Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 297 Freshman Year_1

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Freshman Year_1

Considering the fact that he has a "dual identity" and may be "forced" to enter the political stage in the future due to his Russian identity, Wang Ye had seriously considered this issue.

He planned to gradually let the identity of "Wang Ye" fade away.

This means he will try not to appear in public places as "Wang Ye", visit Friendship University less, and stop attending classes...

Gradually, he thought, there should be fewer people who would remember him.

After all, everyone studying abroad is quite busy, either working or finding ways to start a business.

Or they are busy making friends and playing on their computers...

Almost no one would bother with people who are irrelevant to them, even if those people were once a bit popular.

Of course, even if there are still people who can recognize that "Mikhail" is "Wang Ye", it doesn’t matter.

After all, his so-called "career" in politics is to be a Duma Member as far as possible. Anything beyond that is impossible.

That could be considered his peak, I guess...

As long as he remains on the side of The Emperor and receives The Emperor’s support, his identity won’t be questioned by anyone!

......

It was early September, and all the universities began their semesters as the freshmen arrived.

Moscow University’s main campus was bustling with activity.

This is Russia’s best university, with practically all "second generations" concentrated here.

Almost no students are seen driving to Friendship University. But that’s not the case with Moscow University.

Not only do students drive there, but there are also numerous luxury cars!

Especially during summer nights, Sparrow Mountain, where Moscow University is located, becomes a gathering place for rich second-generation street racers, most of whom are students at Moscow University.

The parking lot in front of the main building was filled with cars, one after another.

From the cheapest Lada, to slightly better Toyotas and Hyundais, to entry-level luxury cars like BMWs and Mercedes-Benz, even sports cars like Porsche could be seen!

Wang Ye came to register and attend classes, and in order not to attract attention, he had made certain preparations.

Driving the Mercedes Benz would definitely be out of the question, as that car would be the focus wherever it went!

That’s why Wang Ye had Kaja buy him a used Toyota Camry...

Which cost just over 20,000 US dollars.

This type of car, parked in front of the main building of Moscow University, would definitely go unnoticed.

Because it’s a very typical mid-low-end car, it’s not too expensive nor too cheap, just right...

He had also swapped out his usual Ermenegildo Zegna and Armani suits for a set of Adidas tracksuits.

He exchanged his shiny Oxford leather shoes for a pair of Converse canvas shoes.

He’d also messed up his usually neatly combed hair, now letting it hang loosely on his head.

In short, Wang Ye now looked like a very lively university student!

Moreover, he looked like a freshman...

If Big Head Kong, Anton, and Kaja saw him now, they probably wouldn’t believe that this was the "Mikhail" they knew!

.........

Of course, someone helped Wang Ye complete his enrollment documentation ahead of time, and he had received his student ID.

From now on, when he goes to Moscow University’s main building dormitory to visit Ruan Xiaozhu, he wouldn’t need her to meet him downstairs, because he is now a student of Moscow University!

Following the signage in front of the main building, Wang Ye arrived at the large lecture hall on the third floor.

The number of political science students is not large because Moscow University has many good specialties. Fields like mathematics, physics, law are the university’s main strengths.

Even if not those, majors like computer science, medical studies, or finance would still provide good job prospects in the future.

The ones who chose to study political science are probably from "special" families.

Of course, there is another group who are willing to study political science because it’s easy to graduate from this department.

Clearly, that would be international Chinese students...

At Moscow University, all Chinese international students know that the two easiest faculties to graduate from and have the most fun are the sociology and political science departments!

However, there are significantly more Chinese students studying sociology than political science.

The reason for this is straightforward - the tuition fees for the Sociology department are much cheaper than those for Political Science...

Wang Ye was assigned to the Political Science (1) class...

Oh, there’s only one class for their department this year!

There were a total of 32 people in the class, among them five Chinese students (not counting Wang Ye), and the remaining 27 were Russians.

Of course, Wang Ye could also be considered a "Russian", as he registered with Russian citizenship...

.........

As soon as Wang Ye entered the classroom, a hubbub of noise hit him.

Everyone was a freshman, busy introducing themselves to each other.

He was the last student to walk into the classroom since everyone else had arrived quite a while ago.

As he walked in, many students nodded and smiled at Wang Ye in a friendly greeting.

Wang Ye responded with a smile and casually found an empty seat to sit down.

The five Chinese international students sat behind him.

Three boys and two girls, they were chatting together and assumed Wang Ye was another Chinese international student.

One of the boys reached over from behind and patted Wang Ye’s shoulder, saying with a laugh, "Hey, buddy, I haven’t seen you during our preparatory course. Did you transfer from another university?"

It makes sense, if he attended the preparatory course in Moscow University, they would have become familiar.

So, his guess was that Wang Ye had transferred from another University, meaning he attended his preparation course at another university, and then transferred to Moscow University after obtaining his preparatory course diploma.

Such cases are very common.

International students in China might find it hard to believe how easy it is to transfer from one university to another in Russia.

You can even study your freshman and sophomore years at Friendship University, then transfer to Moscow University for your junior year and still obtain a diploma from Moscow University upon graduation!

Of course, this requires good academic performance and fluency in Russian to be able to communicate with the department head.

There seems to be few Chinese students who can meet these requirements...

......

After being patted on the shoulder, Wang Ye turned around and said with a smile in Russian, "Hello, my name is Mikhail, I am Russian."

The Chinese students behind him were stunned immediately.

They scrutinized Wang Ye suspiciously. After a while, one of the girls said, "Are you joking? Russians shouldn’t look like you..."

Wang Ye helplessly responded in Chinese, "No joke, I’m really Russian, but I’m also of Chinese descent."

The Chinese international students looked at each other and seemed to believe what Wang Ye had said.

"You speak Chinese well, your Mandarin is quite standard. Are you local to Moscow, and do you have a girlfriend?" The girl asked excitedly.

As she said this, she exchanged glances with the girl sitting next to her and winked...
