Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Board of Directors of the Group_1

"What’s that in your hand?" Xie Liaosha squinted his eyes, suspiciously looking at the middle-aged Chinese businessman and asked.

The muzzle of the Uzi submachine gun in his hand was also intentionally or unintentionally aimed at him.

The middle-aged Chinese businessman awkwardly explained, "This contains... money! The money I owe Mr. Mikhail..."

He was speaking in Chinese, so Xie Liaosha didn’t understand, but Wang Ye did.

He smiled and waved his hand, "Let him come over, it’s okay."

Only then did Xie Liaosha step aside to let the middle-aged Chinese businessman come forward.

However, a few bodyguards were still glaring at him just in case.

The middle-aged Chinese businessman cautiously stepped into the "circle of bodyguards", stopping two steps away from Wang Ye and carefully extended the large envelope.

With a forced smile on his face he explained, "Mr. Mikhail, you may not remember me. My name is Zhang Guangming. I lost money at Xiao Ying Entertainment Center some time ago, and you saved me..."

When he mentioned his name, Wang Ye didn’t remember him until seeing the white bandage wrapped around the little finger of his left hand.

It was that gambler who lost money and wanted to default, and cut off half his little finger himself in order to get the $150,000 he gave him...

But what did this guy mean by saying he owed him money?

So Wang Ye did not reach out for the large envelope, but smiled and asked, "I remember who you are, but I don’t remember when you owed me money. If you are talking about that money, I can tell you that it was given to you, not lent to you."

When he gave Zhang Guangming $150,000, Wang Ye was just because he saw his former self in him, so he gave him a chance to save him.

This money was given, and he never thought about taking it back.

Listening to Wang Ye’s words, Zhang Guangming gratefully glanced at him, but shook his head and said, "Perhaps this money is nothing to Mr. Mikhail, but it really saved me... including the lives of my entire family, allowing me to overcome difficulties. So I have to pay back this money, there’s $50,000 in it which I earned from recent business. I will also pay back the remaining $100,000 as soon as possible."

Wang Ye was a little surprised, he really didn’t expect that there would be such people these days.

$150,000 might be a small amount to him, but for little bosses like Zhang Guangming, it could be a huge amount of money!

Even if he overcame the difficulties, he probably gritted his teeth to pay back $50,000 at a time, which might not be easy.

He just shook his head and smiled, "Okay, just keep your money, just do your business well and don’t gamble in the future. Of course, a small bet for fun is acceptable, haha."

Wang Ye himself is a casino owner, so of course, he couldn’t discourage people from going to play...

Zhang Guangming hurriedly shook his head, insisting, "No, I never want to owe others money, if I don’t pay back this money, I can’t sleep, my mind is full of this all day. Mr. Mikhail, please accept it, just think of it as doing me another favor."

Wang Ye was left speechless. Since Zhang Guangming was so persistent, he didn’t bother to argue anymore.

He nodded, casually took the envelope, didn’t even look at it, and handed it to Xie Liaosha beside him.

He said, "Okay, I’ll accept it. Zhang Guangming, right? Well, I’ll remember your name."

When he finished speaking, Wang Ye waved his hand, turned around, and continued to walk forward with his bodyguards.

Zhang Guangming, standing at the door of his shop, watched them leave in the distance, taking a deep breath.

A small boss who was doing business with him dared to come over and curiously asked, "Old Zhang, how do you know President Mikhail? What did you give him just now?"

Zhang Guangming never had the guts to tell others about his experience at the Xiao Ying Entertainment Center. Even the small finger, he vaguely told people that he had accidentally broken it...

Of course he would not tell anyone about taking money from Wang Ye.

Hearing his companion’s question, Zhang Guangming just found it amusing and casually replied, "Is it strange to know President Mikhail? Don’t you know him?"

He deliberately ignored the last question, which was what he had given to Wang Ye.

Sure enough, his companion was lead off-topic.

Zhang Guangming was right. Many bosses in the market have seen or know of Mikhail. After all, Mikhail is the big boss of the New Sun Group!

He often appears in the market, who hasn’t seen him yet.

But having seen him and being able to speak with him are two different things, right!

However, seeing that Zhang Guangming is vague and seems unwilling to talk more, others naturally don’t continue to drill down.

Even if they share the business, it doesn’t mean their relationship is close.

In a foreign land, everyone is more or less defensive, not only against foreigners, but also against so-called fellow countrymen...

........

Wang Ye did not finish his tour of the entire market, because after visiting ten or so sections, he received a call from Khodorkovsky.

"Misha, have you forgotten that you are also serving as a special assistant to the president of the Yukos Group? You haven’t come to the group headquarters to report back since you returned from vacation," Khodorkovsky laughed and "questioned" him on the phone.

Wang Ye chuckled, defending himself, "Oh, Uncle, you must know that I’m doing a lot of part-time jobs right now. I just came back two days ago and there are still a lot of things at Duma’s that haven’t been dealt with yet. I didn’t even have lunch, I just rushed from Duma to the New Sun Market to check the situation here. I’m still inspecting the market now..."

Obviously, Khodorkovsky was just making a casual remark. He seemed to be unable to help Wang Ye’s "complaint".

He changed the subject and said, "You come to the group headquarters later, there will be a board meeting tonight, you should come and participate."

Wang Ye asked in surprise, "Huh? I’m just a nominal president’s assistant, what does the board meeting have to do with me? Does the group have any tough issues that need me to resolve again?"

No wonder Wang Ye said that. After all, he was named the president’s special assistant to help Khodorkovsky resolve difficult problems!

The Group has held several board meetings in the past, but Khodorkovsky never asked Wang Ye to attend.

This sudden request for him to go there must be some "trick"...

Khodorkovsky laughed and did not directly say why, but mysteriously said, "Just arrive before seven o’clock, come directly to the top floor conference room, this meeting is very important, you must participate on time."

What else can Wang Ye say, he just easily promised, assuring that he would be there...
