Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the spring of 2016, and Xiangbei has been in prison for a year and a half.

Every time Zhou Xuecen lies down in her dilapidated apartment, she often fantasizes about such a scene: one morning, the sun is shining, the sky is clear blue, and she breathes freely. A group of people dressed in formal clothes and carrying official documents arrived at the cell to the north. With a "bang", the door was opened, and a person with a righteous face and a straight body took a step forward and said in an almost standard broadcast tone: "Xiangbei, I now officially inform you that we have investigated your case and you have been acquitted!"

Every time Zhou Xuecen imagined this scene, he would unconsciously laugh out loud. However, she knew that this might not happen in reality. However, this is at least a living belief, which allows Zhou Xuecen to survive and be excited, without the slightest fatigue.

Of course, dreams still have to be had, and what if they come true?

It was another warm spring, and Zhou Xuecen received a strange call: "May I ask if you are Xiangbei's lover Zhou Xuecen Ms. Zhou?"

The voice of the character on the phone is deep, obviously not the standard broadcast tone, but with a slight southern accent. He is Chen Jizhou, head of the discipline inspection team of Beijiang Evening News.

……

This story starts half a year ago.

The verdict of the second instance made Xiang Bei's sentence final, and he officially began his four-year prison life.

According to common sense, with the "sacrifice" of one person to the north in exchange for the smooth landing of the rest of the people, the whole thing can be regarded as the end of the song and everyone is happy. However, severe storms will inevitably sweep to the tail of the typhoon. After the incident of the whistleblower letter, Zhao Qingdong, Yu Chongming and others have been uneasy.

Recalling the whole process of the Xiangbei incident, Zhao Qingdong and Yu Chongming also suspected that someone deliberately rectified themselves, and the other party seemed to want to use the report letter incident as an excuse to hit the opponent and leave a stain on the career of the two. Who is this man? The two of them never guessed, and they never told each other. It's all silently hidden in my heart.

After all, after so many years in the workplace, they have moved to towns, counties, districts, and cities, and served in many units, so it is indeed difficult to say who deliberately made a stumbling block. Even if there are three or five suspicious people, they can't find evidence, so they can only curse the other party in their hearts that they can't die well.

Two years after Xiangbei was imprisoned, Zhao Qingdong and Yu Chongqing's positions were adjusted. Zhao Qingdong was transferred to the chairman of the labor union of Beijiang Newspaper Group, which seemed to be a flat transfer, but in fact he was assigned to Leng Yamen, a vacant position, waiting for retirement. In addition, there are two years between this transfer and the report letter incident, and no one will link the two together, which can be regarded as saving Zhao Qingdong's face. Yu Chongqing was transferred to Beijiang Newspaper Publishing House as deputy editor-in-chief, which can be regarded as being kicked out of the real power department.

Qu Changguo still knows the art very well - there are obviously intricate considerations behind this seemingly ordinary transfer, and it seems that they have lost points in the northward incident. Qu Changguo had speculated at that time that after the Xiangbei incident, the two would be punished, but perhaps for the sake of face, they would not report it. Today's results confirm his suspicions.

Many people can't see through it, but he can't see through it. That's the master.

The unit has always been a turnip and a pit, and if someone vacates the pit, there will be a new person to fill it. The new president of the Beijiang Evening News is named Xiahou Mingqi, who was parachuted from above, according to the evaluation of the personnel department: This person is just over 40, and he is young and promising.

Everyone originally thought that there were two vacancies, which could be increased in turn, but they made a trip to bite the gold halfway. Xiahou Mingqi's airborne landing brought about the consequence of a few happy and a few sad.

Ruan Yiyi, the small speaker of the newspaper, has always liked to inquire and spread all kinds of gossip. Whenever she enters the lunch break in the editing plane, she will always chatter and gather all kinds of information among several colleagues. Then this information will be shared and exchanged with Qu Changguo.

Actually, she didn't have any plans. This is the same as everyone's hobbies, some people like to watch American dramas, some people like to play football, some people like to play online games, and some people like parents. She's the kind of woman who likes to gossip behind the door, what can you do with her?

He joined the company in the same year as Zhang Zhiyao, and now he is not even the director of a department, what else can he do? This is Ruan Yiyi's inner monologue.

