Chapter 1079:1079 Arrogance

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Under the attention of the entire country, the science and technology exchange finally kicked off. Mayor Guo personally delivered a speech, and many important government officials and business leaders also attended the opening ceremony of the exchange.

Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi were also invited. They were the representatives of the Zhuang family and the Tao family. Zhuang Liu was the head of the Zhuang family, and if there were no accidents, Tao Zhi would be the next head of the Tao family.

Tan Rou sat in the crowd and took photos of Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi. In the past, she didn’t understand why people were so keen on taking photos, but now she understood that taking photos and videos was to retain beautiful and important moments like these.

Zhuang Liu liked to take photos of Tan Rou. Tan Rou often caught him secretly taking photos of her. She asked Zhuang Liu why he liked to take photos of her, and Zhuang Liu said that it was because Tan Rou was better looking.

What he said was true, but more importantly, he wanted to record every minute and second of him and Tan Rou together.

After Zhuang Liu finished his speech, Tan Rou put away her camera. She did not have the hobby of being a photographer for others. When he got off the stage, Tan Rou quietly waved at Zhuang Liu and asked him to sit beside her. Zhuang Liu left Tao Zhi and turned to sit in the audience.

Tao Zhi, who was still sitting beside the stage, watched helplessly as Zhuang Liu walked away. He thought to himself that Zhuang Liu was evil. He ran away without telling him. Now, he was sitting alone with this group of old men and women. It was really too awkward.

Zhuang Liu naturally noticed that someone was staring at him. After he sat down, he pointed at Tao Zhi and said, “Xiao Rou, look at Big Brother’s expression. He must want to give me a good scolding right now.”

Tan Rou chuckled. “Big Brother walked too fast when he went down. I didn’t even have time to give him a hint. He just sat over there.”

Zhuang Liu raised his eyebrows and gloated. “Just let him continue talking to those old men and women.”

Another person gave a speech on the stage. This person had golden hair and green eyes. He was obviously a foreigner.

Zhuang Liu quietly introduced the blond man on stage to Tan Rou. “This man is Ed Smith, from D Nation.”

Tan Rou was a little confused. “Is he here to participate in the seminar too?”

Zhuang Liu nodded and said, “Yes, Ed’s company’s research and development in the field of robots is very outstanding. We invited him here, so he must have brought his own company’s products. After the opening ceremony, we can go over and have a chat with him to see if we can negotiate a cooperation.”

Tan Rou glanced at the man who was speaking fluently in Chinese on stage. She felt that his tone was very arrogant. “Ah Liu, do you have any cooperation with this Mr. Ed?”

“No, I haven’t.” Zhuang Liu was a little regretful. “I once sent someone to contact him, but he’s a very arrogant person. He doesn’t like to communicate with laymen like us, so we didn’t manage to negotiate a cooperation.”

Tan Rou was quite interested in this man. She wasn’t interested in him as a person but in their company’s products.

The development of science and technology abroad has always been better than those in their countries. Many sophisticated instruments could not be bought in China and had to be bought abroad. However, everyone was competing for benefits. Very few people were willing to sell their core technology to others, especially to people from other countries.

If Tan Rou wanted to get in touch with a foreign company, Ed would be a good candidate.

The reputation and strength of TR Company in the country were already strong enough. A few days ago, Tan Rou had even discussed a few collaborations with Mayor Guo. Although it had not been officially announced yet, when Mayor Guo’s documents came out, TR Company would appear in the domestic newspapers.

What Tan Rou lacked now was a foreign market. Competing with strong people would help her improve. If TR wanted to develop better, it had to integrate with the international community.

“Forgive me for being blunt, but there’s nothing I’m interested in at this exchange…” The words on the stage interrupted Tan Rou’s train of thought. She frowned and looked at the man on the stage. The man continued to say, “I hope that there will be something I’m interested in at the next exchange.”

Tan Rou was a little unhappy. This man was too arrogant.
