Although the Soviet economy was about to collapse and the country was about to fall apart, the arrogance that was embedded in the bones of the Soviets remained unchanged.

The waiter of the hotel tilted his head and brought Blagoveshchensk's unique alcoholic drinks, in his eyes, the tall and mighty Soviet talents were real warriors, while the Chinese from friendly countries could not even drink a glass of vodka.

Li Xian said a polite "thank you", in exchange for the waiter's arrogant sneer.

Xu Qianning raised her fist at the waiter's back unconvinced, and whispered, "Do all the people here have eyes on the top of their heads?"

"One day when China becomes a big country in the East, you can also nostril to the sky. Li Xian laughed.

"But, I'm in Xiangjiang. Xu Qianning shook her head in disappointment.

"It's going to come back, but it won't be a few years. Li Xian knows the trend of history and swears by it.

Xu Qianning thought that Li Xian was just comforting her, so she didn't think much about it, and stared at the salad bread in front of her in a daze.

"Eat a little bit, we have something to do in the morning. Li Xian sighed, he wasn't much sure about what was about to happen.

After breakfast, Li Xian, under the leadership of Chen Mingyong, went to the small hotel where the Hongyun Building convoy lived.

The inn was home to a wide variety of people from other countries, some panning for gold, some smuggling here, and some with the intention of messing up the Soviet Union.

The convoy lived on the first floor, in a dark and damp environment, adding to the chill of winter.

"How do you live in this place?" Li Xianyi walked into the room, looked at the ice slag in the corner, and couldn't help frowning.

Chen Mingyong rubbed his hands, sighed, and said, "It's cheap here, they all say it's used to living." ”

In the room, a big stove was lit, and a group of workers huddled together to bake the fire, and after seeing Chen Mingyong and Li Xian coming, they all stood up and shouted, "Hello general manager." ”

Li Xian hurriedly asked them to sit down, and wherever they were willing to listen, they all looked at Li Xian excitedly.

Soon, someone gave up a chair, and after Li Xian had no choice but to sit down, they sat down.

"This trip, everyone has worked hard. Li Xian looked at the cold red face and said from the bottom of his heart.

"General manager, don't say that, this is what we should do. One of the drivers, who didn't look very old, scratched his head and said slightly apologetically.

As soon as he spoke, everyone else chimed in.

Li Xian looked around the environment in the house again, except for a table and a few beds, there was nothing else, he shook his head and said, "This is not good, it is easy to get sick if you live here." Mingyong, you go and settle the bill, and everyone go to my hotel over there. ”

Chen Mingyong knew Li Xian's character, and it was difficult to change the things he decided, so he stopped persuading him and walked out after answering the word.

The others looked a little embarrassed, and said one after another: "General manager, I really don't need to do this, I can stand it." ”

Li Xian pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he said: "Listen to me, I know you want to save a sum of money and go home for the New Year, but you are my employees, that is my family, and I can't help but see my brothers freezing here." This time, I invited everyone to stay in the hotel and promised to give everyone a good year. ”

When everyone heard this, they all cheered and began to pack their bags.

Chen Mingyong settled the room bill with the help of the guide, walked in worriedly, pulled Li Xian aside, and whispered: "Da Xian, isn't this inappropriate? It has encouraged their luxury habits, and next time they want to live in a more expensive place." ”

Li Xian shook his head and smiled: "The simple style that is put into the bones of the Chinese will not change, if they have money, what is the problem of living in a better place? Not to mention that in the future, our company will not even make everyone afford to live in a better place, then wouldn't I be too much of a failure?"

Chen Mingyong listened patiently, and always felt that Li Xian's thoughts were different from ordinary people, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to say: "Anyway, the company is yours." ”

"Okay, you take them over, I'll have something to do in a while. By the way, did you bring all the cigarettes you brought?" Li Xian waved his hand, and suddenly remembered something important.

"Bring, bringing, don't you know, in order to bring those Marlboros into the country, buddy, I almost sacrificed so many years of innocence. ”

Since Chen Mingyong called Zhi Zheng and Xue Yang brothers, he simply smelled like each other, and all kinds of meat words came out casually.

Li Xian smiled and asked, "Does anyone fancy you?"

"That's not accurate, Lao Maozi heard that both men and women eat it. Chen Mingyong showed a frightened face.

"Give me thirty cigarettes, I'll be useful. Li Xian didn't talk to him anymore.

"Do you want to go to the meeting alone?" asked Chen Mingyong in surprise.

"Yes, yes, but not alone. Li Xian pointed to the car outside, and said: "Put the cigarette in the car, bring a few Chinese cigarettes, the kind that chokes people, don't be good, Lao Maozi is good for that puff." ”

Chen Mingyong did as Li Xian instructed, took a cigarette, and stuffed it into the trunk of the car.

Li Xian got into the car, waved goodbye to Chen Mingyong, and asked the driver to pick up people at the hotel.

After picking up the old man and Babinov, Li Xian planned to meet with the brigade commander of the Soviet border guards to see what he was capable of.

"I'm going too!" Xu Qianning stood outside the car and said unconvinced.

"Honestly stay in the hotel, the affairs of the men, it is not appropriate for you to go. Li Xian rolled the window and said.

"You said you would take me there, not to mention that I have good kung fu and can help you. Xu Qianning grabbed the handlebar and didn't let go, and Li Xian smiled awkwardly at everyone.

He got out of the car and explained, "What should you do if you are a girl and are taken by that group of big-headed soldiers?"

"What's the matter? I was taken care of, don't you want to?" Xu Qianning asked closer, almost touching Li Xian's face.

Everyone in the car turned their heads away, embarrassed to look at it again.

"Anyway, you can't go!" Li Xian lost his temper rarely.

"You said yes in the morning, how can you talk without words?" Xu Qianning pouted and said angrily.

"Am I going to regret it again?"

"Anyway, have to take me. Xu Qianning turned her head to look to the side.

Li Xian sighed, shook his head helplessly, and saw a stall next to him selling fur hats, and the stall owner seemed to be also Chinese.

He walked over, regardless of the expensive price, bought a hat, put it on Xu Qianning's head, covered her whole face tightly, and then clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "If you want to go, just go." ”

Xu Qianning was stunned at first, then covered her mouth and smiled, and followed Li Xian into the car.

The old man remained silent, but Babinov looked back from time to time and gave Li Xian a thumbs up.

"Mr. Babinov, tell me about the brigade commander. Li Xian said.
