Chapter 8: If you are going to hit someone, aim for the face
This is Moscow, where it is natural to speak Russian everywhere. Moreover, not many people here learn English, including university students; there are very few who can speak English.
The elderly lady with gray-white hair leaned in to take a look and, with a stern expression, asked: "What are you doing!"
Slapping someone is not a serious injury, but it is highly insulting
In terms of physique, the three of them combined are not enough to match Wang Ye and Song Xiaogang in a fight
Therefore, it is best not to consider it any further and to make a quick exit instead
If she closes her eyes, it is because a student from Russia is speaking to her
Thus, after listening, the elderly lady felt somewhat surprised and looked at Wang Ye in astonishment
This is a "comrade," someone from our own ranks
But none of this is important
In a foreign land, language proficiency can be considered the most important skill
After the three people slipped away, the little black one hiding outside the door also returned. He glanced at Song Xiaogang and babbled a few words, but both Wang Ye and Song Xiaogang could not understand what language he was speaking
Your Russian is quite good. Did you study it before? With your level, you should be taking the preparatory graduation exam directly at m.hetushu.com. " Her expression softened as she curiously asked.
Saying this, he grabbed the neck of the short boy with long hair and pushed him in front of Song Xiaogang
To understand the conversation between Wang Ye and the old lady, it will take at least another one or two years of study
To be honest, this level has already surpassed the Russian language proficiency that Wang Ye and the other preparatory students should possess
"Alright, it's late at night, so let's not make a fuss. What are you all still standing here for? Do you need me to see you off as well?" Wang Ye said with a smile, looking at the three of them.
At this moment, the administrator had already arrived at the door
At this point, Song Xiaogang no longer hesitated. Gritting his teeth, he reached out and gave the short male student two slaps across the face.
Therefore, students who are proficient in Russian are generally more popular, as there are times when one may wish to accomplish something but lacks the necessary language skills, thus relying on these proficient Russian-speaking classmates for assistance
Upon hearing the boy at the door "leak information," Wang Ye hesitated for a moment and decisively said: "Come, give him two slaps, and this matter will be settled. As for you all, don't say a word; I will handle the administrator."
The three boys, tall and short, hurriedly walked outside; how could they dare to cause any more trouble
... ...
However, when they looked at Wang Ye, they felt a bit of admiration.
The long-haired shorty was about to jump up on the spot, but was held down by Wang Ye's hand on his shoulder
... ...
A new group of international students is arriving tonight, and she certainly knows, as she is the one who handled the check-in procedures.
Wang Ye smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Song Xiaogang and said: "Go wash your face in the restroom; your face is a bit swollen. Apply a warm towel to it. I will go downstairs for a moment"
After having a pleasant chat with the elderly lady, she turned her waist and walked towards the door, reminding Wang Ye and the others to go to bed early and not to disturb the rest of the other students.
Additionally, each floor has a small administrator responsible for floor management, including cleanliness, changing bed linens and bed covers, and other related tasks
The administrator they refer to is naturally the management of the dormitory building
This is much more difficult than English. This group of students has previously only studied English, and at most they have only learned Russian for half a year, so their proficiency is certainly not very high
The face of the short person with long hair visibly turned red
Wang Ye naturally nodded in agreement, escorted the elderly lady to the door, and waved goodbye
No one else spoke up, as Wang Ye had already mentioned earlier that everyone should remain silent and that he would handle the situation.
Just like now, if it weren't for Wang Ye's excellent Russian, he would have dismissed the old lady with just a few words
This matter could potentially lead to serious consequences. If the elderly lady finds out that several individuals were involved in a fight, it is highly likely that, as Wang Ye just mentioned, they could face disciplinary action from the school, or even expulsion and deportation
These sentences are naturally expressed in Russian
What did Wang Ye and the old lady say? They couldn't understand each other
In this dormitory building, each structure has a chief administrator responsible for all affairs of the entire building
In fact, Song Xiaogang did not exert himself too much; otherwise, this fellow's face would not have turned red, but rather blue!
Wang Ye approached calmly, taking two steps forward to stand in front of the elderly lady, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am a new student who just arrived tonight. These are all my friends who came to welcome me when they heard I was here. We were having a pleasant chat about books, so we lost track of time. I apologize for that; we will be going to bed soon."
However, she did not expect that the newly arrived international student in front of her had such a high level of Russian, with particularly accurate word choice and pronunciation
However, Wang Ye's words immediately increased the old lady's fondness for him significantly
After the sound of the old lady's footsteps disappeared around the corner of the hallway, Wang Ye turned back into the room, where Song Xiaogang and the three boys were still standing there, not daring to move.
The chief administrator of Building 6 is an elderly lady who appears quite kind-hearted, but she is not very easy to talk to and tends to be rather strict
Whether in daily life, during classes at school, or in part-time jobs during leisure time, the use of the Russian language is essential
The two of them are happily conversing here, while several people nearby are left dumbfounded
However, judging by his demeanor, it seems he is indicating that Song Xiaogang has sustained an injury to his face
Of course, she speaks Russian, but it's quite simple, and everyone can understand it; as for Wang Ye, that's even less of a concern.
Then Xiao Hei looked at Wang Ye, gave a thumbs up, and said nothing
The facts are certainly not as he stated; his grandfather did not study in Moscow, and Wang Ye has never learned Russian since childhood
After all, Russian is also one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world, with a level of complexity that nearly rivals that of Chinese
She smiled and said kindly, "It is indeed a beautiful story that both you and your grandfather have come to study in Russia. It seems that your family has a special connection with Russia. Welcome to Moscow, and I hope you enjoy your studies here and successfully graduate to return and contribute to your homeland. China is also a great country, just like Russia..."
Moreover, they discovered that Wang Ye's proficiency in Russian is indeed very high. If any issues arise, Wang Ye would be able to communicate freely with the school authorities, while the few of them would not even know how to articulate their defense.
Hehe, yes, I studied Russian for many years before. My grandfather also studied in Moscow at the Aerospace University, and he taught me Russian since I was little, " Wang Ye said calmly and without a change in expression.
Having finished speaking, he picked up his wallet and walked downstairs in his slippers.
If your language skills are inadequate, it becomes difficult to communicate with others about any matter
Including the payment of accommodation fees, the transfer of dormitories, and the handling of all matters occurring within the dormitory, the authority is quite significant
