Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Choose for Yourself_1

Song Xiaogang picked up the bottle of beer and poured a full glass for himself.

Picking up the glass, he sincerely said to Wang Ye, "Brother Ye, you’ve helped me so many times! Especially last time...that life-death lawsuit... If it wasn’t for you, I would have been sentenced by now. I do know that it must have cost you a lot to get that issue sorted out. I’ve always been at a loss as to how to show my gratitude."

This was his heartfelt words, even though Song Xiaogang didn’t know how much money Wang Ye had spent to settle the lawsuit for him.

However, he could always guess!

This is a foreign land, and it was such a serious case, but he was only detained for one night before being released.

The money Wang Ye spent on this must have been no less than 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars, right?

Of course, Song Xiaogang still underestimated Wang Ye’s "consumption capacity". Just to handle his issue, Wang Ye had to pay a staggering 500,000 US dollars!

However, whether it’s 200,000 or 500,000, that’s an amount Song Xiaogang can’t afford.

Even if he wanted to repay this favor, he wouldn’t be able to cough up that much money!

But Song Xiaogang is not someone who is ungrateful.

Short-term repayment of the money is impossible.

He could only find other ways to repay Wang Ye’s kindness.

That’s also why he invited Wang Ye to dinner today.

...

Hearing what Song Xiaogang said, Wang Ye waved his hand with a smile and said indifferently, "We’re fellow townsmen, having the chance to be classmates and roommates in a foreign country, that’s fate. When you’re in trouble and I can help you solve it, I naturally can’t just stand by. Let’s not talk about this, it’s all in the past."

He may not care and consider it as past, but Song Xiaogang can’t.

Song Xiaogang shook his head and said, "Brother Ye, I understand that I might not be able to repay you the money you spent and the favors you did in my lifetime with my ability! But I should do what I can to help you, so my conscience can ease."

That’s his character; he always feels obliged to return favors.

Seeing his perseverance, Wang Ye had no choice but to say, "You are still studying now, don’t think too much. Just focus on learning Russian. After graduation, you will have plenty of time to help me."

Song Xiaogang immediately switched to Russian and said, "My Russian is almost good now. I have no problem with basic daily communication. Besides, once I get out into society and interact more with Russians, my learning will be faster than it is at school. I’ve applied for the Journalism Department. This major doesn’t require me to attend classes every day, so I have enough time to work. Brother Ye, let me work for you."

Listening to his words, Wang Ye also noticed that Song Xiaogang has indeed improved a lot in his Russian, it appears that he has been working hard in the past six months.

Since Song Xiaogang wanted to work, and wanted to work for him specifically, Wang Ye didn’t insist on letting him continue his studies.

Frankly speaking, over here, as long as you master the language, it really doesn’t matter whether you attend classes or not.

The purpose of studying abroad and getting a diploma is for a good job, right?

He thought for a moment and asked Song Xiaogang, "So what kind of job do you want to do? What do you see as your strengths?"

"I’ve practiced martial arts for many years, how about I be your bodyguard?" Song Xiaogang blurted out.

Wang Ye shook his head, laughing, "That’s not suitable for you, what kind of future can a bodyguard have? Besides, I’m not really in any danger. The purpose of having a few bodyguards is primarily for show, so using Russian bodyguards is more fitting."

In terms of loyalty, Song Xiaogang is definitely better than Xie Liaosha and others.

But in terms of combat power, that’s a different matter. This is not to say that Song Xiaogang can’t beat Xie Liaosha’s bodyguards.

After all, Song Xiaogang has practiced martial arts for many years, and he’s tall enough. If it’s a fistfight, chances are Xie Liaosha and others may not be able to beat him.

But the problem is, Xie Liaosha and his crew are real tough guys who fought in wars and saw blood!

And they’re proficient with all kinds of guns, if there’s real danger, they won’t hesitate to use deadly force!

On this front, Song Xiaogang falls short. Plus, his foreign status brings many restrictions, such as not having a gun license.

...

Hearing Wang Ye’s refusal, Song Xiaogang was a bit disappointed, but he still resolutely said, "How about I work as your driver, Brother Ye? I can drive, or be a chef..."

Wang Ye laughed and interrupted him, "Alright, having you do these kinds of jobs is an under-utilization of your skills. Here’s the deal, I’ll soon have a few casinos opening. You can help me keep an eye on one of them, as a...hm, as an assistant general manager for a start. Learn for a while and once you can stand on your own two feet, I’ll hand over a casino to you to manage."

He was talking about the gambling entertainment center in Petersburg.

Or the hotel in Yalta as well.

Although he had people like Yuri, Kaja and others helping him manage Xiao Ying Group, and the management team assigned by the He family, having Song Xiaogang help manage a place is also a good thing.

In a varied place like the gambling entertainment center, that’s very good human experience!

If Song Xiaogang really has a talent in this, having him train there for several years would allow him to grow faster than if he stayed with him being a driver or something similar.

This way, he could have one more right-hand man in the future, right?

Song Xiaogang was taken aback, he didn’t know that Wang Ye owned casinos now!

Blinking in surprise, Song Xiaogang tentatively asked, "Brother Ye, you’re...running those kinds of underground casino, right?"

Clearly, he thought Wang Ye was involved in the rumored underground casinos, but those places are illegal!

But even so, if Wang Ye wanted him to go, Song Xiaogang would not hesitate to go help!

"Ha, what are you talking about? I’m a law-abiding good citizen, how could I run an underground casino? Rest assured, I’ve got a legal gambling license, and am running a legitimate gambling entertainment center. I’ve already confirmed three locations, in Moscow, Petersburg and the Yalta of the Crimea Peninsula. They’ll start renovating and rebuilding soon, and are expected to open for business in about half a year. Would you like to go to Petersburg or Yalta? Pick one."

Wang Ye explained with a smile.

Song Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Although he couldn’t comprehend how Wang Ye managed to get the rumored gambling license, it was incredible!

But he absolutely trusts Wang Ye, and since Wang Ye said he got it, he did!

Because Wang Ye doesn’t need to deceive him on this matter.

After thinking for a while, Song Xiaogang said, "I’d rather go to Petersburg, it would be more convenient for me to come back to Moscow occasionally."

"You mean to come back to see your girlfriend, right? By the way, if you go to Petersburg, what will Yanzi do?" Wang Ye joked.

Song Xiaogang and Yanzi were dating; Wang Ye realized this last time.
