After eating, Yuan Mingzhu packed her things and prepared to drive back. She felt distressed watching Lu Ming sleeping on the sofa every day, but she couldn't let Lu Ming go to bed. Otherwise, she didn't know what would happen.
In the afternoon, winter rain began to fall in the sky again, and the raindrops seemed to penetrate into people's skin and freeze their bone marrow.
There were dense clouds in the hazy sky, and the sky was also gray.
Lu Ming was a little worried and wanted to send Yuan Mingzhu back. He was worried about her driving skills and she had drank some wine just after dinner.
"Don't worry, I'm better at driving than you." Yuan Mingzhu turned the key in her hand and said unwillingly.
Yuan Mingzhu insisted not to send her off, but Lu Ming finally had to give in. Fortunately, she didn't drink too much and her driving would not be affected. Lu Ming asked her to call him when she got home to report that she was safe.
"I know, why are you nagging like an old lady?" Mingzhu said impatiently.
After watching Yuan Mingzhu drive away, Lu Ming returned to the apartment. He was about to open the door and enter the house when he saw Andre come over and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, it's really cold here."
"Winter in Moscow is much colder than here, isn't it? The cold in Shanghai is not a big deal to you." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"This is different. It's cold outside and very warm inside. In Shanghai, the temperature is the same outside and outside." Andre said with a breath of cold air.
Lu Ming nodded, knowing that Andre wouldn't be bored enough to talk to him about the weather.
"Lu, come to my room and have a drink." Andre invited.
"Well, I guess someone wants to see me, right?" Lu Ming pursed his lips and nodded.
"Lu, it's not good for people to be too smart." Andre laughed heartily.
Lu Ming followed Andre to his apartment suite and saw a tall, bearded Russian.
"Lu, this is my colleague Peter. You lent him your room. He wants to express his gratitude in person." Andre introduced.
Lu Ming shook hands with Peter, and then said with a smile: "No need to thank me, the house is idle even if it is idle. Besides, Peter came all the way to Shanghai to help our Republic of China government."
There were two bottles of vodka on the table in the center of the room, and several plates contained brown bread, pickles, caviar, and sausages. It was a table full of Russian-style food.
Andre filled the glasses of the three of them with wine, and the three clinked their glasses and drank them at the same time.
"This is the canned caviar that Peter brought from China. It is very precious. You can try it." Andre said with a smile.
Lu Ming ate a tablespoon of red caviar, which was actually just pieces of fish roe. Why is it called caviar? It seems to be a mystery.
The fish roe smells fishy, but it has an indescribable special taste in the mouth, which seems to have a hint of sweetness. Lu Ming does not like this taste, just like he is not used to eating European cheese.
He hurriedly took a bite of black bread to suppress the smell.
"Lu, you're not used to it at first, but you'll fall in love with it in the future." Andre said with a smile.
"If I get used to it, I'll be in trouble. I won't be able to afford it." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Although Lu Ming has never eaten caviar before, he knows that Russian caviar is one of the most expensive foods in the world, comparable to China's bird's nest and shark's fin.
The three of them drank a few more glasses of wine, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. As they ate and drank, they easily got closer to each other. Peter suddenly said: "Lu, I heard that you have read a lot of books about our country. How do you feel?"
"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I have seen it all. I can only say that your ideal is beautiful. If we can really establish such a public society where everyone is equal, it will indeed be a great pioneering work in the history of mankind."
Peter smiled and said: "The descriptions in the books you see are all the real conditions in our country. Of course, there are many things that are not perfect and not ideal enough, but we firmly believe that we will be able to achieve the goals of Comrade Marx and Lenin."
The edifice built for us in theory will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire world. In the end, the world will be unified and comprehensive communism will be realized."
Lu Ming looked at Mr. Peter with some surprise. His Chinese was very fluent, and it was not like it was spoken by this typical Russian. He was much better than Andre in terms of accent and expressive ability.
"If this can really happen, it will be a great event in human history." Lu Ming answered vaguely.
It's not that he doesn't believe Andre and Peter, but the fair world described in the books Andre gave him looks like a utopia, not the real world.
In his world view, the most ideal social system is still that of the United States, although the United States also has various problems, such as official corruption, serious and ubiquitous racial discrimination, black segregation, etc., not to mention the global
The economic and financial system of the economic crisis.
He traveled to various European countries and carefully examined and compared the systems of various countries. In the end, he felt that despite all the shortcomings of the American system, it was still more advanced and fairer than the aging European system.
The victory of the Soviet October Revolution caused a great shock in the world. There were many rumors from various aspects. On the good side, it was said that the Soviet Union eliminated the system of human exploitation of others and established a paradise for the working class. There were also many bad rumors.
Lu Ming has heard all kinds of rumors, but after all, he has never actually seen it. He dare not make a conclusion about whether it is good or bad.
"Lu, just tell me, are you interested in joining us and building the ideal world with us? Now the communist revolution has only been realized in our country. It will be realized in China in the future, and it will also be realized in many countries."
It will be realized by countries and regions, and finally it will be realized by all mankind around the world." Peter said impassionedly.
Andre waved his fists on the side, as if he was using body movements to cooperate with the spiritual teacher Peter's explanation.
"You guys are too straight to the point." Lu Ming looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing.
"Why do you say that? Do you suspect that what we said is unrealistic?" Peter asked sharply.
Lu Ming noticed a phenomenon. After Peter spoke, Andre remained silent. It seemed that his task was to introduce Lu Ming to Peter, and then Peter gave the orders. This also showed that Peter was Andre's superior.
"You should first do my ideological work, then offer various benefits, and finally seduce me into becoming your spy, isn't that so?" Lu Ming said unceremoniously.
"Lu, you are wrong. We are not asking you to be our spy, but we want you to join our organization, become our comrade, and work with us to fight for the great cause of communism." Peter shook his hand.
He said with a tight fist.
Lu Ming looked at the other party and said nothing. He couldn't find the right words to communicate with the other party.
"As for what benefits we want to give you to seduce you, I'm sorry to be honest, what we can give you is what you don't need, and what you need is not what we can provide." Peter, the spiritual teacher, shrugged his shoulders regretfully.
"Lu, we all work not for personal glory and wealth, but for the ideals in our hearts, not for us personally, but for the entire human race." Andre finally found the opportunity and added in time.
