The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 655 What's wrong with WPG being a dog? A misunderstanding in a conflict? An unexpected encounter with Emperor Pushkin?

An Wuyang politely said that he would cover the cost himself at Wugengtian, but of course, that was just An Wuyang being polite.

Do we really expect Wugengtian to bear this expense?

Are you kidding me?

An Wuyang was just being polite and taking the opportunity to test compliance. If Kashiev actually went along with An Wuyang's topic, then An Wuyang would adjust the CLC Group's reassurance pill quota.

For An Wuyang, Anna is the primary factor in maintaining the relationship with CLC Group, and secondly, CLC Group is responsible for handling some of the dirty and tiring work.

But CLC Group doesn't necessarily have to handle the dirty and hard work!

Because among the overseas distributors at Wujingtian, there are both partners of Bald Eagle and partners in the European region.

The bald eagle's pharmaceutical giant has done all sorts of bad things!

In things like directly testing new drugs on humans, bald eagle pharmaceutical companies can do it better than CLC Group. They can even selectively screen test subjects based on race, gender, age, weight, and even health status.

As for why it wasn't reported by mainstream media...
Is it possible that this was reported by mainstream media?
For example, in 2019, the number of missing persons in Bald Eagle exceeded 600,000, approaching 610,000.

Among them, those under the age of 18 accounted for 35%, and those under the age of 21 accounted for as much as 44%.

Isn't this what mainstream media reports?
To be precise, this is a report jointly released by the FBI and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) within the Bald Eagle Federal Government, and the data carries very strong authority.

Here's an even less obvious fact: these data only include American citizens. Those who illegally cross the border without American citizenship are not eligible for this statistic.

Therefore, An Wuyang often says that the pharmaceutical giants of the United States have done all sorts of bad things!
After all, does An Wuyang know that these pharmaceutical giants are truly utterly unscrupulous in order to conduct some tests?

Given this situation, CLC Group helping Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group with the dirty and tiring work is not really the only option; the bald eagles could actually do a better job.

However, if given a choice, An Wuyang would not want to get too involved with the pharmaceutical giants of the United States.

As the saying goes: If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you!
If Wugengtian and the bald eagle pharmaceutical giant frequently engage in cross-border activities, will they be led down a path of no moral boundaries?
Therefore, as long as CLC Group is sensible and obedient, An Wuyang would prefer to choose CLC Group rather than favor Bald Eagle.

Faced with An Wuyang's obedience test, Kashiev made his decision without any hesitation.

“Andy, you’re too kind. Leave this to us!” Kashiev explained.

“Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, and land there is very cheap,” Kashiev stated, indicating that land costs are low.

"As for brown bears, Siberian tigers, snow leopards, and lynxes, although they are protected animals under the law, we can actually adopt cubs under the guise of rescue and protection," Kashiev added.

“Every year, abandoned animal cubs are found by humans in the Siberian region. As long as we raise the banner of rescue and protection, we can adopt these abandoned cubs,” Kashiev added.

In fact, Kashiev had already quickly calculated the corresponding costs. According to the scale of domestication given by An Wuyang, the annual operating cost would not exceed five million Xia Guoyuan.

What's a little money?
If we have to wait until dawn to report this, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
Looking at the Christmas gifts given by An Wuyang, if managed properly, the CLC Group could easily make a profit of over $1.5 million.

How could Kashev be so ignorant?
Faced with Kashiev's explanation, An Wuyang smiled and did not mention anything more about having Wugengtian report the accounts.

Because this kind of obedience test, if you say it once, it's a test; if you say it a second time, it's hypocrisy. Some things are better left unsaid.

It's approaching noon.

Inside the main restaurant of the villa estate.

A roast goose was served, the main dish for Christmas in the Northern Bear Kingdom, along with a strange salad.

What's strange is that An Wuyang saw pickled cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, and peas in this salad.

This salad
Even though An Wuyang is quite tolerant of different foods, she still found it a bit strange.

