Chapter 1094: Chapter 947: Knowing People, Good at Delegating

Faced with Gavriil’s sighs, Wang Ye couldn’t really say much either.

He certainly couldn’t say that Gavriil was right, that these old guys should indeed make way for young people like himself...

Wouldn’t that seem too impatient of him!

Besides, Wang Ye wasn’t in a hurry. He could detect the meaning behind Gavriil’s words, which likely included a test of his own intentions.

It was nothing more than wanting to probe whether Wang Ye had any further big moves planned, such as ousting Grezlov and taking his place?

Perhaps the Kremlin had already become quite dissatisfied with Grezlov, especially after what happened during today’s vote, where the Hilarwick Group congressmen shockingly chose to support Luzhikov. The Kremlin must have been shocked and displeased.

Grezlov, being the Party leader and the Speaker, had so little control over the Faction members. That was absolutely negligent and ineffective!

But if Grezlov were to be ousted now, and Wang Ye were appointed as Speaker, the Kremlin definitely would not be too happy about it.

Personal relationships aside, even so, Grezlov was still considered "one of their own," while Wang Ye belonged to an outsider Faction and hadn’t even openly declared support for the Kremlin during the General Election...

So the Kremlin also hoped that Grezlov could finish his term as the Duma Speaker smoothly and retire with dignity, then let Wang Ye take over in the next term, hoping that Wang Ye would not be too impatient...

No wonder the Kremlin had such concerns, just considering the scene that unfolded at the conference today. If Wang Ye took the opportunity to make his move, he indeed might be able to oust Grezlov and take his place!

That’s why Gavriil eagerly called to have a heart-to-heart with Wang Ye, also to test the waters and see if he really had such intentions.

Thus, Wang Ye could only respond vaguely, "We can’t condemn our seniors with a broad stroke just because Luzhikov is incompetent. There are still many officials with deep experience who perform exceptionally well. Like our Speaker Grezlov, and Rilinov, and of course, you!"

Gavriil seemed to be taken aback for a moment. He probably hadn’t expected Wang Ye to answer like this. However, he immediately laughed and said, "Me? I hardly count. Right, Misha, you and Rossiyana come over for dinner tonight. We need to talk about some matters afterward, such as Rossiyana succeeding as Governor."

Clearly, it was an invitation conveyed by his father-in-law, and Wang Ye naturally agreed promptly.

He did indeed need to talk with his father-in-law since Rossiyana’s smooth ascendancy to Governor required the Kremlin to step in and nominate her.

You see, Luzhikov had only just won re-election as Governor last year, and there were still a full four years until the next election!

If Rossiyana didn’t cause any major trouble in the next four years, and the Duma or State Council didn’t impeach her, then she would become Governor for a term without an election!

For someone who had just entered the political arena, this was unquestionably the best opportunity to gain experience!

If she had to run for election now, especially for the office of Moscow Governor, the outcome was really uncertain.

...

In the evening, Wang Ye and Rossiyana made their way to his father-in-law’s office, a route they knew well, and under Gavriil’s guidance, they entered the small dining room in the living area behind the office.

By now, his entrance into his father-in-law’s office wasn’t met with strict security checks anymore. The guards at the door just made a symbolic check before saluting and letting him through.

Of course, Wang Ye would have no dangerous intentions against his father-in-law; it simply wasn’t worth it...

Seeing Wang Ye and Rossiyana arrive, the father-in-law seemed very happy, coming forward to give each of them a warm hug.

"Misha, you did splendidly today!

When I heard that so many voted against in the first round of voting, I was worried for you, but I didn’t expect you had that move hidden up your sleeve.

However, this vote revealed some issues, namely that the members of the Hilarwick Group are far too selfish!"

In front of Wang Ye, his father-in-law spoke candidly, plainly stating the problems with the Hilarwick Group.

Although publicly, the Hilarwick Group’s faction in the Duma was called the "Unity Party," and his father-in-law himself wasn’t a member of the Unity Party.

But everyone was well aware of the actual situation.

Gavriil, on the side, also gave thumbs up, saying that after today’s battle, no one would dare underestimate Wang Ye again.

In fact, nobody dared to underestimate Wang Ye to begin with, but it was unexpected that, only a few years into politics and so young, his methods were already so cunning, even old foxes like Luzhikov and Kornov suffered a big loss at his hands!

Once they sat down, his father-in-law asked Wang Ye with a smile:

"When did you manage to secure so many Moscow Faction congressmen?

The most difficult part isn’t convincing so many congressmen, but that you managed to keep it a secret, without even Luzhikov and Kornov catching wind. That’s very challenging!"

It was true—turning those congressmen wasn’t particularly difficult.

One only needed to look at the members of the Hilarwick Group...

As long as Wang Ye was willing to offer enough benefits, he naturally could buy them over.

But as his father-in-law said, securing so many people without any word getting out was indeed very challenging!
