After coming to Beijing for so long, the two only saw Qin Hanqiu during the start of school and had directly avoided him.

She understood her meaning at this time.

Ning Qing instinctively thought that it was impossible.

“Did you see wrongly? How could it be?” Subconsciously, she picked up the cup on the table again, her hands trembling slightly.

Qin Yu was a cautious person and must have confirmed it before telling her with such certainty.

The two sat on the chairs outside, silent for a long while.

After eating in silence, Qin Yu slowly picked up her phone, returned to her room, and closed the door.

Remembering the song Shen Yumin had sent, she put her earphones in and tapped on the music to slowly listen to it.

The song was called Return to Silence.

Clicking on the link and reading the comments, she realized that this was Yan Xi’s early music. Many of the software copyright to his songs had been sold, so one song was useless. Yan Xi had also stated on Weibo that this song was very different to him.

She finished listening to it.

She looked uncertain.

She glanced at the homepage.

Lyricist: Yan Xi.

Composer: Jiang Shanyi.

Arrangement: Jiang Shanyi.

Yan Xi composed most of his songs, and only the arrangement was done by Jiang Shanyi. Some of Jiang Shanyi’s compositions were also very popular on the Internet.

But only this one was known to a minority of fans because the copyright wasn’t open to the outside world.

It was composed more than 4 years ago.

Earlier than Qin Ran.

She turned to the video on Master Wei’s Weibo page again. The section in the middle sounded exactly the same as Yan Xi’s Return to Silence.

A crazed expression in her eyes spewed out like magma. The song plagiarism incident a few months ago had destroyed everything for Qin Yu. At that time, she had been swallowed and paralyzed by the benefits and jealousy in front of her, and she only wanted to make Qin Ran leave. She had basically lost her mind and followed Dai Ran to do a series of irreparable things.

In the past few months, she had looked back on what happened, only to realize that there was a pair of hands controlling the whole thing, pushing her down eternally.

On the other hand, Qin Ran had sat back at ease and was still buzzing in popularity at Beijing University…

Qin Yu sneered at the thought of this and tightened her grip on the phone.

Looking down, she intercepted the two pieces of music and saved them on her phone.

**

Ting Lan.

Qin Ran, Cheng Wenru, and the others were still eating.

Having finished his dinner, Cheng Mu swiped through Weibo and suddenly looked up. “Miss Qin, is your reality show broadcasting on next Saturday?”

Cheng Wenru also put down her chopsticks and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue.

Hearing this, she raised her eyes. “What reality show?”

Cheng Mu handed her the official promotion Weibo of the production crew.

He concisely explained Qin Ling’s affairs to her.

The name of the variety show was <24-hours Idol>, a variety show that revealed the lives of celebrities in outdoor adventures.

Glancing at it, Cheng Wenru saw the preview trailer that had already been released. It was only 1 minute and 30 seconds, and among them, Qin Ran, Jing Wen’s cousin, and the others had few shots. Qin Xiuchen and Jing Wen didn’t have many shots either, and the whole theme was based on a thriller suspense.

The comments below were wonderful.

Cat who loves stars: Ahhhh, this program group is so generous and actually invited the Film Emperor Qin! I can’t wait for next Saturday! Blow up the production crew! Wait for next Saturday!

Little fairy from Brother Qin’s Family: Ahhh!! Film Emperor Qin is an eternal beauty!!

Drunk in the light: The production crew will seriously be impressive if they can invite Yan Xi (haha)

Some people continued discussing further down.

Northwest Wind: Did Film Emperor Qin bring his niece? Does she want to enter the entertainment industry as well?

Jiang Zhou’s War God: I can say with certainty that many people take advantage of reality shows to enter the entertainment industry. Although I want to see Film Emperor Qin on the reality show as a fan, I’m really worried. Especially if he brings a niece who has never appeared in the entertainment industry before. Looking at the trailer, I feel like they don’t look close.

…

The comment section was quickly occupied by Qin Xiuchen’s fans.

Most passers-by maintained a wait-and-see attitude, feeling like Film Emperor Qin’s niece had come out to make money.

Cheng Wenru paused when she saw the words “Film Emperor Qin’s niece.”

She naturally knew that Film Emperor Qin was Qin Xiuchen, part of the Qin family.

Qin Ran’s name had been mentioned by people in Beijing last year. She knew that she was from a small town in Yun Cheng, and her family background wasn’t exceptional, so she had been shocked by her several times after meeting her this year.

Despite the Qin family’s downfall, apart from the Cheng and Xu families, other ordinary families still weren’t comparable.

Qin Ran was Qin Xiuchen’s niece?

She was also in the Qin family?

Cheng Wenru pondered thoughtfully. Qin Xiuchen wasn’t the Qin family’s direct bloodline, and the Qin family was now basically in the Fourth Master’s hands, so she didn’t know which bloodline Qin Ran belonged to…

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan hadn’t mentioned this, so she didn’t ask much.

Smiling, she wrote down the show’s name and returned the phone to Cheng Mu. Then, she expectantly turned to Qin Ran. “What did you do on the show? Was it fun outside?”

At 8 pm next Saturday.

Cheng Wenru noted down the time.

Looking up, Qin Ran slowly took a bite and slowly replied to her, “We didn’t do much, but it was fun.”

“That’s good.” Cheng Wenru rested her chin in one hand, smiling softly in anticipation.

Speaking of this, she also remembered that at the beginning of last month, Cheng Juan had suddenly agreed to go to City C. Cheng Mu had also mentioned that the show recording had been there.

She raised an eyebrow at Cheng Juan.

Looking up slightly with slackened eyes, Cheng Juan just nonchalantly glanced at her. “You should return to the company after eating.”