The main issue is that he ate salads mostly with Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman, two dance students, and they wouldn't eat such strange salads!

When they took their seats, An Wuyang and Kashiev sat together. Since the dining table was round rather than long, it avoided the issue of a clear host's seat.

Now, An Wuyang and Kashev are sitting together, with Anna to An Wuyang's left and Irina to Kashev's right. This seating arrangement is more natural.

An Wuyang secretly guessed that the dining table must have been replaced temporarily.
According to the tradition of the Northern Bear Kingdom, long tables are the more common choice.

In fact, An Wuyang was right!
When Anna said she was safe and sound and would be coming to the Christmas dinner, Kashiev immediately ordered that the long table in the main restaurant be replaced.

Because a long table has a clearly defined main seat.

Since there is a clear seat of honor, should An Wuyang sit there, or should Kashev sit there himself?
Although theoretically Kashiev is the host and should sit in the main seat, the CLC Group currently relies entirely on the profits of the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group. If An Wuyang is seated in the secondary seat, what if An Wuyang is unhappy about it?
But if we let An Wuyang sit in the main seat, it would seem too obsequious!
Therefore, taking a cautious approach, Kashiev directly replaced the long table with a more family-style round table, thus downplaying the concept of primary and secondary positions.

After everyone sat down at the table, the family chef brought out some pastries that looked like baked buns. An Wuyang suspected that they were baked buns.
A moment later, after An Wuyang tasted one, he was certain that this thing called "Piroshki" was just a baked bun.
First, it has the shape of a baked bun; second, it has a filling of minced beef, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes; and third, it is baked.

What is this if not a baked bun?
Of course, its official translation is 'Russian pie'.

The lunch lasted from near noon until almost 2 p.m., which is already past 5 p.m. in Xia Kingdom time.

An Wuyang and Anna had no intention of staying overnight at the villa estate, so they naturally went back to the Four Seasons Hotel to rest.

When they returned to the Four Seasons Hotel, Anna suggested going for a walk, since they had eaten a bit too much at lunch.

Anna chose to take a walk in Red Square, opposite the Four Seasons Hotel, a famous tourist attraction in the Northern Bear Kingdom.

The two walked hand in hand in Red Square, with CLC Group security personnel and Yu Pengfei's group following behind and leading the way.

The snow on Red Square had been cleared very well, which was commendable. Anna and Ann took quite a few photos in Red Square, mainly at Anna's suggestion. These photos will become cherished memories for Anna and a memento of those wonderful times.

The two walked from Red Square to the Kremlin, the core office of the Northern Bear Kingdom's court, where Pushkin worked and lived most of the time.

Some travelers have even encountered Pushkin outside the Kremlin.

While An Wuyang and Anna were taking photos, a minor conflict broke out not far away. Two men in suits approached two security personnel from the CLC Group.

Two CLC Group security personnel immediately looked at each other warily, and more security personnel around An Wuyang began to move.

An Wuyang raised an eyebrow. Had someone recognized him?
Are they planning something else?

This is outside the Kremlin, there can't really be a problem here, right?

At the epicenter of the conflict, CLC Group security personnel shouted coldly, "Back off!"

More CLC security personnel surrounded An Wuyang and Anna, while warily looking in the direction of the conflict. One of the CLC security personnel next to An Wuyang even took out his walkie-talkie to call for reinforcements.

The man in the suit who was being sternly addressed by the CLC Group security personnel realized the problem. He raised his hands and said, "Calm down, we are from the security bureau."

The Federal Security Service (FSO) of the Northern Bear Kingdom is a department specifically responsible for protecting Emperor Pushkin. When Emperor Pushkin travels, plainclothes officers from the FSO will set off first to determine the security level of the corresponding route.

Plainclothes FSO agents noticed that CLC Group security personnel might be carrying firearms. They were just about to approach for questioning when their approach alerted the CLC Group security personnel.

When the plainclothes FSO personnel identified themselves, the CLC Group's security personnel breathed a sigh of relief, but did not completely lower their guard.

