Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

It will take some time for a study abroad agency to be truly established.

It is now the end of January, and it is expected that the study abroad service company will officially start operations in mid-to-late February.

This year’s Spring Festival is in early February.

Of course, for Russians, there is no such thing as New Year.

But among Mo Chinese, the New Year still has to be celebrated, and the Chinese students in the preparatory building also plan to spend New Year's Eve together in the Chinese restaurant downstairs.

However, Wang Ye could not participate because he had to go to the embassy on New Year's Eve.

Well, being a waiter...

During the day, Wang Ye called home.

As usual, his parents repeatedly told him to take good care of his health, study hard, get his diploma back home, find a good job, etc...

Wang Ye could only nod his head repeatedly and did not tell his parents what he had done during this period.

After all, it’s hard for parents to understand that they haven’t figured out anything yet.

In their opinion, the purpose of going to all this trouble to send Wang Ye abroad was just for that diploma!

Selling phone cards or doing any business is not doing your job properly!

…………

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yuan, Wang Ye, Nalan Yaqi, and two girls whom Wang Ye didn't know, who I heard were sophomores and juniors, came together.

The five of them set off together in a van sent by the embassy.

"I heard that there are important people appearing tonight. They are here to celebrate the New Year with everyone." Zhou Yuan told everyone in a low voice.

Of course this is an important person...

But Wang Ye didn't feel anything at all. After all, such a big shot had nothing to do with him. The distance between the two parties was too far!

He even hoped to meet some big bosses doing business in Moscow tonight!

"It doesn't matter who comes. I'm more interested in what food will be served tonight." Nalan Yaqi said unceremoniously.

"Haha, you just know how to eat. In a few years, you will become a bucket-waist like a Russian aunt." Wang Ye joked.

"Hmph, it's impossible. I'm born with a physique that won't make me fat." Nalan Yaqi proudly said with her chest raised.

Chatting along the way, we soon reached our destination.

The embassy is not very big, with a milky white main building and several small red buildings next to it.

Security measures are very strict, and everyone's ID is checked when entering.

Wang Ye and the others entered through the side door of the main building and went directly to the work waiting area, a small hall.

The banquet hadn't started yet, and they weren't allowed in the main hall.

Everyone will rest here and wait.

In addition to Wang Ye and the others, there are also some students from other schools, about twenty people.

Wang Ye asked around. He wanted to find out if there were any students other than Mo Da Youda. In that case, he could also talk about the phone card business...

But what disappointed him was that, except for the five people from Friendship University, the rest were all from Moscow State University, and there were no students from other schools.

It's normal, after all, these two schools have the largest number of Chinese students, and the embassy saves trouble.

According to the requirements, all boys wear suits and ties, and girls wear dark skirts.

The dark blue suit Wang Ye wore was something he bought just before he went abroad. Youngor, a big brand!

Because the agency has informed you in advance that you need to prepare one or two sets of formal attire when studying abroad, which you will need to wear on certain occasions.

Wouldn’t it be useful this time...

…………

The embassy is not stingy, and there are a lot of fruit snacks and drinks in the lounge.

Everyone was laughing and chatting while eating, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Around six o'clock, a staff member hurried over, clapped his hands and said loudly:

"Dear students, the banquet is about to begin. Please tidy up your clothes and enter the venue early.

Everyone should be aware of the precautions. Let me remind you that there are many important guests tonight, so everyone must pay attention to etiquette issues.

Before the guests leave, everyone must stick to their posts, don't move around, let alone eat casually..."

After speaking, he greeted everyone and followed him into the main banquet hall.

Wang Ye and the others were in charge of the drinks area, holding a tray with poured red wine, champagne, white wine, etc. in their hands.

If the guests want to drink something, they just wave and they have to rush over.

Then the wine glasses that the guests have finished drinking must be put away in time...

The grand banquet hall of the embassy is quite large, with huge crystal chandeliers and carved and gilded decorative columns, which looks quite impressive.

The banquet was a buffet, and long tables had been set up, covered with snow-white tablecloths.

On the table are stainless steel buffet stoves, filled with fragrant meals...

Wang Ye and the others stood upright against the wall, holding trays in their hands. It looked like that.

Within a few minutes, the door opened and the guests entered.

Accompanied by noises and warm applause, the man walked in with a cheerful face, waving his hands, surrounded by a large group of people.

Zhou Yuan stood next to Wang Ye and said in a low voice: "What a pity. If I wasn't a waiter, maybe I could have taken a photo with him! I guess this is the only person we can come into contact with in this life..."

What he said is correct.

Most people, in reality, probably have no chance of face-to-face contact...

Wang Ye smiled and said, "When the banquet is over, if he hasn't left yet, you can take a group photo."

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! He probably didn't leave so early. You can help me take pictures then. I brought a digital camera."

These days, digital cameras are still relatively high-tech and expensive.

Only students with relatively good family conditions like Zhou Yuan would buy it.

Compared with traditional film cameras, it is indeed much more convenient.

…………

After entering the venue, a large number of guests also entered. The embassy invited not only some Chinese representatives, but also many Russians and people from other countries.

Naturally, no ordinary person can attend such a banquet.

There should be many big Chinese business owners among them, and Wang Ye recognized one of them, that was Boss Kong whom he saw at the big market last time...

After all, he is the richest Chinese man in Moscow and a prominent figure, so he will not be absent.

As for the other people, Wang Ye didn't know him, but he heard from a senior next to him that there were a few people who had very big businesses and had a net worth of hundreds of millions.

In the banquet hall, there were people drinking and laughing, and it was very lively.

The guests were well-dressed, holding plates in their hands, and enjoying the delicious food.

From time to time, a few people would gather together and chat in low voices.

Wang Ye, on the other hand, was also holding a tray, but it was filled with red wine glasses.

When someone waves or shouts "waiter", walk over with a smile on your face and ask if you need anything...

Zhou Yuan and the others worked quite vigorously, but Wang Ye didn't feel so good.

He also understood that with his current status, he could only come here as a "waiter" and was not qualified to receive an invitation letter and attend the banquet as a guest.

But what about the future?

Wang Ye doesn’t want to be like this again!

…………

The Spring Festival of 2001 left a profound memory for Wang Ye.

On the 18th of that year, at the embassy banquet, I stood there like a gangster...
