Chapter 1321: 1320 Zhuang Liu is jealous
Laka wasn’t just interested in purchasing 100 ma.s.sage chairs, but also in various other items, totaling 12 categories. This was a huge business deal, and Tan Rou wasn’t about to pa.s.s up the opportunity to make some good money. So, she spent this period busily working on the partners.h.i.+p, either taking Laka and Mr. Lin on tours of factories or introducing Laka to the local customs and traditions, treating him much like an esteemed guest.
The exhibitions at TR Mall hadn’t come to an end, but they had now been changed to once a day. On the days when the exhibit was closed, Tan Rou gave her staff a holiday to rest and recharge.
During this time, Tan Rou gave herself some time off as well. She decided to put off thinking about developing new products and let her mind rest for a while.
And although she had claimed to be on holiday, she wasn’t idle at all. In fact, she was spending every day accompanying a major client on tours of the Capital.
Originally, Mr. Lin served as Laka’s sole interpreter, but after Tan Rou joined them, Laka gained a second interpreter, which greatly relieved Mr. Lin. He even found time to visit his family. If he stayed away from home too long, his parents and siblings might start to suspect he was planning to emigrate to Country J.
To be honest, Mr. Lin could imagine visiting Country J for tourism or work, but he could never settle down there. He couldn’t get used to the food. He preferred his own home-cooked rice over bread with wine any day.
With Mr. Lin taking time off, Tan Rou was left as the sole interpreter. Fortunately, Prince Laka had paid half the fee upfront, or Tan Rou might not have been willing to accompany Prince Laka in soaking up the sun.
In July, the Capital was scorched by a fierce sun, and the weather was incredibly hot. Tan Rou felt like she was going to melt away. But for the sake of the project, she had to endure it for a while longer.
Tan Rou could bear the heat, but there was someone else who couldn’t.
“What? Tan Rou went out to play with that prince again today?” Zhuang Liu’s face contorted upon learning that Tan Rou had left the house. He couldn’t maintain his usual calm and collected demeanor and instead resembled the wicked villains from fairy tales, “Has that prince poisoned Tan Rou or something? Why else would she keep going out with him? It won’t do. I have to go see for myself and rescue Tan Rou.”
Xiao Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and patiently advised, “Head of the Zhuang family, Miss Rou is simply working diligently. Wouldn’t your presence affect her work?”
It was quite normal to accompany clients. When significant foreign business partners arrived to discuss deals, Zhuang Liu would also show them around the country and then prepare some gifts for them to take home. This was an unavoidable part of business.
But Zhuang Liu couldn’t help it. He did not want to see Tan Rou getting too close to other men, as though they might steal his Tan Rou away from him.
“It’s fine. I’ll just say I’m there for work too,” Zhuang Liu thought of a plan. “Xiao Mo, go find me a foreign client and ask him to come here immediately. I’ll treat him to a meal and let him enjoy a few days here. I’ll accompany him to see the sights of the Capital.”
“Ah?” Xiao Mo looked at Zhuang Liu in disbelief, “Head of the Zhuang family, don’t you detest idle excursions with clients?”
Zhuang Liu replied seriously, “People change. Is there something wrong with suddenly wanting to explore the Capital?”
Xiao Mo didn’t believe for a second that Zhuang Liu wanted to tour the Capital. He was convinced that Zhuang Liu wanted to find Miss Rou but felt embarra.s.sed to disturb her at work, hence he came up with this plan.
It seemed the older he got, the more childish he became. The Zhuang Liu of the past was an extremely aloof CEO, but ever since he got a girlfriend, he had become quite childish, the kind that needed his wife’s cajoling.
If he wasn’t afraid of having his wages docked by Zhuang Liu, Xiao Mo would have loved to grab him by the ears and shout, “Head of the Zhuang family, can’t you avoid a rebellious teenage phase at nearly thirty? Can’t you act a bit more mature? Please stop chasing after Miss Rou incessantly; she’s very busy!”
Unfortunately, Xiao Mo didn’t dare say it out loud. He could only complain to himself silently and then go home and tell his wife about it.
“Don’t just stand there, get moving!” Zhuang Liu urged desperately, “If we’re any later, that prince will be heading home.”
