War Photographer's Notebook

Under the shroud of drizzle, the library pretended to be open when it was closed on Monday.

Looking around, the "Inta athletes" who rarely took off their Adidas sportswear on the twenties and put on other kinds of serious attire and hair colors are sitting in twos and threes around the solid wood long chairs in the library. Around the table, or manipulating the notebook and tapping the keyboard lightly, or wearing headphones to seriously look at the old books borrowed from the surrounding bookshelves, or finding a tank turret that serves as a seat with a partner of the opposite sex to sit down, each Holding a cup of coffee and chatting lightly.

Of course, if anyone expects these brawny brats with gang dreams to start studying hard, everyone, including Jima, will doubt whether he has Polish ancestry.

In fact, these little bastards pretending to be dogs in the library are just the background board Sui Sui used her "Queen Inta" to find for Wei Ran.

Also used as the background was Sui Xin who specially changed into Hanfu.

On the small wooden stage on the side of the library bar, this girl was sitting on the edge of the piano table, stroking the deep spring of the guqin, and playing a rather soothing and pleasant old tune.

And at the side of the table originally reserved for Teacher Dalia and others, Wei Ran, who had changed into a formal suit, was accepting an interview arranged by Kazan University with fluent answers.

The content of this interview is simple and straightforward. The first questions are mainly about his achievements, the historical photos he discovered, and the film he directed. A university experience for all the senses.

As the saying goes, using people's money to eliminate disasters, Wei Ran is very clear. Once this interview is broadcast, he has actually studied at Kazan University. If anyone doubts it at that time, there is no need for him Open your mouth, Kazan University will roll up your arms and sleeves, and give skeptics a dozen fake big mouths.

Because of this, he naturally also praised Kazan University, which had never been to Kazan University, in this question and answer, and even made up some old-fashioned but touching stories between him and Mr. Kajik. little story.

In addition, he also put a piece of gold from the boss on the faces of several school leaders who had never met but were reminded by Kajik before the interview.

It took most of the afternoon to successfully complete this interview that satisfies most people. The beautiful female reporter who took money to do things finally took a group photo with Wei Ran and "musician Ms. Sui Xin". It was only then that she and Bo Ying made Ji Jinzhi's super early lottery, and then she and Wei Ying left the library as a commemoration of her and Wei Ying's World War II photo album.

This is only the afternoon of the third day when Kajik agreed to accept an interview and study for a doctoral degree, but these three days were fully arranged by Kajik. He spent most of the day yesterday under Kajik's arrangement, and a Petersburg The colleagues who came here exchanged their views on the Battle of Stalingrad, as well as some minor mistakes in an article published by Kajik in his own name.

But today, not only was he woke up early in the morning and rushed to the school to take pictures with various people, but he also spent the whole afternoon dealing with the astonishingly flattering interview just now.

"Are you tired?" Sui Sui smiled and took the tie that Wei Ran had just torn off from his neck.

"No, it's been a long time since I flattered so hard." Wei Ran laughed at himself, looked up at the punks who lined up in front of Lola and Anfeya in the distance and asked curiously, "Where are they? What are you doing?" "Getting a salary"

Sui Sui said with a smile, "[-] rubles per person and two seafood hot pots, this time I've spent all my money."

"It really cost money"

Wei Ran followed the other party to the next yard and asked, "What did you talk to the person in charge of Kazan University just now?"

"Short-term study abroad, seven days at a time." Sui Sui said with a smile, "There are also holidays, 15 days at a time."

"Can this stuff make money? Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Wei Ran patted his forehead, of course it can make money!
When he was in his high school summer vacation,
But I have participated in this kind of summer camp in the name of short-term study abroad more than once. The only difference is that I went to the university where Professor Alexey worked.

As for the effect... Although the only thing he received every time was "Maomei's legs are really white and her body smells really big", but after failing the college entrance examination, he was sent directly to the school full of bedbugs in the dormitory for four years. the University.

"Looks like you remembered something"

Sui Sui let Wei Ran hold up an umbrella to cover the rain curtain above his head, happily embraced the latter's arm, and said as he walked to the next door, "Let's not talk about this, there are guests waiting for you at home."

