It seemed like Liu Mei had not expected Wang Ye to smoke. She was slightly taken aback before shaking her head with a smile. "I prefer milder cigarettes," she said.
The two of them each lit up a cigarette and started puffing away.
When half of her cigarette was gone, Liu Mei began talking again.
"I've been pondering about starting a tourism business in Russia. Actually, I've been preparing for this for over a year. Sending Ya Qi to study there was part of the preparation. I wanted to hear your thoughts and see if you have any advice for me."
Only then did Wang Ye realize why she had chosen to send Nalan Yaqi to Moscow when she could have afforded to send her to places like Australia and New Zealand.
So, Liu Mei wants to break into the Russian tourism business.
It seems like many families that send their children abroad have complicated reasons for doing so.
Maybe it's a step towards future immigration, or maybe it's for the sake of their family businesses...
