Passing these boring hours to the north, I was a little dazed and anxious in my heart. He felt that if he wanted to continue his life, he must first find the direction of his life.

On this day, Xiang Bei received a strange call.

"Master, I'm Luo Fangyi. A familiar voice came from the microphone.

"Xiao Luo, how do you know my phone number?"

"Hehe, isn't it easy for me to get your contact information?"

Xiangbei suddenly realized that her brother Luo Yuchen must have found it for him. If the other party wants to find out, it's easy to find out where he lives.

"Master, I have something to tell you, and the newspaper leader wants to talk to you about it. ”

"Looking for me, what's the matter? Isn't it all over?" Xiang Bei's relaxed nervous conditioning tensed, what are you talking about? There is still a chance to return to the Beijiang Evening News?

If they really have remorse, they should be sincere, what does it mean to find a little girl who has just worked for less than two years to contact them? How can they be grandly connected with themselves in the name of the newspaper?

"Well, I don't know exactly what it is, it seems to be about compensation......"

Compensation? I really let myself guess correctly, Xiang Bei thought to himself, in this way, the other party first asked Luo Fangyi to contact him in a private name to see his reaction, and then make the next step.

Thinking of this, Xiangbei felt ridiculous, it seemed that no matter what time it was, their sincerity was limited.

"I heard that the newspaper has a new leader?" asked Xiangbei.

"That's right, in addition to the new president, several main leaders have changed, and a group of newcomers have also come to the editor-in-chief's office. Master, the newspaper office is a new atmosphere now, and I think you should be able to return to the newspaper office if you try to fight for it. ”

Luo Fangyi is still so naïve, she thinks that time has changed, people have changed, everything can be done again, if only it were so simple.

Xiang Bei knew that even if the newspaper intended to correct his name, it would probably be difficult to accept such a person who would go down in the history of the newspaper.

"Xiao Luo, thank you for remembering me. Bac Giang Evening News will always be Bac Giang Evening News, but I am not what I used to be. I can only look forward, and I can't go back. They say they want to talk about it, but who's going to talk about it? How?"

Luo Fangyi doesn't know about these situations, to put it bluntly, she is just a messenger, and she will do what the leader says.

"I really don't know, hehe, you wait, I'll ask, I'll get back to you later. ”

Luo Fangyi hurriedly hung up the phone and called Chen Jizhou again.

Chen Jizhou has been waiting for Luo Fangyi's reply, and when he heard her news, he felt more steady.

"You tell Xiangbei, I'll talk to him first, and as for the time and place, it's up to him to choose. ”

After receiving the order, Luo Fangyi relayed another 1510 to the north. She suddenly felt funny, why did she let herself be a microphone? And wasted phone bills, can't the two of them just contact each other? The leader's mind really can't be guessed!

"I don't have anywhere to go," Xiang Bei admits frankly, he is already half a stranger in the city, is it difficult to let the other party come to his partition room?" ”

"Okay, what about the time?"

"Anytime?" asked Xiangbei.

"That's what Chen Jizhou said, you can decide the time. ”

"Then tomorrow, I'm fine anyway. ”

Luo Fangyi checked the specific time and place with Xiangbei, and finally advised, "Don't worry, over the years, your case has been promoted by Chen Jizhou, I think others are very good, there should be no surprises." When you come, be sure to tell me that I will treat you to a meal. I haven't picked you up since you came out. ”

"Just catch the wind. However, Xiao Luo, you still don't want to do such things in the future. Journalists just do their own thing, that's what I've learned. ”

Luo Fangyi was puzzled: "Master, what are you talking about?"

"I'm afraid you'll be taken advantage of by some people. ”

Luo Fangyi suddenly realized: "Master, don't worry, I know it in my heart." It's not because it's about you, so I'll take the initiative to take it. By the way, do you still use your previous WeChat?"

"It's long gone. ”

"This phone number is a WeChat ID?"

"That's right. ”

"Then I'll add you to WeChat to contact Ha. ”

This is the first person included in Xiangbei's WeChat address book.

A glance at 10,000 years - the same name as the intern three years ago.

