Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 29 - Cheap Cousin_1

Chapter 29 -29 Cheap Cousin_1

As Wang Ye anticipated.

The very next day, which was a Sunday, the number of people who came to buy phone cards dropped significantly.

Throughout the day, he only managed to sell four cards valued at fifty US dollars, and one card worth a hundred dollars…

He estimated that the phone card sales were probably going to stay at this level, or even decrease in upcoming days!

It appears he needed to get in touch with Moscow University soon.

Actually, Wang Ye had quite a few “acquaintances” there at Moscow University, and even has some relative connections.

He had a “cousin” who was currently studying at Moscow University, in her junior year. She came to Moscow three years ago.

The reason why Wang Ye didn’t contact his “cousin” after arriving, was because their relative relationship was a bit of a stretch.

This cousin’s name was Ruan Xiaozhu, who was Wang Ye’s mom’s cousin’s cousin’s goddaughter…

Calling her “cousin” was absolutely appropriate, but in reality, they hadn’t met each other before.

In his “past life”, Wang Ye met this cousin for the first time on a plane during a trip back to China. After chatting, they discovered that they were not only from the same hometown, but also had this kinship!

After that, Ruan Xiaozhu jokingly asked Wang Ye to call her “cousin”.

This cousin of his was quite the character and was making a big splash in Moscow University.

In Wang Ye’s “past life”, when he was studying in Moscow, she had helped him out a lot.

However, getting in touch with her was not that easy. Wang Ye couldn’t remember her cell phone number.

But no problem, he could call home and request his mom to ask his cousin’s cousin for the number…

……

On Monday, Wang Ye went to school early.

Normally, given his Russian language skills, he really didn’t need to attend classes. He only needed to show up for the exams.

But he had hardly skipped any classes during this period of time.

After all, there wasn’t much to do in his dormitory. Also, it was just the beginning of the semester; he still needed to familiarize himself with all the teachers.

Furthermore, the beautiful teacher Angelina had classes every day, and Wang Ye wanted to get closer to her.

Yes, his intention was plain and simple; he simply wanted to practice his spoken language…

In class, of all the students, only Wang Ye was able to freely communicate with all the teachers, and his Russian wasn’t much worse than theirs.

This aroused envy and resentment among his classmates, to the point that the handsome Latin American guy asked Wang Ye after class why he was coming to class with such fluent Russian.

Clearly, Wang Ye joking around with Angelina made this handsome guy a little jealous.

Around two in the afternoon, after finishing classes, Wang Ye returned to the dormitory.

On his way, he made a call to his family.

At this point, it was between seven and eight o’clock in the evening in his home country, so there should be someone at home.

Upon receiving Wang Ye’s call, his mother was a little surprised, wondering why he was calling again since he had just called a few days ago.

This was an international long-distance call, and it was expensive!

“What’s wrong, did something happen?” his mother asked anxiously.

“Nothing’s wrong, I just remembered that before I left the country, didn’t my aunt mention that her sister’s goddaughter is also staying in Moscow? Coincidentally, I’ve been thinking about visiting Moscow University lately and catching up with this… should I call her cousin? It’s always good to have kinship ties over here.” Wang Ye answered, laughing.

This surprised his mother a bit. She hadn’t considered this angle. Since when had Wang Ye become so savvy?

Perhaps, a boy really needs to go out and forge his way!

She happily said: “Right! You should definitely get in touch. I’ll call your aunt later, ask her to find out the goddaughter’s phone number. She has been in Moscow for several years now, and her family is quite well-off. She should have a cell phone by now.”

“Okay, you can call me on this number later, it’s my roommate’s phone number.” Wang Ye gave his mother the phone number.

He hadn’t dared to tell his family about buying the cellphone…

After all, his mother herself didn’t use a cellphone. If he bought one right after getting abroad, his family would certainly not understand.

In their minds, Wang Ye was supposed to devote himself to his studies after arriving here!

Even if he had any other ideas, those should come after he’d acclimatized and familiarized himself with the new environment in this country after two or three years.

Ruan Xiaozhu’s family was indeed well off. Her dad was the head of a certain township in Wang Ye’s home county.

Don’t underestimate this minor official’s role, they have real power!

Especially in the 90s, those in the know get it…

…

By the time Wang Ye got back to the dormitory, found something to eat and was just about to have dinner, he received a call from his mother.

He heard his mother hurriedly say: “I got her cell phone number, you better find a piece of paper and a pen to write it down, quickly!”

Wang Ye was puzzled, “Huh? Okay, I’m finding it. What’s the hurry?”

“You silly boy, do you know how much international calls cost? Be quick and don’t waste time.” his mother urged.

Luckily, there were some paper and a pen on the table. Wang Ye wrote down his cousin’s phone number. Before he could chat with his mother a little more, the call was hung up…

Indeed, when his mother called him, she didn’t have any IP cards to use, she used the home landline and dialed directly!

Looking at the cell phone number on the paper, Wang Ye hesitated for a moment and didn’t make the call right away.

He was a preparatory student; he finished school at a little past two, but his cousin might still be having classes.

So, making a call at this moment was not appropriate.

It would be better to wait until about six or seven in the evening to call.

……

After finishing dinner and making two rounds of delivering phone cards.

At around eight o’clock, Wang Ye dialed that cellphone number.

After the phone rang twice, it was instantly picked up, a crisp female voice came from the other side.

“Hello, this is Aly.”

She spoke in Russian. However, Wang Ye could tell, her pronunciation wasn’t very standard, it had a touch of Chinese-style Russian.

This “Aly” was probably Ruan Xiaozhu’s Russian name.

He answered in Chinese: “Is this Ruan Xiaozhu?”

There was a slight pause on the other end, then the voice responded in Chinese: “Yes, it’s me. Who is this?”

Wang Ye explained: “Hello, Ruan Jie, I’m Wang Ye.”

Fearing Ruan Xiaozhu wouldn’t recognize who Wang Ye was, he immediately added: “Your godmother is my aunt’s cousin, I came to Moscow early this month, knowing that you are here, so I got in touch.”

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhu laughed out, “Hehe, I know you. Last summer when I went back to the country, my dad mentioned that you were also coming here, why did you only arrive this year?”

Wang Ye then had to explain a series of misconceptions. The agency deceived me!

Ruan Xiaozhu contemplated for a moment and said: “Are you free now? If you are, you should come over, and we can meet.”

Looking at the time, it was just past eight. Without any hesitation, Wang Ye said: “Sure, should I go straight to your dormitory at Moscow University? By the way Ruan Jie, are you living in the main building or somewhere else?”

“I live in the main building, but right now I’m at Xiao Ying Hotel. Just take a taxi over here, tell the driver the name, and he’ll know where to go. Give me a call when you reach.” Ruan Xiaozhu replied.

Xiao Ying Hotel?

That place was interesting indeed…
