Qin Xiuchen and his manager didn’t pay attention to Wang Zifeng’s latter words, and his sentence kept echoing in their minds—

She said she didn’t want to come to Continent M’s Association, so my teacher didn’t force her to and gave the place to me instead…

This might not be a big deal to the manager, but for Qin Xiuchen, who knew a great deal more about Continent M, it was shocking news.

The four major families in Beijing were all thinking of how to open up an economic network in Continent M and wanted to get into the market at all costs. It was the first time he heard something so arrogant… She didn’t even want a place as Continent M’s student…

The manager exchanged glances with Qin Xiuchen.

Wang Zifeng understood his meaning and politely said, “You should be very busy, right? My teacher has nothing to do today, so shall I take you to see him now?”

“Yes, sorry to trouble you.” Qin Xiuchen politely nodded.

Wang Zifeng took them to Master Wei’s office and poured them tea. “Please don’t be so polite with me. My teacher will arrive in about 10 minutes.

“I’ll help you arrange for your accommodations first.” After spending a few minutes with them, he looked at the time on his phone and directly stood up.

He left the room.

The manager held the teacup and blankly stared at Qin Xiuchen as if he had gone silly. “Film Emperor Qin, your niece…”

In China, he had been shocked to hear from Tian Xiaoxiao that Qin Ran was Master Wei’s chief disciple…

But after coming here, personally verifying Continent M’s Association, and the status of Master Wei here…

He knew he had been surprised too early in China…

Come to think of it, Film Emperor Qin would definitely have an easier time finding a teacher for Qin Ling here.

He stiffly took a sip of tea.

In China.

Instead of going to the laboratory, Qin Ran returned early.

Cheng Wenru greeted her on the sofa.

Cheng Juan threw the key onto the table and sat down, raising an eyebrow at Cheng Wenru. “Here to have a free meal?”

Cheng Wenru slightly crossed her legs and ignored him. She glanced at Qin Ran, who was drinking water. “Ran Ran, are you coming to our house on Sunday?”

Qin Ran leaned on the table and remembered this now.

But she hadn’t prepared her gift yet.

She tapped her fingertips on the table and thought about what gift to prepare.

Old Master Cheng liked antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, but these weren’t in her collection. She touched her chin thoughtfully…

Chang Ning and He Chen might have a way.

Thinking of this, she politely greeted Cheng Wenru and went upstairs.

“Our Dad said he would eat an extra bowl of rice every meal.” Cheng Wenru regretfully stared at Qin Ran’s back and folded her arms. “The family doctor was so shocked he immediately wondered if something was wrong.”

Leaning on the back of the sofa and looking away from the staircase, Cheng Juan lazily looked at her. “You came just for this?”

“Of course not.” Cheng Wenru sat up in distress. “Eldest Bro has been in frequent contact with the people in the base recently. He has stopped covering up his contact with our two rising stars in Beijing’s base—Cheng Qingyu and Shi Liming—and is brazenly pulling them in, especially Shi Liming.”

She looked at Cheng Juan’s expression, whose eyes were squinted indifferently. The light in his eyes was faint and scattered, as he gave a gentle “Oh.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Never mind other things. You don’t even care about the base you single-handedly developed. Why don’t you try to win over Shi Liming?”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Juan finally sat up straight.

“It’s best if you can heed my advice.” Cheng Wenru heaved a sigh of relief. “Shi Liming isn’t so easy to rein in. I heard Big Bro has been going at it for months…”

“Say,” Cheng Juan finally had a lukewarm reaction and turned to Cheng Wenru. “Do you have a good relationship with Butler Cheng recently?”

Cheng Juan always spoke out of nowhere.

Cheng Wenru spent about two minutes to figure it out.

Butler Cheng was old and talkative and usually forget things easily. Thus, he recorded things in a small notebook and talked about them from time to time.

Cheng Juan…

Was cursing her around the corner.

Walking over and noticing Cheng Wenru’s expression, Cheng Mu couldn’t help but ask out of concern, “Miss, are you okay? Are you having a conflict with Butler Cheng? He’s old, don’t mind that he’s talkative…”

Cheng Wenru was speechless.

Shut up, stupid gardener.

Upstairs, Qin Ran turned on the computer and found He Chen first.

He Chen was still outside at the moment, and her surroundings were quite dark.

“Antiques, calligraphy, and paintings?” She put down the camera in her hand and pointed the lens to herself. “You can look for Giant Crocodile.”

Tapping her fingers on the table, Qin Ran was surprised. “Giant Crocodile?”

Didn’t he engage in weaponry?

“He has a lot of stuff.” He Chen laughed. “I was a war correspondent who ran on his site for several years, and I once sneaked into his private library. He’s a collector, so you can find anything in his private library. At home and abroad, past and present, as long as he can obtain it, he’ll add it to his private library. He’s definitely the world’s biggest collector. You can obtain anything you want with one phone call.”

Giant Crocodile’s business was illegal and few items he valued couldn’t be obtained by him.

“Ok.” Qin Ran nodded. “I’ll think about it.”

She originally intended to ask them to help her buy something, but Giant Crocodile’s private library…

“Don’t think about it. Although Giant Crocodile’s only hobby is his private library and he treats it like a treasure,” said He Chen calmly, “but you’re a different matter. As his ‘Big Brother’, with one word from you, he’ll immediately open the door to his private library and let you choose all kinds of antiques.”

Giant Crocodile and Lone Wolf had a fateful friendship.

Although Lone Wolf had already forgotten about helping him long ago…

After hanging up, Qin Ran leaned back, deep in thought about Giant Crocodile.

Giant Crocodile’s private library must be his treasure, so she was hesitant.

Downstairs, Cheng Mu called her down for dinner, so she temporarily put this matter down.

On the other end.

Putting the camera on her shoulders, He Chen opened the special software on her phone, clicked on Giant Crocodile’s profile, and slowly sent a message to add fuel to the fire—

It’s time to repay your Big Brother.
