Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1147: 1146 Building a Mall
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The work at the government building had been put on hold. Tan Rou had not started school yet, so she still had about a week to deal with her new work. She had originally planned to deal with other things after the work at the government building was over. Now that she had time, she could start building the shopping mall.

The merchants in the mall had not moved out yet. Business was not good these days. If they moved out, they did not know where they would go. Therefore, they stayed in the mall and wanted the new boss to sign a new contract with them.

Tan Rou didn’t rent the mall. She bought it, which meant she was the new boss. Moreover, most of the merchant’s contracts had expired. She did not choose to renew them, so these merchants had to leave.

Under normal circumstances, if the merchants refused to leave, the boss could use some means to protect their rights, such as cutting off the electricity and water in the mall. Tan Rou could do the same, but she didn’t choose such an extreme method. Everyone had a hard life, so she preferred to solve the problem in a gentle way.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Tan Rou and the representatives of the merchants met at the coffee shop on the top floor of the mall. There were four merchants in total, two men and two women.

There were only two people on Tan Rou’s side. She did not bring Hang Wei over. Instead, she brought her assistant, Xiao Ting. Xiao Ting was a little nervous because they were both girls and there were four of them. If they fought, the two of them would definitely be at a disadvantage.

“Boss, why don’t we call a few more people over?” Xiao Ting sat on the sofa chair, but her legs were constantly trembling.”

“There are so few of us. If we fight, we definitely won’t be able to defeat them. I’ve seen the representative from the other side last time. He’s very fierce and tall. Those two women are also a bit taller than us.”

Tan Rou was already considered tall among the girls, but the two female representatives were even taller. They were both members of a basketball club on the second floor. They were not short when playing basketball, and their physiques were very strong. It was not surprising that Xiao Ting was afraid.

“If you’re afraid, you can go back first.” Tan Rou sipped her coffee elegantly

” The coffee here is not bad, and the desserts are also quite delicious. You can pack a few portions and bring them back. Keep the receipt, I’ll reimburse you tomorrow.”

Xiao Ting was a little anxious. “Boss, how can I leave you here alone? Although I was a little scared, the two of us were better than staying here alone. Don’t worry, if they come to hurt you, I’ll definitely stand in front of you.”

Tan Rou smiled. “That small body of yours can’t even withstand a punch from me. How can you stand in front of me? If they start fighting later, find a place to hide. I’ll deal with them.”

Xiao Ting was not an outstanding person, but she was very meticulous and willing to work hard. Therefore, Tan Rou liked her very much. Otherwise, she would not have kept her by her side as an assistant.

Tan Rou didn’t need Little Ting’s protection, but when she heard Xiao Ting say that she wanted to stand in front of her, she was still very touched.

“Boss, I will definitely protect you well.” The hot-blooded Xiao Ting said.

Tan Rou was Xiao Ting’s idol. Protecting her idol was something she should do.

“Sure.”

Tan Rou took a sip of coffee and did not reject Xiao Ting’s protection. She had to be careful later. If the situation didn’t look right, she had to let this little girl go quickly. She was here to negotiate and couldn’t let her employees get hurt.

Just as Tan Rou was about to finish the cup of coffee before her, the representatives of the merchants finally arrived. Each of them had a serious expression on their faces, as if they were not here to negotiate, but to cause trouble.

Xiao Ting’s heart was beating very fast. “They’re here! Boss, I… I’ll protect you!”

Tan Rou chuckled and stuffed a cup of hot cocoa with a lot of sugar into Xiao Ting’s hands. “Have some drinks to calm yourself down. Don’t be too nervous. I’ll take care of everything.”

The four representatives walked up to Tan Rou. It wasn’t their first time meeting her, but it was their first time talking to her. “Are you the president of TR?”

“Yes. I’ll be the boss of this mall in the future,” Tan Rou said lightly.
