Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1011

1011 Beep your *ss Yin Shixiong was taken aback. “But it is one o’clock in the morning now? Mr. Huo, even though we do not really need to sleep as we are accustomed to working through the night, the same cannot be said for everyone!”

Especially the gentlemen from the Senate. Each and every one of them was extremely spoiled because they felt that they were the most superior amongst the three major organizations in Di Capital, as they had been selected. Therefore, they thought that they had the right to judge people as long as they could not get along with them.

Only Senior Speaker Long could control the egotistical people in the Senate.

“Moreover, Senior Speaker Long is getting on in years. I heard that he had been in meetings the entire day.” Yin Shixiong scratched his head. “You are sure you want to call him at this time?”

Huo Shaoheng’s smile disappeared as his gaze turned dark. “What is wrong? Do you want to get in my way now?”

“What? Of course not!” Yin Shixiong shook his hands. He was so afraid that he began to stammer. “I-I-I… was merely reminding Mr. Huo.”

“Then go and make the call.” Huo Shaoheng turned on the computer. “Just tell them that it is an emergency. If they are unable to get me through to Senior Speaker Long in ten minutes, I will make my way to his house personally.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Yin Shixiong did not dare to question Huo Shaoheng anymore as he jogged out of Huo Shaoheng’s office to make the call to Senior Speaker Long.

When a call was made to a person with a ranking as high as Senior Speaker Long, one had to call his office if it was work-related. For Senior Speaker Long, his office would be the secretarial department.

For example, no matter what time of day or night a person was looking for General Ji, they would have to call his office.

If they were closer to him, they would look for Secretary Cao directly.

For General Ji and Senior Speaker Long’s office, there would be people on duty to receive calls every single day of the year at any time.

The moment the people on duty received a call, they would transfer the call to the person in charge after deciding on the caller’s level of urgency.

Yin Shixiong called Senior Speaker Long’s secretarial department as usual.

The call rung a couple of times, but no one picked up. Instead, an automated teller could be heard saying, “Good day. This is the secretarial department of the Senate. Please leave your name, contact number, and reason for calling after the beep. We will return your call as soon as possible.”

“Beep your head, did I even request the beep?!” Yin Shixiong was fuming. It was already at an important juncture; the election was coming, and every single member from the Special Forces wished they could have four hands to be able to do more, but the spoilt brats from the Senate could not even answer a d*mn call?!

Huo Shaoheng’s office would have people on duty every single day of the year, at any time. They would have people on duty to receive the calls and transfer to the relevant person in charge immediately.

Every single call would be gotten back to within an hour, and it would be ten minutes for urgent matters.

But what about the Senate?

Yin Shixiong felt as though he had finally gotten to know what kind of people the members from the Senate truly were over the past week.

In a fit of anger, Yin Shixiong took the phone and began to run a program that was able to call numbers automatically. It would call but not leave a message. The phone would continue to ring over there, but no messages would be left.

Ten minutes later, the persistent ringing of the phone seemed to have woken up the person on duty at the secretarial office. He answered the call, saying hello in a sleepy voice, and continued, “Good day, this is…” in a dreamy tone.

Before he could even finish talking, Yin Shixiong had already begun to shout in anger. “We are from the office of Major General Huo from the Special Forces! Mr. Huo has something extremely urgent to speak to Senior Speaker Long about! Please transfer the d*mn call to Senior Speaker Long immediately!”

The person on duty was clearly shocked. After a moment, he asked, “Who are you again? And who would you be looking for?”

“I am looking for your *ss!” Yin Shixiong was furious. “Major General Huo from the Special Forces is requesting to see Senior Speaker Long for an extremely urgent matter! – You! Go and inform Senior Speaker Long right now! If you do not get back to me in one minute, I will go to Senior Speaker Long’s house personally to get him!”

The person on duty at the secretarial department had finally woken up. He hastily replied, “Please hold on!”

He put the call on hold and turned to Special Assistant Yang, who was working overtime. “Special Assistant Yang, Major General Huo from the Special Forces is requesting to see Senior Speaker Long for an extremely urgent matter. Should we inform Senior Speaker Long?”

