Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Great Rapport (Thanks to Guild Master【Sugar Brother】)_1

Ever since returning to Moscow after Spring Festival, Wang Ye had been occupied with official affairs.

That is to say, he has been caught up with work related to the Duma and the Economic Committee, so much so that he hadn’t had time to manage the companies he owned.

Thankfully, he had a team of prepared assistants to delegate the work to.

The young girls diligently and efficiently handled matters related to each group company for Wang Ye.

Of course, this was inseparable from the fact that all the group companies Wang Ye controlled had professional managers.

Except for major issues related to company development or human resources and finance, he didn’t need to worry about the daily operations, which greatly reduced Wang Ye’s workload.

As for Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company and Huaxing Communications, which he founded first, Wang Ye had completely left them in Ruan Xiaozhu’s hands.

This cousin of his was quite capable, she didn’t disturb Wang Ye other than when it was time to share dividends...

...

"Wang Ye, it’s early April now, the books from the first quarter are out. Shall I transfer your dividends directly?"

One day in early April, Ruan Xiaozhu called to report.

When Wang Ye got her call, he was discussing business with Rilinov in his Duma Building office.

He didn’t have time for a chat, so he quickly replied, "Sure, just deposit it directly to my bank account. By the way, when did you return from China? I had no idea, you didn’t just get back, did you?"

"You... I returned in mid-February, I even called you then. However, you must have been too busy and you hanged up after a few words," Ruan Xiaozhu said reproachfully.

Wang Ye slapped his forehead and said in embarrassment, "Ah, really? I’ve been too busy recently and I had forgotten. Let me make it up to you, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight at Turandot restaurant as a welcome home party, haha."

"By the way, Yanzi and Song Xiaogang returned to Moscow today. They were probably hesitant to disturb you, so they didn’t call you. Why don’t I invite them too, we can all have dinner together," suggested Ruan Xiaozhu.

Wang Ye readily agreed, "That sounds good, you inform them. We meet at six tonight, and when you get there, just mention my name, the waitstaff will guide you to the private dining room."

Of course, they needed to mention his name "Mikhail".

Since he dines there often, Wang Ye had a reserved private dining room at the Turandot restaurant...

...

Song Xiaogang and Yanzi had not returned to Moscow for almost half a year.

Not only did they not return to Moscow, they didn’t go back to China for the Spring Festival either, because they were too busy in Petersburg!

The European region launched advertising ahead of the Asian region and consequently, the gambling houses opened for business earlier than they did in Crimea.

The "husband and wife" pair, Song Xiaogang and Yanzi, were working round the clock in the casinos, sleeping barely five or six hours a day.

Both of them came from underprivileged families, so they understood how rare this opportunity was for them!

In the beginning, they humbly learned about casino management from the professional managers sent by Miss He. Yanzi also consulted her classmates in the management department and got hold of a heap of books on management.

Their schedules were packed with managing the casinos and studying.

To be honest, they were working harder than they ever did during their college entrance exam preparations!

The reason for their return to Moscow was twofold. Firstly, the casino was on track, and secondly, they had to resolve some academic matters.

Yanzi was about to graduate, but she planned to continue her studies, not in Moscow University, but in Petersburg University.

This arrangement would be more convenient.

As for Song Xiaogang, he planned to transfer to Petersburg University as a freshman.

But it didn’t matter. As long as they could manage the casino well, having the degree would just be a bonus and it would not affect their future earnings...

...

When Ruan Xiaozhu called, Song Xiaogang and Yanzi, of course, couldn’t refuse their boss’s dinner invitation.

The longer they worked for Xiao Ying Group, the more they learned about Wang Ye.

But the more they learned, the less they understood him...

They had heard about Wang Ye’s election as a Duma member, but why Wang Ye changed his name to "Mikhail", and how he was even elected as a Duma member, baffled them.

However, unlike Zhang Ke who racked his brain to uncover the truth and even planned to catch Wang Ye in some trick, Song Xiaogang and Yanzi had absolutely no inclination to probe into the matter!

In fact, they didn’t even discuss it amongst themselves, let alone with outsiders...

However, both of them now had a sense of awe towards Wang Ye, and they dared not view him as just another classmate or friend.

It was because their statuses were just too different!

In the past, when Duma members appeared on TV or in conversations, there would always be a tone of admiration. But they never imagined that someone close to them would become a Duma member!

Moreover, Wang Ye wasn’t an ordinary Duma member, as he was part of the Economic Committee, which was at the core of power in the Duma!

If you were to relate this to Chinese hierarchy, it would roughly be equivalent to the provincial and ministerial level...

They did not know the exact rank in Russia, but evidently, it was equivalent to reaching the "top of the pyramid"!

...

Around five-thirty, almost six o’clock in the evening, Ruan Xiaozhu drove Song Xiaogang and Yanzi to the Turandot restaurant.

They reported the name "Mikhail" at the entrance, and were guided by a waiter to a large private dining room on the second floor.

Wang Ye hadn’t arrived yet. Normally, as the host, he should have arrived early to receive the guests.

But as they were all close, Wang Ye didn’t bother with the formalities, and didn’t arrive early as he still had work to finish.

While they waited for Wang Ye, Ruan Xiaozhu, Song Xiaogang, and Yanzi sat in the private dining room, sipping tea and chatting.

Tacitly, none of them discussed Wang Ye’s Duma membership or anything related. Instead, they chatted about school, the Qingyun and Huaxing companies, and the Xiao Ying Group.

Ruan Xiaozhu was quite interested in the casinos. She had secretly visited the Moscow location several times.

However, she would usually go during the day and play for a few hours before leaving and didn’t dare to tell Wang Ye.

Given that Song Xiaogang and Yanzi ran a casino, Ruan Xiaozhu excitedly asked during Wang Ye’s absence, "I’ve heard that there are tricks to slot machines which, once mastered, allow you to win more than you lose! Is this true? Tell me about it."

She usually played the slot machines when she visited. She didn’t dare to play the overly exciting games like Texas Hold ’em.

Having managed two companies, Ruan Xiaozhu understood how hard it was to make money...
