Chapter 1399: 1398 Silent Atmosphere

“I’m also very curious about other countries, why don’t we chat together,” the King said.

However, his expression didn’t seem like he was there to chat at all; it looked more like he was there to listen to a report, and if Tan Rou said anything that displeased him, he might just drag her out to execute her.

Yet, Tan Rou wasn’t afraid of the King; she was here for work, and if the King dared to trouble her, she would immediately leave with her team. Moreover, she wasn’t worried about the King not letting her go, because as long as she wanted to leave, she could definitely do so.

“Your Majesty, we are not discussing national affairs, just some achievements in technological development. If you are interested, we can talk more about it,” Tan Rou said right from the start, letting the King know she wouldn’t discuss politics much. If the King wasn’t interested in their topics, then she needn’t speak further.

The King seemed quite idle; he didn’t care at all about the topics Tan Rou discussed, “I’m also quite interested in technological developments, Miss Rou, if you want to talk, then you can elaborate more. It would be best to discuss how our country should develop its technology next.”

Tan Rou really wanted to say “you shouldn’t be asking me this,” but she knew the King definitely wouldn’t want to hear that, so she said, “Technological development should be based on the national conditions of the country. I don’t know much about Country J, so I don’t know how Country J should develop its technology next. Your Majesty, perhaps you could discuss this matter with your ministers. I think Mr. Jimi is quite capable, surely he has many ideas.”

The King dismissed Tan Rou’s suggestion, saying, “Jimi’s thinking has solidified; he is fit to receive foreign guests, but discussing technological development is definitely not his forte.”

Tan Rou inwardly scoffed, knowing his incapability in the field of technology, yet you still appointed him as the person in charge of this project. This was like making a PE teacher the head of the math department; surely, the school’s mathematics would deteriorate.

“Hehehe.” Tan Rou laughed a few times, but didn’t dwell on that issue anymore.

With the King there, Samiyi couldn’t continue their previous topic, so she just sat on the side like a background board, occasionally having to pour some tea for Tan Rou and the others.

With Samiyi not speaking, Tan Rou not wanting to talk much with the King, and the King not being one to initiate conversation, the atmosphere became very silent.

This time, aside from hearing the “gurgle” sound of the tea boiling on the stove, no other sounds could be heard.

After quite a while, just when Tan Rou felt she had had enough tea, the King spoke again, “It seems Miss Rou doesn’t enjoy chatting with an old person like me. In that case, let’s have the young people come and talk to you.”

Tan Rou was a bit curious about who the King would call. She guessed Lin Yu would come, as Lin Yu was from her country, and he had exerted a lot of effort in this cooperation, so it was normal for him to be here.

The King called two people, one of whom was indeed Lin Yu, but the other was beyond Tan Rou’s expectation. Instead of the Laka she had guessed, it was Rake, the chief designer she had met once.

In the morning, Tan Rou had already met with Rake. Rake hardly spoke; wherever he went, he just stood there, daydreaming. Someone unaware might think the chief designer was mute.

Even though professionals had come, the professionals weren’t talkative either. How could Tan Rou strike up a conversation with him? Observing the people from this country, Tan Rou really felt weary; she shouldn’t have signed the project contract, as collaborating with them was simply too exhausting.

Fortunately, Lin Yu was there. Although he wasn’t very knowledgeable in the field of technology, he surely knew much more than the King and Jimi, and Tan Rou could still have a conversation with him.

The arrival of Lin Yu and Rake livened up the atmosphere a bit, mainly because Tan Rou and Lin Yu, the two foreigners, were talking, while the other three local members of Country J could hardly get a word in.

Tan Rou awkwardly said, “Mr. Lin, I feel like we are like storytellers in a martial arts novel.”

Lin Yu responded very calmly, “You’ll get used to it, I’ve been doing it for several years now.”

The King said, “Continue, what were you talking about, the subway, what is that thing?”
