Chapter 1095: Chapter 947: Knowing People, Good Delegation_2

Similarly, when Kornov had a meeting with the congressmen of the Hilarwick Group, it was anything but secret!

He couldn’t hide it from anyone.

Yet Wang Ye even kept it from Luzhikov and Kornov, leaving them completely unprepared.

...

Wang Ye smiled, turned his head to look at Rossiyana, and said, "This question should be directed to Rossiyana because she was the one who handled it, and she did it so beautifully that even I am surprised."

He was also touting Rossiyana in front of his father-in-law, especially considering Rossiyana’s desire to take over the governorship of Moscow State, which would still require an appointment decree from the Kremlin...

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Ye say this, the father-in-law looked at Rossiyana with surprise.

Perhaps in his memory, Rossiyana was still the little kid who chased after him for chocolate.

That’s why, when Rossiyana expressed her desire to take over the executive position the last time, her father-in-law thought she was just being ridiculous and flatly refused.

"This is a good opportunity to tell everyone how you managed this, and I’m quite curious myself," Wang Ye said with a smile, encouragingly.

Her father-in-law also nodded, signaling for Rossiyana to share her experience.

So, Rossiyana briefly explained how her two key subordinates managed to persuade the Moscow Faction members. She was very candid and didn’t claim all the credit for herself.

Of course, she was well aware that such matters definitely couldn’t be kept from her father-in-law and Wang Ye. If they wanted to find out, there were far too many ways to get to the bottom of it.

With that in mind, it was better to be honest about it.

After listening, Wang Ye didn’t say much, but the father-in-law nodded in approval, saying:

"Not bad, knowing the right people for the job, allowing subordinates to fully utilize their talents—that’s indeed the most valuable skill for leaders!

You have grown up, and you really could try taking on some significant responsibilities."

With those words, the rest was easy to handle.

Seizing the chance, Wang Ye brought up the matter of Rossiyana becoming the Moscow Governor, and after a moment of contemplation, the father-in-law readily nodded in agreement.

He even joked:

"You can give it a try, but let me be clear upfront, if you don’t perform well in this position, don’t blame me for making you step down later.

And Misha, you won’t be able to protect her then either. You have to be impartial in official matters!"

Wang Ye laughed, "Rest assured, if Rossiyana doesn’t do her job well, you won’t need to intervene, as I will have her resign on her own accord!"

Rossiyana naturally promised her father-in-law earnestly that she would be fully committed and strive to do her job well.

In just a few words, the decision was made for Rossiyana to take over the big task of becoming the Moscow Governor!

The starting point of Rossiyana’s political career was much higher than that of Wang Ye!

When Wang Ye first entered the political arena, he was just an insignificant Duma congressman, and it was only through his own efforts, coupled with a little bit of luck and opportunity, that he attained his current status.

But for Rossiyana, she was directly ascending to the throne of the Moscow Governor—a position many politicians wouldn’t even dare to dream of in their lifetime...

Unfortunately, who allowed her to have such a strong background...

After deciding to appoint Rossiyana as the Moscow Governor, Gavriil suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Now that Rossiyana is to be Governor, she probably won’t enter the Duma anymore, right?

Your faction will surely want to participate in the next Duma Election, so who will lead the faction into the election?"

This was indeed an issue.

If Rossiyana wanted to establish a firm footing in the political arena, her Royalist Party was definitely a significant support that she couldn’t abandon.

After all, it would be a shame to give up a faction that was built with so much energy and financial strength and was developing so rapidly.

But now that Rossiyana was set to become the Moscow Governor, starting her career from the government side, there was no need to enter the Duma to "compete and struggle" with Wang Ye anymore.

So, deciding who would lead the Royalist Party to vie for Duma seats is an important question!

Both Wang Ye and the father-in-law looked at Rossiyana with interest, wanting to know her answer.

Rossiyana smiled and said, "We actually just discussed this issue within our faction today and have come to a decision.

At present, I only have two capable subordinates who are also highly esteemed within the faction, second only to me.

They are Stekhov and Du Jin.

When the time comes, Stekhov will accompany me to develop Moscow State, while the heavy responsibility of challenging for Duma seats will fall to Du Jin. This task suits him well; after all, he is both a theorist and an orator with quite impressive eloquence..."

Wang Ye nodded slightly. Rossiyana’s arrangements seemed quite reasonable; the "right person for the right job" praise his father-in-law had just given her was indeed not mistaken!

Among Rossiyana’s two generals, Stekhov is relatively more "martial" and has stronger action capability, making him suitable for government work.

And Du Jin, he is definitely fit for "mixing" in the Duma with his top-notch rhetoric!

So, Rossiyana’s arrangement was very appropriate and could certainly be considered assigning the right people to the right positions.

...

During dinner, the topic of Grezlov came up inadvertently, and my father-in-law’s face did not look very good.

He put down his knife and fork, furrowed his brow, and said:

"This time, it almost caused a big mess!

What kind of Speaker is Grezlov if he cannot even manage his own congressmen?

If it were members of another faction, it would have been bad enough, but a large number of congressmen from his own faction defected without his knowledge; this is absolutely a severe dereliction of duty!

Misha, do you think he still needs to continue as Speaker?"

Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly defended Grezlov:

"It’s not really his fault this time; I’ve come to understand that Luzhikov spared no expense to secure the votes of the Hilarwick Group congressmen!

Facing the temptation of a huge sum of money, it’s no wonder those members couldn’t hold their ground.

Besides, whether they voted for or against, it did not actually harm the faction’s interests, so they might have thought it did not matter much and didn’t communicate with Grezlov.

The Speaker is usually overwhelmed with so many tasks to handle in the Duma that overlooking some things momentarily is unavoidable.

However, in the Duma, he is still quite respected, and he has a high level of prestige.

If he were to resign suddenly, it would be difficult to find a suitable replacement for him at this time.

At least I’m not up to the task..."

Indeed, if Grezlov were to resign in acknowledgment of his fault, then probably no one would compete with Wang Ye for the Speaker’s position.

To put it bluntly, no one else is really qualified!

But the thing is, the Hilarwick Group still represents the majority of seats in the Duma as the first faction.

Logically, the candidate for Speaker should be chosen from within their faction.

If Wang Ye were to take over the Speaker’s position at this time, it would undoubtedly offend most members of the Hilarwick Group!

The relationship that was originally friendly could potentially sour.

And that wouldn’t be good for Wang Ye.

Although he currently holds only the title of "First Vice Speaker," his actual power and influence are in no way inferior to that of Grezlov, the acting Speaker!

Without drawing undue attention or arousing jealousy, yet still enjoying real power, how nice is that...

Therefore, he would prefer Grezlov to continue serving as Speaker, acting as a ’shield’ in front of him!

There is also another factor, which is merely Wang Ye’s guess and not very nice to say.

That is, is my father-in-law really willing and reassured to hand the position of Speaker over to me now...

After all, as the saying goes, private relationships are one thing, but I still do not belong to the Hilarwick Group!

Myself and my uncle Khodorkovsky, if it really comes down to it, are also potential threats to my father-in-law...
