Chapter 629: 629 Someone Following Behind Her
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After buying the robot, Tan Rou didn’t continue shopping with Liang Lu and the rest. Liang Lu and the rest said that they wanted to buy something else to decorate Li Li’s house, while Tan Rou wanted to test the performance of the new robot, so they parted ways.
Tan Rou tried out the robot and of course, she used the trial model on the table. She didn’t use the robot that had just been bought. She just checked it briefly. This robot had a two-year guarantee period, so she didn’t have to worry about after-sales.
“Miss, what do you think of this robot?” The manager of the exhibition area asked Tan Rou with a smile.
Tan Rou gave a few simple comments. “The performance is pa.s.sable. The design is also considered cute. The new custom-made sh.e.l.l is also very good. However, the price was a little too high. When the next batch of products came on the market, we should try our best to lower the price. This robot was designed so that it would benefit more people. But if it’s priced so highly, how would anyone be able to afford it.”
Cold sweat broke out on the manager’s forehead. “Miss, that’s how the prices are set in the Capital. Moreover, our prices are not considered expensive. Back then, the low-end version of the Meng family’s robot was sold for 500,000 each and that was something that…”
“Which is why they are now completely cold.” Tan Rou was not very satisfied with Hang Wei and the Tao family’s marketing strategy. From the beginning, she had said that the price of this robot had to be friendly to the public. If it was not something affordable, it would be difficult to make a lot of money.
“Ummm….” the manager said for a long time, but he couldn’t say a complete sentence.
“Of course, this has nothing to do with you. I’ll tell Dad and the others.” The person Tan Rou wanted to find the most was Hang Wei. What was this kid up to?
After leaving the mall, Tan Rou didn’t take a taxi. She wanted to walk around the city more. Soon, she would be going to school in the capital. Her parents ‘jobs would also be moved to the capital. They probably wouldn’t come back.
Tan Rou had spent more time in the Capital than in this city. However, she had spent most of her time in the laboratory at that time and had no idea what it was like outside. She did not have many memories of the Capital.
On the contrary, this place left a deeper impression on her. The climate here was pleasant and the air was fresher than the Capital. It was a very good place to retire. When she turned old, she would return here and stay at the Jade Water Elegant Residence. She would drink tea and listen to music every day. It seemed like a good plan.
As she walked, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that someone was following her. Moreover, this was not the first time she felt someone following her. Ever since she finished her exams, someone had been following her from behind. However, when she turned around to see who it was, that person had quietly disappeared.
The feeling of being followed today was stronger than before. Tan Rou felt that there might be more than one person following her today. From the looks of it, they were probably about to make a move.
Speaking of which, Tan Rou had not been followed for a long time. When Tan Jing was alive, she always liked to follow behind Tan Rou. Even if she went to the toilet, Tan Jing would go out of the cla.s.sroom door to take a look. After Tan Jing’s death, only Tan Song had followed her once. After that, no one had followed her.
The long-lost feeling of being followed made Tan Rou a little excited. She moved her wrists twice and slowly walked into an alley that was more than one meter wide. There was a lot of junk in this alley, and there were no surveillance cameras.
“Aiya, why can’t 1 get through this path?” Tan Rou pretended to mutter to herself, “Then 1 can only choose another path.”
Noisy footsteps came from behind her, followed by a rough male voice. “You don’t have any other choice now. This is a dead end.”
Four or five men blocked Tan Rou’s way back. Some of them had knives in their hands, while others had casually picked up sticks from the ground.
Tan Rou stood there calmly without moving. “What are you guys doing?”
“Can’t you tell what we’re here for?” The leader of the group, the scar-faced man, smiled.
“I don’t care what you do.” Tan Rou said in an unfriendly tone, “If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way!”
“I’m sorry, we can’t do that.” The scar-faced man pulled out a gun with a silencer from his belt and pointed it at Tan Rou’s forehead. “Because someone paid to buy your life..”