Pausing, Cheng Wenru still smiled as gracefully and flawlessly. “No…”

Before she could finish her words, she caught a glimpse of Cheng Juan staring at her, and sirens suddenly rang in her mind. She quickly swallowed her words—

Financial deficit warning.

Looking away, she coughed and straightened her back, maintaining her composure. “You’re right. I haven’t been to the company all morning.”

Cheng Wenru was naturally not so idle, but she had stayed for a while out of curiosity for Qin Ran’s assessment process.

Cheng Mu sighed seriously beside her. “You don’t even have weekends.”

Cheng Wenru blankly glanced at him.

He immediately shut up.

After dinner, she rested for 10 minutes, before taking the S card form Qin Ran back to the company. Today was a double break, but for a career woman like her, no day was a “rest” day.

The chef kept their plates after they finished their meal. Cheng Mu went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea for Qin Ran.

Leaning on the sofa with a pillow in her hands, Qin Ran rested her chin on the furry pillow and drank slowly from the teacup.

Cheng Juan sat beside her, his left hand lazily resting on the sofa behind her. He played the game software sent by Qin Ling on his phone with his right hand.

Qin Ling had played this game twice.

Halfway through the game, the game character would fall into the pit and die.

Cheng Juan had raised his eyebrows for the first time.

He had directly closed the game the second time.

He knew that Qin Ling had sent him this game as a trap.

Not bothered about him at this time, he put his phone on the sofa and looked down at Qin Ran. She had fallen asleep, her long eyelashes drooping down, covering her faint bloodshot eyes.

This month, she had been doing experiments like crazy and looking at theoretical contents. She had been even more stressed than while learning the violin during the summer vacation.

**

The list of new members of the major laboratories had been released.

The Physics Department sent the list to the laboratory.

Every year, new members of the laboratory would be assigned to each researcher’s laboratory by lottery to learn the basics.

This year was still a random allocation system by the drawing of lots.

They would be assigned to whichever researcher the laboratory drawn belonged to. If the newcomer was lucky and met a researcher he could connect to, he could even be accepted as an apprentice.

Wednesday night.

Qin Ran received the notification from the laboratory system.

Her random assignment result.

She didn’t really care about the result, since she didn’t need to find a teacher.

She casually clicked to take a look—

She was assigned to Liao Gaoang’s laboratory.

She clicked on his information, which showed his identity: Special Researcher.

Her fingers paused.

“What’s wrong?” Cheng Juan put down his book and looked up after noticing her slightly surprised expression.

Qin Ran shook her phone. “Why is a special researcher in the Beijing University laboratory?”

Shouldn’t he be in the research institute?

“Some experiments must rely on the underground laboratory of Beijing University.” Cheng Juan glanced at her phone and slowly explained it to her. “He’ll apply to be transferred back to the institute. Although he’s not a member of the laboratory, his work station is here, so it’s possible to transfer new people in.”

Qin Ran expressed her understanding and got up.

“Where are you going?” Cheng Juan put the book on his lap, turning the page with his right hand. He grabbed her wrist with his left hand and pulled her back with a little force.

Qin Ran wasn’t in a rush and just lazily said, “Xiao Ling had a question to ask me.”

“Your brother.” Cheng Juan also looked up and took out his phone. “He tricked me yesterday.”

He pointed his white fingers to the game sent by Qin Ling.

He had tricked him twice.

Qin Ran took his phone and clicked on the game Qin Ling had sent him to play. He had added a bug suicide point halfway through the small program game.

It was impossible to survive.

Sitting upright, Qin Ran went upstairs to bring down her computer and started tapping on the keyboard.

**

On the other side.

In Film Emperor Qin’s studio.

10 minutes later, Qin Ling received a message from his sister.

It was a game software.

Qin Ran used to send him games regularly, but after introducing Teacher Lu to him, she stopped. At this time, she sent him a mini-game.

Immediately clicking on it, he sat up straight and played the game, but his game character died.

He froze for a moment.

He exited and played again—

With a move of his finger, the game character died.

He pursed his lips and opened it again and again—

With a move of his finger, the game character died.

The manager, watching him die in succession, finally heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since he played Qin Ling’s game last time, he had started harboring doubts, and only now did he feel Qin Ling was normal.

He leaned on the sofa and smiled. “So you can be a noob at games too.”

Qin Ling was speechless.

He quit the game.

Outside the office, the assistant knocked on the door, brought in a courier, and handed it to the manager. “Your courier.”

The manager took it, surprised at how heavy it was. “I didn’t buy anything. Xiuchen, is this yours?”

Qin Xiuchen was an artist, so the things he bought were usually signed by the studio or his own name.

Turning over a script while sitting on the sofa, Qin Xiuchen continued looking down. “No.”

The manager looked down at the simple and clear express packaging. It didn’t seem like a gift from a fan.

Looking at the shape of the courier, the assistant leaned in and made a guess. “Isn’t it a computer?”

Hearing this, the manager suddenly remembered asking Qin Ran about the computer the other night.

He had also transferred 2,000 yuan to Qin Xiuchen.

Putting the package on the table, he laughed and tilted his head to look at Qin Xiuchen, who was still flipping carefully through the script. “Your niece actually sent me a computer?”

These days, news of Film Emperor Qin’s niece being on-screen had spread on Weibo.

Everyone in the studio knew of her existence and was very curious about her. When they heard that Film Emperor Qin’s niece gave a computer to the manager, they all gathered around and asked him to quickly open it. “What computer did the niece give you? She even especially sent it here. This computer must be extraordinary.”

The manager hadn’t planned on opening it now. He was also a game fan and had all kinds of computers, so he wasn’t too curious about the one Qin Ran sent him. The computer was well-packaged and convenient to take home, but since the others were curious about what computer Film Emperor Qin’s niece sent him, he decided to satisfy their curiosity.

He took a pair of scissors.
