Xiang Bei hung up the phone and returned to the house: "Xiao Luo, clean up, let's go back to the unit." ”

"Back to the unit, haven't you finished asking here?" Luo Fangyi was puzzled.

"There is an urgent matter in the unit!" Xiangbei was worried in his heart, and he couldn't hide his emotions.

"Xiang reporter, let's go after dinner, it's not bad for a while. Luo Jingchen said.

Xiang Bei glanced at the hot leftovers on the coal stove: "No, Mr. Luo, you eat slowly." I'll come back in two days when I'm not busy, I'll give you trouble. ”

At this time, the fog outside is getting thicker and the cold is even worse. The two of them walked on the road, and even had a feeling of soaring clouds. Xiang Bei subconsciously erected the neckline of his down jacket and put his hands in his pockets.

"Master, the fog is too big, how can I go back here. Luo Fangyi pulled his throat, as if he was using his voice to locate it.

"Don't worry, it's an old driver who drives. ”

The two got into the car. The driver turned on the double flash and galloped all the way.

When I returned to the unit, the whole building seemed to be surrounded by thick fog, and the cold wind was even more wanton. The Beijiang Evening News is almost empty, and only the staff on duty in the editorial and new media departments are still sticking to their posts.

The car was parked in front of the turnstile of the main building of the newspaper office.

"Xiao Luo, Mr. Yu came to me to talk about something, if you have nothing to do, you can go back first and have a good rest. ”

"Yes, Master, call me if you have anything. ”

The two said goodbye.

Xiang Bei saw that the light in Yu Chongming's office was still on, and knocked on the door to enter.

"Xiangbei, have you encountered anything in the recent interview?" Yu Chongming was so anxious that he even omitted to greet politely, after all, this business trip and interview were also very hard! This is really a bit abnormal!

Xiang Bei thought about all the recent interviews, the Luohe Village arson case, the orphan case, and the Yushan economic dispute case...... Every question was normal, and he asked, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

Yu Chongming changed the topic instead: "Xiangbei, I remember that you had two drafts last year that were paid attention to by the main leaders of the city. One is billboard chaos, and the other is ...... I can't remember. It is precisely because of these two drafts that the relevant departments review and improve the work. It had quite an impact at the time. ”

"Another draft is the Civil Air Defense Mall. ”

"Yes, about the civil air defense mall. These two articles make you a gold medal reporter of the newspaper. To the north, you are very good at conducting research and writing manuscripts. However, there are other issues that need to be paid attention to. ”

"What about other questions, for example?" asked Xiangbei.

"For example, a banquet...... Gift ......" Yu Chongming deliberately used some keywords to guide him.

Xiang Bei carefully recalled, why did Yu Chongming ask him this?

"Let me tell you straight, someone reported you, saying that you accepted a banquet from the interview unit during the interview and asked for gifts!" Yu Chongming was a little impatient.

"What, report me!" Xiang Bei was shocked.

Among the reporters, he has heard of some cases where he was reported for receiving money or gifts or eating, and was eventually fired. Because of this, he has been cautious all these years of work, and he does not dare to take half a step beyond the thunder pool. Unexpectedly, I still stepped on thunder today! In addition to being shocked, Xiang Bei also tried to recall his recent experience, and he didn't feel that something was wrong, "Mr. Yu, can you tell me, did this person say that he violated discipline in an interview?"

"Luohe Village ...... this time," Yu Chongming said.

Interview with Luohe Village...... Luo Fangyi and I have always been responsible for eating and living...... Is it ......?"

Xiang Bei suddenly remembered the dinner party. At that time, he also felt that the meal was a little too extravagant, sea cucumber and abalone were on the table, and the wine was also good wine - two or three hundred yuan a bottle of cellar aging, and he remembered that everyone drank more than two bottles that day. Moreover, he received a gift - a set of porcelain crafts.

Oops, I forgot about it! Xiangbei was shocked and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although it had been too long, and Xiangbei was already unconscious from drinking at that time, he still recalled the ins and outs of the whole thing:

After the drinking party, Xiang went north into the room, and when he saw the beautiful box, he didn't pay attention to it, he thought that every reporter who accepted the banquet had a copy, and it didn't look like a valuable thing.

Alas!

"Mr. Yu, during the interview in Luohe Village, did accept a banquet, and reporters from several media were present at that time. And...... The banquet party also said hello to the newspaper, so I participated in the ......"

"Have you said hello??" asked Yu Chongming.

"This ......" hesitated slightly to the north, and if it was reported by name at this time, it seemed a little unauthentic," the leader on duty at that time. ”

Under normal circumstances, even if it is a problem report, a banquet like this one is very safe. For this, he Yu Chongming couldn't understand it better. In this way, Xiangbei should have been tricked. "How do you explain the matter of asking for gifts?"

"It's a set of porcelain crafts, I didn't ask for it, it was given by the banquet party, I drank too much at the time, and I didn't care. I am indeed responsible for this, and I am willing to review it. Now this set of crafts is still in my car, and I haven't taken it down. I handed over the gift to the newspaper. Xiang Bei said, going to the underground garage to pick up something.

