Trapped in a vacuum, from reciting poems to roaring, and then to raising the gun, it took such a long time, it was enough for the old lady with bound feet to rush from Russia to Iowa City, and naturally it was enough time for the members of the Human Cannon Squad to get close to Lu Gang.
As Lu Gang raised his gun, a small hand grabbed his wrist, squeezed it hard, and shook it. The revolver fell to the ground. Then the small hand twisted Lu Gang's arm hard. There was a sharp sound of bone cracking, and a section of white humerus with a few drops of red stained pierced the skin and was exposed.
The owner of the little hand was Artasha. Although she was a female team member, she was very strong. Moreover, she attacked in anger, so there was no way Lu Gang could end up well.
Lu Gang looked down at his exposed bones in a daze, watching the blood dripping onto the ground. "Am I dreaming? Why doesn't it hurt?"
Lu Gang had read in books that there would be a delay in the transmission of pain nerves to the brain, but having been spoiled since childhood, he had never experienced this phenomenon himself.
Nan Ruoyin pulled her hands out of her bag, covered her ears, looked at Lu Gang, and waited for his pig-like squeal.
"ah……"
Nan Ruoyin was not disappointed. Within half a minute, Lu Gang let out a miserable cry.
"It's really loud, 87 decibels."
Muttering something, Nan Ruoyin grabbed her bag, walked out of the meeting room, called Nan Yi, and explained the whole process in detail.
After listening to Nan Ruoyin, Nan Yi was amused. "Little girl, you have the physique of a king cultivator. Whenever something happens, you are always the first one to arrive, right?"
"No, Dad, I'm so unlucky to encounter such a thing." Nan Ruoyin pouted and said coquettishly, "Dad, I was scared and need comfort."
"Stop it, call a lawyer to resolve the matter quickly. Also, pay attention to the follow-up. Be careful that some lawyers will use this matter to make a big fuss."
"Dad, I'm not stupid. I know what to do."
"That's good to know."
After the call ended, Nan Yi started thinking about Lu Gang. He had heard of this name before. He had heard about excellent students in school. However, he felt that what Nan Ruoyin just mentioned was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard or seen it.
It was an unimportant thing, so since he couldn't remember it, Nan Yi didn't try to think about it. He went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, added two cubes of ice, and walked to the window with the glass. He opened the window and looked up at the heavy snow falling from the sky. This was the first snow in Moscow this year, and it came very quickly and violently.
The next day, Nan Yi got up in the morning and the snow had stopped. He put on his down jacket and went to the yard to check the film greenhouse. It had collapsed. Except for a snow mound, there was no trace of the film.
I dug a hole in the snow and saw a vegetable seedling. Although it was crushed, it was not wilted and there was a great chance that it could survive.
Fill the hole in the snow and complete the morning exercise that I have always insisted on.
The relationship between Ukraine and the Soviet revisionists and Russia has always been very delicate. When Ukraine was still an independent country, it trembled between the two expansionist powers, Germany and Russia. Due to the need for the major powers to build a military buffer zone, Ukraine's territory was always fragmented and never complete. Russia, Germany, Poland and even the Austro-Hungarian Empire would come up and take a bite at any time, and Ukrainians never felt safe.
Although they officially joined the Soviet revisionists in 1922 and became one of the first four republics of the Soviet revisionists, the Ukrainian elite still wanted to break away from the control of the great powers and achieve true independence. Therefore, after the establishment of the Soviet revisionists, a vigorous nationalist movement broke out in Ukraine.
In order to strengthen its rule, the Kremlin carried out a large-scale purge of Ukraine through the "agricultural collectivization" movement. Through forced grain collection, a severe famine broke out in Ukraine in 1932, resulting in the loss of more than three million people.
Such behavior undoubtedly increased Ukrainians' distrust of Soviet revisionism, which also led to the emergence of two guiding parties in Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War - the Nightingale Ranger Battalion and the Roland Battalion.
A man named Su held a gun against the temple of a woman named Wu and asked her affectionately, "Do you love me or not?"
Any woman who cherishes her life and thinks it is better to live a miserable life than to die should say "love" and sing praises to the man surnamed Su. No matter what, it is important to stay alive, as long as you are alive, there is hope.
Now, hope has come, dawn has come.
Ambitious people in Ukraine are ready to make moves, and everyone's attention is focused on political areas such as "independence" and "reconstructing the national system" which cannot be expressed out loud at present. To put it bluntly, it is a struggle for power.
