Cheng Juan’s expression…

Cheng Wenru stiffly looked behind her and immediately shut up.

Putting the key on the cabinet and changing her shoes, Qin Ran’s expression was casual and light.

Cheng Juan took out the cigarette calmly and tossed it aside.

It fell into the trash can behind the sofa very accurately.

He scooted aside and gave her a spot. While reaching out to pour a cup of tea, he turned sideways and handed her the cup with his clean eyebrows raised. “Why didn’t you call me?”

His fingertips touched her hand. It was quite cold.

“It was too troublesome.” Qin Ran leaned against the sofa and took a sip of tea. “What were you guys talking about?”

Cheng Wenru lowered her head and only motioned to Secretary Li with her eyes.

“We were talking about Miss Ouyang,” Secretary Li hurriedly said. “Miss Qin, you have been busy experimenting and might not know, but Miss Ouyang is the only intermediate member of the 129 Club. 129 only recruited one person last year. I heard the questions were so perverted that she was the only one who pa.s.sed the entrance examination and was promoted to an intermediate member. She’s very impressive. Master Juan happened to have a problem, so Chairman Cheng was asking him to contact Miss Ouyang…”

At the mention of Ouyang Wei, Secretary Li simply had to admire her.

Not to mention Secretary Li, even Cheng Wenru admired her.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran remembered Ouyang Wei. Back then in Yun Cheng, Cheng Mu and the others had mentioned her several times.

She had heard about her intermittently.

Chang Ning’s selection of members was based on comprehensive consideration of all aspects, and it wasn’t surprising that Ouyang Wei had been recruited by them and promoted to an intermediate member in a short time.

Qin Ran held the teacup in deep thoughts.

Opposite, Cheng Wenru saw that she wasn’t speaking. She turned to Secretary Li and motioned him to shut up.

“Ran Ran, you actually turned out to be Yan Xi’s composer.” Cheng Wenru originally wanted to change the topic, but she became extremely excited at the mention of this. “How did you do it…”

Gathering her thoughts, Qin Ran couldn’t help pressing her temples. She only said a few words before immediately returning upstairs.

Downstairs, Cheng Wenru continued to chat with Cheng Jin and the others about this topic.

**

Upstairs.

Inside, Qin Ran hung her coat in the cabinet and opened her notebook.

The main page was a vast blue sky.

After pouring herself a gla.s.s of water, she sat down in front of the computer, pressed a few keys, and opened her social account.

She logged in and clicked on the resume list Lu Zhixin sent her.

Out of the 31 people, except for a few particularly outstanding ones, all the others were similar.

20 people were chosen for the written test.

After reading all the information, she focused on Ku Ke. His resume was very beautiful, mainly focused on his personal freedom and how he had partic.i.p.ated in many international projects. Qin Ran was also surprised. Qin Xiuchen had high methods and actually managed to invite him over from Continent M.

After reading all the information, she finally chose 20 people and directly sent the list to Lu Zhixin.

Then, she logged out of her account, sat on the chair thinking for a while, before pressing the keyboard again.

The blue sky on the desktop instantly disappeared, and the all-black editor page was recovered.

She drank half a gla.s.s of water and looked at the display screen. Typing on the keyboard with her slender fingers, she typed out a string of commands.

White codes appeared on the black background.

A green progress bar quickly popped up in the lower right corner of the computer, showing—

“29%”

She only stopped after entering all the instructions. Leaning on her chair, she slowly picked up her cup and squinted at the progress bar.

The progress bar slowly rose to 51%.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was a phone call from Chang Ning.

She paused for a moment and then reached out to pick it up.

“Are you attacking our system again?” On the other end of the phone, Chang Ning stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, pressing his aching forehead.

Qin Ran was speechless.

She had done 129’s defense system herself but couldn’t even break it.

She had to ask Chang Ning to do it every time she wanted to check information.

The biggest breakthrough was to surpa.s.s herself and breakthrough 129’s defense system. It wasn’t the first time she did this.

Taking her silence as admitting it, Chang Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You… Lone Wolf big boss, please relax. The children in the technical department were so frightened just now…”

Upon hearing that 129 was attacked and a patch was even added, the technical department had called Chang Ning in a panic.

