Chapter 1007: Chapter 903 New Year’s Eve_2

But there are already quite a few hotels and shopping malls in Crimea, won’t this lead to redundant construction?

Moreover, most of the hotels and malls are owned by Crimea Investment Company, so wouldn’t this mean we are competing with our own people?

This matter hasn’t been formally communicated by Xiao Ying Group yet, so I don’t know if it’s a confirmed plan. I just wanted to ask for your opinion first."

The reason Nalan Yaqi brought this matter up to Angelina was because whether it was investing in hotels or constructing shopping centers in Crimea, it would basically require purchasing land from Crimea Investment Company.

Unless you plan to build your hotel and shopping mall in some desolate and godforsaken place...

Any moderately good location for land is under the control of Crimea Investment Company!

So, if Xiao Ying Group wants to expand its investments, it must first buy land from Crimea Investment Company or take over some of the projects that Crimea Investment Company has already started.

Although this development plan for Xiao Ying Group was personally set by Wang Ye, Angelina didn’t know about it.

So, seizing the opportunity of Wang Ye’s visit, she wanted to probe his intentions.

If this was not Wang Ye’s idea but simply a plan by the management of Xiao Ying Group, she would prioritize the interests of Crimea Investment Company. Business is business, and she wouldn’t be soft-handed when hiking up the prices!

But if it was a development plan set by Wang Ye, then she would unconditionally cooperate.

Even if it meant giving a few excellently located plots of land to Xiao Ying Group for free, it wouldn’t be an issue.

After all, whether it’s Xiao Ying Group or Crimea Investment Company, both are under Wang Ye’s umbrella.

Wang Ye shook his head slightly; he had drunk two more glasses during the conversation and was feeling a bit tipsy.

It seems he still couldn’t hold his liquor, not even red wine...

"Indeed, this is the case. This is the direction I’ve set for Xiao Ying Group. Relying solely on the gambling center is not enough. In the future, Xiao Ying Group should develop towards the hotel and luxury mall sectors, since these are businesses legal worldwide," he explained.

Since it was a direction set by Wang Ye, there was no problem.

Without hesitation, Angelina nodded and said, "Then I understand. When Xiao Ying Group contacts me next time, I will let them choose the plots they like."

"Hehe, don’t give away too much either. After all, Xiao Ying Group isn’t just mine, but Crimea Investment indeed is our own. We still need to prioritize the interests of Crimea Investment Company and give them a fair price." Wang Ye laughed.

Indeed, if we were to talk about ’closeness,’ Crimea is undoubtedly the ’favored son,’ while Xiao Ying Group is more like an ’illegitimate child.’

Natalia didn’t talk much, but she was very attentive when it came to pouring drinks.

Taking advantage of the break in the conversation between Wang Ye and Angelina, she poured them both another generous half glass and raised her glass saying, "Come on, drink up. We have plenty of time to talk about these work issues later. With such a nice atmosphere tonight, let’s not talk about these things. Misha, it’s rare for you to come over, don’t make it feel like a business trip."

Wang Ye shook his head and smiled, "Ah, indeed. What are we actually striving for? Even though we’ve climbed to high positions, life has become busier than before.

Sometimes I really think about letting everything go and retiring, finding a beautiful place in Crimea to settle down.

Wouldn’t life be much easier than it is now, free from so many troubles?"

He said this, but Wang Ye himself knew it was just a bit of grumbling.

He was in no position to just drop everything and leave.

Not to mention, the Kremlin would never let him go, and there were so many people relying on him for their livelihood.

If he ran off, what would happen to those people...

One needs to have a sense of responsibility, after all.

Besides, life may be busier now, but it is quite fulfilling.

Isn’t there a saying, a man of stature cannot live without power for a day!

If he really retired and lived a quiet and leisurely life, he probably wouldn’t be accustomed to it.

Of course, Angelina and Natalia knew he was joking; it was an utterly impossible scenario.

With Wang Ye’s age, having achieved such a position of power, he had no choice but to keep moving forward, with no way back...

.........

Eating, drinking, and chatting, the room was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, and time was quickly slipping away.

The two women knew Wang Ye couldn’t hold his liquor well, so they didn’t let him drink too much.

Natalia poured him just under half a glass each time, while she and Angelina filled their own glasses more than half full!

Unbeknownst to them, there were already two empty wine bottles on the table, and now they were on the third!

By now, Wang Ye was a bit tipsy, propping his chin with his hand and looking at the two women with a blurred gaze, unable to distinguish which was Angelina and which was Natalia, but they were both so beautiful...

"Hehe, I almost forgot something.

Tomorrow is New Year’s...

I... should give you gifts.

Tell me!

Whatever you want, I can satisfy you!"

As he spoke, Wang Ye swung his arm generously.

If anyone else had said such a thing, it would have been boasting, but coming from Wang Ye’s mouth, it was no joke.

You could say that as long as it wasn’t too outrageous a request, he really could make it happen.

Angelina also seemed a bit confused, and after hearing Wang Ye’s words, she chuckled foolishly, frowning as she tried hard to think.

What gift should she ask for herself...

Comparatively speaking, Natalia was doing much better than the two of them.

Though her cheeks were blushing and her big eyes were watery as if about to drip with water, her gaze was still clear.

It seemed that among the three, the worst at handling alcohol was without a doubt Wang Ye, while the best was Natalia!

Angelina hadn’t thought of a gift yet, but Natalia had already spoken up.

She moved her chair closer to Wang Ye’s side, sitting next to him, almost tumbling into his embrace.

But in this moment, in this setting, neither Wang Ye nor Angelina would pay attention to these little details.

Natalia took Wang Ye’s arm and shook it, whining, "I want... to be the Attorney General!"

When she began speaking, Wang Ye almost misunderstood...

Hearing Natalia aspire to be the Attorney General, Wang Ye looked at her somewhat puzzled and countered, "Does Crimea have that position? Aren’t you already a senior prosecutor?"

As far as Wang Ye knew, only sovereign countries like Russia and Ukraine have the position of Attorney General.

That position, of course, is the leadership of the highest prosecutorial institution in the country, so you can imagine its level!

Natalia’s face was very close to Wang Ye, her breath felt on his skin, and Wang Ye suddenly realized that this girl was quite pretty too...

"Once Yanukovych and Yulia win the election, they can appoint me as the country’s Attorney General, right? Don’t forget, Crimea’s judicial system is aligned with that of Ukraine, and it was the Supreme Procuratorate of Ukraine that issued my prosecutor’s license," Natalia said with a smile.

Wang Ye slapped his forehead as if that indeed was the case.

He had only been thinking of Crimea as a Free Trade Zone.

He nodded without hesitation:

"That shouldn’t be a problem! Anyway, after the New Year, I’ll be going to Kiev for a while. Come with me, and I’ll introduce you to the Ukrainian prosecutorial system through Yanukovych first.

It would be best if you transferred to work at the General Prosecution Department before the election.

That way, once Yanukovych and his team triumph, you’ll be legitimately appointed as the Attorney General."

In just a few words, Wang Ye had prearranged the candidate for Ukraine’s next Attorney General, a minor issue for him.

Otherwise, why would he spend so much effort and capital to support Yanukovych and Yulia?

After saying this, Wang Ye turned his head only to find that Angelina, deep in thought, had unexpectedly dozed off on the dining table. It seemed she too had drunk too much...
