Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1427: Prepare early in 1426

“Why is there another patient?” Zhuang Liu asked in confusion, “Is someone from the team you brought over sick?”

Tan Rou replied, “No, their health is all very good; otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought them here. The patient I encountered this time is a significant figure; his life and death are linked to a country’s development.”

Zhuang Liu asked, “Such a key figure, could it be the King of Country J?”

Tan Rou smiled, “My dear Zhuang Liu is really smart, you guessed it right away.”

But Zhuang Liu did not feel relieved after hearing Tan Rou’s words, and he said to Tan Rou, “Tan Rou, I respect your decision, but I don’t want you to treat the King. Just like you said, his life and death are connected to the future of a country, they would definitely be very grateful to you if you cured him.”

“But if you did not manage to cure him, then you would be in big trouble. If it were in our country, we could help you, but overseas, we wouldn’t be able to assist you if something happened.”

However, Tan Rou said quite relaxedly, “Zhuang Liu, don’t worry, I wouldn’t take on this patient if I weren’t absolutely sure of my ability.”

Zhuang Liu was still worried, “Tan Rou, can you manage on your own? Do you need help from someone else? I…I will send someone to assist you.”

Tan Rou indeed needed someone to help her, for instance, preparing medicinal herbs or assisting during acupuncture sessions. She could find people locally to help, but she wasn’t comfortable using people who weren’t from her own country.

With this thought, Tan Rou smiled and asked, “Then, can Zhuang Liu come over to help me?”

Tan Rou was well aware of Zhuang Liu’s thoughts; the two of them had even had a cold war for two days over whether to come to Country J or not. Zhuang Liu eventually gave in, but he was still very worried about Tan Rou; Country J was not like other countries, it had considerable internal conflicts and poor public security, so Zhuang Liu could not be at ease about Tan Rou being there.

Zhuang Liu very cautiously asked, “Tan Rou, are you testing me? Are you trying to see if I trust you or not? I know you don’t like me following you, so this time I won’t follow you, and you don’t need to test me.”

“I genuinely hope you would come over,” Tan Rou said with a smile. “There are quite a few mineral resources here, and you could come over to survey them to see if there’s a suitable mine to invest in.”

The Zhuang family’s company did business in Country J, but had never invested in the country’s mineral resources, so if ever a change happened in Country J, it would be an opportune moment to get into the mineral business.

Moreover, Tan Rou was also planning some things. She had a premonition that big changes were imminent in Country J, and if the area was locked down, Zhuang Liu would definitely be very worried. It would be better for Zhuang Liu to come over sooner so they could face the imminent threats together.

“It’s just that I don’t know if you have the time right now; if you don’t have time…” Tan Rou added.

But before Tan Rou could finish, Zhuang Liu immediately made his stance known, “I have time, I do have a lot of time; I can fly to Country J tomorrow…no, I will fly over tonight.”

Tan Rou chuckled, “No need to hurry, arrange your affairs well before you come over. However, the things I asked you to prepare, you need to send them quickly, send someone over directly, do not use international courier.”

With Zhuang Liu in charge of the Zhuang family now, there was no need to worry about any internal disruptions, and as all external business segments had their managers, it would only require periodic updates to him, and he wouldn’t need to intervene in all the affairs.

If he concentrated on handling his tasks and then arranged for a few trusted individuals to oversee things, then even if he were away for a month, no serious problems would arise.

“Okay, I will have someone send the things over, make sure you receive them,” Zhuang Liu said. “Wait for me, I will quickly sort out my official work, and then come to join you.”

Tan Rou lowered her voice and said, “If possible, you might prepare some weapons; the public safety here isn’t very good, and I’m worried something might happen.”

Zhuang Liu, aware of the poor public safety, didn’t think twice, “Hmm, I will have someone prepare them.”

Since customs are strict about weapons, Zhuang Liu planned to have them prepared by someone inside Country J, and have them delivered after his arrival.

“Hmm, let’s leave it at that for now; go get the things, and then have someone send them over,” Tan Rou said.
