I told Sergey that my cousin Ivan worked at the Manchuria Railway Bureau. He can take you to find out about the rail freight there.

Sergey stared at me and smiled and said:

- "Daniel once asked me, how did you get Lina?" Ha ha...... I also feel like I'm really lucky. ”

- "Lucky? Have you forgotten about your leave without pay? I said

- "What unpaid leave?" Ivan asked with some curiosity

- "Lena knew I hadn't taken a vacation in years, and she found an opportunity to take me on vacation. Sergey replied

- "Lina, you're doing the right thing! Lenin said that if you don't rest, you won't work," said my uncle.

- "Hehe......" Sergei and I looked at each other and smiled.

Having witnessed the freight situation of the Chinese railway, Sergei said that China's railway line through Eastern Siberia to Europe will play an increasingly important role in foreign trade in the future.

Back in Chita, Sergey began to talk to the company on the phone.

He paced back and forth in the room with his chin in his right hand, held on to his left hand.

I think the reason for Sergei's hesitation may be that he feels that this meeting with Yuri is important, but he feels that he has been away from the company for too long, and he is a little relieved.

Suddenly, Sergey stood still, looked at me and asked:

- "Linna, how is the work of your department?" ”

Sitting on the sofa easily and waiting for his instructions, I put down the teacup in my hand and said;

- "Our department is on vacation on a rotating basis. As you can see, China is celebrating the Spring Festival, and there are no shipments of goods this month, and air cargo only began to increase at the end of February. At the moment, there is basically nothing going on in our department. However, I don't know about the other departments. ”

- "How about a trip to Holinsk then?" Sergey asked

- "Is it necessary for me to go?" Yuri didn't invite me again! I laughed

- "Well, Yuri really invited you to go too. Sergei said with a smile.

The governor wanted to send us a car to take us to Khorinsk, but Sergei politely refused, he didn't even say who we were going to see there.

Sergey rented a Mercedes G-Class SUV and we hit the road.

I basically don't have any idea about cars. When I saw the herringbone sign on the front of the car, I thought, this Sergey! Does he have a soft spot for Mercedes?

Sergei told me that if the journey goes well, we will be able to get to Khorinsk in a maximum of 6 hours.

Looking at the white snow-covered highway I was a little worried, did we drive all the way to Khorinsk on such a road?

Sergei smiled and said, do you really expect a snowplow here to clear the road like in Moscow? But don't worry about my skills, don't dare to drive on the snow, that's what a Russian is called.

Even if it's not as Andrei says - I do what Sergei says. However, in my bones, I still trust Sergei. This may be the reason why Sergei has not let me down so far.

The sky was clear and cloudless. Our cars travel on intercity highways.

I'm a little curious why Yuri invited me too?

Sergey said that he only told Yuri that he and I were on a business trip in Transbaikal, and when Yuri found out, he said that he could bring Lina with him if it was convenient, and he did not say anything else.

I said that Yuri might just be polite and didn't really want to invite me, right?

Sergey said that Yuri was not very polite to everyone.

I looked out the window, and the wilderness of the Far East in winter was particularly bleak and desolate. It's so monotonous that it's easy to focus. The scene I saw when I first met Yuri came to mind. Daniel says that he is a friend of Roman, but later in the process of rescuing Andrei, Yuri is clearly helping Sergei. What exactly is the relationship between Yuri, Sergey, Roman??

To be honest, I don't know anything about Sergei's connections, and as a subordinate, I'm not qualified to inquire about them. With a stomach full of questions, I looked at Sergei, who was always a little unfathomable to me.
