Bai Yueran straightened her expression, coughed, walked to Huo Shaoheng, smiled and said to Cai Shengnan who was standing in front of them: "Are you Ms. Cai? I have seen you for a long time, but we are busy today and do not have time to receive you. Please go back first. When we are free in a few days, can we make an appointment to talk?"
Cai Shengnan has been back to China for less than a month, but he has already recognized the top figures in the Chinese Empire.
The situations in the Chinese Empire and the United States are not quite the same, but they also have similarities.
The United States has a separation of powers between parliament, government, and court system, while the Chinese Empire has a coexistence of parliament, government, and military.
Courts are divided into ordinary courts and military courts. The former is under the jurisdiction of the government's Ministry of Justice, and the latter is under the jurisdiction of the military ministry.
Like the United States, the upper and lower houses of the Chinese Empire's parliament were elected by the people.
The elected members represent the interests of all parties, and there are many overlapping interest groups behind them, and even foreign forces are involved.
But this situation is normal for all countries with democratic elections.
Because lobbying groups representing the interests of all parties legitimately exist, and lobbying groups can represent foreign forces.
As long as everyone plays according to the rules, it is allowed.
Speaker Long is the Speaker of the Upper House of Parliament. He has been a member of the Upper House of Parliament for more than 30 years. From a fledgling member to the now powerful Speaker, his status is certainly extraordinary.
And as the Speaker of the House of Lords, like the Prime Minister, he has the state-licensed power to recruit personal assistants. Although it is paid by the state, this is within the scope of his power.
By electing him, voters recognize this privilege.
For example, the newly elected president of the United States did not hesitate to place his daughter, son-in-law, and son in important positions in the presidential palace. No one said that he was nepotistic, because everyone did it this way.
The President of the United States also requires congressional approval to appoint government officials.
But for officials in the White House, the president alone has the final say.
This is considered his personal sphere of influence, just like the staff masters of the ancient Chinese Empire.
The only difference is that in ancient times, staff officers were supported by officials themselves, but officials in the U.S. presidential office, although they belong to the president's personal sphere of influence, are supported by the state.
Cai Shengnan is now the chief legal adviser privately designated by Speaker Long to provide him with legal support and services for his personal affairs.
We have not yet entered the special offices of the Parliament.
But with her momentum, it's probably just around the corner.
As long as she can pass the political review.
In order to achieve this goal, Cai Shengnan worked hard among the upper-class families of the Chinese Empire.
Bai Yueran, director of the Special Operations Judicial Affairs Office, and Cai Shengnan have long been familiar with it.
She admired professional women who were in high positions at a young age, so she said to Bai Yueran in a friendly manner, "Are you Director Bai?"
"Oh? Ms. Cai actually knows about me?" Bai Yueran raised her eyebrows in surprise, and couldn't help but become more wary of Cai Shengnan.
"I heard from my uncle, Prime Minister Tan, and Speaker Long that you have gained a reputation in the legal field at a young age. You became famous in the International Court of Justice in The Hague. I admire you very much!"
Cai Shengnan said, taking the initiative to extend his hand to shake Bai Yueran's hand.
Bai Yueran smiled more meaningfully, "Oh? Even the lawsuit I fought at the International Court of Justice in The Hague knows that Ms. Cai is really thoughtful."
"Of course, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle!" Cai Shengnan laughed heartily and retracted his hand.
She took out the pile of documents in her hand and handed them to Bai Yueran, "Since Director Bai is here, please help me see these documents. Your Major General Huo won't let me in. I don't think this request is legal. .”
Bai Yueran didn't take her ID either. He put his hands behind his back and stood as straight as Huo Shaoheng.
"Ms. Cai, you only know one thing, but not the other. First of all, I am not a professional who checks documents, so I can't tell whether they are genuine or not, so it's useless for you to give them to me."
Cai Shengnan's expression finally changed, and he interrupted Bai Yueran, "Director Bai is saying that my ID is fake? - I won't bear the blame!"
