Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1332 - 1066: Going All Out

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1066: Going All Out

In the political arena, some things appear entirely different to different people, and only those who can see beyond the surface to the essence can go further and make the right choices.

In this respect, Rossiyana was no match for Misha, it really made one wonder how this youngster had become so seasoned at such a young age.

Looking at his performance since he entered the political arena, there had never been a so-called "adaptation period," he had jujumpedight into the state of affairs, demonstrating negotiation skills that were far more astute than many veterans who had toiled in the political arena for decades.

Perhaps, it could only be said that this was what they call a genius, born with innate knowledge!

He was born for politics, and so naturally thrived like a fish in water upon entering the political arena...

Seeing that both Wang Ye and Constantin remained silent, Rossiyana asked with some confusion, "What, did I say something wrong?"

Constantin hurriedly forced a smile and laughed, "Right! You are not wrong, Medvedev has indeed gained the trust of the Kremlin; so, you see, I am somewhat worried about three years from now..."

As he spoke, he gave Wang Ye a meaningful glance, believing that Wang Ye certainly understood what might happen in three years.

Of course, Rossiyana was not slow either. Although she seemed somewhat "naive" compared to Wang Ye, she was quick on the uptake. She immediately grasped what her grandfather meant by "three years from now."

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Wang Ye, hesitating to speak.

Regarding Constantin’s question, it was difficult for Wang Ye to evade, because the vaguer he was, the more Constantin would worry, and it could even lead to misunderstandings.

After all, they were now "family," so it was best to speak his mind candidly and then discuss together to see what the best choice would be.

He thought for a moment and carefully said, "As for the matter of the General Election three years from now, my father-in-law and I have also discussed it several times. Not to hide it from you, my father-in-law once hoped that I would stand out and join the General Election to take over his position. But I declined..."

Constantin kept his expression neutral, waiting for Wang Ye to continue.

Rossiyana, upon hearing this, widened her eyes in disbelief because she could not understand why Wang Ye would decline.

Wang Ye had also told her that he didn’t want to join the General Election and just wanted to work on the Duma side. But at that time, her father-in-law had not explicitly stated that he hoped Wang Ye would take over, so Rossiyana thought Wang Ye was worried about causing a conflict with her father-in-law, which was why he was reluctant to join the General Election.

But now, since her father-in-law had made his stance clear, hoping Wang Ye would succeed him, why would Wang Ye still refuse!

If it were her, she would be thrilled...

...

Wang Ye paused, then continued:

"The reason I declined is that I believe my base is still in the Duma. Although currently, my influence in the Duma is not too bad.

But after all, I am only the Vice Speaker, even if I am the first Vice Speaker, I am still not the Speaker.

So, I think it’s reasonable for me to compete for the Election Speaker in the next term. The position in the Kremlin is not something I need to consider for now.

That means to say, I will not participate in the General Election in three years.

Similarly, my uncle Khodorkovsky will not participate in the General Election; he has become less interested in politics and thinks that philanthropy suits him better, haha."

Although Constantin somewhat disagreed with Wang Ye’s decision, he couldn’t say much, after all, Wang Ye had his own considerations. In the end, he was merely the "grandson-in-law" of the family, and even that connection had not been formalized through marriage yet.

Had it been Rossiyana, Constantin would have definitely tried to earnestly persuade her to "awaken" to her senses.

Rossiyana, on the other hand, was quite supportive of Wang Ye’s decision because she was very interested in the position at the Kremlin. If Wang Ye were to participate in the General Election, then there would be no role for her.

But now that Wang Ye would not participate, it meant full support for her in running for the General Election, greatly enhancing her chances of success!

Therefore, she immediately nodded and said, "That’s right; Misha and I have also talked about it before. In the next General Election, he will support me. And in the Duma Election, our Faction should be able to secure quite a few seats, of course, we will fully support Misha for the position of Election Speaker."

Constantin couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and dismay. Did Wang Ye really need help to compete for the Election Speaker?

Even if Rossiyana’s Royalist Party won dozens of seats in the next Duma Election, it would hardly make a difference, as it was likely that the major Factions in the Duma had already come to a tacit agreement, and the next Speaker was all but confirmed!

But these things were not good to point out directly, otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like Rossiyana was a bit... foolish...

He coughed slightly and spoke, "Hmm, I’m relieved to see you supporting and helping each other. But you should also realize that the General Election three years later is not going to be that simple, and even with Misha’s full support, winning the election won’t be easy for you. You need to think for yourself, compared to Medvedev, what advantages do you have?"

Rossiyana was stunned for a moment, her eyebrows knitting as she obviously struggled with comparing her own strengths and weaknesses to those of Medvedev.

After a long while, she had to depressingly admit that Medvedev had the advantage over her in every aspect.
