Autumn in Irkutsk comes quickly, and the temperature drops quickly.

On Saturday, after breakfast, I was in my room tidying up. Put away all the light summer skirts and take out some autumn clothes to keep out the cold.

By accident, I saw Andrei's white sweater sitting there quietly. I stared at it.

I really haven't thought about André once since I logged out of my Facebook account, I know it's my subconscious that I'm afraid to touch any information about André, just like now, when I look at the white sweater and I'm too scared to touch it.

I wonder if Andre noticed that I had deleted my account? Maybe it doesn't matter to him anymore......

I don't let myself think about Andrei, because, just thinking about him makes my heart ache, and it will take me a long time to calm down.

So, I knew that I simply didn't have the strength to figure out what was really going on between us, and the only thing I could recognize was that this pain of mine was caused by Andre and that I had to find a way to get out of it and keep myself alive.

At the moment, I was staring at the sweater and my mind was blank!

Someone knocked on the door, I came back to my senses, opened the door and saw Mr. Liu standing at the door with a smile on his face

- "Am I bothering you?" He asked politely

- "Where, I'm tidying up the room, it's too messy!" You please come in! ”

As I spoke, I carried the clothes piled on the couch back to my room.

Mr. Liu sat on the sofa, turned around and said with a smile:

- "Linna, do you remember the project that Mike was talking about when we had dinner a few days ago?" ”

I went back to the living room, sat down opposite Mr. Liu and said:

- "Of course, Michael said that it was the project of the century, and he was going to be listed on the NASDAQ!" It's also the biggest project I've ever worked on. ”

- "Yes, it's really not easy to come across such a big project!" Mr. Liu said in agreement.

- "What do you drink?" Tea or coffee? I asked.

- "I don't drink anything, I really didn't expect to disturb you to clean up your room, I'll sit for a while and leave, you don't have to work." Mr. Liu said

- "You're welcome, I'm okay to find something for myself, what's the bother!" I laughed

- "Linna, did you hear Mike mention their environmental approval the other day?" Mr. Liu asked

I nodded, and Mr. Liu continued:

- "Yesterday, in Sister Zhou's villa, I seemed to hear the governor say to Mike that the approval has not come down yet. ”

- "Really? Mike didn't say that the document was not important, and in the end, it could be approved. "I didn't pay much attention to Mr. Liu's words.

- "It doesn't seem like the situation is as simple as Mike says it is. I listened to the governor's intentions, and I didn't agree to them start work without approval. Mike said that if the approval time is too long, he is afraid that there will be changes on the investor's side. He advocated starting operations as soon as possible, but the governor said that if the paperwork was not complete, he did not want to be responsible if something went wrong...... I think the approval is really a problem for them! ”

I looked at Mr. Liu and thought how could he have the energy to all this idleness? This is not his project, he is in a hurry.

- "Didn't Mike say that their shareholders are not governors, mayors are ministers, prime ministers or something?" Can an environmental approval still stump them? I laughed.

- "I feel that these masters are the masters of eating and not caring about things, and no one seems to be so concerned about this batch of articles."

Mike wants to solve this problem through the governor of Irkutsk, and the governor seems to feel that it is not his obligation, so this is also a problem for Mike!

Linna, let's understand the national situation in Russia, if you really find something illegal, the supervision department will really not be polite to you, don't look at what kind of governor you are, the mayor doesn't have the same face as a Chinese official, hehe...... "Mr. Liu said meaningfully.

- "In this way, the progress of this project is not as smooth sailing as Mike imagined!" ”

- "How can it be so easy to make money?" Especially for such a big project, I think Mike and Mr. Su may not be able to handle it. Mr. Liu leaned on the back of the sofa and raised his head, his expression seemed to be a little gloating.

That's when someone called him.

I heard Mr. Liu hum and agreed in the end, he said: "Then I'll use my relationship to try!" Old friend, what are you talking about! …… Where, where...... I'm waiting to get rich with you!" Haha......

Putting down the phone, Mr. Liu said excitedly:

- "Linna, as I expected, Mike still opened his mouth to beg us.

The governor only promised to turn a blind eye to their approach, but the final approval must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be responsible if the project is halted.

No, Mike still thinks that we can do it if we come forward.

Oh, by the way, this time we can't just ask Sergei to help us out, and let him participate in this business. ”

I looked at Mr. Liu and hesitated whether Sergei should be involved in this matter. Will he be interested in this project?

