Chapter 1117: Chapter 958: This is Impossible_2

This...

I’m really treating myself like a fool!

Although I’ve never been abroad, I’m at least a junior college graduate from an older generation, and that counted as being highly educated back then!

Even if I’ve spent my whole life working in small places, a few years ago when I was working in the townships, I took the chance to "inspect" many big cities in the name of work; I’ve seen quite a bit of the world!

I also often read the "People’s Daily" and listen to "CCTV News", paying close attention to major events worldwide.

So how could I be fooled by these absurd stories!

Mom, however, looked at Wang Ye with a puzzled face, not understanding what he meant and oblivious about what "entering politics" entailed.

...

Wang Ye sighed, indeed, proving "I am who I am" is truly a troublesome matter...

He stood up, took out a laptop from his suitcase, and turned it on.

This laptop could connect to satellite internet, accessing the IPSTAR satellite communication system. Although the internet speed wasn’t very fast, it was sufficient.

He directly pulled up the official website of the Duma and then turned the laptop screen to show his parents, introducing,

"This is the official website of the Russian Duma.

Dad, you should know what the Duma is for, right?"

Dad nodded his head in confusion. He had heard of the Russian Duma, and although he didn’t understand it well, he had a rough idea.

"Is this similar to... what we have in our country?" he hesitantly asked.

Wang Ye wasn’t sure how to compare it to domestic institutions, as there’s nothing quite like it at home.

He could only vaguely say, "It has more power than our institutions, but the main job functions are similar."

"Why are you showing me this? Are you working here?" Dad asked incredulously.

He thought, could it be that Wang Ye actually made his way into the Duma!

To become something like... a Congressman’s assistant?

But with all that wealth, instead of doing business properly, he chose such a job.

It seems this kid has a real craving for an official position!

A bit like myself...

Wang Ye smiled without saying anything, just clicked on a section on the Duma website.

Of course, this site was all in Russian, which his parents clearly couldn’t understand. In fact, the section opened by Wang Ye was to introduce the various Vice Speakers of the Duma.

He didn’t rush to open the column about himself, but first clicked on the first column, and the webpage displayed a Russian man in his fifties, with an authoritative face and graying hair.

"His name is Grezlov, the Duma Speaker. The party leader of the First Faction in Russia, highly respected and deeply experienced within the Duma," explained Wang Ye.

Dad and Mom nodded blankly, not understanding why Wang Ye was introducing this person, wondering if Wang Ye was an assistant to this big shot?

That would be quite impressive...

The Duma Speaker, if such a position were in our country, wouldn’t that be...

a senior official of formal national level!

Yet, Wang Ye said nothing more, skipped over the second column, and clicked the third column, revealing a somewhat frail-looking foreign man, apparently in his sixties, with graying hair as well.

"His name is Rilinov, the party leader of the Third Faction in the Duma, another deeply experienced politician," Wang Ye continued.

Without waiting for his parents to react, he immediately clicked on the fourth column, and there was Kornov.

"Kornov, the party leader of the Fourth Faction and the Vice Speaker of the Duma. However, due to factional changes, he’s currently sidelined," Wang Ye said with a smile.

Dad couldn’t hold back any longer and interjected, "What do these people have to do with you? Who exactly are you an assistant for?"

Wang Ye smiled faintly and clicked on the second column that he had intentionally skipped earlier.

The webpage refreshed, revealing someone familiar to mom and dad, yet suddenly the person seemed very strange to them...

"Ah!"

"It’s you?!"

Both exclaimed at the same time, leaning forward to bring their heads closer, almost sticking their faces to the laptop screen.

Because the young man on the screen, dressed in a sharp suit and bursting with energy, was none other than Wang Ye!

"You... How is your photo on here?" Dad asked in astonishment.

Wang Ye said seriously,

"Next, let me introduce this person to you.

His name is Mikhail, the current Vice Speaker of the Duma.

He also serves as the Chairman of the National Economic Committee and Director of the National Foreign Affairs Committee.

He’s also the party leader of the Duma’s second-largest faction!

He is hailed as the most outstanding young politician in Russia in nearly a century!"

That last phrase wasn’t self-praise, but a genuine accolade from many media outlets for Wang Ye...

Mom and Dad’s mouths were agape as they looked from the screen to Wang Ye, then back to the screen, then to Wang Ye again...

They felt that the young man on the screen was Wang Ye, but they had just heard Wang Ye introduce him as "Mikhail." What on earth was going on? They were utterly baffled.

"Oh, I now have a Russian identity, and my name is Mikhail. You’re right, the person on the screen is me," Wang Ye said calmly.

Mom’s mind was still a blank slate, not having processed it yet.

But Dad had already stood up with a "whoosh."

It was unclear whether he was more excited or nervous, his body trembling slightly, his lips quivering as if wanting to say something, but for the moment, he couldn’t even speak.

Wang Ye then took out a small notebook from the suitcase beside him – this was his Russian passport. He originally wanted to show it to his parents, thinking that would prove that everything he said was true.

But then he thought again: he was confused too.

The passport was all in Russian, and his parents wouldn’t understand it...

He had to put the passport back and asked his parents with a wry smile, "Do you have any questions for me now?"

Dad finally managed to speak, though his voice was a bit hoarse, as he kept shaking his head while standing there, "I don’t believe it! This is impossible! Impossible! I absolutely don’t believe it..."

In any case, he repeated himself for a while, just to express his disbelief.

Mom was now frantically grabbing Wang Ye’s arm, touching his forehead as if checking on him, "Son, are you alright?"

What could be wrong with Wang Ye!

He had considered the impact of these revelations on his parents and had thought about this moment beforehand.

That was one reason why he had always hesitated to tell them. He was afraid to scare them!

But since he had decided to come clean this time, he thought it might not be such a bad thing to lay everything out and let his parents know his true situation.

After all, the two people in the whole world least likely to harm him were undoubtedly his parents!

Now he was scratching his head as well, wondering what he could do to prove he was truly "himself"...

...

This moment, Dad was just walking in circles in the living room, mumbling "Impossible, impossible, impossible..." non-stop.

As for Mom, looking dazed, she was clutching Wang Ye’s arm and looking at him with concern, as if seeing a "foolish child."

With the things Wang Ye had said, if he were to tell anyone in China, they’d probably think he was insane, including his parents.

Because it was precisely his parents who knew him best. Just a few years apart, and their son had become completely "unfamiliar," uttering what seemed like nonsense. It was no wonder they were worried.

It’s like if your family has always been quite ordinary, and when you went to university, your parents only gave you a thousand yuan a month for living expenses. To save money, they wouldn’t let you travel by high-speed rail, only allowing you to use discounted train tickets for students on the green trains.

Then, after suffering through university for several years and just as you’ve returned home, your dad solemnly tells you that he’s actually the richest person in the country, with a fortune of several billion yuan!

You’re still dazed, thinking dad must have had too much to drink.

But that’s not all!

He then tells you that he also has a hidden identity as the Speaker of the Senate of the United States!

What would your reaction be...

You’d probably react just like Wang Ye’s parents are now, either thinking it’s all tall tales or that the person has lost their mind...
