After a hearty hug, A Bu, with a smile on his face, said, "Welcome to Chukotka, Misha. I heard you've been in Crimea these days, even helping your girlfriend run for a seat in parliament?"
Wang Ye smiled and casually replied, "Angelina is originally from Crimea and has always wanted to do something for her hometown. Luckily, I had some connections with Meshkov, so I thought I'd have Angelina join his party and do some work as a congressman."
Why she chose to become a congresswoman rather than anything else, Wang Ye didn't need to explain.
After all, A Bu himself was once a member of the Duma. He obviously knew that for a newcomer to politics, the best entry point was to become a congressman...
This is something that only a select few can do in so-called "democratic" countries.