"Guest?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, "Lawyer Carlos?" "Not just lawyer Carlos"

Sui Sui followed Wei Ran as she walked home and explained, "There is also an entourage of Miss Kou and Miss Yingying." An entourage of Miss Kou and Miss Kou Kou

"There's no one else?" Wei Ran simply slowed down his pace a little, "Did they not say anything about their visit?"

"It's just those three people. They didn't say what they came for, but they definitely came for you."

Sui Sui also slowed down and explained, "It was less than half an hour since they arrived, and you were being interviewed at that time."

"Then let's go and see what they do here."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ran quickened his pace again, walked through the yard where many flowers had been planted, and pushed open the gate of the villa.

"Victor, we meet again." Carlos' lawyer Wei Ran greeted enthusiastically.

"I've been waiting for you to come over"

Wei Ran first greeted Lawyer Carlos in German, and then switched to French, and Kou Kou, who was holding a fox with big ears in his arms, and Ms. Horta, the legal counsel of the Elk Foundation who had met once. They said hello to each other.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you"

Lawyer Carlos shook hands with Wei Ran, and after sitting down again, he said, "I wanted to introduce you to a business, but the other party seems to have some concerns and hasn't made a decision yet."

"It's okay." Wei Ran quickly waved his hand, "Your friend, you are welcome to come over anytime."

"I'm glad you can say that"

Carlos paused, then changed the subject and explained with a smile, "We are here this time mainly for Miss Coco's affairs."

"Is there anything I can do?" Wei Ran asked curiously. "That's right, Kou Kou decided to study jewelry design three days ago." Lawyer Carlos explained gently, "In the fall of this year, she will go to study at the Artists Association College in Paris."

"This is a good thing." Although Wei Ran didn't know why, he deliberately changed into French and sent sincere blessings to Kou Kou who was teasing the big-eared fox.

"It's really a good thing, and it's also a good thing for you." Lawyer Carlos paused again for a moment, and then he spoke out Koko's plan to help Wei Ran run the *** jewelry company in the future.

Before Wei Ran could speak, Kou Kou also took the initiative to say, "Mr. Victor, I actually can't spend 100 million US dollars a year, or even 50 US dollars. So I plan to invest 70 US dollars a year. Go to your jewelry store, um... that... make money together, don't you know if it's okay?" "You want to inject capital into my jewelry store?" Wei Ran asked in surprise. "It's better than putting it in the bank, isn't it?" Kou Kou gently stroked the little fox in her arms and said, "Before I graduate from college, I will invest 70 US dollars in your jewelry store every year. You can You can decide how many shares you want to give me, or you can give me no shares at all, but in this case, you need to return the money I invested in when I graduate from college.”

"Equivalent to providing me with an interest-free loan?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"right"

Kou Kou nodded, "correspondingly, I hope that I can manage your jewelry company in the future. Of course, it is best to give me a job as a chief jewelry designer."

"Promise her, this is a smart girl."

Sui Sui, who had been listening to Anfisa's translation just now, reminded Wei Ran in extremely fast Chinese before Wei Ran could speak, "Give her 5%...no! 10%! Give her [-]%
Ten percent of the equity, no matter how much she invests in the future, it is ten percent.In addition, she was given the job of chief jewelry designer, except for personnel appointment, raw material procurement and pricing power, and the rest can be handed over to her when she decides to work. "

"10% equity." Wei Ran repeated Sui Sui's suggestion like a parrot without a brain.

"Deal!" Kou Kou stretched out his hand to Sui Sui who was sitting next to Wei Ran.

Seeing that the two girls had been chatting about the topic just now under the translation of Anfisa, Carlos also winked at Wei Ran.

Seeing this, Wei Ran got up quietly, led the other party to the small living room on the second floor, and made another cup of coffee for the other party.

"Victor, I wanted to introduce you to a big business." Carlos said with great regret, "but the old woman finally rejected my kindness."

"Tell me what's going on." Wei Ran tore open a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the other party. "thanks"

Carlos took the cigarette case, lit one on his own, and then explained, "I can't reveal the woman's name, so we'll use... well, let's use Cinderella instead."

