Chapter 1321: Chapter 1319: 1318 discusses cooperation

“What is he talking about?” Shang Jin scratched his head, asking with considerable puzzlement, “Tan Rou, were you just speaking their national language? And why is he giving me a thumbs up? Does it mean he really likes the ornament I sent him?”

Before Tan Rou could speak, Mr. Lin began to translate, “Laka is praising you and Miss Rou for being very impressive. He said the products you’ve designed are all fantastic and that being women doesn’t make you inferior to others. On the contrary, you are even better than many men, and he admires that about you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tan Rou’s eyes widened slightly, she indeed hadn’t misjudged Mr. Lin; the man’s mouth really could weave wonders. Laka’s statement had conveyed little substance, but after Mr. Lin’s translation, it instantly morphed into a lavish rainbow of compliments.

She silently gave Mr. Lin a mental thumbs-up, then said, “Mr. Lin is really overqualified to be just a translator with such eloquence, you should consider becoming a diplomat.”

Mr. Lin countered, “Isn’t the work I’m doing now somewhat like that of a diplomat?”

Indeed, he was a translator, and not just any translator—he worked for the royal family of J country and accompanied Prince Laka to activities, visiting various countries. How could that not be considered a special kind of diplomat?

If it weren’t for the fact that he still held his own country’s nationality, perhaps Mr. Lin could indeed become an official diplomat for J country.

Tan Rou felt that such talent should be retained by the country and not allowed to run off elsewhere. However, judging by Mr. Lin’s attitude, he still seemed to love his motherland, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Laka here privately to have fun.

Upon hearing Mr. Lin’s translation, Shang Jin’s heart blossomed with joy, “Worthy of a prince, his words are so pleasing to hear; no wonder so many princesses like princes—it must be because the princes are so skilled at speaking.”

“Not only skilled in speaking but also extremely wealthy,” Tan Rou added, “Just now during dinner, Mr. Lin, on behalf of Prince Laka, expressed an interest in cooperation. What do you think about that?”

“What do I think?” Shang Jin said, puzzled, “You’re the boss, if you want to cooperate with them, then let’s do it. My opinion isn’t that important. Surely I wouldn’t stop you from making money, would I?”

Tan Rou chuckled, “Prince Laka took a fancy to the massage chair you designed, saying he wants to order 100 units to take back to his country. So do you think it concerns you now?”

For TR, 100 units were just a small amount, but for Shang Jin, it was huge—it was Laka’s endorsement of Shang Jin’s designed product. Someone personally buying 100 units surely meant great satisfaction.

“This prince really knows his stuff!” Shang Jin beamed, unable to conceal her smile, and said to Tan Rou, “Tan Rou, help me translate. Tell Prince Laka that if he’s willing to order 100 massage chairs, I’ll throw in 100 small ornaments for free!”

Tan Rou snorted with laughter, “I thought you were going to offer him a discount. I didn’t expect you to just give away 100 small ornaments—you’re really stingy.”

Shang Jin said sheepishly, “I would like to give him a discount, but I only designed the product, I don’t assemble or sell it, how could I have the nerve to offer a discount?”

“Don’t overlook me though, the boss is still here. If I want to give someone a discount, would anyone have an objection?” Tan Rou pointed out.

Shang Jin’s response was quick, she smiled sweetly at Tan Rou saying, “Tan Rou… no, my dear boss, could you possibly offer me an employee’s internal price? Let’s give them a 10% discount on each machine, what do you think?”

Tan Rou glanced at Mr. Lin and inquired, “Mr. Lin, do you think this order is acceptable?”

Mr. Lin, still wearing his nonchalant expression, stated, “I’m just a translator; I don’t have that much influence. The one buying the massage chairs is Prince Laka, and you are the sellers, so in the end, you should discuss it amongst yourselves. Besides, Miss Rou also understands the language of J country, you won’t have much trouble communicating.”

“In my view, Mr. Lin’s opinion is also very important, because he was the one who initially proposed the cooperation,” Tan Rou contended.

Mr. Lin fell silent for a moment, then said, “Alright, then let me also join in the discussion.”
