Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 984 - 892: This is a Win-Win Situation

Chapter 984: Chapter 892: This is a Win-Win Situation

At dinner, they gathered again in the familiar small restaurant.

The father-in-law, Gavriil, Wang Ye, and Medvedev, sitting around the dining table, enjoyed their meal and conversation, immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

No one mentioned the failure of today’s Duma voting decision, because all the necessary discussions had already taken place privately.

Gavriil simply remarked that the Kremlin would soon make a second nomination and asked Wang Ye to urge the Duma to proceed with a voting meeting.

Wang Ye nodded in agreement, and that was that.

Among those present, Medvedev held the lowest position and had the least seniority, so he assumed the role of "waiter," staying busy serving tea and water to the other three.

By tacit understanding, Wang Ye and Medvedev did not appear overly familiar with each other here.

The two only chatted occasionally, just like before.

The father-in-law was particularly talkative today, enthusiastically discussing economic issues, public welfare, university graduates’ employment, and low-rent housing with Wang Ye...

In his words, he spoke highly of Wang Ye and the work of the National Economic Commission.

He even joked, "Actually, I think that if it really comes down to it, even the position of Prime Minister could be abolished. With your National Economic Commission here, that’s already enough; comparatively, your work is more efficient!"

Wang Ye quickly gestured with his hands in modesty,

"That definitely wouldn’t do. The Economic Committee’s function is actually very singular, and it focuses on the country’s pillar industries and leading major projects.

But the government’s work encompasses everything, developing the economy is just one aspect of the government’s role, not even the most important one.

I’ve always believed that economic work is indeed important, as it is the foundation of everything.

However, while developing the economy, many other significant tasks must also be advanced simultaneously.

For example, public welfare, education, and healthcare.

These are all very important too and are key factors in whether the people are happy..."

As Wang Ye spoke with the father-in-law, Medvedev sat intently listening, nodding his head frequently.

He was well aware that in many areas, he still needed to learn and improve.

Even disregarding seniority and considering only his current abilities, he knew he wasn’t truly qualified for the Prime Minister’s position.

It was just a matter of being promoted unexpectedly...

But to secure his position firmly and perform exceptionally, he would have to work harder and learn from those more capable.

As for who this "more capable person" was, obviously, there were two right at the dinner table!

Mikhail, in particular, had been the most dazzling figure in the political arena these last two years, and what’s rare is that despite his rapid rise, he had maintained a good reputation both among the public and in the political arena!

He didn’t make enemies everywhere, and most of the political figures mentioned Mikhail with nothing but praise.

This aspect deeply impressed Medvedev!

The father-in-law was quite satisfied with Wang Ye’s remarks.

Obviously, Wang Ye was very measured in his actions, knowing ’restraint’ even though the National Economic Commission wielded great power.

His understanding of the commission’s role was clear—to only lead the work on economics and some major economic projects, without overreaching into other domains.

Nor would it try to replace the government’s functions...

This was very important!

When talking about Rossiyana, the father-in-law showed great concern for her recent situation.

He specifically asked Wang Ye to provide her guidance so she wouldn’t make detours, "She just formed a faction and probably doesn’t understand a lot of things. Make sure you give her some pointers."

Wang Ye smiled knowingly, "Hmm, I’ve been in deep communication with her almost every few days. Her faction does have some potential, but it’s destined to not make a big impact! Nationalist sentiments, well, they only have a popular base at a certain stage. But once the economy develops and everyone’s living a good life, that foundation will disappear..."

Gavriil expressed his agreement, chuckling, "That Du Jin, he’s too radical! But I must say, his theories indeed hold a seductive appeal, particularly for those who are dissatisfied with the current situation."

"Yes, after all, the country has been going through tough times these years, and ordinary people have had a hard life. But this will change. Once Medvedev takes office, if our Economic Committee and the government work closely together, the economy will improve quickly, haha," Wang Ye laughed heartily.

Medvedev promptly nodded, "I will definitely cooperate well with the Kremlin and the Economic Committee, resolutely implementing specific policies and instructions."

And, you know, although there were few of us dining tonight, just four people,

without any exaggeration, this was already the highest echelon of national power!

The Kremlin, the Duma, the government...

Their relations were all decent, with no mutual suspicions or resistance. If everyone could work together with a united focus on developing the economy, the future was genuinely promising!

......

The next day, the Kremlin did indeed send out another document, still nominating the Prime Minister, still Medvedev.

Grezlov convened an emergency speakers’ meeting to discuss the matter.

Since Wang Ye, Grezlov, and Rilinov had already communicated privately, the three speakers unanimously agreed to hold another voting meeting.

As for Krov, although he voiced opposition, it was in vain—minority submits to the majority!

This time’s voting meeting was obviously much smoother than the first.
