Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

The soothing dance music ended, and the two of them, still somewhat hesitant, nodded politely and returned to their respective seats.

Yusubowa and the others also returned, and even brought Niu Dazhuang a glass of wine.

Lisa then began to reveal the identities of their dance partners: "Yusubo, the person you were dancing with just now was from the design institute, so he's of no use to us."

"Big Bull, I'm starting to wonder if you're some kind of Lady Luck's son, you're just too lucky! Our main target tonight is that girl you were dancing with earlier. Did you get her private phone number?"

"Oh, isn't it a bit too presumptuous of me to ask for her phone number on our first meeting?"

"Here, please don't act in the way you Easterners think. Since she took the initiative to invite you to dance, she definitely doesn't dislike you. If you don't ask for her private phone number, she might think you're not interested in her."

"Wow, is that even possible? I'll invite her again for the next song; that way, it won't be impolite. She looks quite young; could she be the head of an important department?"

"Look at all the ladies here. The young and beautiful ones all have powerful backers, and those few who are overweight all have influential families. Let me put it this way, none of the ladies here are just sitting around doing nothing."

"I know, it's just that we can't afford to offend any of them!"

"It's not that we can't afford to offend them, it's just that it's not appropriate. If things really get unpleasant, I'm not afraid of them. We're here to make money, so we won't hold a grudge against them."

"I understand. What's going on with Valia? Could it be that I secretly arranged to meet her, and now her boyfriend is trying to sabotage us?"

Lisa smiled. "The person standing behind her isn't a man, it's a woman."

"Holy crap, what's going on? Is she a lesbian?"

"Lala? What does that mean?"

"It means female homosexuality."

"No, she's a classmate and best friend of the granddaughter of our former top leader! Our department is still under that leader's control! If we can get through this connection, everything else will be much easier."

That leader's son is Yuri Brezhnev. Don't let his position as deputy minister fool you; he's the one in power behind the scenes! As long as he's pushing things forward, there's no reason why anything we do shouldn't succeed.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Be natural and don't let people think you're deliberately trying to get close to her.

"I understand."

Just as they were talking, another song started. Before Niu Dazhuang could even reach Valia, she had already accepted another invitation.

Whether it was intentional or not, Varia accepted other people's invitations before Niu Dazhuang even came over for the next few dances.

As the sun set, neon lights illuminated the auditorium, and the dance music changed from soothing to lively…

The drinkers were also drunk and their eyes were blurry, and whistles and screams rose and fell.

Niu Dazhuang was keeping a close eye on Valia. He noticed that she didn't seem particularly excited and was about to get up and leave.

Because Niu Dazhuang and his group arrived late, they were seated near the entrance. Niu Dazhuang lit a cigarette, gambling that the young lady wouldn't like the noisy environment.

He left the auditorium first, a cigarette ring dangling from his lips. Standing at the entrance, he took a drag, gazed into the distance, and feigned a melancholy expression.

Niu Dazhuang's gamble paid off. He had just taken two puffs when he heard footsteps behind him, the sound of a woman's high heels on a cement floor.

Looking back suddenly, it was indeed the person waiting for someone.

"Valia, why are you out now?"

"Would you be disappointed if I didn't show up right now?"

Anyone who can get by in a government department is not an idiot.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you? You saw me invite you to dance, and you still deliberately accepted someone else's invitation."

"Hehe... You Eastern man, this is our first meeting, and I haven't promised you anything. Why can't you accept someone else's invitation? I'll walk with you!" After saying that, he took a step forward.

Niu Dazhuang quickened his pace, and the two walked side by side.

"I can introduce you to Tatiana Vladimirovna. We also call her Tania." Valia said this directly, leaving Niu Dazhuang speechless.

After a long silence

"What, is your purpose in approaching me not to get to know Tania?"

"I don't even know who you're talking about, and I have no ulterior motives. Yusupowa and I are old friends of many years."

Yusupowa and Lisa are best friends, and today is the first time Lisa and I have met. As for the person you mentioned,

"I really don't know if it's because I need to leave this time," Niu Dazhuang said sincerely.

"Then tell me, what brings you here this time? You didn't come just to see your longtime lover, did you?"

"It's both. I'm a businessman. On one hand, it's to do business, and on the other hand, it's to meet up with old friends I haven't seen for many years."

When we were dancing together, you asked me about the active exchanges between the two sides in the Far East. I came to Moscow this time to see if we could expand the scale of these exchanges.

This is one of our goals; another is to see if there are other investment opportunities. Businessmen have no borders; if we make money somewhere, we'll go there. Before coming here...

I also went to Japan, where I wanted to have a go at those old money people from Europe and America and see if I could snatch food from their mouths...” Niu Dazhuang’s eloquence portrayed him as a warrior who was willing to challenge the old money of the American imperialists.

"I've been here for over a week now. With Yusupova's help, my people are handling things in the Far East, and there are basically no problems."

As an old friend I hadn't seen for many years, I couldn't just leave, so I stayed to spend a few more days with him. During our chat, Yusupova mentioned a big business deal... Niu Dazhuang then recounted the story of the oil fields off Sakhalin Island.

"Such a big business deal, especially in the oil industry, Yusupova said she couldn't handle it alone, so she contacted her best friend, Lisa. You know, when you're going to do such a big business together, you're bound to meet, so we arranged to meet tonight."

I didn't know they liked to dance; I just followed them in without really knowing what was going on.

Niu Dazhuang would betray his friends without batting an eye.

In short, he portrayed himself as a pitiful person who knew nothing.

"Valia, the first time I danced with you, I was captivated by your angelic face and devilish figure."

You may not believe me, but today I must speak my mind. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Damn, after being fooled by Niu Dazhuang, Valia lowered his guard.

Niu Dazhuang is a master of deception; 99% of what he says is true, and half of what he says is false. Most people wouldn't realize they've been fooled.
