Chapter 14: Tonya's Deal
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has landed at Sheremetyevo International Airport. www.biquge.info At 19:23 p.m. local time, the outside temperature was 11.6 degrees Celsius. The plane is taxiing, for your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up yet. Or open the luggage compartment and wait until the aircraft is fully seated before unfastening your seatbelt. Pack your belongings and get ready to get off the plane. Please pay attention to safety when picking up items from the luggage rack. If you need to transfer to another place at this station, please go to the transit locker in the waiting room to collect your baggage. Thank you for choosing Soviet International Airlines. See you next time. When Tonya Ivanova finished broadcasting this prompt, flight P-217 from Paris to Moscow was coming to an end. While colleagues were looking forward to going out for a drink with her husband or lover in the evening to relax, Tonya couldn't help but get nervous.
As the passengers left the plane one after another, the crew also left with their own luggage, and Tonya's luggage included the best-selling goods she brought from abroad, which was the reason for her nervousness.
"Tonya, do you have any plans for the evening?" Terkina is one of the colleagues in Tonya's crew, and the two of them entered the company at the same time, so they are usually very good.
"There are no other arrangements, I want to go back to Gorky in the evening, I miss my mother a little." Tonya said absentmindedly and casually.
"That's a pity, I want to ask you out for a drink, and by the way, introduce my boyfriend?" Gergina said with some disappointment.
"It's better next time, I will definitely go next time." After Tonya finished speaking, she quickened her pace, she had something on her mind, she wanted to leave this place quickly.
The crew's border hall is the same as the border hall for ordinary passengers, and although the work has not been long, Tonya has also seen many smugglers who have been caught red-handed. Tonya felt very scared, if she was caught, not only would this enviable job be gone, but she would even be imprisoned. She actually regrets it now. If he hadn't been tempted by the man he had only met once, how could he have done such a ridiculous thing? But whenever I think of those high debts, the interest alone every month is enough for my own headache, and if I don't make some extra money, I really don't know when I will be able to pay it off. This time, Tonya has already invested all the money she can get, and if she fails, she will have to give up completely.
Since this time was the busiest time at the airport, the arriving crew waited in a long line for border control, which made Tonya live like a year, she tried to take a few deep breaths to calm herself as calmly as possible, and her palms holding the suitcase trolley were already full of sweat.
"Sir, do you have any contraband or undeclared items in excess of the prescribed amount?" The border control worker at the window asked a man in front of Tonya.
"Nope." The man replied.
"Okay, please open your luggage and let us inspect it." The man was taken aside. The trunk was opened, and the things were taken out one by one for inspection. This scene made Tonya even more panicked.
"Next." The border control worker at the window said to Tonya.
Tonya hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the documents she had already prepared from the window.
"Comrade Tonya-Ivanova?" The staff asked.
"Yes~~, yes." Tonya replied nervously.
"Did you bring any contraband or undeclared items in excess of the prescribed amount?" The staff stared at Tonya and asked solemnly.
"No~~, no." Tonya was on the verge of collapse.
"Okay, you can leave, next." A command from the staff made Tonya completely let go of her hanging heart, and she was almost crying.
Tonya was just about to leave, when suddenly the voice came again: "Wait a minute, Comrade Tonya-Ivanova. ”
Tonya couldn't take it anymore, she turned around and was ready to turn herself in.
"You forgot your papers, Comrade Tonya-Ivanova."
Tonya hurriedly hid her panicked expression and said, "Thank you!" Then she took her papers and shoved them into her pocket, and strode away without looking back, not wanting to stay here for a minute.
In a public phone booth outside the airport, Tonya pulled out her address book, found Seryosha's phone and dialed it. After a while, the phone was connected.
"Hello, is this Mr. Seryosha, I'm Tonya. I've already brought out the things, I'll take the night bus tonight, back to Gorky City, can you come to the station to pick me up, I want to hand over the things to you in person. Tonya said.
"Okay, no problem, what time will you arrive, I'll wait for you at the station in advance." Seryosha replied.
In the cold wind at 12 o'clock in the night, Seryosha finally waited for Tonya, who had just returned. He put Tonya's luggage in the car and drove Tonya home, on the way Seryosha asked, "What did you bring back?" ”
"I don't know what to sell, so I bring a little bit of everything." Tonya replied.
"When are you leaving? I think I'll probably be able to sell this shipment then. Seryosha continued.
"Three days from now." Tonya said.
。。。
Three days later, Tonya waited for Seryosha in the park with great anticipation, and in order to celebrate, she also dressed up today. Half an hour after the appointed time, Tonya waited for Seryosha, who was late.
"I'm sorry, there was some accident on the way, and it was delayed." Seryosha explained. Then he took out an envelope from his clothes and handed it to Tonya, and continued: "This is your share, it's all in it, you check it." ”
Tonya looked at the thin envelope, the indescribable disappointment in her heart, how much money can this have, a few hundred rubles, and she can't even get the capital back, Tonya felt that she had been deceived, she fiercely put the envelope on Seryosha's face, and said angrily: "You liar, you cheated me out of my money, how much do you think I spent on these things, it's a thousand rubles, that's all my money, God, how can I trust people like you... As she spoke, Tonya began to weep.
Seryosha was a little confused, and he retorted: "Tonya, I didn't lie to you! ”
"You didn't lie to me, how much money can be in this thin envelope, three hundred rubles, five hundred rubles? You won't tell me that there are a thousand rubles in it. Tonya sarcastically.
"Tonya, I think you're completely misunderstood, you better open it and take a look." Seryosha said with a smile.
Tonya opened the envelope, and inside it was a deposit slip for 5,000 rubles.
"There are too many people in the bank today, so it's delayed!" Seryosha explained.
Tonya looked embarrassed.
