Song Jinning let out an obvious sigh of relief. She looked at Speaker Long with her starry eyes and said solemnly, "Speaker Long, I will remember what you said. If our Institute of High Energy Physics' funding is blocked by someone in the future, I can only ask you for help. "
Speaker Long nodded repeatedly and agreed immediately. "No problem. The matters of the Institute of High Energy Physics are also matters of national importance. Besides, Prime Minister Tan isn't someone who doesn't know what's important."
Song Jinning laughed softly. "I hope Prime Minister Tan can live up to your expectations and truly have the bearing of a prime minister of a great nation."
At that moment, Tan Dongbang and Cai Songyin were in the VIP room of the National Center of Performing Arts, making their final preparations.
They were about to step out of the room and onto the stage for the inauguration ceremony.
"Xiao Li, go see how Little Darling is doing. It's about to start, so tell her to hurry up." Cai Songyin discreetly sent Tan Dongbang's personal assistant away.
Only Tan Dongbang and his wife were left in the VIP room.
Cai Songyin saw that there was no one else around and finally told them about the disagreement she had with Song Jinning in the private room. After she finished, she said with a gloomy expression, "What should we do? It wasn't easy for Nannan to take a fancy to someone and we all agreed, but this future mother-in-law is really too terrible. "
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been unresolvable since ancient times.
Cai Songyin herself had never encountered this kind of problem because she and Tan Dongbang were childhood friends. Their families were well-matched, and the two families knew each other very well. Tan Dongbang's mother had always loved Cai Songyin.
Tan Dongbang's mother had passed away due to illness only a few years after she and Tan Dongbang had been married, so she had never personally experienced the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, she had heard many terrifying rumors about it from her close friends.
Today, she saw that Song Jinning was not only beautiful but also aggressive. Her words were like knives stabbing people's hearts. How could her little sheep-like daughter fight against such a mother-in-law?
For a moment, Cai Songyin almost wanted to persuade Tan Guiren to back out.
However, Tan Dongbang listened to Cai Songyin's recount and muttered, "I've met Director Song a few times because she wants to apply for funding for the Institute of High Energy Physics. She is very familiar with the people from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education. I've never heard of her being such an unreasonable person."
"What do you mean?! You think I'm lying?! " Cai Songyin was immediately enraged. She glared at Tan Dongbang and thought about the breathtaking Song Jinning she had seen today. Then she looked at how her husband, who had always listened to her, was actually speaking up for Song Jinning. She couldn't help but overthink things.
"Tan Dongbang, did you see Song Jinning's beauty and soften your heart for her?" Cai Songyin raised her slanted eyebrows and jabbed at him. "She must have undergone plastic surgery, and her entire body must have undergone surgery. Otherwise, how could she have such a face and body? Don't forget, she's already in her fifties. She's two years older than me. How could you do that? "
"You're making it sound so bad! Am I that kind of person? " Tan Dongbang patted Cai Songyin's shoulder lightly. "I'm talking about serious business. What day is it today? Why are you so jealous?"
"It's good that you know. We're husband and wife, and we've worked hard for so many years to get to where we are today. Just like you, I cherish the days we have now. " Cai Songyin hugged Tan Dongbang's waist and leaned her head against his chest. "Dongbang, we've been husband and wife for so many years, and we've always been harmonious. We're much better than Song Jinning and Huo Guanchen. Today, they were like enemies in the private room, and it was very ugly. "
Tan Dongbang patted her back. "It's good that you know. Don't worry. As long as Song Jinning is still the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, she won't dare to go overboard with Little Darling. "
How could she not bow her head when she was under someone else's roof?
"Yeah." Cai Songyin thought about it and agreed. If Song Jinning was a housewife, she really wouldn't know how to deal with her. She couldn't just barge into someone's home and teach them how to live their lives, right?
However, Song Jinning was the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. Although it was an academic institution, it was also a subordinate of the Ministry of Education. Nominally, it was also under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet, and the head of the Cabinet was currently her husband, Tan Dongbang.
Wasn't it easy for a boss to make things difficult for their subordinates?!
Cai Songyin curled her lips into a smile.
The couple hugged each other and stood quietly in the middle of the VIP room, trying to calm their excited emotions.
Tan Guiren pushed the door open and entered before they quickly separated.
Of course, Tan Guiren was happy to see her parents so loving.
Covering her eyes, she turned around and said mischievously, "You guys continue! Continue! Don't mind me. "
"You're such a naughty child." Cai Songyin's pale face was flushed, and she finally felt a little better.
She took out her phone and called her assistants in. "I don't need to say more about the importance of tonight, right? I believe you guys know what to do. "
The two assistants were her confidants, so they quickly said, "Mrs. Tan, don't worry. We know."
After leaving the VIP room, Assistant A winked at Assistant B. "What do you think Mrs. Tan means?"
"You still don't know what she means?" Assistant B lifted her chin towards where Song Jinning was sitting in the hall. "That person got herself into trouble today, so of course she has to be erased …"
…
Five minutes later, all the lights in the National Center for the Performing Arts were extinguished, and the four corners of the hall slowly lit up with dots of light that looked like candlelight. Of course, it wasn't real candlelight, but candlelight simulated by LCD lights.
