Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Passing by Each Other_1

Wang Ye also overheard the conversation between the two young girls.

He felt rather helpless...

However, he was considering whether or not to approach Han Xiaodan and greet her.

No matter what, having once been a husband and wife brings a certain degree of affection. Moreover, in his past life, he and Han Xiaodan had been a married couple for several years, even having a child together...

This was no longer a matter of love, but of a familial bond that had formed between the two of them!

However, after quite some hesitation, Wang Ye failed to put his foot forward.

Because he was unsure how to explain it...

In this life, it was the first time he and Han Xiaodan had met; there had been no prior encounters nor any connection between them.

So, how should he explain this situation?

Should he go up to her and say: "Hello, my wife, I am here for you."

Then, Han Xiaodan would probably scream "Pervert!" and he would have to forget about attending his Study Abroad Promotion Conference the next day, because he would be drinking tea at the police station...

Even if he tried to play it off as if he did not know her, it would still be highly inappropriate to strike up a conversation with her.

Han Xiaodan was still just a high school student, probably a freshman, still very young.

It would be highly unlikely for her to have a phone number, let alone a QQ number!

Should he ask her to take down his address so they could correspond by letters in the future?

That just wasn’t realistic...

Therefore, after pacing back and forth for a long time, Wang Ye refrained from advancing.

He watched Han Xiaodan’s figure disappear behind the school gates and fade from sight.

Their first encounter in this life had thus passed by...

Wang Ye then lost the mood to continue wandering, heaving a sigh of relief, he forced a smile on his face, saying to Angelina: "I am a bit tired. Let’s go back to the hotel."

Angelina glanced at him worriedly and timidly asked, "What’s wrong, Misha? Did something... upsetting happen?"

Wang Ye shook his head. He didn’t know how to explain the situation to her.

Firstly, he couldn’t bring himself to mention it, and secondly, even if he did, Angelina wouldn’t be able to comprehend it...

Seeing Wang Ye like this, Angelina stopped probing and simply held his hand tightly...

.......

Just as they returned to The guest house, they bumped into Li Changyun.

Wang Ye and Angelina quickly let go of each other’s hands, but this small action was already spotted by Li Changyun.

He did not say anything, he merely smiled at Angelina before pulling Wang Ye to one side, "Come, come, I have something to discuss with you."

Pulling Wang Ye to a deserted corner of the hallway, he stared at Wang Ye for a long while with suspicion, which gave Wang Ye goosebumps.

"What’s wrong, Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Changyun glared at him, "Were you, by any chance... involved with that girl in any way? I’m telling you, it wasn’t easy for your parents to send you abroad for your studies, you can’t mess around and lose focus on your studies. Although this trip back home has already interrupted your studies, this affair also involves you, so I can’t say anything about it."

The mentality of the older generation believed that puppy love was a distraction from school.

What could Wang Ye say? He could only try to explain himself, "No such thing, Uncle, you are overthinking it. Angelina and I are good friends, there isn’t any relationship of the sort you are implying."

Li Changyun no longer dwelled on the matter, he merely warned Wang Ye to be careful not to inadvertently cause any trouble.

If he fails to get his diploma and instead brings home a child...

Li Changyun sought Wang Ye for another matter.

After discussing the "puppy love" issue, Li Changyun pulled out a bulky, large envelope from his pocket and handed it to Wang Ye.

He said smugly, "This time, cooperating with Qingyun Company is all down to your efforts, so naturally, you deserve some recognition. There is ten thousand yuan in this envelope, it’s a reward from our school and I fought for it on your behalf."

Believe it or not, Uncle did indeed take care of Wang Ye.

This money could either be given or not given, after all, it was public business.

But he still managed to secure this reward for Wang Ye - ten thousand yuan was no small sum in those days!

Wang Ye hesitated, what was going on...

He was a major shareholder in Qingyun Company!

He couldn’t possibly "benefit from both sides", that wasn’t right...

He pushed the big envelope back to Li Changyun, "I better not take this money. This time, I helped a friend out and of course, I also helped you, Uncle. I learned a lot in the process; it wouldn’t be right to ask for money too."

To his surprise, Li Changyun forcefully said, "Just take it! This is public money, not from my own pocket. If you don’t want it, it’s your loss! Your parents are finding it quite tough to support your studies abroad, with this money, you could alleviate their financial burden a little."

With that, Wang Ye couldn’t counter his arguments anymore and reluctantly took the envelope.

Only then did Li Changyun register a smile on his face, he patted Wang Ye’s shoulder encouragingly, "You have to give a speech on stage tomorrow right? Don’t be scared. Even though there will be a lot of people, just ignore them and say what you need to say. You are quite promising. In the future, our whole family might have to rely on you, set a good example for your younger siblings!"

Here, the siblings he referred to were not Wang Ye’s biological siblings, but the numerous cousins in the family.

Wang Ye nodded, indicating that he was up to the challenge.

In truth, he had no problem whatsoever.

In his past life, not to mention internal company meetings, he had attended countless large-scale trainings. There wasn’t any situation that he hadn’t encountered before.

Now, facing a crowd of students and parents to give a speech would be a walk in the park.

.......

After Li Changyun left, Wang Ye noticed that Angelina was still waiting for him at the other end of the hallway.

He quickly walked over to her, checked to make sure no one was around, held Angelina’s hand and suggested, "We have nothing to do this afternoon, would you like to... take a nap together? We can go to my room."

Regrettably, before Angelina could even respond, he was interrupted again.

Liu Mei walked over from the other end of the hallway. As soon as she saw Wang Ye in the distance, she called out, "Wang Ye, do you have a moment? I’d like to have a chat with you."

Now, Wang Ye was starting to regret inviting Liu Mei.

However, she was Nalan Yaqi’s mother, and he was supposed to call her Aunt, he couldn’t disrespect her.

So, reluctantly forcing a smile, he asked, "Auntie, what can I do for you? Let’s talk in my room."

........

Once they were in the room, Wang Ye purposely left the door ajar.

After all, a man and a woman alone in a room with the door closed would give rise to speculations if spotted...

As soon as they were seated, instead of starting the conversation, Liu Mei took out a box of cigarettes designated for women, the logo seemed to be of Seven Star - Wang Ye wasn’t familiar with women’s cigarettes.

"May I smoke?" Liu Mei asked.

Of course!

Wang Ye smiled and fished out a pack of Black Russian cigarettes from his pocket, counter-offering, "Would you like to try this one instead?"
