Struggle in Russia

Arkady’s ambition soon went bankrupt. It’s not that no one in Bucharest would like to talk to him. As the personal secretary or spokesperson of the Count Vladimir, those who are willing to have a good relationship with the Count Vladimir are still willing to receive him. of.

It’s just that this kind of reception only stays at the level of etiquette. Who made the rumors that Alexei was preparing to clean up Count Vladimir!

Let these old fritters of officialdom choose a team between Alexei and Count Vladimir, for the time being, Alexei has the absolute upper hand. Because in the past few years, Alexei has proven himself to be a very successful governor, and he manages all aspects of Wallachia in an orderly manner.

Not only is it a political achievement, but it is also not an opponent of Alexei than Earl Vladimir. Therefore, before Earl Vladimir has not proved that he is more capable and promising, even if someone wants to invest in him, it is impossible to invest in him. Throw in all his wealth.

Naturally, Arkady can only reap the benefits of friendship, which makes him stunned, because he always thinks that Alexei is just a kid, and being able to become the governor is the result of political compromise between various forces.

He believes that as long as there is a person with a higher political status and a deeper background than Alexei, the position of the Governor of Wallachia will soon change.

But now it seems that he underestimated Alexei?

While Arkady was still doubting himself, Alexei had already beaten Count Vladimir. Turning to the sky, he made an excuse that the city’s defense was lax. Alexei called Count Vladimir to the Governor’s Palace. He scolded him for ten minutes, and his face was dark.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this curse was carried out in front of everyone. The officials, large and small, who were waiting to be summoned by the Governor saw this scene, and soon all kinds of rumors would spread wanton.

The rumors are still fermenting, but Alexei’s new round of blows has come. When the day comes to pay, the officials of the City Defense Command suddenly find that their salary has been reduced by a large amount, leaving many who were prepared to continue to be unrestrained. The **** or the poor bug who had already owed a debt was poured cold water.

“Commander, how come our salary is so much less for nothing? What does this mean?”

Count Vladimir himself was also Nahan, and he was ready to get his wages and began to be glamorous, but he almost made his nose crooked when he looked at the payroll. The money sent down was not enough for him to go out for two drinks, what’s the matter!

“The Governor’s Mansion must give me an explanation, why the deduction of the salary of our city defense headquarters is absolutely unacceptable!”

This time, Alexei was not even the one who received Count Vladimir. In the words of Secretary Alexei: “There is no appointment, no urgent matters. Even if you are the Governor of Vladimir, you won’t see you. This is the rule!”

“What kind of breaking the rules! The salary of the City Defense Command has been reduced by a large amount for nothing. Isn’t it okay?”

The secretary had already received the explicit instructions from Alexei, and naturally understood what to do. This was what he was waiting for!

I saw him sneer, and sarcastically said: “Has the salary of the City Defense Command have decreased? Why haven’t I heard that the payroll has been reviewed by the Governor himself. It is absolutely impossible to have a problem, Lord Earl, I advise you to do the best Don’t talk nonsense, otherwise you will not be able to bear this responsibility!”

Count Vladimir was not shocked either. He suddenly snorted and asked: “Where did I talk about it? Last month my salary was…why is this month less than a quarter of the previous month? ! What is this not to deduct out of thin air?”

Seeing Count Vladimir’s arrogant expression, even Alexei’s secretary secretly laughed, because his reaction was entirely within the estimates of Alexei and Li Xiao, so the little secretary didn’t rush. Replied:

“It turns out that you are talking about this. You don’t need to contact the Governor for this matter. I can tell you why! Because your City Defense Command has been slack in work recently and has many omissions. This passive state of slack makes the Governor very very I’m angry, so I have suspended the bonus payments to you!”

“In the words of the Governor, bonuses are only awarded to people who work hard. There is no bonus for being passive and lax! As for your salary, according to national standards, it is all adequate. If you don’t believe it, you can respond to St. Petersburg. Well!”

After speaking, the little secretary looked at Count Vladimir with a sneer, watching the other’s face turn from red to white and then to ashen, and it was really pleasant to say to the heart.

Count Vladimir walked away in disgrace, because even if he did respond to the wage issue to St. Petersburg, it would be meaningless, because Alexei did not deduct his salary, but only deducted his bonus. No one stipulates that bonuses must be provided every month, nor is it stipulated that everyone can receive bonuses, so it is useless for him to cry and make trouble.

“You bastard, wait for me!”

Count Vladimir, who had suffered a dumb loss and lost his face, had no better way to vent his anger besides venting his anger at the furniture in the study.

“Your Excellency, I think Count Speransky is deliberately suppressing you!”

Count Vladimir snorted coldly: “I can’t tell if I’m not blind. It’s so shameless that this **** used this kind of indiscriminate means…”

Arkady looked at someone with a look of indignation and secretly said in his heart: “If it were you, I am afraid that the means would be even worse!”

“But it doesn’t matter!” Count Vladimir announced domineeringly with his hands on his hips: “Thinking that a few bonuses can frighten me, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is naive!”

It’s just that Arkady sent a stack of bills to the side before his words: “Your Excellency, this is the bill that you haven’t paid in full last month. The amount is a bit…a bit big, at least based on your salary this month. It cannot be paid off…”

Count Vladimir glared at Arkady very irritably. He felt that this secretary was too petty. Isn’t it just a few money? I can’t get it out for the time being. Just find a few people to borrow and turn around. What a big deal this is!

Arkady smiled bitterly: “Your Excellency, you probably forgot that this is Bucharest. Who are you going to find for the loan turnover?”

Count Vladimir was stunned. He really forgot that he had no friends in Bucharest. The former friends of St. Petersburg could not count on them. What should I do?

He calmly said proudly: “Then go to the banker, they have money, they must be able to get such a small amount of money!”