Early the next morning, Xiang Bei came to the Beijiang Evening News office at the appointed time. It was the first time he had been here in three years, and nothing had changed in a familiar place, a familiar environment.

Walking into the building to the north, he suddenly felt a little flustered, and he couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, nervousness, inferiority, resentment? Maybe this is called mixed tastes.

After entering the hall, Xiang Bei deliberately lowered his head, he was afraid of running into acquaintances, and he didn't know whether to greet them or not, and in what way. However, he seems to be a little worried, the media is a very fast metabolism industry, and all he saw along the way were some energetic young people, and he did not meet his former colleagues. Of course, even if they do, others may pretend not to know each other.

Walking on the road, I received a message to the north, no need to guess, it must be Luo Fangyi.

"Master, where have you been?"

Xiang North replied: "Just arrived in the hall on the first floor." ”

"You wait for me for a while, I'll pick you up. ”

After a while, Luo Fangyi came to the hall.

"Master, I told Chen Jizhou, and he said to talk in his office. I'll take you there. ”

Luo Fangyi led the way in front, and followed north in the rear. He looked at this familiar figure, even if it was just a back, it was not difficult to see the free and lively side of this girl.

It's really good, the intern back then, and now he is in charge of himself.

Perhaps guessing Xiangbei's concerns, Chen Jizhou did not make an appointment to meet in the reception room of the newspaper, but chose his office.

Luo Fangyi knocked on the door and entered, heading north to wait outside.

"Leader, it's here. ”

"Oh, please!"

"Hello. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted him with a straight standing posture to the north, which was a new habit he had formed in the past three years.

"Hello, to the north. You may be seated. Chen Jizhou had already prepared the tea and placed it on the opposite side of the desk.

He looked north into the room and sat down on the couch by the door. In such a limited space, it always feels awkward for the two to be so far apart. Seeing this, Chen Jizhou got up from his seat and sat on the sofa.

The two sat down and did not immediately begin the conversation. Chen Jizhou first observed to the north for a moment. "You haven't changed much from three years ago, you've lost a little weight, but you feel more fit than before. ”

"Change can't just look at appearances. "A faint word to the north.

Chen Jizhou naturally understood the meaning of Xiangbei, and sighed, "Yes, you have suffered all these years. Calling you here this time is not only my meaning, but also the meaning of the newspaper and the group. There is only one purpose, to compensate for the losses caused to you over the years. ”

"Compensation, how to compensate?" Xiangbei's tone was calm, but there was a bit of complaint between the peace.

While speaking, Chen Jizhou found that Xiangbei was always cautious, not only sitting upright, but also always looking back at the office door from time to time, as if he was worried that someone would suddenly break in.

"Don't worry, I've already told the people outside that no one will come in the morning. ”

Xiang Bei nodded. Chen Jizhou didn't understand, and kept staring at the door, which was a habit he developed in prison, in order to wait and see if the discipline came. There is a rule in the prison that when discipline comes, you must stand up and greet it immediately.

Xiang Bei is a good learner, not only learns quickly, but also remembers well. Once a habit is formed, it is often unforgettable.

"The newspaper has drawn up two plans, one is to reinstate your job, to hire you again, you can choose to be a reporter or other positions, of course, there are many problems to solve, such as your seniority, your job title and so on. There is also a plan that if you don't want to come back, the newspaper can compensate you financially for three years of basic salary. ”

Xiangbei was silent, he was not engaged in an ideological struggle, it was impossible to come back, he knew very well what kind of eyes those people would look at him, and he would not work hard for this unit that had brought him so much damage.

"I'm not going back, every part of this place is already incompatible with me. ”

The reaction to the north was expected by Chen Jizhou, and this was also the result that the group and the newspaper wanted to see the most. Everyone understands that if you hurt a person and then bring him to you, such a person is always a hidden danger.

"Let's talk about financial compensation. I asked the finance department to calculate the total salary compensation for three years according to the relevant regulations, which is 198,000 yuan. I don't know if you can ...... this plan."

