Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "You don't like pancakes?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "It's pretty good, but the maple syrup is a bit too sweet." She took a bite of the pancake.
The golden syrup coated pancake and scrambled eggs combined to taste as delicious as an omelet.
It was indeed delicious.
Huo Shaoheng picked up a napkin and casually wiped a bit of syrup from her lips.
Yin Shixiong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He suddenly asked, "Nianzhi, where did you spend New Year's?"
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at him and raised a brow. "Here. Why?"
Yin Shixiong nodded and glanced at Huo Shaoheng. He secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Huo Shaoheng ignored him and said dryly, "Little Ze is out on a mission. Nianzhi is helping us here and contacting Little Ze. She was taught by Little Ze, so the two of them can work together more efficiently. "
So that's how it is.
Yin Shixiong instantly felt that he had misunderstood.
He had spent New Year's like he was soaking in honey. His vigilance and acuity had greatly decreased.
Yin Shixiong felt a bit guilty when he thought of Zhao Liangze, who had been sent to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa for bullying Huo Shaoheng.
He was happy, but he felt guilty for letting his brothers do all the work!
He quickly sat up and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, can I come back now?"
"Don't you want to rest a bit longer?" Huo Shaoheng put down his knife and fork and downed the red wine. "Why don't you come back after you have a son?"
"No, no, no … It's okay …" Yin Shixiong quickly waved his hand. "We have to take it step by step. We just proposed …" He chuckled.
Gu Nianzhi also smiled. She thought Brother Xiong's sweet expression was very interesting.
Huo Shaoheng, however, thought Yin Shixiong's smile was annoying.
"Brother Xiong, I saw your proposal with Qiqi. It was so beautiful! Qiqi was very touched! " Gu Nianzhi noticed Huo Shaoheng's cold attitude towards Yin Shixiong and quickly changed the topic.
Yin Shixiong rubbed the back of his head and said dreamily, "I think it's pretty good too … I thought about it for a long time before I came up with this idea!"
"That diamond ring is also very pretty." Gu Nianzhi pointed at the middle finger of her right hand. "Qiqi will look very good wearing it."
Yin Shixiong smiled. "Qiqi has already returned to school. Oh right, now that you've graduated, will Qiqi be living alone? "
"The school will probably arrange a new roommate for her." Gu Nianzhi also missed living with Ma Qiqi. She was her good friend.
The two of them were having a friendly conversation about Ma Qiqi's roommates, but Huo Shaoheng seemed out of place by himself.
He didn't pay much attention to it. He had just finished the remaining charcoal grilled steak when he heard his phone ring.
He put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the call. "What's up?"
"Chief, General Ji is on the phone."
"Connect it."
Huo Shaoheng stood up and returned to his suite upstairs.
Gu Nianzhi and Yin Shixiong were having a heated conversation, so no one followed Huo Shaoheng upstairs.
They also knew that he had gone to deal with official business.
If Huo Shaoheng didn't call for them, they couldn't follow.
…
Returning to the suite on the second floor, Huo Shaoheng walked into his study and closed the door. He turned on his computer and began a video call with General Ji.
"General Ji, what's going on?"
"Shaoheng, do you know about what happened on Weibo last night?" General Ji's expression was very serious. There was no one behind him.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "What is it? What did the Secret Service say about this? "
"The Secret Service is currently investigating. Apparently, Weibo was hacked yesterday, but the method was so clever that no traces were left behind. Also, Weibo's global server restarted the backup data and directly erased a lot of direct clues. They're also having a headache. "
Huo Shaoheng was silent. "Was there a loss of national secrets?"
"… Not really." General Ji laughed at Huo Shaoheng's words and said humorously, "Of course, if the Prime Minister's private affairs are considered national secrets, then it is indeed a leak."
Huo Shaoheng laughed and leaned back on the tall swivel chair. "Then what are you worried about?"
"You didn't see the news?" General Ji froze. "I thought you knew."
Huo Shaoheng was slightly embarrassed. He had slept with Gu Nianzhi last night, so he felt very secure. He had actually overslept.
However, his expression didn't change as he casually turned on the wall-mounted TV in the study to take a look.
