Chapter 497 - Obvious Rejection
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Continent M.
After hanging up, Butler Qin quivered in the cold, doubting what he just heard.
After a while.
Walking over after the filming, Qin Xiuchen reached out to pick up the coat on the chair. His assistant quickly passed him a bottle of water.
“What’s the matter?” He put on his coat casually and took a sip of water.
“No… your niece…” The manager looked up and stared at him before finally sputtering, “Is she perverted?”
Hearing this, Qin Xiuchen paused with the bottle in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
The manager searched for a long time before finding the right words to describe Qin Ran. “The Old Master from the Xu family had targeted her for the Research Institute’s heir since four years ago. I heard he even stayed in Yun Cheng for three years because of her. Tell me, how perverted is she?”
After the Qin family’s heir assessment last time, he already felt she shouldn’t study physics.
After all, her unprecedented high score in physics was too wasteful there. But now, he realized her physics talent might be on par with her computing…
She excelled in both, wasn’t she a pervert?
Qin Xiuchen’s assistant was also familiar with the forces in Beijing. He immediately knew who Elder Xu was.
He came to a quick realization. “No wonder she went to learn physics despite how good her computing and music talents are.”
They both turned to Qin Xiuchen at the same time. “Film Emperor Qin, are you alright?”
He lightly glanced up at them, speechless.
He looked rather calm.
Looking at the calm Qin Xiuchen, the manager slightly raised an eyebrow.
A leading actor on the other side came to find Qin Xiuchen to discuss the script. Qin Xiuchen nodded and walked over.
Staring at his back for a long time, the manager couldn’t help but smirk. “I thought he was calm…”
He was walking with stiff legs, what a rare sight.

In Beijing.
Ting Lan Apartment.
Qin Ran just came back.
While talking to her, Cheng Wenru crossed her legs. “Are you going to Continent M again? Be careful, I seemed to hear from the First Hall Master that it hasn’t been peaceful there recently.”
Cheng Mu saw them and quickly went to the kitchen to pour water.
First, he poured a cup for Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru. Qin Ran took a sip and nodded slightly at him.
Cheng Juan took off his jacket, still pinching his phone with his fingers.
Hearing this, he glanced at Cheng Wenru, about to say something, when his phone rang.
It was Continent M’s number.
He casually looked down and went upstairs to take the call while they were still talking. “Chairman Tang,” he said in a low voice.
It was Tang Jun who called.
His voice was a little heavy. “Where have you been recently?”
Entering his study and closing the door, Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow. “Beijing. I’ll be going to Continent M in two days. Something happened to your hand again?”
“You’re smart.” On the other end, Tang Jun stood by a tree and lit a cigarette. “Since I haven’t made a move in a few years, Black Eagle should probably have figured out what happened to me. He wants the position of the Chairman.”
Tang Jun’s hand had been injured a few years ago, and Cheng Juan had helped do an operation on him.
Although it seemed to be intact now, in fact, the sensitivity wasn’t as good as before. This level was naturally insignificant to ordinary people, but to Tang Jun… he was a hacker, so his hands and the computer were equivalent to his life.
His hands had too much influence on his strength.
But he had been hiding it.
Although he was the President of the Hacker Alliance, the organization was divided into two forces and was unstable.
Some stood by his side and would abide by the rules of hackers.
Another half did not abide by hacker morality, like Black Eagle and Gardner.
Tang Jun was well aware that once news of his incident came out, those people would definitely find the right time to pull him off the horse. The hacker community would then be in chaos.
As the leader in the hacker industry, he had to maintain his mission.
In the past few years, he had recruited many emerging people in the hacker world just to find the hacker who conformed to the three views and who could then inherit as the Chairman of the Hacker Alliance. He would then retreat.
He had once thought about Lu Zhixin, but his fatal point was that he learned programming.
“Black Eagle? That’s indeed troublesome.” Cheng Juan sat down on the chair next to his desk and frowned slightly.
He had also helped to cover up Tang Jun’s news. How did this leak out…
Black Eagle was a hacker ranked in the top ten, who regarded money as his fate. He could do anything for money and had once attacked Lu Zhaoying’s computer in Yun Cheng without a trace.
Matthew had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.
“He challenged me a week later. I have two juniors under me… they’re definitely not his opponents. Come over by then.” Looking up, Tang Jun took a deep breath. “I was still thinking of raising my lost niece, but now it’s too late.”
Having said this, he couldn’t help sighing. It was too inconvenient to say too much through the phone. “We’ll talk more when you arrive at Continent M.”
“Okay.” Cheng Juan nodded.
After hanging up, he turned on the computer and began to check Tang Jun’s case.

Three days later.
In the early morning.
The Xu family had set off to Continent M.
Cheng Juan had already flown in advance to Continent M last night, leaving Qin Ran and Cheng Mu a step behind.
The Xu family met at the airport at 7 am.
Qin Ran and Cheng Mu arrived soon after.
The others in the Xu family were talking at the assembly place when they saw her. They immediately stopped talking and went silent.
It was an obvious rejection.
