Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Like a Superstar_1

The group leader pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to everyone:

"It might be our business partner, that is, the Russian Kitty Hawk Corporation, who stepped in to help."

"When I called our company earlier, the leaders said they would contact them, but I didn’t expect it to work so quickly."

"It seems that our partners are indeed quite powerful, haha..."

The middle-aged woman snorted, then muttered, "I thought it was my son who had pulled some strings..."

Zhang Xiaoxi, standing nearby, heard everything clearly. She had a vague feeling that this matter... might... possibly be related to Wang Ye...

Because Wang Ye had told her on the phone, "Wait for a bit, it will be all right soon," and just a few minutes later, everything was indeed all right!

However, she found this hypothesis a bit absurd. While Wang Ye might have made some money doing business here, he couldn’t have such authority that one phone call would fix everything with the airport security personnel!

This was not about money, it was about power.

How could a foreign student like Wang Ye have access to power like this in a foreign land?

......

Though they did not fully understand what had happened, it was a good thing after all.

Filled with joy, everyone followed the group leader out of the customs area and into the waiting hall, gathering together once again.

The group leader, waving a small flag in his hand, loudly said, "Everyone settle down, let me speak. In a moment, we will be picked up by a coach, and we will head straight to our hotel, which is the very famous Xiao Ying Hotel in Moscow, a property under our business partner, the Xiao Ying Group..."

In his speech, he boasted about the strength of the Xiao Ying Group, indirectly promoting his own company as well.

If their business partner was such an impressive force, then their own company certainly wouldn’t be far behind.

Just as he was in full flow, his cell phone rang.

He picked it up, listened to the person on the other end, and looked a little surprised. He scanned the travel group, his gaze finally settling on Zhang Xiaoxi’s face.

However, he didn’t linger on her for long and quickly looked away. Zhang Xiaoxi didn’t notice.

"Mhm, I see...understood...okay..."

After hanging up, the group leader thought for a moment, revealing a smile, he spoke in a softer voice than before.

"Well..., I just mentioned strict rules about individual activities. This is out of concern for everyone’s safety, but there are no absolutes. There are certain circumstances under which you can leave the group to do things on your own. That is, when there is a local person to vouch for you! And, in case anything happens while you’re away, the travel agency cannot be held responsible...you need to take responsibility by yourself..."

Everyone was a bit baffled, not understanding why he brought this up so suddenly. After all, most people had no intention of leaving the group.

This wasn’t like back in their home country. If they got separated from the group, with the language barrier and all, it’d be very difficult to move around, given that most Russians don’t speak English.

Without a translator, moving around would certainly be challenging.

After beating around the bush, the group leader finally turned to Zhang Xiaoxi and said with a smile, "Zhang Xiaoxi, there’s an old classmate of yours waiting for you outside. You can leave the group now. Later, give me a call and let me know your schedule. If you decide to rejoin the group, let me know in advance. Of course, you can continue on your own too. Since you’ve got friends here, there shouldn’t be any problem."

Zhang Xiaoxi was a bit stunned. Clearly, it was Wang Ye waiting for her outside.

How Wang Ye had managed to contact the group leader, and how he got him to agree to let her leave the group so easily, she had no idea.

But there was no time to ponder that now. Zhang Xiaoxi nodded her head, pulled her suitcase forward a couple of steps, took her passport from the group leader, told him she would call him later, then headed for the main hall exit.

Behind her, there was a buzz of conversation among the other people in the tour group.

Especially the middle-aged woman who had tried to chat with Zhang Xiaoxi on the plane, she seemed quite disgruntled and asked the group leader, "You just let her go like that? Is there really an old classmate waiting for her outside? What if something were to happen? As our tour guide, you’re not being responsible at all!"

The group leader opened his mouth, trying to explain something, but in the end, he didn’t offer much of an explanation.

He only told the middle-aged woman, "There really is someone in Moscow who can vouch for her, there will be no problems. Besides, we are about to reach the main hall exit to board the bus, we can see for ourselves if Zhang Xiaoxi does meet up with her old classmate."

......

Zhang Xiaoxi had just reached the exit of the main hall when she saw that familiar figure.

Wang Ye was standing there, smiling at her.

At over 1.80 meters tall, Wang Ye wasn’t considered short even in Moscow.

Of course, he wasn’t especially tall either. After all, compared to the people at Wagner’s security company, his height was relatively low.

People like Anton, and Xie Liaosha, they were all sturdy men over 1.90 meters tall!

But amidst the bustling crowd, Zhang Xiaoxi spotted Wang Ye immediately. That’s because the man standing there was rather eye-catching...

Here, Wang Ye seemed completely different from the Wang Ye she saw when he was back home during the New Year’s holiday!

Was it because he was dressed differently?

Zhang Xiaoxi pondered.

It might be possible. During the New Year holiday Wang Ye was wearing an ill-fitted ordinary down jacket, and his hair was slightly dishevelled. He looked like an energetic ordinary university student.

But now, Wang Ye was wearing a well-fitted suit, clearly high-end brand attire.

The pointy leather shoes on his feet shone brightly, reflecting the lights of the hall!

As for his hair, it looked as if it had just been carefully styled by a hairdresser, not a single strand out of place!

Because of this appearance, this get-up, Wang Ye appeared much more mature, like those business tycoons or financial elites from television dramas...

Of course, I mean the ones played by superstars in TV dramas, not the ones in real life.

After all, real-life business moguls are mostly pot-belly, or quite old, or not very handsome. They’re quite different from those on screen.

Wang Ye standing there indeed looked like a superstar.

Zhang Xiaoxi realized that many passers-by would glance at Wang Ye, especially the younger Russian girls, who repeatedly turned their heads to look at him.

Some of the braver ones seemed to want to chat up Wang Ye, babbling on in Russian to him. Of course, Zhang Xiaoxi couldn’t understand them.

Zhang Xiaoxi was delighted to see that Wang Ye simply politely shook his head, without indulging these women.

......

Zhang Xiaoxi felt a touch of shyness. She felt Wang Ye had gone to great lengths to look so dazzling, was it because he was coming to meet her?

Could he... have feelings for her...?

If so... should she accept them?
