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

"Go back to work? Haven't you finished asking this yet?" Luo Fangyi was puzzled.

"There is an urgent matter in the unit!" Xiangbei was nervous and could no longer care about hiding his emotions.

"To the reporter, let's leave after dinner, it's not bad for this time," said Luo Jingchen.

Xiangbei glanced at the leftovers on the coal stove: "No, Teacher Luo, eat slowly. I'll come over again if I'm not busy in two days, and I'll cause you trouble."

At this time, the outdoor fog became thicker and colder. When the two of them were walking on the road, they even felt like they were flying in the clouds. Xiangbei subconsciously raised the collar of the down jacket and put both hands into their pockets.

"Master, the fog is too strong, how can you go back?" Luo Fangyi raised his voice, as if he was using his voice to locate it.

"Don't worry, the driver is an old driver."

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

When I returned to my office, the entire building seemed to be surrounded by thick fog, and the cold wind was even more arbitrary and cold. Beijiang Evening News was almost empty, and only the duty staff from the editorial and editorial departments were still standing at their posts.

The car parked in front of the revolving door of the main building of the newspaper.

"Little Luo, Mr. Yu talks to me about something. If there is nothing to do, go back first and have a good rest."

"Okay, Master, call me if you have any questions."

The two said goodbye.

Xiangbei saw that the lights in Yu Chongming's office were still on, so he knocked on the door and went in.

"Xiangbei, have you ever encountered anything in the recent interview?" Yu Chongming was anxious and even saved the polite greetings. After all, the interview was very hard on a business trip! This is really a bit abnormal!

Xiangbei thought about all the recent interviews. Every issue of the Yushan economic dispute case in Luohe Village was normal. He asked in confusion: "What aspect are you talking about?"

Yu Chongming changed the topic instead: "Xiangbei, I remember that you had two manuscripts that were paid attention to by the main leaders of the city last year. One was the chaos in the billboards, and the other was that I couldn't remember them anymore. It was precisely because of these two manuscripts that relevant departments reviewed and improved their work. It had a considerable impact at that time."

"The other manuscript is the Civil Defense Mall."

"Yes, about the Civil Defense Mall. These two articles make you a gold medal reporter for the newspaper. Xiangbei, you are very good at doing research and writing articles. However, other issues need to be paid attention to."

"Other questions? For example?" Xiangbei asked.

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

Xiangbei recalled carefully why Yu Chongming asked him that? Is there something wrong with him?

"Let me tell you directly. Someone reported you and said that you were invited by the interview unit during the interview and asked for gifts!" Yu Chongming was a little impatient.

"What? Report me!" Xiangbei was shocked.

Among the reporters, he was reported by someone to be furious because he received money, gifts or meals. He had heard of some such situations. Because of this, he has been cautious over the years of work and did not dare to step over the line. Unexpectedly, he still stepped on the line today! In addition to being shocked, Xiangbei also tried hard to recall his recent experience, but he did not feel that something was wrong. "Mr. Yu, can you tell me whether this person said that this person violated the discipline in an interview?"

"Luohe Village this time" Yu Chongming said.

"Luo Fangyi and I have always been responsible for food and accommodation in Luohe Village, are we?"

Xiangbei suddenly remembered the dinner. At that time, he also felt that the meal was a bit too luxurious. Sea cucumbers and abalone were on the table, and the wine was also good wine - a cellar aged wine for two or three hundred yuan per bottle. He remembered that everyone drank more than two bottles that day. Moreover, he also received a gift - a set of porcelain crafts.

Oh no, I actually forgot about this! Xiangbei was shocked and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Although it took too long and Xiangbei was already drunk at that time, he still recalled the whole story:

After the banquet, he walked north into the room and saw the exquisite packaging box, which he didn't take. He thought that every reporter who received the banquet had one, and it didn't look like a valuable thing.

Alas! It's so careless!

"Mr. Yu, during the interview in Luohe Village, he did receive a banquet. At that time, reporters from several media were there. And the party also greeted the newspaper, so I attended."

"Have you said hello? Who are you with?" Yu Chongming asked.

"This" hesitated slightly to the north. If you report it by name at this time, it seems a bit unauthentic, "The leader on duty at that time."

Generally speaking, even if it is a problem report, such banquets are very safe. Yu Chongming understood this very well. In this way, Xiangbei should have been trapped. "How to explain the matter of asking for gifts?"

"It's a set of porcelain crafts. I didn't ask for it, but it was given by the banquet party. I drank too much at that time and didn't care. I really have the responsibility to review this. Now this set of crafts is still in my car and has not been taken down. I handed the gift to the newspaper." Xiangbei said, and was about to go to the underground garage to pick up things.