Then, a sweet female voice sounded from the first-class echo equipment in the hall and began the countdown.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! Let us welcome our new Prime Minister, Mr. Tan Dongbang, Mrs. Cai Songyin, and the Prime Minister's only daughter, Miss Tan Guiren, with a round of applause! "
At that moment, the lights in the National Center for the Performing Arts suddenly lit up again. It was dazzling, and the crystal lights on the roof looked like huge blooming lotus flowers.
On the raised platform in the center of the National Center for the Performing Arts, two rows of LCD lights lit up instantly, illuminating a long and straight corridor.
The corridor was covered with reflective tape, and when it was illuminated by the cold light of the LCD on the side of the corridor, it sparkled like lotus flowers blooming on the corridor.
The Tan family of three walked out from the end of the corridor and leisurely waved to the guests in the National Center for the Performing Arts, their steps blooming like lotus flowers.
The Prime Minister's daughter, Tan Guiren, was dressed like a little princess today.
She had shoulder-length black hair, and she wore a small diamond tiara on her head. This was a piece of jewelry that had been passed down from the Cai family's ancestors. Because Cai Songyin's husband, Tan Dongbang, was the most outstanding son-in-law in the Cai family, the diamond tiara was given to Tan Guiren as a congratulatory gift.
They were close relatives, and the tiara was given to Tan Guiren under her maternal grandmother's name. Therefore, although the diamond tiara was extremely valuable and almost priceless, it wouldn't be considered a bribe.
The reason Tan Dongbang was able to get to where he was today had a lot to do with how much he cherished his reputation.
He wasn't interested in women, nor was he greedy for money. He just loved fame and power, and he doted on his daughter very much. He was a perfect father who adhered to the twenty-four filial piety rules.
Therefore, the position of Prime Minister was the most suitable for him.
Today was also the day his long-cherished wish and dream of many years had finally been realized. He was extremely excited, and his fair and refined face glowed as he proudly walked up to the raised platform.
At the same time, all of the Hua Xia Empire's television stations, social networks, newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets focused their attention on the Prime Minister's inauguration.
It was being broadcasted live on television and online.
The water army on Weibo was already in position, and they began to click, like, and share the photos of the Prime Minister's family at the inauguration.
Cai Songyin had two assistants who were experts in this area. They were professionals that she had poached from a small website with a high salary.
They were the best at creating public opinion online and setting the pace. Of course, they were also good at digging holes, stirring up trouble, and adding drama. They were also good at pretending to be the opposite, pretending to be loyal, and pretending to be a passerby's haters and passerby's fans.
This round of the Prime Minister's inauguration was also planned by Cai Songyin a long time ago. It was a great opportunity for her and her daughter, Tan Guiren, to create a public persona.
She wanted to create an image of herself as someone from a scholarly family, who was beautiful and successful in her career.
Her daughter, Tan Guiren, was from a prestigious family. She was a musical prodigy from a young age, and when she grew up, she was a princess who studied abroad in Europe and America.
Furthermore, their family was indeed very good-looking. Although they weren't as beautiful as Song Jinning, they were still relatively outstanding among the group of wealthy women.
Therefore, when the photos they had carefully selected began to circulate on Weibo, a bunch of water army "passerby" began to post topics one after another.
# Oh my god! The Prime Minister's Wife of the Age of Beauty! #
# The Prime Minister's Little Princess with a soft body, do you want to go on a date?! #
# Prime Minister Tan is so handsome! #
# Let's see what it means to have a family that is better looking than you and smarter than you! #
Very quickly, these topics spread like wildfire on Weibo.
In most of the TV and online broadcasts, Song Jinning's footage was quietly erased, and only the Prime Minister's family was highlighted.
It couldn't be helped. Song Jinning's outfit was too outstanding today, especially since she and the Prime Minister's wife were wearing similar evening attire. When the two of them appeared on TV at the same time, Cai Songyin was immediately outshone.
However, for some reason, when the Hua Xia Empire's largest national TV station was broadcasting the Prime Minister's swearing-in, they actually displayed a live comparison photo.
On one side was the Prime Minister's wife, Cai Songyin, who was wearing a bright red off-shoulder mermaid dress. On the other side was Song Jinning, who was wearing a crabapple red mermaid dress.
When they only looked at Cai Songyin, everyone felt that she was indeed a beautiful woman.
However, when the two were put together, everyone immediately felt that Cai Songyin's evening gown was too tight, and the flesh on her waist was exposed. Her arms were too thick, and her fair flesh was exposed. It was truly an eyesore in this kind of situation.
There was also too much flesh on her face. When she smiled, her face was full of flesh and looked a bit fierce.
Although Song Jinning didn't show her face much on TV, just a glimpse like that was enough to make people unable to forget it.
Cai Songyin's assistant realized that Song Jinning's figure actually appeared on the national TV station. Furthermore, it was a comparison to Cai Songyin's appearance. Their faces darkened, and they immediately called the national TV station to tell them to "be careful of their image."
Therefore, Song Jinning was erased from TV once again.
…
Huo Shaoheng walked into the house with his phone. To him, his mission for the day was considered complete.
He didn't really care about what happened next.
Things like Weibo data and online publicity were completely insignificant to him. He didn't care about them at all.
However, Gu Nianzhi, who was scrolling through Weibo, noticed it. Her fingers were a bit itchy, so she nudged Ma Qiqi and said, "Qiqi, should we start something?"
