Chapter 1383: Meet at 1382
Lang Yue told her to lower her voice, lest someone understand their conversation.
Shang Jin nodded, and then leaned in and said, “At first, I thought Laka was unsophisticated, but pared to his aunt, Laka knows much more. At least he has been on an airplane.”
Lang Yue rested her hand on her forehead and said, “J Kingdom’s technological level isn’t that high, which you could tell from the road we just took. The prevalence of machinery in their country isn’t high.”
Shang Jin teased, “I won’t be surprised if I find candles used for lighting inside the royal palace.”
Lang Yue replied to her, “You might actually experience a power outage here, because I did find candles and matches in the hotel drawer.”
Shang Jin couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, “Impressive!”
While the two leading people were having a lively conversation, the two following them were also engaged in a vibrant chat, but those responsible for guiding Tan Rou and the attendants of Princess Samiyi dared not say a word. They all walked with their heads down, and who knew if they might bump into a tree.
Under the lead of Princess Samiyi, Tan Rou and the other two arrived at an outdoor reception hall.
Upon seeing this reception hall, Shang Jin laughed and said to Lang Yue, “Doesn’t this look like the ancient emperor’s royal garden?”
Lang Yue said, “For all we know, this might just be the emperor’s royal garden. Laka is a prince and the future king. Meeting us here is like the ancient emperor receiving an envoy.”
Shang Jin said, “Then you are the foreign princess ing to marry.”
Lang Yue also joined in the role-playing, “You’re the princess, the boss is the foreign minister, and I, along with the others, am responsible for escorting you here.”
Shang Jin insisted, “You’re the princess!”
Lang Yue retorted, “You look more like a princess!”
The two argued back and forth about who resembled a princess until they reached Laka’s presence, at which point they both shut up.
Today, Laka wasn’t dressed in his usual attire; he wore a white robe that went from under his chin down to his ankles and had long sleeves. The robe was embroidered with gold threads, and both the neckline and cuffs were adorned with gems. It was very beautiful.
“So hot.” Shang Jin wasn’t that hot initially, but seeing Laka dressed like that, she felt terribly warm, “Isn’t he hot?”
Lang Yue whispered in her ear, “Respect other people’s cultural traditions.”
Tan Rou, noticing them whispering, glanced over at them, signaling them to stop talking. Shang Jin and Lang Yue immediately clammed up.
Upon seeing Tan Rou, a smile that Laka couldn’t hide emerged on his face, and he said, “Miss Rou, wele to our country with your team. Before the formal meeting, please allow me to introduce the individuals who will be collaborating with you.” Having said that, he extended his right hand, intending to shake hands with Tan Rou.
Handshakes were not the customary greeting in J Kingdom; instead, bowing was used, with the angle of the bow varying according to the person’s status. The king didn’t need to bow, but everyone else did.
Tan Rou was pleased with Laka’s handshake and also reached out her right hand, saying, “I am also looking forward to this collaboration.”
Then Laka introduced Tan Rou to his entourage. The names were really long, so Tan Rou just remembered their first names. For instance, the person in charge of the project was called Jimi, and the chief designer was called Rake.
Rake wasn’t talkative. Unless someone asked him a question, he wouldn’t say a word. And even when asked, he would only speak a few words.
Jimi, on the other hand, loved to talk. After Laka finished speaking, he began chatting with Tan Rou, asking if they encountered any troubles on their way and if they had a good rest the night before. During the process, he even managed to discuss matters with Prince Laka.
Tan Rou was somewhat impressed with Jimi’s eloquence. At first, she thought Lin Yu was a good talker, but pared to Mr. Jimi, Lin Yu paled in parison.
“Miss Rou and the team have e from afar, you must be tired, correct?” Jimi changed the subject, “Let’s not talk about work today. You should have a good rest, and we also need to make some preparations. Tomorrow, we can talk about work.”
Tan Rou replied, “We had a good rest last night, and we would like to plete the work as soon as possible.”
Jimi stood by his point, “If that is the case, then we can tour the palace, and afterwards, Miss Rou, you can sample our court cuisine.”
