After the new year, all the companies would start work. The other companies in TR were two days late because Tan Rou wanted everyone to rest more. The workload would be heavy for the next period of time.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, Mayor Guo had already spoken to Tan Rou. The first thing he asked her to do was to deal with the cooperation between them.
Tan Rou had already promised Mayor Guo, so she would not reject him anymore.
What Mayor Guo requested was to develop a complete government affairs processing system to help the government improve its efficiency and better listen to the voices of the people.
This wasnât a difficult task, but the amount of work was relatively large. There were many government agencies, and they had to try it out one by one, constantly adjusting the system to come up with a perfect plan.
Tan Rou planned to complete the systemâs testing within a month. She had other projects to complete and did not have time to spend on such trivial matters. If Mayor Guo hadnât come to talk to her personally about this project, she wouldnât have interfered in it.
On the first day of work, Tan Rou brought her team to the site for a field trip. The place they went to was a new office building built by the government. It was relatively large and had a lot of space to use.
Tan Rou wanted to install new equipment here, and the new equipment was also produced by her company.
âXiao Rou, why are you here?â Jiang Min appeared behind Tan Rou wearing a safety helmet.
Tan Rou turned around and greeted her. âSenior Jiang, long time no see.â
Jiang Min looked at Tan Rouâs outfit and guessed what she was here for. âSo Mayor Guo has entrusted this project to you. Then, weâll be working together these few months.â
âWhat are you doing here?â Tan Rou asked.
Jiang Min replied, âMy family has a construction company. These office buildings were built by our company. Since they are the buildings of the city government, our company didnât dare to neglect them. They sent me here to supervise them. The entire building has been built, but the rooms inside havenât been settled yet. We still have some work to do here.â
Tan Rou nodded slightly. âYouâve worked hard too but now that youâre working in the construction industry? Wouldnât your original profession be a waste?â She remembered that Jiang Min had also taken over the familyâs high-tech industry in the beginning. How did she end up back in the familyâs old industry after going around in circles?
Jiang Minâs face showed a trace of sadness. âThe high-tech industry does have a lot of prospects. The current level of technology in the country isnât that developed yet. Even if we want to develop this industry, we canât find the right person.â
âIf I had known earlier, I wouldnât have invited Shang Jin and the others to our company,â Tan Rou said.
Jiang Min shook her head and said, âThis thing canât be made by one or two people. The high-tech industry doesnât just require a large number of talents to invest, it also requires countless funds. My father thinks that this industry burns too much money. If it doesnât succeed, then the money invested will be in vain.â
Tan Rou said, âThere are risks to begin with. No one can say that they can win completely. Only by making bold choices and taking risks can they find a way out.â
Back then, she had spent all her savings to build TR. When TR was first established, there were less than ten people in the company, a few computers, a room, and Tan Rouâs ambition.
Tan Rou wanted to create a one-of-a-kind technology company, and reality proved that she had the ability to do so. Now, as long as it was mentioned, people would immediately say that it was the strongest technology company in the country.
Jiang Min sighed. âI understand what youâre saying, but Iâm not alone. I have my entire family behind me, so I canât risk their future.â
Tan Rou respected Jiang Minâs choice, but she still felt that it was a pity. âSenior Jiang, if you want to return to this field one day, then the doors of TR will always be open for you.â
Jiang Min was very touched. She quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.â âOkay, if I give up on inheriting the family business, Iâll go to you. Please donât chase me out of the door.â
âDonât worry. If you come to our company, Iâll definitely arrange the best seat for you,â said Tan Rou.
âAre you going to make me the boss of the company?â Jiang Min joked.
