Upon seeing Cheng Wenrus gaze, Butler Xu couldnt help but call her.

Cheng Wenru returned to her senses and shook her head. She originally wanted to learn from Cheng Juan and ask Butler Xu if his heart was okay.

But at the thought of Old Master Cheng, her mood was dampened again.

She looked at the heads of the family business behind her and said softly, Butler Xu, it seems like youre going to be busy again.

Ever since Old Master Xus death, these people had avoided the Xu family and had made friends with the recently emerging Qu family.

Who knew that Qin Ran would face such an incident today.

Butler Xu sighed ruefully and responded calmly.

Even if the Old Master is watching from above, he might not have expected this. Butler Xu got into the car after a tiring day. He looked far into the distance and muttered, He had always planned to pave the way for Miss Qin. Who knew that in the end, the Xu family is leaning on Miss Qin.

Butler Xu sighed sorrowfully.

Beside him, the elder nodded. Old Master Yang asked Miss Qin to visit the headquarters. Ive long heard of the Yunguang Consortiums strict management. Do you think Miss Qin is from the Yunguang Consortium

Besides managing the senior management of the consortium, the elder couldnt think of why Old Master Yang would let Qin Ran inspect the headquarters.

But

At the thought of this, he shook his head. I must be thinking too much.

Qin Ran returned to the manor and headed to the study room upstairs with Cheng Juan.

Are they okay? Cheng Jin didnt go with Cheng Shui today and didnt know what happened as he glanced at the study room.

Cheng Shui shook his head thoughtfully. When he spoke, his eyes looked complicated. Im afraid something happened.

It was rare to see such a solemn Cheng Shui.

Cheng Mu and Cheng Jin both came over, and Cheng Jin put down the computer he was holding. Something happened to the Research Institute? Ill resolve it.

No. Shaking his head, Cheng Shuis eyes drifted away. We just saw Miss Qins Godpa.

Miss Qins Godpa? Cheng Jin nodded and eased his nerves. Based on your reactions, he probably isnt an ordinary person. Tell me, who is he? He cant possibly be Giant Crocodile.

He felt like his ability to bear the news was high enough.

Cheng Shui spoke neither lightly nor seriously, Old Master Yang from the Yunguang Consortium.

Cheng Jin:

He blankly wiped off the water that had accidentally sprayed on the computer screen.

They were immediately silent.

Upstairs in the study room.

Qin Ran waited for Cheng Juan to interrogate her about Old Master Yang.

Fire away. She kicked the door.

Pulling the chair opposite Cheng Juan, she sat down casually and raised her chin coolly.

She didnt seem to be struggling anymore.

Cheng Juan took a pen and put his hand idly on the table before looking calmly at her. Have you contacted Little Aunt?

Qin Ran had been prepared to tell him everything about Old Master Yang.

Who knew hed mention Ning Wei all of a sudden?

Not yet. Ill go to Yun Cheng to pick her up after I finish my business with the Xu family. Little Aunt has a stubborn personality, it wont be easy to persuade her to come to Beijing. Qin Ran tapped her fingers on the table, already determined to fight her aunt.

The corners of Cheng Juans lips raised, and he looked at her. Okay, Ill wait for you in Beijing.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran suddenly raised her head to meet his eyes. She continued tapping her fingers on the table. Are you staying here?

Well, someone must stay behind. Cheng Juan put down the pen and stood up. He then turned to look at her with calm eyes. A smile emerged on his face when he saw Qin Ran deep in thought. Taking two steps outside, he held the armrest on both sides of her chair with his hands and leaned in slightly to bump his forehead against hers. Looking into her eyes, amusement seemed to flash in his eyes. Go and bring Little Aunt back.

She was returning to Yun Cheng.

Qin Ran had been working overtime these days to deal with the Research Institute and the Xu familys affairs. Even with Cheng Juans help, she hadnt had much rest recently.

Her relationship with Old Master Yang had been publicized within the circle. The secrets in the circle had all been exposed, and anyone higher up in the pyramid already knew of this matter.

Beijings pattern had moved again as a result.

The originally crumbling Cheng and Xu families not only stabilized but also had more intimate connections with Continent M. This meant that they had climbed up another level.

Qin Ran was even more in full swing.

Ming Hais plan was completely disrupted.

Beijing Financial Center.

In Old Master Yangs office.

Standing in front, Ming Hai said straightforwardly, Elder Yang, you know why Im here, right?

I already told you, Qin Ran cannot be separated from the Yunguang Consortium. She holds a very important position inside. Old Master Yang slightly pursed his lips, and the usual smile on his face faded.

Qin Ran and Lu Zhixin both played irreplaceable roles in building the Yunguang Consortium to its current glory.

Then what if I tell you, Qin Ran isnt only Ningers offspring, but she also has the contents of Ningers research at that time. Ninger didnt destroy the documents at all and led an empty city plan, Ming Hai said calmly as he held a teacup.

