Of course, Xie Qingying didn't know that Special Assistant Yang had attended the last few trials and had even spoken to Gu Nianzhi.
She thought they really didn't know each other.
Out of politeness, she glanced at Gu Nianzhi and Huo Jialan to get their permission to introduce her to Special Assistant Yang.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Special Assistant Yang and remembered that during the fourth trial, Xie Qingying and Xie Dezhao had testified in court. Special Assistant Yang hadn't been there, so he could pretend not to know her in front of Xie Qingying.
It wasn't that Gu Nianzhi wanted to ruin Special Assistant Yang's reputation, but every time Special Assistant Yang appeared, Gu Nianzhi felt like she was being targeted.
She didn't know how she had offended this person, but she didn't want to back down to avoid trouble.
Moreover, if they knew each other, then they didn't know each other. Was there something wrong with this person's head?
Gu Nianzhi put down the porcelain spoon in her hand and smiled at Xie Qingying. "Cousin, don't bother. Anyway, Special Assistant Yang won't remember us even if you introduce us to him. Why bother with this unnecessary effort? "
Xie Qingying froze. There was a hidden meaning in her words …
She looked at Gu Nianzhi, then at Special Assistant Yang and smiled. "Do you two know each other?"
Special Assistant Yang was even more displeased with Gu Nianzhi's aggressive attitude. He frowned. "Miss, what do you mean? You're speaking so sarcastically. I didn't offend you, did I? "
"No, why do you say that, Special Assistant Yang?" Gu Nianzhi smiled at him. "Because we just met in court last week and even spoke to each other. Special Assistant Yang remembered my name at that time, but it's obvious he doesn't remember it a week later. Isn't this a sign that people of high status tend to have short memories? Cousin, don't you think I'm right? "
Xie Qingying understood. "You're saying that Special Assistant Yang went to the last few trials?"
"Yes, he even asked me which law firm I did my trial training at." Gu Nianzhi giggled and continued to embarrass Special Assistant Yang.
Special Assistant Yang replied, "Oh, so it's about that? I'm sorry, I forgot. I'm busy with work every day. I've seen at least eighty people, and I've spoken at least eight hundred words. You can't expect me to remember all the trivial things clearly. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled faintly as she picked up the coconut juice and sipped it with a straw. She said casually, "Special Assistant Yang's working ability is limited, so it's normal that he can't remember. It seems like Senior Speaker Long is in need of talent … "
She was just teasing him casually, but Executive Assistant Yang's expression suddenly changed. The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense.
Xie Qingying hurriedly tried to smooth things over and gave Special Assistant Yang a way out. "Special Assistant Yang, didn't you want me to meet your juniors? It just so happens that I admire the elites of B University. Shall we go and take a look? "
Special Assistant Yang understood that Xie Qingying was giving him a way out of this embarrassing situation, so he couldn't help feeling even more disapproving of Gu Nianzhi.
Look at Xie Qingying. That's the demeanor and etiquette. That's the real descendant of a noble.
Gu Nianzhi?
Hehe …
Executive Assistant Yang did not even look at Huo Jialan. He turned around and left with Xie Qingying.
When they arrived at the private room where Special Assistant Yang was treating them, Xie Qingying saw that there were two women and three men in the room. They were all dressed like students.
Special Assistant Yang perked up and introduced them to Xie Qingying. "These are all undergraduates from B University's Faculty of Law. They're also my high school classmates."
Among the five students, two of them, one male and one female, were graduating this year. The other three were still freshmen.
They looked at Xie Qingying curiously and nodded at her.
Special Assistant Yang thought about it and specially introduced the female student who was about to graduate this year to Xie Qingying. "This is Rong Mingxing, the top student of this year's B University Faculty of Law. She started university at the age of 16 and will graduate this year at the age of 20. She's a real genius! "
Xie Qingying glanced at the pretty girl and nodded. She smiled and said, "It's my honor to meet the elites of B University's Faculty of Law today. Come, let me use tea in place of wine to propose a toast to everyone."
Xie Qingying picked up the white porcelain teapot from the dining table and poured herself a cup. Then, she asked everyone in the room to propose a toast.
The girls drank fruit juice in place of wine, while the boys drank beer. They all drank a cup with Xie Qingying.
Special Assistant Yang's expression finally returned to normal. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and introduced her to everyone. "This is Miss Xie from the Xie family. She just returned from France and is a relative of Speaker Long."
The students were shocked and became even more respectful of her.
Xie Qingying had only used this opportunity to invite Special Assistant Yang out for a cup of tea. She had already given him a lot of face.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries and praising the students in the room, she said goodbye and left.
After she left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively.
"Brother Yang, you're so close to Miss Xie?!"
"Is this Miss Xie the one from the Xie family who went to France?"
They had only seen this kind of family in history books!
Special Assistant Yang's face was flushed as he poured himself a cup of wine. He nodded reservedly and said casually, "Yes, that's the Miss Xie from the Xie family. She's a relative of Speaker Long."
"Eh? Brother Yang, why are you blushing? Could it be … that the Hong Luan Star has moved?! "
Several boys cheered and ran over to propose a toast to Special Assistant Yang.
Special Assistant Yang had always valued and supported the juniors in his hometown high school. Of course, the premise was that he was the boss.
