At noon on January 15th of the new year, Weiran's flight landed smoothly at Kazan Airport.
"How was your trip to Lipetsk?" Wei Ran had just walked out of the airport pick-up gate, and Suisui, who came to pick him up, threw herself into his arms as usual, becoming one of the pendants on the former's body.
"Your father and Ruslan drank a lot."
Wei Ran sold his father-in-law out by the way, then changed the subject and asked, "What about you? Are you done with your business?"
"I'm done!" Suisui rolled her eyes, let go of Wei Ran's neck, enthusiastically took his luggage and walked out, "Let's go! Let's go home!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran stopped asking any more questions and allowed the other party to pull him away from the airport, got into the armored commercial vehicle driven by Anfisa, and returned to the shore of Lake Kaban in a blink of an eye.
However, what he didn't expect was that the car did not drive into the house, but stopped several hundred meters away from the door of the house.
"Put this on!"
While Suisui was speaking, she reached into her pocket and took out a pink eye mask and handed it over, with a look of pride written all over her little face.
Upon seeing this, Wei Ran smiled and put on a blindfold in cooperation. Anfisa, who was responsible for driving, also stepped on the accelerator again, and soon after, he steered the car through a few turns and stopped steadily.
.
yawenku.
He allowed Suisui to pull him out of the car. Almost at the same time that Wei Ran noticed a change in body temperature, two soft "Peng Peng" sounds were clearly heard in his ears.
Almost at the same time, the blindfold on his face was also pulled off, and he could see the surrounding scene clearly, as well as the beautiful colored paper above his head. Of course, there were also the Katenka sisters on both sides, each holding a fireworks tube.
Although he didn't see where Suisui went, he immediately realized that he was taken to the large decorated workshop next door to his home.
As far as the eye can see, on both sides of the workshop, solid wood bookshelves divide this large space into semi-open private spaces similar to decks.
In this small grid, which is only about ten square meters each, there are long solid wood tables and matching chairs. The bookshelves on both sides of the table are also filled with various old books in categories!
Not only that, there are blank picture frames hanging on the walls next to these tables and above the head of the entire hall.
The spacious corridor in the center of the hall is filled with outdated lathe equipment that was dug out from the basement of this workshop, and even molds for casting tank turrets.
However, these things have been carefully refurbished now. Not only are the lathes wrapped in glass display cabinets and equipped with spotlights and flower pots, but even the turret molds are wrapped in tempered glass and turned into seats that can be used for sitting.
A stool to rest on.
Looking above the head, at one end of the workshop, about four meters above the head, there is a suspended second floor wrapped in a glass curtain wall.
The space on this floor is not very large, and the entrance seems to be outside the workshop.
But there is no doubt that if you stand on the second floor, you can easily overlook the entire workshop and the small second-floor space at the other end of the workshop that is also suspended in the air.
"Get in the car!" Suisui personally drove a small white battery car and parked next to Wei Ran.
Seeing this, Wei Ran smiled, followed the Katenka sisters and got into the battery car, letting Suisui pull him around, and finally stopped at the solid wood bar on the side of the middle entrance of the workshop.
.
"Four cups of coffee," Suisui greeted before she even got out of the car, "No sugar, half milk."
Hearing this, Lola, who was wearing a Soviet female soldier uniform, immediately operated the coffee machine behind her quickly and brewed a cup of coffee for each of the four of them.
I picked up the enamel cup with coffee and looked at it. In addition to Comrade Stalin's face, it also had various slogans from the Soviet era printed on it. Then I looked at the cup rack behind the bar. There were at least hundreds of things hanging on it.
A cup like this.
"Brought back from Mine No. 52. Many of the things used here were brought back from Mine No. 52."
Suisui took a sip of coffee with a smile and pretended to say, "I can taste the strong cherry blossom flavor from this cup of coffee."
"You prepared all this secretly?"
Wei Ran also took a sip of coffee and asked if he could taste the cherry blossom flavor. Put it aside for now. The coffee itself tasted really good.
"It's not just me"
After Suisui finished speaking, she wiped her mouth, then put her fingers into her mouth and blew a long rogue whistle.
Before the whistle fell, the lights on the second floor suspended in the air at both ends of the workshop came on, and then Wei Ran saw that it was full of people waving to him.
