In May 2030, to celebrate the upcoming fortieth anniversary of independence, the time-worn Kremlin was given a fresh coat of paint.
Wang Ye was still working in that familiar office, and by now, it had been twenty-one years since he first took office at the Kremlin, and he was serving his fourth term!
In his forties, the age when a man is most charismatic, especially when he has been wielding power and calling the shots worldwide for over twenty years.
Therefore, the present Wang Ye was a far cry from who he was twenty years ago.
Previously, media and magazines liked to describe him with words like "handsome and upright," "full of personal charm," and "young and promising," since there were very few young, attractive politicians in high positions like him.
But now, when talking about him, no one paid attention to his appearance or age, only marveled at his "strong aura," "influence," "support rate," and "political skills."
