Chapter 121: Give Some Faith

"Vladimir Fedorovich. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Veronica Ustnova called Manturov's name and patronymic, "I really envy you. ”

From Veronica's tone, Manturov heard a little bit of overtone. She said it was envy, but in fact she was jealous. Such an ambitious woman who climbed to the position of the second secretary of the municipal party committee at a young age is not willing to be stepped on by people with similar education and age.

"What do you envy me?" Manturov took a sip of kvas, his eyes watching his opponent's every move.

Veronica lowered her head, as if she was really unwilling. "You became the secretary of the state party committee at a young age, and you were also promoted to the first deputy people's commissar for construction. And I, although I am about the same age as you, no matter how hard I work, how good my academic performance is, and how good my work performance is, I can only be the second secretary of the municipal party committee in a small city. ”

The woman's words exposed her ambition. This young woman, with the characteristics of high education, good looks, and high position, has almost crushed all women of the same age.

But human beings are animals that are not easily satisfied. When I became the secretary of the municipal party committee, I wanted to be the secretary of the state party committee, and when I became the secretary of the state party committee, I wanted to be the secretary of the Central Committee.........

Only when you fail, suffer setbacks, and have no room and ability to improve, will you know how to cherish and be satisfied. But so far, the young Veronica still has a lot of youth, and her work seems to be doing well, at least for the city of Tyumen to win oil development projects.

In the history that we are familiar with, the Tyumen oil fields (the oil-producing area in the middle reaches of the Ob River, discovered by Manturov, were part of the Tyumen oil fields) were discovered only in 1948. It is a super oil-producing area with a huge area and extremely rich oil resources, and is the second largest super oil field in the world, second only to the oil-producing area of the Middle East.

In the original plan, Manturov, who had first "discovered" the oil-producing area, planned to develop this oil field with Novosibirsk as the center. Changing the history of the oil fields centered on Tyumen turned Novosibirsk Oblast into the refining center of Siberia.

But unfortunately, since experts have discovered more oil resources in the oil-producing areas close to Tyumen, and Veronica is still in the meeting on the same day, the plan of the Ministry of Petroleum to develop the Tyumen oil refining center, history will still go in the original direction.

At that time, the population of Tyumen will rise significantly, and the local economic situation and development will improve significantly. With the achievement of winning the oil project, Veronica will definitely have a chance to be promoted in the future.

If there are no accidents, it is estimated that she can be promoted to the first secretary of the Tyumen City Party Committee, and even enter the Omsk Oblast Party Committee and work in the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.

But now, the Great Purge has passed, and promotion is not as easy as it used to be. I think that back then, Manturov was promoted from the first secretary of the state committee of the Communist Youth League to the secretary of the state party committee all of a sudden, but it was because of the purge that the original secretary of the state party committee, Ekh, and the entire state party committee, were purged, and Manturov had the opportunity to rise to the position of first secretary of the state party committee.

And now it is different, the purge has passed, and the secretaries of the state party committees and the secretaries of the regional party committees are sitting firmly. Normally, Veronica, the second secretary of the municipal party committee, has to mix for three or five or seven years, until someone above retires or is transferred, so that she can be promoted and replace the vacancy.

In addition to the Great Purge, the split of the central departments and the creation of new departments have created many vacancies. Of course, these positions are reserved only for the secretary of the state party committee, or for people at the level of people's commissars. Very little Veronica, the second secretary of the municipal party committee.

Unlike Veronica, Manturov seized the opportunity of 1939, at the height of the reorganization of the department, and was nominated to the newly established Ministry of Construction as the first deputy People's Commissar of Construction.

And by 1946, this huge Ministry of Construction would also be split. The new department that was spun off was also under the control of the former Minister of Construction and Vice Minister.

If nothing else, if Manturov had been able to sit in the position of First People's Commissar and survive until 1946, he would most likely have become the head of the newly split department, which, of course, was only the worst-case scenario.

"Comrade Ustnova, you are already the second secretary of the city party committee, and your position is higher than that of the vast majority of people. As long as you do your duty well and work wholeheartedly for the party and the people, it will be a matter of time before you become the secretary of the state party committee. Manturov, in a kind of senior tone, tried to reduce the ambition of a woman.

"But compared to you...... Veronica seemed a little reluctant as she took a sip of half a glass of red wine, "what am I worth?" At a young age, you received the titles of Hero of Socialist Labor and Hero of the Soviet Union, awarded the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Golden Star. ”

"Why compare yourself to me? Compared to others, you are already very successful. ”

Veronica looked at Manturov's mature and young face and said, "Because you are capable, worthy of our learning, and our goal." ”

"Really?" Manturov had no intention of admitting his abilities. "I don't have much ability, the only thing I have to learn is to be loyal to the party and the people, and have a heart to serve the party and the people."