Ruan Yiyi and Qu Changguo's news, body sharing and exchange are mostly carried out in the dimly lit underground parking lot, which is safe, cost-effective, convenient and fast.

After getting off work, the two drove to the underground parking lot of the mall again, Qu Changguo is an anxious person, and there is a rhythm of doing things and doing things - short and fast, three times five divided by two, and Ruan Yiyi will be done neatly. Ruan Yiyi felt uncomfortable, every time I serve you, when will you serve my wife well?

"What gossip can you share recently?" Qu Changguo tied his belt and packed it up, he felt that it was best to have some desserts after dinner, and these gossips were desserts.

Ruan Yiyi is not as trouble-free as him, all the sewage is discharged to his body, and it takes half a day to clean it up, wasting several paper towels. She wiped it for a long time, felt that it was clean, smelled her hands again, and there was a little fishy smell, but it didn't matter.

"There's no gossip. As soon as the matter to the north is over, everyone feels so bored. There's one less thing to talk about," Ruan Yiyi suddenly thought of something, and put her chin on Qu Changguo's right shoulder with interest, "I heard that the new president will take office next month, what is this person?"

"I knew you had to talk about this man. Qu Changguo stretched out his hand and rubbed Ruan Yiyi's hair, like stroking a puppy. Ruan Yiyi's wavy hair exuded a strong smell of shampoo.

Of course, this is in everyone's interest in the newspaper. Of course I do. Ruan Yiyi sprinkled a coquettish in Qu Changguo's arms, touched the root of this top boss fiercely, and smacked him heavily on the neck.

Qu Changguo broke free.

"How dare you hide!"

"You don't want to live, I still want to live. How can I explain it when I get home? "Qu Changguo is a bold and careful person, and he is thoughtful in everything.

"What's so scary? Didn't that old woman go abroad to study?" Ruan Yiyi knew his family situation well.

"yes, but I'll be back in two days. I'll have to tell you, we won't be able to see each other so often starting next week. ”

"I don't want to! I can see you whenever I want!" Ruan Yiyi rubbed around him like a docile puppy.

"Be obedient, don't play with children's tempers. "Qu Changguo is a few years older than her, and she is obviously a little more mature and stable, which is also what attracts Ruan Yiyi.

"Hey, when are you going to divorce that tigress?"

This question haunted both of them almost all the time. Qu Changguo felt that it was too difficult to answer, and if he didn't do it, he would completely destroy the harmonious atmosphere in front of him and make everyone break up unhappily. He's a smart guy and simply changes the subject.

"By the way, I heard a little bit about the new president you just mentioned. ”

Ruan Yiyi was a stupid woman, and she was easily taken away by this new topic, she stretched out her head and asked, "What's the news, tell me." ”

"Although this man is only in his forties, he is still very powerful. Of course, it may not only be capable, but also have a background. In the past few years, he has risen to the top step by step, and the limelight has overshadowed many old faces, and he has suddenly become a new star of Beijiang Newspaper Group. ”

"Is it, so powerful? I don't know if he's handsome...... Eh, I don't know if it's powerful......" Ruan Yiyi looked mysterious. It's really scary for a woman to get sexy.

Qu Changguo pinched her thigh fiercely: "If you talk nonsense again, I will punish you heavily." ”

"Don't, don't, I'm wrong," Ruan Yiyi laughed and broke away, "Alas, you go on." ”

"If you think about it, five years ago, this man was the head of a small department. But in the past five years, he has risen through the ranks to become the CEO of one of the group's core departments. This is no joke, it has cost me all my life's luck. Qu Changguo looked admiring.

"Then you say, after he comes, will he be like that Zhao Qingdong, forcing us to write manuscripts all day long, and they are all unnutritious manuscripts. ”

"You compare Zhao Qingdong with him? You really underestimate this person. As far as I know, he has commented on the work of Beijiang Evening News in the past two years in public, and he has also commented on Zhao Qingdong. All the comments are only two words: Bad reviews! So, I'm curious about what this Xiahou Mingqi will do with the Beijiang Evening News after he comes. ”

Ruan Yiyi disagreed: "How can it be so easy to change." I'm more curious about who the position of executive deputy editor-in-chief will be after he comes. Or will it be airborne, or will you choose one of you and Chen Lu?"

"I said that this position would be mine, do you believe it?" Qu Changguo said easily.

