Ed sat on the comfort chair and tried out most of the functions of the chair. He realized that this chair was not just a simple massage chair. It was even equipped with VR technology, allowing people to enjoy a visual feast while enjoying the massage.
Although Ed’s expression was very rich, he still had the same attitude as before. “This thing is indeed interesting, but was it designed by Miss Shang Jin?”
“I designed it with my team but they didn’t come today. I’m their representative.”
When he heard Shang Jin say that the chair was the result of teamwork, Ed’s expression became much better. “I see. This product is indeed one of the acceptable works I’ve seen today. May I ask, what position does Miss Shang Jin hold in the team?”
Shang Jin didn’t understand what Ed meant by this question, so she answered perfunctorily, “I’m just a handyman in the team. Others are in charge of design and research. Then, I’m in charge of serving them tea and water. I’m also in charge of packing up the used materials.”
A smile instantly appeared on Ed’s face. He knew that such a good chair was definitely not designed by this young girl in front of him. In his impression, girls were not as talented as boys in design.
When he was selecting his team members, he would mostly choose boys and only a few girls with higher talent, but they were still a minority.
Moreover, the status of women in Ed’s country was relatively low. The law that allowed women to work outside the home had only been implemented for 20 years. In his country, many women were still not allowed to go to school and had to wear a veil when they went out.
Ed smiled. “Girls are indeed suitable for this kind of work. It’s not too brain-consuming, and it’s not too hard either.”
Shang Jin was furious when she heard that. “What do you mean? Are you saying that girls are not equipped to create gadgets like these?!”
“Miss Shang Jin, I’m not trying to discriminate against you. It’s just that you can open your eyes and take a look. You’re surrounded by men.”
Lang Yue couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up and said, “Mr. Smith, that’s rude of you to say so. Whether you’re a man or a woman, you’re all on the same planet. Everyone has equal rights. As men, we shouldn’t look at women with gender bias.”
In his own country, Ed accepted traditional values, so in many cases, he did not respect women. “Sir, don’t be angry. I’m just stating the facts.”
“To hell with your facts!” Shang Jin jumped up and scolded Eddy.
“Are you crazy? What right do you have to look down on women? Didn’t your mother give birth to you? Without your mother, would you even be able to stand here and look down on women? Did you pop out of a rock?!”
She cursed Ed’s ancestors and even criticized Ed’s country. However, she used the dialect of her hometown. Other than herself, no one could understand her. “What is she talking about?” Ed asked, confused.
Mayor Guo could tell from Shang Jin’s expression that she was scolding him, but he planned to tell Ed the truth. “Oh, this lady is complimenting you. She said that you’re a peerless genius and that you’re the only special one in this world.”
Ed was skeptical. “Why do I feel like she’s scolding me?”
“No, you must have interpreted it wrongly,” Mayor Guo said calmly.
When Tan Rou came back, she saw this scene. She saw Shang Jin scolding people in her hometown’s dialect. The people around him almost couldn’t help but laugh, especially Lang Yue, who could understand a little of Shang Jin’s dialect. His face turned red.
“Senior, what’s wrong?” Tan Rou walked over and asked.
When Shang Jin saw Tan Rou, her temper calmed down a little. She said unhappily, “It’s nothing. I was just bitten by a bug. I was just teaching it a lesson!”
Ed understood what she meant and looked around. “There are bugs in such a clean exhibition hall?”
“Of course there is,” Shang Jin said unhappily. “It’s just a big bug. It just stands there and hums. If you’re not careful, you’ll be bitten by it.”
Ed didn’t understand, but everyone else did. Shang Jin wasn’t saying that there were bugs in the exhibition hall. She was scolding Ed for being the annoying bug.
