Tan Dongbang's impeachment started because of the video he and Gu Yanran had an affair in.
However, to the Prime Minister, being unfaithful to his wife was at most a moral issue. His wife was the one who should be angry, and the Senate wouldn't go so far as to impeach him for having an affair with someone else.
However, after the original video was recovered, more details were revealed.
Everyone discovered that Tan Dongbang and Gu Yanran had an affair in the Prime Minister's office!
Previously, when the Senate questioned Tan Dongbang about the affair, Tan Dongbang claimed that his affair with Gu Yanran didn't affect his work at all, and that he had never brought Gu Yanran to his office …
When the social network was attacked by a "hacker" and was forced to restore the previous backup, the deleted short movie reappeared. It was restored by the technical department and revealed all the details.
Everyone was shocked to discover that the affair in the video happened in the Prime Minister's office!
Therefore, lying to the Senate and perjury immediately became Tan Dongbang's first charge.
What followed was all sorts of obstruction and misleading of the Senate's investigation team.
Therefore, the second charge of obstructing justice was also brought by the grand jury.
As for Tan Dongbang and Gu Yanran's affair, it still couldn't be brought to light, so it wasn't officially charged by the grand jury.
After more than a month of investigation, evidence collection, and debate, the Senate would officially begin voting today.
According to the Hua Xia Empire's constitution, impeaching a Prime Minister required two-thirds of both the Senate's votes to succeed.
This was also the first Prime Minister to be impeached by the Senate since the Hua Xia Empire's constitution was established.
The entire nation was paying attention to this impeachment case.
All major television stations, news media, and online social media were all broadcasting the instant vote in both houses of the Senate.
The entire world's eyes were also focused on the Hua Xia Imperial Senate's conference hall.
…
At the same time, Tan Dongbang, Cai Songyin, Tan Guiren, and Cai Shengnan were doing the final preparations in the small conference room next to the lower house of the Senate's conference hall.
Cai Shengnan's father called from the United States to give Tan Dongbang one last live coaching session. He taught him how to speak without breaking the law and also exonerate himself.
The two of them chatted noisily on the phone, and the conversation was in full swing.
Cai Songyin didn't disturb them and quietly asked Cai Shengnan, "Shengnan, tell Auntie the truth. Will it really be okay this time?"
Cai Shengnan waved her hand disapprovingly. "What are you worried about? My dad can even handle the US Senate and House of Representatives. What's this? "
"You can't say that." Cai Songyin's mind was in a mess, and there was a trace of unwillingness and unwillingness. "This place is still different from the United States."
But looking at her innocent daughter, Tan Guiren, and thinking about her future prospects and marriage, Cai Songyin had no choice but to swallow this bitterness.
If Tan Dongbang was really impeached, his daughter's life would be ruined.
She could have been a little princess for the rest of her life. No one in the entire Hua Xia Empire had a higher birth than her, and no one deserved a better husband and a better marriage than her.
Even if it was for her daughter, she could only choose this path.
Furthermore, was there anyone more suitable for her than Tan Dongbang in the entire country?
No.
Gold had no legs, and no one was perfect. She should be content.
Anyway, she could play outside in the future, so she didn't have to worry about Tan Dongbang's feelings …
Cai Songyin laughed coldly in her heart as she gently held her daughter's hand.
Cai Shengnan crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the small conference room.
It wasn't that she wasn't nervous. After all, it was her first time doing something like this in the Hua Xia Empire.
Although everything had been arranged properly, no one knew what would happen until the final vote was announced.
She raised her slender neck and took a deep breath. It was as if she was trying to convince herself, but it was also as if she was trying to explain to Cai Songyin.
"There are 660 people in the lower house of the Senate. So far, we've already convinced 450 people to vote against. The other 20 people are undecided. That's more than two-thirds of them. There are 100 people in the upper house, and 70 people have already agreed to vote against. So as long as they understand the situation, there shouldn't be a problem. "
"Will anyone betray us?" Cai Songyin asked worriedly. "How did you convince them? You didn't break the law, did you? "
"How?" Cai Shengnan looked up at Cai Songyin with her mesmerizing eyes. "Of course I used the votes they care about the most. Why would I do anything illegal? Wouldn't I be waiting for them to send me to jail if I did something illegal to a senator? Am I that stupid? "
She had used open and aboveboard legal means.
Senators cared about votes the most. Cai Shengnan used a strategy that could influence the senators' votes to convince them that Tan Dongbang's governing platform would be beneficial to the districts of the senators. If Tan Dongbang was impeached, the voters in the districts of the senators would lose the most direct benefit.
Also, Tan Dongbang was representing the interests of the voters.
The media controlled by Cai Songyin had already turned the entire impeachment case into a battle between political factions. They even whitewashed the short film into saying that it was his opponent who uploaded it using the IP address of the Office of the Prime Minister. The goal was to attack Tan Dongbang's political advantage and smear his political reputation.
With Cai Songyin's media water army controlling the situation, many political forces that wanted to take advantage of the situation could only give up.
If they moved, they would be dragged out and beaten up.
