Churbanov tossed and tossed for a whole night, and it was not until after four o'clock the next morning that he gradually recovered from the pain of drug addiction. Teana 『Novel Ww』W. 『⒉3TXT. COM Seryozha helped the weak and powerless Churbanov out of the bedroom and poured him a glass of warm water.
"Thank you!" Churbanov took the cup with some embarrassment.
Seryozha sat across from him, took out the humidor he carried with him from his pocket, took out a cigar from it, then cut off the end of the cigar with a cigar scissors, and finally lit the cigar with a lighter . The whole night without falling asleep and the exhaustion from the journey forced Seryozha to smoke one to refresh himself.
"What's your name?" Churbanov looked at Seryozha's smoking action and felt that this young officer was a bit unusual. Churbanov is a person who knows how to enjoy himself. He can tell that Serezha uses high-end products, and the cigar box and lighter are all custom-made models in Dupont, France. This is not something a small lieutenant colonel can afford.
"Sergei Ivanovich Ulyanov, you can call me Seryozha, we met last night!" Seryozha replied with some dissatisfaction.
"Sorry! I met too many people tonight, can I ask you for a favor, tonight's birthday..."
"I won't tell anyone. You can rest assured about this!" Seryozha replied without waiting for Churbanov to finish speaking. Seryozha was involved in this scene tonight unintentionally. No interest in Churbanov's personal idiosyncrasies.
"Thank you!" Churbanov's mouth twitched. He could hear the contempt in the other party's tone, but the other party helped him cover up the scandal after all. He will not be angry with his benefactor Churbanov, even if the other party is not so respectful to him. But he still wanted to explain, so he continued: "Want to know why I got this kind of thing?"
"You don't need to tell me!" Seryozha said indifferently.
Churbanov smiled awkwardly, and then said to himself: "Actually, I was also forced to get infected, but I'm not sure. Once I had a bad headache, and Galina gave me a few pills." Medicine, since that time I can't live without that thing."
"How long has it been?" Seryozha asked suddenly. He felt a little pity for the son-in-law. His wife is said to be dissatisfied with this political marriage and has a flirtatious nature.
"Not long, a few months! I always wanted to quit it, but it was too difficult!" Churbanov said sadly.
Although Seryozha did not know whether what Churbanov said was true or not,
However, there were rumors of a feud between Churbanov and President Bo's daughter Galina. Churbanov is Mr. Bo's chosen husband for Galina. Mr. Bo thinks that Churbanov is a good son-in-law in his heart, but Galina doesn't think so.
Although President Bo is in charge of the entire country, he can't control his precious daughter Galina. In the whole of the Soviet Union, Galina was an oddity. She had been married twice before Churbanov, the first time when she was a teenager, she fell in love with a circus Hercules. Without the knowledge of the family, he eloped with the Hercules directly, and it was not until a few years later that the relationship between the two broke up and they came back with their children. Galina's second marriage lasted just nine days. Seriosha felt that what Churbanov said was absolutely true. Princess Galina didn't even like his father, so how could she think highly of this high-ranking son-in-law who flatters her ass! Seryozha felt a little sympathetic to this guy now, so he softened his cold tone and said, "I'll give you a suggestion, if you feel really uncomfortable, you can replace it with methadone, and then gradually reduce the dose, maybe you can quit it slowly. .”
Perhaps the atmosphere has eased, the conversations between the two have gradually increased, and Seriousa unexpectedly learned that Churbanov and him are alumni of Moscow State University, of course Churbanov went to It is a correspondence class, which is incomparable with a genuine college student like Sergei Sha. Maybe it's because these years have been too depressing, and Seryozha accidentally ran into the scandal of Churbanov. After pouring bitter water, Seryozha couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he went to have a glass of wine to accompany Churbanov. Before he knew it, the sky gradually brightened.
Churbanov said to Seryozha: "For so many years, I haven't spoken so much to anyone. Anyway, you don't have any acquaintances here. Why don't you just follow me! I can introduce you to the Communist Youth League Colleagues from the Central Committee, I hope it will be useful to you.” The reason why Churbanov did this was also carefully thought out, he wanted to win over Sergei Sha, although Sergei Sha had promised to keep the secret, but Churbanov still He felt that it would be more effective to tie Serezha with real benefits than empty talk.
Seryozha did not reject the olive branch offered by Churbanov, he understood that only in this way could Churbanov feel at ease with him. The two simply packed up and left the room. On the way to the restaurant, the people around Mr. Bo blocked the way of Churbanov and Seryozha.
"Minister Churbanov, where have you been? The general secretary asked you to have breakfast together this morning, but I can't find you anywhere!" the staff member complained.
"Sorry! I was chatting with a friend last night. Look, this is him, Seryozha!" Churbanov introduced the official. Seryozha hastened to shake hands with him.
"May I invite Seryozha to go with me?" Churbanov continued. The staff showed a troubled expression, and just as Seryozha was about to refuse, Churbanov said, "Forget it, I'll give him a call!"
So Churbanov went to make a phone call, and the officials were a little embarrassed to wait for the news with Seryozha. After a few minutes, Churbanov came back, and said: "President Bo agreed, and it's really strange. He actually knows you! Have you met before?"
"A few months ago, Mr. Bob awarded me the Gold Star Medal!" Seryozha explained modestly.
Churbanov was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "You~ you are actually a Hero of the Soviet Union, I remembered, you are the one from Afghanistan!"
Seryozha smiled, acquiescing. With President Bo's instructions, the official took Seryosha and Churbanov to the restaurant where President Bo was waiting. As soon as Sergei entered the door, he saw Mr. Bo sitting on a chair in the middle of the dining table in his pajamas, with a cigarette in his hand, puffing away.
Seeing Churbanov and Seriosha, Mr. Bo waved happily, and then said with a smile: "Come on, I'll wait for you!"
"Daddy!" Churbanov responded.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, General Secretary!" Sergey also rushed forward to greet him.
"My little Yuri (Churbanov's name) is bringing friends here for the first time. I didn't expect you to be so familiar, Seryozha!" Mr. Bo picked up the coffee pot on the table while talking. I personally poured a cup of fragrant coffee for Seryozha. (To be continued.)