"Don't be angry. I didn't say whether your ID is true or false. I just said that I don't have the right to check your ID." Bai Yueran said with a smile, his tone was very kind, but it seemed that Cai Shengnan, who was straightforward, was a little unreasonable.
Cai Shengnan finally realized what it felt like to have a needle hidden in cotton.
She took back her certificate and said slowly: "Why is it so complicated? Are you really not trying to embarrass me?"
"Ms. Cai, how can you talk like this? You came back from the United States and have been a practicing lawyer in the United States for many years. Don't you know the importance of procedures? Checking your ID when you enter is due process, so don't look for others after entering. Check. Admiral Huo was stopped by our Young Master Huo earlier. Wasn’t it because of procedural issues? You also specifically showed the procedures you followed, and the passes and authorization letters you obtained. Have you forgotten them? "
Bai Yueran began to demonstrate her expertise as the director of the Special Operations Judicial Affairs Division.
Huo Shaoheng stood aside with his hands behind his back and a calm expression. He did not interrupt the bickering between the two women, but he also had no intention of leaving.
Cai Shengnan was suffocated by Bai Yueran's words, but she quickly found the entry point and sneered: "Procedure? You ignored the authorization letter and pass generated by the program, shut us out without saying a word, and now you come to follow me Talk about procedures?"
"Haha, Ms. Cai, please be reasonable. You can't talk to us about procedures when we are talking about the law. When we are talking about the procedures, you come to tell us about your grievances... It's all you who talks about it. It makes sense, so where can we go to make excuses?”
Bai Yueran retorted without being humble or arrogant, and even Gu Nianzhi, who was watching not far away, secretly applauded.
Cai Shengnan narrowed his eyes.
Bai Yueran's ability is higher than what she found out through investigation...
Although the debate at the International Court of Justice in The Hague was exciting, Cai Shengnan believed that he could not do it.
But today, in a face-to-face confrontation with her, he actually had no advantage at all.
It seems that she has to re-evaluate the work quality of these legal personnel in the Chinese Empire.
"I'm not telling you that I'm wronged." Cai Shengnan shook the pass and authorization letter in his hand, "I'm just surprised. Logically speaking, the order of the parliament should be the highest authorization, right? You can actually refute it. It's beyond me. It’s unexpected. Maybe it’s because I just returned to China and I haven’t adapted to your way of working.”
"Our Chinese empire has long been in line with international standards, and in some aspects, it is already more advanced than foreign countries." Bai Yueran kicked the topic back, implying that Cai Shengnan was making trouble unreasonably, and whether he could adapt to the working style was completely different.
"Really? Since it has been integrated and the power of the parliament is also supreme, why can your Major General Huo veto my authorization letter from the parliament?" Cai Shengnan caught the loophole in Bai Yueran's words and started to fight back without hesitation. .
"Look, is this the seal of the Parliament? Also, are you an organization established with the authorization of the Parliament? You all dare to disobey the orders of the Parliament. No wonder some people say that you are 'too big to lose your tail' and that you are working together to build a small mountain. !" Cai Shengnan became aggressive, "If you compare the country to a big company, then do you know what you are doing? - You are blatantly disobeying your boss's orders, and the parliament can directly fire you!"
Because of the special nature of the Special Operations Division, there have been many people who were dissatisfied with it from the first day it was established.
Only with the strong escort of the two heavyweights, Speaker Long and General Ji, was it possible to reach its current scale today.
Huo Shaoheng is not the kind of soldier who only cares about performing his own tasks. He also has a full understanding of the complexity and particularity of politics.
From Cai Shengnan's words, Huo Shaoheng was keenly aware that someone was beginning to covet the special operations department again and wanted a piece of the pie.
At this time, if Cai Shengnan is offended too harshly, there is no telling what the consequences will be.
But if you give in now, I'm afraid the consequences will be more serious.
Bai Yueran was also temporarily frightened by Cai Shengnan.
The power of Parliament is indeed constitutionally supreme, and the House of Lords is also the body to which the Special Operations Department reports.