When he turned around, he suddenly thought that there was not one set of handicrafts in the car, but two sets. That set is Luo Fangyi's! This time it's troublesome, and this girl is also involved.

What Xiang Bei said is basically consistent with the problems reflected in the report email. From this point, it can be judged that this anonymous report is not a rumor and a false accusation, and the other party has real evidence. More importantly, a month ago, the group just issued a document requiring severe punishment for such problems, and found that they would be severely punished together!

Xiang Bei hit the muzzle of the gun this time.

Yu Chongming stopped him: "Don't worry, it's not bad to hand it in for a while." Besides, it's useless to hand it over to me, I don't have the right to accept it here. ”

It seems that this matter is even more serious than I imagined.

"Xiangbei, you are also an old reporter, why are you so careless when reporting this kind of thing! Now what I'm worried about is not that you will be fine if you hand over the gifts, the newspaper's discipline inspection team already knows about it and is investigating!"

Hearing Yu Chongming's words, Xiangbei realized that this matter could no longer be hidden. If this matter does not spread, but stays at the level of the editor-in-chief's office, everything will be easy. However, if the newspaper's discipline inspection team intervenes, it will be a big trouble.

He bowed his head like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. If you change to someone else, you may be cheeky and stubborn with the leader, and then seriously review and express your position, maybe you can get away with it. However, Xiangbei always gives himself a kind of moral restraint - fame is too important!

Yu Chongming saw the change in Xiang Bei's mood, and then said: "Don't be too stressed, this matter has not yet been decided, and it may not be as serious as imagined." In this way, you can go to work normally tomorrow and see what the discipline inspection team has to say. ”

"Got it, Mr. Yu. Xiang Bei walked out of Yu Chongming's office, and his mood was extremely low. Instead of leaving the building, he returned to his desk. The entire hall was empty, except for a light above his head, as if it had become the only focal point in the space.

Maybe it's because I take this matter too seriously, and I don't even have the strength to walk to the north. He even felt breathless. No, before going home, you must adjust your emotions, sit down to the north, take a few deep breaths, and take another sip of hot water.

After more than ten minutes, he felt that his heartbeat seemed to slow down a lot, so he took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. In the dim and empty hall, the red flame of the cigarette butt and the large spread of gray smoke stood out. It's like the fantastic neon lights hidden behind the fog outside the glass windows.

The wind was still cold, and the fog had not cleared at all. This kind of weather is shrouded in the heart of the north, and no matter what, you can't break free.

Xiangbei leaned his head back in his chair, closed his eyes, and thought about what had been mentioned in the report. He didn't even have the heart to think about who reported it, all he thought about was a mistake, and this mistake was enough to knock him down!

Again, he takes his reputation too seriously!

Before I knew it, the clock hand on the wall was pointing to 9 o'clock, the office building was pitch black, and even the staff on duty were looking for a place to be lazy. Xiangbei stood up and shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up and cheer himself up. He saw a bag of coffee on the table, which was given by Luo Fangyi, with a complete set: coffee powder, coffee mate, sugar cubes.

Grab a cup of coffee and maybe sober up. Pour the ground coffee into the cup to the north and set aside the sugar cubes. The coffee is so bitter, but why don't you feel bitter at all?

Xiangbei suddenly thought that his wife and children were still waiting at home, and he had to go back quickly. Over the years of work, he has always been very clear about his role positioning - to be a qualified employee when he goes to work, and to be a good husband and father after work. The two do not interfere with each other.

When I got home, my wife and children didn't sleep. Zhou Xuecen leaned on the sofa and watched TV, Nuo Yi was sitting on the children's mat and playing by himself, with all kinds of toys in front of him.

"Nuoyi, why don't you sleep so late, are you disobedient?" Xiangbei forced a smile, changed clothes, washed up, and interacted with Nuoyi.

"I'm waiting for my dad to come home. ”

In the time between the two of them, Zhou Xuecen had already heated the meal and placed it on the dining table: a bowl of beef noodles with a fried egg and a few rape leaves on top, plus a plate of side dishes and a plate of fried potato chips.

"Husband, let's eat. ”

These delicacies, which usually whet the appetite and gobble up to the north, seem to have no appetite at all.

Zhou Xuecen seemed to see Xiang Bei's expression: "What's wrong?

"How can there be, every time I go on a business trip, the biggest look forward is this bowl of noodles. Pretending to be hungry, "Thank you, wife, it's so fragrant!"

Smelling the aroma of beef noodles, Xiang Bei's empty stomach was also stimulated. He was really hungry, he ate it in a big gulp, and "swept away" the essence of the soup with three times and five divided by two.

"By the way, husband, Nuoyi still has a recurrent fever, because of this, the vaccine has been delayed for a month or two. I think I'll have to take him to the hospital for a proper check-up. Zhou Xuecen said.

"I'm also too busy during this time, and a lot of things are rushing together. In this way, tomorrow I will take a look at the situation, ask the leader for a few days off, and take Nuoyi to the provincial hospital for a check-up. Xiang Bei pondered, to see what kind of handling advice the newspaper would give tomorrow, if it was really suspended for inspection, he could accompany his wife and children at home.
