Chapter 1453: Chapter 1126: Far Ahead_2

Since it’s unstoppable, I might as well go with the flow. This way, I can earn some gratitude, making Wang Ye remember the favors I’ve done for him...

After a long while, the father-in-law let out a long sigh, nostalgically sweeping his gaze around the office where he had spent nearly ten years!

In about a month’s time, this place would no longer be his, and who knows what identity he would have when he visits next.

He shook his head with self-deprecating humor, bitterly laughing about his own greed.

To have sat in this position, stable and secure, for ten years should be enough satisfaction!

Moreover, although he had not been able to fulfill the promise he made to everyone in the beginning—to lead the country back to its peak—he could say at the very least that the country’s overall condition was much better in all aspects than it was ten years ago.

Plus, with Wang Ye taking over his position, someone who had a great deal of respect for him, it goes without saying that his own ending shouldn’t be too bad, and future generations would probably not be too harsh in their judgments of him!

His historical mission was already complete; now it was up to the young people like Misha and Medvedev...

...

"Misha, I can congratulate you in advance."

In the grand living room of the mansion atop the hill, Rossiyana was sitting next to Wang Ye on the sofa, watching television. The news was broadcasting the vote count from the first day of the General Election, and Wang Ye was leading by a large margin!

Rossiyana felt somewhat mixed emotions as she said this.

Although she had anticipated this outcome, and she would be happy for Wang Ye’s election, she had just been "eliminated," and back when she was running, she had used every trick in the book and still appeared to be struggling heavily.

But her husband had seemed carefree, easily securing nearly all the votes.

Was the gap between them really that wide...

Wang Ye shook his head and said cautiously, "This is only the first day of the General Election; no one knows what might happen next. So, it’s not time to pop the Champagne yet."

Although he said so, Wang Ye nearly ruled out the possibility of any mishappening. After all, he had taken all factors into account, and all the necessary work and arrangements had been made.

If he still couldn’t succeed, it would mean that there was an even more formidable master hiding behind the scenes waiting to strike at him!

But was there such a person in the political arena of Moscow?

Wang Ye believed that at least for now, there was not...

However, he couldn’t afford to be arrogant until he had completed the inauguration ceremony and officially assumed his father-in-law’s position!

"In another two or three days, this round of the General Election should be over. Didn’t the news just mention it? Most of the voters cast their ballots today, and just counting today’s votes can already guarantee your winning percentage will be over fifty percent. So maybe you’re being overly cautious!" Rossiyana rolled her eyes at him and pouted.

Wang Ye was a bit stunned. He had indeed overlooked this point—indeed, the news had just mentioned this, though they didn’t seem very certain since detailed data hadn’t been produced yet. It was still just the journalist’s prediction, though it was highly probable to be true.

"Alright, there really shouldn’t be any surprises. We can start preparing for the inauguration ceremony a month from now. At that time, it’s uncertain which country’s leaders will come to observe. We can’t afford a shabby turnout; it would be so embarrassing," Wang Ye joked.

This was indeed a problem worth considering and also the time for Wang Ye to showcase his international contacts.

If only a few foreign dignitaries show up at the inauguration, although no one would say anything, it would still feel a bit desolate and show that he had few "friends."

Thus, most people who win the election would begin sending out invitations as soon as they confirm their victory.

For instance, current leaders from brotherly neighboring countries, politicians from countries with good relations, or one’s personal friends among politicians.

If one truly can’t invite heavyweights, they might have to resort to inviting some famous stars or business tycoons to "make up the numbers."

Of course, Wang Ye wouldn’t let it be so pitiful; at the very least, he should be able to pull in the leaders of the Collective Security Organization member countries to make the scene look good!

After all, among the members of the Collective Security Organization, Russia is the real "big brother" and the leading authority!

Moreover, other member countries get a sum of "poverty alleviation funds" from Wang Ye every year, so calling them his "financier daddies" is not an exaggeration at all!

Thus, upon Wang Ye’s inauguration, at least a dozen leaders from neighboring countries will attend as a show of support.

Of course, having only the leaders of these smaller countries would still seem somewhat insufficient; ideally, a few heads of state from major countries should be present to make the event dignified.

As for what constitutes a major country, it definitely refers to the level of the "Permanent Five"...

Wang Ye thought about it; it was unrealistic to expect the United States, where he had no contacts or influence, coupled with the fact that there had been no similar precedent between Russia and the United States.

However, it is worth considering the three countries of England, France, and Germany.

As for the United Kingdom, needless to say, Wang Ye’s daughter-in-law’s family and the British Queen are "relatives," so looking at this face, they should send one or two important political figures, and as for the Royal family, it goes without saying that they will certainly come to show support.

Germany and France have a good chance too; after all, we are all European "neighbors," and we have been continuously supplying these two countries with oil and gas resources. There is a great space for future cooperation; surely, they will give face and attend.

The question is whether it will be the top leaders who come in person or just send a special envoy to do the job!

Of course, it’s expected that the "neighbor" to the east will send some heavyweight figures over; in fact, they are Wang Ye’s real "relatives".

Being able to come this far, if one could say which country’s leadership is the happiest, even more so than Wang Ye himself, to celebrate, it would certainly be that neighbor to the east...

Because Wang Ye’s rise to power signifies the start of an exceptionally close cooperative relationship between the two countries!

Oh, and a large number of African "brothers" should also come.

This is thanks to Wagner’s achievements, having influenced dozens of African countries directly or indirectly through years of operations on the African continent!

Being the genuine "Boss," he definitely has the clout to have these African brothers come to support.

Beyond that, there are the Middle East, Southeast Asia...

...

The two of them counted on their fingers for a long time and were astounded to realize that Wang Ye’s inauguration ceremony could have a truly impressive array of guests!

Just in terms of political figures, there could be upwards of a hundred heads of state attending, not to mention special envoys and the like; and of course, relatives from the European Royal Family were undeniable...

As for the business world, even less needs to be said; if Wang Ye is willing to send out invitations, there probably isn’t any tycoon who would refuse.

For them, receiving an invitation from Wang Ye is an honor, elevating their status!

"So many people, just sending out the invitations will probably keep your Secretary’s office busy.

But once you officially take over the Kremlin, you’ll need to expand your personnel again, and this time, don’t recruit just pretty girls. After all, your status and position will be different from now on, and countless people both domestically and internationally will be watching your every move," Rossiyana said seriously.

Indeed, Wang Ye is currently serving as the Deputy Speaker Duma, so even if he is surrounded by beautiful secretaries, outsiders don’t pay much attention, as most of his position’s work is internal.

But after taking over the Kremlin, it really becomes the focus of worldwide attention!

Just as Rossiyana said, countless eyes will be on him, and his every word, action, and move will be scrutinized!

Even if Wang Ye and his beautiful secretaries have never had anything more than a working relationship, others may not think so; if rumors were to fly, it would indeed be troublesome.

After all, from then on, he represents the image of the entire country of Russia!
