"Even if there are only two, a choice must be made. In your opinion, which of the two is more trustworthy?" Wang Ye asked with a smile, continuing the conversation.
Gu Qima didn't hesitate and promptly gave his answer.
"That would certainly be Yanukovych!
His governing philosophy is in line with mine, and there could be no better successor to my position. The transition would also be smooth.
As for Yushchenko, well, he was just named one of the 'Time Magazine's' 100 most influential people in the world this year.
Heh, it's all part of building his momentum..."
With everything said to this extent, Wang Ye of course understood Gu Qima's intentions.
He tentatively asked, "So... will you offer Yanukovych any help?"
Although nearing retirement, Gu Qima still wielded considerable influence, especially during his first term, when his support rate was quite high!
