Our company is located in the large market of Moscow. Anyone who has been to Moscow before knows that in the north of Moscow there is a super market. At that time, Putin had just taken office, and Russia's economy was beginning to recover. It is different from the consumption patterns of Western Europe. Russia and even Eastern Europe are particularly well-suited to this modest marketing model. During my years, the size of the market grew several times over.

There are more than 100,000 people moving around the market every day. Countless oversized containers are unloaded there every day in several large parking lots. Businessmen, hawkers from Russia, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Turkey, India, Vietnam, China, Syria, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan flood the entire market. There are also a large number of workers from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

The daily market is the first place in the city to wake up. While the vast majority of Muscovites were still asleep, the market was already buzzing. On the way from the subway to the market, you will see a non-stop flow of people. You don't have to ask for directions, follow the flow of people, and it's easy to find the market gate.

On this short road to the market, you will not only meet gypsies begging with their children in their arms, but also several waves of police officers checking passports. Almost the same as the market all over the world. Moscow's markets are also favored by bandits, the underworld. There are not only thieves, but also prostitutes and people selling drugs in the market.

The police in Moscow pretended to be a private investigator of pedestrians and vehicles. Once they encounter a problem with their identity, their God of Wealth will receive it. In fact, the hard work of the police is not in vain. There are too many people in Moscow whose identities are not legal, who depend on this market for survival. Once they encounter a police officer checking their passports, they will take the initiative to bribe the police.

The market is like a small society with alternative condensation, and the needs of people here are also very comprehensive. Our grocery store-like company is located in the market. I was in charge of the newspaper distribution and advertising section. Although our "Chinese Daily" is not an open newspaper, it occupies a very important place in the Chinese circle in Moscow. At that time, the network was not as developed as it is today. People still publish information mainly through newspapers. Job search and recruitment are the most popular columns in our newspaper and the selling point of our newspaper.

Moscow in early autumn is already a little cool. I sat at my desk and listened to the piano music from La Vien en Rose coming from the video store next door. The phone on the table rang.

- "Chinese Daily Advertising Department, I'm Linna, hello, what can I do for you?" I answered the phone, repeating professionally.

- "Linna, it's you, haha, great, I'm Misha." Misha laughed happily on the other end of the line.

It turned out that Misha and his friends had teamed up to open a Chinese restaurant in the city center. They're almost ready and need to recruit people. He needs to publish a job posting in our newspaper.

I put pen to paper about his recruitment requirements and salary.

They really need a lot of people: a cook, a lobby manager, a waiter, and a female singer.

- "The singer's salary is not low, but it's a pity that I can't sing." I was joking with him as I wrote.

- "Who said you can't sing, I think you can sing pretty well, or why don't you try it?" Misha asked me.

- "Forget it! I'm just humming, by the way, if you want a professional level, you can go to the music institutions in Moscow and ask, some of their actors have good skills, and the salary is not high. "I gave Misha advice.

- "It doesn't need to be that professional. The guests are mainly Chinese. If you want to listen to domestic pop songs, where will the Russians sing them? Preferably a Chinese singer, as long as you can handle the guests. Misha explained.

Understanding his intentions, I quickly prepared an advertising slogan for him and told him that the advertisement would appear in the newspaper tomorrow.

Opening a restaurant really doesn't seem easy. There are too many things to do in Misha.

Remembering that we have some recipes translated here by other Chinese restaurants, and we still have manuscripts, maybe Misha can use them, if they are really useful, I can also help him, and I can also take the opportunity to return the favor that he helped me introduce to work.

Thinking of this, I called Misha back.

After listening to my words, I felt that Misha's side seemed to be a little excited, and said:

- "Linna! You're so good, I almost missed the recipe. Thanks to you for reminding me. Thank you so much. When we have a good benefit here, I will definitely invite you to work in my place, and you can mention the salary you want at that time. ”

I thought to myself, it's normal for friends to help each other, and I really don't have any plans to go to work with him.

Within a few days, we were referring to the dishes and prices of other Chinese restaurants to help Misha determine the recipes, and I also helped the recipes to be made in our company's printing agency. Misha asked me to bring the recipe to our academy, so he didn't have to go so far to the market to get it.

On Friday, after work, I stood at the entrance of the academy with the recipe and waited for Misha. Andrei and a Russian girl were found coming out of the gate, waiting for the bus next to the bus station. The girl was tall and almost as tall as Andre in her high heels. Even in a black dress, it is still noticeably plump. Tanya, I'm 100% sure that girl is Tanya!

DiDi !! Misha's BMW stopped on the side of the road and honked its horn to call me. I walked over and he got out of the car, took the recipe, and looked at it with satisfaction. I could see the tiredness on his face, and I could see red bloodshot in his eyes. I invited him to sit in his bedroom.

Misha Says:

- "I was so busy that I didn't sleep all night last night, I really didn't go up, and I was embarrassed to ask you to wait here for me to pick up the recipe." I don't have time, and I'm not polite to you, the seafood that your former boss promised us should have been delivered yesterday, you see what time it is today, I haven't believed it yet, I have to ask him. ”

Misha thanked me and got into the car. I said goodbye to him, and Misha rolled down the window and said to me:

- "Linna, I won't say anything else, please open the business, you must come"

I nodded to Misha in the car. Watch him leave.

Turning around, I walked to the school gate. Looking in the direction of the station, I saw that they were still standing there, with Tanya with her back to me and Andre facing the school entrance. He saw me, and he saw me see them. I turned around and entered the gates of the academy.

Misha's restaurant has been grandly opened, and the Chinese in Moscow have another good place to relax. It's just that I couldn't find the time to support the opening of his restaurant.
