Chapter 1198: Chapter 999 The Charm of Power

Just as Wang Ye saw Vice President Li off, the students who had participated in last night’s performance also boarded the bus at the Lake Baikal Hotel in the city, ready to return to their respective schools.

Donia, dragging a small suitcase, walked out of the hotel with Lily, ready to board the bus.

But before getting on the bus, she stopped in her tracks, looking around restlessly for quite a while.

Lily understood what she was looking for and sighed, "Can’t you just make a phone call? Stubborn pride only makes you suffer!"

Donia shook her head, "It’s not about pride, you wouldn’t understand..."

Having said that, she boarded the bus with a touch of disappointment because she hadn’t seen the person she was hoping to see.

Lily sneakily rolled her eyes at her, muttering under her breath, "Of course, I wouldn’t understand. Why else would the chairman notice only you, and not me..."

While she was muttering, Donia turned her head and called out, "What did you say? Hurry up and get on the bus, we are about to leave."

Lily quickly took a few steps forward, responding with a smile, "I’m coming, I’m coming."

Their school was not in the city of Irkutsk but in a small town dozens of kilometers away.

The bus rumbled along for an hour or so before it finally dropped them back at the school.

Upon her return to school, Donia received fervent praise from the school leadership and the faculty. Everyone complimented her on her excellent performance, saying she had brought honor to the school!

Of course, the school leadership also emphasized the fact that Chairman Mikhail had personally presented her with flowers, stating that this represented the recognition of Donia’s dancing skills by the upper echelons of Moscow, as well as an acknowledgment of the school’s teaching level!

Finally, a leader on behalf of the school solemnly expressed that they would commend and encourage Donia for her outstanding performance...

Donia knew in her heart that her performance mattered, but it wasn’t the sole reason the school valued her so much.

The most important thing was the bouquet of flowers Misha had sent her.

Of course, it was not the bouquet that mattered, but the man who sent it...

The school she attended was considered decent among the artistic institutions, but it was located in a small town near Irkutsk, far from the capital, so it rarely saw any big shots.

Perhaps the most senior official who had ever visited the school was from the education department...

This time it was Mikhail, the First Vice Speaker of the Duma, which explained the excitement of the school’s leadership.

Unfortunately, from last night till now, Donia had not received his call, making her feel a sense of emptiness, like she had lost something important.

As she was surrounded by a group of leaders and teachers, all caring for her well-being, Donia’s phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone, and her heartbeat immediately sped up, because the caller ID showed "Misha"!

Hastily excusing herself to the school leaders and teachers, she got up and moved to the side to answer the call.

Wang Ye’s voice came through, "Donia, I’m planning to spend a couple of days at Lake Baikal and was wondering if I could have the honor of inviting you to be my guide?"

Donia almost blurted out "I’m willing," but after all, she was a girl, she had to be reserved.

So she could only respond evasively, "Personally, I don’t have a problem, but I’ve just returned to school, and I need to ask for leave. Once the department head approves my leave, I can give you an answer."

Wang Ye laughed, "Alright then, I’ll start heading to your school to pick you up."

Clearly, Wang Ye hadn’t considered what to do if Donia couldn’t get the leave...

......

After hanging up the phone, Donia went back to the meeting room and said to the department head, "Um... Teacher, Chairman Mikhail would like to invite me to be his guide for a tour of Lake Baikal, and I wondered if I could take a couple of days off..."

Before the department head could respond, the school leader’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Was it Chairman Mikhail himself who called? He invited you to accompany him to Lake Baikal? Then you must accept! Better yet, try to invite Chairman Mikhail to inspect our school and enjoy our beautiful campus. I also want to report to the chairman about the school’s work!"

Donia said rather helplessly, "The chairman has a very tight schedule; he probably won’t have time to inspect our school. At most, he might stop by for a quick visit and then leave."

"That’s fine, that’s fine! There’s no problem at all with you taking leave. Chairman Mikhail doesn’t come to Irkutsk often, so we must do our best to be hospitable. Donia, since the chairman chose you as his guide, you must do your job well and show the charm of Lake Baikal and the warmth of the people of Irkutsk to the chairman..."

The principal was full of urgent reminders, fearing Donia didn’t realize the "importance" of this guiding job!

It’s just unfortunate that the chairman specifically named Donia. Otherwise, the principal would probably have "volunteered" to be that guide himself...

As for Donia’s leave, let alone two days, even two months, or two years!

I bet the principal would have agreed without hesitation...

......

Donia went back to the dormitory to pack her things quickly, which wasn’t much of a task since she hadn’t even opened the small suitcase she just brought back; she simply had to pull it along.

However, since she was going to Lake Baikal, the wilderness was different from the city, so she packed an extra thick, long down jacket.

Lily was still in the dormitory at that time. Startled to see Donia hurriedly packing her things, she asked in surprise,
