Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 1323 - 1061: Returning the Favor_2
Just waiting for this exact line!
Wang Ye put down the goblet in his hand and responded with a smile, "I also think heโs quite suitable! Since both of us have thought of the same person, you can talk to the Kremlin about this when the time comes."
Medvedevโs expression froze, and he had not expected Wang Ye to go with the flow and push this matter onto him! ๐ง๐๐๐๐คโฏ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฃโฏ๐ญ.๐คโด๐ฎ
Logically, it was Wang Ye who wanted to promote Korokolli, so naturally, he should be the one discussing terms with the Kremlin.
How had it come around to him wanting to promote Korokolli...
However, before he could think of an excuse to shirk the responsibility, Wang Ye added, "Oh, and you can say that I also approve of this proposal when the time comes."
That settled it!
With that statement, Medvedev felt relieved.
Indeed, it was more appropriate for him to approach the Kremlin, and Korokolli was merely a lateral move while the one he wanted to recommend was up for a promotion.
Certainly, getting his own person promoted was the more difficult task.
Moreover, in this round of human resource adjustments, Wang Ye had the lead, and everything had to pass through him in the end!
Compared to that, he had no real decision-making power, so nominating someone was a more suitable role for him...
Having realized this, Medvedev readily said, "Alright then, Iโll take care of this matter, but I can only make the nomination, I canโt guarantee the Kremlinโs approval."
Wang Ye raised his goblet, smiling, and said, "Having this nomination is enough. Cheers, wishing this HR adjustment smooth sailing!"
Medvedev also raised his glass, clinked it with Wang Ye, and said with a flushed face, "Cheers!"
If everything went as discussed between the two, it was undeniable that Medvedev would benefit the mostโgoing from having no influence in several major agencies to directly controlling the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a significant step forward!
Consequently, he naturally hoped even more that the HR adjustment would be successfully implemented.
After everything was settled, Wang Ye finally called Vladimir into his office.
With Wang Yeโs support, Vladimir had firmly taken control of the Moscow Police Station, and had even recently taken action to eliminate "traitors," proving his loyalty to Wang Ye.
Of course, this meant that he was firmly marked as one of Wang Yeโs "die-hard loyalists," known by everyone to stand with Wang Ye.
However, Vladimir didnโt mind; without Wang Yeโs support, he would probably still be a grass-roots officer in some small subdivision, nowhere near the chance to occupy the coveted position of head of the Moscow Police Station.
Moreover, from every aspect, Wang Yeโs future was promising, and his political career was still growing. Clinging to such a "powerful leg" left nothing to hesitate about.
Thus, even within the bureau, he made no secret of being part of Chairman Mikhailโs faction, always speaking highly of "Chairman Mikhail"...
Having been summoned by Wang Ye this time, Vladimir didnโt know the specifics, but he was very pleased. The chairman hadnโt forgotten about him; having just returned from a foreign trip, he immediately called him over, indicating a significant position in Chairman Mikhailโs heart!
Led by Nova, he entered Wang Yeโs office, swiftly walked up to Wang Yeโs desk, and gave a proper salute.
Wang Ye, of course, wouldnโt put on airs; he stood up smilingly, warmly welcomed Vladimir to sit down on the sofa, and had Nova bring over two steaming, fragrant cups of coffee.
Then he asked, "Has work been going smoothly recently? The social security situation in Moscow has improved quite a bit lately. It seems that your efforts have been very effective. Well done."
Upon receiving such praise from Wang Ye, Vladimirโs face broke into a wide smile, and he quickly responded humbly, "These achievements are trivial and were accomplished under your guidance, Chairman. We need to work harder to ensure that all citizens of Moscow can enjoy a good social security environment and that all merchants and investors can invest and operate with peace of mind."
These words were basically what Wang Ye had said when he previously led the reform of the police system. Clearly, Vladimir had remembered them well and had not forgotten a thing.
Wang Ye nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard? There might be some human resources changes at the Ministry of Internal Affairs soon. What do you think about that?"
Vladimirโs mind racedโof course, he knew about it!
After all, as the Director of the Moscow Police Station, he wasnโt just a grass-roots player; he was well-informed.
However, he originally didnโt have any particular aspirations, as he had not been at the city bureau for very long, and aspiring for a deputy minister position could be overreaching...
If he couldnโt become a deputy minister and only managed a director position within the ministry, heโd rather stay at the Moscow City Bureau.
So, he hadnโt taken it too seriously but was keeping an eye on whether there would be any major changes at the ministry, just in case, as the rumors suggested, Korokolli was transferred and a new boss came inโthen he would also need to find a way to curry favor.
One couldnโt rely solely on Chairman Mikhailโs influence forever. He needed to make his own efforts in establishing necessary contacts and good relationships, otherwise it would be a betrayal of Chairman Mikhailโs trust in him!
But today, suddenly being called over by Chairman Mikhail and asked about his thoughts on these personnel adjustments made Vladimirโs mind buzz.
He wondered: what did the Chairman mean by asking this?
Could it be...
Vladimirโs heart started to beat faster, and he tentatively said, "This is certainly a good opportunity, but if I go to the ministry now, the best arrangement would obviously be to become a deputy minister. If itโs just being a director of some bureau, frankly, Iโd rather stay at the city bureau."
In front of Wang Ye, he felt no need to hide his true thoughts, so he spoke candidly.
After speaking, Vladimir looked at Wang Ye expectantly, wondering if there would be any "surprises" awaiting him.
Wang Ye smiled and said calmly, "Iโve spoken with Korokolli, and Iโll arrange a deputy minister position for you, ideally continuing to manage the various police stations. How does that position sound? Are you interested?"
Had it not been in Wang Yeโs presence, Vladimir would have leapt up.
He was extremely interested!
Having worked in the police system, he understood what this position meantโit was like being the "Executive Deputy Minister" or "First Deputy Minister"!
If he really could be promoted to this position, it would definitely be a meteoric rise!
Suppressing his elation, Vladimir leaned forward, lowering his voice, and said cautiously, "Thatโs indeed great news! However, Chairman, I heard... Korokolli himself is not safe this time, can his promises still be counted on..."
Such words were only dared in the presence of Wang Ye; if it were anyone else, he wouldnโt have spoken so bluntly!
Wang Ye simply smiled and waved his hand, "Baseless rumors! Korokolli is fine, just wait and see. Since youโre interested in this position, go back and start preparing in advance. Donโt lose the foundation at the city bureau, make any necessary arrangements ahead of time."
Vladimir instantly understood, jumped to his feet, stood erect, and saluted Wang Ye cleanly, "Please rest assured, Chairman! I understand what to do; we wonโt lose control of the city bureau!"
Wang Yeโs intent was clearโ he wanted him to reserve the city bureau position for his loyal confidant, so that once entering the ministry, he would still be able to control the situation at the city bureau.
After all, this was the Moscow City Bureau, a significant armed force that, at a critical moment, could play a major role!
