Seeing that he was "starting off on the wrong foot," Ilyham could only change the subject and start discussing the real business at hand.
Of course, he also recognized that although the young man before him was indeed very young, he was definitely not someone to be taken lightly!
Ilyham had heard of the great name "Mikhail" long before, but he felt that the deeds reported in the media were a bit overblown.
After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties; how capable could he really be?
Even he once doubted whether there were some hidden circumstances behind Mikhail's background, and relying solely on an uncle like Khodorkovsky was definitely not enough to get him to the position he was in today.
Perhaps...
But these were just his private conjectures, with no evidence to support them.
Now, on their first "confrontation," Ilyham had already felt that this young man was indeed not simple!
