Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 34 - Not That Simple_1

Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Not That Simple_1

Chapter 34 -34 Not That Simple_1

Wang Ye was proficient in Russian, but let’s put that aside for now.

Because despite his language skills, that was not enough to make Song Xiaogang and the others admire him. After all, there were a few ‘old hands’ here who had been in Moscow for years, and their Russian was also exceptional.

Take for example, the owner of the Chinese restaurant downstairs. His Russian was fluent and not at all inferior to Wang Ye’s.

The reason why they admired Wang Ye was because of his high EQ. He handled interpersonal relationships very well.

Perhaps, apart from Zhang Ke and the others, the rest of the pre-university Chinese students studying abroad held a good impression of Wang Ye…

After some hesitation, Song Xiaogang asked, “Brother Ye, do you think I could get a part-time job with my level of Russian?”

Wang Ye looked at him in surprise and asked, “You’ve only been here for a little over half a year, haven’t even graduated from pre-university yet. What are you rushing to work for?”

Although many students studying abroad embark on part-time jobs, they usually consider this option only after post-university graduation, or even during their sophomore or junior years.

If you have not graduated from pre-university, it implies that your Russian is not that great, and it would be difficult to find work.

Song Xiaogang put down his pen and said with a bitter smile:

“I know it’s a bit early to discuss this, but I plan not to return home this summer. The pre-university final exams are expected to take place at the end of May, and as freshman year doesn’t start until September, I have more than three months of summer vacation. I plan to work during this period to earn some money and lighten my family’s financial burden.”

He came here last September, so it’s clear he couldn’t return home for the Spring Festival as there were no holidays in Russia during China’s Spring Festival.

But not returning home even during the summer break is rather uncommon.

Considering Song Xiaogang’s family situation, it makes sense. After all, the cost of the return ticket is not cheap.

After pre-university graduation, he can manage a part-time translating job in the big market, even if he earns around five to six hundred US dollars a month, it adds up to almost two thousand US dollars in three months.

To Song Xiaogang, this is not a trivial amount!

After deliberating for a while, Wang Ye said: “Xiao Gang, don’t rush. Your priority now should be improving your Russian. I’m not returning this summer either. Depending on the circumstances, you might not need to work as a translator at the big market. I could find some work for you, and you would certainly earn no less than you would in the big market!”

The summer vacation is still five months away. Wang Ye is confident that his business should be well established by then.

So, Song Xiaogang could then work for him.

After all, he knew Song Xiaogang well and trusted him.

Upon hearing Wang Ye’s words, Song Xiaogang’s face brightened. Having Wang Ye’s word meant he had a job for the summer vacation!

Moreover, Wang Ye said that working under him would not earn less than working as a translator in the big market!

Part-time translators at the big market generally earn starting salaries of around five hundred US dollars, depending on their level of Russian and work experience!

With Song Xiaogang’s current level of Russian, he could probably expect the starting salary of five hundred US dollars a month.

He was not greedy. If Wang Ye pays him a salary of 500 US dollars, he would be more than happy to work under him.

Let’s not even talk about how tiring it is to work at the big market, starting as early as at four or five in the morning to catch the bus or metro, and having to stand all day…

The main thing is that translation work at the market only helps to earn some money but does not improve any of his other skills.

But working under Wang Ye would certainly be a more enriching experience, though he still wasn’t sure what Wang Ye planned on doing…

Song Xiaogang did not ask Wang Ye what he planned to do, but instead matter-of-factly assured him, “Rest assured, Brother Ye! I will definitely improve my Russian so I won’t hinder your work.”

Wang Ye nodded with satisfaction; he had found his first team member.

Song Xiaogang was good; he was both ‘civil and military’!

He was diligent in his studies, quickly improving his Russian. Also, he was physically big and strong, and could really fight!

Once Wang Ye’s business expands in the future, he would definitely need to cultivate some confidants. Song Xiaogang was certainly worth cultivating.

……..

On Tuesday, Wang Ye dutifully went to class as usual.

Honestly, there wasn’t much for him to learn in class as the teacher only taught basic stuff.

If Angelina were not their Russian teacher, Wang Ye would have already been busy with Xiao Hu setting up their company…

It was not because of some “adolescent restlessness”, nor was it that Wang Ye had never seen a beautiful woman.

It was simply because Angelina was the first girl he was ever interested in after arriving in Moscow in his previous life.

In his previous life when Wang Ye was a pre-university student, both his Russian and finances were far from satisfactory, so he never dared to harbour too many ideas about her.

And after he graduated from pre-university, he never had any contact with Angelina again. But now,

Having been reborn to live once again, he should make his ‘dream’ come true!

Of course, in this life, Wang Ye had more than one ‘dream’ to fulfill…

After school, Wang Ye didn’t rush back, but instead, lit a cigarette at the smoking area outside the main gate.

As groups of students emerged from the pre-university building, some who knew Wang Ye greeted him.

Some even called him to return to the dormitory together. But Wang Ye waved his hand, indicating that he still had something to do.

In about ten minutes, while he was already on his third cigarette, Wang Ye’s eyes brightened as he saw Angelina exit the building.

However, instead of approaching her, he feigned ignorance and continued smoking.

Seeing Wang Ye standing alone smoking by the side of the road, Angelina cheerfully asked: “Wang, how come you haven’t left yet?”

When she referred to “Wang”, she was not referring to “Prince” or “King”, but simply addressing Wang Ye by his last name. Foreigners tend to prefer this, addressing people by their surnames rather than their first names.

There’s a reason behind this.

Foreigners have lots of surnames but not many first names…

Furthermore, they lack imagination when it comes to naming and stick to a certain set of names.

……

Wang Ye looked up, threw the cigarette butt into the large ashtray, and a smile appeared on his face.

“I was just on the phone. Are you heading back to the dormitory, Angelina?”

Although Angelina was a teacher, she was not much older than Wang Ye. She had just graduated.

She had told them not to treat her as a teacher but as a friend.

So, Wang Ye always directly called her by her first name.

Angelina nodded. Her golden hair was a little messy with a gust of wind. She smoothed it with her hand and said: “Of course, I’m going back. What else could I possibly do?”

In a natural manner, Wang Ye replied: “Let’s go together then, we’re headed in the same direction.”

Indeed, Wang Ye resided in Dormitory 6, and Angelina in Dormitory 13. Both had to head north.

So, they walked shoulder to shoulder in the direction of their dormitories.

Of course, Wang Ye waited for such a long time for more than just to conveniently walk with Angelina…