"Cut. On seniority, it is a matter of course. If you come up, where will Chen Lu go? She is much older than you. ”

"Hehe, you just wait patiently to see the show. Qu Changguo said with a smile, his face full of disdain.

Sure enough, within a few days, the selection of the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the Beijiang Evening News began.

The appointment of the executive deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper was seen by everyone as both expected and unexpected. This time, the candidate for executive deputy editor-in-chief was not parachuted into the post of president, but was selected from competition within the newspaper.

The order of the three deputy editors-in-chief is Yu Chongming, Chen Lu, and Qu Changguo, if according to the convention, after Yu Chongming is transferred, this position should be extended to Chen Lu. Even if it is a vote, it is only a formality at best. However, just when the competition for this post entered the white-hot stage, the city issued a red-headed document: "In order to have successors and prosperity in various undertakings, encourage the selection of young cadres, and build a 'fast track' for them to grow."

This document almost supports Qu Changguo by name. The whole newspaper was discussing: What is this Qu Changguo's ability, and there are actually people in the city to support him? Or is this kid lucky and has hit a big luck?

None of this is known.

However, Chen Lu, who was originally gearing up and eager to try, looked like he was determined to win, and even walked and talked usually, he had gradually cultivated a standing temperament. This time it's good, the whole person has become a frosted eggplant, and it wilts in an instant.

If you don't accept it, you can't help it. Exit is a foregone conclusion, and there are only two options left: either resign with backbone, or compromise and obey the arrangement. Chen Lu is still a little woman's temperament, and finally chose the latter.

As the saying goes, when you catch the wind, pigs can fly. With a piece of paper, the tide of battle was quickly reversed, Chen Lu was exposed, and left the editorial department. Qu Changguo took the position and served as the executive deputy editor-in-chief of Hedong Evening News.

Let's talk about the new head of Beijiang Evening News.

Regarding the report letter incident that year, Xiahou Mingqi naturally heard about it. Moreover, he has also heard rumors in the market: the Beijiang Evening News let a reporter come out to top the bag, in exchange for the safe landing of the leaders. In the drastic changes in the situation, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have appeared in their original forms. The minds of the people up and down the editorial department have changed.

The unfinished project left by the previous leadership team made Xiahou Mingqi feel a headache, if he didn't investigate clearly, he might only be empty talk if he wanted to make a difference. So he made up his mind: Start with this case, deal with a group of people, and open up the situation for future work.

A new broom sweeps clean. The first time Xiahou Mingqi attended a meeting of middle-level and above cadres of the newspaper, he pointed out the Xiangbei incident and made it clear that the newspaper's discipline inspection team should start with the internal investigation of the newspaper and eliminate the negative impact of the whistleblower letter incident as soon as possible, so that all reporters can concentrate on reporting work.

Chen Jizhou's eyes lit up when he heard Xiahou Mingqi's speech, maybe the time had come. After the meeting ended, he knocked on Xiahou Mingqi's office.

"Comrade Lao Chen, hello, hello. Xiahou Mingqi got up and stepped forward to greet Chen Jizhou, "Come, sit down, sit down and talk." ”

Chen Jizhou sat down and looked at the new president carefully. According to his age, Chen Jizhou is already in his fifties, his temples have already grown gray hair, and he has not been able to work in the discipline inspection team for a few years, while Xiahou Mingqi is in his forties.

"President Xiahou, you mentioned the whistleblower letter incident at the meeting today, and you also gave instructions asking the discipline inspection team to restart the investigation of the case. So, I'd like to give you a brief briefing. ”

"Okay! Comrade Chen, you are a veteran discipline inspector, and I thank you for your support for the newspaper's cause and my own work. Xiahou Mingqi's tone was sincere and modest.

"President, you're welcome, this is what I should do. Chen Jizhou put the stack of documents in his hand on the desk. "These bags contain information from our previous investigations. There are also materials in this folder, which are the materials reflected by Zhou Xuecen. ”

"Zhou Xuecen, who is this person?" asked Xiahou Mingqi as he flipped through the list on the cover of the document bag.

"Oh, he's the wife of the north. Chen Jizhou hurriedly added, "In the past two years, she has been running for things to the north, not only filing a complaint with the Provincial High Court, but also going to the city and the province." Of course, there is also our newspaper, well, these are the materials she handed in. ”
