Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 153 Sleepless Night_1

Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Sleepless Night_1

Perhaps in Khodorkovsky’s eyes, there’s nothing he can’t achieve now in today’s Russia...

But it’s no wonder, this group of oligarchs, their wealth accumulated too swiftly, too effortlessly.

In just about a decade, they became billionaires, with immense power to shape Russian politics!

One could even say that the Emperor himself ascended to the throne with their support!

Perhaps there were some undisclosed agreements behind the scenes, but that’s now lost to history...

Wang Ye couldn’t claim to "see" the future development, so it was hard for him to persuade Khodorkovsky.

He could only wait until Khodorkovsky hit some roadblocks, learned some lessons, before trying to guide him again, which might prove more effective...

Seeing Khodorkovsky’s confidence, Wang Ye dropped the matter and steered the conversation to other topics.

He smiled and asked, "Uncle A Bu’s mansion is really enormous; you must also have a similar mansion, right? When can I pay a visit to your home and meet your wife and younger brother and sisters?"

Wang Ye didn’t know about Khodorkovsky’s family situation. Big Head Kong had once mentioned that Khodorkovsky was married and had a son and a daughter.

Now that he is also considered Khodorkovsky’s "nephew", and moreover, since Khodorkovsky is indeed very good to him, it is only proper for him to take the initiative to visit his family tree.

In return, Khodorkovsky laughed out loud and replied:

"I don’t actually own a mansion, I don’t like living in such remote places. I bought an apartment in the city center. But I usually stay at the company and rarely go home. Besides, your aunt and your younger brother and sisters all live in London, they likely won’t be back any time soon. My son is only twelve years old this year, and my daughter is fifteen, I hope they will grow up to be as excellent as you, then I would have less pressure."

Khodorkovsky is only in his forties this year, it seems he’s quite career-minded too.

And, having his family move abroad clearly means that he has a backup plan.

As they chat, the convoy has already arrived at the base of the Yukos building.

Wang Ye didn’t go upstairs but bid Khodorkovsky farewell and prepared to return to his apartment.

.........

Wang Ye’s convoy, compared to Khodorkovsky’s, is far less impressive.

It still only consisted of a black Mercedes Benz and a white Cruiser...

With the streets of Moscow being incredibly empty in the morning, the two cars sped along, reaching the base of Wang Ye’s apartment building in just over ten minutes time.

"Alright, you guys go rest now. Come to pick me up at one in the afternoon to go to the market," instructed Wang Ye to Anton before heading upstairs.

As he pushed open his door, he saw Angelina lying sideways on the sofa, seemingly asleep.

Just as he tip-toes in, Angelina on the sofa is awakened and sits up immediately.

Seeing Wang Ye’s return, she immediately gets up, a look of delight filling her face as she rushes to greet him.

"Misha, you’re back."

Wang Ye looked at Angelina and could not help but frown.

Because he saw that Angelina looked haggard, and even had dark circles under her eyes, like she had not slept well.

"What happened to you? You have dark circles under your eyes, what were you up to last night?" Wang Ye asked jokingly.

Angelina combed her slightly messy hair and embarrassedly said, "You didn’t come back all night and didn’t call either. I... I was a bit worried and couldn’t sleep all night."

Wang Ye was stunned there.

This was something he indeed hadn’t expected. So much had happened last night, and he hadn’t returned home.

He had indeed forgotten to tell Angelina.

He didn’t expect that this silly girl was waiting all night for his call and didn’t get any sleep!

Gently pulling Angelina into his arms, their cheeks pressed together as they kissed each other.

Normally, they would have parted after such a cheek kiss, but Wang Ye did not let go, instead holding Angelina even tighter.

Angelina also enjoyed leaning on his shoulder, not saying a word.

After some consideration, Wang Ye decided not to hide anything from Angelina. They would have to face it sooner or later, so it’s better to tell her sooner.

"Last night... I went with Khodorkovsky to see Uncle A Bu, and also the boss of the ACT Group, Maylov, along with a high-ranking official from the Kremlin," Wang Ye said cautiously.

He did not mention Gavriil’s identity, there was no need.

"Um..." Angelina hummed in response.

"Mainly to mediate the conflict between Khodorkovsky and Maylov, and I guess they’ve made up. Maylov offered the Xiao Ying Hotel as an apology gift, do you know this hotel?" said Wang Ye again.

"I’ve heard of it, it seems quite famous and it’s not far from Friendship University," replied Angelina.

"This hotel is now ours," Wang Ye asserted.

This surprised Angelina. She lifted her head and looked at Wang Ye, wanting to see if he was joking.

But seeing the seriousness on Wang Ye’s face, Angelina knew that Wang Ye was not joking, then is this really happening?!

"What... what does this have to do with you, why is the hotel yours?" She asked in surprise.

"Long story short, Khodorkovsky is not my uncle, right? He didn’t care much for the hotel, so he gave it to me," Wang Ye said helplessly.

Alright, this was certainly beyond Angelina’s comprehension.

After all, she knows the "real" relationship between Wang Ye and Khodorkovsky!

Even if they were actual relatives, it wasn’t likely for them to be this generous, right?!

All she can say is, what an oligarch, on a scale that ordinary people can’t even imagine!

After a pause, Angelina then asked: "That hotel..., it should be worth a lot of money, right?"

Although she had never been there, she had heard of the Xiao Ying Hotel. It was clear that the hotel was incredibly valuable.

"The estimated value is at least over 100 million US dollars, and it’s priceless, can’t be sold," Wang Ye answered truthfully.

Now it’s Angelina’s turn to feel dizzy...

She began to doubt Wang Ye’s true identity!

Could it be that Wang Ye is not just a student studying abroad from China, but Khodorkovsky’s own son?!

Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why Khodorkovsky treats him so well...

Even for one’s own son, wouldn’t this be the utmost generosity?!

The problem is, she knew Wang Ye before he rescued Khodorkovsky, she witnessed his work as a study abroad agency agent, buying shops, rescuing Khodorkovsky...

So she could confirm, before Wang Ye rescued Khodorkovsky, he truly was a student studying abroad in Moscow, well, he was just a bit... smarter than the average student studying abroad!

......

Apparently, the "surprises" were not over yet.

Wang Ye then said, "Uncle A Bu also gave me a present."

"It can’t be another hotel! Or... a company?" Angelina asked wide-eyed.

Wang Ye looked down, feeling somewhat bashful about looking into Angelina’s eyes.

He stammered, "No, it was... a woman!"