Special Assistant Yang furrowed his eyebrows and looked at his watch. “It is already one o’clock in the morning. What thing could be so urgent that they could not wait until the next day? Senior Speaker Long has been in meetings the entire day and was already worn out. He has only just fallen asleep.””Alright then, I will inform them,” the person on duty said. They took the phone and answered Yin Shixiong, who was still on the other line. “Hello. Senior Speaker Long has been in meetings the entire day and is already extremely worn out. He has just gone home to rest. Could you please wait until daybreak to speak to him?”

“No. I cannot. If I could wait, do you think I really would have wasted my time calling now?!” Yin Shixiong was extremely assertive. “Alright; Senior Speaker Long has gone home, hasn’t he? We will look for him now.”

Yin Shixiong was just about to hang up the call when Special Assistant Yang picked up and began talking to him.

“Is this Lieutenant Yin?” Special Assistant Yang recognized Yin Shixiong’s voice. “What is it that you have to speak about that really cannot wait until tomorrow? You know, Senior Speaker Long is getting on in age, he has been in meetings the entire day and almost threw up just now, too…”

Yin Shixiong’s voice became stern. “Who are you? Why are you stopping us from seeing Senior Speaker Long?”

“I am Special Assistant Yang.” Special Assistant Yang informed Yin Shixiong quickly. “Lieutenant Yin, do you not remember me? We even spoke at the Senate today.”

“We spoke? Why do I not recall that?” Yin Shixiong pretended not to remember him on purpose.

“How could it be? You even handed me a document this morning, you forgot about that?” Special Assistant Yang knew that he had said something wrong the moment he said that, but he could not take back his words. It was too late.

Yin Shixiong laughed a loud and clear laugh. Each laugh was strong, and it made Special Assistant Yang extremely uneasy.

“Hahaha… yes, I had given a document to you in the morning and asked you to bring it to Senior Speaker Long to get it signed. I also said that I needed it as quickly as possible. Where is that document, Special Assistant Yang?”

Special Assistant Yang laughed good-naturedly and replied, “I have gotten Miss Gu to bring the document to senior speaker long to get it signed. Didn’t she inform you?”

Yin Shixiong asked, “Miss Gu?”

“Yes. The new intern, Miss Gu Nianzhi.” Special Assistant Yang looked at the records of the members of the Senate. “I have her contact information. Do you want her number to contact her and ask about the document?”

Special Assistant Yang knew that Gu Nianzhi grew up with Yin Shixiong and Huo Shaoheng, but intentionally pretended that he did. He even pretended to be making an official inquiry to give Yin Shixiong Gu Nianzhi’s contact number.

Yin Shixiong was extremely disgusted by how pretentious Special Assistant Yang was, but could not say that he was doing it wrong as well.

Because according to the standard operating procedures, they had to do it that way.

Yin Shixiong confirmed the information with Special Assistant Yang darkly, saying, “You really asked Miss Gu to bring that document to Senior Speaker Long to get it signed?”

“Yes, I did. I remember giving the document to her and asking her to bring the document to Senior Speaker Long the moment his meetings ended. Did she not complete the task?” Special Assistant Yang pretentiously asked the person on duty, “Where did Miss Gu place the signed document?”

“Special Assistant Yang, Miss Gu got off work right on time today. She did not bring any document to Senior Speaker Long, did she?” The person on duty indicated that he did not know anything about the incident.

“Oh no, then I am sorry. Most likely, Miss Gu had too many things on hand today and forgot to bring the document to Senior Speaker Long to get it signed. I believe you can understand it as well – she is new. We should not be too strict with a person who has just begun working here. Why don’t we do this? The moment she arrives tomorrow, I will get her to bring the document to Senior Speaker Long to get them signed immediately. What do you say?” Special Assistant Yang twirled a pen with his hand and asked lightheartedly.

“It is okay.” Yin Shixiong looked at Huo Shaoheng, who was getting impatient, and replied quickly, “We shall not bother you. I will get the document immediately and bring it to Senior Speaker Long personally.”

Special Assistant Yang was unhappy now. “Lieutenant Yin, I have said that Senior Speaker Long is sleeping. What is so important that you cannot wait until morning?”
