Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Understanding the Rules_1 Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Understanding the Rules_1 Zhou Yuan immediately became anxious, wanting to argue back, saying that the temporary visa was also issued by the police station near the school.

These students had just arrived in Moscow and were still going through various procedures. It was impossible for them to get a formal visa on arrival so quickly. How could they say the temporary visa was invalid!

But he couldn’t express these words in Russian, it was too complex…

So, sweating profusely from anxiety, he could only keep saying, “They are students who just arrived in Moscow and they haven’t gotten their visas yet.”

Obviously, these words were not persuasive, or perhaps the grey dog himself knew full well what was going on, he was just looking for an excuse to give them trouble.

As a result, the grey dog did not return the passports he held in his hand to Wang Ye and the others. Instead, he waved his hand and said, “You guys, come with me.”

Having said that, he turned and walked towards a van flashing police lights.

This made it clear that he intended to take Wang Ye and the others to the police station…

Zhou Yuan instantly panicked. He had never been in such a situation before and did not know what to do.

He said in a panic, “You guys… I… I will contact… that’s right, has the teacher who brought you here left? Does anyone know his phone number?”

In such a situation, Zhou Yuan didn’t even know who to contact.

What, you’re saying contact the embassy?

Don’t joke around. This was in 2001 and all the Chinese people abroad knew…

The right thing to do would be to contact the school’s Foreign Affairs Office and let the school communicate with the police.

Under normal circumstances, the police would give face to the school. After all, they were university students and would receive some preferential treatment.

Also, if this kind of thing really blew up, then it was sure to be the police that would be in trouble. It would not be a good look…

The reason they were making things difficult for Wang Ye and the others now was that they had just arrived in Moscow and had a language barrier!

After all, in order to contact the school, you would need adequate language skills to explain the situation clearly.

……

The girls, Xiao Yun and Wang Dan, felt even more frightened, and their eyes welled up with tears.

Being a stranger in a foreign land and being locked in a police station, they didn’t even dare to think about it.

Even the boys, including Liu Xiaojie, turned pale. After all, they were all students and had never experienced such a thing before.

The only one who managed to keep his composure was Wang Ye.

He sighed. In his past life, he had lived and studied in Moscow for a few years, where he had encountered similar situations many times. He didn’t expect to experience it again this time.

As for how to resolve the matter, Wang Ye had a lot of experience…

Seeing everyone in a panic, he waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. This is easy to solve.”

Everyone immediately turned to look at him. Zhou Yuan asked in doubt, “Don’t joke around Wang Ye, this is really serious!”

He, of course, didn’t believe Wang Ye’s words. He had been here for half a year and still didn’t know how to handle such a situation.

Wang Ye had only been here a few days, how could he possibly know how to handle this kind of situation!

Wang Ye calmly said, “I’ll go talk to him. It might cost a little. There are eight of us, so it will probably cost us two thousand rubles. Are you all okay with that?”

Based on his experience, and his Russian language skills, Wang Ye estimated that two thousand rubles should be enough to smooth things over.

If they really got in the police car and were taken to the station, and then waited for the police to contact the school, and the school to come out to guarantee them, it might not cost any money, but being locked up for half a day or even overnight was not worth it…

So, the simplest solution in such a situation was to use money to smooth things over!

Although it felt terrible to be “extorted” in this way, there was no other choice. They were in someone else’s territory!

Unless you are stronger and have greater status than them, you just have to swallow your pride and accept reality.

When they heard that it would only cost two hundred and fifty rubles per person to avoid getting into the police car and being taken to the station, everyone nodded in agreement.

The money wasn’t a lot, only about ten US dollars, which was a bit heartbreaking, but compared to being taken by the police and put in a cage, it really wasn’t much.

Seeing everyone’s agreement, Wang Ye quickly caught up with the leading grey dog and solemnly said,
“Comrade, I don’t think taking us students to the station is the right choice.

According to visa law, temporary visas issued by police stations affiliated with regular state universities also have legal effect.

If you don’t acknowledge this temporary visa, then I will immediately contact the number on the temporary visa, so that your colleagues can communicate with you.

In addition, I will also contact staff from the school’s Foreign Affairs Office to communicate with your superiors.

Oh, by the way, which police station do you belong to? Could you show me your work ID?

Oh, and, when you were walking ahead, it looked like something fell out of your pocket. Here, this…”

Saying this, Wang Ye handed something over, only a bit of its white corner revealed.

The grey dog was taken aback, stopped, and looked at Wang Ye, his face not looking very good.

He, of course, understood what Wang Ye was saying, he just didn’t expect this Chinese student to be so savvy…

But of course, what good did knowing these things do!

If he really wanted to cause trouble, he could find many excuses, such as suspecting that these temporary visas were fake…

They could still be taken to the station and detained for a long time and then slowly contact and verify.

It was nothing more than a bit more trouble for him, and he wouldn’t get any benefits.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw the grey and white corner of the thing Wang Ye was holding out. He knew what it was!

Again, he paused, a smile appeared on his face. Without hesitation, he reached out to take it and said, “Oh? That must be mine.”

He took it, quickly glanced down, and saw four white and brown notes with Peter the Great smiling at him!

Five hundred ruble banknotes!

Four of them made two thousand rubles, this “price” was quite reasonable, not too much, but not too little either.

He nodded, looked at Wang Ye appreciatively. This Chinese student was impressive, not only did he speak good Russian, but he also knew how things worked!

He removed the passports of Wang Ye and the others from his pocket, and said solemnly, “With a temporary visa, you’d better not wander around, especially around the big market, it’s very chaotic here. Alright, you can leave now. Here’s a card. If you meet my colleagues, just show them the card and they’ll understand, but it’s only valid for today!”

With that, he took out a white card from his pocket. It had a simple blue stamp on it, probably their police station’s.

After signing his name and writing the date, he handed it to Wang Ye.

This could be considered a “pass” bought with two thousand rubles, after all, they had their “professional ethics”…