“They are all members of Inta Sports Gym in Jimma”
Suisui also waved in response, while not forgetting to explain proudly, "From the day we left here to return to Volgograd, they started to help with the decoration, and they even spent the New Year in this workshop.
Also, they put the several containers of old books sent by Mr. Nicholas on the bookshelves. They also helped select the things we brought back from Mine 52. Even Lola’s coffee bar
, they all helped to do it.”
At just this moment, Lola's sister Korava also rode a bright red children's tricycle and passed by them. On the small cargo compartment behind the children's tricycle, there were also a cartoon kettle and a
A compact telescope.
"What is she doing?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"Korava is playing games"
Lola, who came over with a plate of Chinese snacks, happily explained, "I'm guiding her to remember the location of this book."
"Can she do it?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"In fact she has done it"
Lola said proudly, "I just picked a dozen books and changed their positions, and she is now finding those books."
"And she seems to like this kind of game very much," Anfia explained. "She even learned to call 'sister' recently."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's from my church," Anfisa said seriously while holding coffee.
"It's obviously me." Lola rolled her eyes.
"It's me, it's me." Suisui naturally took the credit.
"She speaks Russian," Anfiya reminded, "Boss, you teach Chinese."
"Korawa is so smart, he can translate by himself." Suisui smiled and made excuses for herself.
"Don't talk about it yet." Wei Ran pointed to the picture frames above his head, "What are they for?"
"Aren't you going to show the old photos of the rooms on the third floor of your home?"
Suisui put down the cup she had just picked up and explained while rummaging around on her body, "Those photo frames are all reserved for you. If you see which ones need to be displayed, just develop the corresponding photos and put them on them."
"Very simple"
Anfia pointed at her feet, "The steel cables that fix the photo frames are all controlled by our server, and any one of them can be lowered or raised to any height as needed."
"The entrance to the basement is also located in our yard," Anfisa followed, "You can even drive in directly."
Before she finished speaking, Suisui finally took out a big red jewelry box from his bag. "Found it! Stand up!"
"What to do?" Wei Ran was pulled by the other party to stand up without knowing why.
"Ahem!"
Suisui pretended to clear her throat, and then, in the workshop of Nuo University... no, in the library of Nuo University, the familiar "Inspection March" rang out!
With Wei Ran's dumbfounded expression, Suisui opened the jewelry box in her hand, took out a silver-white brooch with metallic luster and pinned it on Wei Ran's chest.
Looking down at the brooch, Wei Ran couldn't help but grin. The brooch was exactly in the shape of a quill pen. There was even a diamond the size of a grain of rice inlaid at the tip of the pen. On top of the feather, there was
Russian and Chinese are engraved with two lines of red writing on the upper and lower lines: Victor/Wei Ran, Director of the Time Library
"Did you do this?" Wei Ran asked, holding the brooch.
"It's platinum!"
Suisui became more and more proud, "I asked you back then what you planned to use as the logo when this library is built, and you said you would use a quill pen. You won't forget it, right?"
"I haven't forgotten it. How could I forget it? This one is pretty good, but it's a bit heavy."
Wei Ran quickly answered with a smile. He did have the impression that Suisui seemed to have asked himself this question. At that time, he did point to the tattoo on the tiger's mouth of his left hand. However, he did not expect that this Tiantian young man would be so heartless and happy.
The girl Dianpi Dian always remembers it.
"It's platinum! Can it not sink?"
Suisui put her hands on her hips and said proudly, and then, after noticing the flashing red lights behind the second-story glass curtain walls at both ends, she immediately greeted, "Get in the car quickly, I'll take you to see something else!"
"
Hearing this, Wei Ran picked up the coffee cup and drank it in one gulp, followed by Kajian Kakamei and got back into the battery car driven by Suisui himself.
But this time, Suisui drove the car out of the door next to the bar and turned the direction of the battery car.
This time, without prompting at all, Wei Ran saw the name "Time Library" written in Russian in glowing red curly fonts directly above the door, and the end of the red handwriting thrown out from the last letter of this string of curly fonts,
There is also a quill pen sign that is conspicuous enough and exudes silvery white light.
"Doesn't it look good?!" Suisui raised her neck and said happily, "I designed it myself!"
