Chapter 1274: Chapter 1037: Personally Welcome

"Everyone, come over here, make sure you have your passports, and have you all filled out your customs declaration form?

Do not wander off or speak loudly; we will go through customs together shortly.

Those in front should not roam around after clearing customs. Wait for everyone so we can leave together; the bus is already waiting outside..."

The tour group leader, waving a small flag, called out loudly.

Such scenes had become quite common at the Moscow Airport in recent years, with most of the tourists having East Asian faces, predominantly Chinese...

It must be said that Wang Ye’s Xiao Ying Group had indeed put a lot of effort into promoting travel to Russia. Although they were not a professional tourism company, their tourism operations had already reached the top rank across Russia!

Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guang had their luggage ready and followed closely with the group while curiously looking around, as it was their first time abroad and everything was new to them.

Following the leader’s guidance, everyone cleared customs smoothly and orderly. For such a large-scale travel group, there was a green channel for customs, which made the process more convenient.

Of course, this was also thanks to the efforts of the Xiao Ying Group. If ordinary tourists came here individually, they would not receive such treatment.

Even in the years when Wang Ye first arrived in Moscow, he occasionally faced difficulties from the airport staff during customs clearance, being harassed over little tips or having his luggage scrutinized.

However, after several reforms initiated by Wang Ye, such practices of exploiting "foreigners" were almost non-existent.

After their entire group had cleared customs, they all followed the leader towards the arrival hall outside.

As they were here for tourism, they didn’t have much luggage, which spared them the time of waiting for checked luggage.

Inside the arrival hall, local handlers from Moscow were already waiting—one Russian and one Chinese—and the two of them, along with the leader, would be in charge of all activities for the travel group during their stay.

The trio exchanged a few words, and whatever the handlers said seemed to surprise the leader, who asked several follow-up questions and seemed satisfied with the answers before turning to address the tour group:

"Um... Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Guang, could you come here for a moment?"

Liu Xiaoxiao initially thought she had misheard and pointed at her nose, indicating if she was being called.

The leader nodded emphatically.

Liu Xiaoxiao then pulled Zhang Guang along as they walked towards the leader. On their way, Liu Xiaoxiao whispered to Zhang Guang, "Hey, what do you think the leader wants from us? I hope there’s no trouble."

Zhang Guang scratched his head, equally baffled, and muttered, "Who knows? Let’s just go and ask."

As they approached the leader and the handlers, before Liu Xiaoxiao could speak, the Chinese handler greeted her with a smile, "Good day, Ms. Liu Xiaoxiao, I am a staff member of the Xiao Ying Group and the person in charge of your group during your stay in Russia. I wanted to inform you that after this, you and Mr. Zhang Guang do not need to take the bus to the hotel with us."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao became anxious.

Here, in a foreign land, neither she nor Zhang Guang spoke Russian, and their English wasn’t great either...

Not following the group would definitely make things difficult!

Both she and Zhang Guang had paid their fees. Why wouldn’t they take them to the hotel? So she immediately glared and demanded an explanation:

"What do you mean?!

Is your company some unscrupulous tourism firm?

Are you trying to squeeze more money out of us?

I’ll tell you now, forget about it!"

Liu Xiaoxiao was quite fiery and wouldn’t tolerate any deceit. She couldn’t hold back her anger when faced with such situations.

Zhang Guang was different, considering that this wasn’t their home country. If they fell out with the travel company and it stopped caring for them completely, they would really be in big trouble...

So, he quickly pulled Liu Xiaoxiao aside and tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Is there perhaps some misunderstanding here? We’ve already paid all fees in China, and there shouldn’t be any additional charges now, right?"

The Chinese handler, almost finding their reaction comical, quickly waved his hands and explained, "Don’t misunderstand! It has nothing to do with fees. Someone will pick you up for dinner and then take you to the hotel where your travel group is staying, so that’s why I said you don’t need to stick with the group."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao grew even more perplexed. Being unfamiliar with the place and it being her first visit, how could there be someone...

Wait!

Wasn’t her cousin Wang Ye here?

Could it be Wang Ye who had arranged this?

She quickly asked, "Ah? Do you know who it is that’s taking us to dinner? Could it be my cousin..."

The Chinese handler interrupted her with a smile, "I’m not sure about that. I heard it’s a friend of one of our high-level executives in our group. As for the specific relationship, you would know better than I do. Why don’t you give them a call?"

Liu Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead. Right, why guess and speculate when she could just call Wang Ye directly?

Luckily, she had activated global roaming on her phone before leaving China. Although the call charges were high, it was useful in critical situations like this, and here she was, needing it right after arriving in Moscow.
