Chapter 812: Chapter 807: Mansion Garden

Upon hearing Nalan Yaqi’s complaints, Wang Ye couldn’t help but laugh in bemusement.

Indeed, this is China, not Russia.

Over there, with her "power" at her disposal, she could almost do whatever she wanted.

But in China, she had to abide by the local "rules".

Without Wang Ye’s power to back her, anything Nalan Yaqi wanted to do would be extremely difficult.

If Wang Ye were willing to speak up and get his Chinese partners to help, then for Nalan Yaqi to open a gas station would be a piece of cake.

However, he couldn’t be bothered to bring up the matter. For such a trivial thing, it wasn’t worth calling in a favor. Instead, Wang Ye would rather just give Nalan Yaqi some more pocket money from his own wallet!

So, Wang Ye didn’t concern himself with it and just said with a smile,

"Alright, you’re not short of money to spend, why bother with such a troublesome matter.

Branch companies opening gas stations is a business act, and it involves opening a large number of outlets, which is completely different from your idea of a personal gas station.

Forget about it, let’s go to Mansion Garden. Haven’t you been wanting to check it out?"

Nalan Yaqi’s eyes lit up and she immediately put the gas station matter out of her mind, taking Wang Ye’s arm and asking, "Is it already renovated? Can we stay there tonight?"

"Haha, the renovation is almost done, but to move in, it will probably take a few more days. The final cleanup hasn’t been done yet, and I doubt there are things like bedding and blankets. After all, they didn’t know I would be coming back to the country suddenly, they found out only when I called just now," Wang Ye said with a smile.

Nalan Yaqi pursed her lips in slight disappointment, but then quickly smiled again, "That’s fine. Tomorrow we can go and choose our own home supplies and such. If they buy it, I might not even like it!"

She was quite acting like the "lady of the house" at Mansion Garden...

But Wang Ye didn’t discourage her enthusiasm. Since Nalan Yaqi liked it, he let her be.

...

Wang Ye gave Wang Xueqing a heads-up and asked her to arrange for a car to take them to Mansion Garden.

Wang Xueqing immediately said that she wanted to come along, just in case there was an emergency, so she could deal with it on the spot.

Otherwise, if something happened to Wang Ye in China, it would be a "diplomatic incident"!

That would be a dereliction of duty on Wang Xueqing’s part, and she certainly couldn’t afford the consequences!

Since Wang Xueqing was already aware of Wang Ye’s dual identities, Wang Ye was indifferent to her knowing some things. Seeing her insistence, he let her join them.

The car they rode in was an understated, older model Mercedes-Benz, looking a bit aged but well-maintained.

The driver was a young man who appeared very sharp and was silent, not saying a single word beyond nodding a greeting when Wang Ye got in the car.

He completely ignored Nalan Yaqi...

He probably belonged to the same "department" as Wang Xueqing. On the surface, he was a driver, but he was likely skilled and took on the responsibility of Wang Ye’s security.

Although Wang Ye was visiting China under the identity of Director of the Yukos Group, his role as Deputy Speaker of the Duma was naturally not to be overlooked.

The necessary security protocols were still in place.

And that was just the visible security; there were likely other security personnel hidden around, just not in plain sight.

Wang Ye and Nalan Yaqi sat in the back, while Wang Xueqing took the passenger seat.

The car sped along, quickly turning into a rather deserted street.

Not far down the road, they saw a huge property. Just driving alongside one side of the property took several minutes before turning toward the main gate.

"This is Mansion Garden. The property is huge, with four streets on each side. There’s a large lake in front of the main gate. It really is exclusively private..." Wang Xueqing introduced cheerfully to the two in the back.

Nalan Yaqi had probably been here before, as she didn’t react much, just leaning against the car window looking out.

It was Wang Ye’s first visit, and he was genuinely surprised by the massive size of the property.

Even though he knew it was a large estate before buying it, seeing plans and data was not as impactful as seeing it in person.

Now, standing in front of the property, he realized it was larger than he had ever imagined...

It could be said that it was on par with the mansions in the suburbs of Moscow owned by people like Abu!

Not to forget, this is in the heart of the capital city.

Only someone with his status and who had taken decisive action at this time could own something like this. In another ten years or so, it’s questionable if this property would even be available.

Just considering the price, that alone would deter many people!

Most wealthy individuals wouldn’t buy a property like this, even if they could afford it, because it can’t be redeveloped or used for commercial purposes. Even thinking about renovations would require filing reports with the relevant departments in advance—a real hassle.

Besides, such a large property isn’t as convenient to live in as those high-end spacious apartments.

It was more suitable for a person like Wang Ye, who not only had the money but also the high status, to reside here.

After all, every time he returns to China in the future, he will likely need a large entourage, and a smaller residence just wouldn’t be practical.

...

The car stopped in the small square in front of the mansion’s gate, and Wang Ye could see a familiar black Mercedes-Benz parked next to the entrance, likely meaning Zhang Xiaoxi had already arrived.

Upon opening the door and stepping out, indeed, Zhang Xiaoxi must have seen Wang Ye’s figure as she also stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz and waved in their direction.

Seeing a beautiful girl, Nalan Yaqi eyed Zhang Xiaoxi warily.
