Chapter 7 Hurry up
(It's not easy to get a new book, ask for a recommendation vote)
It was a clear morning, the sky was cloudless, and the sun had just come out to add a touch of warmth to the bitterly cold Siberian tundra. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info cloudless sky, so blue that it couldn't be more blue. There was only a curved white line left behind by the Il-16 fighter in the sky when it flew test, like a smiling mouth, which made people feel pleasant.
Although the snow has stopped and the sun has come out, people on the streets still have to wear thick winter clothes to withstand the weather of minus ten degrees. This is the Siberian winter, don't be fooled by the superficial sunny weather!
In front of the administration building of the Novosibirsk region, a special Gas-M1 was parked. This is a car made in the Soviet Union and widely used by Soviet cadres. But what is special is that the shell of this car is made of titanium. The silver body adds an epoch-making atmosphere to this ordinary-looking, "classic car" produced in 1937.
Sitting in the car was none other than the secretary of the state party committee, Manturov. It was half past eight in the morning, and it was the time for Soviet civil servants to go to work. Most of them have gone to work and have begun to do their part to serve the people.
But Manturov's secretary, Anna, never appeared. It was only half an hour later that Manturov saw her charming figure, slowly walking from a distance in the direction of Lenin Square, along the Red Boulevard.
Secretary Man waited impatiently, he started the engine of the car and drove directly to Anna.
He opened the window, and the cold air drifted in from outside, making people feel piercing. The air that flew into it was mixed with a faint smell of perfume, apparently emanating from Anna.
Braving the bitter cold, in a half-instructive tone, he said to Anna: "Comrade Romanova, you are half an hour late. ”
Hearing Secretary Man's voice, Anna hurriedly walked to the front of the car, through the window, and apologized to Manturov: "I'm sorry, there was an accident just now, that's why I ......"
"What accident?"
"My alarm clock was broken, and I couldn't get up on time."
The alarm clock is broken and you can't get out of bed, which is a reasonable and forgivable reason. Just as Manturov was about to spare Anna, he found another reason for being late from Anna's dress.
"What time do you wake up?" Manturov coldly asked a tentative question.
"About half-past seven."
From Anna's answer, Manturov knew that his guess was correct, "Needless to say, you just spent almost an hour tidying up your appearance. Did I guess right? ”
Anna's face suddenly turned as red as a red apple, and she lowered her head and said, "That's right. For women, grooming is the most important thing. Otherwise, how can I meet people? ”
Manturov continued to launch a problem offensive without mercy, "Who are you going to meet?" ”
"It's the same for everyone. Your grooming is the most important, otherwise what if you are laughed at? ”
I don't know who said that "women are the most troublesome animals in the world", and Manturov didn't believe it at the beginning. But now, he finally believed.
If you continue to ask questions and theories, it is meaningless, because there is still a gender generation gap between the two of them. "I don't want to see you late again! The alarm clock is broken, can't you just buy two? One is broken, and the other is topped. If you're not at ease, buy three! ”
"Oh, you're right. Wouldn't it be enough to use two alarm clocks? ”
"Get in the car."
Anna opened the car door, sat in the car slowly, closed the door, and asked, "Comrade Secretary, where are we going?" ”
"Go to Novosibirsk State Technical University." With that, Manturov couldn't wait to twist the steering wheel to the far left. Before Anna could react, he stepped on the gas pedal hard and made a sharp turn.
The sudden U-turn suddenly shifted Anna's center of gravity to the right. Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise her beautiful head would have hit the car window and be hit by the head.
"National Technical University? Is it the new one? Anna asked politely as she returned to her seat, holding back her displeasure.
Manturov stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly accelerated on the eight-lane red boulevard, like an airplane about to take off, sliding quickly on the wide runway. "That's right, it was opened only last year, at the junction of the Lenin and Kirov districts, dedicated to the training of engineering and technical personnel for the great country, and was founded at my suggestion and with the approval of the Council of Supreme Ministers."
Originally, the top technical university in Russia should have appeared only in 1950. But three years earlier, at the covert impetus of Manturov, the first secretary of the state Komsomol, the university had already been put into operation in 1937.
"Can your proposal go to the highest meeting? No wonder you rose through the ranks so quickly. ”
"Anyway, just do your duty and serve the people with all your heart. This is my principle of doing things. Manturov said in a serious manner.
"You have a point, and I'll remember you."
Manturov suddenly coughed, opened the window, and said to Anna in the back seat: "Anna, your perfume!" It just smells terrible. ”
Anna inhaled vigorously, sniffed carefully, and said, "My perfume is imported from France, produced by the famous Chanel company, how can it smell bad?" Isn't it fragrant? ”
Manturov grew up with a bit of nasal sensitivity and constantly sneezed as soon as he smelled these "sharp" smells. "No, it smells bad! If it goes on like this, my nose will be burned by your perfume. Also, How did you get your Chanel perfume? Do you sell them in Moscow? ”
"It's a secret."
……
After more than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a new red building.
"We're here." After saying that, Manturov, who is a "special emergency", immediately got out of the car. Walk at the entrance of the building at the pace of the "emergency race".
Only then did Anna open the car door and slowly get out of the car. She glanced around, only to see that Manturov was already standing in front of the gate, crossed, waiting impatiently for her.
"Can't you just hurry?"
"It's coming!"
After hearing Secretary Man's words, Anna ran forward as fast as she could. But Anna overlooked an important fact - she was wearing a pair of high heels! If you run like this, you can easily lose your balance, and if you don't fall, you can sprain.
Sure enough, after running a few steps, Anna suddenly lost her balance and threw herself forward. Fortunately, Manturov, who was like a god, discovered the hidden danger in time.
When Anna was about to pounce on the ground, the agile Manturov rushed forward in time and hugged Anna with his strong hands to avoid an accident.
However, this hug was seen by Katia, who came to inspect. She sighed coldly, her heart full of cursed words for Manturov.
"Anna, are you alright?"
Anna came back to her senses, looked at Manturov's slightly handsome face, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Manturov hurriedly let go of his hand and said in a rare gentle tone: "With a distance of about ten meters, do you need to run?" I didn't say I wouldn't wait for you. ”
"Comrade Secretary, you were in such a hurry just now, can I not run?"
"Well, this time it's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed you so much. But you, too, need to increase the speed of action, understand? Soviet society is all about efficiency, you put on makeup, and the next car is slower than others, how can you go on like this? ”
"Understood." Only then did Anna remember a very important question to ask, "Comrade Manturov, what are we here for?" ”
"I'm going to talk to Professor Kozrov about steelmaking."
Anna's face was full of confusion, "Steelmaking? ”
"I 'came up' with a steelmaking technique before, but I didn't know if it would work, so I asked Professor Kozrov for some advice. If it succeeds, it is believed that it can greatly increase the steel production of the Soviet Union, and it is no longer a dream to surpass the United States and abandon Britain. ”
