Chapter 171 Rent a House

Bingcheng, main street · Consulate General of Soviet Russia in Bingcheng.

The main color in the corridor is always mysterious and low-key.

In the middle of the night, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside Arman's office. It was Lyudmila, the confidential secretary. Her graceful figure carried a light fragrance.

The knee-length skirt was rolled in.

Alman raised his head and glanced at the goblin who fascinated all the men in the consulate general. He couldn't help wondering whether it was a wrong decision for him to promote her as a confidential secretary.

"Mr. Arman, the top-secret telegram from the Far East Intelligence Bureau indicates that you must translate it yourself." Lyudmila took out a newly copied telegram from the folder and handed it to Arman.

"Oh, I see, you go out." Arman took the telegram, glanced at it, and then told Lyudmila to go out.

"Yes."

After Lyudmila left, Arman bent down, opened the drawer under the desk, and took out a gray book.

After the telegram was translated, Arman read it carefully again, picked up the matchbox on the table, lit the telegram and the translated telegram on it, and put it in the ashtray on the table, where it quickly turned into ashes.

"The chess piece is in place, and there is no regret when you drop the piece."

……

Khabarovsk, Amur Hotel.

Waking up early in the morning, Zhou Sen tidied up, took the quilt and pillow back to the bedroom, and found that Anna was not there.

Where did you go this early in the morning?

Zhou Sen murmured in his heart, everyone has freedom, and he never thought of chaining Anna to her all day long.

After all, apart from assisting him to complete the task, Anna also has another duty, which is to monitor herself, and he doesn't know if Saburo Shibuya will give her any special tasks.

It's hard to say.

He shaves, brushes his teeth, washes his face, and cleans himself up. He is a doctor, and he is from the United States. He is a successful person among the elite.

Can't be sloppy.

There was a "creak".

The door was opened with a key from the outside, and the sound of footsteps should indicate that Anna had returned.

"Did you get up early enough?" Zhou Sen came out wiping his face, and saw Anna coming in with a bag of things.

"Get up early, go out to get some fresh air, and buy some food along the way. The environment here is really nice, and the people are friendly." Anna said as she put the bag on the coffee table.

"What did you buy to eat?"

"Pancakes, whole wheat bread, yogurt, pickles, and hot sauce." Anna said, "Eat it if you like it, and if you don't like it, keep it."

"Well, you bought them all, how can I not appreciate it." Zhou Sen walked over, opened the bag, and took out the food one by one.

Zhou Sen used to eat this kind of pancake a lot, and Irina can also make it, and it's also very delicious, but if you eat it every day, you will definitely get bored.

But if you haven't eaten it for a long time, it will be delicious.

If there are fresh vegetables, some sauce, and rolled up, it is really a very good food.

"Let's find a place to live as soon as possible. I'm not used to always eating outside food." Anna said, "I really want to eat baked potatoes now."

"It's not so easy to find a house. You have to find a suitable one. Otherwise, moving around will be troublesome." Zhou Sen said.

"I want to buy some gifts. I came to the door for the first time yesterday, and I didn't bring any presents. I want to buy clothes, shoes and hats for Evna and Baro," Anna said.

"Yes, but do you have money?" Zhou Sen asked.

"I have to go to the bank to change some, I still have some dollars." Anna said.

"Then it's up to you, don't buy too expensive ones, it's too eye-catching, it's not good for their family." Zhou Sen reminded, "I'll accompany you later."

"No, I'll be fine by myself." Anna refused.

"Okay, remember to contact me for the second time at noon today, and you must be back before twelve o'clock." Zhou Sen reminded.

"I know."

……

Zhou Sen asked the hunter to meet at Lenin Square in the center of Khabarovsk. Every Soviet Russian city has such a square.

This is a good place for ordinary people in Soviet Russia to relax during gatherings and peace.

There are wooden benches around the square, which are for tourists and local people to rest after walking. When Zhou Sen came, there were already many people in the square.

On weekends, many parents took their children out to play, and some people were feeding pigeons in the square. People came and went, and it was very lively.

There are many people here, and it is not easy for people to pay attention to their words.

"Young master, the control of foreign population here is very strict. Although we are Russians, we need to apply for relevant documents if we want to live here, and we need to have a proof of kinship in the local area. This is a troublesome problem for us, unless we are just Do a short stay, or have a company dispatch work..." the hunter said when he met Zhou Sen.

"The three of you need three proofs of kinship, right?" Zhou Sen frowned slightly.

"Yes."

"I'll figure out a way." Zhou Sen nodded, "Is there any gain from asking you about Krasnov's situation?"

