After work, Manturov went to the cafeteria alone and ate in the same remote position as he was used to when he was single. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the first secretary of the state party committee, he no longer has to wait in line to receive food as before, but can sit in his seat like a restaurant customer and wait for the staff to bring the dinner he had previously booked by phone. When you are busy, you can also make a direct phone call to order takeout and deliver it to your place of work for a meal, which is the treatment of high-ranking cadres and privileged classes in the Soviet Union.

"Volodya, why don't you accompany your sister-in-law?" Yakov took a hot dinner and walked over to Manturov's table.

"Katyusha wants to accompany Comrade Mikhailov and cannot eat with me." Manturov stretched out his fingers to the seat on the other side of the table and said to Yakov: "Sit down." ”

Yakov put his dinner on the table and sat down nimbly. "Friend, don't you know?"

Manturov did not understand what Yakov meant, and asked: "Don't know what?" ”

"Look at the food reception area."

Manturov glanced in the direction of the dining room and found nothing. "What's going on at the food bar?"

"Volodya, it seems that your myopia has deepened, go change your glasses."

Manturov tugged at his glasses and said, "Yasha, I can even read the words on the menu in the distance, so there's no need to change my glasses." ”

Yakov smiled and said, "Why is it not necessary, you can't even recognize your own wife." ”

"What? Katyusha here? How I didn't see it. Manturov looked so confused that he didn't even see his wife.

"Isn't the woman in black stockings standing next to Mikhailov Katya Krimena? There's no way I'm wrong. ”

Manturov again looked carefully in the direction of the reception and soon found Mikhailov. Standing beside him was Katya, who was wearing a black dress and black silk. "See, Katyusha's dress today is a little unusual."

In Manturov's memory, Katya never wore stockings in front of him, but in front of Mikhailov, she actually wore this sexy gadget that is popular in Western countries.

In addition to this, Manturov also found another unusual place, the black dress that his wife was wearing was shorter than usual, revealing half of her thighs.

Yakov also felt a little strange, it was the first time he had seen a woman wearing black silk. "I also think my sister-in-law is dressed unusually, she has never worn black silk, nor has she worn such a short skirt."

"Strange, why is this happening? Every time she saw me, she was dressed tightly, why did she show off Mikhailov in sexy clothes every time she saw me? ”

"Is there a last time?" Yakov asked curiously.

"Yes, the last time was half a year ago, in a Moscow hotel. Dressed in an off-the-shoulder gown, she chatted with Comrade Mikhailov in the hotel lobby. ”

Yakov smiled lewdly and seemed interested in these things. "And then? Did they have ......"

"Nope. Then, I took Katyusha to the hotel room and did it directly with her. ”

Yakov thought for a moment and speculated: "It seems that there is something special about her relationship with Comrade Mikhailov. Good luck with that, hopefully it won't be that kind of relationship. ”

As an old friend of Yakov, Manturov knew what Yakov meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately responded, "No way, she's not that kind of woman." ”

"I don't think she's going to be that kind of woman. But it is undeniable that it is indeed a little strange that she is dressed like this today, something must have happened. ”

Manturov did not perceive the problem and asked, "What can happen?" ”

"Did you do something sorry for your sister-in-law?"

"Excuse me?" Manturov thought about it carefully, he really hadn't done anything to be sorry for Katya, "No." I was in the park yesterday, though...... Instead, it was ...... by his own temporary secretary I hugged it for a few minutes. ”

"That's how it should be. It's easy to cause misunderstandings like this, so find an opportunity to apologize to your sister-in-law. ”

"But how did she know? Did Irina tell her? ”

"Very likely." Yakov thought of himself having a similar experience, "Do you know why Anya broke up with me? It was the Polish woman named Eva who kept looking for opportunities to approach me, telling Anya that I had an intimate relationship with her, and asking Anya to break up with me. ”

"Really? Katyusha also told me about the relationship between you and Anna, but her statement is very different from yours. She said that you were seduced by a Polish beauty and there was no Anna in your heart, so you broke up. Manturov relayed.

"No way, Anya would rather believe that Polish woman than believe me, what else? Now that you have lost the trust you deserve, there is no other way but to break up. ”

Manturov didn't think Anna was a fool, and if Yakov hadn't done anything, she wouldn't have chosen to trust Eva instead of Yakov. "Why doesn't Anna believe you? You must have done something. ”

"What did I do? At the last reception of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Polish woman mixed in her own way and drugged my wine. When I got drunk, they carried me home and stayed at my house for the night.

The next day, when I woke up, she was gone. I can assure you that nothing has happened to us. ”

Manturov deduced: "Anna must have visited your apartment that night, but it was not you who opened the door for her, but Eva, so Anna believed Eva's statement. ”

Yakov took a few sips of vodka and exclaimed: "That's it. So, old friend, you must be careful of Irina the person, this is my advice to you. ”

"She's not that kind of person."

"Knowing the face and not knowing the heart, anyone's heart is immeasurable, this truth is what you told me, do you remember?"

When Manturov thought about it, he also felt that he trusted his subordinates too much. "Yes, I'll take notice. By the way, Comrade Director, help me find out Irina's background and the whereabouts of her parents. She said her father was a Red Army officer, but was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the purge. And her mother, the daughter of a kulak, was also purged. ”

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as there's a situation."

Manturov patted Yakov on the shoulder and said, "Brother, in return, I will also try to do some work on Anna and mend the relationship between you." ”

At this time, a cafeteria clerk brought Manturov's dinner. As usual, the main course was beef stew with potatoes, two pieces of white flour, a bowl of beetroot soup, a small salad, a cup of black tea made for Manturov with milk and three spoonfuls of sugar, and of course black caviar for the senior cadres.

As soon as the canteen clerk left, Yakov picked up the glass with vodka and said to his old friend, "For the sake of the woman, for Stalin, cheers!" ”

Manturov picked up the cup with the milk tea and said, "Cheers!" ”

Katia, who was sitting on the other side of the cafeteria, saw Manturov and Yakov, the "merry boy", chatting so happily, and had a sense of foreboding in her heart.
