“No, how could it be? You must have heard wrong.” Dean Jiang jumped when he saw the Dean of the Computing Research Institute.

He had already experienced Qin Ran being poached by the Mathematics Department when he was the principal of Beijing University. After that, he couldn’t even survive the military training and had to face the situation of the Cheng family snatching her. Hence, he was all too familiar with such circumstances.

He immediately came forward upon hearing the Dean of the Computing Research Institute.

“Really…” The other party hesitated slightly.

Dean Jiang nodded solemnly.

“Okay.” The other party finally looked away regretfully.

Once he had left, Dean Jiang turned sideways and looked at the old researcher. He sighed a little tiredly. “If she really leaves, our Research Institute will be left with no tears to cry.”

The old researcher frowned and looked at Scholar Liao. “What did they mean…”

In his subconscious mind, he felt like Qin Ran would be considered a law-defying talent to have reached such a point at such a young age, but he didn’t think she would easily leave the Computing Department.

“Her affairs are no secret online. Ran Ran is the chief engineer of the Qin Corporation, and the Computing Research Institute holds her dear like a treasure.” Scholar Liao glanced at him. “I also received a letter from Beijing University two days ago. On the phone call from the Dean of the Music Department, he nagged me for five minutes. Of course, if you really don’t like it, Continent M’s Physics Research Institute would be glad to have her.”

Beijing University Music Department’s Dean was a famous music fanatic.

Everyone knew that.

Qin Ran and Jiang Shanyi had well-known reputations in the music world. The Dean thought she was born to walk on the music road.

The old researcher was ignorant about all these and was speechless.

He had never worked with Qin Ran before. Although he had heard of Qin Ran’s deeds, he always thought they had been exaggerated.

Since then, everyone in the Research Institute knew that Qin Ran was highly sought after. Countless people outside were jealous of the Physics Research Institute’s big treasure. Even the old researcher also remained silent.

Originally, because of the Xu family, the researcher had faced a lot of internal and external troubles. After all, Qin Ran’s fame and achievements hadn’t managed to shake the elders.

But now, it was only a matter of course.

…

In the laboratory.

Cheng Juan was leaning against the wall, flipping through literature and occasionally looking up at Qin Ran. Qin Ran didn’t bother going to the lounge today to change into a radiation-proof jacket and stood next to Nan Huiyao and the others while guiding the experiment.

Cheng Juan looked away and continued reading the literature.

Qin Ran had brought the upper part of this document to him before.

Looking at the lower part now, Cheng Juan discovered a lot of details…

In the 76th year of the Yuan calendar, the nuclear reaction in the Research Institute’s Room 1 had failed. There had been 0 deaths and 3 injuries…

At first, Ning’er wanted to go to Continent M’s Research Institute. But in the end, he was expelled from Beijing because of the explosion in the laboratory, during which Fang Zhenbo’s voice had been injured.

There was no trace of what happened back then, but the explosive method…

Cheng Juan tapped his fingers on the page. It was obviously the Yang family’s method.

Ning’er had left a reactor principle on the third underground floor of the Physics laboratory. From then on, he had pried into the metal that inhibited the energy of the reactor, but he had never successfully performed this experiment.

The Yang family’s methods were always vicious. Ning’er probably knew the consequences.

The crater civilization had surpassed this world for more than a hundred years, and the Yang family never would have expected Ning’er to have penetrated the atomic layer long ago.

While Cheng Juan was still thinking of this, Qin Ran had already returned.

She squeezed her wrist and passed the new report in her hand to him.

Putting the book back onto the shelf and taking the report, Cheng Juan asked, “Tired?”

“I’m okay,” Qin Ran said casually.

Cheng Juan held the report in one hand and didn’t turn it over. He wrapped his other arm around her waist and said thoughtfully, “What do Butler Qin and the others like?”

“Butler Qin?” Qin Ran pressed the elevator button and paused for a moment before saying tentatively, “I don’t know, surfing the Internet?”

Ever since she appeared on the show with Qin Xiuchen, Butler Qin liked surfing the Internet with his reading glasses. He had even become a member of her fan club.

Qin Ling had told her all these.

Cheng Juan said thoughtfully, “What about your Uncle?”

He was referring to Qin Xiuchen.

Cheng Juan hadn’t talked much to Qin Xiuchen and Butler Qin and was only familiar with Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling.

“Acting.” As they entered the elevator, Qin Ran replied casually before turning to look at him. “Why are you asking these?”

“Madam.” Cheng Juan stared at her and said slowly, “Did you forget that we’re going to the Qin family the day after tomorrow?”