Upon hearing this, the originally indifferent Old Master Yang suddenly paused.

He stood up with his hands on the table and looked at him, his eyes bright and clear. Is the news true?

What good would it do me to tell you fake news? Ming Hai continued smiling. You can also check Ningers offspring carefully in Yun Cheng.

Old Master Yang sat back down on his chair and obscurely glanced at him. If its true, why are you kindly telling me?

Old Master Yang, its up to you to believe it or not. Ming Hai was in no hurry. He patted his sleeves and calmly stood up. You can also choose not to believe me.

Without waiting for Old Master Yangs reply, he waved his hand. Goodbye.

When he left, Old Master Yang couldnt shake off the thought. He had to admit that Ming Hai had indeed poked at his sore spot. He sat at his desk for a while before he took his phone and called his secretary. Check Ningers family in Yun Cheng thoroughly.

Old Master Yang had his own intelligence bureau.

Within half an hour, the secretary knocked on the door and came in. Chairman Yang, this is the document from the technical department.

He looked a little hesitant.

Bring it here. Old Master Yang reached out for it. Was there a problem with the Ning familys information?

Yes, there was, but something isnt right. Youll understand when you look at it. The secretary took out the documents.

Old Master Yang turned it over, and his eyes became downcast.

There werent many people in the Ning family, so the information only added up to two pages.

The information couldnt be more simple.

Ning Wei

Female

Height: 168 cm

Former chemical plant worker

Ning Qing

Female

Height: 170 cm

Lin familys Second Wife

Qin Yu

Female

Height: 167 cm

There was nothing more than these.

It was terrifyingly simple.

At the same time.

Overseas.

Slag Dragon got onto the plane, wearing worn-out shoes and sitting by the window with a computer on the small table.

He tapped the enter key and then snapped his fingers before saying into the headset. Done.

On the other end, Qin Ran said in a cold voice, Thanks.

Small problem. I heard from Boss Ning that you know Matthew. Slag Dragon crossed his legs, his worn-out shoes dirty and torn. The plane was full of foreigners, so he spoke Chinese indifferently. Help me persuade him not to catch me.

On the other end, Qin Ran was still in the research room. She handed a document to Nan Huiyao and rubbed her forehead upon hearing this. What did you do?

Nothing. I only helped Giant Crocodile transfer a few gadgets. Slag Dragon snorted. Matthew chased me so hard but still couldnt catch me. He doesnt even know who I am yet. Whats the point? He even delayed my clubbing and racing.

Dont be too arrogant. Qin Ran took a cup and filled it with water.

Im not, Slag Dragon said humbly, then thought of something else. Ive brought back the thing you wanted. Ill give it to you when I return.

Youre just in time. Qin Ran would return to Yun Cheng tomorrow. She finished drinking the water and put the cup down. See you at Chang Nings.

Okay. Slag Dragon hung up.

On the other end, Qin Ran checked the time. It was 6 am now. Slag Dragon wouldnt arrive until 3 pm.

She settled down and devoted herself to the research.

At three oclock in the afternoon.

Ran Ran. Nan Huiyao came over with the recorded points. Look at the dosage. I adjusted it several times, but it was still wrong.

Qin Ran was currently working on Plan B in cooperation with Continent M.

She also had an office now. Chu Heng, Nan Huiyao, Brother Ye, and Xing Kai were all there with Scholar Liao.

Im going out tomorrow. Plan Bs progression is at a critical moment. Finishing her work, Qin Ran turned to Scholar Liao. Scholar Liao, please take care of them.

This Plan B wasnt just Qin Rans first project after she took office, but was also the key to Nan Huiyao and Brother Yes climbing up the ladder.

Even the first-level researchers of the Research Institute wanted to participate in this project. Fang Zhenbo challenged Qin Ran also because he wanted this project, which proved its importance.

However, Qin Ran was just too stubborn. She had chosen the team at the beginning, and it was very difficult to change it halfway.

She couldnt screw up now.

Scholar Liao looked down and quickly read the research conclusion Qin Ran just printed out. He waved his hand casually and nodded. Okay.

The others in the research room were also busy with their research and hardly had time to talk to her.

Rubbing her nose, Qin Ran took her phone to find Chang Ning.

She took a cab to Chang Nings place.

The taxi waited for her to get out, but before it completely stopped, she opened the door and left.

Qin Ran pulled up the mask on her face and directly walked towards 129.

Five minutes later.

In Chang Nings office.

Slag Dragon was two minutes earlier than her and was already talking to He Chen.

His eyes lit up when he saw Qin Ran coming in. First, he stammered a greeting, then took out something from his pocket and threw it at her. Here it is.

Without looking at it, Qin Ran raised her hand and accurately caught it with her hand.

Whats that? He Chen put down his cup and looked towards her.

Lowering her eyes, Qin Ran opened the palm of her hand

It was a golden mobile phone card.
