Chapter 612: Fang Mingyuan's Russian rival

The Vraglow estate outside Moscow, which was once the estate of the Russian nobility during the Tsarist period, was the villa of the senior officials of the Soviet government during the Soviet rule, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was bought by Aso Kazuki as her main place of stay in Russia and a place for her to meet Russian guests. Of course, it is also an important place for Aso Kazuki to win over those experts from the former Soviet Union for Fang Mingyuan. There will be some banquets and balls held here every now and then to entertain people from all walks of life in Russia, and because of the huge assets in charge of Aso Kazuki and the beauty of herself, her influence in the high-level circles of Moscow is also quite some.

"This manor is so big," Lin Rong said softly. The convoy had been driving for about ten minutes, but it had not yet reached the main entrance of the manor. Looking out from the car, you can see dense woods, flat meadows, and a small river five or six meters wide flowing through the estate.

"Of course it's big, this manor used to be the property of a duke in Tsarist Russia, after the establishment of the Soviet Union, it was able to have officials here, at least at the deputy ministerial level, and Russia is a manor with a small number of landowners and a larger area, which is not uncommon near Moscow. If you have a chance, I'll take you to see the villas owned by the Politburo Standing Committee members in the former Soviet Union, hehe, that's the Tsar's Palace, it's even bigger and more magnificent than here," Aso said with a smile.

The car went forward for another five or six minutes, and then saw the gate of the manor, and drove in along the driveway, in a two-storey building typical of the Baroque style, the wall surface of which was made of white sè and green sè. In front of the building, there is a fountain with nine spray columns, the highest one is more than ten meters high, which is very conspicuous. Around the fountain, there are more than a dozen sculptures.

As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged Russian man ran down from the door of the building quickly, Fang Mingyuan recognized him, he was the housekeeper here of Aso Kazuki, his name was very long, and it was said that he was also a descendant of a nobleman from the Tsarist Russian period, what is his name Mikharovich.

Mikharovich opened the car door in front of the driver, Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue got out of the car, Mikharovich greeted Fang Mingyuan first, Fang Mingyuan was not the first time to come, although he said that he didn't know, what the relationship between Fang Mingyuan and Aso Xiangyue was like, but he knew that this was the most important VIP for the hostess, whenever Fang Mingyuan was there, the one next to Aso Xiangyue's bedroom must belong to him. And when Fang Ming was far away, except for Uda Guangli, who was far away in the United States, and Ms. Lin, who came to Huaxia occasionally, no one would be entertained to stay in that room. So say hello to him first, Aso Kazuki won't be angry.

Mikharovich turned to Aso Kazuki again and said softly: "Master, Mr. Zakharov has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Zakharov? What did he come to do? I didn't invite him? Aso Kazuki said with a surprised expression.

"Miss Aso, you say that, but it makes me feel so sad" From the door of the building came a young Caucasian man, who looked like he was probably twenty-five or sixteen years old, about one meter eighty-five tall, with chestnut hair, even from the eyes of a Chinese person, he was quite spiritual, and he could be called a handsome young man.

Aso Kazuki's face is a little dark, this Zakharov is the son of the current deputy mayor of Moscow, his mother is a high-ranking official of the Russian railway system, and he himself is a teaching assistant at Moscow University, of course, because of his age and qualifications, I believe that it will not be long before he will become a new star in Moscow University. In this respect, Russia and China have the same side. And his family, in the Russian business community, is also a little famous, owning two famous Russian wineries and three hotels in Moscow, and the annual income is also quite considerable.

Ever since his father took him to a banquet at Aso's Kazuki half a year ago, this Zakharov has been deeply attached to Aso. Since then, he has never missed any opportunity to come to Aso Kazuki Manor as a guest. And his parents are also supportive of his idea.

Kazuki Aso is now one of the most important foreign investors in Russia, and the foreign capital she represents holds tens of billions of dollars in assets in Russia. And unlike many foreign investors, all of Aso's assets were openly and fairly purchased from the governments of the former Soviet Union and Russia, but she benefited greatly from the two devaluations of the ruble.

Therefore, many Russians have a very good impression of Aso Kazuki, believing that compared with those greedy Western vampires, Aso Kazuki is the real foreign investor who is beneficial to Russia's development.

