On a hot summer day in July, a private plane landed at Moscow International Airport. After coming out of the airport, looking at the crowded crowd outside that seemed to have forgotten the fear of illness not long ago, Yang Dongxu had to lament that although forgetfulness can teach human beings a painful lesson, it is also one of the sources of happiness.
The long and distinguished convoy drove into a heavily guarded manor.
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time." As soon as Yang Dongxu got out of the car, he was hugged by Tuoyi who walked over quickly.
"You're welcome. No matter what, I will definitely come over if Uncle Ivan passes away." Yang Dongxu patted Troy on the shoulder.
That’s right!
Old Ivan, who had been living in isolation for these years, and even many well-informed people were unable to determine whether he was in Russia or recuperating abroad, passed away yesterday.
Old Ivan has no son, so Troy must come back to deal with his uncle's funeral. As one of the biggest profiteers in the original harvest, his return undoubtedly took a huge risk and touched the sensitive nerves of many people.
So after much thought, Toy called Yang Dongxu, so he learned yesterday that his uncle had passed away and started rushing back from the United States. I just arrived this morning. Yang Dongxu also arrived in Moscow in the morning. Tuoyi was very touched by this friendship.
His identity is very sensitive. At this time, even some Russian wealthy people who have close contact with him are subconsciously keeping a distance from him. But Yang Dongxu flew over without saying a word.
"Don't worry, take care of Uncle Ivan's funeral. Although things are different now than before, everyone hopes for peace." Yang Dongxu consoled him.
He did take a certain risk when he came here this time, and even transferred Jie Chengwu and Du Fei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, from the Middle East for personal protection.
But this is just to strengthen the insurance. In fact, the risk is not as big as imagined, and it can even be said that there is no risk. Some risks just scare yourself.
Although he has been withdrawing from the Russian market over the years, he still retains a lot of fixed asset investments. So I have been paying close attention to the situation here.
The Communist Party that came to power certainly made many people who were harvesting money tremble in fear, and some people have even been thrown into prison. But in fact, these people who were punished were all people who felt that they were awesome and went their own way to cause trouble when the Communist Party wanted to govern the country.
For those who kept quiet and even took the initiative to cooperate, although their lives in the past few years were not as reckless as before, they were still nourishing.
Far from being confiscated, the assets in the hands of many people are still increasing. It's just that they were accustomed to the huge profits in the past, and now they are suffering from the greed of these people step by step.
In fact, as long as you can control your greed and don't peek at the *** position. The seemingly iron-fisted police are too lazy to cause trouble for these people.
After all, his ideal is to restore the country's former status as a world superpower, not to create another turmoil at home.
Therefore, even if Toy's identity is very sensitive, as long as he does not seek death, it will be fine for him to return to Russia now. The deceased old Ivan was a real old fox, and he had a certain tacit understanding with the Communist Party for a long time.
"I thought you wouldn't come over." After Ivan, Natasha gave Yang Dongxu a hug and kissed the side of his face very intimately.
Many people came to greet him. After all, there were guests in the manor. Even Ivan stood at the door to greet him, and the guests in the house, either out of politeness or curiosity, could not sit in the living room and act like a gentleman.
But among these people, except for Troy and Natasha. Yang Dongxu basically didn't know him. After all, when Yang Dongxu was doing business here, these uncle-level people in front of him were probably the libertines of the family.
Therefore, there is no intersection between the two parties. If the elders of their families come, maybe some of them will be very familiar with Yang Dongxu. After all, we all worked together to harvest the wool.
"I am a legitimate businessman. Is it a problem for me as a junior to attend the funeral of an elder?" Yang Dongxu's cheek was itchy after being kissed by Natasha.
Kissing as a greeting, while common, was clearly inappropriate between him and Natasha. This kind of feeling to outsiders that they have a good relationship is undoubtedly done intentionally by Natasha. In addition to showing that she had a good relationship with him, she also stuck out her tongue and licked the side of his face when kissing him, which embarrassed him.
But with so many people looking at him, he couldn't show anything. He could only show polite tolerance, let go of the virtual embrace, and took half a step back to distance himself.
There is no excessive introduction and no fuss. After all, this was a funeral. Yang Dongxu went in and paid homage to the old man lying in a field of white flowers.
After the worship, he did not leave, but sat aside and watched the waves of people coming to worship. Finally, he followed the funeral procession and sent old Ivan to the cemetery.
Many people came to see old Ivan off, but everyone was very silent. Yang Dongxu and Tuoyi stood in the front row, and many people looked at him secretly. Guess who this young and overly Chinese guy is and why he is on the same side as some big guys. And Troy seemed to value him very much.
