Chapter 67 -67 High-end Residential_1

After convincing Angelina, she not only agreed to come work at his own company but also agreed to live together with him!

With that, Wang Ye sprung into action.

Now that his career had just gotten started and his wallet was not quite fat yet, he obviously couldn’t afford to buy a house, so he had to start by renting one.

For this, he called upon Liu Jun, who knew his way around Moscow like the back of his hand.

“What? You’re going to rent a place? The dorms are perfectly fine, why do you want to move out?” Liu Jun was quite surprised upon hearing that Wang Ye was going to rent a house.

“I’ve just hired a Russian girl to work in my company. She’s currently teaching Russian at Friendship University and lives in the university dorms. But after she joins my company, she’ll need a place to stay, so she has to rent a place. Coincidentally, I also want to move out. The dorms are too crowded and chaotic, it’s inconvenient,” Wang Ye said with a smile.

With that, Liu Jun understood. He joked, “Manager Wang, you’re something! You’ve only been in Moscow for two months and not only have you started a company, you’ve also hooked a girlfriend.”

Modestly, Wang Ye replied, “Not yet, she hasn’t agreed to be my girlfriend. That’s why I’m looking for a place with two bedrooms. Can you help me with this? Somewhere near Alpha Hotel would be convenient.”

What he was thinking was, if he lived near the Alpha Hotel, it would be closer to his future company.

But Liu Jun shook his head religion. “No, don’t live there. The area around the Alpha Hotel is near a large market and the area is rather chaotic. Also, there aren’t really any good new communities there. The best choice would actually be to rent a place near your university. That’s a wealthy area and the security there is very good!”

Upon hearing Liu Jun’s rationale, Wang Ye remembered that the security in Moscow was not exactly great…

Indeed, if he had to choose between convenience and safety, he would definitely go with safety!

If he was going to rent a place near the university, then he wouldn’t need Liu Jun’s help. He already had a target in mind.

…….

On Tuesday morning, while the other students were off to class, Wang Ye once again didn’t go.

After getting up, freshening up and eating breakfast, he donned his coat, picked up his phone and wallet, and left.

Crossing through the little forest in the resident area from the dorms and following the lake, he arrived at the residential district on the opposite side.

This was the area he had discussed with Angelina before!

The residential areas here were different from those back in China, as they were much smaller in scale but had much more green space…

Two high-rise apartment buildings, about thirty stories high, were hidden away in a small forest, there were no gates and a straight, wide tree-lined avenue connected directly to the main road.

Wang Ye took the trail by the lake and could go directly to the apartment building.

In front of the building was a neat grassland and a small square, but during this time of year, you couldn’t see the grass; it was all snow…

The little square was quite clean, not a trace of snow.

Standing in the small square, Wang Ye looked up. The building was quite tall.

The exterior of the building had a milky white stone finish. Although it was a modern construction, it still retained some of the style of European-style architecture.

But compared to older buildings, the large glass windows gave it a modern feel.

The security at the entrance of the building was pretty tight, several big guys dressed in uniforms were patrolling, non-owners and residents were not allowed in.

Seeing Wang Ye approached, a person is alerted and looked over.

This didn’t faze Wang Ye; before the security guard could approach, he took the initiative. He stopped him and asked cheerfully, “Hello, I’m thinking of renting a place here, where should I go to inquire?”

Saying that, he took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one.

At this, the guard’s stern expression softened. Receiving the cigarette, he said, “You’re… Chinese? Your Russian is quite good.”

“Yes, I am. My name is Mikhail, I’m a student at Friendship University,” Wang Ye introduced himself.

Upon hearing that he was a student at Friendship University, the guard’s attitude changed and a smile appeared on his face.

“Hello, my name is Yuri. If you wish to rent a place, you can ask at the management office. The apartments here can not only be sold but also rented out. To my knowledge, there are still many floors empty because the prices are simply too high. Over two thousand US dollars per square meter, only a fool would buy that.” Saying that, Yuri shrugged, expressing his disapproval of the price.

Indeed, Yuri’s security guard salary probably wouldn’t be that high, maybe three to four hundred US dollars a month at most.

The housing prices here were too far out of his reach!

“Thank you. In a few days, I’ll be a resident here. I’ll get you a drink then,” Wang Ye said.

Following Yuri the security guard’s instructions, he entered the main gate, arrived at the management office on the side of the lobby.

The management office door was open, and inside, behind a desk, an old woman wearing glasses was looking at something.

Russia had a high population of older citizens. On the streets, in the metro or bus, and many other places, the proportion of old people was quite a bit higher than young people.

Jobs of the kind at the apartment management office, which in China are usually done by young or middle-aged people, were largely done by old people in Russia.

Wang Ye knocked and entered, stating his inquiry.

The apartments were just as the security guard had described. Maybe due to the high price, sales were not going particularly well, and the developers had decided to furnish a whole block of apartments for rent.

There were still many vacant flats, so he smoothly rented a two-bedroom place with a little over a hundred square meters of area.

Appliances and furniture were fully provided; all he had to do was move in!

The rent, as expected, was not cheap—$1,600 a month!

The old woman graciously took Wang Ye to view the apartment.

Wang Ye’s chosen apartment was on the 27th floor. From the living room window, he could see the little lake between the residential district and Friendship University, as well as the whole university campus.

The view was quite good, there were trees and a lake…

The interior of the apartment wasn’t overly luxurious and had a minimalist style. It looked bright and clean, quite comfortable to live in.

He also checked out the bedrooms; one was slightly larger while the other one was smaller. The larger bedroom came with a bathroom and a small walk-in closet, with a total of over thirty square meters of space.

The smaller bedroom felt a little shabbier, with only a dozen square meters of space, with no attached bathroom.

After a look around, Wang Ye seemed to be satisfied, so he returned to the management office with the old woman to sign the lease contract.

Instead of a security deposit, the contract required prepaid monthly rent, to be paid at the end of each month for the next month’s rent at the management office.

This was nice because if it were like in China requiring three months’ security deposit plus one month’s rent in advance, Wang Ye might not have had enough money…

…….

After signing the contract, paying the money, and receiving the keys, he could now move in anytime.

He hadn’t told Angelina about this yet.

He planned to surprise her…

After all, these homes were what Angelina aspired to have.

The only regret was that he was renting and had not bought the place.

However, Wang Ye believed that it wouldn’t take long before he had the money to buy a place here.

He didn’t aim to make money from flipping houses—after all, Moscow’s real estate wasn’t suitable for that. He wanted to buy a house only to make Angelina’s dream come true…
