"You want to tell me, Andrey. Comrade Petrovich intends to take on the donation of 5000 rubles by himself, and then you guys believe it? Dzerzhinsky's face was as expressionless as ever, but it could be heard from the slight change in tone that Steel Felix thought the news was unreliable.

"Yes, Felix. Comrade Edmundovich," Molotov also knew that the news was hard to believe, and that it would not be good for Dzerzhinsky to mistakenly think that he was slacking off, and he hastened to explain: "Last night, Andrei had already donated the first five hundred roubles, and he said that the rest would be paid this morning. ”

Five hundred rubles is a lot, so the face of Steel Felix looked a little better, and he nodded and asked: "That is, Comrade Andrei will also bear the share of 4500 rubles?" ”

Molotov wanted to say no, although Li Xiaofeng paid the money very happily yesterday and gave real money, but the future foreign minister still didn't have much confidence, if Li Xiaofeng couldn't get the money, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the steel Felix to explain. At that time, he was inevitably passive, and it was uncomfortable to be deducted from a hat that did not work hard. So he simply acquiesced to Dzerzhinsky's inquiry.

However, Molotov still underestimated Dzerzhinsky too much, and the man in the iron mask continued to ask: "So, Comrade Vyacheslav Mikhailovich, excluding Comrade Andrei's generosity, how much money have you raised?" ”

Molotov was a little embarrassed and said: "The comrades in Petrograd are not rich, and I did a lot of work with Comrade Gayulauv, and only four thousand seven hundred rubles were raised. ”

Well, Molotov lied again, in fact he only raised 4200 rubles, and he counted Li Xiaofeng's first donation.

4700 rubles!

Dzerzhinsky was very dissatisfied with this figure, and now the work in the country is in ruins, and there is an urgent need for funds, not only for the republication of Pravda, but also for comrades who have been exiled in Siberia and who have taken refuge abroad, and even more so for the daily activities of the party. Not to mention 4,200 rubles, that is, the task he gave to Molotov - 10,000 rubles is just a drop in the bucket!

Of course, Dzerzhinsky did not criticize Molotov, and of course he knew that fundraising was not easy, and that most of the members of the party were professional revolutionaries, completely incapable of governing industry, and most of them were penniless poor people. Other poor workers and peasants, as well as small craftsmen, could not afford any money. It was not easy to raise 4,700 rubles, and at this time it was pointless to blame Molotov, and now he could only put his hope on that little guy.

Dzerzhinsky secretly thought that he hoped that the other party could create a miracle again!

Of course, Li Xiaofeng didn't know that he had been given so much hope by Dzerzhinsky, and at this moment, these two goods were also tired. He still thinks too highly of himself, thinking that there is a cornucopia, and getting some gold is not a piece of cake. But soon he found out that this work was not easy, he was in a state of full cultivation all night, converting all the more than fifty points of immortal power he absorbed per hour into gold bars, and he was in this simple mechanical labor for ten hours, tired like a dog.

In fact, this is also to blame himself, who let him squander the fairy power during the day, if he doesn't buy those cool motorcycles and clothes, it is estimated that it will be a lot easier. Of course, this night's cultivation was not without benefits, at least it made his upgrade experience grow by more than ten points, from the original 555 to 567, which can be regarded as a step closer to the 6th level of cultivation.

Rao is like this, his current face is also very ugly, with two dark circles under his eyes, there is no trace of fairy demeanor at all, and he looks like he is overindulgent. …,

"Andrey. Comrade Petrovich, your face is very bad! It seems that your physical condition is not good! Dzerzhinsky looked at the sluggish Li Xiaofeng and asked with some concern.

Hearing this, Molotov rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "It's really the sun coming out in the west, when will Steel Felix also care about comrades?" ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't feel this way, who made this guy not understand Dzerzhinsky's super high work efficiency, otherwise people would not have exhausted themselves to death. On the contrary, this guy is not very willing to let people see his fatigue, thinking that Dzerzhinsky is saying that he is in poor health, and suddenly these two goods are brain-dead:

"Felix. Comrade Edmundovich, I don't think my face is bad! You are questioning my revolutionary passion, but I think your body is a cause for concern! You should take care of your body first! ”

Well, Molotov almost lost his breath, you kid can't hear it! I don't know if Dzerzhinsky cares about you! I've never seen anything more ** than you.

Molotov really wanted to kick the two and remind him not to continue talking nonsense, but Dzerzhinsky almost knocked him to the ground.

