Chapter 1315: Chapter 1057: Taking the Initiative_2

Zhang Xiaoxi should be twenty-four or twenty-five this year. In a few more years, she’d be considered a "leftover woman" who has passed the usual age for marriage—something not to be taken lightly.

He straightforwardly asked, "I admit, I have feelings for you, and you must have some feelings for me too, right?"

Zhang Xiaoxi’s heart suddenly pounded; Wang Ye had actually admitted that he liked her!

As for herself, she of course also liked Wang Ye and simply nodded in agreement.

But Wang Ye added, "However, you know I’m already engaged. No matter how the outside world views my relationship with Rossiyana—be it a political alliance or a trade of interests—we are definitely going to get married unless something unexpected happens. So, I can give you many things, but the one thing I cannot offer you is marriage and a family. Have you thought about that?"

How could she not have thought about it? Zhang Xiaoxi had pondered it all before coming to Wang Ye’s room, but now she didn’t care about anything else. She just wanted to indulge herself this one time and not leave any regrets in her youth!

Thus, Zhang Xiaoxi answered Wang Ye’s question with her actions.

She turned around, her eyes brimming with tears, and then threw herself into his arms, whispering low, "Don’t talk about those disheartening things—I just want one beautiful night..."

Wang Ye wasn’t the type to dither. Since Zhang Xiaoxi had made her choice, he had no reason to hesitate!

It was a beautiful and perfect moment, and the night passed without a word...

...

The next morning, after getting out of bed, the two had breakfast together. Zhang Xiaoxi seemed in much better spirits than Wang Ye.

She was radiant, her face glowing, and she was consistently cheerful, smiling all the while.

Conversely, the dark circles under Wang Ye’s eyes were quite pronounced, and he looked somewhat tired, yawning occasionally and likely in need of some sleep once on the plane...

After breakfast, they would each go their separate ways again. Zhang Xiaoxi, holding Wang Ye’s hand with some reluctance, her eyes slightly moist, said softly, "Take care of yourself... You’re so busy every day; don’t wear yourself out..."

Wang Ye gently stroked Zhang Xiaoxi’s silky black hair and smiled, "Don’t worry, I have a whole medical team constantly looking after my health. But you, always running around, you really make me worry."

At Wang Ye’s level, health was of utmost importance. Indeed, he had a team of top internal and external medical experts constantly monitoring every health indicator.

Plus, Wang Ye had good physical health and maintained healthy exercise habits, so health issues were practically nonexistent for him!

For him, working healthily for fifty years isn’t just a slogan; it’s something he could actually achieve.

Beautiful times are always fleeting. Just as their relationship had deepened, they had to face separation.

But that was inevitable. Fortunately, both Wang Ye and Zhang Xiaoxi were not indecisive. After a tender moment, Zhang Xiaoxi said goodbye to Wang Ye and continued with her work on acquiring properties in Central.

And Wang Ye had to head to the airport to fly back to Moscow...

...

At the airport preparing to depart, Wang Ye waved goodbye to the Xiangjiang government officials and business representatives who had come to see him off.

Surprisingly, Superman Li personally came to the airport to send off Wang Ye.

As they shook hands to say goodbye, Wang Ye made a point of showing off his wrist, smiling to Superman Li, "This watch is beautiful; I really like it."

He was wearing the platinum Reference 2499 that Superman Li gave him, with a deep brown crocodile leather strap and a platinum bezel engraved with intricate antique patterns, featuring a moon-phase perpetual calendar—truly striking.

Such an expensive watch, only Wang Ye would dare to wear it casually; others would keep it treasured.

Even Superman Li, who had collected it for so long, had never dared to wear it. He only occasionally took it out to admire it and hadn’t even removed the plastic bag.

Superman Li, although feeling a bit heartbroken, maintained a very natural expression and cheerfully said, "This watch really suits you, Chairman Mikhail. I helped it find a good owner."

This wasn’t just flattery; Patek Philippe’s complex designs inherently possess what is known as "nobility temperament," which most people simply cannot pull off!

Only someone like Wang Ye, holding a high position with a powerful aura, always surrounded by people, and frequently wearing custom-tailored suits, could wear it naturally without it looking out of place.

After exchanging a few polite words with Superman Li, Wang Ye told him that he would call Angelina when he returned, to inform her about Yangtze Group’s interest in investing in Crimea.

Then, Superman Li could simply send someone to negotiate directly.

Superman Li, of course, was also familiar with the name "Angelina."

In the current political landscape of Crimea, the union of the legislative, administrative, and security powers were all held in the hands of this young woman!

It could be said that as long as Angelina agreed, Yangtze Group’s entry into Crimea would be smooth sailing.

As for the relationship between Angelina and Mikhail, Superman Li didn’t want to delve into it too much; it wasn’t necessary. After all, his ultimate goal was simply to ensure this path was viable.

Upon hearing this, Superman Li naturally showed great joy, as even for him, two hundred billion Hong Kong Dollars was not a trivial sum.

His interest in investing in Crimea was not a whim but the result of years of observation!

When the Crimea Investment Company was first established and Wang Ye invested heavily in infrastructure in the Crimea Peninsula, Yangtze Group had already taken notice.

In collecting business intelligence, these large companies are very cautious, as investment opportunities won’t just present themselves but need to be actively sought worldwide.

However, initially, they only began monitoring; Eastern Europe was generally poor, and whether Crimea could truly develop was anyone’s guess. Yangtze Group wouldn’t dare wade into the murky waters there before the situation had clarified.

As Crimea’s tourism industry thrived, the dust settled on Ukraine’s election, the global free trade port was established, and a series of policies were implemented, Superman Li felt the time was ripe!

The time to invest in Crimea was now. If he invested heavily at this moment, he could still reap the benefits; waiting another two years might leave him without even scraps...

Of course, some not-so-secret information about Crimea also came to light under Superman Li’s investigation.

For instance, in Crimea, the most powerful person was Chairman Angelina; the company holding the most land and controlling many vital industries was the Crimea Investment Company. Ukraine’s attitude towards Crimea was intriguing, offering significant ease and freedom there. Moreover, both the newly elected high-ranking officials of Ukraine and Chairman Angelina had the same influential figure behind them.

That influential figure was Moscow’s Chairman Mikhail...

These details weren’t difficult to investigate, nor were they top secret. A keen investigator like Superman Li could easily uncover them.

Of course, deeper secrets were beyond his reach, and frankly, he didn’t want to touch those so-called secrets for fear of stirring up significant trouble!

...

Wang Ye’s public service special aircraft soared directly into the sky, heading toward Moscow.

Once the flight stabilized, Wang Ye felt sleepy due to the hard work and lack of rest the previous night...

Unfortunately, since this was a public service special aircraft, it lacked the luxurious amenities of his private plane and didn’t even have a bedroom, so he had to make do with reclining his seat to sleep for a while.

When Nova woke him up, the plane had already reached Moscow Airport, and Wang Ye, after that sleep, was refreshed and vibrant.

To Wang Ye’s surprise, it was Rossiyana who personally came to the airport to pick him up.

She was usually very busy, now serving as the Governor of Moscow State, managing the largest and most populous continent in all of Russia; of course, she would be busy.

There must be something important...
