As Xiang Bei expected, submitting the review book is only the first step, and there are follow-up actions waiting for him. This is like a primary school student being punished, in addition to review, he must also be punished and criticized. Otherwise, the lesson is not deep enough. People are forgetful.

Early the next morning, Xiang Bei received a notice that he would hand over the gifts he had received. The gift was placed in the car, and it was never taken out, which saved trouble, and the trunk could finally be freed up.

Carrying the set of ceramic handicrafts to the north, the handicraft packaging box is large and heavy, and the gilded reflective cover is very eye-catching. Even if you take the elevator upstairs from the underground garage, you have to pass through a long corridor in the middle, it is working time, people come and go, and everyone looks at them curiously: to the north, you kid is amazing, go to work with gifts in broad daylight!

Xiangbei felt that the already heavy gift box was even heavier.

finally walked to Chen Jizhou's office, and he was already sweating profusely to the north. After so many years of experience in society, he didn't expect to be so thin-skinned, and Xiang Bei secretly scolded himself: No interest! Thick-skinned, eat enough! He stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mood.

"Leader, the gift is for you!" Xiang Bei knocked on Chen Jizhou's office and put the big box in the corner.

"You kid, how do you talk, you gave me a gift?" Chen Jizhou stared at Xiang Bei.

Xiang Bei understands Chen Jizhou's temperament, a southerner, speaks softly and softly, even if he occasionally makes a joke, he doesn't take it to heart.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Xiang Bei hurriedly explained, "Leader, you have read the review book, no problem." ”

Although it is not a reporter's big plane, there are still people walking around in the corridor from time to time, Chen Jizhou looked out of the door, calmly closed the door, and walked to Xiangbei.

"The review has passed. To the north, do you know how much this set of porcelain costs?" Chen Jizhou mysteriously stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers.

To the north: "500?"

Chen Jizhou shook his head.

Xiang North: "5,000 yuan?"

Chen Jizhou nodded.

"It's so expensive? Aren't it just a few broken bowls? Xiang Bei broke out in a cold sweat again.

"So, this punishment is light. In order to protect you, I am under a lot of pressure," Chen Jizhou said in a tone of lesson, "You kid must tighten the string of discipline in the future, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!"

"Rest assured, leader, even if I lose this job, I won't block you. ”

"Lose your job? Let's go, let's go. What to do, what to do. Chen Jizhou deliberately pretended to be impatient and sent him to the north to leave.

Xiang Bei nodded frequently, turned around to leave, but found that there was an identical gift box in the corner of Chen Jizhou's office, could it be a gift that had just been handed in?

Chen Jizhou saw Xiang Bei's gaze and understood his doubts, "This is what Luo Fangyi just handed in today." ”

"Luo Fangyi?" Xiang Bei was very surprised, it seemed that she was also implicated, "Leader, in fact, this matter is mainly caused by me, and it has nothing to do with Luo Fangyi, without my permission, she will not dare to accept it." So, can you stop punishing her in this matter? This girl is actually quite smart and has strong business ability, and if she can work for the newspaper, I believe she will do a good job. ”

"I don't have to take care of the editing platform. However, Luo Fangyi is still only in the internship stage, and from the perspective of discipline, I will find a way to deal with it. As for Yu Chongming, I don't know how they decided, but I will tell them," Chen Jizhou said, "The key now is you, first, the review book has been handed in, second, the gift has been handed in, and third, it should be suspended." Let the editor-in-chief's office decide. ”

"Roger. Turning north, he found Luo Fangyi behind him, "Xiao Luo, why are you here?"

"Master, Mr. Yu asked me to find you......" Luo Fangyi looked depressed.

She probably wouldn't have heard the conversation just now.

Xiangbei wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only pat her lightly on the shoulder.

Xiang North came to Yu Chongming's office, "Mr. Yu, are you looking for me?"

"To the north," Yu Chongming said, "now this matter is in a sensitive period, combined with the opinions of the discipline inspection team, I think you should go back and rest for a few days first, and when the matter here is dealt with, the editor-in-chief's office will notify you to go to work." You can also take this opportunity to relax and adjust your mindset. ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yu, then I'll wait for your notification. "Xiang Bei thought to himself, it's just what I want, it's good to rest for a few days.

Yu Chongming said: "By the way, to the north, there is one more thing...... Luo Fangyi's internship is over!"

It's over? It's not just a coincidence, right? Needless to say, it must have something to do with this matter, "Mr. Yu, although Luo Fangyi also attended the dinner, she did it according to my arrangement, and you also know that he is just an intern, and he has no right to choose...... Moreover, the set of porcelain that was given to her, she has also handed it in. ”

Xiang Bei said this sentence on almost all occasions, and even he felt embarrassed, but how else could he explain it?

