Chapter 580: New Star in Physics!

Qin Ran looked up and recognized who Scholar Liao was talking about.

Looking down, she tightened her hands.

After a long while, she looked up. “Let them come over.”

With Qin Ran’s consent, Scholar Liao picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. “The old place at the Research Inst.i.tute. Come here.”

He put his phone aside after hanging up. “They’re nearby and will reach in ten minutes.”

Taking a sip of water, Nan Huiyao glanced at Scholar Liao and then at Qin Ran, wanting to ask who they were talking about.

But the atmosphere was a little too serious.

She didn’t dare to ask.

She just exchanged glances with Chu Heng and the others.

Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

Nan Huiyao quickly opened the door.

Five people came in, with weather-beaten faces and plain clothes. They were very clean, skinny, standing straight, and looking graceful. It was obvious they came from good families.

Nan Huiyao didn’t know them, but Chu Heng recognized one of them and exclaimed, “Professor Qi?”

Professor Qi was a well-known professor in the field of physics and could be regarded as a veteran. However, he hadn’t been in the Research Inst.i.tute recently and had gone to teach. Thus, he had been a little obscured in recent years but had already made his mark in the physics world. Chu Heng had a good memory and remembered reading about him once.

He naturally recognized him.

Professor Qi didn’t expect to be recognized by him. He smiled at Chu Heng and nodded at the people inside the lounge.

Qin Ran had become very popular in the physics world recently and had been named a star figure in the new physics world. Almost everyone who studied physics knew the name of this rookie.

The five people, including Professor Qi, all greeted Qin Ran and couldn’t help but exclaim. “You’re Qin Ran, right? As expected, the younger generations will surpa.s.s us in time! Beijing’s Research Inst.i.tute has much to antic.i.p.ate.”

Qin Ran choked a little when she saw the five people.

She lowered her eyelashes to cover her bloodshot eyes. “Professor Qi, Professor Xu…”

She greeted all of them.

The others didn’t entangle much with her. Qin Ran’s reputation had spread widely, and they had already ignored the disputes in the physics world for a long time.

She just glanced at Scholar Liao.

“Liao Gaoang, are you finally telling us where the descendant of your teacher is?” Professor Qi remembered his business here and looked urgently at Liao Gaoang. “Don’t worry, I won’t disturb them. I’ll only listen to it.”

Liao Gaoang remained silent and tilted his head to look in Qin Ran’s direction.

This meant…

Stunned, Professor Qi and the five people stared incredulously at her. It was Professor Xu who spoke first. “Hey, could it be…”

Before Liao Gaoang spoke, Qin Ran lifted her clothes and knelt down first.

She kowtowed at the five old gentlemen and said calmly, “It was my grandpa’s request to first thank you in place of him when I see you.

“I apologize for waiting for you five old gentlemen to come to me for me to thank you in person.” She put her hands on the ground and kowtowed again.

These five people were the only ones who had supported Ning’er among the hundreds of people in the Research Inst.i.tute.

They had all left the Research Inst.i.tute forcefully.

In the beginning, Princ.i.p.al Xu had asked Qin Ran to contact them, but she hadn’t. She wanted to wait for things to stabilize and didn’t want to drag them into the turbulence.

She didn’t expect them to find her instead.

She pursed her lips, hiding the redness in her eyes.

Now, she had Cheng Juan, Giant Crocodile, Gu Xichi, and Chang Ning. It was a little difficult, and they couldn’t protect Princ.i.p.al Xu.

How did Professor Qi, her grandpa, and grandma come to this point when they had nothing back then?

…

“I know. I should have known sooner.” Professor Qi helped Qin Ran up personally. He looked at her, his fingers trembling, and his voice sounding a little choked. “Apart from Elder Ning’s offspring, who else could achieve such a feat in the Research Inst.i.tute at 20 years old? Good child, get up quickly.”

It was already eleven o’clock.

The night scene was tranquil and quiet.

Cheng Shui stood silently and watched.

Nan Huiyao, Xing Kai, and the others also got up and made room for the five old professors.

“No wonder Fang Zhenbo couldn’t wait to take up the post. Elder Xu has also died suddenly…” After confirming that Qin Ran was Ning’er’s offspring, Professor Qi suddenly understood the matters at hand and fell silent.

He thought of the amazing and brilliant patriarch of the Qin family.

His death had been dubious, and Madam Qin had also sacrificed herself for love.

“What did your grandpa call you?” Professor Qi didn’t want to recall this incident. He looked gently at Qin Ran, his eyes full of affection.

“You can just call me Ran Ran, that was what my grandpa called me.” Qin Ran reached out to pour tea for them.

“Okay. Then, I’ll call you Ran Ran as well. Sure enough, you’re the old guy’s offspring. You’ve even surpa.s.sed him. I was wondering how a new star had appeared in the physics world.” Professor Qi couldn’t help but exclaim.

These five people made no secret of their affection and satisfaction for her.

“Professor Qi, I asked the five of you to come here because I want you to return to the Research Inst.i.tute,” Scholar Liao said solemnly. “But before that, Qin Ran, I want to confirm something with you.”

He turned to Qin Ran, his eyes rigorous and solemn. “Elder Xu has pa.s.sed away, so your current situation in the Yunguang Consortium isn’t very good. The Ouyang family and Fang Zhenbo will attack you. As for the Xu family… I don’t think it looks optimistic. If you abandon Beijing now and go directly to Continent M, you’ll have unlimited achievements in the future…”
