War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 574 Ms. Karenina Testifies
On the day when Katenka called, Wei Ran, who had already landed at Tyumen Airport, immediately took a taxi and went west along the Tula River to visit the small town named "Kamenka" again. City.

Encouraged by Wei Ran with an extra large amount of rubles, the taxi happily left the main road under the guidance of the passengers, drove straight into the forest on the edge of the city, and finally stopped at a muddy intersection.

"Wait here for me"

Before Wei Ran got out of the car, he took out another five thousand rubles and handed it to the taxi driver in his forties, "I may come back soon, and I will take your car back to the airport. At that time, you will have nothing but the return trip In addition to the rear of the car, there is not only another [-] rubles as a tip, but besides that, you can get [-] rubles for every hour you wait."

The taxi driver took the banknote from Wei Ran's hand, "For the sake of rubles, I can wait for you until the sun goes down."

"No problem." Wei Ran opened the car door while speaking.

This is the second time he has come to this place. The last time he came, he sent the old man named Karenina back.

Following his memory, Wei Ran stepped on the mud, walked slowly along the gravel road that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and finally walked into the long-forgotten cemetery.

From a long distance, he saw a girl in a bohemian dress standing quietly in front of Karenina's tombstone, with a light blue canvas backpack at her feet .

As they got closer, Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, he was sure that the girl with short light blonde hair was indeed Katenka.

It's just that, compared with the previous meetings, this time she has no makeup, and she doesn't look like she's wearing a wig. The appearance of a parrot becoming a sperm.

While Wei Ran was looking at Kajianka, Kajianka cast his gaze behind Wei Ran.

Subconsciously looking back, Wei Ran asked curiously, "Did you date someone else?"

Katenka shrugged, sat down against Karenina's tombstone, and said to himself, "I just thought you would bring others over."

"Others?" Wei Ran looked at each other in confusion, "You mean Aurora?"

"Aurora?"

Katenka smiled and said frankly, "I thought you would lead someone to arrest me and send me to Lubyanka or some other similar place."

"Send you to Lubyanka?"

Wei Ran was stunned for a moment, shaking his head dumbfounded, "Let's not talk about whether I, a Chinese, have the ability to send you to Lubyanka. At least, why should I send you to Lubyanka? You bombed Aurora Did the cruiser bomb the Kremlin?"

"What do I fry them for?" Katenka subconsciously responded.

"That's right, why should I take you to Lubyanka?" Wei Ran spread his hands, "I've never been to Lubyanka."

"Aren't you calling me back to Russia in the name of Aurora to catch me?"

"What did you catch you for?"

Wei Ran asked helplessly, no matter how stupid he was at this time, he had already understood that this girl whose IQ and appearance were not on the same line was definitely misunderstood.

"Then you use Aurora"

"First of all, I didn't trick you into Russia in the name of my girlfriend"

Wei Ran corrected the other party without waiting for the other party to finish speaking. At the same time, he did not forget to open the backpack, took out a bunch of sunflowers from it and placed it in front of Karenina's grave, "It's just that my girlfriend fell in love with your ability to work, so I plan to have you as her assistant, that's all."

"Can"

"in addition"

Wei Ran interrupted what the other party was about to say again, and continued to take out a bottle of vodka bought at the airport from his bag, and the three swallow tablets that he bought together by the way, and placed them in front of the tomb. After sitting cross-legged, he poured wine into it while Continued, "Ms. Karenina testifies, what I said in the email I sent you is also true. You can go to work for my girlfriend, or you can continue to stay at the Gubijing Pasta Restaurant, or live as you want. You can live whatever you want.”

After a slight pause, Wei Ran handed one of the glasses of wine to Katenka, picked up a glass himself, touched the clean tombstone lightly, gestured to Katenka, and drank it in one gulp Jin continued leisurely, "The only difference is that if you work for my girlfriend, she will pay you in the future. If you choose to stay at Gubijing Pasta Restaurant, I will pay you. If you choose If you live the life you like, then you can only find a job you like to make money to support yourself.

Of course, since you have helped me many times before, if you choose to let me think about it, please describe it like this!
If you choose to start your own business, I can lend you 200,000 or [-] euros as start-up capital.Of course, remember to return this money to me when your financial conditions are relatively good. After all, it is not easy for me to earn money. "

Seeing Katenka's eyes widen, Wei Ran poured a glass of wine on his own, and touched Ms. Karenina's tombstone again, "Look, the name Karenina is engraved on the tombstone, Just like I promised you back then, so I'm not joking this time either."

Katenka, who was holding a wine glass, was silent for a moment, but instead of drinking the wine in the glass, he looked straight at Wei Ran and asked, "Why?"

"what why?"

Katenka poured the vodka from the cup into her mouth, and then choked and coughed again and again, but even so, she insisted on asking, "Why are I suddenly given so many choices?"

