Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Day Before the Promotion Conference_1

A group of people in the vehicle, especially Wang Ye and his party, were quite exhausted after sitting on a flight for a day.

After chatting casually for a while, everyone started to close their eyes and rest against the back of their chairs, silencing the interior of the vehicle.

Liu Mei was seated behind Wang Ye. Surprisingly, she wasn’t sleepy at all and kept her eyes wide open, silently observing Wang Ye.

She had discussed the matter of her daughter becoming a shareholder in the Qingyun Company with her, and it was agreed upon.

At first, Liu Mei didn’t think much of it. She thought that $5000 wasn’t much and it would be alright for her daughter to give it a try, even if she faced some losses and harsh lessons.

After all, she figured it would make her realize that making money in business was not easy at all!

Soon after, Nalan Yaqi called her several times, detailing the company’s progress.

The more she heard, the more Liu Mei sensed that things weren’t ’right’...

Because it seemed that business was really promising!

Moreover, the Qingyun Company which has progressed to this stage can no longer be described as small-scale. One could even say it was more reputable than many formal study abroad intermediary companies in the country!

Many study abroad agencies in our country are still stuck in the old-fashioned mode of operation.

They use advertising to passively wait for students and parents to consult, then delusively con as many people as they can, charging high agency fees.

As a result, the sources of their candidates are scattered with not many in number, hence no scale could be achieved.

However, Qingyun Company took a different approach, proactively creating fine-tuned operations, and even got endorsed by the local Department of Education!

Better yet, they got the personnel from Moscow University and Friendship University to hold promotional conferences domestically!

This obvious comparative advantage set an immediate precedent.

Being honest, if Liu Mei were to have another child who wanted to study abroad but under a limited budget necessitating the choice of a country like Russia, which agency would she choose, the old one or Qingyun Company?

The answer is obvious without even asking!

Different from Li Changyun and the others, Liu Mei learned from her daughter that the "soul" of the Qingyun Company was Wang Ye, a young boy who had just turned eighteen!

This was even more astounding to her.

Why, she wondered, at the same age when her own daughter only knew about fooling around, could Wang Ye be planning and controlling a company? Even up to now, he has done quite an excellent job, hasn’t he?

Liu Mei was curious about this question and she also wanted to know whether the promotional conference organized by Wang Ye will achieve the expected results.

So, when Wang Ye and his party returned to their hometown this time, Liu Mei expressed her wish to go onsite to learn...

...

However, from initial acquaintance at the airport until now, she didn’t see much.

Rather, she became aware that things between Wang Ye and that Russian beauty didn’t seem quite right...

As a mother, she naturally had a good understanding of her daughter’s little thoughts. In the phone calls exchanged between mother and daughter over the past several months, the name "Wang Ye" appeared more and more frequently.

Although Nalan Yaqi claimed that Wang Ye was only her friend, Liu Mei still felt that her daughter had strong feelings for him.

However, now seeing the enthusiasm shown by Wang Ye and Angelina, Liu Mei sighed inside, thinking that her daughter didn’t have a great chance...

...

After several hours of rocky drive, the minivan finally reached their destination, Yangnan City.

Accommodations had already been arranged for by The Yangnan Teacher’s College, at the best guest house in Yangnan City...

Yes, Yangnan City did not have any luxury hotels, it only had guest houses run by public institutions.

However, the accommodation in this guest house was decent, at least it had all the necessary facilities, such as air conditioning, heating, TV, and a bathroom.

Wang Ye and his party naturally wouldn’t be picky. They had traveled all day, spending over ten hours on the plane, further several hours by car. They felt as if they were on the brink of falling apart.

Now, having a bed was a blessing.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Ye naturally couldn’t ask Li Changyun to arrange for him and Angelina to share a room...

After all, he was his elder, Wang Ye dared not ask for such a thing.

Fortunately, the guesthouse had plenty of rooms, and Li Changyun’s party was quite generous, and everyone got their own single room!

At this point, it was very late, around two or three in the morning, so there’s no need to organize a welcoming banquet.

After rooms were allocated to everyone, they each returned to their rooms, they quickly washed and then fell asleep..

...

Around eleven o’clock the next morning, the corridor started to liven up, and everyone got out of bed.

In fact, those who really needed to be busy were Liu Jun and two other Qingyun Company employees. They had to coordinate with Li Changyun, and also inspect the site of the promotion conference.

Others, including Wang Ye, Liu Mei, and the Directors of External Affairs from Moscow University and Friendship University, did not have much to do.

Around eleven in the morning, Liu Jun and Li Changyun returned to the hotel together, along with several leaders from the Yangnan Teacher’s College.

Under such circumstances, Wang Ye naturally didn’t have much to do. When Li Changyun introduced him, a few of the school leaders merely patted him on the shoulder and complimented, "the young man is quite spirited" and such.

Obviously, Liu Jun and the two directors were the focus of the banquet.

At the welcoming banquet, the school leaders, Liu Jun, and the two directors sat together, as they conversed lively while drinking.

However, Wang Ye and Angelina sat in the corner, going completely unnoticed.

The same was true for Liu Mei who was just a bystander.

"During tomorrow’s promotion conference, with the two directors on stage to introduce the program, it will surely be welcomed by the students and parents. The enrollment will definitely go smoothly. Let me toast you two. Please translate this for them Liu," the principal said, raising his glass with a smile on his face.

Of course, by "two directors", he was referring to the directors of external affairs from Moscow University and Friendship University.

Liu Jun played the role of translator, expressing the principal’s words to the two directors.

All adorned in full pomp and circumstance, the two directors, who were no strangers to such scenarios, complimented the Yangnan Teacher’s College in return after hearing the translation, all the while maintaining their smiles.

Although they had never heard of this school before...

By the end of the meal, everyone was stunned by the drinking capacity of the two directors, regardless of their business competence.

Li Changyun, as the director of the admissions office, was known as the "drinking fairy" of the Yangnan Teacher’s College.

With a capacity to drink over a liter and a half, he typically had few opponents.

But today, he was truly convinced. Those two Russians, they honestly drank like fish...

They would gulp down shots without so much as changing their facial expressions!

...

The banquet came to a happy conclusion, leaving everyone in high spirits.

However, none of this had much to do with Wang Ye. Once he finished his meal, he felt bored to stay longer in the banquet.

Turning his attention to Angelina, Wang Ye whispered, "Let’s go, I will take you out and show you around my hometown."

Even though this place wasn’t his small county town, it could still loosely be considered Wang Ye’s hometown...
