MTL - Reborn Russia As An Oligarch-Chapter 4 Enthusiastic monitor
Chapter 4 Enthusiastic monitor
was chatting with Liu Xiaojie, and two girls next to him also came over.
These two girls, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.
Although I can't remember their names, Wang Ye is still a little impressed. These two girls are also his fellows.
However, these two girls are very ordinary in appearance, and the short and fat preparatory school can't stand the weather here before returning to China, and the tall and thin girls transferred to other schools after graduating from the preparatory school, so Wang Ye and them Not too familiar.
The tall and thin girl smiled and said, "I heard that the dormitory here is mixed with men and women. Everyone must live in this dormitory building."
Liu Xiaojie's face was a little red, not sure if it was because of shyness or because it was too hot, so he took off the myopia goggles from the bridge of his nose again.
But this time, instead of pulling up the clothes and wiping it, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and wiped the lenses clean.
He looked at the tall and thin girl and replied, "Actually, it's not bad, everyone can take care of each other."
The chunky girl glanced around and suddenly said: "Hey, that store is still open, I want to go buy something, Brother Ye, go with me."
Several of them, although they all received the same language training, but up to now, Wang Ye's Russian level is the highest.
Strange to say, when Wang Ye was in high school, his English grades were very poor, and he couldn't learn it no matter what.
But when he learned Russian, he seemed to be enlightened, as soon as the teacher taught him!
After just a few months of training, Liu Xiaojie and the others also learned the most basic things, such as the Russian alphabet, simple grammar and dialogue.
Ke Wangye, can already have a daily conversation with the trainer.
Of course, this refers to the royal career before the "rebirth", as for now...
He has been studying and working in Moscow for nearly eight years!
After returning to China, I was also engaged in trade work with Russia. I dare not say that the Russian level can reach the height of simultaneous translation, but whether it is vocabulary or pronunciation standard, it can be said that it is almost the same as that of ordinary Russians.
As for this chubby girl, don't mention her level of Russian, otherwise she wouldn't be able to buy something and wouldn't dare to go by herself.
Wang Ye nodded, it just so happened that he was also a little thirsty and wanted to buy a bottle of water.
Liu Xiaojie looked at it and said quickly, "Wang Dan, let's go together and buy something to eat and drink."
He said this to the tall and thin girl, and Wang Ye also learned that the tall and thin girl was called "Wang Dan".
The tall and thin girl nodded slightly, ignoring Liu Xiaojie, but turned her head and said to the chubby girl: "Xiaoyun, what do you want to buy? You don't need to buy anything to eat. I still have several buckets of instant noodles in my suitcase. You can eat when you are hungry."
The chubby girl shook her head and smiled and said, "Then I have to buy it too. Do I have to eat instant noodles if there is no hot water? Go and see if there is any cake or something, just buy some to eat."
Before they could decide what to buy, a short, lean Chinese boy walked straight to Wangye and the others.
greeted with a smile from afar: "Welcome! Teacher Wu asked me just now, and I only knew that you were here. By the way, my name is Zhou Yuan. I came a few months earlier than you, and I also did it through this intermediary."
Although I don't know this boy, Wang Ye and the others have heard the name "Zhou Yuan".
Because the teacher Wu who led the team had explained to them long ago, this Zhou Yuan was the "squad leader" of their group and came earlier.
So after getting here, you can ask Zhou Yuan for help with anything.
In a foreign country, when you see people from the same country, you are considered "compatriots", and you are naturally close.
Not to mention that Zhou Yuan and they are still from the same province, and they studied abroad through the same intermediary and in the same year. This is a veritable self.
Several people and Zhou Yuan got to know each other, and Wang Ye also took the opportunity to remember the names of other classmates.
The name of the tall and thin girl was known just now, it was Wang Dan.
The short and fat girl is called Li Xiaoyun.
There were four other students, all of them boys. The last batch of Wang Ye and the others were eight students in total.
After a few chats, Li Xiaoyun once again mentioned the matter of going to the small store to buy things.
Zhou Yuan immediately patted his chest and said that he would take a few people with him.
He has been in Moscow for half a year, and he needs a little Russian to buy things, so he doesn’t have it in his hands!
Several other boys heard their conversation and rushed over and said they wanted to go together.
So, everyone piled their luggage in a corner against the wall, and under the leadership of Zhou Yuan, they walked into the small shop mightily.
It's getting late, and there's no one in the store.
There was only one Fat Aunty salesperson sitting lazily behind the cashier.
Wang Ye glanced at it, this small store is not a common supermarket in China, but a very traditional old store.
That is, everything is in the glass counter, what you want to buy, you need to tell the salesperson and let her get it for you.
"Look at it first, think about what you want to buy in advance, and then tell me one by one, I'll help you buy it. By the way, you don't have rubles on you, this store can't directly use US dollars. In this way, I will lend you two per person. One hundred rubles, it should be enough to buy things. I will take you to exchange some rubles tomorrow, and then pay me back." Zhou Yuan said, took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, and began to distribute money to everyone.
He is indeed very enthusiastic, otherwise, he would not have been elected as the monitor...
Wang Ye and the others just came from China, and all the money they brought with them was US dollars, because on the Russian side, although the local currency is rubles, the real "hard currency" is US dollars...
They pay tuition fees, buy insurance, etc. The notices issued by the school are all in US dollars.
Of course, you still need to give rubles when you actually buy something or pay bills.
However, in Moscow, it is very convenient to exchange US dollars for rubles, and there are exchange points all over the streets.
This kind of exchange point is very eye-catching. There is only a small exchange window, and a large electronic sign is hung on it, showing the exchange rate of US dollars to rubles.
You go directly to the US dollar and you can get the corresponding ruble according to the exchange rate of the day.
No formalities or documents are required.
At the beginning of 2001, one dollar was worth about twenty-five rubles.
Many people may not think that just ten years ago, the exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar was almost one to one.
After the so-called "shock therapy", the ruble began to depreciate significantly, and the savings of many years in the hands of the common people almost vanished...
Wang Ye and the others had told them before they came over that they should bring US dollars.
The school's notification letter, marked tuition fees, accommodation fees, etc., are also written in US dollars.
…
The saleswoman aunt works here, and she should have seen too many international students, so when Wang Ye and the others came in, they continued to sit there without looking up, reading a book in her hand.
I have to say that the habit of reading books is very common in Russia.
In the crowds lining up on the bus, subway, and outside the museum, you can see many people holding a book and reading.
It is said that the penetration rate of university graduates in Russia is as high as 90%, and the education level of the common people is quite high. In this regard, it is far ahead of many countries.
The things sold in this small shop are relatively simple, mostly bread, milk, drinks, snacks and the like.
"The Helie here is not as delicious, but remember to buy white bread, never black bread, that stuff is sour and hard, we are not used to it!" Zhou Yuan introduced to everyone.
In China, the bread on the Russian side is called "Da Lieba", especially the big Lieba on the Harbin side, which is actually different from the Russian side, which has been improved by localization.