It was only after Huo Shaoheng gave a speech in the Upper House of Parliament that he obtained special permission to expand the scope of the Special Operations Department.
To put it bluntly, if the Upper House of Parliament decides to withdraw its authorization, what can the Special Operations Department do
Bai Yueran and Huo Shaoheng were silent for a while. In the square in front of the office building of the Special Operations Division headquarters, the cold wind blew, and it was so empty that it made people feel panicked.
I only saw an RV parked here. Although there were many people in the RV, no one dared to speak loudly.
Seeing that he had finally blocked their mouths, Cai Shengnan felt so happy in his heart that he planned to keep up his efforts and capture Huo Shaoheng and Bai Yueran in one fell swoop.
If she can get involved in the Special Operations Department, her future in the Chinese Empire will be limitless.
She has been in the United States for many years, and although she has reached the status of a partner of the second largest law firm, her outsider feeling is still very obvious, which often makes her feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, she does not want to be naturalized like her father. She still wants to return to her own country, stand out in her own territory, and enjoy the glory of being above everyone else.
"How is it? Major General Huo? Director Bai? Can I go in?"
Cai Shengnan puffed out his chest and took a step forward.
…
Gu Nianzhi, who was watching from a distance, was anxious. He couldn't let this woman go any further, right? !
If we really let her in today, where will Mr. Huo's face be from now on
For a commander, the consequences of losing his prestige are very serious.
But Cai Shengnan's words do have her own truth. Didn't even Bai Yueran say anything without looking at it
That's right, holding a letter of authorization from the Upper House of Parliament is indeed unusual for people like Bai Yueran, Huo Shaoheng and others in the system.
But what Cai Shengnan just said went too far.
This was a slap in the face to Huo Shaoheng in public. Gu Nianzhi would never allow anyone to slap Huo Shaoheng in the face in front of her.
Her mind was racing, and she heard Cai Shengnan say: "...if you disobey your boss's order, the council can fire you directly!"
Bingo!
Gu Nianzhi immediately thought of a topic that could directly bring Cai Shengnan back to his grandma's house.
She quickly picked up her phone and said to Yin Shixiong over there: "Brother Daxiong, pick me up Mr. Huo, right away!"
Yin Shixiong stood behind Huo Shaoheng, feeling extremely aggrieved. When he heard Gu Nianzhi's words, his eyes lit up when he thought that she could fight against bitches legally, and he received Huo Shaoheng's cell phone for her without saying a word.
Huo Shaoheng wore a Bluetooth headset and was always in contact with Zhao Liangze.
Yin Shixiong came in on a tangent and connected Gu Nianzhi's cell phone.
Gu Nianzhi's crisp voice immediately sounded from Huo Shaoheng's Bluetooth headset, "... Mr. Huo, just tell her that the Congress can't even oust Prime Minister Tan who was impeached by the grand jury, so don't make such nonsense and think that you can fire people at will." It’s squid.”
Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but laugh.
It’s really narrow-minded…
This point of view can also be thought of by her.
Gu Nianzhi's words immediately inspired Huo Shaoheng, and he no longer worried about offending the parliament, and they would withdraw the authorization for the Special Operations Department.
Huo Shaoheng said it without hesitation: "Ms. Cai, you said that since the parliament has so much power, why can't it even remove Prime Minister Tan who was impeached by the grand jury?"
When Cai Shengnan heard this, his face turned dark, and he almost vomited blood from the pain!
This is standard use of her spear to attack her shield!
She just said here that the power of the parliament is supreme and can do almost anything, but Huo Shaoheng immediately mentioned that the impeachment case of Prime Minister Tan initiated by the parliament failed directly under her operation!
If she insists on the supreme power of Parliament and the Special Operations Department must obey unconditionally, how can she explain that Parliament cannot impeach Prime Minister Tan and step down? !
After all, the government can only form a cabinet with the authorization of the parliament. It is essentially the same agency as the Special Operations Department.
The other party was obviously pointing out to her that the power of the Parliament was not supreme, but had checks and balances and weaknesses!
What should she say at this time to avoid being slapped in the face? !
