It's my turn to speak

"I don't know, I've never heard of this before. It's not just me, the members of the Party committee of newspaper also didn't know, even Ma Shuji only found out this morning!" Liu Fei replied.

Division Chief Qin recorded things down at the side.

"Then — — Director Jiang, I will record it as it was," Division Chief Qin shook his head and wrote it down in the book.

"Remember this, Division Chief Qin," I said. "I will take responsibility for my own actions. I am naturally responsible for what I have done."

"Minister Liu, look, do you still want to find Chen Jing for verification?" The Division Chief Qin asked Liu Yue.

Liu Yue did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at me hesitantly.

Without waiting for Liu Yue to speak, I hurriedly took it over, "Minister Liu, Division Chief Qin, there is no need for this, I have already explained this matter clearly, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Jing, she was framed and became my scapegoat. Since I have already explained what happened, is there a need to look for Chen Jing? This has nothing to do with her. "

"Director Liu, what do you think?" Liu Yue looked at Liu Fei.

"I'm here to cooperate with Minister Liu's investigation. I'm listening to Minister Liu." Liu Fei said.

Liu Yue pondered for a moment, then said: "Alright, how about this, Director Jiang, you write down the details of this matter, including the whereabouts and uses of the interview machine, the reason why you accept the interview machine, the way you accept the interview machine, whether it is for others to take the initiative or not, write it down and hand it over to me in the afternoon."

Liu Yue's words had a hidden meaning, I could hear it clearly.

"No need, I'll write it right away. Give me 10 minutes, I'll write it out right away." "No," I said.

Liu Yue glanced at me, then glanced at Division Chief Qin and Liu Fei. "Then … "Fine."

Thus, Division Chief Qin found a pen and paper, and I started writing on the spot.

When I write this, I obviously will not write it according to what happened between Chen Jing and I that day. I will write it according to what I have said just now.

After I finished writing, I handed over the explanation to Liu Yue: "Minister Liu, the entire process is here, please review."

Liu Yue took it over and carefully examined it. She bit her lips, then stood up: "Wait a moment in my office for me, Division Chief Qin and I will go find Zhang Buzhang!"

After that, Liu Yue and Division Chief Qin left the room and took the information that I had written down.

Liu Fei turned his head to look at me, his face filled with regret. What was going on? How did you do it? "

"Yes!" I nodded, then smiled at Liu Fei: "I relied on myself!"

Liu Fei patted my shoulder, and said softly: "You've hit the nail on the head this time, Zhang Buzhang wanted to take the lead, but coincidentally, you've met with such a situation. This kind of thing, our newspaper used to have many good news, but this time, it's actually …. Sigh … I'm afraid that even if Minister Liu wanted to help you, he still wouldn't be able to do anything … "This time, the punishment will not be light …"

"There's no other way. Since what's happened has already happened, let's face it! "Just do the business!" I said: "It's just that this letter was written to expose the culprit, who mistook the person responsible, and almost wronged Chen Jing!"

"Oh …" "Mhmm …" Liu Fei nodded his head, his eyeballs quickly wandered around for a bit, and then he said no more.

After about an hour, Liu Yue and the Division Chief Qin returned. Liu Yue's expression was somewhat pale and her eyes were heavy.

Liu Yue returned to her office and sat down at her desk, she was silent for a moment: "Alright, you guys can go back now, Zhang Buzhang will announce this matter in the City's Propaganda System, and issue a severe criticism of Jianghai Daily News … "At the same time, the newspaper is required to deal with those responsible seriously and report the results to the Ministry …"

I smiled and nodded towards Liu Yue and Division Chief Qin before standing up, "Leaders, we will be leaving now."

Before I left, I took another look at Liu Yue, who was looking at me with a dejected gaze, with eyes filled with lament and helplessness.

I quickly turned around and left, afraid that Liu Fei would also look back like me.

On the way back, Liu Fei patted my shoulder in concern and comforted me. Brother, be more open-minded. Since it's already like this, you should make a good confession and try to be lenient with your actions! "

I looked at Liu Fei gratefully. "Thank you for your concern, brother!"

