Chapter 349: Chapter 349- Making You a General Manager_1

As for Ruan Xiaozhu, she had never seen this brand back home. Her knowledge of it came from seeing it in a luxury goods store near Red Square after she moved to Moscow.

When she first saw watches priced at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars, she was left speechless and couldn’t stop talking about it for a long time afterward.

That’s how she etched this brand into her mind.

She never expected that the gift Wang Ye would give today would be something so valuable.

Wang Ye laughed lightly, saying casually: "I was not sure what gift would be suitable, so I just bought a few watches, this brand should be fairly decent. It’s not too expensive, just over ten thousand US dollars."

Hearing their conversation, Liu Jun behind them couldn’t help but swallow.

He didn’t know much about Wang Ye’s affairs, but he understood that Wang Ye now was definitely different from a few months ago.

Privately, Liu Jun had speculated about how much money Wang Ye had at his disposal.

After all, he wore the title of "President of the New Sun Group".

Liu Jun guessed Wang Ye’s net worth must be in tens of millions of USD...

But looking at today’s situation, he realized he had been too conservative!

A multi-millionaire would definitely not casually give away a watch worth a hundred thousand dollars!

The extravagance of such a gift could probably only be matched by a billionaire...

Nova, standing beside them, listened to their conversation, dumbfounded. She knew her brother-in-law was very rich, but for a casual gift to be worth a hundred thousand US dollars, that surpassed her imagination!

Looking at the small paper bag on the dining table, Nova didn’t dare to reach out to take it.

To be honest, the total assets of her parents, who had worked all their lives, probably didn’t amount up to one hundred thousand US dollars...

After receiving their watches, everyone eagerly put them on their wrists. They felt a weight on their wrists instantly!

...

After the gifts were given, everyone sat down for tea while waiting for the dishes.

As the "brother-in-law", Wang Ye naturally cared about Nova’s recent circumstances. He asked with a smile, "Have you settled into school well so far?"

Nova quickly nodded her head in affirmation, replying, "Everything’s pretty good, both the teachers and the students are very friendly."

Her life had certainly been more comfortable since coming to Moscow.

Not to mention attending university and enjoying freedom, even in terms of living expenses, she had been much more comfortable than during her high school days!

Her parents didn’t provide her with much allowance, but her sister Angelina "subsidized" her quite a bit, occasionally giving her a few thousand dollars or so.

Angelina, knowing that it would be painful to have no money in a large city like Moscow, especially for a girl, didn’t want her younger sister to suffer the same way now that she had money herself.

A few thousand dollars might not be much for Angelina now, but for a college student like Nova, it was definitely a fortune!

This had allowed Nova to live comfortably at school, to the point where she hardly had to cook for herself anymore.

She had meals in the school cafeteria during classes and in the restaurant downstairs after classes...

Wang Ye smiled and said: "I remember that the school allows students to take a double major. Are you interested in learning another language?"

Nova blinked her eyes and giggled: "Don’t you know? I am learning Chinese from my sister. She’s getting quite good at it. I just started learning, so I’m not very good yet."

Wang Ye didn’t know about this.

Angelina would occasionally speak a few words of Chinese with him before she went back to the Crimea Peninsula, but he didn’t realise she was systematically learning Chinese.

But it’s easy to guess that they were learning Chinese because of himself.

He responded, "That’s great. I was going to talk to you about it anyway. In the future, a lot of the group’s operations will take place in China, so we’re in need of talents who can speak both Chinese and Russian, be they Chinese or Russian. If you can learn Chinese well, you might be able to help me out after you graduate."

Wang Ye was already planning for the future.

In 2001, mainland China was not yet strong and did not possess the strength and influence it has two decades later.

Overseas, especially in the West, most people still looked down on the mainland. When they thought of China, they associated it with poverty and backwardness...

At this time, perhaps only Wang Ye knew that in twenty years...

No, in just seven or eight years, a certain major power in the East would rise strongly!

So he wanted to prepare in advance. While the huge Eastern market had not yet attracted too much attention, he began to slowly lay out his plans.

This included building his team of trusted personnel, so as to avoid later not having reliable people to turn to.

Say nothing of those who came to dinner tonight, those were the people Wang Ye could trust.

Nalan Yaqi goes without saying, as they had already been involved.

As for Nova, she’s his "little aunt", a member of his own family, and Wang Ye planned to make full use of her.

Ruan Xiaozhu is Wang Ye’s cousin, a fellow townsman and relative. Based on Wang Ye’s understanding of her in his previous life, there is absolutely no issue with her. Moreover, she is capable and a strong woman type.

Wang Ye was also slowly cultivating her. She would be put to significant use in the future.

As for Liu Jun, he too is someone whom Wang Ye can trust. They had interacted in their previous lives, and in terms of character, capability, and experience, there were no issues.

...

After showing concern for Nova, Wang Ye turned to look at Liu Jun and asked with a smile: "Brother Liu, have you been busy with the company recently?"

Being addressed as "Brother Liu" caught Liu Jun slightly off guard...

Although that was how Wang Ye had addressed him when they first met.

But the problem is, Liu Jun was still the same Liu Jun.

The Wang Ye of now, however, was no longer the Wang Ye of before...

From the perspective of status and identity, the gap between the two had become very large!

Liu Jun quickly replied: "The busy period just ended. Now there’s not much to do at the company besides the routine work. To be honest, I am not completely adapted to suddenly not being busy. Maybe it’s just my habit, haha."

He was mainly responsible for managing Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company, and the study-abroad intermediary business was periodic.

During the enrollment season in September, they were indeed very busy, handling various complex tasks.

But all the students had already enrolled, and it was still more than half a year until the next enrollment season, so they were suddenly free.

After a moment of thought, Wang Ye asked him: "I don’t know if Brother Liu is interested in working at Xiao Ying Group. I am planning to open a large-scale gambling entertainment center in Yalta, Crimea Peninsula, next year. We are still looking for someone to manage it. If Brother Liu comes over, the position of general manager of the branch company is yours."

It was not just a whim of Wang Ye, he had considered this move for a long time.

He planned to develop Crimea as his own "base", so he had started to gradually shift resources and manpower towards that direction.