In the eyes of Zakharov's parents, if their son can win the favor of Aso Kazuki, it will not only help the two strengthen their position in the Russian government, but also gain great benefits in business and property. And having such a daughter-in-law is also a guarantee for their family.

Zakharov, who got the secret help of his parents, naturally spared no effort to get closer to Aso Kazuki, trying to get Aso Kazuki's green eyes, of course, he thinks that he also has such capital to look good, to be talented, to have a family background, I don't know how many Russian girls are pursuing themselves.

Although Aso Kazuki has a lot of money in her hands, it is said that it is not her own funds, she is just an agent in Russia. In this way, she is also a senior manager - and of course, the slightest loosening of the senior manager's staff and the leakage of benefits are enough to make most Russians rob their heads.

Moreover, Zakharov noticed that although there were many Russian men in Russia who had the same idea as him, Aso Kazuki had never looked at any of them differently, and such a difficult challenge made him even more warlike - such a woman, if she could win her heart, was worth showing off to the world.

It's not that Aso Kazuki is unaware of his thoughts, but considering that his parents have a lot of influence in Russia, and he personally has a certain reputation in the circle of the second generation of Russian officials, and being friendly with them is conducive to his activities in Russia, so he didn't explicitly reject him, but just hoped that he would be able to retreat in the face of difficulties. In this way, it is best for everyone not to hurt the harmony.

But over time, this Zakharov's pursuit of her has become more and more obvious, and he has turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to some of her hints, which annoyed Aso Kazuki, so he invited him and his family less and less. But she didn't expect that this Zakharov actually collided with Fang Mingyuan at the gate of the manor on the first day he came to the manor.

"Mr. Zakharov, it's a misfortune that you're here, I have to receive an honored guest here, and I don't have time to receive you anymore." Aso Xiangyue glanced at Fang Mingyuan, and then said with a calm face.

In Russian communication, the usage of "you" and "you" is more complicated, very tightly proportionate, and in some cases, exactly the opposite of the Chinese usage. And because of the difference in age, xìng, position, identity, and social status, they are also used in completely different ways. As the relationship between the two parties changes, so does the title.

Generally speaking, between close people, addressing one's own family, acquaintances, friends, peers and children with "you" means affectionate, friendly and casual; And addressing elders and strangers with "you" is a sign of respect and politeness. If the other party changes the address from "you" to "you", it means that the relationship has progressed and reached a certain depth. Conversely, if the address between two people is changed from "you" to "you", it indicates that the two parties have a disagreement and the friendship has broken down.

Therefore, after two people who have just met for a while, if the other party changes their name to "you", then it means that they have become friends, and you don't have to be restrained and polite; If it is two familiar people, but use "you", if it is not the identity of the two parties is quite different, it generally represents the decline of the relationship.

Before this, between Aso Kazuki and Zakharov, it has always been referred to as "you", and this time, Aso Kazuki is really angry. She and Fang Mingyuan hadn't sat face to face for several months, and they had long been full of emotions, so naturally they wouldn't have a good attitude towards Zakharov, the light bulb who took the initiative to jump out and lead Fang Mingyuan to misunderstand.

Of course, Zakharov heard the change in Aso Kazuki's title, and his heart trembled, he didn't expect that his arrival would cause such a big reaction as Aso Kazuki.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fang Mingyuan, the distinguished guest that Aso Xiangyue said.

Aso Kazuki has been in Russia for so long, ordinary Russian conversation is no longer a problem for her. But Fang Mingyuan can be said to know nothing about Russian. So the two talked for a long time, but Fang Mingyuan didn't understand it at all. Lin Rong learned English in college, but when she came to Fang Mingyuan's side, she had learned some Japanese, but she also didn't understand Russian, so the two could only stare at each other.

When Zakharov saw Fang Mingyuan, his first feeling was that Fang Mingyuan was not very old, that is, twelve or thirteen years old, this is mainly because Russians generally look old, and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, in the eyes of Chinese people, how can she be fifteen or sixteen years old. On the other hand, the Russians judged that the age of the Chinese people was naturally too young.

Zakharov said in English with a Russian accent: "Hello, I'm Alexandra. Velistov. Zakharov, assistant professor at Moscow University"