Before Chen Jizhou finished speaking, the phone suddenly rang. "Wait a minute. ”

Chen Jizhou got up and picked up the landline: "President...... Okay, I'll go over right away. ”

"I'm sorry, Xiangbei, the leader has something urgent to find me, you wait for me for a while. I'll be right back when I'm done. ”

Chen Jizhou felt that it was a little inappropriate to let this person stay alone in his office, but he couldn't arrange him elsewhere. He thought for a moment, put the classified materials on his desk into a drawer, hurried out of the office, and closed the door.

Xiangbei has been sitting on the sofa in a straight posture. 5 minutes, 10 minutes...... Little by little, time passed. It's been half an hour, and Chen Jizhou hasn't come back yet.

Xiang Bei reluctantly stood up and paced back and forth in the office. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a document on Chen Jizhou's desk, which was related to his case.

Staring north, he struggled to see the document. He looked at the office door, thought for a moment, quickly picked up the papers, and hurriedly flipped through them. It was all information he hadn't seen before, including how some people at the newspaper had committed perjury, including the emails that reported him.

Email?!Xiang Bei seems to remember something. He silently read the contents of the email, page by page. Those email messages are not copied and pasted text, but screenshots and prints from mailboxes in order to present the most authentic and objective evidence.

Xiang Bei carefully read the sender's message, and listened cautiously to the movement outside the office, for fear that someone would suddenly open the door and come in. But the printed screenshots are too small, and some of the content is not easy to identify.

At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and the sound was getting closer and closer. He hurriedly put down the material in his hand, put it back in place, and sat down on the couch again.

The door opened, and it was Chen Jizhou.

Chen Jizhou closed the door and glanced north. Xiang Bei is still sitting in the same position as before he left.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. The leader came to me to talk about an important matter. Chen Jizhou said, and refilled the tea for Xiangbei.

"It doesn't matter. I'll think about the compensation plan again, and I'll get back to you when I'm ready. "Get up to the north.

"Why? Can't you settle down today?"

"Yes. As to whether this compensation is reasonable, I need to know more about the relevant legal knowledge. ”

"Alright then, I'll wait for your news. Feel free to let me know when you're ready. ”

"Okay," Xiangbei opened the office door, suddenly remembering something, "about my case...... Thank you so much, I know you put a lot of effort into it. ”

"That's my job. I promised you that if you were wronged, I would get justice for you. I know you have been greatly wronged, and this is a tragedy that could have been avoided. There were many misfortunes, but at least those people got what they deserved. ”

"What should happen? You mean Zhao Qingdong and Yu Chongming? Xiang Bei sneered, "One retires, retains all the benefits, and the other continues to work in the group." You're telling me what they deserve? They're all people who deserve to be cut by a thousand cuts!"

Xiang Bei's vicious tone really startled Chen Jizhou, it was the first time he saw Xiang Bei showing this vicious appearance, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It's all gone. At least, they won't be at ease in their lives. ”

"People like them would think of this? You really think highly of them! But I still want to thank you, because you also took a lot of risks in investigating my case. ”

Chen Jizhou smiled: "People of my age have long been pampered, and many things that I cared about when I was young have long been looked down on now, and now I only ask for one thing, don't leave regrets for yourself before retirement." ”

Xiangbei didn't say anything more, turned to leave, but bumped into a person head-on. It's Qu Changguo.

Compared with three years ago, Qu Changguo looks more mature in his outfit, with a white shirt, dark jacket and beige slacks, a leader's standard outfit. It was just that he looked like he had just returned from outside, and there was a dark trail of rain on his clothes, some droplets of water in his hair, and mud on his shoes.

"To the north?" Qu Changguo looked surprised, "When did you come out?"

"It's been a few days......" Seeing Qu Changguo, Xiangbei was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

"That's great, how are you now? Look, I'm too busy with work to talk to you, so let's make an appointment and get together when we're done." ”

"Okay, you get busy first. Xiang Bei politely replied to Qu Changguo and left the newspaper office.

Walking out of the door of the newspaper office, Xiangbei remembered what Luo Fangyi had told him and asked him to have dinner together. However, he really didn't feel this mood, so he sent a message to Luo Fangyi: "I'm done talking to Chen Jizhou, but I'm in a bit of a hurry now, let's make an appointment next time." ”
