Chapter 189: Chapter 189: I treated you like a brother, yet you....._1

Nalan Yaqi’s expression faltered, her eyes widened, and she had the urge to lash out in temper.

But after some consideration, she didn’t lose her temper...

Because standing right in front of her now was not the "Wang Ye" who showed up in Moscow wearing an outdated down jacket a few months ago.

He was now Mikhail, the President of the New Sun Group!

She got this information from Angelina, who didn’t give her all the details, just vaguely mentioned that Wang Ye had become the president of the New Sun Group.

She didn’t give much thought to the name "Mikhail," since Wang Ye had chosen it as his Russian name.

Clearing her throat, Nalan Yaqi attempted to steer the conversation away, "My mom called me out of the blue yesterday, saying she is coming to check out some business opportunities and wants to meet you. How did you two get to know each other?"

Wang Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise, Liu Mei was coming to Moscow?

But then, it wasn’t all that surprising considering she’s starting a travel agency, naturally she would need to visit and inspect the place herself, else how would she promote it to customers in the future?

Considering the timeline, it’s been just over a month, her company preparations should be almost done.

But Liu Mei didn’t mention this to Nalan Yaqi?

He smiled and said, "Oh, your mom and I are business partners. She wants to get into Russian tourism, so I bought some shares."

Something about Wang Ye’s words made Nalan Yaqi feel uneasy, as if he was somehow mocking her?

But she couldn’t quite figure out why...

"A travel agency? What’s so special about this godforsaken place for tourism? It’s so far away. Do people really want to travel such long distances from home? I understand you’re rich now, so whether your small travel agency makes money or not doesn’t matter, but don’t let my mom get into trouble," Nalan Yaqi said annoyedly, putting her hands on the desk, and leaning towards Wang Ye.

helplessly, Wang Ye stood up from behind the desk, walked over, and draped his arm over Nalan Yaqi’s shoulder.

"What are you doing? You have a girlfriend. Don’t you dare have designs on me," Nalan Yaqi turned her head, eyes filled with caution.

"Oh please, I treat you like a brother. Who would want to take advantage of you? Besides, what’s there to take advantage of?" Wang Ye playfully glanced over at Nalan Yaqi’s rather flat chest...

This infuriated Nalan Yaqi; she was ready to kick up a fuss, but being held down by Wang Ye, she couldn’t do much.

"Alright, alright, let’s go over to the couch, don’t you want to know why your mom and I are doing business together?" Wang Ye chuckled.

Nalan Yaqi finally realized why she always felt like Wang Ye was mocking her...

She said indignantly, "Stop saying ’your mom, your mom’, it feels like you’re purposely swearing at me! Call her Aunt Liu!"

"Ha-ha, alright, Aunt Liu...This travel agency, is something Aunt Liu wants to start. And she’s the one who pulled me in as a partner," Wang Ye laughed, replying.

As he sat down on the couch next to Nalan Yaqi, he detailed how Aunt Liu discussed starting a travel company with him during his study abroad fair back home, why she wanted his cooperation, and more.

After listening, Nalan Yaqi pouted, "So you blackmailed my mother!"

This...

He couldn’t exactly deny it, because he did sort of "extort" her by leveraging a large amount of shares from Liu Mei.

But he had his reasons. Back then, his business was just taking off, and he was desperate for money. Even little amounts — every penny counts! So he asked for a large amount of shares.

If the same situation occurred now, he wouldn’t even bother looking at a small company’s shares...

"Ha ha, you wouldn’t understand. If it weren’t for me, your mom’s... um, Aunt Liu’s company would only make a small amount of money. But with me involved, she can make a lot of money!" Wang Ye laughed.

Upon hearing about the potential for big money, Nalan Yaqi immediately perked up.

She grabbed onto Wang Ye’s arm and inquired, "Why could it make a lot of money? From what mom said, it’s just a small travel agency, focusing only on parents of students who are studying in Russia, there can’t be that many people!"

Wang Ye shook his head, "Things have changed, domestic travel agencies are expanding! I haven’t had the chance to discuss this with Aunt Liu yet. When’s she coming over?"

"She just got her visa, said she was booking her ticket yesterday. If all’s fine, she’ll be here in a few days," Nalan Yaqi answered.

Wang Ye nodded, "Alright, then let me know when Aunt Liu arrives. I’ll host a banquet for her, treat her to dinner, and discuss the travel agency."

.........

After the talk of the travel agency business, Nalan Yaqi showed no sign of leaving.

She looked around the office, and asked curiously, "I remember that you had bought a shop space at the New Sun Market, how did you suddenly become the boss here?"

Wang Ye corrected, "I’m the president of the New Sun Group, not the boss; I’m just a high-ranking employee!"

"It’s almost the same thing, being a president sounds very imposing!" Nalan Yaqi dismissed nonchalantly.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye decided not to tell her the whole story.

As of now, few people know both the Chinese student identity of Wang Ye and the Russian identity "Mikhail".

Khodorkovsky, Ivan, Big Head Kong, Angelina, and cousin Ruan Xiaozhu.

Well, maybe Gavriil knew too, but Wang Ye couldn’t be sure...

These few individuals knew about Wang Ye’s dual identities.

The other people either only knew Wang Ye’s Chinese identity, or only about his Russian identity.

It wasn’t that he intentionally wanted to hide it, it was unnecessary.

So he vaguely explained, "Well, the story is complicated, but to put it simply, I bowled over the New Sun Group Board of Directors with my outstanding talents and dashing looks. They begged me to come onboard as president."

Nalan Yaqi couldn’t help but laugh at his explanation...

After somehow circumventing the issue, Nalan Yaqi didn’t probe further.

Then, she casually asked him, "Given your job, you must be earning a high salary! Do you make ten thousand US dollars a month? Oh, and I saw Angelina driving a Porsche 911 sports car this morning. She said you bought it for her."

Wang Ye laughed, "Do you really look down on me that much? Ten thousand US dollars? My annual salary, plus bonuses, easily exceeds one million US dollars! Yes, I did buy her that car. What’s wrong with buying a car for my own girlfriend when I can afford it?"

Nalan Yaqi smirked, feigning jealousy, "One million US dollars? Oh my god! No wonder you bought her that expensive car. I quite like it too. What about..."

Wang Ye hastily waved his hands, "No way! I treat you like a brother and now you want to sleep with me?"