"You are not as good at drinking vodka as I am a Chinese"

Wei Ran teased the other party, seeing the seriousness written on the other party's pretty face, he could only sigh helplessly in the end, and after some hesitation, when Karenina's ashes were buried here, what did she say? A brief description of what Gula said, as well as the relationship between himself and Nicholas.

"Frankly, I'm just a fairly well-known historian."

Wei Ran spread his hands, "Mr. Nicholas I mentioned just now is my half-teacher, just like what he said at the beginning, he can trust Ms. Karenina, but he can't trust you.

But because of his friendship with Karenina, no, no, maybe they should be called revolutionary friendship.

Anyway, whatever it is, for Lady Karenina's sake he entrusted you into my care, but in fact."

"Actually you don't need my help?"

Katenka threw aside the Tun Cup that he had been playing with all the time, picked up the vodka bottle placed between the two of them and took a big gulp, and then he was choked up and coughed again and again, so much so that he even coughed up tears come out.

"You can't say that." Wei Ran grinned, "I said it just now, you helped me a lot."

"Are you really not going to send me to Lubyanka?" Katenka asked, putting down the bottle.

Wei Ran spread his hands, "Or can you give me a reason why I must send you to Lubyanka?"

"What Mom Said"

Katenka stroked the tombstone and said as a matter of course, "She said that when I was recalled for any reason, it must be because I made a fatal mistake."

Seeing that the topic came back to the original point, Wei Ran looked at the setting sun that was two fingers away from the treetops, and said in a helpless tone, "Kajianka, if you don't trust what I said, why not take this opportunity to live in Russia Just hang around. As long as you don't kill and set fire, I guess no one will bother you.

Of course, since you are a pretty girl, I can't guarantee that there will be no men trying to trick you, after all, even Moscow's law and order is not very good. "

"I'll walk around Russia and see"

Katenka stood up unsteadily, then picked up the backpack, took out a palm-sized notebook from it, and handed it to Wei Ran, "If what you said is true, maybe I will do it for you. Girlfriend works."

"The choice is up to you, but what is this?" Wei Ran shook the notebook in his hand and asked.

"If in the end I choose to work for your girlfriend, it's a condition that needs to be met for me."

"May I take a look at it?"

Seeing Ka Jianka nodded, Wei Ran opened the notebook, and with just a glance, he saw a bank card fixed on the inside of the notebook cover with tape.

If there is no accident, this card should be the one that Nicholas asked him to give to the other party.

Looking up at Kajianka, Wei Ran turned a page back, and when he saw the requirements recorded on the page, his expression became more and more strange.

No cooking work, own room, no mandatory dress, can play games at any time, have at least 8 days of vacation every month, and provide a meal of spicy rabbit head every week.Look at the last one again, it actually says "you can have your own name"!
"That's all?" Wei Ran dully returned the notebook in his hand to the other party.

"The wages are the same as before," Katenka added verbally.

"Although I have never looked for a job, I know these requests are definitely not normal."

Wei Ran shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "But these requests are nothing, I promise you first on behalf of my girlfriend, and when you plan to work for her, you can contact her at any time."

Having said that, Wei Ran patted his forehead and added, "As for the salary, you can take whatever she is willing to pay you. Besides, I will give you an extra salary. The amount is the same as before. But there are two requirements."

"What request?" asked Katenka, frowning.

"I will keep your salary a secret from my girlfriend"

Wei Ran said with a smile, "She is very sensitive in matters related to banknotes. Of course, this does not mean that she is stingy, but I am sure that there is a high probability that she will not be able to pay a monthly salary of [-] euros."

"What about the second request?" Katenka asked in a flat tone.

"Take good care of her as much as possible, and help her as much as possible under legal conditions."

Wei Ran spread his hands, "She is just an ordinary girl, although she always has all kinds of weird ideas, but on the premise of using bare hands, there is a high probability that she can't even beat a disabled person, so if you can work for her, at least I don't have to worry about it." Her safety is in question."

"When I decide to work for her, I will agree to these two requests."

Katenka stroked Karenina's tombstone and reminded, "Maybe I'll go back to Gupijing Pasta Restaurant."

"whatever"

Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he got up and walked to the outside of the cemetery. At the same time, he did not forget to ask, "The taxi that brought me is right outside. Do you need me to take you to the city?"

"No need," Katenka replied absent-mindedly.

Wei Ran finally said without turning his head, "There is no need to send any emails in the future, it will be too troublesome, and no one will be interested in the conversation between us."

"Thank you," Katenka said in an erratic tone.

Wei Ran, whose back was turned to Katenka, smiled, and continued to walk out while saying, "Kajianka, your current appearance is much more comfortable than that of the parrot before."
