Chapter 662: Chapter 662 Incognito Visit_1

Today is the weekend, and Nalan Yaqi originally planned to go shopping with her two friends.

But when Wang Ye said he was not busy, a new idea sprung up in her mind.

She wanted Wang Ye to go shopping with her.

This was completely normal for a girl who always wants to act cute whenever she has the chance with the man to whom she entrusts her entire life.

Upon hearing Nalan Yaqi’s request, Wang Ye furrowed his eyebrows slightly. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to accompany Nalan Yaqi, he simply didn’t like shopping...

Perhaps noticing Wang Ye’s facial expression, Nalan Yaqi quickly added, "If you don’t like to go shopping, let’s go to Weidenghan instead. It’s quite lively there, and everything you could want is there. You could also make a disguised visit. I see big shots on TV enjoy doing that, haha."

Weidenghan?

A thought occurred in Wang Ye’s heart; this place was indeed worth considering.

The Former Soviet Era built this place, and it is popularly known as "All Russian Exhibition Centre".

The entire exhibition center covers an area of 300 hectares, with a perimeter of 35 kilometers. The 15 former Soviet Union republics each have their own pavilions here, showcasing their latest great technological achievements in the fields of economy and technology. The exhibition center consists of up to 45 main buildings.

The main fountain in the exhibition centre, the "Fountain of Friendship of Peoples," consists of gold-plated statues symbolizing the abundant harvest, surrounded by 15 girls of different nations holding ears of wheat. This symbolizes the 15 republics of the former Soviet Union.

However, now Weidenghan is no longer an exhibition center; it has been transformed into a super large "shopping center".

They sell everything there!

There are all kinds of small commodities from the wholesale market, clothing, shoes and hats, luggage, jewelry, etc.

There are also electronic products from all over the world, including mobile phones and digital products.

Of course, there are various local products from Eastern European countries, including edible products, things that can be used in daily life, and handicrafts etc.

There is even a large amusement park, with all kinds of amusement facilities like Ferris wheels.

Every day this place is bustling with people, including tourists from other cities and even foreign countries. Of course, there are also many people who come for shopping.

In his "previous life", Wang Ye often used to buy things there. His computer, mobile phone, digital camera, MP3, and other electronic products were all bought from there.

In this life, he hasn’t been to Weidenghan yet.

After all, given his current status, he barely has any chance to go shopping himself. He just has to say what he wants, and his subordinates can get it for him.

However, Wang Ye noticed a problem: he slowly started to "detach from the masses"...

As the Deputy Speaker of the Duma and a representative of the voters, he rarely interacts with the ordinary Russians. This is also a dangerous sign.

Perhaps Wang Ye doesn’t want to be a good official who pleas for the public, but at the very least, he wants to appear as though he is...

Thus, as Nalan Yaqi said, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a disguised visit.

And he could also check out the electronic markets in Weidenghan. Don’t forget, the Economic Committee is currently discussing a new proposal: about promoting the internet industry nationwide.

On the surface, Internet seems to have nothing to do with electronic products, but don’t forget: if computers are not widely spread, how are we going to develop the Internet?

What Wang Ye would examine is the current state of computer sales, whether the prices are too outrageous, and whether there are many ordinary families buying computers.

These things can be observed most realistically in Weidenghan.

...

Wang Ye nodded, and decisively said: "Alright, this sounds good. I have never been to Weidenghan before, and I have always heard you guys talk about it. Now I can broaden my horizons by going there. I am also considering a proposal related to the Internet, and I need to understand the current computer hardware products. I heard that there are several large venues in Weidenghan specializing in selling electronic products, I can go and have a look."

Nalan Yaqi was overjoyed, and readily agreed: "Yes! I have been there several times, and there is indeed a large electronics market there. They sell computers and related accessories. I will take you there later."

Since he was going to make an incognito visit, Wang Ye needed to prepare a bit.

First of all, he couldn’t wear his usual office clothes. When he goes to Duma, he always wears a well-fitting designer suit with a white shirt underneath. He definitely looks dashing, but it doesn’t keep him warm...

He usually doesn’t need to worry about keeping warm, because there are heaters everywhere.

When Wang Ye goes to work, he takes a fixed route from his residence at the Xiao Ying Hotel directly in a car to the entrance of the Duma Building, and then to his office.

Except for the few seconds when he is getting out of the car, there are heaters everywhere else.

But when he is going to visit Weidenghan today, he must dress warmer.

The weather in Moscow is still chilly at the end of February. The temperature is below ten degrees below zero outside. If he only wears a suit, he’ll likely be taken to the hospital for an infusion after walking around and coming back...

You should know, Weidenghan is not an indoor shopping mall, but a giant park. There is some distance between dozens of buildings.

This means quite a long time of outdoor activity is needed, and cars are not allowed in the park, so walking is necessary.

Nalan Yaqi rummaged around for clothes for Wang Ye. These were bought when he just arrived in Moscow. It was a Puma down jacket, thick sweatpants, and a pair of sports shoes.

She also messed up his carefully combed hair, making it look a bit messy.

After changing into these clothes, Wang Ye looked like an energetic college student, as he was only in his early twenties.

Nalan Yaqi also found dresses in a similar style to Wang Ye’s. When the two walked together, they looked like a common lovey-dovey couple on a university campus...

Looking at herself and then at Wang Ye, Nalan Yaqi nodded in satisfaction. She hugged Wang Ye’s arm and said: "Let’s go, we’ll drive there ourselves and not take your motorcade there. I’m afraid we might be surrounded!"

Indeed, with Wang Ye’s motorcade, a dozen pure black Land Rovers with flashing lights parking at the entrance of Weidenghan, even a fool could tell a big shot had arrived!

We’ll surely be surrounded right...

However, driving herself raises safety issues that can’t be guaranteed.

Although this place is Moscow and could be considered Wang Ye’s territory, caution is still needed. He is quite fond of his life!

Wang Ye thought of a compromise.

That was, he and Nalan Yaqi could casually drive one of Xiao Ying Group’s cars there. Then Xie Liaosha and three bodyguards could drive another unassuming car behind them.

Upon reaching Weidenghan, him and Nalan Yaqi can shop like ordinary people.

Xie Liaosha and the others would then discreetly follow, but maintain a certain distance. That way they wouldn’t draw too much attention, but in case anything happened, they could dash over to protect him at a moment’s notice...