"nice!"
Wei Ran nodded immediately. The design of this sign is indeed beautiful. At least the quill pen looks much more gorgeous than the quill pen that comes with the metal book!
“Looking good is justice!”
As she spoke, Suisui stepped on the accelerator and drove around the workshop to the end near Kaban Lake. Pointing to the lighted outer staircase and elevator, she said, "This will be our office address from now on."
Wei Ran pointed at the white little sheep on the glass curtain wall that glowed, maintained ballet movements, and had a glowing ring on its head, and asked with a strange expression, "Is this your signature thing?"
"Hey, it's a coincidence, don't think too much about it."
Suisui refused to admit Wei Ran's guess, stepped on the accelerator again, and took a circle in the spacious yard to the other side of the workshop.
There is also an elevator with a set of exterior stairs. The only difference is that the pattern on the glass curtain wall has become two thorn patterns, one red and one black, intertwined like DNA.
.And of course there are a dozen gray Watts vans parked here.
At this time, Jima's boys, who were wearing black Adidas three-stripes in the cold weather, were also standing all over the expressway's stairs, each holding an enamel stick with Stalin on it and greeting Wei Ran and others enthusiastically.
In contrast, it was Greva, the apparent leader of the gang, who wore a black suit like Wei Ran.
Even on his chest, there is a brooch in the shape of a quill entwined with thorns. The red Russian writing on the brooch is particularly conspicuous - Time Library Security Manager Greva Arach
After enthusiastically greeting these gangsters and the gangster leader who smelled like trouble but were particularly enthusiastic at this time, Suisui also controlled the battery car and drove back to the other end of the workshop, passing through
There is an electric iron gate between the house and the yard next door.
"What's going on with Greva and the others?" Wei Ran asked while the other party was driving the battery car into the basement entrance.
"What's going on?"
Suisui asked in confusion, "Didn't you discuss it with Ji Ma at that time? The office over there will be used for his gym."
"I'm talking about his brooch." Wei Ran pointed to his chest and added, "Who the hell is the library security manager?"
"That's the security manager."
Suisui controlled the battery car to stop, and waited for the Katenka sisters to open the blast-proof door made of concrete in front. Then she continued to drive in and said, "Gleva said they can help ensure the safety of the library and maintain order."
, so I just made up a name for him."
"Mingtou" Wei Ran corrected, dumbfounded.
“It’s pretty much the same anyway”
Suisui stepped on the brakes, jumped down and spread her hands, and continued as a matter of course, "Anyway, if someone makes trouble in the library in the future, they will definitely help solve it. Everyone has a name...name! Name! Don't knock me.
head!"
When Wei Ran retracted his hand, Suisui, who was covering his head, continued to explain, "So it is more convenient to have a name, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding. After all, they are nominally a membership club of the gym.
It makes sense for a library security manager to be a club member who is also a gym member, right?”
"Reasonable, very reasonable."
Wei Ran rolled his eyes and pointed around, "What about here? It seems to be the same as before, except that the entrance has been changed and an extra explosion-proof door has been added?"
"There is really no difference. The explosion-proof door was proposed by the contractor, Lao Li. He said that the excess concrete and steel bars would be a waste if not used."
Suisui pointed around casually, "Anyway, let's use it as a basement and underground garage. A lot of junk brought back from Mine No. 52, as well as the vegetables we grew, are also stored here. In addition, our servers are also
Put it here, of course, it’s also good to come here occasionally to sing or play games or something.”
"More than these"
Anfiya, who was sitting on the battery car, reminded, "Boss, the mobile hard drives filled with literature and materials that you gave me before were also cracked by me. All the information in them is stored here. In the future, there are some files that you don't want to make public.
Materials placed in the library can also be stored here.
To put it simply, this is a filing room that is not open to the public. In addition, the monitoring terminals of the two houses are also placed here."
"Will..."
"Won't"
Anfiya obviously knew what Weiran wanted to ask, "The archives and surveillance are not connected to the Internet at all. Even the most sophisticated hackers will never have to worry about privacy theft unless they get in."
"As for the consequences of getting involved, I think Lola may have a better say." Fisa smiled and teased Lola, who was still adapting to her job as a coffee shop owner in the library, followed by the four people in the basement.
