The reshuffle of the Beijiang Evening News has formed an undercurrent among employees, and in the face of an uncertain future, everyone is in danger.

However, Xiahou Mingqi's two brushes played a role at this time. First, through the improvement of salaries, a group of Xiahou Mingqi appeared among the employees, and these people played a great role in the stability of the newspaper. Second, through learning activities again and again, people with ghosts in their hearts have become more and more unsteady, and they have already thought of a way out and prepared for the worst.

Therefore, even if a large number of people are punished, it will not cause a big mess in the newspaper. As for those employees who were only warned and punished, they naturally worked harder, which made the work of the newspaper a big step forward.

Just when this undercurrent was about to subside, the news of his release from prison from the north spread among the employees, forming a new wave of topics. In particular, the editorial platform continues to play an important role in news aggregation and dissemination.

"Fang Yi, I heard that Xiangbei is going to be released from prison?" Zhang Zhiyao and Luo Fangyi sat next to each other, taking advantage of the rest to ask.

"Perhaps, I don't know the specifics. Luo Fangyi grimaced. took the master's affairs as a talking point, and this kind of behavior itself made her very disgusted, and through the topic thrown by Zhang Zhiyao, Luo Fangyi vented it intentionally or unintentionally.

"How is it possible? You are a master and apprentice, you don't know his news?" Zhang Zhiyao said. He is the director of the political and cultural group, and Luo Fangyi is his subordinate, but he recalls the former master-apprentice relationship between the two, and he has ulterior motives when he hears it.

"Director Zhang, since you know that we are masters and apprentices, you shouldn't ask this question, do you know what this is called? This is called self-deprecation and boring!" Luo Fangyi replied mercilessly.

Zhang Zhiyao lowered his head stupidly. He knew that his score was getting lower and lower in front of this woman he liked. It seems that there is no hope of chasing this woman down.

In fact, Luo Fangyi already knew the news of Xiang Bei's release from prison, after all, she has a special identity - a member of the task force. A lot of confidential information is not a secret in the task force.

Luo Fangyi knew that after completing the "Operation with the Wind", an important task for Chen Jizhou was to promote the progress of the Xiangbei case. Although the resumption of the judicial process will be a long and complicated process, it has seen the light of day.

Both Luo Fangyi and Chen Jizhou understand that the emergence of this dawn does not mean how clever the task force is to reverse the tragedy, nor does it mean how rubbish the lawyer who represented the north before is. The key to all of this is that when the environment changes, things go naturally.

This society has been this law since ancient times, and it cannot be changed by human beings. This is perhaps the greatest sorrow.

Of course, Luo Fangyi has another identity: Luo Yuchen's sister. With this police brother here, a lot of news sounds much easier.

The most dramatic thing is that the investigation of this case is back in Luo Yuchen's hands.

It's really fate, I don't know what I did in my last life, and I have such a fate with Xiangbei. Luo Yuchen often sighed.

For this case, Luo Yuchen investigated very hard. Because he knew that the case had been reversed, which meant that the previous investigation may have gone into a misunderstanding. To put it more clearly, his colleague made a mistake and sent an innocent person to prison.

Besides, every time he thought of Chen Chong's villain's appearance, Luo Yuchen was angry and worked harder to investigate. Of course, this is not a personal vendetta against him, if Chen Chong really created an unjust, false and wrongful case, he will inevitably be punished as he deserves. This is the best compensation for the victims.

Let's talk about Qu Changguo. When Xiahou Mingqi announced the establishment of a task force and served as the leader of the team, he suddenly realized that his guess was correct, and these people were really making small moves. Later, when Chen Jizhou announced the punishment result, he was even more angry.

It's really a good show. You set up the stage to sing for me, you pretended to be white and I was red-faced, and you didn't even give the subject of the investigation a chance to breathe -- as soon as the task force was established, it didn't take long for the investigation results and the list of punishments to be announced.

It's all under the control of the two!

Thinking of the two deputy editors-in-chief and a bunch of reporters in his department who had been punished, Qu Changguo was even more angry! Although he stayed out of the matter, he did not find any problems. But they were their own subordinates, and as a result, they didn't discuss this matter with them from beginning to end, which just didn't take them seriously at all.

