Radiation Secret

Chapter 517 – Gathering Talents

"Ms. Antonina Makarova? We are willing to compensate for this bag of flour." Zhou Qingfeng stood up at the right time and said in English: "Can you give me some time? I would like to ask you for a favor."

"I'm Antonina Makarova, but after you pay me for this sack of flour, you can go away. Don't I want to help you?" The old woman has been in the KGB all her life, and she is more vigilant than ordinary people Looking at Zhou Qingfeng's tall and burly figure, he naturally became defensive.

Chekov, who just got up from the ground, took the initiative to shout: "This is a reporter from China. He probably wants to interview you. You are a hero of the Soviet Union. I am very happy to meet you." Russian added, "You can ask him for interview fees, this guy is very rich."

Perhaps the smiling face and admiration of the young Chekhov are more friendly, or the interview fee is more irrational. Antonina Makarova glanced at Zhou Qingfeng and quickly judged that he was the person in charge. She grabbed the broken flour bag, shook her head, and said, "Come with me, my house hasn't been cleaned up for a long time."

Chekov was about to follow Antonina Makarova into the Tongzilou, but Zhou Qingfeng grabbed him by the shoulder and handed him a stack of dollars, "Go and buy some food, buy more." [

After sending Chekhov away, Zhou Qingfeng followed Antonina Makarova into her residential building. This house is estimated to be over 50 years old and lacks maintenance. The corridors are very dilapidated, and many wooden handrails are missing.

Antonina Makarova's home is on the sixth floor. The room is quite big, but it is very messy and the furniture is very old. After putting down the flour and oil, the old woman casually walked to a table , looked at Zhou Qingfeng who was still standing at the door, and asked, "Okay, young man, tell me why you are here, but let me remind you, don't talk about those deceptive nonsense."

Zhou Qingfeng was looking at a row of old photos on the wall and various medals in photo frames. The gold star medal representing the Hero of the Soviet Union was on the list, and it was simply placed there, "It's so beautiful. It is said that you are here because He was awarded this honor for his service in Afghanistan."

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. If you don't show your intention, I will have to drive you away."

"Then can you put down the 'Stechkin' first? You won't need it."

Antonina Makarova kept her eyes fixed on Zhou Qingfeng, but she took out her hand hiding behind the table, pointed the gun at Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "How do you know this is a 'Stecchi'?" gold'?"

Zhou Qingfeng avoided talking, "I want to hire you to work for me. I need the capabilities you used in the Afghan battlefield."

"I think you've got the wrong guy, I'm 67 years old, I can't even finish training, I'm just an old woman now."

Not being directly rejected, Zhou Qingfeng knew it well, "The job I offer you does not require you to be too young, I value your experience more. I spent money to buy some combat records about you. An intelligence officer actually has the ability to command a special unit, which makes me the most fancy."

"who are you?"

"I can pay you one hundred thousand dollars a month."

"Young man, I don't think you know what intelligence work is? At least you've exposed it now."

"I'm not asking you to accept it, but I think you need a better job."

What Zhou Qingfeng said was straightforward, but it was obviously not enough to impress the veteran agent in front of her. Antonina Makarova's eyes were full of mockery. If Zhou Qingfeng hadn't seen Zhou Qingfeng's burly and vigorous figure, he would have beaten him all over his head and covered his head. Get out.

"I'm not interested in your work, you can go." Antonina Makarova ordered the eviction.

At this moment, Chekov came in with a smile on his face, holding two big bags of food in his hand, the most important thing was a dozen bottles of vodka, "What are you talking about?"

"Ms. Makarova is unwilling to accept my exclusive interview. I am very sorry."

"Oh...!" Chekov put the food on the table, full of regret, but he said for Antonina Makarova: "Maybe the aunt doesn't want us to disturb her life, we should respect her."

"Yes, I'm not going to force it. I want to find my next interview target now." Zhou Qingfeng brought the topic to Antonina Makarova again, "Would you like to be a guide for me? I'll give you five Thousands of dollars in compensation.” [

Chekov stared at Lao Yuan, and his own salary was only three thousand dollars.

He breathed a sigh of relief when Antonina Makarova replied, "I refuse, you can go."

Zhou Qingfeng said that he didn't force it, and he put a thousand dollars on the table, "I'm sorry to bother you, this is flour to compensate you."

Chekhov felt that his employer was a little stupid. The thousand dollars was enough to buy a whole room of flour.

Coming out of the tube building, Chekhov followed Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "You just gave up like this? I think you can try again, maybe come back in two days, and the aunt agrees to your interview. Maybe I can help You are in touch, only a small fee is required."

"Oh, no, Ms. Antonina Makarova is not the one I have to interview, but my next target is."

What Zhou Qingfeng said was mysterious, which made Chekov a little confused.

It’s just that when the two walked to the second-hand Toyota, the door on the sixth floor of the Tongzi Building suddenly opened, and Aunt Antonina Makarova’s loud voice came down from above, “If it’s just a guide, I can agree, but I ask for [-] dollars.” Half of the reward is paid in advance. If you dare to use any tricks, I will break your bones!"

