Chapter 893: Chapter 847: Eliminate Hidden Dangers_2

His two hundred stalls were all the best spots in the first phase of New Sun!

Moreover, he had the exclusive right to operate the footwear category, which meant all the stall owners were influential big bosses. So, after the market remained hot, the stalls at New Sun were in high demand and difficult to obtain.

Although the stalls weren’t freely bought and sold, if someone wanted to sublease a stall from another person, the "tea money" alone would cost over one hundred thousand US dollars.

Therefore, Wang Ye didn’t think the price of one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars per stall was expensive at all.

Ruan Xiaozhu certainly had no objections. She would do whatever Wang Ye said.

...

After Ruan Xiaozhu took care of her side of things, the rest became more troublesome.

To make "Wang Ye" disappear from Russia, he still needed to ensure two things.

The first was to withdraw from Friendship University.

This was easy to handle. Summer vacation was just around the corner, and all he had to do was not pay the next semester’s tuition and accommodation fees and have someone from outside the school office write an application for withdrawal.

Situations like these were so common that the external school office had stopped being surprised and wouldn’t even ask for reasons. They would just process the request.

The second was more complicated and involved immigration records!

That is to say, "Wang Ye" needed to leave the country through Customs, whether to go to another country or to return to China. As long as the immigration record showed that he had left Russia, his Chapter there would be completely closed.

It would be as if the student "Wang Ye," after more than three years of study in Moscow and earning some money doing business, felt he had enough to spend and thus decided to withdraw from school and leave Moscow!

By doing so, he would complete a closed loop.

At least on the surface and according to regulations, no one would associate Wang Ye with Mikhail anymore.

Because as far as anyone was concerned, Wang Ye had left Moscow, as shown by immigration records, and Mikhail had always stayed in Moscow without leaving...

To solve this issue, he had to resort to some unconventional methods!

Wang Ye thought of two solutions: one was to ask the professionals from Wagner or people from the Safety Bureau to do it.

But this would mean broadening the circle of people in the know. Even if these people would not betray Wang Ye, he could not be completely reassured.

The other method was more convenient and less likely to leave any problem in its wake.

That was to find a trustworthy person from China in Moscow and have them fly back to China with "Wang Ye’s" Passport.

As long as the person’s appearance didn’t differ too significantly from his, there should be no issues.

Just as Chinese people tend to think all foreigners look alike, Russians think all Chinese look similar...

As for handling the situation in China, it would be best if they could blur through customs upon entry. If not, then they would have to pull some strings.

At that time, a simple notification to the Embassy should let them know what to do.

Based on Wang Ye’s previous experiences traveling between China and Moscow, because he held a student visa, customs staff barely looked at him before letting him through.

Back then, they didn’t use advanced technology to verify facial structures against camera feeds; identification was manually done.

After much consideration, Wang Ye decided to leave this task to Ruan Xiaozhu.

Since Ruan Xiaozhu already knew of his true identity and was his own cousin, their interests were tied together, and it was very unlikely that she would betray him.

The better he did, the brighter the future for Ruan Xiaozhu. If he "fell from power," what good could come to Ruan Xiaozhu...

Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Ruan Xiaozhu would do her best to protect Wang Ye’s interests.

...

After arranging everything, Wang Ye stopped worrying about the matter. The new session of the Duma had just completed its turnover, and there were plenty of things waiting for his attention.

The Duma Congress wasn’t very interesting. Any important regulatory proposals would have been discussed and agreed upon in private before the Congress convened, so whether they could pass was determined before the meeting, which was then just a formality.

What was truly interesting was the meetings of the various committees.

The corresponding regulations and proposals were discussed and passed in the committees.

After a committee’s approval, the relevant members would take the lead, communicate amongst the factions, and then the formalities would be completed in the Congress.

The Foreign Affairs Committee has already held its meeting, and the recent tasks are the two matters proposed by Wang Ye.

The plan for deploying strategic weapons in Kaliningrad has been handed over to the Kremlin for implementation, and the visits to neighboring countries are currently being coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is developing the visitation plans.

This time, it will be Wang Ye himself leading the delegation on the visit!

However, before embarking on the visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still has quite a lot of work to do.

For example, they need to formulate a detailed itinerary, liaise with foreign ministries of other nations, decide who to meet and what issues to discuss, as well as the level of treatment Wang Ye and his delegation should receive and so on.

All these must be negotiated in advance.

This is a state leader’s visit, after all, every move made and how the host country treats the delegate will be magnified indefinitely—there is no room for negligence.

There is a saying, isn’t there, that there are no small matters in diplomacy!

Luckily, Wang Ye doesn’t have to worry about these trivial affairs; he has simply delegated his assistant Yelena to follow up, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handling the specific tasks.

The trip is expected to officially start in half a month.

On this trip, Wang Ye plans to visit several neighboring countries, with the focus naturally being on Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan!

...

The Duma has undergone elections, and naturally, the Economic Committee has entered a new term as well.

As per Wang Ye’s requirements, the new Economic Committee includes himself among eleven members.

Of these, The First Faction has three members, The Second Faction four members, The Third Faction two members, The Fourth Faction one member, and the Minor Factions one member.

The reason The Second Faction has four members is that it includes Chairman Wang Ye, who is counted separately.

In a large meeting room of the Duma Building, the Economic Committee’s first official meeting is called into session, chaired by Wang Ye himself.

Wang Ye sits at the head of the long conference table, with the ten other committee members seated along both sides of the table.

Assistant Nova sits to the rear and side of Wang Ye, taking minutes of the meeting.

The meeting begins with Wang Ye welcoming the new members joining the committee, then his tone becomes grave as he says:

"Comrades, in the next six years, our Economic Committee carries a tremendously heavy responsibility!

We must guide and assist government departments in doing their economic work well, and do our utmost to enhance our country’s economic development.

In modern society, the economy is the lifeline of a country!

If the economy is doing well, then nothing is a problem—we are a rich nation with strong citizens.

If the economy fails, then trouble is brewing, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there are internal and external troubles!"

After several years of political experience, Wang Ye, though still very young, has increasingly assumed an aura of high office due to his tenure in a high position.

Confronting a room of committee members whose ages are mostly twice his own, he still has the presence to command the room.

While he speaks, all members are completely silent, listening attentively to his words.

The kind of occasions where members would jump out to sing a different tune or provoke, as at the beginning, are basically impossible now.

The seated members are not fools—they all know that in the Duma, Grezlov is officially the "big boss" in name.

But in terms of real power and influence, the young and "infuriatingly young" Mikhail sitting before them is the true NO.1...

If they were to offend Mikhail, not only would their days in the Economic Committee be over, but even their days in the Duma would not be pleasant.

...

After the initial pleasantries, Wang Ye goes straight to the point, asking solemnly, "I want to ask everyone a question: Despite our GDP growth rate being quite good over the past few years, and the average disposable income also rising, why is there still a general feeling of hardship in society, with every industry not doing so well?"

This question is complex and cannot be easily explained in a few words.

Not to mention, among those present, is there actually anyone who is profoundly knowledgeable in economics?

Wang Ye doubts it!

Being nominated by various factions to enter the Economic Committee only means that they have seniority within their factions, and perhaps have also worked in the economic aspect.

But to say they are thoroughly versed would be a joke...
