134 Awkward request

Katya, who has been working in Moscow for a month, has already begun to face increasing pressure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

These pressures come from some colleagues who look down on them, from some friends who ask for their help, and of course, at most, part of it comes from themselves.

Her family background has long been known, almost everyone in Moscow knows that she is the daughter of Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, Minister of Defense and Politburo member, and her husband and wife relationship with Manturov are also very popular. makes people think that she relies on her father and husband to get her current position.

Although the plan to build the apartment proved her strength to a certain extent, since the apartment was invented by her husband, those who did not know even thought that it was only Manturov's idea, and questioned Katia's dependence on her husband's guidance, although this statement was not entirely wrong.

In addition to the pressure from the cadres, Katia also had to face pressure from her friends. Since taking office as the second secretary of the municipal party committee, she has received a large number of letters from friends and made many embarrassing requests.

These requests include arranging better positions, better housing, and better working conditions for the senders, and even requests for investigation and purging of designated cadres.

Although Katya is the second secretary of the municipal party committee, these personnel arrangements and housing arrangements are not the scope of her management, she is mainly in charge of "soft" affairs such as culture, propaganda, education, youth, and women, while the first secretary of the party, personnel, and government administration is mainly in charge of the first secretary Shcherbakov.

Since the personnel power was in Shcherbakov's hands, it was not convenient for Katia to investigate the designated bureaucrats, and the situation would only be reflected if there was sufficient evidence to prove that there were problems with those bureaucrats.

In addition, Katia's work in charge of her has caused all kinds of troubles for herself, putting her in an awkward situation.

The political atmosphere in Moscow is complex, the composition of the personnel is quite complex, and there have even been some small-scale internal struggles, which have slowed down the efficiency and cohesion of the government and party organizations.

But in the Novosibirsk region under Manturov, the situation is very different. In terms of cohesion, governance and efficiency, the level of Novosibirsk Oblast is far behind that of other oblasts. Because they have a leader who can unite everyone, a leader who leads by example, who sets a good example, who has extraordinary abilities, who can hand over achievements, and who makes people sincerely obey.

Under his leadership, coupled with proper propaganda and one impressive achievement after another, the cadres of the Novosibirsk region worked together and united to work hard for the well-being of the people and the good of the country.

Katia, however, faces a completely different situation. Although she leads by example, works hard, and has also made certain achievements in the cultural and educational fields she manages, the voice against her is still there. Because she is not strong enough, she does not have enough power in her hands, and she has never done anything enough to impress others with her.

And her husband Manturov, before he became the secretary of the state party committee, defeated Ekh, who presided over the purge of Western Siberia, indirectly killed Yezhov soon after taking office, and later purged the city party committee of Tomsk. These actions have established a strong image, and no one dares to have any opinion on Manturov.

Even after being transferred to the People's Commissariat for Construction, Manturov relied on his track record to gain the trust and support of everyone. While the political climate in Moscow is complicated, the situation with the Ministry of Construction seems to be a little different.

Because in the Ministry of Construction, most of the leaders are engineers. They have low political ambitions, are a bunch of machines that carry out construction tasks according to the requirements of the above, and are easily influenced by government propaganda. Their goal is simple, that is, to do their duty well, to complete the work at hand, and to fight for the construction of the country.

For the above decisions (including personnel decisions), almost all of them adopt an attitude of complete obedience and full cooperation, and try their best to do a good job of corresponding cooperation measures in accordance with the above meaning.

Standing in front of the window of his new home, watching the night on Tver Street, with anticipation for marriage, for his future life, and for his career, Manturov couldn't help but sing "Night on the outskirts of Moscow", which he often sang to Katya before the time.

"Late at night in the garden, all around quiet.

The leaves no longer rustle.

How beautiful the night is, I am fascinated.

In this enchanting evening.

The creek flows quietly, with slight waves.

The moon shines silver on the water.

I could hear it faintly, someone singing softly.

What a secluded night.

My sweetheart, sit next to me.

Secretly looked at me, silent.

I want to speak, but I don't know how.

How many words remain in my heart.

The long night was fast by, and the sky was dark.

Best wishes from the bottom of my heart, good girl.

I hope that from now on, you and I will never forget.

Evening on the outskirts of Moscow. ”

As the lyrics say, Manturov's sweetheart did secretly watch him from behind. The tall, neat back, illuminated by the moonlight, exudes a gentlemanly temperament. Coupled with the tender singing and dim lighting, the whole apartment is full of romantic mood.

"Volodya," Katya hugged her man from behind, and the plump part pressed tightly against the man's back, causing Manturov to go numb and be caught off guard.

"Katyusha!" Manturov's heart was hot, and he was still thinking about the future in his heart, but under the sudden stimulation, he seemed to have forgotten everything.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be happy lately, is it caused by work stress? Manturov regained his senses and tried to enlighten his wife, who was plagued by chores.

"Yes, Volodya, the pressure is great."

"What pressure, can I help you?" Manturov pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating to a point, and his tone was a little panting.

Katia did not answer the question, but moved her hand to Manturov's collar and unbuttoned it.

"What are you going to do?" Manturov tried to suppress the strong desire, because he did not have any protective equipment and could easily get into trouble.

He turned around and said to Katya: "Katyusha, I'm not ready, wait for the end of the Great Patriotic War, and then think about life." ”

Katia's eyes were filled with heat. This fire, through eye contact, spread to Manturov's body, constantly challenging the bottom line of his will.
