Chapter 17 The Two Sides of the Confrontation

During the day, Boris's affairs on the court have spread throughout every corner of the Gorky Automobile Manufacturing Factory. Boris and his friends in the Gorky Factory humiliated the deeds of Mr. Popov's men and became the topic of conversation for the people of the Gorky Factory after dinner. In the eyes of some young people, Boris is like a famous brother who is about to unify the world of the Gorky Automobile Factory.

Seryosha was not so optimistic. He fell into deep concerns. Boris's affairs made the conflict between the two sides irreconcilable. This incident seriously damaged the opponent's dignity. As long as he still wanted to stay in this industry, he would not be able to give up. Just as Seryosha frowned and smoked, the doorbell rang, and an important guest came to Seryosha's house.

"Yuri, I'm so happy to see you!" Seryosha hugged Yuri enthusiastically and greeted him.

"Shelyosha, I heard you are in trouble. I'll see if you can help." Yuri was not very adaptable to Shelyosha's enthusiasm. The first time he came to Shelyosha's house to visit, he brought a bottle of wine to Shelyosha.

"Come here and have supper, let's talk while eating! Dad, go and get Yuri a plate." Seryosha let Yuri in, gave Yuri a glass of rum, and said, "Try it, it's sweet, it's quite appetizing to drink a little before the meal."

The dinner started soon, and it was still as hearty as usual. The main dish was grilled pork chops and the main food was mashed potatoes. After my father led everyone to pray before making the meal, everyone passed on the dishes. Each of them picked up a piece of grilled pork chop and served some mashed potatoes. Today, everyone had no appetite, and everyone only took a little and put it on the plate.

Although Boris greatly increased his face today, he was a little scared when he thought about it. He first broke his silence and said, "Seryosha, always being stared at is not a solution. We have to find a way to solve this problem."

Seriosha wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, took a sip of wine, and said seriously: "We will stop for a while in the past few days, and first touch the other party's bottom. If we don't solve the problem, we will not be able to continue doing business."

"I have found out clearly that this group of people is Popov's subordinates, and I'm afraid that the one who follows Yakov is also his," Mikhail replied affirmatively.

"They have stepped on our land. If we endure it, we won't think about doing business again in the future." Boris said angrily. Although he did not suffer any losses today. But afterwards, he was a little scared. If it wasn't on his land, if it wasn't in public...

"But they have guns, do we have to make a few, otherwise how can we fight with them?" Jakarvo suggested.

Everyone was a little indignant, but Yuri didn't say anything. The five-year prison sentence made him know that Boris and other people were still different from real gangsters. If you ask Yuri what he gained during his five years, it was that these five years have trained Yuri from an amateur gangster to a professional gangster.

Petrov didn't say anything. The young men didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing. They had been operating locally for many years and had mixed forces. How could a few little guys deal with it?

Selyosha ate all the food on the plate and drank a bit of wine to moisten it. Yuri understood the truth. He naturally understood that Boris's affairs today made Popov and his small gang a complete mortal enemy. This incident seriously hit Popov's prestige. If Popov still wanted to keep his position, he would not be able to let Boris go. To deal with people like Popov, the only way to deal with people like Popov is to kill him with one stick. Fooling enemies of this level is to be cruel to him. Seeing his three little brothers indignation, Selyosha was a little worried that they would blindly provoke their opponents in impulse.

Thinking of this, Selyosha pulled Yuri aside, lowered his voice and said, "Yuri, I'm going to do something these days, I need you to do me a favor."

"No problem, Selyosha, if you have any use, just open your mouth." Yuri replied simply.

"I need you to help me watch them and don't let them do anything stupid. I need some time to solve this problem thoroughly," explained Seryosha.

...

Andropov stood anxiously outside the door of Mr. Popov's office for a whole afternoon, and he had never received Mr. Popov's reception. The people who were in and out of the Popov's office looked at this poor man and felt a little gloating. Andropov, who was so arrogant, was beaten by a group of children. Andropov had no intention of paying attention to these people. He only knew that he not only messed up Mr. Popov's errands, but also lost Mr. Popov's face. He had no idea how many times he had asked Mr. Popov's secretary to inform him, but every time he answered, Mr. Popov had no time now.

It was not until dinner that Andropov got the opportunity to meet Mr. Popov.

Andropov took off his hat, held it respectfully in his hand, and walked into Mr. Andropov's office nervously.

Mr. Popov's office is very spacious, surrounded by mahogany bookshelf, with beautifully decorated books neatly placed on it. In front of the desk is a fine handmade copper globe, and the oak floor is covered with handmade carpets from Iran. Mr. Popov is sitting behind the table, with a cup of coffee and a piece of cream cake on it. The aroma of coffee fills the whole house. A dessert after dinner is a dessert that has been Mr. Popov's hobby for many years, but today he has no appetite.

Seeing Andropov coming in, Popov signaled Andropov to sit on the chair in front of the desk. Andropov refused in panic. Popov didn't say anything else, slowly walked out from behind the table, pressed Andropov on the chair, put the coffee and cake in front of Andropov, and said kindly: "You're hungry, I don't have much appetite today. You happened to help me eat it. It's all good things, don't waste it."
