Chapter 1199: Chapter 999 The Charm of Power_2

"Weren’t you in a meeting with the school leaders getting praised? What’s going on, did the meeting end? What do you need your stuff for?"

Donia hesitated for a moment but still told her, "Misha... Chairman Mikhail has invited me to go to Lake Baikal with him to be his guide, so I’m going out for two days."

Hearing this, Lily suddenly jumped up, her face flushed with excitement, "Really? Really? The Chairman invited you to accompany him for two days?"

Donia quickly corrected her, "He invited me to be a guide to tour Lake Baikal, not to accompany him!"

Lily said nonchalantly, "Isn’t that the same thing? Don’t worry about those details. Donia, as your friend, I must tell you something very seriously, that is, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime! You must, must seize it, otherwise you will absolutely, absolutely regret it for your whole life! You know what I’m talking about. You’re a smart girl; you should know what to do!"

Donia’s face turned pink, and she seemed on the verge of speaking but ultimately said nothing, just quietly packed her things and went downstairs.

Lily, watching Donia’s retreating figure, had eyes full of anticipation.

She truly hoped her good friend Donia could "rise from the ashes and become a phoenix" and turn into a superstar!

In that case, she herself would benefit immensely in the future...

...

When Donia walked downstairs, she was startled to find the principal and several leaders had not left but were waiting for her downstairs.

Seeing Donia coming down, the principal hurried forward and took the small suitcase from Donia’s hand, saying enthusiastically, "It’s too hard for a girl like you to carry so much luggage. Here, let me carry it for you and send you off to the car."

Donia didn’t even know what to say; her small suitcase really wasn’t heavy at all and could be moved with just one hand.

However, since the principal had offered, she couldn’t deny him this bit of face. In her heart, she also understood that the principal’s actions were not really out of concern for her own fatigue but rather an excuse in hopes of meeting Chairman Mikhail when sending her to the car!

She had just told him that Chairman Mikhail’s motorcade would be coming to pick her up soon...

Seeing the principal and the leaders with their obsequious expressions, Donia suddenly realized that she still wasn’t fully aware of "Chairman Mikhail’s" power and influence.

The principal, who loomed so large in the eyes of his students, was now so eager to curry favor with her just because Chairman Mikhail had invited her to be a guide.

What would the principal and leaders act like if they met Chairman Mikhail in person...

That must be the allure of power!

...

Thankfully, perhaps for fear of displeasing Chairman Mikhail, only the principal, a vice principal, and a department head followed Donia to the school gates to wait for Wang Ye’s motorcade.

Such art schools usually don’t have large campuses, and neither are they top-tier institutions.

While waiting for the motorcade to arrive, the principal and the department head took the opportunity to give Donia another round of reminders.

In essence, they told her to make sure to "serve" Chairman Mikhail well!

Clearly, their view was the same as Lily’s; they believed this was a golden opportunity that Donia must grab with both hands!

Of course, their way of speaking was not as "blunt" as Lily’s; they conveyed their message to Donia in a more implicit manner.

As long as she could win the Chairman’s favor, whether she wanted to develop her career in Moscow or stay in Irkutsk, her future would be bright.

Whether she wanted to continue dancing, move into the entertainment circle, or even change careers, as long as she could gain the approval of Chairman Mikhail, she would have so many options!

Now, who doesn’t know that Chairman Mikhail is not only powerful but also currently the biggest oligarch and the richest man in Russia?

Someone who has clout in both the political and business realms could easily help a girl; it wouldn’t be too easy...

...

Bombarded with such persuasion, Donia didn’t know what to do anymore; the little conviction she had was nearly dissipated.

She felt a bit lost, wondering if all those years of hard dance practice had been in vain, utterly incomparable to the effectiveness of a casual remark from a big shot?

She used to dance well too, and had a certain fame within the ballet circle in her state, which was why she had been selected as the lead dancer for this performance.

But these school leaders had never treated her like this before... with such flattery!

At most, they would offer reserved encouragement, urging her to continue working hard.

However, ever since they learned of Chairman Mikhail’s appreciation for her, their attitudes changed completely...

Donia knew all too well what had caused this change.

So, should she give her all to ensure that Chairman Mikhail’s admiration for her would continue?

......

As Donia and the others waited with bated breath, it wasn’t long before they saw a convoy speeding towards them from a distance.

Apart from the Land Rover Range Rover in the middle of the convoy, the rest were Land Cruisers, all sent from the Wagner Base nearby because they were going to camp in the wilderness, and the security level obviously needed to be much higher than in the city.

Therefore, aside from the few security personnel Wang Ye had brought from Moscow, the base had directly assigned two elite combat teams, totaling more than twenty personnel, to protect Wang Ye’s safety.

Donia and the others didn’t need to guess to know that Chairman Mikhail had arrived!

In Irkutsk, others wouldn’t have such a "procession" when travelling, because they couldn’t match up...

Donia subconsciously straightened her clothes, and she wasn’t the only one to do so. The principal and the other two people hurriedly tidied up their appearance, fearing that any flaw might leave a bad impression on Chairman Mikhail.

The convoy roared up to the gate of the school and came to a stop, and the window of the black Land Rover in the center rolled down, revealing Wang Ye’s face.

Several fully armed security personnel also jumped out of the cars, vigilantly surveying the surroundings for potential threats.

Wang Ye as well saw the few people waiting at the gate of the school.

He smiled and waved to Donia.

Donia hurried forward, with the principal lugging a suitcase quickly following behind. The other two, holding nothing in their hands, felt a bit intimidated by the grandeur in front of them and hesitated to approach.

But thinking about how rare this opportunity was, even though they might not get to talk to Chairman Mikhail, just being seen by him was an enormous honor!

Enough to boast about for many years...

So, the two also braved up and walked forward.

Reaching the car, Donia, being "sensible," took the initiative to introduce the principal and the other two following her to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye opened the car door and stepped out, courteously shaking hands with the principal and the others, which surprised them even more, leaving them at a loss for words.

The principal had just been about to invite Wang Ye into the school to inspect and offer guidance on their work when Wang Ye spoke first, "Donia, let’s get in the car, we still need to hurry to Lake Baikal, we’re on a tight schedule."

This made the principal immediately hold back his words, merely smiling awkwardly as he said goodbye to Wang Ye and Donia.

......

The convoy had already turned and was driving away, but the principal was still standing by the roadside, arm raised high, waving goodbye.

It was only when even the taillights were out of sight that he reluctantly lowered his slightly aching arm and turned to the vice principal and the department head behind him with a sigh:

"Chairman Mikhail really... looks even more... even more imposing than on television!"

In truth, he had intended to say "younger," but the words felt inappropriate on his lips, so he changed his wording at the last moment.

To be honest, talk of an aura was too abstract, ’he put on quite a show’ was more to the point...