“Sorry,” Qin Ran said and held up her cup.

“Stay concealed next time and don’t scare them.” Chang Ning, on the other hand, was used to it. 129’s system was originally sponsored by Qin Ran for free. Not to mention other hackers, even Qin Ran herself couldn’t attack successfully. “We can just upgrade the system whenever you succeed.”

More than one or two hackers wanted to hack the 129 headquarter’s system every day.

It was said that this year’s Black Hat Conference was a group of hackers targeting 129’s systems.

Chang Ning had discussed this with Qin Ran, but her hacking skills spoke for itself. She often tried to attack the system not just to break through it, but also to find vulnerabilities so as to upgrade the system before other hackers could attack it.

It was just that this time, her movement had been a little bit… she had scared the newcomers.

Holding her phone with her other hand, she pressed a few keys and dropped the attack. “I wanted to try to find someone.”

“Who? I’ll help you pa.s.s the information.” Chang Ning raised an eyebrow and turned on his computer.

It was Ouyang Wei.

“It’s nothing, it’s okay.” Qin Ran leaned on her seat. “I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up, Chang Ning stared at the phone for a long while, smiling helplessly. He picked up the landline and called the technical department, telling them that it was Lone Wolf testing the safety of the system.

Chang Ning’s original intention was to rea.s.sure the technical department.

Unexpectedly, the technical department… went even crazier.

Qin Ran just dropped her attack and opened the ICNE research folder when the door was knocked.

Three rather light knocks.

Without turning around, she clicked on the database for the last experiment. “Come in.”

Cheng Juan came in with a plate of fruits and placed it on her table. Instead of immediately leaving, he half-leaned against the table, watching her type on the computer, and pausing for a while. “I’m not familiar with Ouyang Wei.”

He spoke unhurriedly.

Qin Ran continued scrolling down the doc.u.ment without answering.

“We’ve never exchanged words before.” Cheng Juan looked down at her and calmly said, “Unlike you, in the cafe last time…”

Qin Ran finally paused and looked up at him. “I’m not familiar with her, either.” She interrupted.

Cheng Juan only casually mentioned it but was intrigued by her reaction. “Really? Last time in Continent M, Cheng Shui told me that someone touched your head…”

He counted with his slender hands, his expression rather indifferent.

He sold Cheng Shui without hesitation.

Qin Ran was speechless.

Far away in Continent M, Cheng Shui was browsing his mail when his computer screen suddenly turned black.

20 minutes later, Cheng Huo, who was asked by Cheng Shui to repair his computer, sent a picture to the group chat—

Cheng Huo: [(Picture)]

Cheng Huo: [Cheng Shui was watching p.o.r.n!!!]

Cheng Mu: [???]

Cheng Jin: [What genre?]

Cheng Tu clicked on the screenshot and couldn’t help but send an “impressive” emoji before saying: [I couldn’t tell. Cheng Shui, you appear so dignified, but you actually value such small films.]

Cheng Shui: […]

At the Qin family’s headquarters.

Sitting at the table, the Fourth Master’s expression slightly changed after listening to his subordinate’s report. “Does Qin Ling really have such a talent?”

“It’s true.” The man lowered his head.

“No wonder…” He tightened his grip on the files and looked up with sharp eyebrows. “No wonder Butler Qin has been so strange recently. I thought he had given up struggling.”

The subordinate was concerned. “Fourth Master, what should we do now? If Qin Ling pa.s.ses, according to the regulations, 10% of the shares in the headquarters will be transferred to him. It’ll be even more difficult for us to move him then.”

The Fourth Master tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while before saying, “Call Qin Zhao over.”

Qin Zhao was a young descendant of the Qin family with outstanding talents, much better than the direct descendants of the Fourth Master.

“You mean…” The subordinate thought for a moment and understood his meaning.

The Fourth Master nodded silently.

Nodding in understanding, the subordinate went out to find Qin Zhao.

In the study, the Fourth Master slowly smoothed out the doc.u.ments. He didn’t expect Qin Ling’s talent, but now, he could make use of Qin Zhao…

He could kill two birds with one stone.

Without Qin Ling, Butler Qin’s direct descendants weren’t to be feared.