Qin Ran frowned. Was getting married so troublesome?

…

Two days later.

The Qin family’s house.

Tang Jun stayed at the Qin family’s house for two days and didn’t leave because he wanted to leave with Qin Ling.

“Where’s Hanqiu?” He sat in the hall with Qin Xiuchen and the others, looking out the door from time to time, waiting for Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.

Tang Jun looked around but couldn’t see Qin Hanqiu.

Butler Qin turned, looking complicated. “… Second Master went to buy groceries.”

At 5 am, Qin Hanqiu woke up and asked the servant to drive out. According to him, he had to go to the vegetable market to buy the freshest ingredients.

The Qin family’s chef had all the ingredients already.

Butler Qin actually disapproved of Qin Hanqiu’s going out to buy vegetables.

“Groceries?” Elder Li was stunned.

Elder Li had followed Tang Jun for so many years. The wedding banquet three days ago was the first time he faced so many big bosses. Not to mention that even Matthew alone was enough for him to turn weak.

He was even more shocked than when he found that Qin Ran was an insider of the Yunguang Consortium.

He returned to his senses these two days and mostly understood the Qin family’s status in Beijing…

At this moment, when he heard that Qin Hanqiu, who was in charge of the Qin family, was shopping for groceries, he really felt it was mystical.

“Second Bro has always had such a hobby.” Qin Xiuchen laughed helplessly and glanced at Butler Qin. “Butler Qin, once he comes back, don’t nag at him anymore. He doesn’t even mention moving bricks anymore. It would be unjust to deprive him of this hobby too.”

Butler Qin reluctantly nodded. “You make sense.”

They were still talking when Qin Hanqiu returned.

But he wasn’t alone. A tall figure followed him, a foreigner who was about the same size as Qin Hanqiu.

“Brother Ken, sit down first. By the way, do you have any allergies?” Qin Hanqiu greeted him and let him go in.

He first placed the ingredients in the kitchen and then took out an apron.

Qin Xiuchen, Tang Jun, and the others never expected that Qin Hanqiu would bring a friend back. “Second Bro, this is…”

“Xiuchen, this is Xiao Cheng’s friend from the wedding banquet, Xiao Ken.” Qin Hanqiu introduced him to Qin Xiuchen and Tang Jun with a smile. “I just happened to see him when I was shopping for groceries. He also wants to settle down in Beijing and buy a house. I invited him over for dinner.”

Brother Ken looked up.

Too many people had been at the wedding banquet.

Tang Jun, Qin Xiuchen, and the others had all been at the main table, while Qin Hanqiu, Cheng Juan, Cheng Wenru, and the others had lined up for toasts behind.

Tang Jun couldn’t possibly recognize everyone at a hundred tables.

Like Elder Li, his eyes had mainly been on Matthew and Giant Crocodile, and then on Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.

This Brother Ken had probably been sitting very far forward, so Tang Jun hadn’t noticed him while focusing on Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.

Tang Jun found him weirdly familiar, but couldn’t figure out where he had seen him.

“Xiao Ken, drink tea first. Xiao Cheng and Ran Ran will be here soon.” Qin Hanqiu happily went to the kitchen after asking Brother Ken’s preferences.

Although Qin Hanqiu had brought Brother Ken back out of nowhere, both Qin Xiuchen and Butler Qin greeted him very respectfully.

“Mr. Ken, I’m Ran Ran’s Sixth Uncle, Qin Xiuchen.” Qin Xiuchen introduced Brother Ken to the others in the hall. “I just heard my Second Bro say that you want to settle down in Beijing?”

“Yes,” Mr. Ken said in a not very proficient Mandarin. “Beijing has outstanding people. The city’s very suitable for living.”

“It’s good that you like our city.” Butler Qin brought him a cup of tea and smiled. “If you don’t mind, I can show you around the city and help you pick a good address.”

Butler Qin felt like Qin Ran and Cheng Juan wouldn’t be able to pay attention to poor Mr. Ken during this period of time.

“Of course. Thank you, Butler Qin.” Mr. Ken’s eyes lit up.

While they were talking, Elder Li looked up at Mr. Ken while beside Tang Jun. He and Tang Jun exchanged glances, and finally, Tang Jun asked, “Mr. Ken, may I ask your real name…”

“Kenneth,” Xiao Ken answered casually while talking to Butler Qin about his needs excitedly.

Boom.

Elder Li slipped a little.

He blankly looked at Tang Jun—

What kind of weird species did their nephew belong to? How could he call Continent F’s mafia boss… Xiao, Xiao Ken???

Outside, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran returned with a car of gifts.
