Chapter 296: Chapter 296 He is actually a Prince_1

A few days ago, while Wang Ye paid his tuition, he also took care of his accommodation fees.

Anyway, it wasn’t very much, only forty-five US dollars per month, and just over five hundred US dollars for the year.

Although he usually stays in the apartment, you never know when he might want to return to campus to feel like a student again...

So he asked Song Xiaogang to talk to the dormitory administrator and get them a shared room.

After school starts, the African student studying abroad, Xiao Hei, would probably be ecstatic, because Wang Ye and Song Xiaogang don’t usually stay there, so he would have the big room all to himself.

"Song, do you need any help? Have you moved everything yet?" Xiao Hei asked concernedly when he saw Song Xiaogang carrying bags of stuff.

Song Xiaogang shook his head with a smile, "No need, I only have a little stuff. The room is already so clean; why did you clean it again?"

Their dormitory was fitted with... floor leather?

Anyway, it’s something like plastic, a thick layer, which has dull yellow brick pattern on the top.

This kind of material is rarely seen in China, but it’s quite common here in Russia.

The good thing about this is that it’s easy to clean. No matter what gets on it, all it takes is a wipe with a damp cloth, and it will be as good as new.

Xiao Hei was holding a bucket of water, using an old towel, squatting there wiping the floor.

The cleaned floor was absolutely spotless, he could walk barefoot in the room!

Anyone who’s been to university and lived in a dormitory would know how fortunate it is to have a roommate who loves cleanliness.

Both Song Xiaogang and Xiao Hei were such people...

That’s why their dormitory was even cleaner than most girls’ dormitories.

Xiao Hei gave a shy smile, "I’m used to it at home. Just finished tidying up, saw the floor was a bit dirty, so I cleaned it again."

Speaking of which, although they’ve been living together for almost a year, Song Xiaogang has never chatted with him about their respective families.

Previously, it’s because they don’t speak the same language, they could only communicate using simple Russian and gestures. But now both of their Russian has improved dramatically, so while Song Xiaogang was organizing his things, he started chatting with Xiao Hei.

"Mumu, which country are you from? You told me once, but I forgot," asked Song Xiaogang.

This African student studying abroad, Xiao Hei, his real name is "Muwami Paul Kajameir..." his name is very long!

Usually, his friends and colleagues call him "Mumu", which is equivalent to Wang Ye’s Russian name "Mikhail" and his nickname "Misha".

Obviously, Mumu is used to people not knowing his country, he didn’t mind at all, he replied with a smile, "I’m from Burkina Faso, a small country in West Africa. Oh, it used to be colonized by France, so French is the official language there."

Song Xiaogang repeated "Burkina Faso" several times silently, but finally gave up because it is too difficult to pronounce and remember...

Also, he had never heard of this country before!

"How many people are in your country? And its economy...oh, I mean, within Africa?" Song Xiaogang asked.

Obviously, one can hardly find a wealthy country in Africa, so comparisons have to be made within the continent.

Mumu pursed his lips and shook his head, "It’s very poor, extremely poor! Our country is quite populous, with over sixteen million people, but our economy is very backward, largely depending on agriculture and animal husbandry, with hardly any industrial system to speak of."

Song Xiaogang was a little surprised. He never thought that this country, which he’d never heard of, would have so many people!

This population, if placed in Asia, may not mean much, as there are many "monsters" in Asian countries...

But in Africa, it should be considered a substantial country!

However, he wasn’t surprised at all when Mumu said that their country’s economy depends on agriculture and animal husbandry and is very backward, because isn’t that the case in most African countries?

To lighten the mood, he joked, "I’ve heard there are lots of tribal chiefs and such in your place, you’re not a prince or something, are you."

"Yes, my father is the leader of the largest tribe in the Wolter Mosi tribe. So, based on what you said, I suppose I would be a prince. But we don’t call it a prince over there, people respect my father, not me. Similarly, until I become the tribal leader, I also have no privileges," Mumu chorused with a laugh.

This statement truly startled Song Xiaogang.

Who would have thought that he had been living with a prince from Africa for a year?

"You... you’re not joking, are you!" Song Xiaogang stared at Mumu, somewhat unable to believe it.

Mumu shrugged, "You may not know, but many of the black foreign students studying here are actually ’princes’ or ’princesses’. Otherwise, with the level of poverty over there, we couldn’t even afford the plane tickets to Moscow. Even so, I received some scholarships and my family is relatively wealthy, which is why I could afford to study abroad."

Song Xiaogang thought about it and agreed!

Many African countries are so poor, those who can send their children to study abroad are definitely not ordinary people.

Plus, there are so many tribal chiefs there, so it’s normal that there are princes and princesses around him.

Moreover, one can’t equate a "prince" like Mumu with the "princes" one usually imagines.

As Mumu explained earlier, his father is just the chief of a large local tribe and one doesn’t know how big this tribe is.

There’s a chance it could only be a few thousand people, equivalent to a natural village in China...

The chieftain is then equivalent to the village head in China!

In comparison, African chiefs and princes and princesses, are far behind those in the Middle East. The prestige is completely different!

Even so, when Song Xiaogang looks at Mumu again, he sees him differently.

The dark face seemed even more youthful and handsome...

...........

At the end of August, students were busy with the start of school.

Although Wang Ye was about to set foot into university as a "prospective" student, evidently, he didn’t have graduation on his mind.

His issue with Friendship University was not to be mentioned; he had fixed up matters with the Director of the Foreign Affairs Office under the alias "Wang Ye", so for the next few years, he could get his diploma with "Full Excellence" grades without revealing his identity.

Who knows, he might even get honored as an "Outstanding Graduate"...

On the other side, according to Khodorkovsky’s arrangement, Wang Ye had applied for a degree at Moscow University under the alias "Mikhail".

As for the major, well, it was directly selected by Khodorkovsky - Political Science!
