Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

247 247 The Powerful Xiao Rou

The auntie was skeptical. When her daughter Zhang Huan got home, she grabbed her and asked, “How did Tan Rou do in your class last time?”

Zhang Huan was confused. “Mom, why are you asking about this?”

The auntie said, “Last time, you ranked fifth in class and 47th in your entire grade. I was so happy that I told everyone about it. I didn’t expect Tan Rou’s mother next door to say that Tan Rou ranked first in the grade. Tell me, is it true?”

Zhang Huan had a gloomy expression on his face. It was fine if others got first place, but Tan Rou had gotten first place in the monthly and weekly exams consecutively, which made her very unhappy.

“She was. Why are you still asking me when you already know about it?” Zhang Huan said impatiently.

When the auntie heard this, she tugged Zhang Huan by the ear. “Tan Rou has been last every year and even got first place. Why can’t you try harder?”

Zhang Huan was in pain. “Her mother gave birth to her with such good-looking features. Why can’t you give birth to me with better features?!”

The auntie was furious. The mother-and-daughter duo then had a show-off in the house.

Mrs. Tao moved all the packages to Tan Rou’s room. The items inside were quite heavy and marked as ‘Fragile.’ It seemed that they were valuable items.

“Rourou, what did you buy?” Mother Tao wiped her sweat.

“Why is it so heavy?”

Tan Rou looked at her mother, who was sweaty and vexed. She should have moved it herself. How could she let her mother do it?

“Mom, in the future, when my delivery arrives, just help me put it at the entrance. I’ll carry it myself. Look at how tired you are. Hurry up and wipe your sweat.” Tan Rou wiped away the sweat on her mother’s forehead.

“Silly child, how could I let you move these?” Mrs. Tao said with a gratified expression.

“Moreover, this thing isn’t light. I’ve been heartbroken to see you exhausted.”

Tan Rou’s heart felt warm. She hugged Mrs. Tao and said, “My heart will ache too when I see you’re tired.”

“What did you buy?” Mrs. Tao asked, patting Tan Rou’s shoulder.

Tan Rou let go of her, picked up a pair of scissors, and opened a package. Inside was a large black rectangular box.

“It’s a spare part for a computer.” Tan Rou said, “I need a computer, but I don’t like the computers already assembled on the market. Moreover, the performance is not good enough, so I bought my spare parts and assembled a computer with better hardware.”

Mrs. Tao knew nothing about computers. To her, those who knew how to use computers were very smart.

“Our Xiao Rou is really amazing!” Mother Tao looked at her daughter in surprise. “Why do I feel like you know everything?”

It wasn’t that Tan Rou wanted to know everything, but if she wanted to stay alive, she had to know all these.

“What are you guys doing here?” Tao Qi came over to take a look. “I heard a clanging sound in the room just now. Is the floor being dismantled?”

“Your sister is assembling a computer.” Mrs. Tao told his younger son about what was happening.

Tao Qi was very surprised. “You know how to assemble computers?”

Tan Rou put down the tools in her hands. “Please pass me the spiral screwdriver.”

Tao Qi subconsciously handed it to her and squatted on the ground as he watched her assemble the computer. He realized that she was skilled, as if she designed every component. She never took it off after putting it on.

Tan Rou had prepared two computers. One was a desktop computer for home use, and the other was a portable laptop. Sometimes, she needed two.

After working for a long time, Tan Rou finally equipped her computer. She turned it on and installed a system first, followed by some software.

“Does your computer really work?” Tao Qi asked as he waited for the computer to load.

“Why would I install a computer that can’t be used?” Tan Rou asked.

Tao Qi didn’t mean that. He didn’t trust Tan Rou. How could a high school student assemble a computer by herself? He felt he was already smart enough, but Tan Rou was smarter than him. The last time he lost to Tan Rou, it only gave him a rough idea. This time, he completely realized that this person was completely different.”

“Were you pretending to be stupid in the past?”

“There’s no one stupid in our family.” Tan Rou said with a smile as she rubbed his head.

She managed to fool Tao Qi as he proudly raised his face and said, “That’s true!”
