Maybe it was because he slept for a day and a night, but this night, Xiang Bei couldn't sleep at all. My heart was blocked uncomfortably, my head still ached, and the back of my head sometimes felt like I was being pricked by a needle.

What's the matter, could it be that you are stimulated by this trouble, and what are the sequelae? Xiangbei rubbed his head gently, it seems that he is really old.

"Husband, your head still hurts?"

"Well, it's like something is coming out of my head. Xiangbei endured the pain, his face flushed, "Wife, I shouldn't have something growing in my head, right? ”

Hearing Xiang Bei laugh at himself like this, Zhou Xuecen felt instead of feeling in his heart, could it be that he already knew about the condition? However, she remembered the words of the attending physician, and the most important thing now was not to let Xiang Bei be stimulated in any way: "Don't guess, you want to take advantage of any cheapness! The doctor said that it's nothing, you just have too much mental pressure, just take a rest." ”

"Oh, the moment Yu Chongming's office fainted, I was still thinking, should I just leave? I'm not afraid to leave, what should you do?"

"There are more than thirty people, talking nonsense all day long, and there is no one on the mouth!"

"Seriously, if I die, you bury me by the sea. Facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, how pleasant. Then you find another one, I won't be jealous, just be good to you, just be good to you. ”

"Okay, then I'll find one now. However, if I die first and bury myself on the seashore, you accompany me every day, and we can see the sea every day. Let's do it!"

"Great idea, by the way, what time is it?"

"It's half past ten, are you tired, rest?" Zhou Xuecen looked at his phone, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly, it was already time to rest in the hospital, and when he looked at the clinical patient, he had already turned around and fell asleep.

Xiangbei shook his head: "I'm not sleepy at all. Wife, go home. I don't worry about Noyi. ”

Zhou Xuecen: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything, if there is anything to do with Nuoyi, Zhang Ke will call me." I'm in the hospital tonight. However, Nuo Yi said that when you are discharged from the hospital, I will give you a big gift!"

To the north: "What a big gift?"

Zhou Xuecen: "A super large excavator. ”

Xiang Bei: "Excavator? I think he wants a toy." yes, it looks like I'll have to get him ready as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital. This bear child, our family is about to become a toy story, police cars, ambulances, excavators, buses, trains, ......"

When he mentioned Nuoyi, Xiang Bei had a sad face, but his heart was full of happiness. With children, life has colors and thoughts.

When the lights went out, Xiang Bei lay in bed, unable to sleep, and his mind was full of things that were cut and tied. I don't want to! There's no hurdle you can't get over!

However, Zhou Xuecen finally got a good night's sleep. The ward to the north has two beds, and each bed has one place for an escort.

Zhou Xuecen was lying on the folding chair in the ward, leaning sideways and opening her mouth slightly—the top part of her head almost exceeded the headboard frame, holding the handle with both hands and resting her feet on the footboard. Because the folding chair was not fully expanded, Zhou Xuecen's body was a little curled, and the lying position even looked a little indecent, and he made a faint snoring sound.

Looking north through the faint light, he looked at Zhou Xuecen, and then reached out to gently cover her coat and comb her hair. Looking at it, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and it seemed that he had returned to his college days. Hey, if only we could turn back the clock, you can choose again.

Now, the two have to get through this hurdle together. Wife, Nuo Yi...... What should we do in the future? All we can see in front of us is confusion.

In the early morning of the next day, the overnight snow had dyed the urban area of Hedong white, and all the dust and haze were swept away, the sky was blue, and the earth was clear.

The wind was cold outside, and the ward was warm.

It was just after eight o'clock. Colleagues from the newspaper went to the hospital to "point out", and Yu Chongming came over with him.

"Oh, it's so snowy, it's a mess on the road. It seems that this year is another cold winter. Yu Chongming was now at the door of the ward, patting the snow on his clothes, and combing his hair wet from the rain and snow.

"Mr. Yu, why are you here?" Xiangbei tried to get up.

"To the north, how is your body," Yu Chongming stepped into the door of the ward and strode to the bed, "I heard yesterday that you woke up, there is no way, there are too many things in the newspaper, and everything is inseparable from me." Early this morning, I said I had to come and see you. ”

Yu Chongming put the fruit basket he was carrying on the side of the bed, and Zhou Xuecen hurriedly stepped forward and took the fruit basket when he saw this.

