"Let the Katenka sisters decide this matter themselves," Wei Ran said, turned around, opened the security door, and walked out at the lead.

"If they have no objection, you have no objection?" Old Ivan asked confidently, holding a cigar in his mouth.

"As long as you don't use any excuses to threaten or confuse them"

Wei Ran said without looking back, of course he wouldn't mind letting the Katenka sisters be in charge of the HeLa organization, but only if the twin girls volunteered.

Or to put it another way, if old Ivan wants to use the HeLa organization to add some sand to his side, he wouldn't even mind "returning" the Katenka sisters to Mr. Nikolai.

"I'm not as clumsy as you think."

Old Ivan snorted disdainfully, "You can stay here tonight. After dinner, call the girls to the attic."

"Okay." Wei Ran nodded in agreement, and then pushed open the security door leading to the lobby on the first floor.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Old Ivan, who was still mostly in the stairwell, couldn't help but ask.

"How are you doing here?" Wei Ran turned around and looked at him with a smile.

Hearing this, old Ivan was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face that was no longer young. "Thank you for your concern. I am living a good life here. At least it is more lively than the Liehuo Wilderness Rescue Station."

"Drink less." Wei Ran turned around and continued walking towards the door of the tavern.

"I was almost moved by you." Old Ivan grinned, and he and Wei Ran left the tavern and got into the transport vehicle not far away.

As Suisui and Old Ivan checked the accounts one by one, waiting boredly, the polar town of Tula was also shrouded in the sunset. As the circle of colorful light strips on the outer wall of the Aurora Tavern lit up, the driver who had been driving before

The tourists who left on off-road vehicles also drove back to the Aurora Tavern one after another under the organization of Su Lie and the three driver guides.

Not only these tourists from thousands of miles away, but also the residents of the small town, the miners in the coal mines, and even the drivers running transportation on the Lower Tunguska River have also made this tavern, which is almost only two hundred meters away from the river in a straight line, even more lively.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, both the residents of the town and the drivers who took a short break showed sufficient enthusiasm for the first-time tourists.

Even a freight truck driver who claimed to be from a gathering area downstream even took the initiative to treat these tourists to a drink.

"Why are these people... hiccup! Why are they so enthusiastic?" Suisui asked in confusion, holding up a glass of whiskey with ice cubes.

"Of course they are enthusiastic"

Sitting at the same table with them was driver Paulia, who was pouring wine for Wei Ran and others while explaining, "According to previous experiences, if we can take these tourists to their gathering area to stop for supplies, even if those tourists are not prepared

If you stay overnight in their gathering area, you will also buy a lot of souvenirs. Those little things are worth much more than a glass of wine."

Having said this, Paulia also picked up the cup, "Besides, Old Ivan's wine is not expensive. Even if all the tourists are invited to have a drink, it won't cost much."

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Paulia lowered his voice slightly and continued, "Now every gathering area from Tula town to Tuluhankes knows that as long as those with fire paint

The appearance of big bicycles means that tourists are here. So as long as there are no traffic accidents, even the police will be particularly tolerant of those big bicycles."

"How much can it cost for just twenty people..." Anfiya, who was at the same table, couldn't help but say.

"A month ago, a Chinese tourist bought a small box of slides from the Soviet era and a refurbished camera for 230,000 rubles in a gathering area less than 200 kilometers away from Tuluhankes.

An old-fashioned slide projector that works."

Paulia spread his hands, "I don't know what the purpose of buying those rags was, but at that time both parties to the transaction insisted that they had made a profit, and such incomprehensible transactions would happen almost every other time."

"The people who drive here are all rich people with weird sexual habits." Before Suisui could finish her words, she was already leaning on Wei Ran with a drunken look on her face. She was obviously drunk.

"People are addicted to food..."

Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded, took the cup Suisui still held in his hand, and poured the remaining half glass of whiskey into his mouth.

"Forgot to say"

Paulia pointed to Suisui, who was leaning in Wei Ran's arms, and lowered her voice and said, "Although no one knows that she is Aurora, everyone knows that she is led by a good girl named Aurora.

The wealthy tourists who come here.

So if old Ivan or I point out that she is Aurora now, I guarantee that every local drinking here will take the initiative to toast her."

"You'd better keep this a secret for us."

Wei Ran quickly reminded the other party, supported Suisui, who could hardly open her eyes, and asked, "Paulia, what time will we leave for the self-drive tomorrow?"

"I don't know either"

Paulia spread his hands, "According to past rules, those tourists will decide by themselves when to start and when to stop. We just need to ensure that they don't go the wrong way and are not in danger."

"In that case, let us know when you decide to leave."

As Wei Ran spoke, he helped Suisui, who was about to fall asleep, to stand up, "You drink first, and I'll send her into the room first."