However, a few people had thoughtful looks on their faces. Although they didn't know Yang Dongxu, it was obvious that their elders had told them something.
When the funeral was about to end, a few more people came to the cemetery. The one walking in front was obviously a senior government official, and beside him was a man in military uniform with a rank of major general.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the person coming, and the leading middle-aged man, dressed in black, first said hello to Troy, and then asked the people behind him to deliver the wreath to the tombstone where old Ivan was buried. .
The visitor and the major general standing next to him stood in silence for a few minutes in front of the tombstone. Before leaving, they patted Troy on the shoulder and left without saying much.
It only took a few minutes for these people to arrive and leave, but they made the originally depressing atmosphere disappear immediately.
It's obviously inappropriate for Old Ivan's identity to come, but since he sent someone. Undoubtedly, the other party has already stated that as long as Troy himself does not seek death, the other party will no longer keep an eye on him.
Troy, who had been tense all the time, finally relaxed at this time, and said apologetically to Yang Dongxu: "You go back to the manor to rest first, I still have some things to deal with."
"We don't need to worry about these false gifts. You can go about your business." Yang Dongxu patted Troy on the shoulder.
Although old Ivan had arranged all the things before his death, Troy had been abroad and had not come back. Some things obviously still needed him to take over or confirm in person.
But until someone made a statement, Troy obviously didn't dare to do anything. This is undoubtedly a very smart choice. Now that anyone has taken a stand, the things that need to be dealt with can obviously be dealt with.
"I'll send him back." Natasha standing next to her said.
"Don't you need to go to work?" Yang Dongxu turned his head and looked at Natasha in surprise.
This is undoubtedly a polite rejection. Natasha's inappropriate teasing when she first came to greet her was obviously not because she had a special hobby and was looking for excitement, but to express something. And what he fears most is trouble.
Moreover, the relationship between the two of them did not reach the point where he could help Natasha deal with her troubles. Apart from those superficial ambiguities where nothing happened, there was nothing wrong with his relationship with Natasha boiling down to mere partners. He has always kept an appropriate distance from this extremely ambitious woman.
"Do you think my position requires me to sit in the office all day long and handle work? Besides, I'm on leave today." Natasha blinked and looked at him.
All right!
Refuse to fail.
"Hello, my name is Valery." Standing on the other side of Troy, a bearded man with a standard Russian height stood up and stretched out his hand, "Natasha's brother."
"Valery." Troy frowned.
But Valery didn't look at him, he just looked at Yang Dongxu with a smile.
"Yang Dongxu." Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and shook it.
There is no secret rivalry, no eye contact. The two people just shook hands in a very ordinary way and then separated.
"Let's have dinner together when we have time, Toy. I have something to do at home and I'll leave first." After greeting Yang Dongxu, Valery said goodbye to Toy, who didn't look very good-looking.
Then leave directly with your own people.
"He..." Troy wanted to say something.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Dongxu, "You go and deal with your affairs first. I'll go back to the manor and take a rest."
He naturally understood what Natasha's brother meant, and she had always ignored him before. Now that Natasha wanted to send him back to the manor, she came forward to report herself. Anyone who wasn't mentally ill would understand the meaning.
"Then be careful, I will say hello to the bodyguards at the manor." Troy looked very unhappy.
After all, Valery seemed very polite and polite just now, and even said goodbye to him when he left. But in fact, if Yang Dongxu really helped Natasha, then the courtesy just now can be regarded as an advance warning. Troy's face will not be easy to save by then.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of balance in my heart. Besides, this is a civilized society now, I am a legal businessman and nothing will happen." Yang Dongxu gave Troy a hug and patted his back to comfort him.
Tuoyi glanced at Du Suo, Jie Chengwu and others who were standing not far away and were not talking.
A person who can collect wool with his uncle's giant crocodiles and finally escape unscathed. Tuoyi knew that Yang Dongxu was not as kind as he seemed on the surface.
So after taking a look at Natasha who looked like an innocent person next to him and didn't know what was going on, he began to see off the relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral, and then left to deal with his own affairs.
"We have known each other for so long, you should know that I don't like trouble." In the convoy returning to the manor, Yang Dongxu frowned and lost the friendliness on his face.
"Trouble also represents huge benefits." Natasha, who was sitting aside, had a calm face and did not feel embarrassed because she might cause trouble to Yang Dongxu.
"I have many profitable projects to invest in, why should I take risks on you?" Yang Dongxu looked sideways at Natasha, looking at Natasha from head to toe in a playful manner.
Tempted by beauty, trapped by love... At their level, it is impossible to have such childish ideas. Besides, Yang Dongxu’s favorite must be Zhou Ya, not Natasha.
