Chapter 359: Without My Wife By My Side, I Don’t Have An Appetite
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked out.
There was a specially designated restaurant for lunch, not far from the cultural hall.
Every single person who came today was an important figure in the world’s cultural world who couldn’t be underestimated. Not only was the cultural palace heavily guarded, but there were also guards at the hotel where they were eating.
The morning was short, and the reporters from all over the world didn’t have time to ask them questions. At this moment, as long as they saw a principal get out of the car, they would focus all their firepower on the principal and ask him questions.
When Chu Luo and Principal Tang alighted, many reporters were excited.
“Principal Tang, I heard that you only brought Chu Luo as a translator this time. Why are you so confident in her abilities that you think she can translate all the languages of the countries?”
“Principal Tang, I heard that the gaming capsule that Imperial University has been working on with Blazing Glory Gaming Corporation has reached the end stage. Is that true?”
“Chu Luo, can you tell me if you’re so nervous that you have stage fright coming here as Principal Tang’s sole translator?”
…
Facing everyone’s questions, Principal Tang said to Chu Luo, “There’s no need to answer them. When the time comes, the Education Bureau will allocate time to answer the reporters’ questions.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo didn’t intend to answer the question.
After the other five principals and their team of translators came over, everyone continued to walk towards the hotel door while chatting.
She had just taken a few steps when a female voice shouted Chu Luo’s name from behind.
Everyone subconsciously stopped.
Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at the curly-haired, dark-skinned woman walking towards her.
Principal Tang asked, “Chu Luo, do you know her?”
“No.”
Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, that woman smiled and walked up to her with a mouthful of white teeth. She spoke in Language O and had a strong local accent. “Chu Luo, you left something in the lounge just now… Here, I brought it for you.”
Chu Luo looked at the thing the woman handed her and narrowed her eyes.
She didn’t leave anything behind.
Seeing that she didn’t answer after a long time, Principal Bonilan, who was standing at the side, was about to ask the translator he had brought to translate. Actually, he didn’t understand what that woman had said either.
Principal Tang stood beside Chu Luo and asked her, “Chu Luo, what did this lady say?”
When the woman opposite her smiled even more brightly at her, Chu Luo slowly said, “She said that I left something in the cultural lounge. I was wondering why something like lipstick suddenly appeared when I didn’t bring any cosmetics with me.”
After saying that, she said to the woman directly, “This lipstick isn’t mine.”
The woman looked surprised. She didn’t expect Chu Luo to not only understand what she said in her hometown’s accent, but also answer in the same accent.
Seeing that she was stunned, Chu Luo deliberately asked, “Did you come to test me knowing that this isn’t mine?”
After saying that, she even said in the common language, “If you really want to test me, please find a good excuse. Also, you came to interpret for the principal of Country O and actually used a local accent. Hasn’t anyone taught you how to behave when you’re interpreting at such an occasion?”
Chu Luo’s words were extremely straightforward.
When the others heard this, they were a little shocked by her frankness.
Especially the woman opposite her, her face turned red.
At this moment, Principal Tang said proudly in an apologetic tone, “Don’t mind her, everyone. Chu Luo just turned 18 a few months ago. She’s younger than everyone here. Usually, the teachers and students at Imperial University spoil her, so she has developed an innocent and straightforward personality.”
At this point, he even asked the woman, “Madam, do you really not know how to speak the common language of your country? It’s indeed a little inappropriate to be a translator like this.”
After saying that, she deliberately looked around, obviously looking for the principal of Country O.
How could the principal of Country O be willing to let others find him at a time like this? He had been standing at the side and watching the show, but now, he didn’t care about watching the show anymore. He strode into the hotel and said to his assistant as he walked, “Let Isa stay in the hotel for the next two days. She doesn’t have to be my interpreter anymore.”
Isa embarrassing herself was equivalent to humiliating him. He really didn’t know what went wrong with that woman’s brain to dare to use dialect in front of so many principals and reporters.
