Chapter 386 - Translate (2/2)

Shen Qingyan saw the opportunity immediately and said, “Tell her that I can fulfill all her order requirements.”

Xiao Luo turned around to Princess Salama and relayed Shen Qingyan’s offer.

When Princess Salama was informed of the offer, she looked elated and let out a garble of words in her own language. She immediately gave Shen Qingyan a traditional Arabic embrace, kissed on her cheeks, and repeatedly bowed to express her satisfaction.

Xiao Luo translated, “She said that if you could fulfill her order without delay, she will help Huayao establish a branch in the UAE. This will be a mutually beneficial arrangement for both parties. As Renhe Medicine’s monopolizes the market in her country, they control the market price, causing her people to pay a premium for medicines. There are also many cases of the medicines being adulterated. Among the benefits of leveling the playing field in the UAE market would be ensuring that the quality of medicines is not compromised and market prices remain fair.”

It took a bit of effort for Shen Qingyan to maintain a calm demeanor, but she gave it away when she excitedly said to her assistant, “Miss He, hurry up and get Princess Salama a seat!”

“Yes, Miss Shen.”

The tall lady pulled up the chair Shen Xingqing had just sat on earlier for the princess and graciously invited her to sit.

“Xie xie!”

Salama bowed and thanked her politely. Many foreigners who came to the country made an effort to speak in Mandarin, and she was no exception.

Shen Xingqing suddenly burst out, “Qingyan, my niece, you’re really too young and naive. Do you really believe that a foreign woman dressed in such ordinary clothes could actually be a princess from Dubai?”

When Shen Qingyan heard that, she felt slightly dampened. Although Shen Xingqing was a detestable man, what he had said did make sense. Dubai was a place where every inch of land was gilded in gold. As a princess from Dubai, why would she dress so shabbily?

“Huh, if you ask me, I’d say that this kid is just talking nonsense!”

Shen Xingqing said as he pointed at Xiao Luo, totally unconvinced. “Only God knows what he was uttering, and we are now supposed to believe it is some kind of tribal dialect? He’s definitely playing you for a fool. If you chose to believe in him, I do not know where you’ve put your brains. This is a joke!”

By slandering the princess and Xiao Luo, he also took the opportunity to humiliate Shen Qingyan and question her acumen.

Shen Qingyan glared at him nastily, then cast an inquiring glance at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo spread his hands, and with a shrug of his shoulders, he said, “I’m just the translator!”

Whether or not Salama was truly the princess of Dubai, had nothing to do with him. He was merely conveying her words across.

“Translate your head! Are you telling me that a low-down bullsh*tter like you can understand Arabic? I am inclined to suspect that you and this woman are accomplices, and you are both in collusion to scam the Huayao Corporation,” Shen Xingqing carped.

He simply refused to accept that she was a princess from Dubai, or that Xiao Luo could understand and speak Arabic. If it turned out to be true, he would have personally handed over such a huge order to Shen Qingyan for nothing.

Xiao Luo translated his words to Princess Salama.

Salama was so infuriated that she took out a black bank card and slammed it on the table, cursing at Shen Xingqing in her own language.

A Swiss Bank Centurion Card?!

Shen Qingyan and Shen Xingqing’s pupils dilated at the sight of the card. The card symbolized status and wealth, and ownership of such a card was by invitation only, which meant it was the card of choice for the rich and famous and people of nobility.

Xiao Luo duly translated what the princess had said to Shen Xingqing. “Princess Salama would like you to know that she thinks you are an insignificant maggot crawling on a heap of stinking feces, and she’d also like to say that you are so disgusting that it makes her want to throw up.”

“You…!”

Shen Xingqing’s face immediately darkened to the hue of a pig’s liver. He quivered with rage as he pointed at Xiao Luo, but he couldn’t find the words, for the Swiss Bank Centurion card on the table felt like the weight of a mountain bearing down on him, rendering him breathless.