Every channel was discussing yesterday's Weibo incident. Other than the five-minute short movie, there was another matter that was the focus of all the major TV stations, media outlets, and the Internet.
Someone had started a vote to ask Prime Minister Tan to admit his mistake and resign. There were already tens of millions of shares and hundreds of millions of likes and support.
With such a scale of data on the Internet, Cai Songyin's Water Army had been completely drowned in the sea of people. Not even a shadow could be seen.
What was public opinion?
This was public opinion.
Lincoln once said that you could fool everyone for a certain amount of time, or you could fool a portion of the people all the time, but you couldn't fool everyone all the time. (You can fool all the people some of the time.
-time，
And soll-the-tiot-fool-all-the-people-all-the-time.)
Tan Dongbang had appeared as a dark horse in the election. For someone like that to win the election, he had to have a noble and perfect persona in order to gain the voters' approval in a short period of time and defeat the political veterans.
Once this persona collapsed in the eyes of the voters, the backlash would be very quick.
In other words, they would hate you as much as they loved you at the time when they found out you had lied to them.
People who didn't have a solid foundation and only wanted to rely on crooked methods to reach the top would often discover that the higher they climbed, the harder they fell.
Tan Dongbang having an affair in his marriage wasn't particularly bad for a Prime Minister, but the Huaxia citizens couldn't tolerate his affair with a Japanese person who was suspected of being a spy.
This was also why even elderly people who didn't go online often followed their grandchildren to vote online.
"Shaoheng, did you see that? Even our military and the Senate can't ignore the popularity of this kind of post. " General Ji spread his hands. "Old Long already called me this morning, and we discussed it for a whole two hours."
From General Ji's words, Huo Shaoheng knew that these two big shots must have reached some kind of agreement.
"General Ji, go ahead and I'll listen. If there's anything you need me to do, I'll do it immediately." Huo Shaoheng expressed his unconditional acceptance.
"Okay." General Ji nodded. "It's like this. Old Long also called Tan Dongbang this morning and hoped that he could make a gesture. It would be best if he could admit his mistake and resign."
Huo Shaoheng raised his brows. "He refused?"
"Ha, you know Tan Dongbang very well." General Ji laughed mockingly. "Yes, he refused. He said that he was framed and that the entire video was fake. Someone was messing with him, so he refused to step down."
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and clicked on a program with the mouse in his hand. "And then?"
"Old Long said that since he refused to resign, then there's nothing they can do. Today, which is right now, the upper and lower houses of the Senate are holding an emergency meeting to vote on the issue of dissolving the Cabinet and restarting the emergency election. "
Huo Shaoheng was a bit surprised. "Dissolving the Cabinet? Restarting the election? Is there enough time? "
"Regardless of whether there's enough time, we can't allow someone with Tan Dongbang's image to sit in the position of Prime Minister. Don't forget that according to our nation's constitution, the Prime Minister is the head of the country. " General Ji's voice was very heavy. "Did your Special Operations Forces not receive any news?"
Actually, Huo Shaoheng had received news yesterday that Tan Dongbang's short video had already been downloaded by countless countries' media and intelligence agencies.
This was, of course, a devastating blow to the national image of the head of the Hua Xia Empire.
So he had to step down.
Only when he stepped down would the short video in the other party's hands become worthless.
Because the only valuable part of this short video was Tan Dongbang's identity as the Hua Xia Empire's Prime Minister.
If he was just a normal person, who would care about this short video?
"Just like I said earlier, I don't think Prime Minister Tan's short video is a national secret. So even if foreign intelligence agencies obtain it, it's not worth it for us to mobilize our field personnel to take action."
Huo Shaoheng couldn't hide the disdain in his voice.
General Ji nodded. "Okay, he won't be our Prime Minister very soon."
The two of them were talking when Secretary Cao suddenly walked in and bent down to whisper something to General Ji.
General Ji beamed and said to Huo Shaoheng, "Alright, the upper and lower houses of the Senate just voted unanimously to dissolve the Cabinet and restart the election. I think Bai Jiancheng is really going to be the Prime Minister this time! "
Because the election had been restarted, there weren't many qualified people. Bai Jiancheng, who had just narrowly lost to Tan Dongbang, was definitely a popular candidate.
