Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1444: Harassment in Elevator 1443

Lin Yu replied, “Oh, I’m almost done here too. Wait for me a moment, I’ll have the driver wait for us downstairs immediately.”

Tan Rou didn’t ask what he was going to see; she merely said indifferently, “Oh, then I’ll go down to the lobby and wait.”

When taking the elevator downstairs, Tan Rou saw that group of aristocrats drinking coffee again. They were laughing and chatting, with some ridiculing Rake and his associates for not knowing how to enjoy life, calling them fools.

Tan Rou found it amusing—those who work diligently couldn’t get good treatment, while the idle ones occupied the nation’s best resources. How could such a country retain talents? She truly hoped Rake would follow her back to her country; with that, TR company would gain another top talent.

The elevator was quite crowded, and feeling hot, Tan Rou found a corner to stand in, trying to minimize her presence as much as she could.

But her not seeking others out didn’t mean they wouldn’t seek her out. The young aristocrats on the elevator saw a foreign beauty in a corner and immediately surrounded her.

The people from Country J were rather tall; the tallest among them was about ten centimeters taller than Zhuang Liu. Being encircled by such a group of men was indeed quite oppressive.

If it were any other girl, she might have already been crying from fear, but Tan Rou wasn’t afraid in the least. She was just there to ride the elevator, and if they dared to bother her, then she would have a human sandbag to use today. She had been holding back her anger due to issues with the equipment and was actually looking for a release.

“Beauty, where are you from?” the tallest man asked.

Tan Rou didn’t intend to respond because the man spoke in Country J’s language, allowing her to pretend she couldn’t understand.

Realizing this issue, the man turned to his companions and asked, “Hey, can you tell which country she’s from?”

The man beside him with an earring said, “She has the face of an Oriental, so I guess she’s from Country C. Plus, did you forget what was said at the last meeting? Our leader mentioned that a dozen folks from Country C were coming here to work and we were to make them feel welcome. I caught a glimpse this morning, and indeed, there were a few beauties among them.”

“Oh, so who here speaks Country C’s language?” the tall man said, “Tell this beauty to leave her contact information, and I’ll invite her to dinner tonight.”

His companion laughed, “Are you really planning to invite her for dinner, or do you intend to ‘have’ her for dinner?”

The tall man laughed loudly, “She’s so pretty, I can’t believe she’s into research. She must be some male researcher’s wife, or perhaps even his mistress brought over here.”

Tan Rou clenched her fist, barely resisting the urge to strike.

“Enough talk, just ask her,” the tall man commanded, his words carrying the weight of an order.

The man with the earring responded, “I don’t speak Country C’s language; it’s too hard to learn. But I can speak the international common language. I’ll try to communicate with her and see if she understands.”

After saying that, he changed his tone of voice, “Beautiful miss, are you from Country C? May I have your name?”

Tan Rou feigned a confused expression, as if she didn’t understand what he was saying.

“Oh, she doesn’t understand the international common language,” said the man with the earring. “I think you shouldn’t bother trying to communicate with her. There’s no one else here anyway; you can just do whatever you want, we’ll cover for you.”

“You guys are truly my good brothers. After I chat with her, I’ll let her chat with you,” the tall man said.

The group of young aristocrats burst into laughter, “Great.”

“What would you like to chat about?” Tan Rou crossed her arms and hooked up a slight smile, “Perhaps we could chat somewhere else.”

The tall man was shocked, “You understand what we’re saying? No, you speak our country’s language!”

Tan Rou switched to another language, “Yes, so I heard everything you just said.”

The man with the earring was also shocked, “She is speaking the international common language.”

At that moment, Tan Rou switched to a very obscure language and cursed, “A bunch of idiots.”

Though they didn’t understand, it didn’t stop them from getting the gist, “Are you cursing us?”
