Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Almost Recognized by Someone_1

Sitting in first class, Ruan Xiaozhu and Nalan Yaqi both felt a little constrained.

They had flown many times before, but truth be told, this was their first time in first class!

It was noticeably different from economy class, the seats were much bigger, and the space between seats was very spacious.

Touching the wide armrest, Ruan Xiaozhu leaned over and whispered to Wang Ye, "These tickets must have been expensive! It’s not really necessary, after all, it’s just six or seven hours, economy class would be just fine."

Since they were flying back home together, the tickets were purchased by Wang Ye, and Ruan Xiaozhu didn’t have to pay a cent.

"It’s not expensive, I think it’s around three thousand US dollars, round trip," Wang Ye casually replied.

"Wow, the rich sure do talk differently, over three thousand dollars and you say it’s not expensive. Economy class round trip is only about five hundred dollars," Ruan Xiaozhu sighed and shook her head.

Indeed, a student fare for a round-trip from Moscow to the capital was only five hundred dollars, which was quite cheap.

Upon hearing their conversation, Nalan Yaqi scoffed a little, she smiled at Ruan Xiaozhu and said, "Sister Xiaozhu, you’re the CEO of a company now and your income isn’t low. Isn’t the reason we earn so much money to live better lives? If you think flying first class is something, Brother Ye has even bought a private jet! The next time we go back home, we won’t be flying commercial, we’ll take the private jet!"

Nalan Yaqi knew that Wang Ye had ordered a private jet.

Ruan Xiaozhu didn’t say anything for a long time, apparently, the phrase "private jet" was a huge shock to her!

The surprises... or shocks that her "cheap cousin" had given her were just too numerous...

But upon further thought, Wang Ye indeed had the ability to buy a private jet, even though she didn’t know everything about him.

However, just based on what she knew, she could easily judge that Wang Ye’s net worth was well over a billion dollars!

Would it be too much for a billionaire of this level to buy a private jet?

...

It wasn’t the worn-out Tu-154 anymore. The international flight was now on a Boeing 747, a very large aircraft that could accommodate four to five hundred passengers.

The facilities in first class and the meals provided were satisfactory, at the very least they were worth the ticket price.

However, all this didn’t matter much to Wang Ye as his favorite thing to do on long-haul flights was sleep!

After the plane took off, he had a bottle of beer and some nuts, ate until he was full, and then went to sleep with his head covered.

When he opened his eyes again, the plane had been flying for almost five hours, more than halfway through the journey.

He got up to stretch his body, headed to the rear of the plane, and prepared to have a cigarette to refresh himself.

Smoking was still allowed on long-haul flights back then.

In the smoking area at the rear of the plane, a group of seasoned smokers gathered, puffing away.

This was a domestic flight and it was close to the Spring Festival, so almost everyone on the plane was Chinese!

The middle-aged men in their thirties and forties who were smoking were all small bosses doing business in the big market.

As they smoked and talked, they saw Wang Ye coming over and smiled at him in a friendly manner.

After all, it’s always heartwarming to see compatriots in a foreign country.

One of the middle-aged men thoroughly looked Wang Ye up and down and suddenly asked, "This is... young man, you are Chinese, aren’t you?"

Wang Ye smiled and nodded naturally, replying, "Yes, I’m studying at Friendship University, going back home for the Spring Festival."

The man shook his head in disbelief and muttered to himself, "I knew it couldn’t be, he just looked a bit alike."

There was no context to his words, but Wang Ye understood what he meant.

Clearly, this small business owner must have seen "Mikhail" before, and now seeing that Wang Ye and Mikhail looked alike, he said as much.

However, Wang Ye was not worried about being recognized.

Because his appearance now was nothing like what it was when he was at the New Sun Market!

At work in the New Sun Market, Wang Ye was always dressed in a suit and tie, his hair neatly combed, and especially wherever he went, he was followed by a large group of people!

That aura, that posture, anyone could tell he was a big boss!

But today, Wang Ye wasn’t in a suit, he was wearing ordinary casual clothes, his hair was a bit fluffy and messy, and he wore plain glasses on his nose, looking like a university student!

Plus, he no longer had a large group of bodyguards and followers...

Additionally, they were in first class, there was no need to queue for boarding.

Nobody paid any more attention to Wang Ye as the several middle-aged men chatted while smoking.

"Lao Zhang’s business has been doing well this year, you must have made quite a bit of money. When are you planning to come back next year?"

"Ah, it’s just a small business, didn’t make much money, but next year I plan to export more goods, rent another stall, make the business a bit bigger, as these past few years, business has been getting better and better."

"Yes, I have to say, the New Sun Group does a solid job! The business environment at the New Sun Market is much better now compared to when we first arrived years ago. We Chinese businessmen had it tough in Moscow back then, we didn’t dare to leave the market as we could easily get caught by gypsies and had to pay thousands of rubles to get away. Too often they could just shut down the market, one bad day could obliterate a year’s worth of hard work."

"Now things are better, we are legitimate import and export traders. Now when we talk about it with others, we can finally hold our heads high!" ...

Wang Ye quietly smoked while listening to their conversation with a smile on his face.

He could tell that these few people were full of confidence about the New Sun Market and their future business prospects.

This made Wang Ye feel a little proud!

Because, if not for Wang Ye, the situation of Chinese businessmen in Moscow wouldn’t have changed so significantly!

It was all because of Wang Ye.

Although Wang Ye wasn’t purely doing good deeds, and he had his own interests at stake, overall he did a great thing for the Chinese businessmen!

If it weren’t for him, according to Wang Ye’s "future" memory, the Chinese businessmen in Moscow would have had a tough time.

Several years later a market closure operation severely impacted many Chinese businessmen, causing some to go bankrupt and lose everything!

...

After smoking a cigarette, Wang Ye returned to his seat.

What he didn’t know was that after he left, the few middle-aged small bosses behind him started to discuss him.

"Hey, did you guys notice that young man earlier? The more I look at him, the more he looks like Mr. Mikhail, the big boss of our market." The man who started the conversation was the same one who had asked Wang Ye if he was "Chinese".

As he said that, the others also joined in the discussion.

"Indeed, I was stunned when he came over, nearly went over to greet him, but didn’t you ask him just now? He’s just a student."

"It definitely can’t be him. What a presence Mr. Mikhail has! I heard he’s now a Duma member, wherever he goes, he is surrounded by a bunch of people. How could he possibly be on the same flight as us?"

After much discussion, none of them really suspected that Wang Ye was "Mikhail" because they themselves deemed it impossible...
