Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Lost in it _1

Actually, not only President Zhu was interested in Wang Ye.

The multitude of media reporters on the scene were even more interested!

President Zhu might already know something in advance, but those media reporters are learning about "Mikhail" for the first time!

When Wang Ye just got off the plane, many people had already noticed this "distinctive" man.

There was simply no help for it, Wang Ye stood out so much among the crowd.

Everyone else was blonde or white-haired, but only he had a head full of shiny, black hair!

The youngest among the others were already in their early forties, many of whom were already overweight, but only he looked like a handsome and upright young man in his early twenties!

And more importantly, if Wang Ye’s identity wasn’t declared, he could pass for a bona fide Chinese man!

But why could this young man, who looks Chinese, come down from the airplane along with Kasianov, and walk on the red carpet?

Looking at the identities of the others, they’re all ministers of some sort, which means this man must also be ranked high among the Russian party!

Though the scene reporters can’t be blamed for their lack of professionalism and for not having a full grasp on the visiting delegate list beforehand.

The main reason was when the Chinese side made an announcement to the media, they only mentioned the names of Kasianov and a few ministers.

As for the business delegation, it was just mentioned that the Russian Gas Industry Group, Yukos Group, United Aviation Group and other companies would be there.

However, it did not specify which representatives these enterprises sent here...

But the Chinese journalists were still very professional, they knew what kind of occasion this was.

So even if they were more curious about Wang Ye, they just took some extra photos, not whispering amongst themselves.

.........

The welcome ceremony is over, everyone gets in their cars, ready to go to the State Guesthouse.

Just by looking at the convoy, you could tell that the caliber was quite high.

The State Guesthouse Motorcycle Team led the way, behind them were seven or eight Mercedes-Benz cars, Kasianov and Wang Ye each had one, followed by several Toyota minibusses for the accompanying personnel to ride in.

Accompanying Wang Ye was a member of the foreign affairs team, possibly chosen to be young because they knew that Wang Ye was a young man.

The girl was in her early to mid-twenties, in a short hair suit, and she looked very delicate.

After helping Wang Ye open the car door and inviting him to get in, the girl sat in the front passenger seat.

Once the motorcade set off, she turned her head and asked Wang Ye in Russian with a smile: "Greetings, Mr. Mikhail. I’m Wang Xueqing, and I’ll be your Russian translator and accompanying personnel for the next few days. If you need to go out or do something, you can directly tell me, I will try my best to assist you."

Wang Ye just smiled and replied in Chinese: "You can speak Chinese, my Chinese is quite good. In fact, I’m of Chinese descent, my father is Chinese."

Wang Xueqing didn’t seem surprised. Since they were able to assign her to accompany Wang Ye one-on-one, they must have known something about Wang Ye beforehand.

She responded politely: "Okay, your Chinese is indeed very authentic."

Of course, Wang Ye speaks Chinese very fluently, and even has a bit of a Zhongyuan accent...

Originally, Wang Xueqing was a Russian translator, but obviously, with Wang Ye’s level of Chinese, she was going to be out of a translating job.

Wang Ye thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "There was no live TV broadcast during the welcome ceremony, right? Also, those photos taken by the journalists..."

His question was a bit vague, unclear about what he wanted to express.

But Wang Xueqing gave a knowing smile and responded meaningfully:

"There was no live broadcast, and all the photos taken by the onsite journalists cannot be released directly. They must go through a screening process before being released.

I understand, you put a lot of emphasis on personal privacy and probably don’t want your photo being made public.

So, any photos of you with a clear view of your face, we will delete them."

Wang Ye became silent and did not speak for a while.

He felt something was a bit weird.

Could it be that the domestic relevant departments already know about his background?

That is certainly possible!

If that’s the case, this girl might also know something, otherwise she wouldn’t be acting like this.

Wang Ye raised the issue of the photos because he was a bit concerned that his parents and old classmates in China might see his picture all over the newspapers.

Yet before he could voice it, Wang Xueqing had already taken care of the problem...

.........

After a brief silence, Wang Ye suddenly asked: "You already know everything?"

Another vague statement, but Wang Xueqing immediately understood his meaning.

She nodded subtly and said softly: "We know what we need to know, but nobody will say it out loud. All of us will keep the unspoken agreement. You might not have noticed, but they arranged separate cars for you and the other high-ranking leaders in the welcoming convoy. This is an opportunity to let you know, that we know..."

Her words were convoluted but the meaning was clear.

That is to say, the domestic related departments have already investigated and verified Wang Ye’s true background.

It could even be said that the welcome ceremony today was modified specifically for Wang Ye.

Wang Ye stayed silent again, but he didn’t have anything to worry about, because since he agreed to represent the Yukos Group in this delegation.

He was already prepared for his identity to be "exposed"!

Of course, Wang Ye also understood that the domestic side would definitely find out his real identity, but they would also play dumb cleverly.

Just like Gavriil and those in the Kremlin...

Not only does his double identity benefit him, many people, and even many factions can profit from it.

Especially for the domestic side, they probably hope even more that he can develop smoothly in Russia.

The higher his position and power, the happier they are!

They might not gain any tangible benefits through him, but there are many intangible benefits.

Moreover, there might come a time when he could do a big favor for the domestic side....

....

The motorcade roared through the capital’s streets.

The leading State Guesthouse Motorcycle Team and the police cars were flashing their lights, the streets they passed through were blocked off, and the spacious streets were occupied only by their convoy.

Looking out the window, it seemed to be the peak time for people to get off work.

If they weren’t in such a motorcade, they might have been stuck in traffic.

Although he didn’t care about those "member" and "congressman" statuses.

But after Wang Ye experienced the halo and privileges brought by these titles, he couldn’t help but become a little entranced.

To men, power is the most attractive thing...