"Let the leader worry, and please make a special trip. Zhou Xuecen said.

Yu Chongming looked at Zhou Xuecen carefully, and then looked at Xiang Bei, with a surprised expression on his face: "Oh, this is my brother and sister, Xiang Bei often mentions you, you are really a virtuous helper." We've been friends for a long time, and we've only heard their voices and not seen them, haha. ”

"This is President Yu, the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper," Xiang Bei hurriedly introduced, "This is my wife Zhou Xuecen." ”

Zhou Xuecen nodded politely towards Yu Chongming: "Mr. Yu is good." I often hear Xiang Bei mention you and say that you usually take great care of him. Thank you so much. ”

"I have to thank you, Xiangbei is so good, I can't do without your support, this military merit medal has half of you!" Yu Chongming said.

"Mr. Yu praised falsely, he would interview and write manuscripts to the north, he didn't know how to be sophisticated, and sometimes it was inevitable to speak hard to hear and offend people. I hope you will bear with him and take care of him. ”

Hearing Zhou Xuecen say this, Yu Chongming's smile condensed awkwardly, but he was an "old Jianghu" after all, and after only two seconds, his expression instantly warmed up, and he squeezed out a weird laugh: "Uh...... The younger sibling laughed, haha...... Xiang Bei is our backbone reporter, an old comrade! Everyone envies him, and I envy him too, and my work in the newspaper depends entirely on him......

Yu Chongming didn't know what he was talking about. When people are nervous or embarrassed, they tend to organize their language in a chaotic and illogical way.

"Who is laughing here? I don't know if the ward should be quiet?" a white coat walked straight into the room, and it was the white-haired, gold-rimmed glasses attending physician.

"Doctor, this is the leader of our Beijiang Evening News, let's take a look at Xiangbei. The reporter who came with Yu Chongming was already familiar with the attending physician, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce his leader.

"Hello doctor, you've done a great job. Yu Chongming showed his trademark smile, polite and majestic.

In Hedong City and even in Bac Giang Province, who is not allowed to give a few thin noodles when I hear the Bac Giang Evening News? What's more, I am the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper in Chongming, the standard uncrowned king of kings, and the authentic iron hat king!

"It's the leader, then you should abide by the rules and regulations of the hospital. Don't you see, the patient next to you is still resting. "The attending physician is not used to the problem.

"Hey, yes, yes. Yu Chongming looked at the patient in the bed next to him and smiled embarrassedly.

The attending physician checked the medicines one by one, measured his blood pressure and body temperature to the north, and explained a few words to several interns around him.

Yu Chongming smiled and turned around: "To the north, how are the conditions of the hospital? No, I'll say hello to the dean and transfer a single room for you." Otherwise, let's change to a better hospital. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, it's good here. The doctors are very dedicated. ”

"That's good. To the north, let's talk alone?"

glanced north at Zhou Xuecen.

"I'll go downstairs in the cafeteria and buy you some breakfast. Mr. Yu, have you eaten, I'll buy you something to eat?" Zhou Xuecen was very interesting and knew that the two of them were going to get down to business.

"Brother and sister, you're welcome, I've eaten. Yu Chongming politely refused. Breakfast in the hospital? No, bad luck.

Zhou Xuecen left the ward, pondering about Yu Chongming along the way. What this person said after entering the ward made people's hearts warm, but I didn't expect that this Mr. Yu knew how to be considerate of his subordinates. Perhaps, things are not as bad as Xiang Bei thinks. However, from his hypocritical smile, he looked closely, and felt that this person was not good, at least with a purpose. Otherwise, when Xiangbei was in a coma yesterday, he, as the executive deputy editor-in-chief, should have come to visit his subordinates.

The patient in the bed next to him was also very interested, and turned his face away from the two of them.

Only Yu Chongming and Xiang North were left in the house. Yu Chongming closed the curtains between the hospital beds.