Regarding economic reform and small privatization, there was a power vacuum period. Everyone was busy and had no time to care about these matters. They just followed Moscow's footsteps.
When doing reading comprehension in an exam, there is a only standard answer. Even if the author is here, you have to follow the standard answer. If it doesn't match, points will be deducted. Don't complain and say things like "that's not what I thought when I wrote it", that's not important at all.
If the exam is like this, the interpretation of the policy will be different, just as there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand audiences, and a thousand people interpreting the policy will naturally give a thousand different interpretations.
There are people who can be relied upon and those who cannot, radicals and conservatives. Different situations naturally lead to different perceptions of the world and different interpretations of policies.
The Luhansk region's interpretation of the small privatization reform is more radical. First of all, in terms of time, they will not wait until next year, as ten thousand years is too long and they must seize the day. Since the policy has been issued, they must implement it immediately. Secondly, in terms of fixed asset evaluation, they must grasp the essence of being flexible and not rigid.
The Lugansk Cigarette Factory has 237 employees and fixed assets worth more than 3 million rubles. Originally, neither of these two items met the standards for small privatization reform. This was easy to deal with. The future owner of the cigarette factory paid for the placement of policy implementers and the removal of 38 temporary workers, leaving 199 employees, one short of the upper limit.
Don't underestimate this one person. Although the number is small, it represents a living life. One more or one less can sometimes make a world of difference. As the saying goes, a slight difference can lead to a great mistake.
Just like a mining accident, there are 10 people trapped under the mine. When organizing the rescue, they can't dig any further after the 3rd body. Although there is only 1 difference between 3 and 4, there is a world of difference in some aspects. 3 is enough, no more, and the remaining 7 can be let missing.
The number of employees meets the requirements, so the fixed assets are easy to deal with. Take out 3 million rubles and evaluate the fixed assets at 990,000. As for what the fixed assets are specifically, the future boss doesn't care. Just leave the business license and move everything else away. You can just make a circle around the factory gate and sell them back to the factory, as long as the procedures are solid and everything is reasonable and legal.
Just like that, Huang Hexiang spent more than 4 million rubles to buy the Luhansk Cigarette Factory, and immediately applied to set up a subsidiary factory in a small town near Luhansk in the name of the cigarette factory. This subsidiary factory will be responsible for the final "packaging" link in the future, and this town happens to be in Russia.
After acquiring the factory, Huang Hexiang immediately asked his employees to organize trial production. The Soviet revisionist Tobacco Monopoly Law did not stipulate that "private enterprises" could not produce cigarettes, so as long as they did not sell them, it would not be considered a violation, not to mention that it was a trial production.
The cigarette brand and taste have not been determined. Before these two problems are solved, Yunxiao Tobacco Group is not in a hurry to carry out large-scale production.
These two questions have come to Nan Yi, and he is now sitting at his desk thinking about them.
For Yunxiao Tobacco Group, the main markets it will target in the future include the current Soviet revisionist areas, parts of the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Among them, the current territory of Suxiu will be the main market for future operations. Although Suxiu has a wide variety of cigarette brands, including CCCP, TU-134, NAMNP, ACTPA, POCTOB, etc., there are hundreds of brands, but these brands have one thing in common - they are difficult to smoke, especially difficult to smoke.
During the Great Patriotic War, many Soviet revisionist soldiers who smoked Mahe cigarettes died on the way to the corpses. There was no way around it. The taste of Mahe cigarettes was not much better than that of leaves. German cigarettes were so fragrant.
When faced with being besieged and with no way to escape, the equally brave German troops would often gather cigarettes together, pour gasoline on them and burn them, vowing never to leave the first-level strategic equipment to the enemy.
Although decades have passed and Mahe cigarettes can only be found in remote areas, the fact that Soviet revisionist cigarettes are difficult to smoke has not changed. In a horizontal comparison, the only cigarette that is more difficult to smoke is Albanian cigarettes.
Nan Yi, who has smoked two Albanian brands of cigarettes, Shkodra and Sports, believes that smoking these cigarettes is not as comfortable and addictive as smoking mosquito coils. If you want to quit smoking, you don’t need to eat smoking cessation candy or drink smoking cessation tea. You can directly switch to Albanian cigarettes. Within three months, a 40-year-old smoker will want to vomit when he smells the smoke. He strives to become a smoking cessation ambassador.
