Qin Ran lazily yawned with the phone at her ear.

She had been busy with her project.

She wasn’t really in the right state of mind. After hearing Qin Hanqiu’s words, she paused for a few seconds before realizing that he was talking about the Uncle who found him.

“No.” Qin Ran stuck her other hand in the big pocket of the down jacket and vaguely said, “You guys can meet.”

She wasn’t interested in that uncle and only had her mind on the research project now.

“Oh.” Qin Hanqiu calmly turned to Butler Qin for a long time before plucking up his courage. “Ran Ran, are you coming back for the New Year? Your Uncle might not be able to rush back…”

“New Year?” Qin Ran raised an eyebrow. “I’ll see how it goes.”

They hung up.

Glancing at her, Cheng Juan carried his suitcase in the other hand and lazily reached out to wrap his arm over her shoulder. He lowered his head and casually asked, “Was it Uncle?”

“Yeah, he wants me to go over for New Year’s,” Qin Ran casually replied to him.

She hadn’t thought of New Year at all and had been focused on the progress of the experiment.

“Do you rarely spend New Year’s with him? Then go.” Cheng Juan smiled and said with principle, “I’ll go with you.”

Hearing this, Qin Ran looked up at him. “You’re not going back?”

She was talking about the Cheng family.

“Do you want to?” He thought hard and frowned. “Then, I’ll go back with you.”

Qin Ran just blankly glanced at him. “Brother, that’s your house.”

On the other end, Qin Hanqiu wasn’t surprised by Qin Ran’s answer.

He took his phone and quickly told Tang Jun about this.

In comparison, Tang Jun was a little disappointed.

“It’s okay.” Qin Hanqiu was very experienced and comforted him. “Uncle, she’ll meet you eventually.”

Qin Hanqiu understood Qin Ran’s character and how she always appeared cold.

But she always saw clearly the kindness other people showed to her. He naturally felt that Tang Jun genuinely cared for them and believed there would be other opportunities to meet in the future.

Tang Jun nodded. He only heard of Qin Ran and Qin Ling’s growth through Qin Hanqiu. “It’s okay, I can see my little nephew as I wish. That’s enough for now. Do you think… you could bring him over to play at my house for New Year’s?” he cheered up and asked.

Qin Hanqiu thought of how quickly Qin Ling was recovering.

It should be no problem to travel far at that time.

Qin Xiuchen couldn’t go home to celebrate the New Year and Qin Ling originally wanted to check out his workplace anyways.

It should be no problem to visit Tang Jun at that time.

This year’s Spring Festival was on the 10th of February. They would visit him after visiting Qin Xiuchen in Continent M.

“Okay.” Qin Hanqiu nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hanqiu looked at Ah Wen. “Don’t tell Sixth Bro about this yet. Xiao Ling and I want to surprise him.”

“The New Year’s ticket is a little difficult to buy.” Ah Wen took out his phone and checked it before looking up at him. “Second Master, there’s something I have to tell you. Continent M is different from Beijing and is very messy. You have to tell the Sixth Master after you arrive and let the crew pick you up…”

“It’s that serious? Then, I’ll see how it is.” Qin Hanqiu flinched and remembered what Qin Ran said. “Ran Ran said she might not be back…”

After such a long time, Ah Wen and Butler Qin mostly understood her character.

Ah Wen glanced at Qin Hanqiu and tried hard to find the right words. “Second Master, can’t you let Young Master inform his sister?”

Wasn’t it good that Young Master’s injury was healed and he went over to her to persuade her?

Could Miss Qin possibly refuse him?

They already knew that Qin Hanqiu was useless on Qin Ran.

“Oh.” Qin Hanqiu reacted. “I forgot.”

“Let’s go.” Ah Wen looked straight and glanced at his phone. “Let’s start the meeting.”

Qin Ran had passed the heirs selection and transferred the shares to Qin Xiuchen, which he then transferred to Qin Ling. The shares would be managed by his guardian, Qin Hanqiu.

18% was a large shareholding, and he was now the second-largest shareholder after Fourth Master Qin.

Thus, he naturally had to participate in the shareholders’ meeting. In the past half month, Qin Hanqiu had developed a general understanding of the Qin family’s headquarters. The Fourth Master Qin couldn’t even make trouble for him.

He already came to the understanding that Qin Ran was only a temporary distraction.

He hadn’t expected a character like Qin Ran to emerge previously, but now that he had a general understanding, he naturally started making plans to deal with it.

18% wasn’t worth scraping meat off his bones.

Fourth Master Qin glanced at Qin Hanqiu with obscure eyes and took out his phone.

Because of the time difference between Continent M and Beijing, Qin Ran and the others returned at 10 am.

Instead of resting, Qin Ran went straight to the Beijing University laboratory.

In the past two days, she was engaged in heavy discussions with Brother Ye and the others and had accumulated a lot of questions.

In the laboratory.

Brother Ye was at the innermost area, looking down to check the results.

Zuo Qiurong was standing beside him.

A few big figures from the Research Institute were in the laboratory, and they didn’t dare talk nonsense.

“Qin Ran isn’t back yet?” Scholar Lu asked Scholar Liao with Director Fang standing beside them.

Glancing at his phone and frowning, Scholar Liao didn’t reply to him and just glanced at Brother Ye.

Brother Ye immediately said, “Little Junior has been communicating with me about the experimental issues.”

Researchers had to endure the boring process of experiments. People like Scholar Liao simply stayed 24 hours in the laboratory.

Scholar Lu and the others all had the intention of accepting disciples, but Qin Ran said she was out to play…

She was gone for almost a week.

She probably seemed very frivolous to them, so Brother Ye was trying to save her reputation.

Scholar Lu and the others nodded slightly without saying anything else.

Scholar Liao sent them out later.

Within a minute, Qin Ran changed into her lab coat and walked in.

She walked to the innermost area with a cold expression.

“Little Junior, you’re back? Director Fang and the others just left!” Brother Ye immediately glanced at the lobby but couldn’t see their figures anymore.

“You went out to play at such a convenient time.” Zuo Qiurong looked up at her and pursed her lips. “I think Director Fang intended to take you as his disciple but didn’t expect you to be overseas. What a pity.”

Brother Ye walked over with a piece of equipment and glanced at her. “Little Junior already has a teacher.”

Zuo Qiurong sniggered. “Little Junior, who’s your teacher? Scholar Liao?”
