Codename-Anastasia-Chapter 59 - 4.13 Honey Trap

The Russian Embassy is in Korea.

The president's goodwill visit and the Royal Ballet's performance in Korea are coming in a month. Of course, the embassy's work is also in a state of emergency. The staff spent a busy day answering phone calls that rang as soon as they got to work, receiving and sorting incoming faxes one by one, sending dispatches to relevant organizations and responding Various questions received via email.

After the official event ended, the embassy planned to hold a 'Russian Night' event for cultural exchange between Korea and Russia. That's why every department feels like it's sitting on fire. In addition, visa applications for students preparing to study abroad or train are also lined up so long they don't have time to breathe.

Unapproved documents continued to pile up on the ambassador's desk. Assistant Pavel Menshikov sighed deeply as he placed another stack of papers on it. There hasn't been a day without a sigh since the new ambassador was appointed.

It was sad to serve a young ambassador. but he also didn't want to be judged as an incompetent assistant. His eyes darkened when he heard that Zhenya was appointed as the next ambassador. because he was as famous as the president in his native Russia. No matter how many times he hoped it was just a baseless rumor.

But by the third month of the announcement there was still none of the feared chaos. In a way, it was a very natural result because the ambassador only appeared when he felt like it and usually didn't leave the house. There are no troublemakers, so there can't be any problems.

Around the time he was considering whether or not he should take over the overdue work on Zhenya's behalf today, there was a knock on the door, and soon the door opened. The Secretary of the Department of Culture and the Secretary of the Politburo entered one after another. They opened their mouths as if they were too tired to ask about the familiar scene taking place in front of them.

"Where did the Ambassador go again?"

"I wish someone would tell me."

"Tsk tsk, there are too many documents."

"It should be done in a day or two."

All three sighed in unison and shook their heads.

"I wonder if the Kremlin knows where he went to like that after leaving his phone behind on a day like this."

"How could they not know? They just pretended not to know. No, this was expected from the beginning."

"I heard this appointment was personally requested by the ambassador. Why Korea?"

"Who knows. Even the biological mother who gave birth to him may not know."

Another sigh came from the three of them. Counting out the remainder of his term, the future seems even bleaker. They don't even want to work anymore.

The assistant still tried to explain the current situation as optimistically as possible.

"It's nice to see him in a good mood every once in a while. Have you heard from Russia? They say that just the slightest bit of anger can turn everything around him into a mess. Maybe it's better to let him do as he pleases and just stand around and observe."

The two scribes nodded in partial agreement. They were complaining about the delay in work, but in reality, they were also happy not to have to meet Zhenya. That's because of the rumors related to him. There are even rumors that there is a single one-man unit of the FSB. Everyone is understandably reluctant to become part of his unit. It's best not to cause trouble with your superior, whose emotions fluctuate very erratically.

Ambassador work is never idle. As a top level diplomat, Zhenya represents Russia itself, so he has many foreign affairs tasks to deal with, and personal matters are also very important.

However, the Kremlin's ridiculous personnel reshuffle should be attributed to the relationship. I can't take it off, and after rubbing it many times, it's hard to keep it, so it's better to just send it far away. If Zhenya himself wants to go, there is no reason to hesitate.

Embassy staff have been drastically changed into competent diplomats, and there's a reason for that. Apparently they had anticipated the consul general's frequent absences and negligence from the moment he was appointed. Even if they realize it now, nothing will change.

"Come to think of it, what is the identity of the Korean belonging to our embassy?"

"I know, right? I also checked this out a while ago and was a bit confused. They said to contact the ambassador if we want to find that Korean employee."

The two secretaries took turns asking questions. In fact, not only them but all the employees in the embassy were curious about it, because no one had ever seen a Korean proudly write their name on the staff list. They don't know what he does or what he looks like. It's just that the special ambassador hired him, so he must be an acquaintance of his.

The Secretary of the General Department of Politics expressed dissatisfaction.

"Tch tsk. A person appointed through an umbrella hires another umbrella person."

"He is an atomic bomb, not just an umbrella. No, it has to be a nuclear weapon."

The words were full of metaphors but no one objected. They laughed and continued their work.
