Chapter 49 General Asherov

  Three hundred thousand dollars, this price, did not make Li Lixue lose her way. Once, the Sixth Master who had brought her into the profession told her that in this world, there would never be unrequited love without a reason.

  Liu Ye, a legendary figure in the underworld. The largest wholesaler in the Astor Market. Unfortunately, he's dead. Many people think Li Lixue is Liu Ye's mistress. However, nobody knows that Liu Ye was actually a close friend of Li Lixue's father.

  "Third Master, why are you offering me such a high salary? The income you calculated is theirs, not mine. I don't have much capital, probably just around $5,000 to $8,000 per year. Sixty times that price, do you think it's worth it? Maybe my role isn't that obvious. Someone once told me, in this world, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want me to do that kind of work, I won't agree." Li Lixue gazed at Nie Zhenbang and asked back.

  Having self-awareness, she can quickly find her own position and has a clear positioning of herself. Li Lixue's performance, however, made Nie Zhenbang's eyes light up. This woman's performance is making Nie Zhenbang increasingly happy.

  At the beginning, Nie Zhenbang valued Li Lixue's beauty as a certain advantage in business negotiations. But at this moment, Nie Zhenbang recognized Li Lixue's ability.

  Nie Zhenbang also burst out laughing and looked at Li Lixue, saying: "Lixue, now we can be considered familiar with each other. Calling you this way is fine, right?"

  Li Lixue's face turned red when she heard this intimate term of endearment, but she still nodded in agreement.

  Nie Zhenbang continued, "Considering your abilities and performance, plus your familiarity with the entire Hua Su trade. Fifty thousand dollars a year is a relatively fair price. Do you know why I want to give you so much?"

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Nie Zhenbang stretched out two fingers. He smiled calmly and said: "Two reasons, first, your potential ability is worth this price. Don't look at how small your business is now. It's because you don't have any connections or capital. If you can find a supplier and get the funds, your business will surpass that of any peddler. I still have an eye for talent. Second, I think it's really tough for a girl from a difficult family to be on her own outside, so I'll give you a little more. Are these two reasons satisfactory to you?"

  The first reason, Li Lixue deliberately ignored, because Li Lixue was already shocked by the second reason. Her attire, in all aspects, although not luxurious, still maintained a medium standard. Except for sitting in hard seat, no one knew her family situation was bad. Everyone thought Li Lixue did it on purpose, after all, there were many wealthy vendors who sat in hard seats too. They all thought she had an attitude of not showing off her wealth. How would he know?

  "How did you know?"

  Nie Zhenbang couldn't help but laugh at this moment. From the time he got to know Li Lixue, she had always been calm and composed, but now, for the first time, he saw her so excited.

  Nie Zhenbang burst out laughing and said, "The idea that wealth is not to be revealed is a habitual way of thinking in your line of work. I am not someone from your circle, and the saying 'onlookers see most clearly' is exactly what it means. In my opinion, taking a hard seat is a manifestation of being short on money, or trying to save money. Moreover, although your attire is average, the things you buy are all low-profit daily necessities. And seeing how hard you worked to promote sales on the platform, almost losing your chastity for the sake of a possible business deal. I knew that your family situation must not be very good. Otherwise, any family would not let a 17-year-old girl come out and do such work."

  Li Lixue fell silent. This man was too terrifying. From the people around him, he seemed to be a high-ranking figure. Extremely high skills and frightening observational abilities. Li Lixue felt powerless for the first time.

  At this time, Nie Zhenbang stood up and said in a very overbearing tone: "It's settled then. You don't have to sell things on the way anymore. Once you arrive at Asta, get rid of the goods in your hands as quickly as possible and start working officially."

  Next, Li Lixue didn't go down. And Nie Zhenbang and Liu Kun, after the initial curiosity and excitement, also lost interest. This is a long journey, six days and six nights of running time. It can be said that it is the longest single-trip train in the world.

  The car stopped at Moscow Station. Su Zhenhua also packed up his goods. Five big bags of goods, along the way, Su Zhenhua had already sold a lot. By the time he arrived at the station, there was only one bag left.

  Dà lóng hé hǔ zǐ cǐ kè yě bēi shàng le liǎng gè dà bāo. zhè shì Lǐ Lì Xuě de huò wù. Yī xíng rén, hào hào dàng dàng, jìn rù dào ā sī tài shì chǎng. zhè lǐ, shì Huá Xià huò wù hé shāng rén de jí zhōng dì. zuì xǐng mù de jiàn zhù, liǎng gè jí zhuāng xiāng pīn qǐlái de fáng zi. zhōu wéi, bù shǎo dàng dì rén dā jiàn qǐlái de péng zǐ.

  At that time, Asuta was far from being as popular as he was after his relationship with Hua Su became public. Li Lixue had been on the run for so many years and naturally had her own connections. She quickly found a local Chinese merchant and sold off her goods at almost cost price.

  This point, again, made Nie Zhenbang appreciate this woman. She can indeed be called a strange woman. Such important goods, yet she can get rid of them so easily. Decisive in her actions, she's got the makings of someone who can do great things.

  Metropol Hotel, a five-star hotel located in the heart of Moscow. It is situated near Red Square. Next to the Bolshoi Theatre and the State Historical Museum of Russia, and not far from the Kremlin. At that time, this place was also on par with the Beijing Hotel.

  At this moment, Nie Zhenbang and others have all put on a brand new outfit. Dalong and Huizi are both wearing deep-colored cashmere coats with fur collars, Liu Kun is wearing a wolf skin coat, while Nie Zhenbang himself has changed into a black sable coat. Li Lixue, however, is wearing a fox-fur coat with a fur collar. The high-end clothes bring out Li Lixue's temperament.

  Nie Zhenbang made a beckoning gesture, looking at Li Lixue who seemed somewhat embarrassed. "Evelyn, my current identity is Kim Jong-seung of North Korea. Liu Kun is my assistant, and Dalong and Hu Zi are my bodyguards. And you, for the time being, are my companion. Do you understand?"

  Nie Zhenbang is now about 1.83 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure. Adding to that, although Nie Zhenbang is young, his face looks very mature. At this moment, standing together with Li Lixue, they complement each other perfectly. Li Lixue's face flushed for a moment, looking a bit shy, hesitated for a second, and then linked her arm with Nie Zhenbang's.

  A group of people walked into the hotel with a swagger. At this moment, Liu Kun, who had already completed the check-in procedures, came forward: "Third Master, I have booked the rooms. Suites 505 and 506 on the fifth floor. It seems that tonight, you will have to share a room with Miss Li."

  Nie Zhenbang didn't have too many thoughts. The hotel only had these two empty rooms, and there was no other way about it. He waved his hand and said: "Kunzi, let's not discuss these trivial matters. Have you called General Ashayev?"

  General Akhmedov, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Union. This is an old friend of the old man from those years. In the Soviet military, he is also a figure with great influence. This time, Nie Zhenbang came over and the old man introduced his old connection to Nie Zhenbang. As Nie Zhenbang was new here and didn't know anyone, even if he knew what would happen in the future, there was no way for him to get ahead. But through Akhmedov's words, the road ahead will be much smoother.

  Liu Kun immediately said seriously: "I just borrowed the phone from the hotel front desk and called over. I've already made an appointment with General Asherov, saying you'll visit him later. This Asherov, after learning that you are the grandson of your family's old master, was very happy and said he would send a car over immediately."

  At this moment, outside, two GAZ-67s with Soviet military license plates stopped in front of the main entrance. Two soldiers got out of the car and walked into the hall, their eyes fixed on Nie Zhenbang as they approached him directly.