Nan Yi pondered for a while and wrote "Entropy" and "Aztecs" on the paper. One is entropy and the other is Aztecs. Entropy has something to do with combustion. The Aztecs are the earliest recorded smoking group, and the brands of cigarettes they used are very high-end.
Nan Yi drew two horizontal lines under "Entropy" and decided to use this name as the brand of Yunxiao's special cigarettes, making it more high-end and selling it in limited quantities; "Aztecs" was used as the main brand, and a series was developed under this brand; in addition, a "Parasite" brand was added to focus on the African market.
"Parasite" literally means parasite, and by extension it can be used to explain laziness and gluttony. Of course, this is not the right way to explain the brand. It can be said that "African people living in rich and resource-rich land can easily lead an enviable and affluent life." A line of text can also be added on the cigarette box - dedicated to the greatest African people.
"It's about making money, so it's not shameful to flatter. If necessary, you can say I'm African."
Nan Yi muttered to himself and drew two horizontal lines under "Entropy" with the pen in his hand. He only proposed the other two brands for reference, and it was up to Yunxiao Tobacco Group to decide whether to use them. So the brand "Entropy" which had nothing to do with marketing was decided.
Then, Nan Yi sent an email to Brookhan, the president of Luban Wood Industry, to separate Luban Wood Industry's betel nut plantations in Madagascar, India and Sri Lanka, and set up a betel nut company to prepare for cooperation with Yunxiao Tobacco Group to carry out joint marketing.
Betel nut and cigarettes have infinite power, and these two products are very suitable for bundling together for marketing.
In addition, there is another advantage that can only be mentioned behind closed doors. Selling betel nuts not only makes a profit, but also provides a steady stream of customers to Wei Li Dental and Adler Clinic, thus establishing a virtuous profit chain.
"Should we set up a charity fund with a handling fee of 80% and an operating cost of 19.5% to help oral cancer patients? Oh, forget it. This is someone else's forbidden food, which is prone to friction. Besides, it's a bit ugly. I'm too shy to eat this delicious food. What a pity, what a pity, this is a lucrative business with no capital."
Nan Yi's mind was running wild when the phone on the table rang.
"Mr. Nan."
"Oh, Meimei, what's wrong?"
The person on the other end of the phone was Zhen Meimei, Bao Huantou's translator. Bao Huantou's Russian was only at a mediocre level and his progress was slow. Without an interpreter by his side, he could not do anything.
"Mr. Bao and I went to visit Izmailov and waited for more than three hours, but he didn't see us."
"Since you don't see him, then you go back first."
Izmailov was the one who bought the 600 acres of vacant land next to the Olympic Village before Nan Yi. His background has been uncovered. It was he who made his fortune in the past two years by making side deals with the cooperative. It has not been discovered who is behind him, but it is certain that he came from a good family before he became rich. Two generations of him were poor farmers, and his grandfather had done business, so they were considered a well-off family at the time.
Nan Yi called Aksinya, who he had sent to handle the company registration procedures. Although the Soviet revisionists had developed the ЛК-1 mobile phone in the 1950s, it had never been taken seriously, resulting in the slow development of mobile phones in the Soviet revisionists, and there is still no mobile phone network.
As a last resort, in order to facilitate communication, Nan Yi equipped Aksinya with a satellite phone. Of course, it must have been bought from outside, not from Nan's internal satellite network.
Nan Yi told Aksinya not to come to the consulate directly tomorrow, but to visit Izmailov first. If Izmailov was still indifferent to Aksinya, it could be basically judged that even if Izmailov had someone behind him, his strength was very limited. If he didn't accept the toast, he would be forced to drink a penalty drink.
…
At noon, after eating something, Nan Yi found the "Summary of Science and Technology" published by the Institute of Science and Technology Information, and searched through the issues of the magazine for various fields. He compared the articles with the dictionary, but found most of them incomprehensible. There were too many professional terms. Nan Yi's Russian level was only half-baked, so it was too difficult for him to understand.
As long as they are scientific and technological talents, Nan Yi will pay close attention to them. Although it is not clear what field Jin Qiushi is engaged in, Nan Yi still pays attention to him. If what Jin Qiushi has in his mind is what Nan's needs, Nan Yi will immediately use sugar-coated bullets to attack him. No doubt about it, it will be a blanket bombardment. Even if Jin Qiushi's dog keeps a mouse as a pet, it will also be included in Nan's welfare system, and two cats will be killed in front of it every day to cheer it up.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi showed up at Xiaoma Translation on time. Jin Qiushi had already arrived. Because of Nan Yi's care yesterday, Zheng Daming was very polite to Jin Qiushi. He arranged for him to sit at an empty table and served him a cup of black tea.