Chu Luo looked at Isa’s ugly expression and said to Principal Tang, “Principal, stop talking. Otherwise, some people who don’t know will think that our host bullied the interpreter brought by a guest.”
Principal Tang immediately cooperated and said to Isa, “Madam, if I say something that made you displeased, please be understanding.”
Everyone looked at Isa.
Isa was even more ashamed after hearing that. Her lips trembled as she said, “No… no…”
Before she even finished her sentence, she turned around and strode away.
The reporters were excited.
“Chu Luo, you can even understand the local dialect of Country O. How did you do that?”
“Chu Luo, I heard that you applied for more than ten foreign languages. Is that true?”
…
“These people are getting more and more exaggerated.”
Principal Tang smiled and said to the principals standing there, “Let’s go in for lunch.”
The principals glanced at the two of them with complicated expressions.
How could they not know that the two of them had been singing a duet just now? They could imagine how aggrieved the principal of Country O would be after being questioned by the reporters for the next two days and discussed in private by everyone.
Chu Luo’s move not only stunned everyone present, but also made those who wanted to test her temporarily give up.
After the meal, the principals talked about the school’s management system.
Chu Luo wasn’t interested in these things. If someone deliberately spoke to Principal Tang in their local language, she would act as the translator. The rest of the time she spent it eating.
After the meal, she suddenly missed Li Yan a little and wanted to go out to call him, so she informed the principal and stood up to leave.
This was the third floor of the restaurant. There was a corridor outside the restaurant. The left side of the corridor led to the elevator, and the right side was the bathroom.
There was an area beside the bathroom for people to touch up their makeup and sit down to breathe.
Chu Luo walked over and dialed a number.
The call was picked up after a ring and Li Yan’s low and magnetic voice could be heard. “Luoluo.”
When Chu Luo heard his voice, the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up. “Yan, have you eaten?”
Li Yan’s voice subconsciously softened. “I’m about to eat.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he said to his secretary, “Send lunch to my office.”
“Okay, CEO.”
Then came the sound of chairs moving and footsteps.
Chu Luo said to him in dissatisfaction, “If I hadn’t called you, were you going to keep holding meetings and not eat?”
Unexpectedly, Li Yan really responded with an “Mm.”
Chu Luo snorted in dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the door opened and closed, followed by Li Yan’s light laughter. He said, “Without my wife by my side, I don’t even have an appetite to eat.”
Then, he said, “Luoluo, I miss you.”
Chu Luo blushed, but the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up.
Li Yan coaxed, “Luoluo, did you miss me?”
Someone passed by. Chu Luo was a little embarrassed and softly responded with an “Mm”.
Satisfied with her response, Li Yan continued to coax her. “Say that you miss me.”
Chu Luo walked to the lounge sofa area by the window. There was no one here. She still said with a red face, “I miss you.”
Li Yan smiled happily and said, “Luoluo, what should I do? I want to be by your side immediately.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and smiled. “If you end work early, you can come over. I’ll wait for you.”
Li Yan: “Okay.”
The two of them spoke for a while more before Chu Luo urged him to eat. “I’m hanging up. Hurry up and eat, or the food will turn cold.”
Li Yan deliberately asked, “Does Luoluo want me to end my work early and come over early?”
Chu Luo snorted at him tsunderely and hung up.
After hanging up, she stopped smiling and turned to look at the entrance coldly.
A beautiful woman walked in.
The woman was holding a fashionable bag and wearing stilettos. After walking in, she sat down at a makeup table not far from Chu Luo and took out a makeup kit to touch up her makeup.
This person concealed it very well, but Chu Luo could feel her malice.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes to scroll the Internet with her phone.
Only then did she realize that the entire Internet had almost exploded. Someone had exposed that a certain corporation was secretly hiding firearms.
This particular corporation was one of the Qin family’s properties.
Regardless of whether this piece of news was true or not, the higher-ups immediately sent people to investigate. At the same time, they sealed up a few other companies.
If nothing went wrong, these sealed companies must all be the Qin family’s businesses.
At this moment, two voices came from outside the door, discussing her as they approached.