"We are security personnel from the CLC Group. These are our work cards and gun licenses." The CLC Group security personnel first identified themselves and then presented their gun licenses.

“We are conducting a security operation. Please verify your identity or keep your distance,” the CLC Group security personnel stated their needs.

The plainclothes FSO officers looked in the direction of An Wuyang and Anna and asked, "Are those your security targets?"

CLC Group's security personnel did not respond at all, and instead became even more vigilant.

The plainclothes FSO officer noticed the attitude of the CLC Group's security personnel, but did not ask any further questions. He simply took out his FSO badge and explained, "We are also carrying out a security mission. Given the threat you pose, we hope you will leave here as soon as possible."

The plainclothes FSO personnel added, "We have reported the situation here and hope you will accept our advice."

This kind of rhetoric can be described as a combination of soft and hard tactics!
"Wait a moment, we need to report something." The CLC Group's security personnel did not back down immediately, even after the FSO's plainclothes officers identified themselves.

After all, they hadn't broken any laws; it was just that the FSO found them troublesome and wanted to drive them away.

After CLC Group's security personnel reported the current situation to An Wuyang, An Wuyang realized that he had misunderstood the situation. At first, he thought that his identity had been exposed and that some shady forces were going to take risks!

So it turns out that plainclothes officers from the Northern Bear Federal Guard Bureau thought they were the real threat?

An Wuyang raised an eyebrow inwardly. He wasn't sure what FSO's purpose was in clearing the area, but he didn't want to cause a conflict.

"Let's go somewhere else!" An Wuyang suggested.

After receiving An Wuyang's order, the CLC Group's security personnel immediately relayed it and continued to escort An Wuyang and Anna around their location, preparing to move to a new position.

The plainclothes officers at FSO breathed a sigh of relief when they saw CLC Group's security personnel escorting An Wuyang away.

Honestly, they also don't want to cause trouble!
If a conflict breaks out, it will be difficult for the FSO to handle, since it involves foreigners whose behavior has not violated the law and has only increased the workload of the FSO. To expel them would indeed be a troublesome matter for the FSO.

As An Wuyang prepared to leave under the escort of CLC Group security personnel, Emperor Pushkin also walked out of the Kremlin under the escort of the FSO Guard.

Emperor Pushkin saw An Wuyang and his group from afar, especially the escort formation of the CLC Group's security personnel, which he took notice of.

So Pushkin asked, "What's the situation over there?"

FSO Guard Captain Pyotr Mikhailovich Fedorov responded, "That's the CLC Group escorting their security target, and the corresponding security target should be An Wuyang, the current heir of the Xia Guo Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group."

I have to say, national intelligence agencies are really impressive!

In just a short while, they found out An Wuyang's information.

Of course, this is also because An Wuyang has never hidden his information on the internet.

In fact, by using An Wuyang's portrait photo for human facial feature recognition, it is easy to match his information, and most of his information can also be found by searching the Internet.

Emperor Pushkin raised an eyebrow slightly; he had heard of the Five Watches Pharmaceutical Group!
After all, Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is a newly emerging pharmaceutical group that is extremely profitable and whose products are highly reliable.

Push the Great then asked, "Why did they leave?"

FSO Captain Peter was slightly embarrassed. "CLC Group's main business is security services. They have gun licenses, and their security personnel are armed. We felt they posed a threat, so after friendly negotiations, they left voluntarily."

As a former KGB agent, how could Pushkin not see through the trickery involved?
However, Pushkin did not criticize it, because the ultimate goal of the FSO was to protect his safety, so how could he possibly criticize it?

Pushkin also placed great importance on security!
After a moment's thought, Emperor Pushkin instructed, "You should contact the other party; I'd like to meet that young man!"

FSO captain Peter wasn't surprised that Pushkin would know a young man; he simply carried out orders.

So, the two plainclothes FSO officers immediately chased after An Wuyang in the direction he had left. To avoid any misunderstanding, they both raised their hands, making a non-threatening gesture.
