Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1054 - 927: Turning From Darkness to Light_2

Chapter 1054: Chapter 927: Turning From Darkness to Light_2

I always hope that my country can become better and better!

In the past, I felt there was no hope, thinking that no one could lead Russia back to its peak.

As for Mikhail, she used to be prejudiced and misunderstood him, mainly because of Mikhail’s background, having an uncle who is a big oligarch.

Moreover, as soon as he entered the political arena, he rose rapidly, never really encountering any setbacks, and in just three or four years, he claimed the throne of the Duma’s First Vice Speaker.

Even his actual power is greater than that of the Duma Speaker!

He also got himself a fiancée who is a legitimate heir of the Romanov family, connecting himself to the European Royal Family...

In Dania’s eyes, she always felt that such a person couldn’t possibly be a "decent person"!

But today, she unexpectedly discovered that perhaps such a person really does exist!

All along, she may have misunderstood Mikhail, and in fact, she didn’t understand the real Mikhail at all!

If what he said earlier was true, then this man really has the hope of leading Russia to its former glory...

......

Behind Wang Ye, Grezlov and Rilinov also felt full of emotion, and a little shocked.

They originally followed Wang Ye down, thinking that he had never experienced such a scene and might be a bit stage-shy.

Therefore, at such times, the two of them, as Wang Ye’s former leaders and seniors, must stand by his side to give him support and strength!

When they came down, neither of them had expected today’s demonstration to be resolved peacefully.

They were all ready to be cursed by the demonstrators, even to the point of being pelted with rotten eggs, alongside Wang Ye.

But what they had never anticipated was that after they came down, within a short time, Wang Ye directly turned the situation around!

Not only did he not suffer any abuse or insult, but he also earned the respect of everyone present!

Some people were even so moved on the spot that they began to express their willingness to cooperate with the government’s demolition work and to contribute to the construction of the CBD...

Many people even became his loyal "fans," saying they would unconditionally support him in whatever elections he ran in the future!

This is too incredible...

The two of them had known Wang Ye for quite some time and thought they understood him well.

Naturally, they very much recognized his capabilities, even believing this young man was the brightest star on the Moscow political arena in recent years, without a doubt!

But at this moment, they had to admit that they still underestimated this young man.

......

No matter what these people around him thought, Wang Ye waved his hand and said aloud to everyone:

"It’s getting late, time for lunch.

What are you all still doing here? Hurry and go back.

If you need to work this afternoon, go to work; if you need to sign contracts, go sign them, and don’t waste any more time.

Today I won’t invite everyone to eat, there are too many people, I can’t afford it, haha."

Laughter spread through the street, as if Wang Ye’s little joke was quite amusing...

Of course, with Wang Ye’s wealth, he could easily afford to host not just a thousand people but ten times that number.

The reason he said that was to get everyone to disperse quickly, so they wouldn’t block the area any longer!

And of course, everyone understood that.

So they started to leave in groups of two or three, each person waving to Wang Ye as they left.

The scene was quite bizarre.

If someone had just arrived at the scene and witnessed this harmony, they probably wouldn’t have a clue about what had happened here in the morning.

Perhaps, Chairman Mikhail had just performed a street act?

And the people who came down after were all his loyal followers...

No one could possibly imagine that these people, smiling and bidding Wang Ye a warm farewell, had just half an hour ago been waving flags and holding banners in protest of Mikhail’s "despotism"!

Wang Ye also kept his hands raised, waving goodbye to everyone, and watched the crowd disperse with a smile on his face.

It wasn’t until now that he truly let down his guard.

He had managed to defuse the crisis!

......

The crowd dispersed quickly, probably because they were really tired and hungry after shouting slogans and standing for a whole morning, eager to go back to eat and rest...

Before long, the once crowded street was almost empty.

All that remained were the policemen maintaining order, Ministry of Internal Affairs troops, and of course, Wang Ye and his group.

Wang Ye finally lowered his somewhat sore arm, intending to turn around and go back when he was surprised to discover that the lawyer named Dania was still standing at the bottom of the steps and had not left.

When Dania saw Wang Ye’s gaze sweeping over to her, she smiled and nodded at him, raised her voice but no longer used the loudspeaker, and said to Wang Ye,

"Chairman Mikhail, may I have a word with you alone? I believe I have something that might interest you quite a bit."

Wang Ye frowned. Something of interest to him?

Truth be told, he wasn’t very interested in Dania herself, but he was a bit curious about the things she represented.

Although even without Dania’s disclosure, he would probably find out soon enough on his own.

Still, Dania was a central figure in this incident and undoubtedly knew much more detailed information.

If she was willing to share it with him honestly, that would save him a lot of time and clarify exactly what had happened.

So, Wang Ye nodded and said to Dania, "Then come in with me."

......

After returning to the upstairs office, Wang Ye instructed Nova, "Bring two working meals, Miss Dania and I will chat while we eat."

The Duma Building did have a canteen, but Wang Ye didn’t usually eat there unless he was incredibly busy and didn’t have time to go out, only then would he opt for a working meal.

But today, after showing his down-to-earth side in front of everyone, of course, he couldn’t be wasteful in terms of food, so having a working meal was a good choice indeed.

Not much later, Nova and another secretary each came in carrying a tray.

These were working meals sent from the canteen.

Simple meals, yet still tasty, since they were meant for the Congressmen, the standard obviously wouldn’t be too low.

By now, Wang Ye had already started conversing with Dania.

Without beating around the bush, Wang Ye got straight to the point, "Who exactly put you up to this?"

Dania hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said, "Although they tried to conceal their identity and didn’t tell me who they really were, based on the terms we discussed, I would guess they are people from the Moscow Faction."

Wang Ye raised an eyebrow. Indeed, as he had suspected, the culprits turned out to be people from the Moscow Faction!

But he couldn’t understand why they would target him. Did they think he was an easy mark?

Now intrigued, he pressed on, "Oh? What kind of benefits did they promise you, to take such a big risk and do something like this?"

Dania had calmed down by now, and she chuckled, shaking her head, "No, I don’t think there is too much risk involved.

Because I really am a property owner in that neighborhood and a practicing lawyer, albeit a novice, but I’d consider myself quite versed in law.

So, if I’m exercising my rights under the law to protect my interests, and incidentally helping other owners from the same neighborhood defend their rights, what’s wrong with that?

Furthermore, even today’s rally and demonstration were lawfully declared and carried out with permission from the Police Department after a legal application!

The whole process was reasonable and legal, so I don’t see any danger in it.

If you suggest that I might suffer retaliation from you, I hardly think that’s likely, at least not any time soon.

Because if anything were to happen to me, there would be no need for investigation; I suppose everyone would automatically suspect you!"

At this point, Dania’s expression suddenly changed as if she had just thought of something.

Wang Ye looked at her and snorted, "What? You’ve thought it over and gotten scared after all?"