"Comrade Andrey, you are really as motivated as ever! Many comrades in our party just lack your kind of enthusiasm, and they should learn from you! ”

Molotov was almost in tears, steel Felix, have you been in prison for so long that you can't understand Russian. Do you want to praise that kid for his attitude? Marx is on top, don't take you to joke like this.

In fact, Dzerzhinsky is just a lover of Wu and Wu, and with his knowledge of Li Xiaofeng in Peter and Paul Prison, he thinks that this little ghost has a very distinct personality and is really full of passion for the revolution. Earlier, he thought that Li Xiaofeng was a young man's three-minute heat, but now it seems that he feels that someone is really consistent and full of enthusiasm for the revolution. Coupled with the fact that a certain person is young and is still outside the party, even if he speaks out of line, Dzerzhinsky does not care, thinking that it is just the impulse of a young man. And for high-level veteran party members like Molotov, steel Felix of course has high standards and strict requirements, so it is extremely strict.

It's a pity that a certain second person doesn't know the truth of what happened at all, and thinks that he has suppressed Dzerzhinsky with a domineering side leak, and he is still complacent there. I didn't know that when he joined the party, Steel Felix would not be so tolerant.

After the praise, Dzerzhinsky got back to business: "So, Comrade Andrei, have you made up the funds for 4500 rubles?" If you don't have it, don't work too hard, after all, the resumption of Pravda will still require a preparatory process......"

A certain 2B youth felt that Dzerzhinsky was looking down on him, so he suddenly came up again, took out the gold bar from his pocket, and fell in front of Dzerzhinsky with a bang.

"That's 500 grams of gold, if it's not enough, I'll donate another 500 grams tomorrow!" The 2B man said loudly.

Dzerzhinsky was finally not calm, he was misled by Molotov from beginning to end, thinking that Li Xiaofeng was giving paper money, but he never thought that someone was the one who paid the bill with gold. At that time, Molotov was asked: "Comrade Vyacheslav Mikhailovich, Comrade Andrei yesterday also paid for five hundred rubles in gold?" ”

Molotov was also taken aback by the gold on the table, his thoughts were actually similar to Dzerzhinsky's, thinking that yesterday a certain man really did not bring a wallet, which was a special case, and he thought that someone really couldn't take out rubles, and the gold was richer. Immediately stammered and replied: "Yes, Comrade Andrei donated fifty grams of gold to the party yesterday!" ”

I rub! O rich man!

Dzerzhinsky couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in his heart, his background was not bad, but he had never seen such a large amount of gold, especially when he heard it just now, and the other party said that if it was not enough, another five hundred grams of gold would be produced tomorrow. What kind of family is this kid, he doesn't look like the son of a big capitalist! …,

However, Dzerzhinsky can be regarded as an old revolutionary, and he looks very lightly at money, so he immediately reverted to his decision, and instead asked sharply: "Comrade Andrei, do you lend all this money to our party, or ......?"

"Of course, it's a gratuitous donation that doesn't ask for anything in return!" Li Xiaofeng replied categorically, to be honest, although a certain man was tired enough yesterday, he really didn't take this bit of gold in his eyes.

A trace of surprise flashed on Dzerzhinsky's iron face, which had not changed for thousands of years, and he nodded heavily and said: "Thank you so much, Comrade Andrei, you have solved a big problem for us!" ”

Molotov was more practical, to be honest, he had already been overwhelmed by the fundraising work, and he was more concerned about the new donation that Li Xiaofeng said: "Then, Comrade Andrey, will your donation tomorrow also be completely gratuitous?" ”

Dzerzhinsky's face was a little unhappy, although he thought that Li Xiaofeng's generosity was a good thing, but Molotov's question was a bit excessive, like chasing others to force debts. Even if Li Xiaofeng is very rich and can get it, he is willing to take out this money, but it is easy to misunderstand, as if our party forced others to donate. And if all the funds are provided by one person, it is easy for this person to breed some kind of bad pride!

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the party's reputation or Li Xiaofeng's political future, Dzerzhinsky will not agree: "Comrade Andrei's generosity has already greatly solved our problems. Our comrades should solve problems on their own and not put all the burden on one person. This is unfair not only to Comrade Andrei, but also to other comrades of our Party! So whether Comrade Andrei can come up with more money or not, we can't accept it! ”

Dzerzhinsky made the final decision, even if Molotov regretted it and Li Xiaofeng was not convinced, there was no way, who made Petrograd now only a member of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of Steel Felix, he was the oldest, so he could only accept it.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's discontent was quickly diverted, and the latest news came from the Tavrichsky Palace - Tsar Nicholas II announced his abdication and the provisional government was proclaimed!
