Chapter 1196: Chapter 998 Large Aircraft Project

After thinking it over, Lily urged Donia:

"Then call him and just say...

just say you want to invite him to dinner!

After all, he invited you yesterday, so it’s only fair for you to invite him back."

Donia felt tempted, initially planning to call Wang Ye after seeing him and invite him to dinner...

But now that she had actually met Wang Ye, especially after learning about his true identity, she became uncertain about whether to make the call.

Because she was worried that Wang Ye might misunderstand her intentions after the call.

Would he think she was trying to get close to him on purpose after learning about his identity?

Moreover, as a big shot like him, he must be incredibly busy with his schedule; what if he didn’t have time...

In any case, Donia thought of many "reasons" to convince herself not to make the call.

So, she finally declined, "It’s probably best not to; look, Misha... Mikhail is surrounded by so many people and has to discuss official business with the China delegation; he surely won’t have time to come out for dinner with me."

Lily sighed, frustrated, "So you’re not going to contact him? You’re waiting for him to contact you? Please! That’s the first Vice Speaker of the Duma, one of the most powerful people in Moscow! Having met such a big shot, can’t you take a bit more initiative?"

Donia hesitated for a while but ultimately shook her head firmly...

Although she too wanted to meet Wang Ye again and clear up her doubts, she was even more afraid of being misunderstood or looked down upon by Wang Ye...

If she missed this opportunity just because she didn’t make that call,

She would accept it as fate ordained.

That way, she could at least hold onto a beautiful memory...

After Donia and Lily returned to the hotel, both washed up and lay in bed, tossing and turning late into the night without falling asleep.

Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Donia’s cell phone was right next to her pillow, fearing she might miss an important call.

Unfortunately, until she drifted off in a daze, the phone did not ring...

......

The next morning, Wang Ye got up and went to the hotel’s banquet hall for breakfast with Vice President Li.

The China delegation was leaving in the morning, and as the host, Wang Ye naturally had to see them off.

After breakfast, Wang Ye and Vice President Li had a casual coffee chat while accompanying personnel were busy packing up, preparing to leave the hotel.

Governor Vasily was also busy, personally arranging the departure convoy, as well as the airport’s scheduling and security measures.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye and Vice President Li were quite at leisure.

Since their arrival yesterday, Vice President Li had hardly had any time to be alone with Wang Ye. Finally having a moment to themselves, without any "unwanted presence," gave them a chance to talk a bit.

In a subtle manner, he said, "Chairman Mikhail speaks Chinese very well; I’ve heard that your father is of Chinese descent, which seems to have deeply influenced you."

Although it was well known that Wang Ye spoke excellent Chinese, during public talks, each would have a translator sitting behind them.

Wang Ye spoke in Russian, Vice President Li in Chinese, followed by simultaneous translation to facilitate their conversations.

Since they both represented their country’s image at those times, they had to speak their country’s official languages, which was also a diplomatic etiquette.

But now in their private conversation, they didn’t need to be so formal, and Wang Ye spoke directly in Chinese.

Hearing Vice President Li say this, Wang Ye smiled faintly and reflected,

"Yes, ever since I can remember, my father has always taught me to be an ambitious, patriotic individual who loves his people.

He used to tell me a Chinese proverb that I still remember vividly.

’When poor, one must first ensure personal survival; when capable, one should help the world.’

This saying has also been the principle by which I live my life, although my abilities are still lacking, and I am still striving for the latter part."

In these words, Wang Ye also subtly conveyed some meaning.

Someone of Vice President Li’s stature could naturally understand it, he smiled knowingly, full of admiration,

"Chairman Mikhail indeed lives up to his reputation. I hope that with our joint efforts, our two countries can promote mutual growth and development!"

Wang Ye nodded and said,

"It definitely will be. The next decade will witness a century’s worth of significant changes, and it is also an optimal window for development.

If we fall behind in this great global economic development, we will never have another chance to redeem ourselves!

Therefore, the responsibilities are tremendous and the road long..."

These words carried significant weight, causing Vice President Li to suddenly become solemn, his brow furrowing as he pondered the implications of Wang Ye’s words.

Wang Ye did not elaborate further, as conveying the message was sufficient; he trusted the political wisdom at the top level of his country.

Such a large country, with so many people and thousands of years of history, surely did not lack in talent in this area. Even though he was reborn, it did not necessarily mean he understood the world better or saw further than those people...

After a while, Vice President Li finally regained his smile and said to Wang Ye,

"I’ve heard that Chairman Mikhail is also a very successful entrepreneur. Currently, our side is in urgent need of revitalization, and all sectors are flourishing.

From the central government to the local authorities, everyone is working on attracting investments, especially foreign investment, which comes with very attractive policies.

If Chairman Mikhail has any new investment intentions, we are very welcoming."