"We are not gods, how can we be so fast?" The hunter said with a wry smile, "Now I only know that he has been in Khabarovsk for more than ten years. He first worked in a lumber field, and later married a lumberjack's daughter. Then he entered the Khabarovsk shipyard, and soon became an engineer. Six years ago, her wife gave birth to a son for him, and that’s all I can find out.”

"Okay, I see. You guys try to find a job first and see if you can stay in the factory." Zhou Sen suggested, "I will help you find a way through other means."

"Ok."

"From now on, don't make any other moves, unless I take the initiative to contact you, don't come to me."

"I know, young master, be careful. This place is no better than Ice City. The Russian Far East Intelligence Agency is not easy to deal with." The hunter also reminded Zhou Sen.

"Ah."

……

Honghezi Village.

"Mr. Steven, how about this house? Although the shop downstairs is not very big, it is more than enough to open a clinic. There are two rooms and a small storage room upstairs. The small storage room can be converted into a study. ..."

"The house is nice, but if I want to practice in Khabarovsk, what procedures do I need to go through?" Zhou Sen said with satisfaction.

"You are an American. If you want to open a clinic here, you have to go to the American embassy to apply for a long-term visa. You have to go to Vladivostok for this. We can't do it here. Also, you have to have a local relative certificate , Of course, this is not a necessary requirement, but if you have this proof, you will save a lot of trouble."

"Is this certificate required for all foreigners to stay and work locally?"

"If you are engaged in general work, foreigners stranded in the local area will be repatriated or even deported if they do not have a visa and no proof of kinship. If you have a doctor's license like you, it is different. According to According to the regulations of the Khabarovsk government, for technical talents such as engineers, scientists, and doctors, as long as they pass the review, they can directly stay and serve in the local area, and there are also tax incentives." The intermediary manager introduced.

"So good, it seems that I have found the right person."

"If you don't worry about me, I can help you with these things." The intermediary manager said enthusiastically.

"Okay, I will rent this house and decorate it for sure. I won't bother the second owner with one guest. I will leave it to you. You just need to follow my requirements and do it. How about I give you a commission of five hundred rubles? "

"Five hundred rubles, are you serious?" The intermediary manager swallowed his saliva. Five hundred rubles was equivalent to his annual salary.

"Of course, I will pay you [-] rubles if I finish it within one month, and I will never break my promise." Zhou Sen nodded, "However, you should clean up the second floor for me first, we don't want to continue Staying in a hotel."

"Okay, don't worry, give me three days to ensure that you can move in smoothly." The intermediary manager promised, patted his chest.

"Yes, as long as you can do it, I can pay you half of the commission first, and the remaining half will be paid to you after you finish everything." Zhou Sen said, "If you are not at ease, I can still pay you." Sign an agreement with you."

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

"What do you need to buy, just look at it and buy it for us. It's [-] rubles, and the extra is counted as errand expenses!" Zhou Sen generously took out [-] rubles from his wallet and handed it to the other party.

The intermediary manager was overjoyed. It was very rare to meet such a generous and wealthy client, and he might not be able to meet one in a few years.

"What do you need, tell me..." The agency manager took out his notebook and began to record.

"We like to take a short nap at noon and don't like to be disturbed by others, so you have to help me get a small bed in the study..."

"Study, the storage room is too small, maybe it won't fit in?"

"We don't have a child yet, so we still have a room. If you get a small bed, you don't have to buy it when you have a child, right?" Zhou Sen said.

"Yes, yes, you are still thoughtful." The agency manager wrote excitedly in his notebook.

"Can we buy an X-ray machine from abroad? If we want to buy one, what procedures do we need?" Zhou Sen said. It depends on orthopedics. The "X" machine is the most important auxiliary diagnostic instrument, and there are not so many others. necessary.

"This, I don't know yet, but I can help you find out. If there is any news, I will notify you immediately!" said the agency manager.

"Okay, I want to order some medical equipment, such as scalpels and the like, and you can also help me find out."

"Okay, then you make a list, and I'll help you go to the health committee to implement this matter for you."

"Okay, I'll give you the list later, but I don't have it right now." Zhou Sen said, "In addition, I personally like to cook, so I want to design the kitchen myself, so you can find someone to help me. We'll talk about this later, you help me first. I did what I was told to do."

"Then did we sign the lease contract?" said the intermediary manager.

"Sign, sign now." Zhou Sen readily agreed, he didn't have to worry about the money, he just asked Shibuya Saburo for it.

Anyway, his "parents" in the United States are wealthy Chinese-Americans, and they can send a sum of money by sending a telegram.
