Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss Chapter 1401: Could you do me a favor?

Chapter 1401: Could you do me a favor?

Finally finis.h.i.+ng afternoon tea, Tan Rou hurriedly picked up her bag and left. Since there were many people around, Princess Samiyi didn’t say anything more, only asking Tan Rou to come for tea at the palace again when she had free time.

Tan Rou replied perfunctorily, “Yeah, I’ll come when I’m free.” She just hoped she wouldn’t have any free time until she returned to her own country, never having spare time again, because she really didn’t want to deal with the people in the palace; in her eyes, they were all brain-dead.

Lin Yu escorted Tan Rou out of the palace and had to jog to keep up with her brisk pace.

“Miss Rou’s physical condition is really good, walking so fast,” Lin Yu said.

Tan Rou answered, “I just want to leave this troublesome place quickly. If I stay here any longer, I think I’ll catch their stupidity.”

The corner of Lin Yu’s mouth twitched as he tried to smile and said, “Miss Rou, you haven’t left the palace yet, so you should keep your voice down.”

Tan Rou slowed down and asked, “Did Zhuang Liu bully you back in school or something? Why did you find us such an outrageous partner?”

Lin Yu could only offer an apologetic smile and say, “I really didn’t mean to trick you. The king offered so much, and I couldn’t find a suitable partner, so I just…”

Tan Rou continued, “So you flew all the way back to the country and brought that silly prince to us, right?”

Fortunately, Zhuang Liu didn’t come. If Zhuang Liu had been there, he definitely would have boiled with anger, possibly taking Tan Rou and her team back home overnight and bringing down Lin Yu’s family company the very next day.

Tan Rou wasn’t quick-tempered. She could endure hards.h.i.+p and liked challenging work, which is why she was still persisting. But if the king kept up this att.i.tude, she would leave with her team immediately. Whoever wanted to take over the job could have it; they were through with it.

Lin Yu sighed, “Actually, I had a personal interest in this, too.”

Tan Rou crossed her arms, her expression calm as she watched Lin Yu, “Go on, I’d like to see how many personal interests you have.”

Lin Yu hesitated, then laughed awkwardly, “Both sides are my friends. Zhuang Liu was my cla.s.smate, and Laka was a good friend of mine. Of course, I wanted both to benefit.”

“You think I’ll believe your bulls.h.i.+t?” Tan Rou said angrily, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’m leaving right now!”

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I’ll tell you now.” Lin Yu looked around and said, “This isn’t the place to talk. Follow me somewhere safe to talk.”

Tan Rou wasn’t afraid of Lin Yu harming her; the moment Lin Yu made any suspicious move, she would immediately inject him with two doses, making sure he spent the rest of his life with a wheelchair. Conveniently, TR Company was researching fully automatic wheelchairs, and she could even give Lin Yu a twenty percent discount.

Lin Yu took Tan Rou to a more secluded place and said, “Sigh, the truth is, all this trouble was for my friend Laka.”

Tan Rou almost laughed out of frustration, “You have so many excuses.”

“This time it’s not an excuse,” Lin Yu stressed, “What I said before was not an excuse either, all those were my true thoughts.”

Lin Yu said, “At first, I really didn’t want to take this translation job, just like you. I thought the king was an arrogant idiot. But Prince Laka is so adorable, don’t you think he’s very sincere?”

“I just think you’re more like a smart imbecile!” Tan Rou said harshly.

Lin Yu was indeed smart, but sometimes he really was an imbecile. What normal person would abandon their own country to come to another and serve as a diplomat? The monarch of this country also had issues, daring to employ someone from another country as a diplomat, which was indeed impressive.

Lin Yu said, “You’re quite sharp-tongued.”

Tan Rou replied, “I’m just telling it like it is.”

Lin Yu sighed, “I sincerely wanted to ask for your help. You’ve seen it; Laka isn’t very smart, and he doesn’t have strong political maneuvers like his father. If his father dies and he ascends to the throne, he’ll definitely be bullied by other members of the royal family.”

“What does that have to do with you?” Tan Rou wondered, “You want to be a princess consort or what?”

Lin Yu’s expression darkened as he said, “I just wanted the king to leave him some good stuff, that’s all.”