"Xiangbei, it may be a bit cruel to talk to you about the report letter now," Yu Chongming helped his glasses, touched a few strands of disobedient hair on his forehead, and his expression returned to seriousness, "I'm also helpless." As for how to deal with this, it has reached the point of urgency. It is impossible for a newspaper to passively wait for waves of negative public opinion to bombard indiscriminately. ”

Yu Chongming sat on the edge of the bed, next to Xiang Bei, and said in a low voice: "The last time we talked to you, we originally wanted to deal with this matter as low-key as possible and control the matter to be solved in a small area internally. But unexpectedly, someone actually posted the report letter on the Internet. The leadership of the newspaper office is like an ant on a hot pot, especially Lao Zhao, who you know, is in a hurry! This matter must be properly resolved!

"Mr. Yu, I understand what you mean. Xiangbei was a little excited, and his words choked up, "I've been thinking about this since I woke up." I still have the same position as before, and the content of the report letter is a false accusation. Now it seems that it is not only a frame-up, but also a frame-up with ulterior motives!"

"Even if you're right, so what? Let the public security organs file a case? Let the newspaper publish an article to refute the rumors? Or let the discipline inspection department check it? You know, if you really want to investigate, you dare to guarantee that there won't be any problems?" Yu Chongming was also a little excited, got up from his seat, and paced up and down the aisle between the two beds.

As he said to Chen Jizhou before, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and if you really check it, you will find out the problem. When the time comes, maybe someone will be unlucky.

"But you can't put the blame on me. The report letter is not directed at me alone. "Defend to the north.

"Yes, there's a lot of people involved. However, it is mainly against you, you are the initiator. People report you one after another, and the newspaper has to put out the fire urgently every time. ”

"Mr. Yu, what is the newspaper's opinion on how to solve this matter?"

Xiang Bei didn't want to be framed and debated with Yu Chongming. In order not to exacerbate the differences between the two, he changed the topic, and this topic was exactly what Yu Chongming wanted to hear. Of course, it's even more to the north to know.

Yu Chongming took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, sat back on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "Xiangbei, I may have to wronged you this time......

"What do you mean?!"

In response to the flood of comments on the Internet, the newspaper came up with a contingency plan. The newspaper decided to publish an article in the Bac Giang Evening News to comprehensively investigate the incident of the whistleblower letter. In addition, for issues involving you, the newspaper will investigate the disciplinary violations, and the illegal issues will be transferred to the public security organs for investigation. ”

"What?!Mr. Yu, is this the grievance you are talking about? This is a sacrifice!" Xiang Bei couldn't control his emotions at this time and roared loudly. "Oh no, sacrifice is a compliment, scapegoat me?"

I remember telling you that I hope you will have a grateful heart. Think about it, what was going to happen when you first started working? Didn't the newspaper raise you? It's like parents working hard to raise their children. Now you should share your parents' worries, eh...... Share the worries of the newspaper. That's the least polite thing to do. Yu Chongming still lowered his voice, he was afraid that this matter would make a fuss and lose his identity.

"No, no, absolutely not. Xiang Bei covered his head, his brain tearing in pain.

"Xiang Bei, you are an old comrade, you should be conscious! I hope you can think about it calmly, because only by doing so can we calm down the storm of public opinion and minimize the negative impact of this incident on the newspaper. In addition, the newspaper will also use its resources to the maximum extent possible to find ways to minimize the punishment against you. ”

"What if I don't accept it, what's the worst outcome for me?" the headache made people go crazy, and Xiangbei didn't bother to argue with him, and asked directly.

"You are so clever that you should be able to imagine that the newspaper will definitely have to dissociate itself from this matter, and the only way to dissociate itself is to dismiss you. You have to understand that after you leave your post, it is difficult to say how the public security organs will deal with it, and it has nothing to do with the newspaper. ”

Seeing Yu Chongming's eyes, Xiang Bei had never felt so strange, although through the thick lenses, Xiang Bei could see the complex emotions revealed in his eyes, fierce...... Indifferent...... Tearing the skin of the face......

This old boy usually smiles when he sees everyone, even the cleaning aunt who meets the urine pool in the bathroom, his little eyes can be narrowed into a slit. Could it be that he is a smiling tiger?

It is said that literati are inferior. Once the literati become ruthless, they will be even more hysterical than those politicians and businessmen!

Yu Chongming's words made Xiangbei completely cold. In the workplace, you should never expect to win the sympathy and care of your leaders with your misfortune and weakness.

These misfortunes seem to you to be a great thing, and to him they are but a speck of dust—since they are not related to them, there is nothing more important than their own interests.
