Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Crimean Son-in-law_1

Angelina and Natalia naturally followed suit.

Given their status, they technically didn’t qualify to be here.

But both Meshkov and those from the council are aware of the relationship between Angelina and Mikhail!

Even if it’s said that Mikhail invested in the Crimea Peninsula solely for Angelina, no one dares to question it...

After all, there are so many places to invest in these days!

The Crimea Peninsula, no matter how you look at it, can’t compete with places like Moscow, Petersburg, or any other hot spot.

Yet Mikhail chose to invest billions of US dollars in the Crimea Peninsula, which is indeed a bit baffling!

All you can say is that it’s akin to the ancient saying "Playing with rivals with beacon fires, just to win a smile from a beauty", except it’s "Throwing billions of dollars to please a girlfriend"...

Of course, this is because no one knows Wang Ye’s true intentions, nor understands his investment layout.

As for Natalia, she simply came along with Angelina for fun...

......

Standing in the crowd, watching the dapper and charming Wang Ye conversing animatedly with Meshkov, the Speaker and others, Angelina was filled with a myriad of emotions.

Of Wang Ye’s "background", she was the one who knew it best!

She had seen Wang Ye transform from an unknown overseas student to a small business owner, and then to the big boss of the New Sun Market.

Then he steadily grew to where he is now, arguably the most legendary figure in Russia in recent times!

The current Mikhail is not just a successful businessman or billionaire.

Duma Member, Member of the Economic Committee, these are the most dazzling titles he bears!

If a person has money but no power, they might be popular, but not awe-inspiring.

Only when one possesses both wealth and power would they earn genuine respect.

......

After saying pleasantries to Meshkov and others, Wang Ye waved his hand towards Angelina, who was standing behind, signaling her to come forward.

He had seen her in the crowd already.

A smile appeared on Angelina’s face, but she hesitated. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it seemed she wasn’t supposed to step forward.

After all, her status is quite a distance from the current Wang Ye.

In private it doesn’t matter, but this is a formal occasion, and so many journalists are taking photos.

However, Natalia, standing beside her, nudged her, whispering, "Go, Misha is calling you over."

Only then did Angelina step forward towards Wang Ye.

She was somewhat at a loss, unsure of what she was supposed to do with so many people watching her.

Wang Ye didn’t mind the people around at all, he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Angelina in a warm embrace. Their faces pressed closely together, he whispered, "I haven’t seen you for a while, I missed you."

Angelina’s face flushed a bit, as the countless flashes around her made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Though she had been a congressman for a long time and been exposed to the world, this was the first time she had experienced such a grand scene.

Wang Ye, on the other hand, didn’t consider the surrounding people at all.

Because he knew, in this situation, he was the absolute central figure!

He didn’t need to see anyone’s face!

In two years, these people might all be dependent on him for their livelihood...

......

Everyone got in their cars, with Wang Ye and Meshkov getting into the middle Mercedes-Benz.

The cars were led by a police car, with their lights flashing, speeding towards the city center.

It was already noon, time for lunch, but this time it wasn’t at Meshkov’s private mansion, but in an official banquet hall.

All the prestigious figures in Simferopol, including those from Yalta, were gathered here.

Those who didn’t have the privilege to go to the airport to welcome the guests were waiting at the entrance of the banquet hall.

When the fleet stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall, two people immediately come up to help Wang Ye and Meshkov out of the car.

The crowd burst into applause.

Wang Ye responded with a wave and a smile. Although it was his first time in such a situation, he didn’t seem restrained at all.

For a person who has experienced grandeur at the Duma and Kremlin, this was a minor occasion.

Wang Ye and Meshkov slowly walked up the red carpet together, cutting through the crowd on both sides, followed by a bunch of Crimean VIPs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s raise our glasses to welcome our esteemed guest, a member of the Russian Parliament, a member of the Economic Committee, Mr. Mikhail!"

Meshkov raised his wine glass high with a beaming face and said loudly.

All in the banquet hall raised their glasses in unison, their eyes all focused on Wang Ye.

"Thank you all for your warm hospitality. The Crimea Peninsula is a beautiful place. My girlfriend, Angelina, hails from Yalta. Influenced by her, I’ve also grown to love this place and I hope we can work together in the future to make it even better..."

Wang Ye spoke fervently. A few simple sentences greatly narrowed the distance between him and everyone present.

After all, his girlfriend is a native of the Crimea Peninsula. Actually, Wang Ye is technically considered the "son-in-law" of the Crimea Peninsula!

In the end, he raised his glass high.

"Cheers!"

......

After the banquet ended, ordinary people scattered away, leaving behind a select few individuals from Crimea’s core circle who had the privilege to stay for further discussions with Wang Ye.

The two key people were naturally Meshkov and the Speaker. If these two could reach a consensus, it would essentially determine a majority of Crimea’s affairs.

"Congressman Mikhail, your investment proposal has created quite a wave in Crimea. There has been no opposition from anyone because they all know how valuable an investment like this is. If it can be successfully implemented, there’s no doubt that Crimea will undergo a radical change!..."

Once they were seated, Meshkov was the first to speak up.

Both publicly and privately, Meshkov was the one hoping most for the investment deal to go through smoothly.

After all, Wang Ye had had a personal connection with him for some time, and had even given him a large sum of money for his campaign.

Of course, as a return, he had also helped Wang Ye a little.

This included Angelina’s position as a congressman and Natalia’s position as a prosecutor. These were all arranged by Meshkov.

Now Wang Ye planned to invest a substantial amount of money in Crimea!

The happiest person was naturally Meshkov.

Because it was still during his term!

If Crimea could become richer during his term, then he would undoubtedly be the one who profited the most from it!

His support rate and influence would surge tremendously!

Meshkov had great ambitions...
