Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss - Chapter 1107
Chapter 1107:1107 Tao Zhi’s Colleague
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was almost the new year, and the Capital was very lively. There were people everywhere, and the roads in the Capital were blocked by people. A four-wheeled car could not move as fast as a two-legged person.
Tan Rou and Tian Tian went shopping together. This was the first time Tian Tian spent the New Year with the Tao family as the daughter-in-law. She planned to buy more things for the elders, but she didn’t want to go out alone, so she dragged Tan Rou out to shop.
The two of them didn’t drive. There were too many cars and people. They couldn’t drive either. They simply took the subway to the mall and asked them to deliver the things they bought to their door.
As Tian Tian walked, she looked around and felt a little uncomfortable.
Tan Rou noticed that she was looking around and asked, “Tiantian, are you feeling unwell? Why are you so distracted?”
Tian Tian couldn’t tell what she was feeling. She touched her eyes and said, “Rourou, my right eye keeps twitching. I feel like something bad is about to happen.”
Tan Rou smiled. “Maybe you didn’t sleep well last night. Let me give you a massage.”
These words did not comfort Tian Tian. She was still a little flustered. “Let’s find a place to rest first. I’m tired from walking.”
Tian Tian liked to eat desserts, so Tan Rou found a dessert shop for them to rest. There were too many people in the shop and there was no place to sit. They could only have takeaways from the dessert shop.
Tan Rou asked Tian Tian to find a place to rest for a while. She went to line up to buy something and then took it out to eat. Tian Tianxin was a little flustered and she didn’t want to stand in the middle of the crowd, so she found a corner and squatted down facing the wall. When she squatted down, she did feel a little better.
After a while, someone suddenly patted her shoulder. She thought it was Tan Rou and immediately stood up. “Rourou, you’re quick. Are you done already?”
However, it was not Tan Rou behind her, but a stranger she had never seen before.
“Are you Miss Tian Tian?” The man said, “Hello, my name is Zhu Ren. Your husband, Tao Zhi, used to be my colleague. I wonder if he told you about me in the past?”
Tian Tian knew that Tao Zhi used to work in a laboratory, specializing in state-secret projects, but she did not know what he did exactly. What Tao Zhi said was not important anymore, and he would not go back in the future.
The man in front of her looked to be around 30 years old. Coupled with the fact that he had mentioned Tao Zhi’s name, Tian Tian let down her guard against him.
“Yes, what’s the matter?” Tian Tian asked. As she spoke, she glanced at Tan Rou. However, there were too many people and she could not find Tan Rou at the moment.
Zhu Ren had a smile on his face. He reached into the pocket of his down jacket and rummaged through it. “Tao Zhi and I used to be good brothers. When we were in the laboratory, we did experiments together every day. We were very close but after he left the laboratory later, I haven’t heard from him since. I didn’t expect to come back to the Capital for a business trip and find out that he’s already married. Moreover, his family is so rich. This surprised me.”
When she heard the other party mention the laboratory, Tian Tian’s wariness completely disappeared. She knew that very few people worked for Tao Zhi in the past. Other than his family members, there were only his colleagues, so Tian Tian no longer guarded against this man.
“As his good brother, how can 1 not give him a gift?” Zhu Ren smiled and said, “It’s a pity that he’s too busy. I didn’t even have the chance to meet him. It just so happens that 1 met you here today. Then, I’ll give you my present.”
“Thank you for your gift,” Tian Tian said gratefully with a smile.
Zhu Ren rummaged in his pocket for a long time, but he couldn’t find the gift. He slapped his head and said, “Oh, I must have thrown the gift in the car.” Seriously, how could I be so careless? Time was very tight, but I made such a low-level mistake.”
Tian Tian was a kind person. “Is your car far away?”
Zhu Ren pointed at the car by the roadside. “It’s over there.”
“Then I’ll go with you.” Tiantian quickly offered.
Zhu Ren pretended to consider it. “It’s pretty cold outside.”
“It’s alright.” Tian Tian looked outside. “It’s just a short distance away. It won’t be very cold.”
She felt that Zhu Ren was a good person. He even considered whether it was cold outside; such a meticulous person was definitely not a bad person. Hence, she went out with Zhu Ren..
