Chapter Twenty-Six: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

"Comrade Black Rose!"

In the evening, in the cadre cafeteria, as soon as Kirill saw Katya, he called out her nickname "Black Rose". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Katia judged the other person's identity from the voice. When he was in college, Kirill would go to Moscow State University from time to time to flirt with his sister, and he was a notoriously suave and high-ranking cadre.

Back then, Katya, the "black rose" of Moscow State University, was also "cared for" by Kirill. So I was very impressed with this man. The result? Did Kirill get his way? No!

In the beginning, the two of them were friends. But later, when Katia learned of the man's true intentions from Anna, she unilaterally announced the breakoff of friendship. Finally, on a romantic evening, Kirill is scolded by Katia and stabbed by this thorny black rose.

And Anna, a beautiful woman, although she also studied at Moscow State University, had long since learned from others about the existence of Kirill, a frequent visitor to the flirtatious girl, so she was never fooled, and finally told her new acquaintance Katia about Kirill.

"! How did this playboy end up here? Katia thought to herself.

She pretended not to hear and sat in her place as if nothing had happened, waiting for Manturov to arrive. But he never imagined that Manturov and Kirill were "in the same group".

Manturov walked with Kirill to Katia and introduced his wife to Kirill: "Kirill, this is my wife, her name is Katya. ”

"Katia, Comrade Black Rose, it's a pleasure to see you again." Kirill said.

Katia snorted and said angrily, "Kirill is it?" I don't want to see you again. Back then, you knew what you did to me. ”

"Me? I just wanted to make friends with you, but you finally announced that you unilaterally broke off the relationship, and it wasn't me who was at fault. ”

"Then why did you make me this friend back then? Who are Natasha, Lina, and Lana? What is your purpose in approaching them? ”

If you're smart, you've probably guessed the identities of Natasha, An Lina, and Lana. At that time, they were all students at Moscow State University, and they were all soaked in Kirill. In the end, he chose Lana and has never been in another woman since.

Kirill leaned down slightly and explained, "Yes, I admit that I made friends with you back then. Now, I've found the woman I want and I'm married. And you, too, are married to Vera, my good friend. The past between us doesn't mean anything anymore. ”

Katia sneered and scolded coldly: "The ghost believes you!" You're a suave playboy who often switches tastes. What if you get married? You're going to hook up with other women anyway! ”

"No, Katya. I swear that I will only love Lana in my life and will never hook up with other women again. ”

Katia suddenly changed her face and smiled, "Okay." Actually, I already knew about your marriage to Lana. Before coming to Siberia, I had dinner with Lana, and she mentioned you to me, saying that you have changed a lot over the years and that you have become a good man who cares about his family. ”

"Sister-in-law, you complimented me. I'm not a good family man, and for work, I can leave Moscow, leave Lana, and come here in Novosibirsk to work on new apartments. Today, your husband came to inspect the construction site, and the two of us hit it off at first sight. ”

"You knew Volodya before?"

Kirill sat down and gushed, "Yes, we were college classmates. They all graduated from Bowman High School. But I don't know why, your husband is very good at studying, and it only took him more than half a year to complete all the college courses and get a bachelor's degree.

At that time, he was already the secretary of the Communist Youth League of the university, and he was transferred to Novosibirsk by the organization, and I never knew what happened after that.

Just three months ago, I was transferred here to participate in the construction of a new apartment, and I learned from local comrades that Volodya had become the secretary of the state party committee. I also know about your marriage to her. But Vera has such a high position, I don't want to disturb his work, so I never took the initiative to look for him, until today, when he came to inspect the construction site, I recognized him at a glance. ”

"Really? It seems that you have surrendered. ”

"Is it just a deed?"

At this time, Manturov, who was ignored by the two, finally spoke. He lifted his glasses, made this signature gesture that felt familiar to both of them, and said, "You two, I'll take the meal, and you two will talk slowly." ”

"Vorodya, are you jealous? Don't think I don't know you want to go away under the pretext of 'getting a meal', and don't want to hear about the past between me and Kirill. Katia said mischievously.

"Katyusha, don't be naughty."

"Okay, you go get your meal. I'll eat whatever you eat, whatever you want. ”

Kirill also stood up and said to Katya, "All right, I'll go with him to get the meal." ”

As soon as the two walked away, Kirill asked Manturov, "Viradimore, how did you get the black rose?" She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met, but her black rose was thorny. Many men with conditions wanted to soak her, but in the end they were stabbed by her. When you were in love with her, were you stabbed by a rose? ”

Manturov smiled and replied, "She didn't stab me." She was very nice to me, we both fell in love at first sight, and the next day we slept in the same bed, and she pushed me down. On the third day, we got married. ”

Kirill was very curious and eager to know the reasons, so he hurriedly asked, "How did you do it?" I don't believe you'll be able to sleep with her the next day. ”

"Then don't believe it. The process is not important, the result is important. Anyway, I'm married to her now, and we're both living happily ever after. ”

"Okay, then I won't ask. You, you married the most beautiful woman, and became the first secretary of the state party committee at a young age, which is really enviable. ”

Manturov said in a half-instructive tone: "Man is better than man, more than dead." As long as you do your duty, don't compare other people's sisters with yourself, let alone compare other people's status with yourself, otherwise your life will only be spent in pain and dissatisfaction. ”

It is true that Manturov is superior to Kirill as a playboy in terms of appearance, status, and character, but in the future, Manturov may have to face some rivals who are stronger than him.

"You're a successful person, and no one can be better than you, of course."

"Where? There are many people who are better than me. ”

At this time, Anna hurriedly came over and said to Manturov: "Comrade Secretary, I have just received information from Moscow that Comrade Lazar Kaganovich, People's Commissar of Heavy Industry and Secretary of the Central Committee and Member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, will come to Novosibirsk tomorrow. He was followed by Comrade People's Commissar of the Defense Industry, Comrade Mikhail Kaganovich, please get ready. ”

"Please inform all party and government organizations, as well as the 179 plant, the 153 plant, the Novosibirsk Metallurgical Plant and other enterprises to be ready, and must not lose face in front of Comrade Kaganovich."

"Okay, I'll let you know."
