“Your goddaughter?” Fang Zhenbo’s smile froze. He looked in the direction of Old Master Yang’s gaze and asked, “Who is your adopted daughter?”
There were many people in the direction Old Master Yang was looking at.
Men and women of all ages.
According to Old Master Yang’s age, Fang Zhenbo couldn’t really guess who he was talking about.
“Speaking of which, she’s still a new rising star in the physics world.” Old Master Yang continued smiling and waved to Qin Ran a few more times. “Ran Ran, come over,” he said loudly.
When Old Master Yang spoke, no one dared to say anything, and his voice was heard clearly.
If he called any other name, the people present may be unaware.
However… Qin Ran was recently a popular figure in Beijing. Once they heard “Ran Ran,” everyone turned to look at Qin Ran.
Cheng Wenru, who was drinking and thinking about something, suddenly raised her head stiffly and looked at Qin Ran.
Questions bombarded her mind, but she didn’t know how to start.
Qin Ran held a glass of juice in one hand and her phone in the other. She spoke to Cheng Juan and messaged someone at the same time.
After hearing Old Master Yang’s words, she raised her head slightly in a daze.
Cheng Shui was also stunned.
His eyes were dark and deep.
Everyone in the audience looked over, but Cheng Juan’s expression did not change significantly.
After a pause, he looked at Qin Ran and seemed to laugh softly. “Sister Ran, he’s calling for you.”
After that, he reached out and carefully took the glass of fruit juice from her. He then slightly sighed. “No wonder you said that you didn’t need help to meet your godpa. Go ahead.”
“No.” Hearing Cheng Juan, Qin Ran did not immediately leave. She turned, and he could clearly see her awkward expression. “I haven’t interacted much with him.”
Cheng Juan raised his eyebrows. “We’ll talk about it when you come back.”
“Ah.” Qin Ran touched her ears in annoyance.
…
Seeing Qin Ran walk over slowly, Fang Zhenbo’s mouth was agape.
Old Master Yang’s goddaughter was… Qin Ran?
This was unbelievable!
Fang Zhenbo spun around and looked at Old Master Yang. “Old Master Yang, are you saying that…”
“It’s Qin Ran.” Old Master Yang smiled at him. “She’s my goddaughter and part of your Research Institute.”
Fang Zhenbo was in a mess.
Since when did Qin Ran have connections with the Yunguang Consortium?
Why wasn’t there any news in Beijing at all?
Countless thoughts flashed past Fang Zhenbo’s mind. Although he spent most of his energy in the Research Institute, he also paid attention to the situation in Beijing.
The Cheng family, Xu family, Qin family, and Ouyang family… He had heard about the major events involving those families and had an excellent memory.
He linked them together in an instant.
No wonder Qin Hanqiu was able to fight back and defeat Fourth Master Qin in the joint venture case! He had the Yunguang Consortium’s core members backing him!
No wonder even Ouyang Wei lost to Qin Ran!
No wonder so many forces were protecting the Xu family after Elder Xu’s death!
No wonder Cheng Juan wasn’t worried at all after he fell from grace!
Qin Ran was the Yunguang Consortium’s goddaughter. This explained everything!
“I heard that Ran Ran is going to take over the Research Institute.” Old Master Yang smiled and looked at him. “She’s still young and might need you to take care of her.”
The corner of Fang Zhenbo’s mouth twitched slightly.
Would he dare to refute Old Master Yang’s words?
Old Master Cheng and Elder Xu weren’t there, and he had the power over the Research Institute. However, even though he wasn’t afraid of the Xu and Cheng families, it didn’t mean that he wasn’t afraid of Old Master Yang and the Yunguang Consortium.
Qin Ran was Old Master Yang’s goddaughter. Old Master Yang was someone who rarely appeared in public, and Fang Zhenbo guessed that Qin Ran was very important to him.
If he didn’t explain this matter clearly, Fang Zhenbo was afraid that…
The Yunguang Consortium wouldn’t let him off easily.
He took a long look at Old Master Yang before saying in a hoarse voice, “Old Master Yang, can I speak to you privately?”
“Let’s go over there.” Old Master Yang raised his eyebrows and said something to Qin Ran before pointing to an empty corner.
“You should know that if I don’t have someone behind me, I wouldn’t dare to do this.” Fang Zhenbo paused before saying, “Actually, the person behind me is Mr. Ming Hai.”
Old Master Yang listened quietly with the same expression. “Ok.”
“I will give the seal to Qin Ran.” Although Fang Zhenbo was reluctant, he didn’t dare to do anything reckless at this time.
Everyone in Beijing thought that Qin Ran and Cheng Juan would be slaughtered, but unexpectedly, the Yunguang Consortium came to their rescue!
