Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: This is too Dominant_1

This sudden invitation caught Yelena off guard.

She was stunned for a while before regaining her senses, her face painted with indecision.

On one hand, Wang Ye’s offer was indeed very enticing!

Although her current position as a staff member of the Duma was not bad compared to regular Congressmen’s assistants.

But the thing is, Wang Ye is not just any member of Congress!

He is the youngest Duma Member in Russia’s history!

Moreover, he is the boss of several corporations, a multi-millionaire!

Working for someone like that "Boss" means, even if he no longer holds a political position in the future, there would still be plenty of job opportunities for her.

Also, it’s well known that a wealthy Congressman like him would never shortchange his assistants in terms of compensation.

Some stingy members of Duma would even go so far as to withhold salaries from their assistants, relying on the allure of the "Duma Member Assistant" title to entice students to work for them voluntarily...

"Um... Mr. Mikhail, I was wondering... is your hiring of an assistant temporary? I mean, will the assistants be let go once your term as a member of Duma ends?" Yelena asked cautiously.

Her question clearly indicated that she was concerned about her future prospects.

A Duma member’s term lasts for four years. If she were to become Mikhail’s assistant, she could work with him for four years.

But what about after four years...

She’s not getting any younger and needs to have a long-term plan for the future.

That’s why most Duma members usually hire temporary assistants who are almost finished with their undergraduate studies. These students work as assistants for a year or two, accumulating experience and making contacts, all in preparation for finding a good job in the future.

But it’s different for her. She’s pursuing her doctorate and will be graduating in a year and a half.

Originally, Yelena’s intention behind interning at the Duma was to explore the possibility of working there after graduation.

Of course, she didn’t dare to even dream about becoming a Duma member herself; she was just hoping to get a job in the logistic department.

Wang Ye smiled heartily and responded decisively, "Of course it’s not temporary. If you’re competent, this assistant role won’t be limited to just functions at the Duma. I have several other companies and the work there can be quite demanding. It’s likely that the assistant I hire will have their hands full. However, on the compensation front, you won’t be left wanting. The starting salary is two thousand US dollars, and there will be an annual bonus based on performance. It starts with six times the salary and there is no upper limit."

Wang Ye intends to meticulously groom the assistant that he’s hiring; the requirements are high and they will need to perform at a high standard!

Therefore, he’s certainly not going to be stingy with remuneration. A salary of two thousand US dollars is considered a high wage in Moscow, and together with the year-end bonus, his assistant’s income could very well surpass that of the regular Duma Members...

He has the money, and so he can do as he pleases!

One might wonder why Yelena was directly invited by Wang Ye to be his assistant. Does being a doctoral student necessarily mean she is extraordinarily capable?

Of course not.

However, earning a doctorate at a prestigious institution like Moscow University and securing an internship position at the Duma proves her capabilities in some way!

Besides, after interacting with her for a bit, Wang Ye felt this woman would make an excellent assistant.

She has a good personality, is gentle-spoken and meticulous, and as a literature doctoral student, her writing prowess must be top-notch, which would certainly be an asset when it comes to drafting documents for him.

That’s why he bypassed the interview process and directly extended an invitation to Yelena.

......

Hearing about "a starting salary of two thousand US dollars" and a "year-end bonus with a minimum of six times the salary, with no upper limit", Yelena couldn’t help but swallow.

This was really too overwhelming!

This salary was high, not only for a doctoral student like her but even for her mentor, a professor at Moscow University!

If these words had been spoken by someone else, Yelena might have doubted their sincerity and whether they could deliver on this promise.

But this is what Mikhail said, and according to private discussions among the staff, he was the youngest billionaire in Russia, with assets reportedly amounting to over a billion US dollars!

To him, this amount might be just a drop in the bucket, so naturally, he wouldn’t deceive her over this.

"I agree!" Yelena blurted out.

Perhaps sensing that her words were a tad inappropriate, her pale face turned a shade redder, and she hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that I would like to be your assistant!"

Wang Ye nodded with a smile and instructed, "Alright, from now on, you are my assistant. It is fine to handle the formalities for official employment after you finish your procedures at your end. Your salary will be calculated from today. Now, I have a task for you."

Yelena immediately switched into work mode and from somewhere, produced a small notebook and a pen, holding them in one hand as she prepared to jot down Wang Ye’s job arrangements.

"In addition to you, I need... four more assistants. Ideally, they’ll be doctoral students from top universities, but I’m willing to relax the criteria for truly outstanding candidates, like senior year undergrads. Also, it must be women, and they must have impeccable looks." Wang Ye stated forthrightly.

The reason for specifying pretty girls was not because Wang Ye harbored any ulterior motives.

If he actually wanted to fool around, he wouldn’t be targeting his own staff, when there were plenty of beautiful girls outside. If he wanted them...

It was mainly an image issue, as his assistants would often accompany him to various prominent events. If they were too unattractive, it would be quite unsightly.

Of course, having pretty girls around was also pleasing to the eye.

Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by beautiful women, given the chance?

Yelena had no objections to Wang Ye’s requirements.

With such an enticing package, it would naturally come with stringent demands. Only the best of the best must be chosen!

Additionally, at this time, there were too many capable young people in Moscow struggling to find suitable jobs.

The moment this news got out, Yelena had no doubt that there would immediately be a long line outside, with countless talented women vying for the opportunity.

"Do you have any special requirements in terms of academic field?" She asked for clarification.

Wang Ye patted his head, as he just remembered this point, and said, "Yes, there are indeed requirements in this regard. Mainly, they need to have expertise in law and economics."

His primary responsibility as a congressman was to make laws. Wang Ye was admittedly not well-versed in Russian law, so he absolutely needed assistants who were well-versed in this field to aid him.

As for assistants specializing in economics, they would be essential for his future plan to mainly contribute in the economic sector within Congress!

Improving the economics would increase national income and benefit everyone, so it is the least likely to offend anyone. He certainly didn’t want to get involved in political struggles―it’s too risky...

......

After Yelena left, Wang Ye sat alone at his large office desk, leaning back in his chair.

Looking at the Tricolor flag erected in the background and the golden double-headed eagle emblem on the wall, he began to slowly absorb the feeling...