The hot topic was shifted, and everyone's focus was off.
It had to be said that Cai Songyin understood the psychology of the audience very well.
She knew very well that to the audience, the political battle of the upper class would always be more convincing than the news of the Prime Minister's affair. It would also make them believe that this was the truth.
Even if the Prime Minister really had an affair, his wife didn't care and tried her best to defend her husband. Who would care if he really had an affair?!
Was it really not the Prime Minister's political opponent who made such a big fuss?
Under this kind of public opinion, Tan Dongbang's impeachment case didn't cause too many problems. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under Cai Songyin and Cai Shengnan's control.
Today was the day to test the results of their work.
On the other side, Tan Dongbang ended the long-distance call with his brother-in-law and felt much calmer.
He adjusted the little bow tie on his black tuxedo in front of the mirror.
Cai Songyin looked at him from behind.
The man in the mirror with smooth hair and a handsome face was her childhood sweetheart husband.
Of course, this man was capable. He was best at giving speeches.
That kind of incitement wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
That was why he was able to stand out under the Tan and Cai families' schemes. He suddenly rose to prominence and left Bai Jiancheng, who had been far ahead.
Cai Songyin brushed the non-existent dust off his back and gently pushed him. "Go."
Tan Dongbang turned around to hold her hand and kissed it. "Songyin, wait for me."
He turned around and walked towards the door.
Cai Shengnan said, "Auntie, Cousin, you should go together. You should always stand by Uncle's side and show your most determined support."
"Oh? We have to go too? "Cai Songyin and Tan Guiren asked in surprise.
Cai Songyin felt uncomfortable, while Tan Guiren felt embarrassed.
"Yes, what uncle needs the most right now is your support. Auntie, you standing by Uncle's side is the best way to guide the public opinion online. The netizens will only look at your attitude. And Cousin … "
Cai Shengnan's gaze lingered on Tan Guiren's flawless face for a while. She noticed that Tan Guiren was also wearing a white Chloe dress suit today. It matched her temperament very well. She had a naive and innocent air about her that made people want to love her.
It was very attractive to otakus.
In fact, many otakus on the internet had already expressed that they would support Tan Dongbang to the end just by looking at his daughter, Tan Guiren, the goddess of otakus. They even shouted the slogan, "Beauty is justice."
Of course, only Cai Songyin herself knew how much of this was caused by her own water army and media.
"… You have to know that netizens are voters. Their influence on the members of the Senate is decisive."
Cai Shengnan persuaded Cai Songyin and Tan Guiren for a long time before they were finally convinced.
…
The voting had just begun in the Senate's conference hall.
Tan Dongbang stood solemnly in the defendant's seat across from the grand jury. Beside him was his lead lawyer, Cai Shengnan.
Behind him was his team of lawyers.
Cai Shengnan was wearing a custom-made Louis Vuitton black women's suit today. It was both dignified and dignified, but it also highlighted her feminine features and magnified them.
When Cai Shengnan's footage appeared on TV and was intentionally praised, Cai Shengnan's name also began to circulate online.
# Cai Shengnan, the only Asian female partner of the second largest law firm in the United States.
# Cai Shengnan's father, the lead lawyer of the former president of the United States.
# Cai Shengnan, a graduate of a prestigious American school, giving a graduation speech on behalf of the entire grade.
Topics flew up one by one on the top searches. Soon, three of the top ten searches were related to Cai Shengnan!
She was famous. She was really famous!
Many media outlets noticed this talented and good-looking lawyer who had just returned from the United States from a prestigious family. Her work phone was almost exploding with calls, inviting her to do an exclusive interview.
Cai Shengnan was observing the voting in the conference room of the Senate's lower house. Of course, she didn't have time to answer the phone.
It was her assistant who was handling her work calls now.
Her assistant happily reported to her about the situation on social media. "Lawyer Cai, you can really make your debut now. Your trending is comparable to that of an A-list celebrity. Those B-list and C-list celebrities don't even deserve to carry your shoes."
Cai Shengnan smiled slightly and was very calm.
She put on her Bluetooth headset and said softly, "Alright, keep it to yourself. I'm not in the entertainment industry. Are you using them to compare to me?"
She had woken up early in the morning and only slept four to five hours a day to get where she was today.
But even so, everyone had vanity.
Cai Shengnan still took the time to take out her personal phone and quickly glanced at the top ten of the hot searches.
At that moment, a new trending search rose like a rocket. It quickly reached the tenth place and continued to move forward.
This new trending search related to Cai Shengnan was like this:
# Cai Shengnan, Beauty 100, Figure 150, IQ 250, Frozen Age Goddess #
Cai Shengnan, "…"
The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she gradually became angry.
Was Little Auntie's water army brainless?!
How did they buy this trending search?!
Was this a compliment?!
…
At that moment, in the dormitory of the female graduate students of the B University Faculty of Law, Gu Nianzhi put down her phone as if nothing had happened. There was a hint of smugness on her lips. She rested her chin on her hands and watched the solemn and magnificent conference hall of the lower house of parliament on the television with Ma Qiqi.
