“Here! This is five thousand US dollars, take it.”
Nalan Yaqi stuffed thick piles of US dollar bills into Wang Ye’s hands.
Without counting, Wang Ye just shoved them into his pocket.
He laughed and said, “Okay, then, tomorrow… no, the day after, come find me around one o’clock in the afternoon, we’ll go take care of business.”
Nalan Yaqi smiled, cheerfully agreeing to the plan.
Obviously, when Wang Ye said ‘take care of business’, he was referring to company matters.
As expected, she hadn’t misjudged, Wang Ye was different from other boys, he acted quickly and decisively!
It seems that her investment was secure!
……
Only after Nalan Yaqi left did Song Xiaogang dare to enter the room.
His face full of disbelief, he couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Ye, who exactly is your girlfriend?”
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment and retorted: “What girlfriend? Who are you talking about?”
“Is it Princess Qi or Angelina?” Song Xiaogang persisted.
Wang Ye let out a laugh, dismissing the suggestion with a wave of his hand, “What are you talking about? Neither of them is my girlfriend!”
Song Xiaogang didn’t believe him, he argued, “Let’s not talk about Angelina, just now Princess Qi hugged you and gave you money, you’re saying there’s nothing going on between you?”
So, this was what had caused Song Xiaogang’s confusion.
Wang Ye decided not to bother explaining. Even if there was something going on between Nalan Yaqi, Angelina, and him, so what? After all, they were all single, especially in a place like Russia where dating culture was fairly liberal, nobody would care.
He turned back to his reading on the bed, leaving Song Xiaogang in a state of envy…
……
On Sunday, Wang Ye received an unexpected surprise in the morning.
His cousin Ruan Xiaozhu called him.
“Hello, little brother, where are you right now?” she asked.
Wang Ye replied, “Where else could I be? I’m in the school dormitory, of course. What’s up, Sister Xiaozhu?”
“I have a friend studying at Moscow Normal who heard from me that you sell cheap phone cards. They also have a lot of Chinese students, so she thought she’d buy some cards to sell over there. If you’re in the dorm, I can ask her to come directly to you,” Ruan Xiaozhu explained over the phone.
Wang Ye was indeed interested, this was a good opportunity!
“Okay, tell her to come over. I’m staying in Block Six. When she arrives, she can give me a call, and I’ll come down to meet her,” Wang Ye quickly responded.
“Got it, she should be there in about an hour. I passed her your number too,” Ruan Xiaozhu replied.
After hanging up, Wang Ye couldn’t help but chuckle at his good fortune. Lucky he had taken the initiative to contact his ‘cousin Ruan Xiaozhu’.
Not only had it opened up a market at Moscow University, but now she was even helping him expand into the market at Moscow Normal too.
She saved him a ton of work…
Ruan Xiaozhu was indeed a good person, always helpful to her classmates and friends, especially since Wang Ye was her ‘little brother’!
Just as she said, about an hour later, Wang Ye received a call from a female student from Moscow Normal. She’d arrived.
Wang Ye put on his coat and went downstairs to meet her.
The girl was tall and skinny, with a fluffy hat on her head and short, ear-length hair poking out.
She asked Wang Ye to call her ‘Lena’, clearly a Russian name.
It was not surprising; after staying here for a long duration, they would usually adopt a Russian name as it felt strange for the Russians to call them by their Chinese names.
Wang Ye hadn’t chosen a Russian name for himself yet, but once he interacted more with the Russians, he planned to get one too, purely for convenience.
Lena was also very outgoing, laughing and talking with Wang Ye just after meeting him, without feeling shy at all.
Wang Ye took her back to his dorm, offered her a seat to rest, and asked with a smile, “Lena, how many Chinese students are there in your school?”
Wang Ye was not too familiar with Moscow Normal. Even in his past life, he doesn’t seem to have ever been there.
“Quite a few, but not as many as Moscow University or Friendship University. Probably a hundred or more, but less than two hundred,” Lena replied with a smile.
Wang Ye nodded, “That’s not too bad. By the way, is your dormitory far from here?”
“Not close. Our dormitory is near the Weidenghan subway station. It takes almost an hour to get here,” Lena answered.
Moscow Normal University, also known as ‘Moscow State Pedagogical University’, was another university where many Chinese students were studying. It was said that the proportion of female students there was quite high…
However, a high proportion of female students was good news for Wang Ye because females tend to make more phone calls!
His phone cards were likely to sell well at Moscow Normal…
As expected, as soon as Lena opened her mouth, she asked for three thousand dollars’ worth of cards!
“Since it’s not easy to come here, it’s better to get more. Moreover, not many students from our school work in the big market, so the phone cards should sell quite well,” Lena explained.
Wang Ye understood, produced his fat wallet, and began counting out phone cards for Lena.
The contents of his wallet were now very ‘expensive’.
Aside from the seven-thousand-dollar worth of cards he’d taken, there were also the five thousand dollars given to him by Nalan Yaqi the night before, and some of his own money!

In total, the cash and cards inside added up to over ten thousand dollars!
Lena looked and couldn’t help but feel astonished, seeing a fat stack of ‘Franklins’.
It seemed that Ruan Xiaozhu’s cousin was not a simple character and carried significant funds…
She secretly thought to herself.
Wang Ye, of course, didn’t notice this. He counted out fifteen hundred-dollar cards and thirty fifty-dollar cards and handed them to Lena, saying, “You count them.”
Lena counted them again, nodded, and said, “That’s correct. I owe you… two thousand four hundred dollars, right?”
As per the usual practice, distributors purchase goods at a 20% discount.
Having received two thousand four hundred dollars from Lena, Wang Ye’s wallet was noticeably fatter…
……
After sending Lena off, Wang Ye and Song Xiaogang went to the supermarket.
They had to prepare for Angelina’s dinner that night…
Having money in your pocket really made a difference, they could buy anything they wanted!
When he first arrived, every time he visited the supermarket, he needed to check the price before deciding what to buy.
The price tags were in Rubles, and he would have to calculate how much it was in dollars and then convert that into CNY…
Only after doing all these calculations would he decide whether to buy or not.
That’s because prices here are high, especially for fresh food. If you’re not careful, you could easily fall into a ‘pit’.
Once, a fellow student who had just arrived in Moscow purchased a box of kiwis at the supermarket. Whether he had misread the price or what, no one knew, but when he went to check out, the box of kiwis cost around a hundred dollars…
There was a long queue behind him, and as a young man, he was too embarrassed to make a fuss, so he gritted his teeth and paid for it.
It was said that every time he ate a kiwi after that, he did so with tears in his eyes…