Coming to Jin Qiushi's side, Nan Yi took out the torn magazine pages and said, "Old comrade, these are them. You can translate them into Chinese in three hours. If you have more time, you can also try to translate a French version."
Jin Qiushi took the page, took out a glasses case from his bag, put on his reading glasses, and immediately started translating at his desk.
Three hours was neither long nor short, and Nan Yi couldn't just sit there and wait. He ran to the training ground and killed more than an hour there. Then he went into a convenience store, took a paper cup, and selected oden from the twenty-grid container.
All convenience stores of 996 Convenience Store, a subsidiary of Yi Retail, have the same decoration style and generally the same furnishings in all countries and regions. Only the details are slightly adjusted according to the customs and best-selling products of different regions.
For example, the 20 grids of oden were taken over from 7-ELEVEn and then improved to become standard equipment in all 996 stores. There is also an electric grill for grilling sausages. These two items may not look very eye-catching, but they can actually earn enough to pay for the store employees' salaries.
In addition, Fen Juhua’s “70% Love” semi-finished food series, instant lunch box series, and breakfast series are all standard features of the store and have very good sales. These have also become one of the flagship products that 996 competes with other convenience stores.
After picking out several oden dishes, Nan Yi fished out a bottle of milk from the pot beside him, took out his wallet, and said to the store manager Rogowski, "How is business today?"
"Not bad, the sales of instant lunch boxes are very good, especially on the 12th."
Rogowski is a native of Moscow. Before being transferred here from Vasily Supermarket, he took a few days of intensive Chinese lessons. He had no problem communicating when it came to collecting money, but not so good at other things. The same was true for another clerk, who also had trouble with Chinese.
Arranging two Moscow clerks who were not fluent in Chinese was purely intentional. Nan Yi did not want the clerks to be too familiar with the residents here, and he had many considerations.
First, people's hearts are complicated. If you arrange for domestic people to work as store clerks and they have more contact with residents, they may easily get into trouble. It is not only the clerk's personal trouble, but the convenience store may also be involved, such as buying on credit or storing some important things in the store.
The second is to reduce the probability of cultivating friendly competitors. Jiujiuliu's management system, supply system, cashier system, and service system all have their own unique features. Nanyi does not want to see a Chinese copy a Vasily Supermarket in Russia.
As far as Nan Yi knows, those who like to do supermarket business abroad are either from Huqing or Wenshi. People from these two places have strong clan spirits. If one person does well, he can lead a large group. If in a few years Russia is full of Chinese supermarkets, it may not be a good thing.
Nan Yi is not afraid of competition, but he is worried about being struck by thunder. His country's retail industry is controlled by people from another country. It would be strange if he didn't strike back. It would be easy to be finished with both sides if he tried to catch rabbits while robbing grass.
Although he was prepared to run away at any time, no one would have too much money, and he would do business for as long as he could. In fact, Nan Yi also had the extravagant hope of continuing to do business. In short, he was prepared for the worst and looked forward to the best tomorrow.
"Repeat after me: Beijing-style shredded pork lunch box."
"Jingjiang...rose...box lunch." Rogowski stuttered and repeated it to Nan Yi.
"No, it's the Beijing-style shredded pork lunch box."
Nan Yi corrected Rogowski's pronunciation and stopped trying to teach him a lesson only when he could pronounce it properly. He paid the bill, took a newspaper from the newspaper rack, and sat down at the empty seat prepared for customers in the store.
As soon as the three hours were up, Nan Yi returned to Xiaoma Translation. Jin Qiushi had completed the translation work, not only translating the Chinese version, but also the French version.
After Nan Yi read it, he still couldn't understand what he shouldn't understand, and it didn't make any difference because of the change of characters. But Jin Qiushi's handwriting is good. The Chinese characters are in small regular script, which has the flavor of (child) star record small regular script. Most of the characters are traditional characters, and only a few characters are simplified characters. The French characters are in standard French cursive, and all the letters are tilted to the right about 15 degrees, which looks very beautiful.
