She thought about it and added another sentence

[Many people are coming to the Xu familys banquet. You will have big news to dig.]

He Chen was a reporter for all sorts of segments.

She was a war reporter, a paparazzi, and a news reporter

Her presence was felt in most industries.

She would surely like mixing with the Xu family, whose news couldnt be dug often.

Within two seconds, He Chen called. She was also in Beijing, running around for the news. Pressing down her baseball cap, she laughed. You have an invitation to the Xu familys banquet? Wow. I was still worried about how to get in with my identity as a reporter.

After exchanging a few more words, she hung up and stuffed her phone into her pocket. Its Lone Wolf indeed.

Sister He Chen, what invitation is it? asked another reporter beside her.

Nothing much. She flashed him a light smile.

She waved her hands dismissively.

In the laboratory, Dean Jiang and the others watched as the black car left.

He frowned and said in a deep tone, Dr. Zhou what do you think is going on in the Research Institute? Whats with the excessive flattery?

Although Qin Ran had the power, being firmly placed in the deputy second level researcher position from the very beginning was a little too unrealistic

After all, the deputy second level researcher was on par with most old men in the Research Institute.

She was certainly a rare genius in the domestic physics world, but werent they afraid she would become arrogant with such excessive praise and honor at such a young age? What if she started neglecting her experiments

An ordinary third level researcher was her current standard.

Dean Jiang had some doubts about the intentions of the senior staff in the Research Institute.

I dont know. Im not well-informed about the Research Institute. Zhou Ying groaned after a long pause. The deputy second level position is indeed high, and might be problematic if it had been anyone but Student Qin Ran.

How do you know it wont be problematic for her? Who knows if the Research Institute will give her an ordinary second level in the future? Dean Jiang turned sideways with his hands behind his back.

Pausing, Zhou Ying turned to Dean Jiang and coughed twice. Dean Jiang is busy with his business, so he probably wont listen to the gossip online? Student Qin Ran is a smash hit on the Internet. What was it again? Being the founder of the God cards already earned her the reputation of God Qin. Shes even the disciple of Master Wei. If shes so easily led astray with high praises, she wont be Qin Ran anymore.

Although he wasnt certain about the details, he still knew how deep the waters were.

No matter what, if the people behind this really wanted Qin Ran to fail from becoming too arrogant, he could only say that they hadnt investigated all of her deeds fully.

Even while adored by millions of people, QR didnt become arrogant. How could she become arrogant just by becoming a deputy second level researcher?

Zhou Ying sneered

That person might have underestimated Qin Ran.

Dean Jiang definitely wouldnt read gossip, but he had heard others discuss Qin Ran during this period of time.

His juniors at home and the students in school discussed her often.

He had also followed the trend and watched the variety show.

Qin Rans performance had conformed to the norms, and he hadnt felt like it was out of line.

Especially that physics question that made Dean Jiang doubt the IQ of the program group.

He didnt understand the Kyushu Tour but felt relieved after hearing what Zhou Ying said.

He thought of how overly calm and cool Qin Ran had been today.

Qin Ran returned to Ting Lan.

Cheng Mu also happened to come back with Father Lin, holding two bags merrily. He looked up when he saw Qin Ran and Cheng Juan. Miss Qin, take a look at the new species I cultivated with Uncle Lin. Its definitely harder than the previous one.

He opened the bag and carefully took out the flower pot inside to show it to her.

Glancing at it, she thought the potted flower did look a little more energetic.

Youre very talented.

With one hand in his pocket, Cheng Juan also walked over to take a look and laughed softly. Its really not bad. The Lin family has found a good gardener.

Cheng Mu straightened his back.

He solemnly placed the flowerpot back.

After finishing the arrangement, he thought of something. By the way, Miss Qin, someone delivered this in the afternoon.

He handed her a box.

She opened it while heading upstairs. It was the invitation cards from Principal Xu.

She had given him the list in the afternoon.

He Chens invitation was only informed just now and would take longer to arrive.

She went upstairs to change clothes and took out the invitation cards for Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng. Then, she went to the Cheng familys house with Cheng Juan.

Arent you taking a rest? Downstairs, Cheng Juan had yet to change his clothes. He casually poured a glass of water and slowly drank from it.

Qin Ran shook her head. No, Sister Cheng has been waiting for me.

She raised her hand to check the time. It was nearing 7 pm.

Why are you afraid of her? Wrinkling his brows and putting down his glass, he reached out to rub Qin Rans head. He squinted and muttered, Theyre not in a hurry, whats wrong with letting them wait a while?

Cheng Mu had already started the car.

The two of them went downstairs together.

There wasnt a traffic jam today, so they arrived within half an hour.

They walked past the promenade and took about five minutes to reach the lobby.

A crowd of people was already seated at the dining table.

Cheng Wenru, Cheng Raohan, and a few hall masters who werent in Continent M were also there.

Knowing that Qin Ran was busy, the meal was set at 8 pm, so Old Master Cheng hadnt come yet. The crowd gathered together to discuss Elder Xus sudden succession ceremony.

I heard that Elder Xus successor isnt from the Xu family, but from another family. A senior executive frowned. The Xu family definitely opposes him I fear theyre unstable.

Another family? Cheng Raohan paused and looked up at the man. Are you sure? He doesnt want to give such a big Research Institute to Xu Yaoguang, but an outsider instead? he asked in a solemn voice.

What was his intention?

Did he think the Xu family was too powerful?

It should be. The senior nodded. I dont know what the Xu familys intention is In short, two days later, Im afraid the entire capital will be shaken up.

The big families in Beijing had always been very stable and experienced little changes in power.

But Elder Xus successor was an outsider

The entire Beijing was going to be blown up. If it was true, he would wait and see how the heir survived in the vortex. It would be fine if he had a supporter, but if not

As they were talking, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan came in.

Qin Ran held her phone in one hand and the invitation card in the other.
