Chapter 1316: 1315 this friend is very good

Hang Wei was beyond embarrassed, he swiftly used a cough to explain his discomfort, “Cough cough, the scanning pen, right? I’ve put it in my company’s office. If you want to see it, I can have my assistant bring it over now.”

Mr. Lin didn’t find it bothersome at all and said cheerfully, “Then I’ll have to trouble Mr. Hang Wei.”

Hang Wei internally complained, “You really don’t consider yourself an outsider, fully knowing how troublesome it is, yet you insist on seeing the scanning pen. What’s so interesting about it anyway?”

Tan Rou could tell from Hang Wei’s expression that he must be criticizing Mr. Lin in his mind. Not only did Hang Wei feel like complaining, but Tan Rou also really wanted to criticize Mr. Lin’s behavior.

She casually mentioned that she had distributed a scanning pen to each employee for them to keep as a souvenir. This caught Mr. Lin’s attention, and his curiosity suddenly soared, as he insisted on seeing what this legendary first pen looked like.

Tan Rou said that all the scanning pens were the same, except that the ones from that year were a bit rougher in appearance and not as good-looking as the current ones; Mr. Lin only needed to see the new product.

Mr. Lin and his friend Prince Laka were just as stubborn; no matter what Tan Rou said, he was set on seeing that keepsake.

As for the friend she had just made, she couldn’t be too harsh, so she could only pass this trouble onto Hang Wei. Then she caught Hang Wei zoning out.

However, seeing the way he defended the scanning pen, Tan Rou was quite reassured. Many people had left, but Hang Wei had always remained at his post and had managed the company well; if it weren’t for him, TR Company probably would have ceased to exist by now.

Tan Rou felt lucky to have a friend like Hang Wei.

Hang Wei ordered someone to fetch the scanning pen, and Tan Rou continued to tour the mall with the group. At each exhibition hall, Tan Rou gave introductions in the language of Country J to Prince Laka—she had no choice, as she was the only one among them who spoke the language of Country J.

Mr. Lin could speak the language of Country J also, but he didn’t know how to describe the products.

Prince Laka was interested in all of the products; he looked at robots one moment and massage devices the next. At every exhibit, he would express his amazement and then ask Tan Rou if it was possible to buy them and bring them back.

Here, only a very small portion of the products were available for sale abroad, but none of them were suitable for the electrical current and voltage of Country J; Tan Rou had never even considered opening up the market in Country J before meeting Prince Laka and Mr. Lin.

Her original plan was to venture into countries with good scientific and technological development, because such countries would have infrastructure that complemented their products. As for Country J, it wasn’t a good place to deploy their products.

When they got tired from walking, Tan Rou arranged for lunch to be prepared, planning for them to come back and continue after eating. But Prince Laka disagreed, insisting on eating right in the exhibition hall, as he didn’t want to part from the exhibits for a moment.

Tan Rou misspoke; she shouldn’t have said that the robot was Prince Laka’s beloved; she should have said that every single exhibit in the entire mall was Prince Laka’s beloved, because he liked each and every one of them.

Having no choice, Tan Rou had some food packed and brought to the mall for them to eat there.

“Mr. Lin, how did you get to know Prince Laka?” During the meal, Tan Rou chatted with Mr. Lin.

“Actually, Prince Laka and I were classmates,” Mr. Lin said, a smile he couldn’t suppress on his face, “It’s hard to imagine, right? Prince Laka can’t speak a word of a foreign language, yet he went abroad to study.”

Tan Rou was indeed surprised; if you go abroad for studies, the first thing is to learn the language of that country. Otherwise, you can’t even manage basic communication, let alone live there.

“Prince Laka might have a bit of a learning disability when it comes to languages,” Mr. Lin explained, “No matter how much he tries, he just can’t learn a foreign language. Even his own country’s language took him a very long time to learn.”

Tan Rou was quick to respond, “So Prince Laka hired you as his translator?”

Mr. Lin replied, “It was Prince Laka’s father who hired me as a translator. I was taking part in a school debate competition when I unintentionally showed my ability to speak many languages, and then I was taken away for that.”
