Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Official Verification_1

Inside Gavriil’s office, the two of them chit-chatted about unimportant things.

As the time approached seven o’clock, Gavriil stood up and said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to him."

They left the office, crossed the corridor, and arrived at the door of the Emperor’s office.

This office was clearly different from others, as evidenced by the two immaculately uniformed guards standing outside the door!

"Is the President inside?" asked Gavriil to the guard at the door.

"Yes, he is waiting for you. He told us to let you and your guest enter directly," replied the guard.

Gavriil nodded and walked directly into the office, with Wang Ye hurriedly following.

There was no one in the spacious office. Wang Ye, looking at the double-headed eagle emblem on the wall and the two tricolor flags of white, blue, and red behind the desk, felt an invisible pressure and immediately felt a bit restrained.

"Let’s go in," Gavriil turned around and smiled, beckoning.

Wang Ye was a little surprised. Weren’t they already in the office? Where else were they supposed to go...

However, he didn’t ask any more questions, but simply followed behind Gavriil toward the other side of the office.

When they reached the wall, Gavriil stopped.

Wang Ye was puzzled, trailing behind, and had no idea what Gavriil was up to.

The wall was fully decorated with real wood, with nothing placed around it, leaving it empty.

Gavriil pressed on the wall, and what happened next took Wang Ye by surprise.

The wooden wall "split" apart, revealing a passage...

"You may not know this, but the President usually lives here. Behind this door, there are a group of rooms, including a bedroom, meeting room, dining room, gym, etc. Of course, the President’s family does not live here," explained Gavriil with a smile.

This was indeed a little-known fact about the Kremlin, and Wang Ye certainly didn’t know it...

After entering the "secret" suite, they were immediately met by staff members, who seemed to be waiting specifically to welcome them.

In this situation, it was obviously not appropriate for Gavriil to take Wang Ye on a "tour". Instead, he took Wang Ye directly to the small dining room.

The dining room was small with simple decor. A man in his forties was already seated, casually reading a newspaper.

"Sir, Mikhail has arrived," Gavriil stepped forward and respectfully said.

Standing behind him, Wang Ye felt a slight thrill.

This was the man of legend!

In his previous life, Wang Ye had seen him countless times on TV and the internet, but he had never met the man in person till this life.

The Emperor put down his newspaper and, with a smile on his face, stood up.

He wasn’t tall, and was somewhat slender, but commanded a formidable invisible presence!

Regardless of whether you knew his identity or not, a single glance was enough to let you know that this man was no ordinary person!

"Mr. President, greetings. I am Mikhail," Wang Ye promptly stepped forward and bent slightly in greeting.

Since his rebirth, Wang Ye had always been calm and composed around most people, never feeling any pressure.

Even when he first met Khodorkovsky, A Bu, Gavriil, Meshkov and others, he had always kept his cool and respectful but without being obsequious.

But today, facing the Emperor, Wang Ye was genuinely respectful!

He couldn’t help it. The man standing in front of him was at the peak of global power and influence, which made Wang Ye feel particularly insignificant...

The Emperor nodded, looked at Wang Ye with a smile, and cordially said, "Hello, Misha. I’ve heard about you from Gavriil. You’re an extraordinary young man, brave and shrewd. Young people like you are the future and hope of Russia."

Wang Ye’s heart fluttered a bit. The Emperor’s words held deeper meanings!

Because his words were an affirmation that he was a true "Russian"!

To be honest, Wang Ye didn’t think his true identity was unknown to the Emperor or Gavriil.

Let’s not forget whose turf they were on and what the Emperor’s own background was...

If they didn’t know who he was at all, that was one thing. But once they turned their attention to him and did a little investigation, his true identity would be undoubtedly exposed.

However, now the Emperor was referring to him as "the future and hope of Russia," which essentially "defined" him.

This could be considered an "official recognition" of his identity...

Anyway, with the Emperor’s recognition, his Russian identity was now firmly established. Who would dare to question the Emperor’s decision?!

......

The three of them sat down around the dinner table, and the servers began bringing food to the table.

The Emperor’s dinner was quite ordinary, with no trace of ostentation.

It was typical Russian food. Borscht was a must, along with a glass of homemade yogurt, mashed potatoes, fried sausage, meat patties, sour cucumber and the like. He didn’t even see any caviar.

Wang Ye didn’t think this was looking down on him, purposely serving him "cheap" food.

On the contrary, Wang Ye felt that the simpler the meal, the better for him!

Because this meant that the Emperor was treating him as a close person, considering him as "one of his own"...

"Misha, I heard you’re Khodorkovsky’s nephew? Where did you used to live, did you come to Moscow recently?" asked the Emperor casually.

Wang Ye promptly replied, "I was born in Krasnoyarsk, in the Far East. My uncle Khodorkovsky didn’t know he had a nephew like me until recently. Since I have no other immediate family, he brought me to Moscow to be by his side."

What he said was exactly the "story" that Khodorkovsky had made up for him.

The Emperor and Gavriil both smiled, but didn’t comment.

"What’s your uncle busy with these days, after successfully acquiring the Siberian Oil Company, he should be content, shouldn’t he?" the Emperor asked.

Wang Ye’s back was slightly damp with sweat, talking to these people was really challenging!

After some careful consideration, Wang Ye earnestly said:

"My uncle is something of a workaholic, he’s indeed quite interested in the oil industry, and he often lives in the company rather than his own apartment.

After this acquisition of the Siberian Oil Company, I guess he’ll be busy for quite some time.

Besides, I’ve talked with him, the scale of the Yukos Group is already large enough, and people should know when to be satisfied. Running the Yukos Group well is already challenging enough, we shouldn’t venture into new areas anymore."

Without creating any storm, Wang Ye had made his position clear.

Namely, he didn’t advise Khodorkovsky to act recklessly, and even less did he want him to get involved in politics.

Doing business right, making money steadily, that would be the best way out!
