Chapter 224: Swedish
Many of the people present had a new understanding of Mo Lian’s brain damage. Mo Yan even saw the Group B supervisor secretly give an eye roll out of Mo Lian’s line of sight.
Since Luo Tao had already explained, he did not miss this sentence and directly reported the t.i.tle of the book to her.
Xu Tian continued to translate for Mo Yan. The t.i.tle was “The girl with a dragon tattoo”.
Mo Yan quietly searched on Baidu and a row of entries appeared at the bottom. It was a mystery novel, and it was written in a column that the translator was Mr. Luo.
This time, Mo Lian had nothing to say. Even if she was unwilling, she could only endure it.
!!
The following dinner was a little strange. On one side, a few people continued to support Mo Lian, while Hong Jing, who was led by the director, spoke more with Luo Tao.
The director’s knowledge of Swedish could only be said to be a hobby of his, but this hobby was too narrow in scope. Although he joined some groups, they were from different regions and seldom met. Now that he had finally met someone whom he could talk with, he was extremely excited.
“Mr. Luo, can I ask a favor of you?” The director rubbed his hands in embarra.s.sment.
“Go ahead.”
“Actually, I want to ask you to translate an old novel for me.”
Luo Tao raised his eyebrows. “Old novel?”
“Yes, this is the first Swedish novel that I have come into contact with. The words behind it are more profound. I don’t quite understand it. Perhaps the translation is only half-understood, so I feel that the ending should not be like the translation.”
Luo Tao pondered for a moment and nodded. “Sure.”
“Thank you very much!”
The director’s eyes were overflowing with grat.i.tude. It seemed that this book held great importance to him.
While Mo Yan was chatting enthusiastically, Mo Lian’s side was relatively taciturn.
Everyone knew that this eldest daughter of the Mo family would hold a grudge against you if you didn’t go along with her wishes. She might retaliate against you at any moment. Her subordinates only dared to flatter her and grovel at her feet if they did something wrong. No one dared to utter a single negative word about her.
Mo Lian looked at the couple who were being supported by all. The jealousy and hatred in her eyes were about to show itself.
“Ha! Translating in a minor language is not a proper job after all. One day, you won’t be able to get money if you don’t get a translation. Mo Yan! Listen to your elder sister’s advice. Let your husband find a proper company to work in!”
Mo Lian’s subordinates were afraid that Mo Yan would say something that would make Mo Lian feel embarra.s.sed, so they quickly chimed in, “Since Mr. Luo’s picks things up so rapidly, why not learn how to play the stock market? There will be opportunities to obtain money quickly.”
Hearing what Mo Lian’s subordinate had said, Mo Yan stopped smiling and looked coldly at the person who had spoken.
After living together for some time, the husband and wife would slowly become like each other. For example, the person now also felt a sense of oppression.
Mo Yan did not think that it was bad to trade stocks, but it really needed ability and luck. Otherwise, for an ordinary family, the stock market was like goods sailing in the sea, and they had to constantly worry about whether they would encounter storms or waves.
Once they were stuck, the entire family would be at risk of being torn apart. Didn’t they see how many people had jumped down from the tall buildings on Wall Street?
To let a person like Luo Tao, who had never come into contact with stocks, learn stocks on the spot, meant Mo Lian would really go to any lengths to break up her family.
“I don’t need Ms. Mo Lian and everyone to worry about my family’s matters. He’s my husband. Even if he doesn’t earn money, I’m willing to support him.”
Perhaps to some men, it was unacceptable for their wives to support them, but who was Luo Tao? Not only did he accept it well, but he was also very happy. He even chuckled and squeezed Mo Yan’s hand.
Mo Yan blushed and quickly pulled her hand away, murmuring, “What are you doing?”
“Wife, I’ll remember what you said. You can’t go back on your words in future!”
Mo Yan turned her face away and spoke to Xu Tian, ignoring him.
Bang! Chopsticks were forcefully slammed onto a plate. Mo Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. Was this ‘Little Princess’ going to fly into a rage?
“Ms. Mo, Ms. Mo, we know that you want to help your sister, but you just can’t put down your dignity and speak a little more straightforwardly. Your sister doesn’t understand you because she’s not sensible. Don’t be angry. Come, let’s eat.”
Mo Yan wanted to roll her eyes to the sky. These lackeys were even worthy of mentioning her? They wanted to treat her as a ladder for the ‘Little Princess’ to step down from the stage? This really corresponded with the old saying that a person without shame is invincible!
