They each took a bottle, cracking it open.
Wang Ye didn't rush to speak, and Rilinov just took a long swig of beer before saying anything.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat stifling.
After downing half a bottle of beer in one gulp, Rilinov slammed the bottle heavily on the coffee table, producing a "bang" sound.
Veins were bulging on the back of his hand where he held the beer bottle, a testament to the force used...
"Misha, I might… need to retire."
Rilinov said in a low voice, his head bowed.
Wang Ye was shocked. Rilinov was retiring?
How could that be!
Ignoring the fact that the man was not that old, he was only in his sixties, which was not considered old in the Duma.
Besides, Duma Members never mentioned anything about retirement, it would only be a possibility if they didn't get reselected during the election season.
Otherwise, they would finish their term before discussing about it.
