Alexey is really helpless. Sometimes he feels that Li Xiao and Leonid are the magic stars in his life. Otherwise, why would God arrange for these two people to become his confidants. Each of these two people are extremely smart.
Each one of them is very persistent and never gives in on his principles. To allow these two people to be his friends, does this mean that his hairline is too low?
Alexey, who was somewhat bald, found Leonid and persuaded him earnestly: "Lonya, you have to give me some people, no matter how much you have. I am really short of manpower here, and we have contributed money and effort, but you have not received a dime."
, this is inappropriate!"
Leonid rolled his eyes at Alexey's request, and asked coldly: "Andreka asked you to come, right?"
Alexey was stunned for a moment. It was not that he was surprised that Leonid could guess the truth, but that the tone of Leonid's words was a bit wrong. How should I put it? A bit indignant, a bit annoyed and a bit heartbroken.
Alexei could only say: "Don't care who asked me to come, just decide whether to give it to others or not!"
Leonid said coldly: "What if I don't give it?"
Alexey smiled bitterly and sighed: "Then I can only tell you that the literacy program will be terminated, and the Governor's Office will not allocate another penny!"
Leonid suddenly became angry and asked: "How come you have changed and are now standing with Andreka!"
Alexey quickly said: "You misunderstood, I am not speaking for Andrei, but it is a bit too much for you not to let anyone go, and it would not be acceptable to anyone else! Let me put it this way, Vlach
The Asia-Pacific region is short of talent, especially reliable talent. Most of the government officials, large and small, are either idlers or fence-sitters and cannot be relied upon at all!"
Alexei sighed as he spoke: "You may not know how worried I am after every decree of mine is issued. I am really worried that these unreliable guys will turn my good intentions into a tool for them to make money. You
Can you understand this feeling?"
Leonid frowned and said, "If it's you who wants someone, fine, I'll give you a few, no problem, but if it's Andreka who wants someone, none of them!"
Alexey was shocked. He blurted out and asked: "Why?"
Leonid snorted coldly: "You think I don't know what Andreka has been doing in the past two years? He is just doing evil things! The talents we have managed to cultivate cannot be left to him to waste. This is simply blasphemy.
As a noble honor, I will never allow my subordinates to become thieves who steal other people’s privacy! This is too shameful!”
Alexey sighed again. He finally understood the source of the rigid relationship between Leonid and someone. Who makes Leonid a saint? There is simply no way for a person like him to be old-fashioned. Sometimes even
His good friend felt that Leonid was a bit old-fashioned.
"I don't want to defend Andreka. Maybe some of his actions are a bit excessive in your opinion..."
Leonid screamed before Alexei finished speaking, and he roared: "What do you mean it's a little too much?! Alyosha, you were not like this before. Where is your sense of honor? Your nobility
What about your character? Why have you become as filthy as Andreka now!"
Alexey sighed, feeling really tired: "I can understand your concerns, but I have to say, do you really have a misunderstanding about Andreka?"
"Where is the misunderstanding!" Leonid suddenly became angry and roared: "What is the difference between what he did and a thief who steals privacy? Are you still prepared to defend him?"
Alexei spread his hands and said: "I am not trying to defend, nor am I prepared to excuse myself. Maybe Andreka's actions are indeed questionable and not morally impeccable, but it is also out of helplessness!"
Leonid couldn't listen at all, and still shouted: "There is no help! Can't he survive as a thief? He just wants to take shortcuts!"
Now Alexei couldn't stand it anymore, and he immediately retorted: "Do you know how difficult it has been for us in the past three years? Our enemies are always designing plots and preparing to oust me. If not,
Andreka, I can no longer serve as governor for a long time, and it is even possible that I have been exiled to Siberia and become a savage!"
Leonid was suddenly startled and looked at Alexey suspiciously, as if he wanted to find any trace of his friend lying.
But Alexey was very calm, his eyes were firm and his expression was natural, because every word he said was true. He only heard him sigh: "Look, you really don't know anything. You are just like Andre
What Leka said is like living in the purest ivory tower or paradise. You don't care what our enemies are doing. You only know that no one can cross your rules, even for the most noble reasons.
Can!"
Leonid was stunned because this was the first time Alexei spoke to him like this. To be honest, it was a bit strange and made him a little angry, as if he had been betrayed by his wife.
"You're still not convinced!" Alexey sighed again and said with a wry smile: "Do you think it's easy for me to be the governor, and that everything I changed in Wallachia is without hindrance?"
Leonid did not speak, but his expression showed that he probably thought so. Alexey shook his head again and said: "You may not know that there are countless people in St. Petersburg or Bucharest.
They don’t like me or the changes I’ve made, and they are constantly trying to criticize me or frame me. If we do nothing, you will be familiar with the consequences. I may very well be the next Decembrist!”
Leonid's face was a bit stern, or a bit ugly. Even he knew the outcome of the Decembrists. But he was still unconvinced, thinking that even if there were enemies with conspiracies, they should be dealt with openly and head-on.
repel!
Alexey shook his head and sighed: "You really don't know how many our enemies are and how powerful they are. If it weren't for Andreka's advance preparation and the fact that they are not monolithic, we would have been finished long ago...
Only you have the courage to defeat them head-on! My friend, tell me, do you have the courage to oppose His Majesty and the Imperial Minister head-on? Or do you think that you alone can change thousands of Russians?
Year’s tradition?”
Alexei became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked directly at Leonid and asked loudly: "Tell me, do you have such courage?"
