Based on Gu Nianzhi's understanding of the Tans, the only person who could stop Cai Songyin and Tan Dongbang's crazy parents-in-law's final trick was one person.
Their precious daughter, Tan Guiren.
Gu Nianzhi had very complicated feelings toward Tan Guiren.
Up until now, Tan Guiren hadn't done anything truly bad.
Unlike Gu Yanran and Wen Shouyi, the damage these two had done to Gu Nianzhi was substantial and irreparable. Gu Nianzhi would never reconcile with them.
Tan Guiren was even better than Xu Piaohong and Gui Suyao.
Although she had hurt Gu Nianzhi the most, she had hurt her the most.
However, Gu Nianzhi knew deep down that Tan Guiren couldn't be blamed for that incident.
She had a good father and a good mother to pave the way for her. She only needed to be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower and elegant.
Even when it came to Huo Shaoheng, this girl had always been secretly in love with him. She had never openly provoked him like Xu Piaohong.
More importantly, Tan Guiren played the violin well.
Gu Nianzhi had heard Tan Guiren's performance on Christmas Eve, and it was truly like the sound of nature.
The zither was the voice of the heart.
If a person who studied the zither had too many thoughts, the sound of the zither would not be pure.
Music was the same as other arts. To achieve the highest level of achievement, one had to be pure, or even pure.
One must have a transcendent heart to be able to make real artistic achievements.
If an artist was too sophisticated, his works would inevitably be full of craftsmanship.
It could be said that Tan Guiren had been very well protected by her parents. She completely separated herself from the crowd and felt like she didn't fit in. That was why she could play the piano so well.
What if I leave the protection of my parents?
When Gu Nianzhi went to the kitchen to pour He Zhichu a cup of coffee, she thought about it. Tan Guiren probably wouldn't be able to survive …
Tan Guiren was a true dodder flower, beautiful but soft. Without support, she would die.
She was destined to walk from the arms of her parents to the arms of her husband, and then spend the rest of her life under the protection of her husband.
As for himself, his English name was Cereus. In Chinese, it meant night epiphyllum or the Queen of the Night. It could also be called a cactus because the epiphyllum was a plant of the cactus family Dianthus.
The night epiphyllum looked white and soft, but in fact, its vitality was extremely tenacious.
Think of the cactus blooming in the desert, they belong to the same sect.
Gu Nianzhi deeply felt that this was a true reflection of herself.
She had no parents or relatives, but she grew up safe and sound with Huo Shaoheng by her side.
Unlike Tan Guiren, Gu Nianzhi had never thought about living under Huo Shaoheng's protection for the rest of her life.
She was a cactus epiphyllum belonging to the desert. Not only was her vitality tenacious, but her entire body was covered with thorns.
If anyone wanted to kill her, she would kill them first. It was that simple.
Gu Nianzhi suppressed her sympathy and carried two cups of coffee out of the kitchen. She placed them on the coffee table in front of He Zhichu.
"Professor He, black coffee, your favorite flavor."
Gu Nianzhi made herself a cappuccino with sugar and milk.
He Zhichu brought it over and downed it in one gulp. "I'm jet-lagged today, so I'm very tired. I don't want to drive back. Can I stay here for the night?"
Gu Nianzhi glanced at He Zhichu and nodded quietly. "I'll prepare a guest room for you."
He Zhichu sat on the sofa and watched Gu Nianzhi bustle around like a hardworking bee. His heart felt warm and fulfilled.
Just like that, he leaned against the sofa and slowly fell asleep.
When Gu Nianzhi came out of the guest room, she saw that He Zhichu had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
The setting sun shone through the gap in the curtains and scattered golden spots on the cherry wood floor. It had the calmness and leisure of the quiet years.
Gu Nianzhi took a blanket and gently covered He Zhichu's body.
Then she walked to her bedroom and closed the door. She picked up her phone and called Speaker Long.
Speaker Long had once said that if she wanted to apply for the Senate Secretariat, she could call him.
Gu Nianzhi knew that this wasn't a good time. Speaker Long must be crazy busy.
But she couldn't wait. Even if she knew Speaker Long was busy, she still had to call.
