Chapter 1060: Chapter 930: Dealing with Which One _2

"Chairman Mikhail, it’s me, Dania. I was just in your office yesterday..." the person hastily called out.

Wang Ye waved his hand, signaling the security personnel to let the person through.

Today’s Dania seemed to have deliberately dressed up, looking quite different from yesterday.

Yesterday she was in sportswear, slim and even slightly frail, but still agile and full of energy.

Today, she was clad in a dark business suit, wearing high heels, her hair meticulously styled, appearing every bit the professional beauty.

Wang Ye smiled and asked her, "What brings you here so early?"

"Didn’t you say yesterday that if I could resolve the homeowners’ compensation contract issues, I should come work for you?

I’ve settled all the contracts already, so here I am for work today," she replied earnestly.

Wang Ye was slightly taken aback, Dania’s efficiency was that high?

He truly hadn’t expected it!

That community had around a thousand people, yet Dania had managed to settle all the homeowners’ compensation contracts in just one afternoon?

What’s more outrageous, just yesterday morning she was leading everyone in chanting slogans, saying they’d rather die than accept the government’s compensation terms...

Did those homeowners trust her that much?

Without any doubt, whatever she said or did?

Perhaps noticing Wang Ye’s surprise, Dania felt a bit proud inside. Her capabilities were quite strong, weren’t they!

Wang Ye did not ask further and simply nodded, "Alright, come in with me."

Arranging a job for Dania was truly trivial.

He currently had two and a half real assistants...

Yelena and Bakova were legitimate assistants, while Nova was only half an assistant.

However, under Yelena and Bakova, each of them supervised several secretaries.

After all, the range and volume of things Wang Ye needed to manage were far too vast, and he’d truly be too busy without enough people.

Every day, all kinds of miscellaneous tasks, as well as various documents, work reports, spreadsheets, applications, etc., were first delivered to the Secretary Department, organized and summarized by the secretaries, and then handed to either Yelena or Bakova.

They would sort and categorize them, filtering out the important tasks that needed to be presented on Wang Ye’s desk. The rest, either not so important, were filed for record, or directly handled by the two with instructions and stamped...

If Dania wanted to stay by Wang Ye’s side without yet having earned his full trust, then she would have to "suffer" a bit as an ordinary secretary.

......

After arriving at the office, Wang Ye called Yelena over and pointed at Dania, saying, "This is Dania, she used to be a lawyer. She’ll work as a secretary under you from now on, just follow the usual protocol for her treatment, no need for special accommodations. And keep an eye on her, she might not be very honest."

If he didn’t clarify, Yelena might think that Dania had some special relationship with Wang Ye and would surely give her special treatment.

Given Dania’s thickness of face, Wang Ye had no doubts that she might flaunt her supposed connections in the Secretary Department, pretending there was more to their relationship, pulling a fox borrowing the tiger’s fierceness...

So, he decided to make things clear upfront and didn’t leave any face for Dania, bluntly saying she wasn’t very honest...

If it were another girl, probably she would have cried out loud if evaluated so directly by Wang Ye in front of her, but Dania acted as if she hadn’t heard it, still curiously looking around, assessing the décor of Wang Ye’s office.

Yelena looked at Dania in astonishment; she didn’t know that this young girl had been "brandishing her claws" leading a protest of over a thousand people on the street yesterday, aiming to ruin Wang Ye’s reputation.

Yesterday, Yelena was not with Wang Ye when he went down, and when Dania came to the office, Yelena was absent too, so this was her first time seeing Dania today.

Initially impressed by Dania’s demure appearance, she had quite a good impression of her.

But now hearing Wang Ye introduce her like this, she immediately sensed that this girl was not simple...

Yelena had been with Wang Ye for several years, but she had never heard Wang Ye speak so... harshly about someone in person, especially a young girl!

One could imagine, in Wang Ye’s heart, Dania probably didn’t leave a good impression!

But Wang Ye kept her as his Secretary...

Anyway, it’s quite strange.

......

After Yelena led Dania away, Wang Ye shook his head and sat down at his desk to start today’s work.

These past few days, he had been pondering how to make a move against the Moscow Faction.

However, this matter was a bit troublesome.

Because previously, Wang Ye and the Moscow Faction had always kept to their own spheres without interfering with each other, and there hadn’t been much conflict. Their "spheres of influence" also didn’t overlap too much...

Oh, there’s no need to mention the Duma.

Although the Moscow Faction had once been the Second Faction in the Duma with a considerable number of seats!

But that was in the past. Now, in the Duma, the Moscow Faction had pitifully few seats, and the Party leader Kornov was also very low-profile, as if often acting with his tail between his legs...

The main area of influence of the Moscow Faction was still in Moscow and the surrounding satellite cities, basically within the entire Moscow State.

From top to bottom, the Governor, the State Council, various Government Departments — most of the key positions were held by people from the Moscow Faction.

But due to Russia’s current condition, it was difficult for either the Kremlin or the Duma to meddle in the state-level affairs and those below.

Because both the Governor and the State Council were elected!

That was somewhat awkward.

This was why the Kremlin had consistently said it wanted to tackle the Moscow Faction, and Wang Ye had previously issued severe threats to deal with the Moscow Faction, but ultimately, there was no action taken, and the reason lay here.

Unless a major conflict was provoked, it was difficult to substantially harm the opponent.

But there seemed to be no need to stir up such a commotion, so he was also reluctant to bother...

However, this time was different. This time the Moscow Faction had taken the initiative to provoke him, and their move was extremely vicious, intending to destroy Wang Ye’s political career!

This could not be tolerated. Wang Ye had to respond decisively, otherwise, others might think he was easy to manipulate!

But if he were to make a move, whom should he target...

Actually, there was no need to think too much. From the Moscow Faction side, the only ones truly worth Wang Ye dealing with personally were two people.

One was Kornov, the Party leader, who was also the Deputy Speaker of the Duma and represented the Moscow Faction there.

The other, naturally, was Luzhikov!

He was the truly influential figure!

Since the year the Former Soviet broke down, he had been serving as the Governor of Moscow, and now, in 2005, he was still in office!

In terms of seniority, currently in the Moscow political arena, hardly anyone could match him...

As for Wang Ye, in front of Luzhikov, he was practically just a greenhorn!

Clearly, Luzhikov was also the soul of the Moscow Faction!

Last time, he was even keen to participate in the Kremlin election but was intimidated by Wang Ye and his father-in-law, eventually deciding not to enter the fray.

However, now the days weren’t so good for the Moscow Faction, and it seemed they wanted to stir up some trouble because if they didn’t make a move soon, they would probably just fade away slowly.

In the Duma, they were nearly "swept out the door," and in the next session, their seats were expected to further decrease!

If their influence in the Duma completely dissipated, that would trigger a chain reaction, gradually weakening their influence within Moscow State...

But why they had chosen Wang Ye as their target was something Wang Ye didn’t quite understand.

Perhaps they thought Wang Ye had shallow roots and was easier to deal with?

Indeed, there was this possibility. After all, compared to the prominent figure in the Kremlin, if anyone had to choose an opponent, they would probably pick Wang Ye!

......

Between Kornov and Luzhikov, Wang Ye was now contemplating which one to confront!
