Chapter 147 Xie Leping

Mr. An's statement of raising funds independently made Xie Liaosha full of expectations, but the words of the big men were always ambiguous, which made Xie Liaosha wonder how to explain Mr. An's so-called "independence". No one had specifically told him about this matter that day, which made Seryozha full of expectations and puzzled at the same time.

"Secretary Ulyanov!" Korolev, chairman of the Moscow trade union, called softly.

"Ah! Chairman Korolev, what's the matter!" Seryozha, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses, and hurriedly extended his hand to greet Korolev.

"Chairman Shelepin of our All-China Federation of Trade Unions wants to get to know you!" Korolev whispered in Serezha's ear.

"Well! No problem!" Seryozha agreed, and the two turned and walked towards an old man with all white hair standing outside the crowd.

"Secretary Seryozha, with all due respect, Zyuganov of your Youth League Committee is probably here to take advantage of it, don't you see it!" Korolev said to Seryozha in a low voice.

"What can I do? He's the official secretary!" Sergey said nonchalantly.

"It's better to take the initiative in some things. Your personality is not easy to enjoy in officialdom!" Korolev reminded kindly, and the two soon came to Shelepin, who took the initiative to hold out his hand Xie Liaosha's hand, and then praised with a smile on his face: "Young man, you have done a great deed to our workers!"

"This is our Chairman Selepin!" Korolev introduced to Serezha.

"Chairman, you are too proud!" Seryozha replied modestly.

"Okay, young man, it's really nothing to call you here. The main reason is to get to know you. You have done a good job. On the contrary, our union has not done anything to improve the lives of workers over the years. A few years ago I also wanted to build a sanatorium for the TASS comrades, but in the end I still couldn’t do it, I feel ashamed!” Shelepin’s tone was self-deprecating, and the application was a little lonely, which made Seryosha feel strange. A ministerial-level official on the other side, why did he have such a reaction?

There was a hint of doubt in Seryosha's expression, but Korolev saw it for only a moment of relief, and hurriedly tugged at Seryosha's sleeve. Seryozha didn't know what was wrong with him, but since someone reminded him, then Seryozha also knew that there was something wrong, so he quickly changed his smiling expression.

"Secretary Ulyanov, Mr. An asked you to come over and take a group photo!" A girl's voice came from the crowd. Serezha looked back and saw that it was his subordinate. He turned around and was about to tell Serepin crime. But Selepin took the initiative and said: "Okay, Comrade Ulyanov, I'm here today mainly to get to know you. I don't have any other intentions. I won't waste your time. I should go too."

Kololev sent Selepin away for Seresa. On the way, Selepin said to Korolev: "This Ulyanov really doesn't look like a cadre!"

"Yes! Teacher, he is indeed a young man. I don't know how he was transferred to Moscow. Is the position of the Youth League Committee easy to occupy? He offended a lot of people when he came. Just now, he I almost suffered a dull loss for being so quiet, and I was robbed of the credit by that Zyuganov. I really don’t know how such a person can survive in the officialdom!" Korolev said regretfully.

"But he is really capable, isn't he? We have been in the trade union for so many years and haven't done anything for the workers. He is much better than us!" Xie Lepin said.

"Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself. Some things are beyond our control. Now that Brezhnev has passed away, you still have a chance!" Korolev whispered to Shelepin.

"My chance, I will never have a chance!" Shelepin replied calmly.

"Why? Brezhnev, who has always been against you, is dead. You once became the number two person in this country. Shouldn't you be reused? You..." Shelepin stretched out his hand and interrupted Ko Lolev's words.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to Korolev:

"Son, I know Brezhnev better than I know myself. Do you think he's still in power these past few years? Brezhnev is a hedonistic guy. Such a person will start the war in Afghanistan Also, he was negotiating an agreement with Nixon to limit medium-range missiles a few years ago. In recent years, he has conducted military exercises on the western border, deployed pioneer missiles, and conducted a nuclear war exercise. Don’t you think these things Is it all contradictory?" Shelepin analyzed, he looked at Kololev, and Korolev looked at the teacher Shelepin in surprise, he always felt that his teacher was too simple like Seryosha , I didn't expect the teacher to see it so thoroughly.

"Teacher, what do you mean? Don't you think Mr. Bo has been dismissed long ago!" Korolev whispered an unbelievable conclusion. There have long been rumors in Moscow that Mr. Bo has been reading speeches written for him by others in the past few years, and has made many jokes. It is said that when meeting with former U.S. President Carter, the secretary prepared a pre-written note for him, telling him that if Carter asked a long question, he should read it all, and if the question was short, he should read the first part. Later, Carter really asked short questions. The secretary crossed out the following content and handed it to Brezhnev. Brezhnev asked doubtfully, "Do I still read the following?" This made Carter dumbfounded. The news was widely circulated as a joke. But if you think about it carefully, Brezhnev is like a puppet at the mercy of others.

"Who is manipulating all this? Could it be Secretary Andropov!" Korolev asked in a low voice. It came from Mr. Bo's suppression, but he didn't expect Mr. Bo to be a puppet.

Shelepin looked at Andropov, Gorbachev, and Grishin in the distance and said sadly: "It's all of them!"

Shelepin and the others quickly walked to the side of the car, and just before getting into the car, Shelepin grabbed Korolev's hand and said, "You have to help this young man, although he is a political idiot, he is in a very good situation at the moment. Churbanov is his good friend, and Andropov appreciates him very much, and he is also very capable. As long as he wants to do something, the resistance will definitely be much smaller. Korolev, I There is no hope in this life, but you are still young. If you still want to do something, cooperate with this young man!"

Xie Leping got into the car and left alone. Almost no one cared about his departure. Everyone was busy gathering around General Secretary An, preparing for tomorrow's big news. Korolev looked at the passing car, feeling lost, and heaved a long sigh!