"Okay, what's the situation with this Cinderella?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"Her husband was in the Vietnam War and was a helicopter pilot."

Carlos spread his hands, "Just like in the movie, his helicopter crashed and he was captured, but unfortunately, there was no Rambo to rescue them."

"and then?"

"It wasn't until the second year after the end of the Vietnam War that her husband came back. Yes, that's right, he came back alive and intact."

Seeing that Wei Ran had nothing to ask, Carlos continued puffing, "What happened afterwards was nothing special, Cinderella reunited with her husband, had a child, and her career developed very well.

But last Christmas, Cinderella's husband passed away suddenly.It was nothing, but on the day of his funeral, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the funeral, claiming that he was the illegitimate child of Cinderella's husband during the difficult capture. "

"Bastard child?" Wei Ran asked with a strange expression, "How did he find it?"

"It doesn't matter how he got here"

Carlos spread his hands, "The important thing is that he has a will distribution written by Cinderella's husband. If the distribution is made according to this will, Ms. Cinderella needs to hand over at least a quarter of the company run by her and her husband Give it away, that’s a lot of money.”

"and then?"

Wei Ran said with a look that he had expected a long time ago, "I don't believe that Cinderella will give up her crystal slipper."

"of course not"

Carlos exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, "This lawsuit has been going on for five months, and Cinderella's son even bribed several Mexicans to try to kill the middle-aged man who robbed the property."

"Failed?" "Failed"

Carlos said helplessly, "That bastard has gone into hiding, and now only his attorney is showing up."

"so…"

Wei Ran tentatively asked, "Cinderella wants to find out if her husband really had an illegitimate child during the Vietnam War? Isn't it enough to do a paternity test for this kind of thing?"

"The cremation chosen by her husband has already been burned to ashes." Carlos spread his hands, "I can't even use Cinderella's son to do a blood test with that bastard who came out. That person is hiding too well, There is no way to get a DNA sample.”

"with all due respect"

Wei Ran also lit a cigarette, "Mr. Carlos, I'm a historian, but I'm not an expert in genetics or criminal investigation. I'm afraid I can't help you with this kind of thing."

"Ms. Cinderella said almost the same thing as you." Lawyer Carlos shook his head helplessly, "I thought you could help Mr. Dominique find an heir in such a short time, and you must be able to help Ms. Cinderella very easily... "

"That's different"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Wei Ran pretended to be helpless and explained, "If you didn't sign it at the beginning, then

A non-disclosure agreement, I can explain how to find Miss Kou Kou in just one sentence, but there is no way, I don't want to leak the secret, and then get caught by you, a notorious American lawyer. "

Hearing this, Lawyer Carlos shrugged helplessly, "Forget it, I don't want to know how you found it, but leave me some mystery, just like magic performed by a magician, it's boring after you know the principle gone."

"Indeed"

Wei Ran nodded and took the initiative to change the subject, "But what's the matter with you? Why is it always related to the issue of inheritance?"

"Of course it's because of the money"

Carlos explained as a matter of course, "I helped Mr. Dominique and I got more than 200 million commissions. If I can help Ms. Cinderella win that lawsuit or find key clues, my net income this year may be It can break through 500 million."

"Does being a lawyer make so much money?" Wei Ran asked in surprise. "It's not about making money as a lawyer"

Carlos lowered his voice pretending to be mysterious, and said in the lingering smoke, "It should be said that it is only profitable to be a lawyer for the rich, especially the troubles related to inheritance issues are the most profitable.

Just like Ms. Cinderella we mentioned just now, in order to preserve an inheritance worth more than 3000 million US dollars, she absolutely does not mind spending 500 million US dollars to hire a team of lawyers enough to help her win the lawsuit. "

That's what he said... Wei Ran nodded involuntarily, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little moved.

But after the heartbeat, he quickly calmed down. The money in the Vietnam War was not so easy to earn. Let alone whether the mysterious Cinderella was willing to pay him to investigate, and the Vietnam War would say everywhere The trees in the Vietnamese language made him have no intention of earning money that he would spend his life on.

So instead of taking that risk, he might as well think about it as soon as possible.It would be safer to help Mrs. Margot find her outlaw elite son.
