Far away in Moscow

Chapter 138 Funny Talk

"Casinos? There are a lot of them, everywhere." Hu Yi smiled slightly: "You take a few steps when you go out, there are signs hanging in many places."

"Yes, yes, I know." The thin man leaned sideways on the front desk: "The leader likes a slightly larger and higher-grade place. Can Brother Hu arrange it for us?"

"I'm not familiar with this area." Hu Yi shook his head and said: "Besides, I have to go home to eat, you can go find it yourself."

"Don't! It's our first time in Moscow. We are not familiar with the place. It's more reassuring to have someone take it with us." The thin man took out a thousand rubles from his bag, thought about it and took another thousand, and handed it to Hu Yi. : "Brother Hu, please take a hard trip and take us to find a good place."

"Well..." Hu Yi hesitated for a while, and said with a smile, "Isn't this money state-owned assets?"

"Hey, brother Hu is really perceptive!" The thin man giggled and whispered into his ear: "This money belongs to the exhibition expenses. Why do you spend less money when you are away from home? It is impossible to reimburse the actual expenses when you are on a business trip abroad, right? ?”

Hu Yi didn't like his fake relatives, and he didn't plan to take this job, but firstly, the other party was generous, and secondly, Yu Feifei had to translate for them for the exhibition in the next few days, so it was not easy to lose face too stiff.So he looked at the leader behind him who was lecturing his subordinates, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Hu!" The thin man stuffed two thousand rubles into his pocket, turned back and stood behind the leader.

"Not doing business properly." Hu Yi muttered in a low voice.Thinking that he was not very familiar with the casinos in Moscow, he called Yu Feifei to ask.

In the past two years, Yu Feifei often helped the travel agency receive various domestic guests, and inevitably took them to and from such entertainment venues, so she immediately recommended a nearby casino that could earn a commission to Hu Yi.

Hearing that there is a commission to get, Hu Yi became more energetic.After arranging the room for others, he took the leader and the thin man to take a taxi and headed straight to the destination.

When he was in the car, he was worried that he didn't know much about the casino terminology, but when he got there, he realized that it was completely unnecessary worry: although the two people came to Moscow for the first time, they were obviously no strangers to the casino environment.As soon as the leader entered the door, he left Hu Yi behind, and rushed to a table impatiently, as if he had arrived at home.

The thin man followed the leader and sat at the table, turned around and called the Chinese waiter to ask for food and drink, and then waved to Hu Yi: "Come on, Brother Hu, sit down and play together for a while."

"I won't." Hu Yi shook his head: "I don't have money either."

"What money is not money." The leader laughed, and took two chips from the stack in front of him and put them aside: "It will be enough after a few games. Come on, you are welcome, and have a little fun."

Hu Yi took his seat according to his words, imitated their behavior and made a bet, and even won, but then lost all back.

"I won't play anymore." Hu Yi rubbed his hands together, feeling a little embarrassed: "Look, I really don't know how to do it, and I wasted your chips."

"Hey, a few pennies are nothing." The skinny man replied disapprovingly for the leader, "We didn't pay for it ourselves."

Hu Yi turned his head to look at the chips in front of them, let alone thousands of dollars, and then at the thin man: "Then...these are all your...expenses for participating in the exhibition?"

"These? It's just part of it." The thin man squinted at Hu Yi's surprised expression, and snorted lightly from his nostrils, with a slightly smug look on his face: "Little Hu, don't pick us up with those Clumsy private companies are lumped together."

"Hey, your funds are really abundant." Hu Yi said with a smile: "The leader just got angry with the customs for a hundred dollars. I thought you were very tight."

"How is that possible? You, you don't understand my style of doing things. The money is in my hands, and I have the final say on how to spend it." The leader won a few games in a row as soon as he got started, and he was in a particularly happy mood. He raised his face and said with joy: "Let's put it bluntly, I don't feel sorry for the one hundred dollars at all, I just don't like her behavior!"

"That's right!" The thin man echoed, "That woman lacks the least respect for us. To treat this kind of person, hey, you shouldn't give her a dime."

"Forget it! People have to bow their heads under the eaves." Holding a red wine glass in one hand and playing with his chips in the other, the leader sighed righteously: "Once a person like her has a little bit of insignificant rights, Then I started thinking about seeking personal gain for myself. As a customs officer, I lost my sense of mission and honor.”

"You're so right!" The thin man said angrily, "It's downright corrupt! There is no bottom line of principles, and the fundamentals of being a person and doing things have been lost. It's a disaster!"

Hu Yi suddenly felt funny from the bottom of his heart. The two people around him took the so-called "exhibition funds" to the casino to have a good time, and at the same time criticized the corruption of the Russian customs officials. It really gave him a strange feeling Contradictory sense of confusion.

"It's not that serious. It's just a petty border inspector. It won't make a big deal by relying on power. Maybe one day I will fall into it." The leader won another round, clapping his hands and laughing. Yu Chensheng said with emotion: "You can see that she is quite majestic sitting behind the table, but in fact she is just relying on others. Speaking of it, people still have to have money and manage it by themselves, so that they can do what they want to do and live. The joy and comfort."

"Oh, that's great! Listening to the leader's words is better than reading ten years of books! It made me suddenly enlightened!" The thin man said flatteringly: "If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but without money, you can't move a single step. Money is the true law of the world. The last word! Take us as an example, if we don’t have money, we can only hide in the hotel room making instant noodles and eating chicken feet.”

The leader stopped answering the conversation, and looked at the thin man with a hearty smile, showing a happy face.

Are you taking your own money?Shouldn't state-owned assets be used for production and operation, and for paying profits and taxes?Hu Yi looked coldly at the two people's unabashed nonsense, feeling bored for a while, and almost blurted out these words.

Someone behind him wanted to enter the game, so Hu Yi got up and made way for the seat, and wandered among the various tables.Although the conversation between the two people made him quite disgusted, one of the points touched him inadvertently: people need money, and only when they have money can they do what they want to do, and only if they have money can they live happily.

Is there anything I want to do?How can we live happily and comfortably?How can I become rich?

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the two subconsciously, and couldn't help but sneered again: No matter what, every penny I spend in the future must be earned by my own ability.I will never be like these two pathetic guys, take money that doesn't belong to me and go abroad to squander and pretend to be rich. I am not ashamed, but proud of it.
