Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Giving her a surprise_1

When it comes to buying a house, Wang Ye had instructed Kaja two months ago to prepare over one million US dollars to purchase a property on the Crimea Peninsula.

Naturally, Kaja had already started working on this.

Of course, the house prices in Simferopol can’t be compared to a global metropolis like Moscow. Even in the best parts of this city, the most upscale apartment might only cost seven to eight hundred US dollars.

The price of a decent house in the center of Moscow in 2001 was around two thousand US dollars.

So, when Wang Ye asked her to prepare one million US dollars, it made Kaja a bit anxious as she wouldn’t be able to spend all that.

Of course, buying a large mansion would indeed require a lot of money, but Wang Ye didn’t like living in large mansions. He prefers large apartments in the city center.

Kaja had specially come over a while ago to shortlist a few city center apartments that met Wang Ye’s requirements, not far from Mr. Meshkov’s official residence.

This time her plan was for Wang Ye to have a look and then decide on which one to buy.

When Mr. Meshkov heard that Wang Ye wanted to buy a house in Simferopol, his smile brightened even more.

He proposed magnanimously: "There are plenty of houses here! You don’t need to buy any, let me gift you two of them."

Meshkov wasn’t just making idle talk, he really planned to give them away!

After all, a house in a good location here costs only tens of thousands of US dollars. Comparatively, the election funds Wang Ye will "sponsor" him with would be far more substantial.

Meshkov was more than willing to give!

Wang Ye waved his hand and declined, saying, "Thank you for the generous offer, Mr. Meshkov, but that’s not quite appropriate. Someone might use this as a talking point in the future. Less trouble, the better."

Seeing Wang Ye say this, Meshkov did not press any further. After all, for both him and Wang Ye, a house is nothing.

Wang Ye didn’t tell Angelina he was coming this time.

He wasn’t trying to hide it from her, but just wanted to surprise her.

...

His discussion with Meshkov went happily. Meshkov completely agreed to the idea of Wagner Security Company establishing a base here.

This cooperation would only be beneficial to him!

Wang Ye is his partner and therefore, it means Wang Ye’s armed forces would be available for him to use when needed!

After all, the Crimea Peninsula currently does not have its own army!

It’s still technically an autonomous region of Ukraine...

Besides, there would be a great many people at a security base. These people would need to spend and entertain themselves daily, bringing considerable growth to the local economy.

After having a meal at Meshkov’s residence and discussing business, Wang Ye excused himself.

However, he did borrow two cars from Meshkov. After all, he was going to stay here for a few days and it would be quite inconvenient without a car.

Like Russia, German cars here are quite popular.

The two cars that Meshkov’s assistant found for Wang Ye were both Audi 100s – an old model. But one can understand, Crimea is really poor. Even the President couldn’t afford to buy a luxury car with the country’s money.

After leaving the official residence, Wang Ye and his team started carrying out their tasks.

Yuri and Liu Jun set off for Yalta, while Petrov went to the Sevastopol Port with one of Meshkov’s secretaries to choose a location to establish the security base.

As for Wang Ye and Kaja, they, along with Xie Liaosha’s bodyguards, went straight to see the apartments.

...

Angelina had an interview at the TV station in the afternoon, arranged by Meshkov.

After all, the election was approaching. Considering she could show her face more and let people get to know her on TV, that was certainly a good thing.

Although she doesn’t need to worry about the election results as there will barely be any surprises, winning a seat in the congress with real votes would be even better.

Meshkov was quite shrewd in this aspect. He didn’t want to give his competitors any advantages.

This was his first collaboration with Wang Ye, and he wanted to make it as smooth as possible. It would lead to a more joyful collaboration in the future.

After the interview, it was past five in the afternoon. It was time to go back.

Currently, she was temporarily living with Natalia in a house provided by Natalia’s workplace.

Natalia was now a Prosecutor, so her position was not low, hence the house was quite decent – a 60-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment, similar to the one Angelina had in Moscow.

In November, the weather in the Crimea Peninsula got chilly. Yet, it wasn’t like the heavy snowfall in Moscow thanks to the Mediterranean climate here that made it seemed like spring all year round.

But of course, it would get cold when it was supposed to. It just wasn’t that cold.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t drop below zero degrees, meaning there was rarely any snow.

Because of this climate, this place became a famous health resort during the former Soviet Era – it was the warmest area in the former Soviet Union.

As she walked out of the TV station office building, a gust of cold wind blew, and Angelina tightened her coat.

Girls love to be beautiful, especially Russian girls. Even in Moscow’s chilling weather that could drop to minus twenty or thirty degrees, they still wore short skirts, just with a thick coat on the outside.

In Crimea, where the temperature was just a few degrees above zero, Angelina was only wearing a thin windbreaker.

She walked to the side of the road, ready to hail a cab.

An old black Audi drove by. A voice came from the driver’s seat, "Hey, beauty, need a ride?"

Surely, these frivolous words should have offended Angelina, but she was taken aback and bent over to look inside the car.

She was surprised to see Wang Ye’s smiling face.

Happily surprised, she quickly asked leaning on the window, "Misha... You... How did you get here?"

"Ha-ha, I arrived this morning and went to discuss some matters with Meshkov. Get in, I’ll take you home." Wang Ye said with a smile.

Angelina opened the passenger door and got in.

She hugged Wang Ye’s arm affectionately and said, "Are we going back to Natalia’s place? Let’s not. Let’s go out to dinner, just the two of us. I don’t want to take that third wheel tonight."

Even though they haven’t been apart for long, separation makes the heart grow fonder. Angelina certainly didn’t want to go back to Natalia’s apartment now; she just wanted to be alone with Wang Ye.

"Of course, we’re not going to Natalia’s place. I’ve had someone buy a house in Simferopol. I’ll take you to see it." Wang Ye calmly said.

"Wow! You really bought it? When did you buy it? I had no idea." Angelina asked with wide eyes.

While starting the car, Wang Ye chuckled and answered, "Just bought it this afternoon. The paperwork isn’t even completed yet. But we’ve got the keys, so we can move in today."
