Chapter 1313: I’ve known since 1312

Could it be because she appeared on a live broadcast last time? But that doesn’t seem right either. During the broadcast, Hang Wei didn’t appear, he was always working behind the scenes…

“Miss Rou, you don’t need to be nervous,” Mr. Lin interrupted Miss Rou’s thoughts. He explained, “You must be wondering why I would know you and Mr. Hang Wei, right?”

Although that’s what Tan Rou thought, she couldn’t show it. She just smiled lightly and did not answer Mr. Lin’s question.

Mr. Lin didn’t mind, he continued, “Because I had done some research on Miss Rou and Mr. Hang Wei before. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to this exhibition. After all, tickets for the TR Mall exhibition are not easy to get. My assistant asked many people to help us get tickets, but in the end, we only managed to get seven tickets.”

Tan Rou jokingly said, “If we had known each other earlier, Mr. Lin wouldn’t have had to spend time getting tickets. You could just make a call, and I would immediately bring the tickets to you. As many as you need.”

Mr. Lin laughed heartily, “I had heard Miss Rou was a very serious person and rarely see you smile. But after meeting you today, I think you’re very approachable, not at all aloof as the rumors suggested.”

Tan Rou said, “I am very serious when dealing with strangers, but if I am with friends, I am very approachable.”

She spoke very skillfully. Originally she and Mr. Lin didn’t know each other, but Mr. Lin knew of her, and she also wanted to make friends with Mr. Lin, so she gave him a hint.

It seemed Mr. Lin also came with a purpose. Hearing Tan Rou mention “friend,” he immediately extended his right hand, “It’s an honor to make friends with Miss Rou like this.”

Tan Rou shook his hand and they mutually flattered each other, “To be friends with someone like Mr. Lin is my honor indeed.”

“Actually, I had seen you several years ago,” Mr. Lin suddenly said. “You were attending a certification meeting for senior scientists. The project you submitted back then amazed me. I originally wanted to get to know you right after that meeting, but as you know, there were some issues at that certification meeting…”

No one knew better than Tan Rou what had happened then, “Yes, that incident was indeed quite unfortunate.”

After that bribery scandal, many scientists voluntarily gave up their certification, not just because they didn’t trust the officials but also because they feared it would affect their reputation. If outsiders thought their certification was obtained through bribery, who would hire them? So, the best way was to leave.

“I also tried to find out about you, but there was too little information,” Mr. Lin said regretfully. “By the time I finally learned about your identity, you had already returned to your country, and the person accompanying you was from the Zhuang family. I didn’t dare to approach easily, so I lost an opportunity to get to know you.”

Tan Rou laughed, “Getting to know each other now isn’t too late.”

Mr. Lin said, “Good, since that’s the case, we are friends from now on.”

He shook hands with Tan Rou again.

Laka couldn’t understand the language Tan Rou and Mr. Lin were speaking. He could only understand and speak the language of Country J, so he was very anxious while Tan Rou and Mr. Lin were talking, “What are you talking about? Can’t you tell me?”

Mr. Lin had been chatting with Tan Rou just a moment ago, then he switched his language mode to the language of Country J, “We’re talking about the exhibition. There are many exhibits at this exhibition, and we’ll visit some more in a while.”

Hearing about the exhibits, Laka got excited again. He pointed to the robot he had fancied earlier and said eagerly, “Lin, ask this beautiful lady for me, what should I do to take this cute robot home with me? Tell her, I have a lot of money, and as long as she’s willing to sell the robot to me, I can pay a lot.”

Mr. Lin followed the direction Laka was pointing, and he saw a robot about half a meter tall with a very cute design that indeed was very likable.

“Miss Rou…” Mr. Lin intended to help Laka inquire about the price, but he was interrupted by Tan Rou before he could ask.