Who is he angry about? It is not Chen Jizhou who is most angry. Chen Jizhou is a good old man, and he has never done anything vigorous in his life, which is to take advantage of the new president's momentum to make achievements for himself. This old fox!

What upset him the most was Xiahou Mingqi. An outsider, when he arrived at the newspaper office, did not say goodbye to the pier, but did not take long to start a campaign to eliminate dissidents, and never even said hello to himself. Xiahou Mingqi, you are too arrogant and arrogant. Don't think that if you're "airborne", I can't do anything to you? I have a chance to let you see my backstage, and I will scare you to death!

If you are angry, you will be angry, Qu Changguo knows in his heart that he must remain reasonable. This is the time when people are tested the most. If he relied on himself as an old man from the Beijiang Evening News and went to the opposite side of Xiahou Mingqi and Chen Jizhou in a fit of anger, then he would really be self-inflicted.

In China's workplace, how many people tear up with their colleagues or even their bosses because they are arrogant or misjudge the situation, and finally end up losing both.

Man, the more brilliant and the lowest he is, the more he must remain sensible.

Therefore, Qu Changguo quickly understood what to do next: he must show his position and attitude, and resolutely support the newspaper's punishment decision.

Soon, at the weekly editorial meeting, Qu Changguo expressed his views in front of Xiahou Mingqi, and promised that although these problems were caused by his predecessor Yu Chongming, he must take this as a warning and strengthen the management of the reporter team to avoid similar situations from happening again.

After speaking, he looked at Xiahou Mingqi, and a satisfied smile appeared on the young man's face.

Qu Changguo smiled knowingly. Xiahou Mingqi, let's see who fell into the pit first!

Of course, there is nothing Qu Changguo can do but compromise first and look for an opportunity. But he doesn't have so many worries. The next person refers to Luo Fangyi.

Qu Changguo didn't expect that this newcomer, who had just worked for two years, would choose to stand in line so quickly. And on the side of an old man who is about to retire. Luo Fangyi, are you blind? It's so embarrassing, you don't know the times! Do you think I can't do anything about you? As long as you're still under my hands, I have a way to get you, so you just wait.

……

For his new life after being released from prison, Xiangbei is obviously not fully prepared. He read so many books, not for work, and of course, not for the sake of enriching his knowledge.

When he came out of prison, everything seemed to be the same as when he first came into this world, empty-handed and uncared about - his job, his car, his house, his wife and son were gone, and the only thing left for him was the little money in his bank account. That was what Zhou Xuecen earned in order to save Xiangbei from buying a house, and after removing expenses such as lawsuits, only about 100,000 yuan remained.

One person is full, and the whole family is not hungry, but now it is light, and he feels that there is no burden in life.

Xiang Bei stayed at the hotel he had stayed at three years ago, the New Town Hotel. Since you live anywhere, let's go to a familiar place.

However, when he saw the expenses of the past few days, he began to worry again: the room fee was 290 yuan per night, which was still the price after the hotel gave him a discount, plus the expenses such as meals, and he had to pay a small 300 yuan a day. That's a lot of money for him.

Xiangbei knows that he is no longer the uncrowned king of the year, and he must be self-aware, and he can no longer pick up a pen to guide the country, let alone squander this money arbitrarily.

If you are more precise in positioning, you are a person who has nothing and has squatted in prison. Those who have been in prison should have the life that those who have been in prison should have.

That night, when I returned to the hotel to the north, I found that the door could not be opened, and it seemed that the number of days of renewal had expired.

"Hello, help me renew, I can't open the door. Xiang North came to the front desk on the first floor of the hotel, and it happened to be the lobby manager Jin Yu, "Are you on duty today?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang," the young and enthusiastic young man asked politely, "how many more days would you like to stay?"

"Uh......" hesitated north for a moment, "Three days." ”

Jin Yu quickly handled the problem of renewing his stay in Xiangbei, and handed the card to Xiangbei with both hands in a standard customer service posture.

"Mr. Xiang, you've been here for a long time. I talked to the hotel boss and I can upgrade you to a suite. ”

"What kind of suite?"

