Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Xiao Ying Hotel_1 Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Xiao Ying Hotel_1 The Xiao Ying Hotel is a place that is extremely well-known among a portion of Chinese students studying abroad!

But, it really is not known among the majority of Chinese students studying abroad, and many of them have not even heard of it here.

In name it is a “hotel”, and it indeed is a hotel in substance…

However, it is also a significant entertainment venue!

Here, all sorts of entertainments such as eating, drinking, playing, bowling alleys, clubs, even casinos are available!

The wealth gap among Chinese students studying in Moscow is also quite large.

Those from Moscow University are generally richer, after all, Moscow University was ranked in the top twenty among global universities in 2001, it could be considered a world-class famous university.

As the fame is high, the tuition fees are naturally high as well, so Chinese students studying there mostly come from good family conditions.

Thus, quite a few Chinese students from Moscow University often go to Xiao Ying Hotel to play, but those from Friendship University seldom go.

In his previous life, when Wang Ye went there for the first time, he was brought there by Ruan Xiaozhu.

Of course, he is not unfamiliar with the place.

Therefore, he readily agreed, put on his coat, and got ready to go out.

It’s eight o’clock in the evening in Moscow, and it’s still January, the sky has long been completely dark.

Seeing that Wang Ye was going out, Song Xiaogang said worriedly, “Brother Ye, you need to be careful if you go out at this hour. I hear the metro stations are particularly littered with drunkards and members of the Bald Head party.”

Wang Ye waved his hand indifferently: “That’s all right, I’m going to meet a townsman, I’m going directly by taxi, not by metro.”

From here to the Xiao Ying Hotel isn’t far, it takes less than twenty minutes by taxi, and doesn’t cost a lot, which is way more convenient than taking the bus or metro.

………

Coming out of the dormitory, Wang Ye wrapped himself tightly in his down jacket, covered his face and ears with his wool scarf and quickly came to the roadside.

Standing under a street lamp at the roadside, he stuck out his right hand and gave a thumbs-up whenever he saw a passing car.

Soon, an old Lada stopped. The window was winded down, revealing a round and fat face.

“Where to?”

The fat driver asked.

“Xiao Ying Hotel.” Wang Ye stepped forward to reply.

The fat driver thought briefly and held up two fingers, “Two hundred rubles.”

This was somewhat exploitative, perhaps it was because he saw Wang Ye was a foreigner, so he intentionally marked up the price.

Wang Ye smiled, “It’s less than twenty minutes from here to Xiao Ying Hotel, just over ten kilometers. I’ve been there many times, and it’s always one hundred rubles.”

Upon seeing that he didn’t manage to trick Wang Ye, the fat driver didn’t mind, and chuckled, “Okay! Get on, it’s in my way anyway, one hundred then.”

Here, although there are many “black cars” (illegal taxis), everyone bargains the price verbally.

But one good point is that as long as the price is agreed upon in advance, the driver won’t deny it, so what’s said is what’s paid.

Unlike those “black car” drivers in China, they have no professional ethics at all…

……

By the time the shabby Lada, with drafts coming in from all directions, had reached the entrance of the Xiao Ying Hotel, Wang Ye’s nose was almost frozen…

Shivering, he took out his wallet, paid the fare and turned towards the main entrance of the hotel.

As soon as he entered the lobby, a wave of warmth hit him.

After removing the down jacket and storing it at the nearby service desk, Wang Ye dialed Ruan Xiaozhu’s number.

“Sister Xiaozhu, I’m here. I’m in front of the cloakroom counter in the lobby.”

It was quite noisy on Ruan Xiaozhu’s end, a few girls were chattering.

“Okay, wait for me a moment. I’ll be right over.”

Less than two minutes after hanging up the phone, Wang Ye saw a petite girl walking hurriedly out.

In reality, this should be the first time Wang Ye met Ruan Xiaozhu.

But in his “past life”, Wang Ye was too familiar with Ruan Xiaozhu…

He raised his hand and waved to indicate her.

Ruan Xiaozhu walked straight towards him. After all, there were no other people in front of this counter, and it was pretty obvious that this tall man was her so-called “cheap cousin”…

……

Ruan Xiaozhu is twenty years old this year, two years older than Wang Ye.

Age-wise, Wang Ye should address her as older sister.

But looking at their heights, the contrast is a bit dramatic…

Wang Ye, who is over one meter eighty tall, could be considered tall even among Russians.

While Ruan Xiaozhu is only around one meter sixty.

Fortunately, she has quite a good figure and looks pleasant to the eyes, with clear brows and shining eyes.

Walking up to Wang Ye, Ruan Xiaozhu looked him up and down, then stretched out on her tiptoes, patted Wang Ye’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Good grief! You are so tall, you better not walk side by side with me later, otherwise, my friends might think you’re my brother!”

Of course, she was just joking.

About Wang Ye, this “cheap cousin”, although Ruan Xiaozhu had never met him before, she had heard her parents talking about him.

She and Wang Ye graduated from the same high school, only one after the other.

When Ruan Xiaozhu graduated from Senior Three, Wang Ye had just been accepted into high school and hadn’t yet started school.

“Hello, Sister Xiaozhu.” Wang Ye greeted with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhu frowned and rolled her eyes, “What’s this pig all about? Just call me ‘sister’!”

Although she was petite, she was full of big sister vibes…

Wang Ye could only obediently call out “Sis”.

Only then did Ruan Xiaozhu give a broad smile, take Wang Ye’s hand, and walk further inside, saying as she walked,
“A few classmates and I came to play today. Come, let me introduce you. You just arrived and should still be unfamiliar with the area here, and your Russian might not be so good. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call. Your big sister has got your back!”

Being led by the hand by Ruan Xiaozhu, Wang Ye felt a bit awkward.

His mental age was already nearing forty…
Now being led by a young girl like leading a child, it felt a bit weird.

However, he didn’t say anything.

Xiao Ying Hotel is high-ranking and does good business.

The lobby and the adjacent auxiliary hall were crowded with people. Naturally, there were no poor people coming into such a place.

All of them were gleaming with splendid clothes. There were many handsome men and beautiful women.

Of course, there were also those who looked like fat bosses.

Ruan Xiaozhu and her friends were playing in the bowling alley. She brought Wang Ye to a booth seating area in the resting zone where three girls were sitting and chatting while sipping their cold drinks.

Upon seeing Wang Ye and Ruan Xiaozhu coming over, the three girls all turned their heads to look.

“So, let me introduce everyone. This here’s my little brother, Wang Ye!” Ruan Xiaozhu announced with a smile.

The three girls chorused upon hearing this,
“Wow! What a handsome guy! Xiaozhu, how come you never told us before that you have a handsome little brother like this?”

“Hee hee, little brother, you don’t have a girlfriend yet, do you? How about sister introduce one? She’s as beautiful as me, what do you think?”

“Xiaozhu, you’re too much, keeping such a handsome guy hidden without telling me earlier!”

These girls were overly lively, so much so that Wang Ye was almost at a loss…
