Chapter 619 - 579: Beyond One's Control
Anna's arrival was actually very important for Mountain Eagle, as her presence meant that the second most important deal for Russia had been reached.Now it's just a matter of both sides exchanging views on the Crimea issue. As long as the United States doesn't go all out, rallying all its allies to sanction Russia, Russia's core demands will be met.
It's essentially telling the United States that a few hits don't matter, sanctioning some oligarchs and confiscating some assets is also acceptable, and it doesn't even matter if you don't recognize the Crimea referendum, as long as you're willing to shelve the disputes and not publicly disgrace us.
Russia's weakness shown towards old America is systemic. This point might not be publicly acknowledged by those inside the Kremlin, but if you tally up the distribution of overseas assets held by those people, you'll know how their money is voting.
Along the way, Mountain Eagle and Anna chatted to understand the specifics of the Cyprus Trust.
The situation was much better than Mountain Eagle had imagined... Prime Minister.
Anna's mother used to be Old Patrushev's assistant but has now been transferred to the intelligence department.
Anna's tone sounded a bit sardonic, while Mountain Eagle could also feel her helplessness.
The foundation is still too shallow!
An up-and-comer whose backing isn't solid sometimes needs to use marriage as a quick means to solidify their position.
This has nothing to do with gender, it's the same for both men and women!
This kind of thing is not something Mountain Eagle can comment on; he glanced at the busy Mikhail...
Stern expression, rigid behavior, orders strictly followed...
This guy's performance seems very professional, but from another perspective, he's a husband who is off-the-charts controlling and extremely strict with his wife.
Mountain Eagle noticed the annoyance in Anna's eyes and suddenly laughed, "Did you bring an evening dress?"
Anna was taken aback, "What?"
Mountain Eagle shrugged to show off his suit, laughing, "I'm going to a cocktail party tonight, hosted by Li Chengji, the President of the International Intermediary Company!
The security there should be secure, originally I had just one companion, Daria, but I don't mind bringing one more."
As he spoke, Mountain Eagle nodded towards the corner of his eye, laughing, "Your eyeliner is a little smudged, I suggest you make yourself a little prettier because there are lots of beautiful women at the cocktail party..."
Anna instinctively wiped the corner of her eye, then picked up a cushion and threw it at Mountain Eagle...
Seeing the guy laughing heartily, she stood up straight, chest out, chin slightly raised, looking down at Mountain Eagle from the corners of her eyes, "You should learn about my past, ever since high school, from England to the United States, I haven't lost a single social event."
Looking at the proud Anna, Mountain Eagle shook his head, "That's a bit childish, change your expression and posture.
You are now the female president of the Cyprus Trust Company, your company manages assets worth tens of billions of US Dollars.
Bring out the queen aura, nothing can defeat you...
If there is something, then destroy it forcefully!"
Mountain Eagle glanced at his watch, waving his hand, "Quickly go change; the cocktail party starts at 8, you have two hours to prepare.
You need to help me stand out, I want those bastards at the party to know that Mountain Eagle is not a mercenary!"
Anna got energized as she heard this, she locked eyes with Mountain Eagle for a few seconds, confirming he wasn't joking, then excitedly twirled in place before starting to make phone calls...
After she went for a shower, about 40 minutes later, a female stylist arrived at the apartment door carrying a cosmetic case, accompanied by two female assistants dragging suitcases.
While the bodyguards checked them, Mountain Eagle curiously peeked over, only to be directed as a guide by the sharp-faced, affectatious stylist...
Mountain Eagle didn't get upset; as he passed Daria's room, he saw the girl fiddling with her makeup alone, while Tiffany and Lilith, like two minors, curiously played with those complicated jars and bottles...
So he turned back and laughed, "You all look quite professional, how much would hiring you cost?
I have a few ladies here who need some professional help!"
The stylist squinted at Mountain Eagle and then smiled, "Anna already paid!
But I think not only the ladies here need help, you need some too.
Your suit's shoulders are a bit tight, and the tie color is very outdated; if this is your choice, it shows you have no idea how to wear a suit."
With that, the stylist crossed her arms in front of her, tapping her lips with her right index finger as she circled Mountain Eagle, "Your physique is great, but unfortunately I don't have a suit that fits you..."
The stylist's condescending look made Mountain Eagle a bit disgruntled; he walked to Anna's door, knocked twice, and upon hearing a response inside, pushed open the door...
Seeing Anna standing naked in front of the mirror, wiping her hair, Mountain Eagle momentarily marveled at the openness of these foreigners, then like a qualified waiter, he stood at the doorway making an inviting gesture towards the stylist and her assistants...
After closing the door and hearing laughter inside, Mountain Eagle was about to turn around when he saw Tiffany sneakily appear behind him...
"Boss, that's Jessica Past, one of Hollywood's most famous stylists..."
Looking at Tiffany with unevenly applied powder on her face, Mountain Eagle sighed, "You and Lilith don't need a stylist; you need estrogen.
But since someone is picking up the tab, you might as well get yourselves dolled up a bit – or make yourselves look handsome.
I have a feeling that tonight's cocktail party won't be too peaceful..."
