Cheng Juan took a sip of soup and glanced at her. “Are you writing a thesis?”

“No, I’m helping my Dad with something.” Qin Ran typed a few words.

She was writing a cooperation report with Qin Hanqiu.

She needed to consult Lu Zhixin and Cheng Juan on their opinions on several matters.

Suddenly, another thing came to mind.

She quickly sent Lu Zhixin a message—

[Is my official seal still there?]

Lu Zhixin first sent “?”, and then immediately replied “Yes”.

[Do you still remember you have an official seal?]

It was Poppy’s personal seal.

Qin Ran glanced at the message and paused—

[Tell someone to bring it to me tomorrow.]

She put down her phone and continued calmly typing on the keyboard, her expression cold.

She used to feel she had nothing to be reluctant about, so she had been very indifferent about everything. Especially when she learned about Chen Shulan’s injury, her enthusiasm for many things had been completely annihilated.

That included games, 129, and even the Yunguang Consortium…

But it was different now.

She continued typing on the keyboard.

Opposite her, Cheng Juan finished his meal and went to wash his plate in the kitchen.

Although he had eaten slowly, Qin Ran still wasn’t done with the document. Seeing that he had finished eating, she left her half-written document, turned off the computer, and followed him into the kitchen.

Inside, Cheng Juan had already finished washing the plates.

He took a dry towel to wipe his hands clean and paused when he saw Qin Ran behind him.

“Don’t worry about me.” Walking over, he stopped beside her and leaned down to wrap his arms around her shoulders. He seemed to sigh softly. “I had already expected this day to come. It just came too suddenly, and I was caught off-guard.”

He didn’t mention that the situation now was already the best he had expected.

…

Another day passed.

Qin Ran finally finished drawing up all the plans and contracts. She read it again and confirmed that there wasn’t a problem, then printed it and stapled it before going downstairs.

Cheng Mu, Cheng Shui, Cheng Huo, and Cheng Jin were all downstairs.

Only Cheng Tu, whom Qin Ran had never seen before, was absent.

“Miss Qin!” They immediately called upon seeing her.

These four people, especially Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo, were peculiar. They were obviously free and didn’t have any pressing matters, and should be eating and sleeping all day instead.

“Miss Qin, are you going to Yunjin Community?” Cheng Mu knew where she was going once he saw her putting on her coat. “Wait for me to change my clothes.”

Qin Ran sat down beside Cheng Juan while waiting for him.

Not long after Cheng Mu went downstairs, the doorbell rang.

“Who’s here?” Cheng Shui walked over to open the door.

Ever since Cheng Juan’s incident, people in Beijing had been busy watching the show, so Cheng Shui couldn’t think of anyone who would personally come at this time.

He opened the door to see Cheng Wenru standing outside.

Wearing plain clothes and yet exuding an air of elegance, she was obviously not in her best state of mind and looked to have lost a lot of weight.

“Eldest Lady?” Cheng Shui was shocked to see her.

Cheng Wenru was also surprised. “Why are you here?”

“There was nothing for me to handle, so I came back,” Cheng Shui said ambiguously. He turned to let her in and informed Cheng Juan. “Boss, the Eldest Lady is here.”

“I didn’t come to see him today.” Glancing at Cheng Juan and ignoring him, Cheng Wenru turned to Qin Ran and massaged her temples. “Ran Ran, I just heard something about the Qin family.”

The Cheng family had been in chaos recently after Old Master Cheng’s death.

Qin Ran didn’t expect Cheng Wenru to keep abreast of her matters.

“The rumors have even spread to your side.” Qin Ran looked down and buckled the buttons on her coat slowly.

It seemed like quite a few people were waiting to watch the show.

“What the Qin family lacks is more than just funds.” After a moment of silence, Cheng Wenru said, extremely keen to handle this aspect. “I’ll release news that…”

“No need, Sister Cheng.” Reaching out for her documents, Qin Ran stopped her with a warm expression. “You have to deal with the Cheng family’s matters first. I’ll handle the Qin family’s side myself.”

Cheng Mu came back upstairs the moment she finished speaking.

He took the car key.

Qin Ran got up to leave with him and turned back to Cheng Juan after a while. “Have a good chat with your sister.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Juan, who was about to get up as well, paused.

He raised an eyebrow and glanced lightly at Cheng Wenru. “Let’s talk in my study room.”

…

On the other side.

Cheng Mu drove the car safely to the Qin Corporation.

Today was Saturday, and Qin Ling was already in Continent M. Because Qin Hanqiu’s case at hand was problematic, he had come to work at the headquarters as usual.

When Qin Ran arrived, Butler Qin was talking on the phone.

“President Li, this joint venture case…” He was trying to rein in the investors.

They had all agreed to the joint venture case previously.

“Sorry, Butler Qin, but our company’s funds are really limited now…” President Li said apologetically on the other end.

Butler Qin hung up the phone. This was already the third time he had been rejected today.

He knew that the turnover was impossible unless the Qin Corporation faced some changes.

Businessmen all prioritized their own benefits.

This joint venture case of Qin Hanqiu’s carried too much risk.

“Why are you here?” In his hurry, Butler Qin paused and hung up the phone. “Sit down first, I’ll go find Second Master.”

Before Qin Ran stopped him, a staff member hurriedly walked inside and said, “Butler Qin, people from the Engineering Department have left our team!”

Taken aback, Butler Qin paused and nodded. His eyes darkened, and he was speechless.

He wasn’t too surprised.

He turned and was about to find Qin Hanqiu.

Behind him, Qin Ran stopped her. “Butler Qin, they’ve probably already left.”

Butler Qin turned, wondering what she meant.

Chuckling softly, Qin Ran muttered, “I wanted to know what effect the four-dimensional engine would have.”

She handed Butler Qin the document.

For two years, she had stopped her research on the engine. Now, she had picked it up again to try to find out what effects the four-dimensional virtual engine would have.