Zhou Qingfeng happened to have a road administration postbox next to him. He suddenly punched the postbox, and the iron postbox was punched with a hole the size of a fist. At the same time, he raised his head and said to Antonina Makarova, "I think you may Can't stop breaking my bones."

Antonina Makarova's expression was stunned, and Chekov exaggeratedly shouted: "Wow, Chinese Kung Fu, this mailbox is made of iron." He tried to punch it himself, but hugged in pain. Raise your fist and yell.

Soon, the old woman came out of the house. She first looked at the smashed mailbox, then at Chekov's fist, and after finding out that there was nothing serious, she said, "Okay, young man, your There is nothing serious about your hands, go to the hospital and apply ice, and you can go."

"Uh... wait, what do you mean?" Chekov said in a daze while holding his fists.

"It means that our employment contract has been terminated. This is your remaining commission. I'll give you a little more. You don't need to thank me." Zhou Qingfeng stuffed a stack of dollars into Chekhov's hand.

"Hey, hey, you can't do this, Mr. Hugo, you can't be serious, right? She's just an old woman, and I know Moscow better than her." Chekhov jumped up angrily, he had already seen that Zhou Qingfeng was a generous man. Lord, but now a good deal has been robbed.

Antonina Makarova led Zhou Qingfeng to the outside of the residential area, turned her head and said to Chekhov as she walked, "Young man, I am doing it for your own good! Believe me, this man is not a good employer."

Zhou Qingfeng also nodded in cooperation.

Leaving poor Chekhov alone next to his second-hand Toyota, completely clueless about what's going on?

Antonina Makarova has an old Lada sedan, which has been parked in the garage for many years due to financial constraints.But Lao Maozi's things have a characteristic, they are strong and durable, after Zhou Qingfeng paid for it to add oil to it, it still runs fast.

Antonina Makarova drove the car on the road almost purposefully, and then came to ask Zhou Qingfeng, "Well, young man, before I lose patience, you'd better tell the truth."

"I'm going to find this person." Zhou Qingfeng took out another file from his bag.

Antonina Makarova took a few glances and said, "Galita Konekova, what do you want her for?"

"Do you know who she is?" [

"Of course I know that a theoretical physicist, an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, mainly studies quantum mechanics, superconductors and superfluids. She once won the Stalin Prize, the Merit Medal and the Labor Red Banner Medal. She was once a national treasure of the Soviet Union. But even if she is alive, At least over 80 years old."

"88 years old, to be exact."

"Then why are you looking for her? You also want to hire her? I'm afraid she is too old to walk, so she can only stay in a nursing home."

"You are right. We found out where she is now. She is indeed in a nursing home."

Antonina Makarova looked at Zhou Qingfeng like she was looking crazy.But for the sake of money, she still drove Zhou Qingfeng to the nursing home where Galita Konekova was.

The nurse heard that they were here to visit Galita Konekova, so she didn't ask much, but took the two of them directly to Galita Konekova's ward.

Walking slowly into the quiet and clean ward, what Zhou Qingfeng saw was an old lady wearing reading glasses, thinning hair, and thin body, who was playing chess with herself in a wheelchair.

The nurse went up to Koniekova and said: "Someone is here to see you."

"I've already taken the 'medicine', so don't bother me." The old lady couldn't even hold the chess piece firmly, but waved the nurse impatiently to leave.

"Can I talk to her alone?" Zhou Qingfeng handed a few dollars to the nurse, who smiled and left.

"I don't understand, what are you trying to do? She's already demented!" Antonina Makarova felt a little crazy, or nervous, and the young man in front of her didn't seem to be able to do anything bad, maybe What a reporter.

When Galita Koniekova saw the nurses leaving, she immediately retorted at Antonina Makarova: "You are the only one with dementia, I just don't like these nurses bothering me." She said again: "Young man, Come on, come on, no matter what you are here for, play a game of chess with me first, no one here can play chess."

Zhou Qingfeng couldn't understand Russian, but at any rate Antonina Makarova translated, and Galita Koniekova quickly talked to him in English.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't understand chess, but Galita Konekova briefly said the rules, and the old and the young started to play around the chessboard.

In the first set, Zhou Qingfeng lost quickly.

In the second set, Zhou Qingfeng persisted a little longer.

After ten games, Galita Konekova couldn't win at all. Later, the old lady quit, moved the board one, and said: "It seems that I am really old, I can't move, my hands are shaking, His eyes have been blurred for a long time, and now even his brain has become stupid, and he really has reached the point where he wants to leave this world.

Well, young man, thank you for coming with me, what do you want me for? "

"Perhaps I can help you to stand up again, to be agile again, to have sharp eyes again, and to think quickly again."

The old lady waved her hands and said, "This is the best joke I've heard in recent years, but you're not God!"

"God can't come down to earth, but I can."
