herself well and accurately. I really have nothing to say about it. That's why when I only watched the news, I only knew that Miss Tan went missing in the United States and was later found by our people. Wasn't there news on TV that Miss Tan was sent back by our people on a private plane? "
It was that piece of news that almost broke Gu Nianzhi down.
She remembered herself crying so hard that she couldn't control herself, and her heart ached.
However, on the surface, she was already able to remain indifferent. When she mentioned that piece of news, it was as if it had nothing to do with her.
In reality, neither of the two people here knew how much that piece of news had affected her.
Tan Guiren revealed a shy expression and mustered the courage to whisper, "Yes, I have to thank Major General Huo. If it weren't for him, I would definitely have died in the hands of the American kidnappers."
Speaker Long also became serious and continued the conversation between the two people. "Miss Tan, do you still remember what happened after you were rescued by Major General Huo? To be honest, I saw the live broadcast of the American police rescuing you. Was Major General Huo among those who rescued you? "
Tan Guiren remembered that scene clearly. She thought for a moment, then bit her lower lip and said, "Can I say these things? At the time, Major General Huo instructed me to keep this matter highly confidential. "
Speaker Long thought about it. "You can say it here. I will treat it as top secret." As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, your security clearance …"
Gu Nianzhi immediately said, "Speaker Long, my security clearance is enough. If you don't believe me, you can check it immediately. If I'm lying, you can shoot me on the spot. "
Huo Shaoheng had told her that one of the purposes of marrying her was to quickly increase her security clearance.
She remembered it clearly and believed that Huo Shaoheng wouldn't lie to her about this.
Speaker Long nodded. "Of course I will check it."
However, he didn't harp on this matter and turned to look at Tan Guiren. "I will only ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, answer them. If you can't, then don't speak. Is that okay? "
Tan Guiren nodded firmly. "Yes, Speaker Long."
Speaker Long considered it and asked, "That night, when you were rescued by the American police, where was Major General Huo? Was he with you, or … "
Tan Guiren thought that since Speaker Long had already seen the situation on TV, it shouldn't be impossible to say.
But before she said it, she still looked at Gu Nianzhi carefully.
Speaker Long saw this look, and his eyes darkened as he stared at Gu Nianzhi. It was unclear what he was thinking.
Gu Nianzhi secretly groaned. As expected, people like Tan Guiren were double-edged swords. When you used her "naive and innocent" to trick others, she would also use her "naive and innocent" to trick you.
Fortunately, Gu Nianzhi had studied Tan Guiren thoroughly and had prepared several ways to deal with her. She said calmly, "Miss Tan, don't be afraid. What kind of person is Speaker Long? He said he wouldn't say anything, and he won't say anything. "
She discreetly explained that Tan Guiren was secretly looking at her as Tan Guiren was worried about her privacy being exposed.
Tan Guiren sighed in relief and looked at Speaker Long. She whispered, "… If Speaker Long watched the TV, he would know that Major General Huo was surrounded by the American police when he rescued me. They thought he was a kidnapper."
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched as she quickly recorded it.
"And then?" Speaker Long was most concerned about whether Huo Shaoheng was captured.
"… Those American police were very annoying. They wouldn't listen to my explanations and were in a hurry to capture Major General Huo. But Major General Huo was very powerful, and he escaped quickly. " Tan Guiren wanted to show that Huo Shaoheng was "very powerful," so she added, "And he went to my home in Long Island to visit me the next day."
"He went to see you the next day? There were so many American police officers that night, and there seemed to be soldiers as well. Didn't he get caught? Then how was his mental and physical state? "Speaker Long asked in detail.
"No, Major General Huo is so powerful. How could the American military and police catch him?! They're not on the same level at all! " Tan Guiren spread her hands and blurted out, "But he was slightly injured. It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."
Tan Guiren seemed to have transformed into Huo Shaoheng's fangirl and was full of respect and admiration for his abilities.
Speaker Long was speechless.
Why did he suddenly feel that his confidence in Huo Shaoheng wasn't as much as that of a silly girl like Tan Guiren?!
