Chapter 140

What she told Aimo was naturally true; the Emperor indeed held high hopes for Mr. Lindon, so much so that she even planned to conduct the 'interview' herself.

Translation: She naturally told Aomo the truth; the emperor indeed held high hopes for Mr. Lindon, and that expectation was so great that she even planned to conduct the 'interview' herself.

We need to decide how to handle the quotation marks; the Chinese uses 'interview', which we can translate as 'interview' with English quotes. Should we keep single quotes, use double quotes, or just use single quotes as in the original? We'll use single quotes.

Thus: She naturally told Aomo the truth; the emperor indeed held high hopes for Mr. Lindon, and that expectation was so great that she even planned to conduct the 'interview' herself.

But we need to keep the name Aomo as per glossary. So "Aomo". Good.

In this world, Penguin Logistics has only a few senior staff: Neng Tian Shi, De Ke Sa Si, Croissant, Mo Si Ti Ma, Yin Si, and Kong.

Translation: In this world, the senior employees of Penguin Logistics were just a few: Angel, Texas, Croissant, Mostima, Yin Si, Kong.

But we need to use pinyin for names. So we need to replace those with pinyin forms. Let's decide: we will use pinyin forms as we discussed: Nengtianshi, Dekesas i? Actually we need to decide.

line: English commentary, no Chinese. Output as is.

Thus we need to produce pinyin. I'll produce pinyin with spaces between syllables, each capitalized.

Let's compute pinyin for each:

- Ability Angel: Neng Tian Shi

- Texas: De Ke Sa Si

: 【23】 Ke Song

: 【24】 Mo Si Ti Ma

: 【25】 Yin Si

: 【26】 Kong

Now for Mr. Lin Dun: Mr. Lin Dun.

Now for Bai Song·Bi Te Si: Bai Song·Bi Te Si.

Now for Penguin Logistics: Penguin Logistics.

Now let's translate each line.

I'll write each line as 【N】 translation.

【1】 She naturally told Aomo the truth; the emperor indeed held high hopes for Mr. Lin Dun, and that expectation was so great that she even planned to conduct the 'interview' herself.

Check: 'Emperor' = emperor. 'Indeed held high hopes' = indeed held high hopes. 'That expectation was so high that she even planned to conduct the interview herself.'

【2】 In this world, the senior employees of Penguin Logistics were just a few: Neng Tian Shi, De Ke Sa Si, Ke Song, Mo Si Ti Ma, Yin Si, Kong.

Yin Si was too busy, Kong wasn't here, but the others could serve as interviewers.

Though Neng Tian Shi seemed like child's play and Ke Song seemed money‑grubbing, when faced with this work they would instead be proper and orderly.

But if we had to say who was the strictest, it would be the seemingly indifferent Mo Si Ti Ma and De Ke Sa Si.

However, the latter wasn't approached.

Mo Si Ti Ma clearly knew she had been forced to work overtime by the boss seizing the opportunity; this was clearly her vacation.

But if it were interesting, it wouldn't matter either way.

In this regard, her difference from Neng Tian Shi, or rather from her clan, wasn't that great — 【Note: line 9 ends with an em dash; we keep dash.】