The two girls looked at each other and then looked away. They didn't join in the fun.
Especially Rong Mingxing, who was about to graduate this year, her face suddenly paled, and her delicate little face showed a conflicted and depressed expression.
Special Assistant Yang saw that Rong Mingxing's expression had changed, and his mood suddenly improved.
The humiliation he had suffered at Gu Nianzhi's hands had miraculously been smoothed over.
He smiled and scooped a braised meatball with Rong Mingxing. "By the way … don't you like eating this? Eat more today. I'll make sure you're full. "
Several male students in the room had no moral integrity at all. Seeing this, they immediately made fun of Rong Mingxing and Special Assistant Yang.
Special Assistant Yang lit a cigarette, held it in his hand, and stared at Rong Mingxing's profile. Amidst the rising smoke, it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Rong Mingxing said softly, "Brother, stop smoking. You drank a lot today."
Special Assistant Yang crushed the cigarette in the ashtray and smiled. "Okay, I'll listen to Little Rong. I won't smoke anymore."
He picked up another piece of fish with his chopsticks and whispered, "What plans do you have for graduation? Our Senate's Special Affairs Office will be recruiting new people next spring. Are you interested? "
Rong Mingxing was overjoyed. She had been flirting with this senior for so long just for the sake of her job after graduation.
"Brother, is it true? Are you going to settle your household registration? "
Special Assistant Yang, "…"
…
After Xie Qingying left with Special Assistant Yang, Huo Jialan whispered, "Nianzhi, is Special Assistant Yang from the Senate? Is he one of Speaker Long's subordinates? "
Since he was called a "special assistant," probably only people at the level of the Speaker would need to have an assistant for such a position.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Yes, he's Speaker Long's special assistant."
Huo Jialan didn't ask any more questions and drank the clear turtle soup alone.
After a while, Xie Qingying returned. She sat back in her seat and didn't mention a word about what Special Assistant Yang had just said. She asked Gu Nianzhi and Huo Jialan, "Where were we just now?"
She was talking about what they had been talking about before Special Assistant Yang came in.
Huo Jialan quickly reminded her, "Qingying, you were just about to say who you were going on a blind date with, but Special Assistant Yang came in before you could say anything."
"Oh, right." Xie Qingying had actually forgotten the name she had thought of on the spot because of Special Assistant Yang's interruption. Now that she saw Special Assistant Yang, she remembered that her father and Speaker Long seemed to want her to be with Special Assistant Yang, so she casually mentioned Special Assistant Yang. She asked them, "What do you think of Special Assistant Yang?"
Huo Jialan had an expression of "I knew it." "Special Assistant Yang? He looks good and is handsome. He's also young, right? He's Speaker Long's special assistant at such a young age. If he doesn't make any major mistakes, he can become the Speaker once Speaker Long retires, right? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't have a good impression of Special Assistant Yang, but she didn't want to affect Xie Qingying's criteria for a spouse. She only corrected Huo Jialan, "To become the Speaker, he has to pass the election and become a senator. The position of the Speaker is not promoted by the higher-ups. Even if Speaker Long retires, Special Assistant Yang can't become the Speaker if he doesn't pass the election. Special Assistant is only a civil servant position. "
Huo Jialan didn't know much about these things, so she knew she'd said the wrong thing. She was embarrassed, but seeing Gu Nianzhi's glib tongue, and the fact that Huo Jialan wanted to maintain a good relationship with her, rather than offend her, she could only swallow her anger.
"So that's how it is? Nianzhi, you know so much. "Huo Jialan kept flattering Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "It's basic knowledge. Miss Huo, it's in high school textbooks. "
"High school? Hahaha, it's been a long time. I don't remember. "Huo Jialan used time to save face.
Gu Nianzhi didn't continue to poke at her. She took a sip of turtle soup.
The private room quieted down and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
In the past, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't have picked up right away, but she felt a little uncomfortable during the meal today. She just wanted to leave right away, so she couldn't wait to swipe her phone to answer the call. She smiled and said, "Hello."
Huo Shaoheng obviously hesitated before asking, "Nianzhi? Is that you? "
"Yes, it's me. What's up?"
Gu Nianzhi was too embarrassed to call him "Huo Shao" in front of Xie Qingying and Huo Jialan, so she said "you" vaguely.
Huo Shaoheng immediately knew where Gu Nianzhi was. He asked again, "Is it convenient to talk?"
Gu Nianzhi stood up and said to Xie Qingying and Huo Jialan, "I'm going out to take a call."
She walked out with her phone in hand and made the call under the tree outside the restaurant.
"Huo Shao? What's up? "
Huo Shaoheng was in a car heading towards B University. "Aren't you going to the base tomorrow? I'm free tonight, so I'll pick you up. "
Gu Nianzhi didn't hesitate at all. "Ok, I can go now. Where are you? "
"… I'm on the way. I'll be at your school soon." Huo Shaoheng looked at the night view outside the car. "It's just around the corner."
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "I'm at a restaurant. It's the Huaiyang Cuisine near my school." Then she told him the name of the restaurant.
Huo Shaoheng turned his head to look. It was the side of the road. He even saw Gu Nianzhi talking on the phone under a tree.
"Stop there." At the same time, he asked Gu Nianzhi, "I saw you. Who were you having dinner with?"