"See you tomorrow, Victor." Paulia picked up the cup and gestured, then drank the wine in the cup.

After he put down his cup, the Katenka sisters also stood up and left the table one after another. Following Wei Ran and Suisui, Old Ivan led Old Ivan through the security door leading upstairs to the third floor.

"The four rooms here are yours. You can allocate them however you want." Old Ivan lowered his voice after saying, "At half past nine, we will meet in the stairwell."

Hearing this, sisters Wei Ran and Katenka looked at each other, and then each nodded inconspicuously.

Watching old Ivan turn around and go downstairs, the Katenka sisters got into the same room at the same time, and then locked the door with a click.

Looking down at the girl in his arms, Wei Ran reached out and pushed open another adjacent room.

Overly skilled, he helped Suisui lie on the bed and covered him with quilt. Wei Ran dimmed the bedside lamp and sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and waited quietly for a moment. Until the sound of even breathing came from the bed, he quietly

He stood up quietly and left the room, locking the door.

Almost at the same moment, the door of the next door also opened. Sister Katenka, who had already changed a set of clothes, also walked out of the room, followed Wei Ran silently into the quiet stairwell, and met the old man who had been waiting here for a long time.

Ivan.

However, old Ivan did not take them upstairs. Instead, he walked all the way down, and then passed through another security door on the first floor and entered the parking lot directly.

"Get in the car, we don't have much time." Old Ivan had already opened the door of a van before he finished speaking.

Without any hesitation, Weiran was the first to bend down and get into the cold car.

By the time the Katenka sisters also got in, Old Ivan had already started the car, then left the parking lot without turning on the lights, and drove to the edge of the frozen river outside the town of Tula.

"Stop wherever you think it's suitable to talk." Old Ivan, who was in charge of driving, ordered and casually focused all his attention on driving.

"Go to the other side," Wei Ran said casually.

Hearing this, old Ivan drove the car down the river without hesitation and then drove up the slope covered with slag on the opposite side.

"It's right here," the Katenka sisters said in unison as the car passed by a lumber yard.

Hearing this, Old Ivan immediately stepped on the brakes. After the car came to a stop, he said without looking back, "Then get off the car here, Victor. I'll give you ten minutes to explain it clearly to them and do it."

make decision."

Looking at each other with the Katenka sisters, Wei Ran opened the car door and jumped out first.

When the three of them got out of the car, Old Ivan immediately stepped on the accelerator and retreated fifty or sixty meters in the direction in which he came. At the same time, Wei Ran and the other three also walked forward for more than ten meters.

"Boss, what do you want to say?" Anfisa

The first one asked.

"Do you want to live like before or like this now?" Wei Ran stopped and asked.

"If the boss has something to say, why don't you just say it"

Anfiya walked to the side of the road, randomly found a lying log and sat down. Half jokingly, half seriously, she looked at Wei Ran and asked, "Don't you think you can afford the salary?"

"The salary can still be paid."

Wei Ran simply sat on the log as well, and waited until Anfisa sat down next to her sister. Then after some deliberation, he briefly recounted the things about the Hela organization.

"In short, the Hela organization now needs a long-term person in charge behind the scenes."

Wei Ran finally concluded, "If you like your current life, you can continue to be Aurora's assistant. If you..."

"Are you really willing to hand over the management of the HeLa organization to us?" Sister Katenka asked in unison before Wei Ran could finish speaking.

Wei Ran could not help but be stunned. Although the only light source in the night was the occasional truck headlights driving by on the river, he still saw a trace of excitement and what seemed to be relief in the eyes of the two sisters.

expression.

"What's your expression?" Wei Ran asked directly.

"Are you really willing to hand over Hela to our management?" Anfiya asked again. "If you are willing..."

"Of course I do." As Anfisa spoke, she gave her sister a tacit high-five.

"You seem to be very excited?" Wei Ran asked confused.

"Mom said that people who can better reflect their own value can live longer. But only by gaining enough trust can they get the opportunity to reflect their value." When Anfisa said this, she looked directly at Wei with a very calm look.

Burn.

In contrast, Anfiya was more direct, "Compared with protecting sister Aurora, taking charge of the Hela organization will allow us to exert greater value, and it will also make you less likely to betray us easily. Correspondingly

, we will also trust you more. "So you actually don't like your current life, you prefer..."

"Quite the opposite"

Anfisa explained before Wei Ran could finish, "You and sister Aurora are both very good bosses, and we like our current life very much.

"There are also all kinds of Chinese delicacies and jewelry given to us by Aurora. Of course, there are also Lola, Korava, Maya, and that bastard Ji Renscum. They are all very good friends. Apart from the name we had before,

A little curly named Matthew has almost no real friends.
