Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 229 Congratulations to You_1

Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Congratulations to You_1

Purchasing the Livadia Palace would cost several million dollars, given its historical significance and size.

But now, Wang Ye has offered a political donation of $5 million to Meshkov, securing the Livadia Palace for free, and even getting an extra bet in the process.

It’s like the money used to buy the Livadia Palace was "transferred" to Meshkov.

Everyone gets what they want, and all is well, creating a joyous atmosphere for both the host and the guests.

......

After wrapping up the meeting, it was already noon and time for lunch.

Meshkov hosted Wang Ye and his entourage at the Presidential palace. Although Crimea is not rich, the presidential palace can’t fall short in its hospitality.

Things like black caviar sauce are, of course, part of the menu.

After finishing the meal, Wang Ye checked the time and stood up, ready to leave.

After all, the meeting was over, there was no need to stay around.

Outside the presidential palace, Meshkov once again tightly shook Wang Ye’s hand and passionately said, "Mr. Mikhail, thank you very much for choosing to invest in the Crimea Peninsula. You are always a good friend of our people in Crimea."

Wang Ye smiled faintly, "This is because the Crimea Peninsula, under President Meshkov’s leadership, is filled with hope. I am optimistic about Crimea’s future, so I wish to come here to invest."

After a business courtesy exchange, Meshkov personally escorted Wang Ye to his car, in that same procession as before.

Wang Ye waved goodbye to Meshkov through the car window as the police lights flashed and the motorcade roared off.

......

It wasn’t until they were on the plane that Kaja finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying, "Oh, I thought I was going to suffocate!"

Indeed, she had little opportunity to speak today and had been sitting beside Wang Ye, playing the role of a competent "ornament" with a smiling face.

Wang Ye pulled down his eye mask, adjusted his seat to a comfortable position, and said with a smile, "Get used to it slowly, no one can succeed in one step. When you have attended more events like this in the future, you will get used to it."

There was some truth to what he said, as Wang Ye himself found it hard to adapt at the beginning.

Fortunately, he was mentally strong enough, and he adapted to his "role" quickly.

Within just a few months, he had transformed from a poor student into the role of an oligarch’s... nephew!

Of course, now he is not just relying on Khodorkovsky to get things done, but has begun to establish his own contacts and power.

In months to come, perhaps people will no longer only see him as "Khodorkovsky’s nephew", but just as "Mikhail".

When he returned to Moscow, it was already past seven in the evening.

Wang Ye had earlier called Angelina, asking her to inform Natalia to come over for dinner, as he had something to discuss with them.

Xie Liaosha drove Wang Ye straight from the airport to his apartment.

Upon opening the door, Angelina had already prepared dinner, and was watching TV on the couch with Natalia, waiting for him to come home.

Hearing the door open, the two women turned their heads.

"Hehe, Natalia has come, let’s have dinner and talk while we eat." Wang Ye said, laughing as he took off his suit.

"Misha, why did you ask me to come here? What’s up that required a face-to-face discussion, why couldn’t it be discussed over the phone?" Natalia asked, wrinkling her nose.

Wang Ye teased her with a mysterious smile, "You’ll know soon!"

.....

The three of them sat around the dining table, Wang Ye was hungry, he had no appetite to eat on the plane.

After he finished a small bowl of red beet soup, he put down the cutlery and said to the two women, "Do you guys know where I went today and who I met?"

Angelina shook her head, "I don’t know."

Natalia said, "Humph, how could I possibly know. Just tell us already, stop keeping us in suspense."

"I went to Simferopol and met Meshkov!" Wang Ye stated plainly.

"Ah?!" Angelina and Natalia both froze.

They are of course familiar with Simferopol and Meshkov.

"What on earth were you doing there?"

"How did you get to meet President Meshkov?"

Both of them exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, I was there on business. Didn’t I say before, I want to buy the Livadia Palace and open a major entertainment center. This time I went to see Meshkov to discuss this matter," Wang Ye said while still eating.

"Was the business negotiation smooth?" Angelina asked, showing her concern.

Wang Ye nodded, "Yes, it was quite smooth. Everything should be settled soon."

"So, what does this have to do with me? Are you planning to thank me? But I didn’t help you in this matter." Natalia was somewhat perplexed.

Wang Ye looked at her, examining her from head to toe a few times until Natalia was quite uncomfortable.

She complained, "Misha, why are you leering at me! Angelina, can’t you control him!"

"Haha, congratulations, Prosecutor Natalia!" Wang Ye burst into laughter.

This instantly confounded the two women.

Natalia and Angelina exchanged glances, suspecting Wang Ye had drunk too much...

"Hey, after I finish my training, there’s a chance of further advancement, officially taking up the role of a prosecutor, but there’s still some distance to becoming a prosecutor. You’ve jumped the gun by congratulating me. Five years from now, it would be more suitable to congratulate me," Natalia said confidently.

Wang Ye shook his head, pointed at Natalia with his index finger, and said, "No, congratulations, you are going to serve as the Prosecutor of Simferopol!"

Seeing how serious Wang Ye was, repeating himself twice, Natalia couldn’t laugh it off as a joke any longer.

And considering what Wang Ye had just said about his visit to Simferopol and meeting Meshkov, this could be true...

She asked carefully, "Did you discuss with President Meshkov about me serving as the Prosecutor of Simferopol?"

Wang Ye nodded and said without hesitation, "Yes, Meshkov and I are now strategic partners. As you know, the general election is coming up and Meshkov’s prospects are not good. But I have agreed to support his election, and one of the conditions for my support is for you to serve as Simferopol’s Prosecutor!"

Natalia’s eyes widened in surprise and delight.

She couldn’t help but nervously ask, clutching Wang Ye’s arm, "Really? Did he agree?"

"Of course, being a prosecutor is nothing to him."

After answering Natalia, Wang Ye turned his gaze towards Angelina, "Congratulations are also in order for you, honorable Congresswoman Angelina!"

Angelina was similarly confused, "Congresswoman? What Congresswoman?"

"You will soon be entering Crimea’s Congress as a congresswoman. One prosecutor, one congresswoman, isn’t it time to congratulate you both?" Wang Ye laughed.