"Just having a living room and a bedroom, the room was twice the size. ”

"Thank you, don't bother you. I won't be able to stay for a few days. Xiang Bei politely declined.

For so many days, the young man never asked a word, and each time he performed his duty with the utmost courtesy.

Xiang Bei took the room card, saw that the lobby was deserted, and the young man looked bored, so Xiang Bei accosted him, "I think the hotel business is average?"

Xiang Bei sat in a swivel chair opposite the front desk, reached out and pulled a mint candy from the plate on the faux marble countertop, peeled off the clear plastic packaging, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Yes, business has been getting worse every year in the past few years. When you were staying, it should be the most glorious time of the hotel. ”

"Why is that? Poor management?"

"This is one of the reasons," Jin Yu looked like a straightforward person, and did not shy away from asking questions to the north, "You have also seen that the decoration of the hotel is very old, and the wallpaper door covers in the guest rooms are all in the style of ten years ago, which makes people feel dull." Now customers are not like before, they are not bad for money, so they are very picky. ”

"That's right, I see that some of the wallpaper sticks have fallen off, and some of the door covers have cracked. ”

"Another reason is that you see the new high-rise buildings on the southeast side of the hotel. The young man was afraid that Xiang Bei would not understand, so he pointed to the distance with his hand, and looked in the direction of his finger to the north, and although the night was dark, he could still see the sporadic lights on the building. "That's the Hedong New Area that was built. This is the CBD planned by moving three or four villages, not only the buildings are beautiful, but also the hotels, schools, hospitals, and various supporting facilities are also good. So, people went there. ”

"Hedong New District? is the original Luohe Village?"

"That's right, not only Luohe Village, but also several villages. Uh, you've heard of that too?"

"I went there three years ago, when it was a small village and it didn't look good. I didn't expect it to be like this now. Xiang Bei said with some emotion.

"It's all planned by the city, and it is said that it is to develop a new area. You don't know, the whole big area, one or twenty office buildings, shopping malls, and shops along the street are all developed by the Zhongtuo real estate, and it is said that they have earned hundreds of millions of dollars just by selling those buildings. And that's not even counting the residential buildings next to the business district. ”

"Zhongtuo Real Estate? Why does it sound so familiar...... It seems that I have heard ...... before" Xiangbei tried to search these words in his brain, but he just couldn't remember.

"Of course you are familiar with it, this is our star enterprise in Hedong City, and the advertisements on the street are all Zhongtuo's real estate. Not only Hedong, but also many cities across the country have taken a lot of land. It's so hot!"

"Oh, it looks like you're quite gossipy, you know it so well. "Joke to the north. It was the first time he had spoken to this young man in earnest.

"Hehe, my dream is to become a business elite like Ding Sen, the boss of Zhongtuo. ”

"Well, do a good job, and you'll make it. Xiangbei felt that the young man's ultimate encouragement was, "By the way, what about the villagers of Luohe Village, where have they moved?"

"Well, right next to those buildings. But now it's dark, and I can't see clearly. Those buildings are poorly built, and they are all relocation houses. The living conditions in the resettlement houses were not very good, there was no heating, and even water and electricity were not available for the first year. It only got better last year. Even so, those villagers can be regarded as earning, when they moved back, the house price set by Zhongtuo for them was three or four thousand yuan per square meter, and now it has risen to 10,000 yuan, and it is still rising. ”

While Jin Yu was talking, he took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to the front desk, "Sir, do you drink black tea or green tea?"

"Oh, thanks, I'll just drink plain water. ”

Speaking of Luohe Village, Xiangbei seems to have returned to those interview days, and remembers those faces back then. In retrospect, the village seems to reveal a mystery, even weirdness. He had never encountered so many unbelievable things: villagers being burned to death, death signatures, suicide of the village chief, disturbance by villagers, and those scattered answers...... This weirdness has even spread to himself - every time he comes to Luohe Village, he will always encounter ominous things, so that during those days, potential dangers are always around. He sometimes even wonders how much his family's misfortune has to do with this mysterious village?!

"Sir?"

Xiang Bei was a little distracted, and was called a few times by Jin Yu before coming back to his senses.

"Are you tired?"

"Well, I'm really tired. He stretched his waist to the north.
