Tan Rou received feedback from the volunteers every day, especially Grandpa Lu and Grandma Tao. They wished they could write ten pieces of paper a day to tell Tan Rou their thoughts on using it.
One day, Tan Rou was reading her notes when Xiao Ting suddenly brought a newspaper over. âBoss, something happened!â
âWhat happened?â Tan Rou asked calmly.
âCould it be that the celebrity you like has been exposed for dating again?â
Xiao Ting liked to chase after celebrities, but every time she liked a celebrity, that celebrityâs relationship would be exposed. Her colleagues in the office liked to call her âCelebrity Matriarchâ. As long as she liked a celebrity, she would quickly find someone she liked.
âNo!â Xiao Ting became nervous again. âThis time, itâs not my business, but yours.â
Tan Rouâs expression was still calm. She took the newspaper from Xiao Tingâs hands. âIs there another piece of news thatâs bad for us?â
Xiao Ting was stunned. âHow do you know?â
Tan Rou opened the newspaper and glanced at it. Her expression disappeared. âOur companyâs products have quality problems? Heh, if I remember correctly, the robot in the photo is still in the experimental stage, right?â
Xiao Ting kept nodding. âYes, this is the nursing robot you developed.â
âWho took this photo? Which media outlet published it?â Tan Rou asked.
âIt was posted by the Capital Daily,â Xiao Ting said with a troubled expression.
The Capital Daily was the most authoritative newspaper in the entire capital. It had many readers, and 70% of its readers were elderly. The elderly didnât know how to surf the Internet. They were more used to getting news from the newspapers. If they felt that this robot wasnât good, they definitely wouldnât use it in the future.
The vast majority of the elderly were very stubborn. Once their ideas were formed, it was very difficult to change them later.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Since the news was spread through the physical newspapers, Tan Rou couldnât remove the news. The newspaper had been published for ten hours. The public would have seen it.
âBoss, what should we do?â This was the first time Xiao Ting had encountered such a situation. If it was a trending search on the Internet, she could contact the website to block the entry. However, she couldnât do this with the newspaper. The newspaper had already been sent out and couldnât be taken back.
Tan Rou wasnât worried about how to deal with the public opinion this time. She was only concerned about who leaked the news about the robot.
The experiment this time was confidential. Other than those who volunteered to participate in the experiment, only Tan Rou and the others knew about this experiment. Logically speaking, it should not have been leaked. However, not only had the experiment been leaked, but it had also been published by the Capital Daily, causing a certain degree of adverse effects. This was definitely not good news.
Who did it?
âBoss, why are you in a daze?â Xiao Ting waved her hand in front of Tan Rou. âAre you scared silly?â
Tan Rou was just thinking about the problem. âJust wait and see. I think the other party must be targeting our company. Since he dared to expose this matter, he must have some ability. Arrange for two people to go to the headquarters of the Capital Daily to take a look and ask them who reported this news and who submitted it to them.â
âAlright, Iâll arrange it now.â
However, just as Xiao Ting walked out of the office, the phone in front of Tan Rou rang. It was the office phone. The people who called were all here to discuss work, so Tan Rou didnât even think about pressing the speaker button.
âHello!â Tan Rou greeted.
âIs it Miss Tan Rou?â A sloppy voice came from the other end. âMiss Tan Rou, did you see the news this morning? Itâs news from the Capital Daily.â
Tan Rouâs lips curled into a smile. Someone really came to give her a pillow when she was sleepy. She was just wondering who was looking for trouble with her when this person came knocking on her door.
âWho are you?â Tan Rou asked.
The other party chuckled and replied, âYou donât have to ask who I am. You just need to know that youâre in big trouble now.â
Tan Rou laughed too. âDo you think you can threaten me with that piece of news?â
The other party said, âOf course, itâs not just this piece of news. As long as you donât agree to my request, there will be another piece of news that will be detrimental to your company every day. If you donât believe me, you can wait and see.â