Speaker Long was really busy.
Gu Nianzhi called ten times before Speaker Long finally picked up her call.
"Nianzhi? I'm sorry, I'm very busy today. I left this phone in my study and didn't bring it with me. "Speaker Long's voice was clearly tired.
Gu Nianzhi quickly cut to the chase. "Speaker Long, I know you're busy. I'm just calling to help you."
"Oh? You want to help me? "Speaker Long smiled and sat down to catch his breath. He took a sip of tea." How can you help me? Have you decided to apply for the exam? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Yes, I've decided. But I heard that the exam is still a month away. Since you're so busy right now, can you let me intern by your side? I can help you prepare for the interim election. I can also familiarize myself with the work process there. Once I officially pass the exam, I can start work immediately. "
Speaker Long thought about it and thought it was fine.
The Senate had many internship slots to begin with.
Gu Nianzhi was a master's student in law at B University and an outstanding graduate who had graduated early. She had also received his recommendation to apply for the Senate Secretariat, so it was only natural for her to intern at the Senate.
Speaker Long was also very short on manpower right now.
He wanted to try and see if Gu Nianzhi was as outstanding as he thought she was.
Because Special Assistant Yang had once mentioned to Speaker Long that Gu Nianzhi was very outstanding, but she didn't rely on herself. More importantly, she relied on standing on the "shoulders of giants."
Although Special Assistant Yang didn't say it explicitly, Speaker Long already knew that he was talking about He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng.
One of them was Gu Nianzhi's master's tutor in university, and the other used to be her guardian. He was also the youngest major general in the military and had tens of thousands of subordinates all over the world.
"Ok, if you're willing, you can come to the Senate for your internship tomorrow. Follow me, and I'll personally arrange work for you." Speaker Long began to ramble. "You know, right? The election is going to be held in two weeks, and the Senate is going crazy with work. "
"Of course I know, this is the hot news these two days. I'm afraid everyone in the country knows about it." Gu Nianzhi chuckled. "Then I'll come to work tomorrow?"
"Ok, come directly to my office tomorrow. I'll go talk to Special Assistant Yang now and ask him to arrange work for you." Speaker Long knocked on the table. He was very happy.
Not only was the talent he had chosen talented, but she also knew how to handle things and volunteered to find work. From Speaker Long's perspective, this was already half the battle.
The other half would depend on Gu Nianzhi's performance in the specific work.
For Speaker Long, the successor he identified must not only have attitude, but also work quality.
Only attitude without quality wouldn't do.
Of course, quality without attitude would also be difficult to accept.
Speaker Long and Gu Nianzhi finalized tomorrow's matters and immediately notified Special Assistant Yang.
Special Assistant Yang had also been very busy these past two days, and he really wanted to find someone to help him.
However, the candidate he was optimistic about was his junior from high school, Rong Mingxing, who was now a fourth-year student in the B University Faculty of Law.
But forget it, since Speaker Long said Gu Nianzhi would follow him, then there would be no conflict with Rong Mingxing.
They were all interns anyway, so Special Assistant Yang had more than enough to get a spot.
…
Gu Nianzhi put down the phone and saw that the lights were already shining outside the window. Night had fallen.
He Zhichu was sleeping soundly. Gu Nianzhi looked back and didn't wake him up. She planned to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.
Just then, her phone rang again. It was Huo Shaoheng's exclusive ringtone.
"Nianzhi?"
Gu Nianzhi replied, "Yes, Huo Shao, what's up?"
Huo Shaoheng's voice was very calm. "Is Professor He still at your place? Is there anything else? "
He must have come to check on Gu Nianzhi because He Zhichu entered Gu Nianzhi's house and didn't come out the entire afternoon until it was dark.
Gu Nianzhi whispered, "Professor He is asleep. I don't want to wake him up."
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
"It's okay. Professor He is a gentleman." Gu Nianzhi softly dispelled Huo Shaoheng's concerns and cleverly changed the topic. She said softly, "Huo Shao, I have an idea. I will go to Speaker Long's place tomorrow to help. Give me three days, and I will make sure Cai Songyin doesn't dare to sue for the rest of her life. "
