Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 43 - You Are Comfortable_1
Chapter 43: Chapter 43 You Are Comfortable_1
Chapter 43 -43 You Are Comfortable_1
Based on Zhang Ke’s recent observations,
among the newly arrived students, he most disliked Wang Ye!
But the conditions at Wang Dan’s home appeared to be the best.
Because he saw that Wang Dan was the only one among the new students who brought a laptop with her.
And it was an IBM THINKPAD T20!
Don’t let the inconspicuous black exterior of this laptop fool you; it’s pricey. One costs over thirty thousand!
That’s thirty thousand in 2001. If they can afford such a laptop, their family must not be doing too badly.
These days, he’s been trying to ingratiate himself with Wang Dan. This young girl is rather naive and it didn’t take Zhang Ke long to figure out her family situation.
It turns out Wang Dan’s father is a real power wielder in a certain city!
Such a family, while it may not be enormously wealthy (or perhaps they just don’t flaunt their wealth), if he can forge ties with them, he could cut decades from his struggle to get ahead.
Zhang Ke isn’t that much older than Wang Ye; he’s only one or two years older and in his early twenties this year.
But he entered society earlier, and thus understands many things better than naive students do.
In addition, after pursuing Nalan Yaqi for half a year without making any headway, he is somewhat despondent.
Now, however, a “new target” has presented itself!
And if he could win over this new target, it would certainly enhance his future prospects far more than Nalan Yaqi could.
Nalan Yaqi’s family runs a business, her mother owns a small company, they don’t have an exceptional amount of money and they have no political power to speak of.
The only thing going for her is that she is attractive.
From a future development perspective, Wang Dan is obviously better!
Thus, he began to focus on Wang Dan.
Zhang Ke knew girls like Wang Dan, 17 or 18-year-olds fresh out of high school, completely lacked life experience.
As long as he put in enough effort and persistently pursued her, he should be able to win her over.
And so, over the last few days, he took every opportunity to get close to Wang Dan.
After all, he arrived half a year earlier than Wang Dan, so his Russian is slightly better than hers.
Whenever Wang Dan and the others went to the supermarket, Zhang Ke would gallantly offer to help them carry their things.
If Wang Dan and Li Xiaoyun wanted to go sightseeing at places like Red Square, Zhang Ke would offer to be their guide!
In short, he wanted Wang Dan to feel his passion and sincerity!
It seemed heaven didn’t disappoint the persistent. After his persistence, Wang Dan finally agreed to invite him for a meal.
Obviously, this was a huge leap forward in their relationship!
………
As he was daydreaming, Zhang Ke heard the partially open door being pushed, and someone entered.
He quickly put down the newspaper in his hands and stood up.
He grinned and said, “Are you ready? I…”
His words trailed off when he realized the person who had entered was not Wang Dan or Li Xiaoyun, but the person he despised the most…
Wang Ye!
Wang Ye walked in cheerfully, holding two plates of food.
He walked straight to the dining table, put down the food in his hands, turned and looked at Zhang Ke next to him, and said, “What are you daydreaming about! Hurry up and clear the table; get the chairs moved over. Are you waiting for someone to feed you?”
Zhang Ke was usually confident when facing others and acted like a seasoned hand.
But when facing Wang Ye, he felt intimidated and couldn’t maintain his usual arrogant demeanor…
Hearing Wang Ye’s words, he asked timidly, “What…what are you doing here?”
Wang Ye shrugged helplessly and replied, “Of course I’m here for dinner. What did you think?”
……
Never mind Zhang Ke’s unsightly faces, when mealtime came, the two girls took turns serving food to Wang Ye.
“Brother Ye, try this, stir-fried chicken!”
“This is delicious – it’s my specialty, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
As for Zhang Ke on the side, he was like a stranger. The three of them didn’t even bother to glance in his direction.
If it were anyone else but Wang Ye, Zhang Ke would undoubtedly have lost his temper!
But he was so impressed by the lesson he had learned the previous night that he still hadn’t forgotten.
Every time he thought of it, he could still feel a burning sensation on his face.
Song Xiaogang’s slap had left a lasting impression!
Since he dared not lose his temper, he could only bear with it. That meal left him seething with anger.
By the time the meal was nearly over, he couldn’t stand it any longer. He got up and said with a forced smile, “Aye, the food today was too delicious, I’m stuffed. You… keep eating. I’ve got to go. I made arrangements to meet someone.”
All Wang Dan and Li Xiaoyun did was wave, they didn’t try to stop him from leaving.
………
After Zhang Ke left, Wang Dan quickly closed the dormitory door.
She returned, let out a sigh of relief and laughed, “Oh my, I’m so glad he finally left. Thank heaven you were here today, Brother Ye. Otherwise, it would have been really awkward!”
Li Xiaoyun added, “That’s much better! He’s helped us out, so we’ve returned the favor by inviting him for a meal. We’re square now. Let’s try to avoid this guy in the future. He’s not our type!”
Indeed, Zhang Ke was not a sight for sore eyes.
The thin and short guy, with a head of long hair, had an obnoxious way of talking. People in his hometown would consider him a “loafer”.
Adding to this the animosity between him, Wang Ye and Song Xiaogang, it was well known to everyone.
If a comparison had to be made, it was quite clear that Wang Ye was more popular.
Wang Ye also put down his chopsticks and laughed. “You guys are feeling much better. But what about me? I ended up like a gooseberry.”

He was aware that after tonight’s dinner, Zhang Ke would definitely hold an even bigger grudge against him.
But what of it?
It’s just that for now, Wang Ye had just arrived to Moscow, so it hadn’t been long.
After a while, the gap between them might become significant, and Zhang Ke wouldn’t even be in the position to hold a grudge again Wang Ye!
Have you ever heard of an ant hating an elephant?
After a thought, Wang Ye decided to gently warn Wang Dan.
He had the memory of his “past life”.
In his past life, it was rumored that Zhang Ke had successfully pursued Wang Dan, followed by a series of not-so-happy events.
Among their group of old classmates, everyone privately thought Wang Dan was too naive to settle for a loser like that.
But what happened had already happened. What could be said?
But now, many things were different than they were in his past life because of Wang Ye’s “intervention”.
Perhaps, Wang Dan might avoid the tragic fate she’d experienced in the “past”…
………
Wang Ye had no idea that after Zhang Ke got back to his dorm, he was cursing up a storm.
“What a damn awful day! That little prick Wang Ye ruined everything for me! How could he be so oblivious? Doesn’t he know I’m trying to win over a girl and he butts in wanting a free meal? Would skipping one meal kill him!? I want to kill him!”
The two guys in the same dormitory looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
But of course, Zhang Ke only dared to talk tough in his own room…
