At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere had already turned a bit sour...
Wang Ye really wanted to advise Khodorkovsky, but couldn't fathom what his endgame was!
Khodorkovsky, to be frank, seemed a bit "naïve"
Khodorkovsky and his group still had complicated relations with Euro-American Capital.
......
In the end, Wang Ye managed to hold his tongue, and didn't intercede.
Because after all, his credibility was quite "awkward".
If Khodorkovsky showed him respect, then he would have face, but without it, he was nothing...
A person should never forget his place.
On this score, Wang Ye had done reasonably well.
So, he just kept his head down, eating his meal and refraining from interjecting.
Mikhail, sitting next to him, was also just eating his food. He was not at a level where he could participate in the conversation between Gavriil and Khodorkovsky.