The two chatted for some time.
When they went back to their original position on the stage, Fang Zhenbo, who was initially domineering, handed the seal to Qin Ran. “Student Qin Ran, the future of the Research Institute depends on you.”
Many people were at the event, and they watched this scene quietly.
Qin Ran took the seal and looked down.
It was a small and silver seal.
“Thank you.” She shook his hand and thanked him.
Her tone was indifferent.
Fang Zhenbo looked at her deeply. At the start, when he first found out about Qin Ran, he knew that she wasn’t simple. That was why he tried to suppress her growth in various ways…
Unfortunately, Elder Xu’s plan was so thorough that, even though he prevented Qin Ran from becoming the apprentice of a Level 1 researcher, she directly became the next head of the Research Institute.
Qin Ran didn’t care much about Fang Zhenbo’s expression.
She took the seal, turned on her phone, and sent a message to Chang Ning.
[Withdraw.]
Chang Ning first sent a question mark and then another message—
[Sure.]
Qin Ran lowered her gaze and looked at her phone. She initially had other ways of getting the seal today, but she didn’t expect Old Master Yang to help her…
She was deep in thought as she stared at her phone.
“God Qin.” Yang Fei came over after seeing the matter was solved and tried to calm himself down. “I heard that you will be finished settling your affairs soon. After that, will you still go for the Kyushu Tour?”
Qin Ran was also in a daze. She hadn’t played any games with Lin Siran recently.
As they knew that she was busy, Lu Zhaoying and Lin Siran did not harass her every day.
Since he suddenly mentioned the game, Qin Ran felt that it was a world away.
“Of course.” She put her hands in her pockets and turned to look at him. “When I’m done, I will play with you.”
“Ok!” Yang Fei smiled. He pulled down his cap. “We will wait for you, then.”
Qin Ran gave him the “ok” hand gesture.
“Yang Fei, do something practical and don’t just focus on the game,” Old Master Yang said to him before looking at Qin Ran. “The Cheng family is sitting there, right?”
Qin Ran nodded.
She took the seal and went back as if nothing had happened.
Old Master Yang accompanied her.
“Nice to meet you, Old Master Yang. I’m Cheng Juan.” Cheng Juan had been observing Qin Ran. When he saw Old Master Yang walking over, he put down his wine glass and greeted him respectfully and modestly. It didn’t appear as if he had fallen from grace at all.
“Third Young Master of the Cheng family.” Old Master Yang looked at Cheng Juan and smiled meaningfully. “Sure enough, young and promising.”
Cheng Juan reached out to shake his hand and said, “I’m not the Third Young Master anymore.”
There were many procedures in the handover ceremony, and countless people wanted to speak to Old Master Yang.
After the handover ceremony was over, Old Master Yang went to inspect the headquarters.
He stood in front of the Research Institute’s gates and looked at Qin Ran. “Do you want to go in and take a look? Lu Zhixin said you haven’t returned to the headquarters in months.”
Qin Ran shook her head and said calmly, “I’ll do it another time.”
She had already told Lu Zhixin about the things that she’d have to settle.
Hearing this, Old Master Yang did not say anything and left with Yang Fei and the others.
“God Qin, we will wait for you.” Yang Fei closed the car door and waved at Qin Ran.
Boom.
The car door was closed.
“We should go back too.” Cheng Juan stared at that car for a long time before looking at Cheng Wenru, Butler Xu, and the others.
Cheng Wenru was staring at Qin Ran, and she acknowledged Cheng Juan when he spoke. “Drive slowly.”
After Qin Ran and Cheng Juan left.
Cheng Wenru and the group of people were still standing at the entrance and contemplating life.
Cheng Wenru had just drunk wine and couldn’t drive. She had also invited two distinguished guests who had come to support Qin Ran, so she couldn’t leave so hurriedly like Cheng Juan.
After some time, Butler Xu found his voice again. “I have to tell the good news. Miss Qin has received the seal.”
After he said that, Butler Xu didn’t say anything else.
He wasn’t Cheng Mu. Cheng Mu had experienced similar scenarios and was very calm.
A few days ago, Qin Ran told him that there would be a few more guests, but Butler Xu didn’t expect that these guests would include Old Master Yang.
“I remember that Miss Qin… used to live in Ninghai Town, right?” Butler Xu looked at Cheng Wenru.
The Yunguang Consortium didn’t even have a headquarters in China, so how did Qin Ran meet Old Master Yang?
Cheng Wenru glanced at Butler Xu and fell silent.
If she said that Giant Crocodile was Qin Ran’s friend, would Butler Xu be able to stomach it?
“Eldest Lady?”
