Wang Ye, of course, received the news about such a significant event as soon as it happened.
However, he was different from others—he didn't set his sights on that position because he himself couldn't possibly take the role of Premier, and he had no suitable candidates to recommend.
Khodorkovsky was not interested in the position, and Rossiyana actually wanted it, but she did not have enough experience and had been vetoed by her father-in-law long ago.
So now, Wang Ye could adopt an attitude of indifference and watch the power struggle unfold from a distance.
He was curious to see who would emerge victorious from this competition and secure the position.
Yet, Wang Ye was very interested in the departing Kasianov!
This fellow was definitely a talent.
In his previous life, Kasianov was dismissed by the Kremlin around this time as well. After his departure, he never held any public office again.