Not to mention that handwriting reflects a person's character, at least Nan Yi discovered two pieces of information from Jin Qiushi's handwriting - Jin Qiushi should have come to the Soviet revisionist party before 1956 and did not catch up with the promotion of simplified Chinese; Jin Qiushi really dabbled in a lot of things, the pages of the book that Nan Yi took out involved nuclear physics, semiconductors, and mechanics, and he was able to translate them one by one.
Well, regarding the second point, Nan Yi still needs to send Jin Qiushi’s translation to someone who can understand it before he can fully confirm it.
"Old comrade, your handwriting is very beautiful and your translation is also very good. How about setting your hourly wage at $7?"
"Seven dollars?"
Jin Qiushi exclaimed, the price shocked him.
"Yes, 7 dollars. If you agree to this number, you will be assigned a task tomorrow, which is also a written translation. Your workload per hour will be calculated based on today's workload divided by 6."
Jin Qiushi's face lit up, "Okay, what time should I come over tomorrow?"
"Don't bother. I'll be passing Lenin Street tomorrow. I'll just drop it off for you. It'll probably be around 1pm."
"Okay, I live on the 5th floor of Building 3."
Jin Qiushi was not surprised that Nan Yi knew where he lived. Every unit in Moscow has its own staff building/community (Khrushchev building, which is what people in China learned from). Except for confidential units, knowing the unit means knowing where he lives.
The next day, Nan Yi personally delivered the "materials" to be translated to Jin Qiushi, met his wife Zoya, and observed that she might have just suffered a serious illness. After staying for a while, Nan Yi said goodbye and left, and then quickly called Zhang Yizhin.
"The forehead wrinkles on both sides are symmetrical, the limbs are weak and numb, the speech is difficult, and it is easy to choke when drinking water. It looks like there is a bit of facial paralysis. Is this caused by a stroke?"
Zhang Yizhen: "Boss, according to your description, it is very likely a stroke caused by cerebrovascular disease, which is commonly known as a major stroke. The official term in traditional Chinese medicine is stroke."
“Is it troublesome and expensive to prepare?”
Zhang Yizhen: "It's a bit troublesome. I need acupuncture frequently. The money is not bad. There are no expensive herbs in the prescription."
"Understood. Have someone who is familiar with this disease prepare to fly to Moscow. I will notify you of the specific time later."
"OK."
At the same time, in the United States, Rachel's secretary was signing a share transfer contract with Arnold Porter, a top lawyer and owner of the Arnold Porter Law Firm, to transfer shares of Moscow Bridge Company.
Porter initially invested $3 million in Bridge Company. In less than two years, Rachel bought shares valued at $7 million for $17 million. Porter made a net profit of $14 million. This was a good deal for him and also for Pan American Investment because the major shareholder of Bridge Company was Gusinsky.
Gusinsky is of Jewish descent. After graduating from high school, he tried to apply for the Moscow Institute of Physics and Engineering, but was discriminated against. After dropping out of school, he worked in the black market, doing business in imported jeans and audio tapes.
He then had two years of military career. After demobilization, at the instigation of his friends, he applied for the National Academy of Dramatic Art. As a result, this young man who had never read Stanislavsky and Shakespeare was unexpectedly admitted.
Studying drama was not very important to Gusinsky. In college, he put his interpersonal skills to the best use.
In the era of material scarcity, he was always able to solve problems for his teachers and classmates. He was also one of the very few people in the school who owned a car. As a result, he got to know many upper-class people, even KGB elites.
The reality is cruel. After studying screenwriting and acting for several years, he couldn't find an acting opportunity. Frustrated, Gusinsky gave up. He was planning to make some money by driving a "black car", but he accidentally discovered the value of copper cables in transformers. So he stole the copper wires and found a factory to process them into copper bracelets. He could produce more than 50,000 pieces a day and sell them for 5 rubles, making a fortune.
Later, Gusinsky hooked up with Mikhailovich, who was then a minor civil servant issuing licenses for new businesses.
In 1988, Gusinsky opened a cooperative to provide consulting services to Western investors on doing business in the Soviet Union.
One day, he received a group of American businessmen who came to Moscow to look for opportunities. One of them was from one of the top law firms in Washington. After a few visits, the two sides established a partnership and founded Bridge Company.
With the help of Americans, Gusinsky took Mihajlovic to visit the United States, which broadened his horizons. They all agreed that renovating old urban houses could make money.
After returning, the two reached a tacit understanding. Mihajlovic provided the old house for free, Gusinsky rebuilt it, half or two-thirds of it was returned to the municipal government, and the rest was sold. Even so, there was still a good profit.