Mr. Liu seemed to see my doubts, and he continued:

- "Linna, let's not mention what kind of person Mike is, his project is really unique, and such an investment opportunity is absolutely once-in-a-lifetime.

If this project is completed, the benefits will be limitless. Michael said that he wanted to take it to the NASDAQ, and I think it was absolutely possible, Linna, and I would give you some shares, even if we can't be rich, but it's absolutely okay to be financially free. ”

"Financial Freedom"! Mr. Liu's words really moved me. If I were really financially free, would I be able to leave the dangerous land of Irkutsk?

I left a message for Sergey on Skype and within a few minutes he replied.

I turned on the voice and heard Sergey's clear magnetic voice again, and he said with a smile:

- "Ah, Linna, you haven't contacted me for half a year, have you? Where are you? I'm in Mumbai right now, I'm going to Philadelphia in two days, and if you're in New York with Andre, I'll stop by to see you! ”

- "I don't want to go to New York in my life!" I said.

- "Hahaha...... It seems that New York is messing with you, so don't go to New York, let's have some fun! Well, is there something wrong with you? ”

I told Sergei about Mike's project and asked him if he had anything to do with it to help us get the environmental approval as soon as possible.

Sergei said that he really did not know any acquaintances in the agency that approved the documents, but Anatoly, who opened the mines in Buryatia, should be particularly familiar with how to handle environmental documents, otherwise he would not have been able to open so many mines.

As for the project itself, which Mike said, Sergei said with a smile that he was really not optimistic.

Although Russia is an energy exporter, the Mack project is an export of above-ground water resources, which will not only affect environmental issues, but also affect the natural ecological balance of the Baikal region.

It is not surprising to say that the environmental protection documents of this project have not been released.

It may take a long time for those experts to determine whether the project is feasible, right?

I told Mr. Liu about Sergey's opinion on this project, and he pondered for a long time, looked up and said:

- "Linna, Sergei is really not easy. Why didn't I think of this layer? Yes, the change of water resources will affect the ecological environment of a region, which is fundamentally different from the extraction of oil and gas from the ground.

Hehe...... Those governors, ministers, and so on were fooled by Mike, and I actually believed in his project...... If it weren't for Sergey, we would all be planted in it this time.

This Sergei is really powerful, if you don't accept it, you can't do it! ”

I looked at Mr. Liu, and he sighed, his face full of joy and sincerity.

In the evening, we ate in the office cafeteria. Deputy Director Cheng said excitedly:

- "If Mr. Su and Mike's project is completed, will our group be more famous than Alibaba, and will our wages also rise?" ”

- "The treatment of those world-famous large companies is absolutely not said. Director Zhu continued.

I looked at everyone and felt that my colleagues in our office were looking forward to this project. However, they don't seem to understand that the project is actually difficult to implement, and it is more likely that it will be a lack of joy.

Thinking that I had also fantasized about the dream of "Wealth Freedom" for this project, I felt some sympathy for my colleagues.

As I put the dish in the bowl, I said tentatively:

- "Didn't Mike say that the environmental document didn't come down?" If it really can't be done, will the project not be able to start? ”

- "Mike's meaning, it seems that the document is not tight, and it is not good to bribe the person who approved it, so you can't get it!" Deputy Director Cheng said with confidence.

- "The temper of the Russians is not easy to say, and sometimes they really don't recognize money. You see that in the subway stations in Moscow, they are so empty, and how much money is given and you are not allowed to press the billboard, this Chinese cannot understand. I said

- "Linna, that's right, you said that Russia is full of mines, but even if they are not allowed to mine, it is no wonder that their economy is underdeveloped and they deserve to be poor. If we Chinese, in a few years, at least half of the mines here will be developed. In the Irkutsk region, at least ten Shenzhens have been built. ”

- "Yes! Because of this, I think the environmental approval of Mike's project is still very important, and if there is really no approval, we should not be too optimistic about this project. I said.

- "I think the main thing about whether this project can work is money, as long as the investment is in place, nothing else is a problem." Director Zhu said.

- "Oh, but, Mr. Liu, aren't you going to see Mike at Sister Zhou's villa?" By the way, let's also learn about the status of the project, everyone is looking forward to it. Deputy Director Cheng said to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu has been eating with his head down, and he doesn't seem to want to get involved in this topic.

Hearing Deputy Director Cheng call him, Mr. Liu raised his head and said:

- "Wajim said that there are some problems with the progress of our project, and I promised him to go to the construction site tomorrow to have a look, and he may not have time to go to the mountain villa recently. ”