"I also have this heart, and I will do my best in everything I do, and bring my mind to it. But in any case, I can't do better than others in many ways. ”

"No, you behaved well and were confident when you had a meeting just now." Manturov tried to get Veronica to remember something good.

"No, you don't understand." Veronica shook her hand and said, "Work is secondary. ”

Manturov realized the complexity of a woman's heart. Such a career-oriented woman just showed her unwillingness to be too low in her position, and now she says that work is not important? "So what's important?"

"For every woman, appearance is the most important thing."

Manturov looked up and down at the blonde, blue-eyed, tall beauty in front of him. She has a face with delicate features and a beautiful contour, a pair of large, beautifully curved breasts, and a pair of long, snow-white legs. Such a beauty still thinks that her appearance is not good enough, so how can she be considered a beauty?

"Comrade Ustnova, you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, and you have surpassed most women in terms of appearance, what are you not satisfied with?"

"Comrade Black Rose, have you heard of it? She is the school flower of Moscow State University, and no matter how I dress, I will never be able to compare to her. She always dresses more tastefully than me, and she feels better than me when she comes out. ”

Black roses? The school flower of Moscow State University, isn't this Katia?

Indeed, when it comes to dressing up, Katia does have her own set. She is a person who travels through the past from the 21st century, dresses more fashionably, and likes to wear short skirts that were originally popular in the 60s, revealing fair-skinned beautiful legs with perfect lines. On her head, she also wears a representative black rose hairpin, which is sexy and elegant at the same time.

In terms of temperament, she was born in the "red aristocracy", and she has a special nobility, and at the same time inherits her father's strong spirit as a soldier, which is both noble and strong.

Veronica felt a little different, she wore a dress that was shorter than Katia's, and her two fair legs were exposed, attracting the attention of men. The upper part of the skirt is also relatively tight, creating a beautiful, sexy line, and at the same time highlighting the curve of the ball, which looks very sexy and charming.

In terms of temperament, Veronica, a strong woman, always exudes a unique charm of a strong woman. She has high ability, high position, good looks, and is more attractive to men. Coupled with blonde hair and beautiful, jasper-like eyes, countless men fell in love with it.

These two women have their own characteristics, and it is really difficult to compare. If you have to compare, Katia, who has more delicate facial features and smoother skin, has a slight advantage in terms of appearance, but in terms of figure, it is really difficult to compare, Katia has longer legs, but Veronica has a little more chest.

In short, both women are rare peerless beauties, and Veronica, as one of them, is still dissatisfied with her appearance, which is very puzzling.

"I've seen her, and she's really beautiful. But you are more charismatic and more capable. Also, you're really beautiful dressed today. Manturov glanced around and said, "How many pairs of eyes do you see looking at you?" ”

Veronica smiled wryly, "Beauty? You're not praising me. ”

"Then who do you think I'm complimenting me?"

"You are praising the Black Rose, that is, Comrade Katya Klimena Voroshilova." Veronica poured her own north full of red wine and said, "I learned from her how to dress and dress today." She likes to wear short skirts and show off her legs, so I wear shorter than her, which really attracts the attention of more men. ”

At that time, neither in the Soviet Union nor in the Western world did not have the habit of wearing short skirts. At that time, skirts and skirts were relatively long, as well as knee skirts or long skirts. With the exception of Katya, no one has ever seen or worn a modern standard skirt.

Before the crossing, Katya, who was used to wearing short skirts and hot pants, was not used to this kind of clothing that was mainly knee skirts, so she went to Leningrad to find a master to order a set of skirts with a short hem, which just exposed her knees.

As a result, she, who was originally a university flower, immediately attracted a trend at Moscow State University. People wore skirts with shorter hems, which attracted the attention of men. Veronica took this to the extreme, "inventing" the miniskirt.

"Comrade Ustnova, you can't say that. You are beautiful in your own right, and no matter how you dress up, you look attractive. At least that's what I think, trust my eyes and give yourself some confidence. ”

Veronica thought for a moment and said, "Really? ”

"Really."

"Really? There have been many men who have complimented me like this, but I don't think they mean it. Am I really that beautiful? ”

"You're so beautiful. This is what I mean from the truth, I never lie to my comrades. ”

Veronica picked up her glass and said, "Well, I trust you, toast to Stalin!" ”
