Chapter 560: Chapter 560 Oppressive Wealth and Power_1

After listening to Wang Ye’s story, Zhang Xiaoxi remained silent for a while.

She felt as if she had just heard the most bizarre and audacious story...

"Huh, compared to you, the so-called legendary stories I’ve heard aren’t worth mentioning. Trading cans for airplanes, starting from scratch to become the national’s richest person, in front of you, those are just like jokes." Zhang Xiaoxi sighed.

Wang Ye chuckled, he knew who Zhang Xiaoxi was referring to.

Indeed, they were nothing compared to him!

Anything that could be boasted about in newspapers and magazines wasn’t a real legend, it was just for the entertainment of the public.

Many genuine heavyweights had experiences that were rarely known.

In response to Zhang Xiaoxi’s sigh, Wang Ye humbly said,"I’m just starting out and need to keep working hard."

Before coming, Zhang Xiaoxi had some confidence. Although Wang Ye had made some money from his business, she didn’t consider herself inferior. As a top-tier graduate from Tsinghua, her future was filled with promise!

But upon arriving and especially after witnessing and hearing Wang Ye recounting some of his experiences, Zhang Xiaoxi felt a bit inferior...

Two years ago, they were just classmates.

In the eyes of all the teachers and classmates, Wang Ye was far inferior to her!

But two years later, Zhang Xiaoxi was still following the original path, taking one step at a time.

As for Wang Ye...

Zhang Xiaoxi, being a cultured person, thought of a line of poetry that fit Wang Ye best.

She softly recited,"Like a roc that soars with the wind, climbing ninety thousand miles into the sky! Wang Ye, when we graduated, our teacher wished us to soar high. It looks like you’re really living up to that promise now."

Wang Ye laughed out loud, and casually remarked, "Actually, I originally only wanted to be a leisurely small wealthy man. I didn’t have such lofty ideals. But, sometimes you can’t control things..."

To Zhang Xiaoxi, it sounded like Wang Ye was joking!

But she didn’t know that’s exactly what Wang Ye had thought in the beginning...

She joked back in response, "Wealth makes one powerful, and power makes one noble. You’re both wealthy and powerful now. This is truly the pressure of wealth and power!"

"The pressure of wealth and power? I like that. Haha," Wang Ye laughed heartily.

Now that he is in a high position and harbors a number of secrets, Wang Ye presents himself as a mature and stable person in front of his subordinates, friends, and "uncles".

Only in front of those he’s really close with, like Angelina and Ruan Xiaozhu, can he take off the "mask" and let his guard down.

Although Zhang Xiaoxi and he weren’t as close, they were old classmates and Wang Ye planned to develop her as his domestic agent, so he also felt relaxed around her.

However, he hasn’t discussed this matter with Zhang Xiaoxi yet. He plans to observe her a bit more.

He isn’t worried that Zhang Xiaoxi will leak the information he just told her.

His position, bylaws, and so on were all legal and many people knew about them. It couldn’t be considered a secret.

As for Wang Ye’s identity, while that was indeed a secret, it could be said to be a semi-public secret.

Those who should know, do know, but they don’t talk about it.

Those who shouldn’t know, even if they did, it wouldn’t matter since someone wouldn’t allow!

Even if Zhang Xiaoxi wanted to share this, she would need people to listen and believe her!

In Russia, Zhang Xiaoxi has no one to tell and even if she did, it wouldn’t affect Wang Ye in the slightest.

And back home, if she did disclose it wouldn’t matter because who cares about the sex and background of a foreign congressman...

...

In the following days, Wang Ye genuinely put down his work to accompany Zhang Xiaoxi around.

Of course, the itinerary Wang Ye organized wasn’t the typical Moscow-Petersburg-Crimea ten-day tour organized by a travel group.

The newly-delivered private airplane was put to use, flying straight from Moscow to Siberia!

When she saw the brand-new private airplane at the airport, Zhang Xiaoxi was stunned, because if everything Wang Ye told her was true, a private airplane wasn’t a big deal at all!

Private airplanes represent wealth, and when they arrived in Siberia, Zhang Xiaoxi saw another side of Wang Ye—power!

The welcoming convoy was another fleet, although not luxury cars like the Mercedes-Benz G.

But a dozen camouflaged Land Cruisers and a bunch of fully-armed tough bodyguards gave an overwhelming sense of security!

Of course, all these people were members of Wang Ye’s personal security company.

Next, Wang Ye took Zhang Xiaoxi to hunt in the primitive forests of Siberia, to fish and swim in Lake Baikal.

When they were in the mood, they even flew straight to A Bu’s Chukotka region, because at this time, it was still snowing heavily there.

This provided Zhang Xiaoxi with the chance to experience dogsled riding across the snowy ground... in early July.

Well, in reality, these were all things Wang Ye wanted to do, but he usually had no time.

This time, with Zhang Xiaoxi’s visit, he had an excuse to take a break!

...

Throughout their time together, Wang Ye gained a deeper understanding of Zhang Xiaoxi.

This old classmate didn’t disappoint him.

Even though Wang Ye, currently, had ascended high and become someone ordinary people have to look up to.

But in front of Wang Ye, Zhang Xiaoxi wasn’t uneasy and she didn’t deliberately flatter him. She treated Wang Ye just like an old classmate.

Without any sycophancy or flattering, and of course, without any intentional distancing, the two got along harmoniously.

Wang Ye quite liked this feeling.

In the past two years, many people he once considered friends had changed their attitudes towards him after his status had changed drastically, which somewhat disappointed Wang Ye.

People like Song Xiaogang, Yanzi, Nova, and so on.

However, he also knew that it was just normal human behavior, especially when the old friends and classmates who relied on him for their livelihood also became his subordinates.

They had to show him respect, otherwise, wouldn’t there be chaos.

The reason Zhang Xiaoxi could still face him so naturally may be because there were no conflicting interests between them yet.

Whether or not things would change once she becomes Wang Ye’s agent was still uncertain...

...

Ten days later, Wang Ye and Zhang Xiaoxi flew back to Moscow on the private jet.

Once again at the top-floor restaurant of Xiao Ying Hotel, Wang Ye planned to discuss the agent matter with Zhang Xiaoxi.

"Xiao Xi, you’re about to be a junior, and graduation will be here soon. Do you have any plans after graduation?" While eating, Wang Ye casually asked.

Zhang Xiaoxi pondered for a moment, laughed and shook her head, "I’m not afraid of embarrassing myself, but I don’t really have any plans. Sigh, we’re of the same age, old classmates, but the gap between us is so huge. I’m still a clueless student, while you...you...you’re a high-level person!"

With that, Zhang Xiaoxi extended her delicate finger and pointed upward...
