Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1439: All 1437 are not normal (Chapter 1437 missing)

Lin Yu admitted, “Yes, the equipment in J国 is indeed subpar.”

Tan Rou calmed herself down and then said, “Are you sure it’s just a little bit off?”

Lin Yu gave an embarrassed smile and said, “The equipment in J国 is very subpar.”

Tan Rou absently fiddled with the machine in front of her and discovered that it even lagged, a machine like this in her company would end up only at the scrapyard.

“Has His Majesty the King ever visited the laboratory at all?” Tan Rou asked incredulously, “With such poor experimental equipment and such tough research conditions, do you think their scientists could possibly produce anything decent?”

TR Company would never shortchange its employees, especially the R&D department staff, because the boss herself was an R&D staff, so she knew all too well how difficult R&D work is, which is why the R&D department’s average salaries were the highest and its funding the most plentiful. Tan Rou didn’t need her department manager to remind her, she frequently visited the R&D department, and as soon as she saw any equipment that had problems, she would immediately have it replaced.

In other companies, the upper management might not understand how much money is needed to develop a new product, perhaps they would cut back on R&D funding, but at TR Company, every disbursement of R&D funds always had a surplus. On one hand, it was because the R&D personnel were technically competent and wasted less resources. On the other hand, it was because the boss allocated more money, and with more money available, there would naturally be a surplus.

“The King is not someone short of money,” Tan Rou said unhappily, “He can build his palace so luxuriously, yet he refuses to spend money on scientific research, that’s just crazy.”

Oh, it wasn’t only that His Majesty the King had a sickness in the brain, his body was also ill, whether he could survive this summer depended on if Court Physician Tan Rou could save his life.

“Keep your voice down,” Lin Yu said with a weary heart, “after all, this is their territory, you can’t always talk about people behind their back.”

Tan Rou said, “Anyway, my employees won’t work under such tough conditions. If these people can’t provide a solution for us, then we’ll just quit.”

Just then, the usually silent chief designer appeared out of nowhere; he ghosted up behind Tan Rou and Lin Yu and said slowly, “You’ve arrived.”

Tan Rou and Lin Yu got a fright, Lin Yu quickly retreated to a safe area, while Tan Rou instinctively made a move on Rake, pushing him away two meters with a palm.

Rake coughed a few times and then, clutching his chest, asked, “Why did you hit me?”

Tan Rou was baffled by his question, “I should be asking what you were doing behind me? Don’t you know that scaring people could scare someone to death?”

Rake tilted his head to think, then said, “I didn’t mean to scare you, I was just greeting you. You were talking down there and I was calling you from up there, but you didn’t hear, so I came down to find you. As long as I come close and speak, you’ll be able to hear.”

Tan Rou didn’t even know from what angle to criticize his behavior, he could have simply called out to them after coming downstairs, rather than stealthily appearing behind them. Moreover, Tan Rou had been careless this time, as she hadn’t noticed anyone approaching her, it seemed she needed to train her observational abilities.

Lin Yu patted her chest and then said, “Mr. Rake, next time if you want to greet us, please call out to us from afar, and definitely do not appear behind us like this, it’s frightening.”

Rake nodded and said, “Okay, I understand.”

Tan Rou really admired the people of this country, she had found that there were not many normal people here, starting from the King, all of them were oddballs. Looking at it this way, Princess Samiyi might be one of the few normal ones.

“Mr. Rake, right?” said Tan Rou, “I apologize, I don’t really like people getting too close to me. If someone approaches me, I’ll reflexively send them flying.”

To her surprise, Rake actually laughed, gave Tan Rou a thumbs up, and said, “The people in your country all know martial arts, very impressive, you’re also very strong, a true warrior.”

Tan Rou’s mouth twitched, “Heh, thanks for the compliment!” Great, the label that all people from her country knew martial arts was thoroughly stuck.
