The funds were not enough to squander, so Xie Pengshan came up with the idea of using the company's public funds.

acted as the "big brother" in the live broadcast room
embezzled 1.27 million public funds to reward female anchors
36-year-old Xie Pengshan has worked at Xinhua Bookstore in Puge County for ten years. He is usually introverted, down-to-earth and hard-working. He has worked in the textbook distribution department all the way. From staff to director, and then to manager, he has been a rigorous and pragmatic "little expert" for ten years.
"My life is very simple. I have no friends and I am not married. Apart from going to work, I like to stay at home and watch videos and play games." In October 2022, a short video broke Xie Pengshan's peaceful life. He clicked on the short video to enter the live broadcast room. The female anchor in the live broadcast room was sweet and humorous. At the same time, many people were shopping for gifts. Xie Pengshan followed the trend and gave a virtual gift worth 200 yuan without thinking much.
"Thank you for the gift from the 'pure' brother!" Being named by the anchor in a live broadcast room with thousands of people, Xie Pengshan, who has always been like a "transparent person", felt "taken seriously" for a long time. After that, he began to frequently reward female anchors in the live broadcast room, and the amount of each reward ranged from tens to hundreds of yuan.
The appearance of an anchor named "Liu Yuqi" completely changed Xie Pengshan's life. After meeting "Liu Yuqi" on the Internet, Xie Pengshan was guided by "Liu Yuqi" to a live broadcast platform called "Banban". This platform is a voice chat platform where you can only hear the voice but not see the person. Here, Xie Pengshan and the considerate "Liu Yuqi" become more and more speculative as they chat.
"She is in the same situation as me. She has not received the care of her parents since she was a child. We cherish each other." From food, clothing, housing and transportation to work and life, "Liu Yuqi" described her "tragic" life experience, while at the same time she greeted Xie Pengshan and treated her with every possible care. At the beginning, Xie Pengshan still maintained a high degree of vigilance, but as the communication continued to deepen, Xie Pengshan gradually let go of his guard. "Every day after work, I just want to go home and watch the live broadcast as soon as possible." "Liu Yuqi" gradually showed his "original form" and constantly asked Xie Pengshan to upgrade his account and get gifts.
"I only rewarded 'Liu Yuqi', and the gifts I received slowly increased from two to three hundred yuan to five to six thousand yuan. People in the live broadcast room called me 'Big Brother on the List', and everyone also envied 'Liu Yuqi'. This kind of It feels addictive." Xie Pengshan is addicted to online live broadcasts every day, unable to extricate himself from the illusory flattery.
The position of "big brother" requires a lot of funds to maintain. In just a few months, Xie Pengshan spent all his savings of more than 100,000 yuan, but his vanity and possessiveness prevented him from stopping. He borrowed money through online loan software many times, but the funds were still not enough for squandering. The pressure forced him to use the company's public funds out of nowhere.
In February 2023, in order to facilitate the collection of teaching materials fees from various schools, Liangshan Xinhua Bookstore Co., Ltd. launched a corporate QR code collection service and handed it over to each county branch for management and use. Xie Pengshan replaced the company's payment code with a personal payment code, and then collected a total of more than 1.34 million yuan in teaching aid materials fees from 24 schools in Puge County to his personal account, and used all of the more than 1.27 million yuan for online rewards.
The female anchor asked for help after the incident.
But the other party suddenly disappeared. He chose to take the initiative to surrender.
"One day, I gave a one-time reward of 70,000 yuan. Everyone in the live broadcast room cheered for me, but the moment the payment was successful, I was so scared that my hands and feet were numb. I'm shaking, I feel like I've been poisoned..." In fact, Xie Pengshan has already realized that there is something wrong with the "Banban" live broadcast platform, and he just keeps deceiving himself, trying to retain the illusory sense of existence as much as possible. In May 2023, the "Banban" platform was investigated by the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau for suspected violations of the law. However, Xie Pengshan, who was trapped in the online world, persisted in his obsession and even moved the "battlefield", successively downloaded other illegal live broadcast software, and continued to "indulge" in it. In his own "sweet dream".
In August 2023, the company urged Xie Pengshan to hand over the accounts when settling accounts. At this time, Xie Pengshan looked back and realized that he had spent more than 1.62 million yuan on the online platform.
"Later, I told 'Liu Yuqi' my actual situation through the live broadcast platform. I thought she would comfort me and help me, but she suddenly disappeared." Xie Pengshan, who had just woken up from the dream, finally chose to surrender.
After investigation, from February to August 2023, Xie Pengshan took advantage of his position to illegally embezzle more than 1.27 million yuan in teaching aid material fees for personal consumption.
"The reason why we have reached this point is, on the one hand, that relaxed study leads to indifference and lack of respect for discipline and law, and another very important reason is spiritual emptiness. I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the trial of the law." Xie Pengshan burst into tears. Down.
As a manager of a state-owned company, Xie Pengshan took advantage of his position to illegally embezzle the company's funds when he was responsible for collecting the company's funds. In accordance with the Supervision Law of the People's Republic of China and other relevant regulations, Liangshan Xinhua Bookstore Co., Ltd. terminated the labor contract with Xie Pengshan. According to the relevant provisions of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China", Xie Pengshan's behavior should be determined to constitute the crime of corruption.
