Chapter 41 Gaidar's Difficult Choice

Although Ligachev's staff officer Valery was reluctant in every way, he still had to take the initiative to contact Yegor Gaidar according to Ligachev's wishes.

Speaking of which, the two didn't know each other when they were in school, but they got to know each other a little later after they started working. Among the graduates of Moscow University, at the age of twenty-nine, he became a senior adviser to the State Economic System Reform Committee, which is naturally a successful person among his classmates, but the opportunity to work beside Ligachev is obviously more promising than a consultant.

But now, Valery is going to personally send his old classmate to the position of deputy editor-in-chief.

Valerie opened the alumni address book that he hadn't opened for a long time, and found Gaidar's private phone number. Then he called Gaidar's home on a Friday night.

"Valery? I'm sorry, which Valery are you?" Gaidar, who received the call, heard the other party's self-introduction, but couldn't remember who Valery was.

"Ah? I'm from the Department of Economics of Moscow State University. When you were a graduate student, I was also studying for a doctoral degree at the school. After graduation, I was assigned to work in the Secretariat of the Central Committee!" Valery hurriedly reminded. Although he was extremely angry in his heart, his tone was still calm.

"Ah~~! I remembered, it's Senior Valery! Look at my brain, how could I forget you? I'm really obsessed. Senior Valery, long time no see. How are you doing? Gaidar said suddenly.

"I'm not like that, but you are now the chief economist of the Foreign Trade Bank, and you are the best among our graduates!" Valery complimented Gaidar.

"Senior Valery, you are wrong! It's not me who is the best, but my boss, Minister Ulyanov. Have you forgotten that Minister Ulyanov is from the chemistry department of our school? Gaidar corrected modestly.

"Okay, you're not bad! Chief economist, how about you? Do you have time on the weekend? I want you to give a lecture to the staff of the General Office of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and talk about the problems of the Western economic system. Who We all know that your Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation is an expert in this field!"

"No problem!" Gaidar simply agreed. The two agreed to meet the next afternoon. Valery will drive to pick up Gaidar himself, and after the course is over, they will go for a drink together. After Valery put down the phone, he sat on the chair in pain.

In the afternoon of the next day, Valery took Gaidar to the Supreme Soviet. The two-hour class was almost stress-free for Gaidar. After the class ended, it was already around six o'clock in the afternoon. Valery booked a room at the Moscow Hotel, so he drove Gaidar to the hotel.

"Come, come, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we must have a good drink tonight, don't worry, even if you get drunk, just open a room in the hotel and have a rest!" Valery warmly entertained.

This big meal was reimbursed by the secretariat, so Valery would naturally not be stingy. Although there are not many dishes, the ingredients are all imported top-quality ingredients. Gaidar was naturally satisfied with Valery's hospitality. The two drank for a long time, and both were a little drunk. Valery saw the opportunity, and suddenly said to Gaidar: "Junior Yegor, how is your life at the Foreign Trade Bank? In a few years, you will be able to become the vice president, right?"

"How... how is it possible? Vice President? I am not even as good as Ulyanov's secretary now. He just asks me to help him draft some articles and proposals every day. It is all a job of playing with pens. His number one secretary Minasca was sent to the UK to take charge of the foreign trade bank's business in the UK, and I can't compare with them!" Gaidar then replied drunkenly and complaining.

"Brother, since you are so unhappy, do you plan to change places?" Valery asked Gaidar's intention.

"laugh,

Change places, where to go? Gaidar asked back disdainfully. Although he complained that he was not reused, the treatment of Foreign Trade Bank is notoriously good.

"What do you think of being the deputy editor-in-chief?" Valery asked suddenly.

"Ah! What are you kidding?" Gaidar was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized who the other party was, and suddenly he was half sober from the wine.

"No, I'm not joking! I'll tell you the truth, this is what Secretary Ligachev meant! He cherishes you as a talent. You know that the deputy editor-in-chief is at the deputy ministerial level. Your boss Ulyanov is now That's an official of this level!" Valery said deeply.

"What conditions?" Gaidar was tempted, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Secretary Ligachev wants to know why the Foreign Trade Bank is doing everything possible to obstruct our audit work! After this is done, you will be the deputy editor-in-chief!" Valery replied.

"Let me think about it carefully!" Gaidar felt that he was drunk today, and it was not suitable for thinking about such an important issue. He didn't agree immediately, but hoped to think about it when he was sober.

"Alright, contact me when you have made up your mind. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Smart people know how to choose! You can rest here tonight. Anyway, the room is already booked, so don't waste it!" Valery agreed. .

The meal became meaningless after the meal, and the two drank a few more glasses of wine before going back to rest. As soon as he got back to the room, Gaidar filled the bathtub with cold water, and then jumped into it.

The cold water made Gaidar completely awake. He lit a cigarette and sat in the bathtub like this, pondering over and over again until dawn.

Early the next morning, Gaidar, who had been thinking all night, had already made a decision. He came to the unit on time and put on a brand new shirt and suit. Then he went straight to the door of Minister Ulyanov's office and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!" replied Seryozha.

Gaidar pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that it was Gaidar who came, Seryozha felt a little surprised. He motioned for Gaidar to sit on the sofa, and then asked the staff outside to bring something to drink. Then he asked: "Comrade Gaidar, what's the matter?"

"Minister Ulyanov, Ligachev's senior adviser and my old classmate Valery invited me to dinner last night. They wanted me to inquire about the foreign exchange affairs of the Foreign Trade Bank and promised me that once they found out What, just arrange me to be the deputy editor-in-chief..." Gaidar said to Seryozha, the more he listened, the more confused he became, he couldn't understand why this Gaidar was so loyal to him.
