Chapter Thirty-Eight: Katia's Question
"Yuri, I believe you came to me for the Katyusha and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info," Manturov said to Yuri Andropov, who had just come in.
"Since you've guessed it, I'll get straight to the point. Yesterday, Comrade Osinov came to me and invited me to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that this is in line with your wishes, is this true? ”
Manturov crossed his hands and said, "Really, I think you are very suitable for the work of suppressing the rebellion, and it just so happens that the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs manpower, so I recommended you." ”
"Thank you for the recommendation, but ...... Comrade Manturov, I really feel that I am not fit to work in the field of suppression. ”
Manturov, of course, did not accept the other party's reasoning. In the history he knew, the young man in front of him would become the chairman of the KGB, and he was also one of the KGB chairmen who was best evaluated by posterity. How can such anti-rebel talents say that they are not suitable for anti-rebellion work?
"Yuri, I know what you're worried about. You don't have any experience in anti-rebellion work, and you don't want to wronged good people, do you? But experience can be accumulated, as long as you work hard and investigate every case clearly, you will definitely not wronged anyone.
You are a serious and efficient person, and you have strict requirements for yourself and others, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is now lacking a talent like you. ”
"I understand, maybe I can really do a good job of suppressing rebellion in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there is another problem."
"What's the problem? Don't you feel comfortable handing over the work in the Komsomol to Katia? ”
"Yes, I know about your relationship with Katia Krimena, but I'd like to tell you about her work."
Manturov sat up straight and made an open-minded appearance, "Say, I am a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and if Katyusha does have problems at work, I, as the secretary of the state party committee, will give her due warning and punishment." ”
"Then I said it."
"Say it."
Although Manturov had already indicated that he would listen, Andropov was still reluctant to speak. He hesitated for a while, then plucked up the courage to say, "Then I'll start talking." Although Katia is organized and efficient, she has no sense of time and no leadership skills. ”
"Compared to others, Katyusha already has a good sense of time. I have the impression that she shouldn't be late much, and she won't be late for more than 10 minutes each time, am I wrong? ”
"Yes, her tardiness is not serious. But as a leader, even if she is late once, a second late, it is unacceptable. In this case, it will leave a bad example for the comrades below, and then people will follow the same example, and more and more people will be late, and the whole department will no longer have to operate. ”
"I agree with that, so I'm never late, because I don't want to be a bad example for the people down there. But I don't think Katia has a big problem, she's also a person with a lot of time, and I think she should know how to do it. She's an organized and efficient person, so I'm sure she's not a big problem.
From what I know of her, she is a person who takes her mistakes seriously, and she should never be late in the last month or two. ”
Of course, the concept of time is not a strong reason, and Andropov will not conclude that Katia is not suitable to lead the Komsomol because of this alone.
"Comrade Manturov, you are right, she really has no problems with the concept of time for the past two months, but...... Her problems don't end there. ”
"Yuri, Katyusha still has any problems at work, you can tell me quickly."
"Villadimo Fedorovich, you are right, she is organized, efficient, a good cadre, but not a good leader. In my opinion, as a leader, you should have good communication skills, but Katia is not a good communicator, and every time she talks to me or other gay men, she always stutters a little bit, and it is difficult to communicate effectively.
Moreover, she almost doesn't smile all day long, and she always makes a cold and arrogant appearance in front of others, which makes people feel that they are not easy to get close to. ”
Hearing Andropov's comments, Manturov also felt that she had these problems.
"Is the problem serious?" Manturov asked.
"It's a bit serious. You can ask other Komsomol cadres for more specific information. They never dared to ask Katia about her personal affairs, and Katia was reluctant to share them. As a result, the entire Komsomol thought that she had no friends, and not many knew that she was your wife, although she had changed her surname. ”
"That's right. I'll talk to her about these issues. In addition, you can also go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a few days first, give Katya the work in the Komsomol and let her try, and if it doesn't work out, I will replace her. ”
Speaking of which, Andropov also had to make concessions. Although he was reluctant to hand over the work of the Komsomol to Katia, he couldn't even give him a chance to try.
"Alright then, it wouldn't hurt to let her try. Let's hope nothing happens. ”
"Don't worry, I know Katyusha, and I believe that she will definitely be able to do a good job in the work of the Communist Youth League."
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
Manturov was puzzled, in his impression, Katya was a person with good communication skills, but in Andropov's mouth, how did she become a person who was not good at communicating?
Andropov had just left when Anna, who was eavesdropping outside, walked in. Seeing Manturov's puzzled expression, Anna hurriedly gave an answer to the question in Manturov's heart.
"Comrade Secretary, in fact, Katia has hardly touched any men for so many years, so she doesn't know how to communicate with men. In addition, the reason why she pretends to be cold and arrogant and not easy to get close to is to prevent men from accosting her......"
Manturov raised his head and said, "Why doesn't she touch men and doesn't want to talk to other men?" Is it because of me? ”
"Yes. I see that you speak fluently with other women, and you are willing to talk to women, and there are no communication problems at all, I think you should have soaked in many women over the years. ”
"Don't talk nonsense. This was trained when I was working in the Komsomol and not by picking up girls. I only have Katyusha in my heart, and I have never done anything to be sorry for her. ”
"If only Yakov could learn half of you."
"Bell bell bell! Bell bell bell! The phone on the desk rang.
Manturov took the phone and politely said to the person on the phone: "I'm Villadimo Manturov, how can I help you?" ”
A familiar female voice came from the phone, "Comrade Manturov, I am Maria, we met before in the Novosibirsk Regional Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, do you remember me?" ”
"Is it Maria Borisovna? How can we help you? ”
"It's me. So, my father has just come out of the Gula camp and wants to come to the state government and tell you something. Is it convenient for you? ”
"Convenient, he can come over at any time."
