Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Natalia is Coming_1

After discussing it with Anton, Wang Ye said hello to Kaja, went down to start his car and drove straight back to the apartment.

As soon as he entered the door, Angelina greeted him cheerfully. "Misha, I’ve just talked to Natalia about the Livadia Palace. She promised me that she would look into it tomorrow. Apparently, the place is intended to be renovated and turned into a museum. But because of funding constraints, it has been postponed."

Wang Ye nodded and casually asked, "Didn’t she ask me why I want to buy this place?"

"Of course she did! She inquired about everything and we chatted for quite a while. However, I didn’t tell her everything. I only mentioned that you want to invest into the tourism industry, so you need to acquire a few decent hotels. She was a little skeptical, thinking you couldn’t have that much money," Angelina answered with laughter.

True, Natalia, with her nosy nature, wouldn’t miss asking such a thing.

Wang Ye smiled and said, "I bet she would be furious if she knew about my current situation."

With an apologetic tone, Angelina said, "Actually, she didn’t mean any harm. Just that... Well, she was just really affected by the breakdown of the Former Soviet Union and the weakening power of Russia. As a result, she feels that the whole world is hostile towards Russia, not only her dislike towards Asians, but an even stronger distaste for Europeans and Americans."

Wang Ye was already familiar with what kind of person Natalia is, Angelina didn’t need to explain.

This was a pure "Tsarist faction" supporter, even dreaming of the "restoration of Tsarist Russia".

Even thinking about rallying the Emperor to ascend the throne and become the Tsar...

People like her, when seen by outsiders, may appear quite comical, but one has to admit that she has such an ideal, and is willing to sacrifice everything for it!

According to rumors on the Internet, Natalia seems to have a relation to a certain grand duke from the Tsarist Russia period, so technically she’s a member of the "nobility".

"By the way, Natalia is coming to Moscow for an official visit in a few days for some further training," Angelina suddenly remembered and added.

As an assistant to a prosecutor in Crimea and a Ukraine public servant, it’s strange for her to come to Moscow for training.

But at that time, the situation was really chaotic, Crimea Peninsula was nominally under Ukraine, but the local people and political arena had a strong inclination towards Russia, and Russia didn’t treat them as outsiders either.

"That’s great! You can take her out for some sightseeing when she’s here, let her broaden her horizons so she doesn’t always stick around the island with a narrow view of the world." Wang Ye shrugged and joked.

He hadn’t forgotten, during their past meal together, he mentioned wanting to show Natalia a thing or two.

However, he’s been too busy lately and probably won’t have time to personally show her around, so he’d have to leave this task to Angelina.

"Hey, how’s Nova’s school application going? Did she apply to Friendship University or Moscow University?" Wang Ye casually asked.

He hadn’t forgotten about his aunt-in-law, Nova...

"She applied to Friendship University herself. There shouldn’t be any problem. By the way, you guys should be preparing for your preparatory graduation exam soon, what are you going to do?" Angelina answered.

Wang Ye smacked his forehead, he had completely forgotten that he was still a student...

It was already the end of May and exams for preparatory graduation were just around the corner, as well as applications for First Year College Majors.

His identity as "Mikhail", according to Khodorkovsky’s arrangement, is supposed to be attending Moscow University.

However, as "Wang Ye", he would prefer to keep studying at Friendship University.

This way, the two "identities" would be separate and not cause any intersection, which seems to be a more appropriate arrangement.

"I’ll go to the school tomorrow and settle this enrollment matter. I don’t have time for exams, it’s too much of a delay. By the way, the Director of External Affairs should have the authority to handle the enrollment process, right?" Wang Ye said, frowning.

Angelina thought for a bit, then confidently replied, "I’m not sure about other universities, but at Friendship University, the Director of External Affairs has a lot of power. As long as he agrees, you would definitely be enrolled. Plus, with your proficiency in Russian, there should be no issues."

Wang Ye was no stranger to the Director of External Affairs. Remember their last trip to China to attend the Study Abroad Promotion Conference? They went together.

The Director of External Affairs had quite a deep impression of Wang Ye and praised his Russian language skills several times during the trip.

Of course, the Director of External Affairs didn’t know that Wang Ye was also the person behind Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company...

......

Early the next morning, Nalan Yaqi came knocking at the door, bringing a pot of fragrant Jujube Mixed Grain Porridge and a plate of freshly made Egg Pancakes.

"My mother made this. Try it and see how it tastes. Mom said the conditions were a bit limiting, so she made do with what she had," she said gleefully.

Wang Ye sniffed it a few times, it smelled really good...

This was a typical Chinese breakfast!

He had grown tired of eating toast fried bacon sausage every day.

"Well, thank your mom for me. By the way, how are you guys planning your day? Do you want to visit Qingyun Company and the major markets?" Wang Ye asked casually, as he accepted the porridge and pancakes.

"We’ll see, soon I’ll take her to Red Square for a tour, we probably won’t have enough time for the major markets today, maybe tomorrow." Nalan Yaqi answered.

Aunt Liu was going to stay here for a few more days, so they weren’t in a hurry.

......

Angelina also found Nalan Yaqi’s breakfast very novel.

After trying both dishes, she commented on them: "This Egg Pancake is delicious! I would like to learn how to make it from Aunt Liu when she’s free. However...this porridge doesn’t seem to be as good as yogurt..."

Food tastes are just a matter of habit.

Like here in Russia, during winter, they prefer to start the day by grabbing a bottle of iced water from the fridge and guzzling it down!

In China, if you did that, your parents would scold you to death...

After devouring two big bowls of porridge and a few pancakes, Wang Ye patted his belly, feeling content and satisfied.

"You should go to work by yourself in the while. I need to get to school to take care of my enrollment," Wang Ye told Angelina.

Angelina nodded, and said with a touch of concern, "Do you have the director’s phone number? Maybe you should call and make an appointment first."

Wang Ye was rendered speechless, while putting on his coat, he said, "Do I need to make an appointment with him? It should be the other way around! I’m quite familiar with the director and his assistant. I can just go straight there."

Indeed, for Wang Ye...,

No, it should be "Mikhail’s" status and position. The director of external affairs was really no match.

......

By the time Wang Ye got downstairs, Xie Liaosha and the others were already waiting, and the cars were ready to go.

"Let’s go, we need to go to the main building of Friendship University to take care of some things," Wang Ye instructed as he got into the car.

"Alright then."

Xie Liaosha started the car and, with the engine’s bubbling sound that was like boiling water, the two Mercedes Benz cars drove towards the main building of Friendship University.
