Since Huo Shaoheng is willing to do anything to protect Gu Nianzhi, Special assistant Yang thought he could take advantage of that and declare that Huo Shaoheng was abusing his powers That way, he would paint hiain pity and favors fro seniordespised people in high positions that exploited their power for personal gain, or for the sole purpose of lording their power over others
As long as Huo Shaoheng was seen as exploiting his power by Speaker Long, not only would his future career prospects be ruined, Gu Nianzhi would take the heat as well She would no longer be trained as an apprentice to succeed him eventually
How could such a perfect ‘kill two birds with one stone’ type of sche as simple as official procedure?!
No way He wouldn’t allow that to happen
Special assistant Yang’s eyes gleahter “Matters like this can’t be defined that easily After all, procedures are fixed and rigid, while hu a critical period like this, we should all betospoke, he kept an eye on Speaker Long’s body language Seeing that Speaker Long see’s anxiousness transfor, Special assistant Yang suddenly thought of so’s Special Forces Operations, according to protocol, they are not supposed to meddle with domestic affairs Yet this provisional election is a time of crisis, and desperate times call for desperate measures So, an exception has been made, and they were allowed to intervene in the domestic sphere, with surveillance for the provisional election You see, this is a great exah Gu Nianzhi’s gaze appeared to be nonchalantly fixed upon Speaker Long, in reality, she had been watching Special assistant Yang’s change in expression fro his arduous attempts to shi+rk blame from himself and back onto her, Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and aze
Gu Nianzhi didn’t , please don’t use far-fetched excuses Let’s focus on the issue at hand, which is the secretariat’s handling of such docu on the situation, an exception ht not be a standard protocol? Well then, let’s just focus on typical situations that actually do involve protocol So, according to the procedures, who should be the one responsible for dealing with a docuulped, finding himself at a loss for words
Gu Nianzhi took in all of the nuances of Special assistant Yang’s facial expression, continuing to say, “Special assistant Yang, how co to standard protocol, you are the one as supposed to be responsible for dealing with this docu’s s Seeing his current state, Speaker Long refrained fro him
Gu Nianzhi shi+fted her focus away fro and happily stated, “If Special assistant Yang isn’t begging to differ, then Ito the procedures, the rightful course of action would have been for Special assistant Yang to deliver those important documents personally How else should it have been?! Since it truly was such a crucial docu from the Special Operations Forces, of course, the most senior member of staff froht?”
Special assistant Yang shot daggers at Gu Nianzhi but found himself between a rock and a hard place He couldn’t speak without iuilt as well
Special assistant Yang found himself unable to come up with any further excuses He wished he could just crawl into a hole and hide fro to let him off the hook that easily “So, what you mean to say is that it was your fault that the crucial docuned in a timely manner and that the responsibility lies entirely with you?” she continued, full of a to oat out of anyone else, and especially haven’t been trying to oat, is that correct?”
Special assistant Yang choked out soe, with his cheeks puffed out like a toad

In daily life, of course, Gu Nianzhi relied on her ‘ex-boyfriend’ Huo Shaoheng
Thinking about thatpurse his lips in disdain He felt conte as well
Gu Nianzhi certainly wasn’t the type of person that would stay silent just because so had been the one issuing the order, she still wouldn’t have obeyed unconditionally
Not tothe order was Special assistant Yang, not someone that lances at Speaker Long and noticed his gradually hardening expression She decided to press the matter further and show no mercy despite her apparent victory “Since Special assistant Yang is using the Special Operations Forces as an exaent circuhly discuss it”
Special assistant Yang regained his co annoyed “Do you feel like you are qualified to express your opinion on the matter at hand? I’ve reiterated thishuman speech?”

Speaker Long hadn’t had the chance to express his opinion yet, but for sonified in repeatedly interrupting her, being downright discourteous