As he turned around, he suddenly realized that there was not a set of handicrafts in the car, but two sets. That set was from Luo Fangyi! Now it was troublesome, and this girl was also involved.

Xiangbei's words are basically consistent with the problems reflected in the reporting email. From this point of view, it can be judged that this anonymous report is not a rumor and 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. It was found that they were strictly punished!

Xiangbei hit the muzzle this time.

Yu Chongming stopped him: "Don't worry, it's not a problem to hand it over now. Besides, it's useless to hand it over to me, and I have no right to accept it."

No right to accept it? 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 such things? What I am worried about now is not that you will be fine if you hand in the gift. The newspaper discipline inspection team already knows it and is investigating!"

After hearing Yu Chongming's words, Xiangbei realized that this matter could no longer be concealed. If the matter did not spread but stayed at the editor-in-chief's level, everything would be easy. However, if the newspaper's discipline inspection team intervened, it would be a big trouble.

He was like a primary school student who made a mistake and stood there with his head down, feeling very uncomfortable. If it were someone else, he might be shameless and stubborn with his leader, and then carefully review and express his opinion, and he might be able to get away with it. However, Xiangbei always gives himself a moral constraint - reputation is too important!

Yu Chongming saw Xiangbei's emotional changes and said, "Don't be too stressed. This matter has not been concluded yet, and it may not be as serious as imagined. So, you can go to work normally tomorrow, and see what the disciplinary inspection team thinks."

"I understand, Mr. Yu." Xiangbei walked out of Yu Chongming's office and felt extremely depressed. He did not leave the office building, but returned to his work station. The entire hall was empty, only a beam of light above his head was on, as if it had become the only focus in this space.

Maybe he valued this matter too much, Xiangbei didn't even have the strength to walk. He even felt difficulty breathing. No, before going home, he must adjust his emotions, sit down Xiangbei, take a few deep breaths, and take another sip of hot water.

After more than ten minutes, he felt his heartbeat slowing down a lot, so he took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. In the dim and empty hall, the red light of the cigarette butts and the large spreading gray smoke were particularly eye-catching. It looked like the dreamy neon lights hidden behind the thick fog outside the glass window.

The wind is still bitter and the fog has not dissipated at all. Such weather is shrouded in Xiangbei's heart and cannot be free from it no matter what.

What was going on? Xiangbei leaned his head on the chair, closed his eyes, and recalled what was mentioned in the report letter. He had no intention of thinking about who reported it. All he thought about was a mistake, and this mistake was enough to knock him down!

As for the same thing, he valued reputation too much!

Unconsciously, the clock hand on the wall was already pointing at 9 o'clock, and the office building was pitch black, and even the on-duty staff found a place to slacket off. Xiangbei stood up, shook his head vigorously, trying to wake up and cheer himself up. He saw a bag of coffee on the table, which was given by Luo Fangyi, and there was a complete set: coffee powder coffee companion candy cube.

Have a cup of coffee, maybe you can be more awake. Pour the coffee powder into the cup and put the sugar cube aside. The coffee is so bitter, but why can't you feel the bitter taste at all?

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

When he got home, his wife and children were not sleeping. Zhou Xuecen leaned on the sofa and watched TV. Nuoyi was sitting on the children's mat and playing on his own, with all kinds of toys in front of him.

"Nuoyi, why haven't you slept so late? Are you disobedient?" Xiang Beiqiang smiled, changed his clothes and washed up, and interacted with Nuoyi.

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

While the two were having fun, Zhou Xuecen had already heated up the meal and placed it on the table: a bowl of beef noodles, with a fried egg and a few rapeseed leaves on top, plus a plate of side dishes and a plate of fried potato slices.

"Honey, let's have a meal."

These delicacies that usually make Xiangbei eat a lot of appetite, but at this time they don’t seem to have any appetite.

Zhou Xuecen seemed to see Xiangbei's expression: "What's wrong? Don't have an appetite?"

"No, every time I go on a business trip, my biggest expectation is this bowl of noodles." I pretended to be hungry, "Thank you, my wife, it smells so good!"

When he smelled the aroma of beef noodles, his stomach was also stimulated by the empty stomach. He was so hungry that he ate it in big mouthfuls, and he "swept" all the noodles with soup in a few seconds.

"By the way, my husband, Nuoyi still had a fever repeatedly, because this vaccine has been delayed for a month or two. I think I still have to take him to the hospital for a good check-up," said Zhou Xuecen.

"I've been too busy these days and have been busy with many things. In this way, I'll check the situation tomorrow, ask my leader for a few days off, and take Nuo to the provincial hospital for a check-up." Xiangbei thought about it and saw what the newspaper would give tomorrow. If it's really suspended for inspection, I can spend time with my wife and children at home.
Chapter completed!
