Chapter 147 Xie Leping
Mr. An’s words of self-raising funds made Selyosha full of expectations, but the big shots always spoke ambiguously, which made Selyosha not know what explanation should be made of Mr. An’s so-called “autonomousness”. No one had told him specifically about this matter that day, which made Selyosha full of expectations and confusion.
"Secretary Ulyanov!" Kololev, chairman of the Moscow City Trade Union, called softly.
"Ah! Chairman Kololev, is there anything wrong?" Seryosha came to his senses and hurriedly reached out to greet Kololev.
"President Xie Lieping of our All-China Federation of Trade Unions wants to get to know you!" Kololev came to Selyosha's ear and whispered.
"Yeah! No problem!" Xie Liaosha agreed, and the two turned and walked towards an old man with all white hair standing outside the crowd.
"Selection Selyosha, I'm sorry, Jiuganov from your Youth League Committee is here to take advantage of it. Didn't you see that!" Kololev said to Selyosha in a low voice.
"What can I do? He is the secretary!" Xie Liaosha said dismissively.
"It is better to take the initiative to make some things. Your personality is not very good in the officialdom!" Kololev reminded kindly. The two of them soon came to Xie Lieping. Xie Lieping took the initiative to reach out and hold Xie Lieping's hand, and then praised with a smile on his face: "Young man, you have done a great thing for our workers!"
"This is our Chairman Sherepin!" Kololev introduced to Sherepin.
"Chairman, you have been too rewarded!" Xie Liangsha replied modestly.
"Okay, young man, there's nothing to do to call you over, mainly to get to know you. You do a good job, but our union hasn't done anything to improve the lives of workers in the past few years. A few years ago, I wanted to build a nursing home for the comrades of the TASS, but in the end I couldn't do it. I feel ashamed!" Xie Lieping's tone had a self-deprecating tone, and the application was a little lonely, which made Xie Lesha feel strange. Why did an official at the ministerial level react like this?
A trace of doubt flashed in Selyosha's expression. Kololev saw it for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Selyosha's sleeve. Selyosha didn't know what was wrong with him, but since someone reminded him, Selyosha knew there was something wrong, so he quickly changed his smile.
"Secretary Ulyanov, Mr. An asked you to come and take a photo!" A girl's voice came from the crowd. Xieliasha looked back and saw that it was his subordinate. He turned around and was about to accuse Xie Lieping. But Xie Lieping took the initiative to say, "Okay, Comrade Ulyanov, I came here today mainly to get to know you. There is no other meaning. It will not waste your time. I should leave too."
Kololev sent Xielepin away for Selyosha, and on the way, Selepin said to Kololev: "This Ulyanov really doesn't look like a cadre!"
"Yes! Teacher, he is indeed a naughty man. I don't know how he was transferred to Moscow. Is it easy to take up the position of the Youth League Committee? He offended a lot of people. Just now, he almost suffered a loss and was snatched away by that Jiuganov. I really don't know how such a person can survive in the officialdom!" Kololev said regretfully.
"But he is indeed very capable, right? We have been in the union for so many years and have not been able to do anything for the workers. He is much better than us!" Xie Lieping said.
"Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself. Some things are not something we can control. Now that Brezhnev has passed away, you still have a chance!" Kololev said to Xie Lieping in a low voice.
"I will never have a chance!" Xie Lieping replied calmly.
"Why? Brezhnev, who has always been against you, is dead. You once became the second person in this country. Shouldn't you be reused? You..." Sherepin stretched out his hand to interrupt Kololev. He hesitated for a moment before saying to Kololev:
"Child, I know Brezhnev better than I do. Do you think he is still monopolizing in recent years? Brezhnev is a guy who advocates hedonism. Such a person will launch the Afghan war? In addition, he was discussing an agreement with Nixon to limit medium-range missiles in the past few years. 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 are contradictory?" Xie Lieping analyzed. He looked at Kololev, and Kololev looked at Xie Lieping, who was called the teacher in surprise. He always felt that his teacher was as simple as Xie Lieshosha. He could not have seen it so thoroughly.
"Teacher, what do you mean? Do you think President Bo has been undermined for a long time?" Kololev whispered an incredible conclusion. There have been rumors in Moscow. It has been rumored that President Bo has been reading the speeches written by others for several years and has made a lot of jokes. It is said that when he met with former US President Carter, the secretary prepared a pre-written note for him, telling him that if Carter's question is long, then read it all, and if he asks short, read the previous part. Later, Carter really asked shortly. The secretary crossed out the contents behind and handed it to Brezhnev. Brezhnev asked in confusion: "Do I still read the ones behind?" This made Carter laugh and cry. This news was widely circulated as a joke. But if you think about it carefully, it was Brezhnev who was at the mercy of others like a puppet.
"Who is controlling all this? Is it Secretary Andropov?" Kololev asked in a low voice. The stimulation brought to him by this incident was too great. He always thought that Secretary Xie Lieping's depression was due to General Bo's suppression, but he did not expect that General Bo was also a puppet.
Sherepin looked at Andropov, Gorbachev, and Grishin in the distance and said sadly: "It's all of them!"
Sherepin and the others quickly walked to the car. Just before getting on the car, Sherepin grabbed Kololev's hand and said, "You have to help this young man. Although he is a political idiot, his situation is very good at the moment. Churbanov is his good friend. Andropov appreciates him very much, and he himself is very capable. As long as he wants to do something, the resistance will definitely be much smaller. Kololev, I have no hope in my life, but you are still young. If you still want to do something, cooperate with this young man!"