In July this year, Mikhailovich was promoted to deputy mayor of Moscow. Under his operation, Bridge Company joined the army of opening private banks and opened a Bridge Bank.
In Moscow, it is not convenient for Nan Yi to investigate Mikhailovich, but that does not mean he cannot save the country in a roundabout way. With a little inquiry, he can find out that he has a relationship with Gusinsky, and then follow Gusinsky's line to investigate, and the clues he gets can be connected together through imagination.
There is a rather obscene quote by Eileen Chang in "Lust, Caution". Nan Yi feels that it makes some sense. Aksinya is a time bomb buried next to him, and he doesn't know when it will explode and give him a big surprise. He has to choose between persuading her or sleeping with her.
In the afternoon, Nan Yi quietly checked the email sent by Rachel, and then took Aksinya to Chinatown. Chinatown is located on the north side of Red Square. It is a group of buildings with Chinese classical style. Together with Red Square and the Kremlin, it constitutes the core of ancient Moscow.
"Aksinya, why is a Chinese city built here?"
Aksinya was very surprised by Nan Yi's tone. In the past, Nan Yi was always serious when talking to her, but now there was a hint of gentleness in his tone, which made her very uncomfortable.
"The Kremlin was formerly called Kremlin City. It is not only the central area of ​​Moscow, but also the earliest forbidden area to be protected by city walls. The reason why there is a Chinese city here is because of a woman, Yelena Glinskaya, the mother of Ivan the Terrible, the first Russian Tsar.
During her regency, she built the city wall of the district and named it Huaguo City in memory of her ancestral home, the small Huaguo City. Yelena Glinskaya is a descendant of Mamai, the commander of the Golden Horde, and has Huaguo ancestry.
This is one of the theories. Some historians say that Huaguocheng actually means Zhongcheng in Mongolian because it is located between the inner city of the Kremlin and the Moscow River.
There is another saying that the Italian architect who directed the construction of the city called it "China City", and the construction workers did not understand the meaning, so they understood it as China City according to the pronunciation.
As they walked, Nan Yi slowly got closer and closer to Aksinya, and their arms would rub against each other if they were not careful.
After rubbing his hands again, Nan Yi turned around and asked, "Which version do you think is closer to the truth?"
"I think it's the first one, the other two are more speculation."
Aksinya felt something strange on her arm, but she didn't move away. This level of contact didn't make her feel disgusted.
"Did Catherine II live in the Kremlin?"
"What else?"
"That's strange. I know her first lover was Saltykov. They had an affair in the palace because her husband was not capable of it. For the sake of the inheritance of the imperial power, they were allowed by the old Emperor Elizabeth to have an affair openly and gave birth to Paul I.
However, her second lover, Poniatowski, was a subordinate of the British ambassador to Russia. At that time, Catherine II was not in power. I think Poniatowski could not easily enter and leave the Kremlin. Where did they have an affair?"
"I don't know." Aksinya replied unhappily. How could she be happy when a man wanted to talk to her about another woman's affair?
"Okay." Nan Yi spread his hands and smiled faintly, "Let's not talk about this topic. Let's go to GUM Shopping Mall."
The two of them came to the GUM shopping mall, strolled for a while, and entered a store called "Hua Store". With Aksinya's introduction, Nan Yi knew that this was a special store exclusively for high-ranking Soviet revisionists to shop, selling some imported goods that were not easy to find on the market. Ordinary people couldn't even think of coming in to buy things, let alone just to see the store. Nan Yi was able to come in thanks to Aksinya's face.
Nan Yi looked at the European goods displayed on the counter. They were just mid-level goods in Europe. This made him doubt whether the word "special supply" here was reliable. However, when he thought about the current Soviet revisionist economy, he no longer found it strange.
Inadvertently, Nan Yi saw Aksinya's gaze lingering on a ruby ​​necklace for a long time. He remained calm and secretly memorized the style of the necklace. If he pretended to be rich and bought the necklace now, Aksinya might not accept it. If he bought it secretly and suddenly gave it to her one day, the surprise should be stronger.
"Just hope this little bitch isn't a swallow."
After staying in Hua Store for a while, the two went to NO.57, a restaurant on the third floor that specializes in lovers' sets.
The lights in the restaurant were deliberately dim, and the pink color made people feel charming. There were many people, couples, but it was not noisy. Nan Yi and Aksinya sat at a more secluded table, and a few school beauties then occupied the three tables on the side, in pairs .
