"No, Director Dong helped me, it was completely obligatory. At most, he took a little local specialties, and he really didn't get much money..." Ruan Phucen quickly stated. He was determined to say that Dong Yan didn't take a penny, and remembered that he didn't pay attention just now, revealing that Dong Yan bought a watch and other things. It seemed unreasonable to say that he didn't get the money.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Director Ruan, you should believe that the Reinstallation Office is on your side and Director Dong. What you need to do now is to cooperate with us and we both discuss a plan to rescue Director Dong. If you even hide it from us, then we may not be able to help."

"Director Feng is right..." Ruan Phoenix showed an embarrassing smile on his face and said, "Director Feng knows that I am a farmer, without power, and only have a few dollars. Dong Yan comes to help me every Sunday, running around Jianlu and Hoi'an. It's so hard, is it worth it for me to give him some rewards?"

"How much has he received from you in total?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"This..." Ruan Phoen hesitated for a moment, and saw a look of displeasure flashing across Feng Xiaochen's face. He knew that he could not even catch this life-saving straw if he kept it hidden. He had to tell the truth and said, "I haven't calculated the total number, it looks like two or three thousand yuan."

"Silk..." Zhou Mengshi and Gu Shijian both took a breath. It was only a little longer since the fertilizer equipment subcontracting last year to now. Dong Yan actually made such a big money by relying on Sundays to help. No wonder some people were jealous.

Feng Xiaochen disagreed. What's the point of just two or three thousand yuan? If it were in later generations, people with technical level like Dong Yan would not have a single appearance fee of this. Even if the current currency is more valuable than later generations, it would not be much to make two or three thousand yuan in half a year. Yan Baitong helped Chenyu Company for more than a year and earned tens of thousands of yuan. This is not the case that the patent dividends currently on the company's account, waiting for the opportunity to be allocated to him in the future.

"In addition to cash income, how much more can the things you gave him be worth?" Leng Feiyun asked next to him. He remembered that Ruan Phucang had just said that he also gave Dong Yan local specialties.

"A little local specialties are all produced in the ground and are not worth it." Ruan Phucgen said. Seeing Feng Xiaochen's eyes glaring at him slightly, he quickly changed his words and said, "In addition to local specialties, I have also given his wife Xie Li a cosmetics set and some stationery to his son and daughter. Together, it looks like a thousand dollars."

"The total amount of three or four thousand yuan is enough to file a case." Gu Shijian said.

"Ah?" Ruan Phucen was stunned. What does this Comrade Gu mean?

Feng Xiaochen waved his hand and said, "Old Gu, you can't say that. This is Dong Yan's labor income, not obtained by selling national interests, and cannot be regarded as accepting bribes."

"Yes, it's definitely not taking bribes." Nguyen Phuc Gen said.

Leng Feiyun reminded: "Director Feng, this is a legal matter. We cannot interfere with it. Let's draw a conclusion now. I think this matter involves the subcontracting task of large fertilizer equipment undertaken by Quanfu Machinery Factory, which has a certain relationship with our reinstallation, so we should report to the leader first, and then decide how to inquire. As for how to deal with Director Dong in the end, I think we should respect the legal provisions, what do you think."

"I understand." Feng Xiaochen nodded. Leng Feiyun's words were a meticulous and polite word. As an official, Feng Xiaochen should not make conclusions about things too early, especially if he cannot make any promises to Ruan Phuc, otherwise he will be caught and affect the development of his career.

However, Feng Xiaochen also knew that the Dong Yan incident was just a small incident in the reform process. There may be some controversy today in the Sunday engineer incident. In the past one or two years, it will no longer be considered a deviant thing. In fact, if there was no feud between Ma Weixiang and Ruan Phucang, this incident would not have developed to the point where the police came forward. At best, it would have been a few criticisms from the unit.

After all, the crux of the matter is Ma Weixiang. To solve this problem, we have to start with Ma Weixiang.

"Director Ruan, we already know about this. As Director Leng said, we need to report to the leader first, and then follow the leader's instructions to further understand. You must be patient. However, I can guarantee you that as long as Director Dong has not sold out the state technical secrets and has not damaged the public and private, there will be no problem." Feng Xiaochen said to Ruan Phuc.

"That's so thank you. Thank you Director Feng, thank you Director Leng, thank you Comrade Gu, Comrade Zhou!" Ruan Phucen turned around and bowed to everyone, fearing that he would neglect someone and affect the handling of the matter.

After seeing off Ruan Phucen, Feng Xiaochen ordered Gu Shijian and Zhou Mengshi to check the information and find out how similar things are usually handled. He and Leng Feiyun came to Luo Xiangfei's office to report the matter to him.