When I said that, an idea popped up in my mind. Was it because Liu Fei ordered me to do this, or was it because Mei Ling ordered me to do this?

However, this is just a guess, I don't have any evidence.

Back at the office, I was working.

Chen Jing was not here today. She had a cold yesterday and was resting at home today.

As I was busy, I received a call from Liu Yue: "If it's convenient, return to my office and call. — — Ms. Liu."

I closed the door of my office, touched my phone and called Liu Yue: "It's me."

"You —" Liu Yue's voice was filled with helplessness and seriousness. I told you about it last night.

"This matter has been going on for a long time, almost half a month, the reporters in the Department of Public Information do not even have interview machine s, the newspapers do not even give them anything, the leaders have the money to eat, drink and play with the cars, but they do not have the money to buy the interview machine s. What can I do? I have to work, right? This thing isn't for personal enjoyment, it's for work. It isn't for getting into a person's pocket and punishing them one by one. I'll take it! " I calmly said as I comforted Liu Yue, "It's alright, it's not that I'm greedy and taking bribes, I was just doing things in the wrong way. It's fine if it's a punishment, since I can't pry my job off …"

"I told your explanation to Zhang Buzhang, but Zhang Buzhang didn't have a choice, he didn't want to change his words, because the few Division Ministers knew about this matter, the Division Chief Qin was right in front of them, I can't say much, Zhang Buzhang clenched his teeth, steeled his heart, and decided to kill you in the end …." Liu Yue's voice sounded a little sad: "On one hand, he doesn't want to start a fight with you, and on the other hand, he urgently needs to catch a good example …"

"Then wouldn't that be equivalent to helping Zhang Buzhang?" I said lightly, "Who told me to be unlucky? I met him and there was nothing I could do about it."

"I know that there are such things in all the editing offices of the newspaper. Everyone does it first before playing, some does it after doing it, while some does it while others does it after doing it, the Party Committee has always kept an eye on them, regardless of it, but this time, in the limelight, on one hand, Zhang Buzhang has to inform the newspaper of this matter in the City Propaganda System, on the other hand, he has to request the newspapers to quickly settle this matter and report it to the Ministry … "This time, it won't be light at all …"

"It's fine, I can take it!" I replied easily, "As long as we don't confiscate the interview machine."

"Of course we have to hand it in," Liu Yue said. "However, after using it for so long, there's a possibility that it will be returned to you guys for your own use, the bosses won't take it for themselves anymore. In the past, many of the interview machine s that were given to us in the name of work had already gone into their own cabinets. "There's no other way. This is reality …"

"As long as we can use the interview machine for our own purposes, I will accept this punishment!" "No," I said.

"I read from your information that you accepted eight interview machine s. How did you get seven?"

"Because I have one, I don't want it anymore!" I said, "The one you bought for me, did you forget?"

"Oh …" I... "How can I forget …" Liu Yue pondered for a moment, "Also, was this done by you or Chen Jing?"

"I did it!"

"Oh …" "Really?"

"It's true!" "No," I said.

After that, Liu Yue went silent for a moment: "This letter, is printed and written in great detail, and I think it was written by the people from the Department of Public Information who responded …"

"Oh …" I felt a pang of frustration, a little sadness, and wondered why the people inside had done this.

"Things are already like this. Zhang Buzhang has already made up his mind; no one can change it, and it's not good for Corydalis to do so either." Don't think too much into it and work properly. Zhang Buzhang didn't ask for you to go to the south to interview anyone else … "

"It's fine. Don't worry, I understand." My heart was moved, touched by Liu Yue's concern for me.

"Sigh …" Liu Yue heaved a long sigh and hung up.

The next morning, the results of my punishment came out: an inspection at a general meeting of the whole society, suspension from duty for a month, and a warning from the Party.

At the same time, all eight interview machine were handed over to the Party committee.

In the afternoon, I once again went to the rostrum of the general assembly and had a thorough examination.

As I stood on the platform for inspection, I would occasionally glance below the stage and catch a glimpse of Liu Fei and Mei Ling who were seated in the front row.