"I know that because she's not a regular employee of the newspaper, she's just been terminated from her internship, you know? I'll put it bluntly, it's a kind of protection for her. ”

Xiangbei understood what Yu Chongming meant, and the development of things to this point is a good choice for Luo Fangyi himself and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, ending Luo Fangyi's internship period. But in this way, the possibility of her being hired by the Beijiang Evening News is very small. After all, a person who is already tainted before she is hired can be rejected by the employer for 10,000 reasons.

"As for whether Luo Fangyi is hired, the editor-in-chief's office will consider it in accordance with the recruitment process and requirements," Yu Chongming said, "and the new interns will report this afternoon." ”

Xiangbei didn't say anything, and returned to the editing plane to look for Luo Fangyi, but there was no trace of her. Where has this girl gone? Could it be that she is already gone? He took out his mobile phone and called Luo Fangyi, but no one answered.

Xiangbei sent another WeChat message to Luo Fangyi: Where are you?

A few minutes later, Luo Fangyi replied: I am on the sixth floor to apply for the internship certificate.

Xiang Bei replied: Okay, come to the coffee bar on the fifth floor to find me after a while!

The coffee bar on the fifth floor is at the entrance of the reporter's office area, which is a small area for chatting and resting, where reporters like to sit during their lunch break or when they are tired from work, order a cup of coffee, drink or snack, chat, absorb positive energy, and suddenly resurrect with full blood.

Xiang Bei found a seat and sat down, ordered coffee in advance, coffee without sugar, this is Luo Fangyi's habitual way of drinking. Half an hour later, Luo Fangyi arrived at the coffee bar with a backpack on his back.

Looking up at him to the north, he was still wearing the same white shirt with a neat Nizi coat on top. This reminded Xiangbei of the scene when he first saw her in Luohe Village, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Xiao Luo, I'm really sorry, I bothered you. ”

"Master, don't say that. I've been doing my internship for two months and it's coming to an end. "This girl is worried about her life, and now she still wants to comfort others.

"If I hadn't let you participate in the investigation of the Luohe Village incident, if I hadn't let you attend that dinner, it wouldn't have been like this. In fact, normally speaking, it won't be long before your stay can be decided. ”

"It's okay, Master. I've also figured it out, and I can't help myself with a lot of things, so I just do my best. I've learned so much from you these days, and I really appreciate you. ”

"Don't say that," Xiang Bei felt a little ashamed, now that he Luo Fangyi had "hitched" in because of himself, and he was talking about whether to learn or not, "I am not worthy of being your master." I've taken you to the pit. ”

Luo Fangyi "giggled" and laughed, "You didn't bring this 'pit', Master. I think there's someone behind it. ”

"Someone is making trouble?" Xiang Bei was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about it so much, he only felt that the mistakes he made were objective facts, and he didn't analyze why the whistleblower reported it.

Although Luo Fangyi is not deeply involved in the world, and sometimes he is even stunned, he is very sharp when he sees people and things. Whether she is guessing or not, just because she can think of this shows that this girl has a good mind. At this point, the northward movement seems a bit wooden, or conformist.

However, no matter whether anyone is making trouble now, Xiangbei has no intention of finding out the person behind it. After all, it was he who made his mistake first, even if someone was deliberately digging this "pit", if he had seen it clearly and had a snack, he would not have fallen so badly!

"What are you going to do next?" asked Xiangbei.

"I went back to school to finish my dissertation and then ...... There are other recruitment opportunities or internship opportunities, and I will go again. Belch...... What about you, Master?"

"I, hehe, I'm suspended. Xiang Bei smiled bitterly.

"I heard them say ......"

"Everyone knows, it seems that the punishment decision has been announced," this is what Xiang Bei is most worried about.

Working in a unit, once you have a demerit, it is like the letter A that Hester is forced to wear on her chest in the novel "The Scarlet Letter", which is a brand carved by others on you, which is difficult to erase.

"Whatever anyone else thinks. Although I have a demerit and a suspension, I can still eat this bowl of rice after all. The family still has to rely on me to feed them!"

"Master is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and this little thing is not a problem. Come on, Master!" Luo Fangyi looked serious.

Seeing Luo Fangyi's serious and eager appearance, Xiangbei felt a little funny and moved.

"Xiao Luo, for your stay and concern, I will find a way to recommend it to the editor-in-chief's office. Belch...... I can't protect myself now, but I've been working here for 8 years. As the saying goes, there is hard work without merit, and the leader has to give my old comrade a little face. ”

"Thank you, Master, let it all be as it should. ”

Luo Fangyi does not have the playful energy she used to have, although it is not superficial, the blow to her from this incident is engraved in her heart.

Xiangbei still wanted to comfort her: "Helping you is not only because you call me Master, but also because you have the potential in this area." Of course, I can only do my best. ”

Unconsciously, the two chatted until close to noon, and since they had been suspended, the newspaper office had nothing to stay, and Xiangbei decided to go home directly.

When I left the newspaper office, I looked back at the hall to the north, and suddenly I looked like I was looking at my lover who had just broken up—a familiar strangeness.