"It's really a random piano!" After listening to Feng Xiaochen's retelling, Luo Xiangfei frowned and cursed, "Some of us comrades focus not on construction, but on various conspiracies."

"Yes, the most fundamental reason for this matter is that Ma Weixiang is dissatisfied with the arrangements for the reinstallation. Ruan Phucen was just his target of venting his anger, and Dong Yan suffered for no reason." Feng Xiaochen commented.

Leng Feiyun said: "You can't say that either. According to Ruan Phuc Gen, Dong Yan received two or three thousand yuan in cash rewards from him in half a year, as well as gifts worth more than one thousand yuan. The amount was very large, which was also the reason why the police arrested him."

Luo Xiangfei raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is this kind of income stipulated by law for public officials?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "I have arranged for Gu Shijian and Zhou Mengshi to find out. According to my impression, the law stipulates the crime of embezzlement and bribery, but Dong Yan's situation is neither corruption nor bribery. Because bribery should be based on selling national interests. Dong Yan makes money with his own knowledge, so it cannot be considered bribery, right?"

Leng Feiyun said: "From a emotional point of view, I don't think so. But we have to listen to the court for specific provisions in law."

"Yes, we can't interfere with the law." Luo Xiangfei said.

Feng Xiaochen said: "This is actually a gray area that is not stipulated by law. According to legal principles, no law prohibits it. Haidong Province does this as a result of law enforcement departments not understanding the law."

"Are you sure?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "If public officials make extra money, it is illegal, then there are probably only a few people who are not illegal in all state-owned enterprises, institutions and even our administrative agencies. Just say, Director Luo, you are also among the illegal ones."

Luo Xiangfei was stunned: "Me? Do you have it? When did I earn extra money?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Didn't you receive a remittance bill last week? I took it for you from Director Liu, and it's fifteen yuan."

Luo Xiangfei said: "Why is that extra money? That's an article about the development of the equipment industry that I wrote was published in the Economic Daily. The manuscript fee paid to me... Hey, you are right. If it is said in the case of Dong Yan, I will be extra money, right?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Your nature is even more serious than Dong Yan. Dong Yan guided Ruan Phuc Gen's company, using the knowledge he learned in college, and did not involve technical information about marine engineering. And your article used a lot of information we collected at work, and some of the views were also the ideas we talked about at the meeting. This is considered a job work."

"Really?" Luo Xiangfei's face was a little serious. He thought about it carefully and said, "Xiao Feng, after you say this, I really think this is the case. Otherwise, I will hand over the fifteen-yuan royalty fee..."

"No, Director Luo, you must not do this." Feng Xiaochen knew that he was joking, so he quickly said: "I just said that it is okay if the law is not prohibited. There is no law that you cannot write articles, and the income from publishing articles is not illegal. In state organs, which official will not write a few articles? If you really ask everyone to pay the royalties, you can't make a big deal."

"But..." Luo Xiangfei was a little confused. Of course, he knew that it was a routine to get royalties for writing articles. Many officials were proud of earning more money. When the Economic Commission held a meeting, sometimes people would joke with their colleagues who received royalties and ask them to use the royalties to invite everyone to smoke and eat candy. This is a kind of elegant event. But according to Feng Xiaochen, it seems really unreasonable to write articles with the information obtained at work and the opinions discussed collectively, and earn royalties for themselves.

Leng Feiyun had to show up to smooth things over: "Director Luo, don't listen to Xiao Feng's nonsense, he is talking about fallacies. In fact, you write articles to promote our policy ideas. This is your special job, and we did not pay you overtime pay, and these royalties are considered overtime pay. Think about it, it is better for some gays to write such articles in their spare time than for some gays to just play cards and chess in their spare time, right?"

"Well, you're a fallacy." Luo Xiangfei smiled. Leng Feiyun's explanation was really a bit distorted, but it was reasonable. He now figured it out that paying the royalties is definitely a thankless thing. If he lost money, others would say that he was in the limelight. Once this matter spreads, it would make those colleagues who have also received the royalties feel unhappy. With Luo Xiangfei's reading, how could he do such a thing?

However, Luo Xiangfei was a little more affirmed about Dong Yan's affairs by letting Feng Xiaochen disturb him, and even thought of some policy-level matters. Nowadays, the state encourages emancipation of the mind and starting machines. In the case of insufficient national technical talents, it is a good thing that is conducive to economic construction to allow some capable technicians to use their spare time to provide services to other units. And once this behavior is advocated, the corresponding remuneration is inevitable. We cannot always work voluntarily, right?
