Qin Ran casually swiped the notification away.

After she finished playing her game, she slowly clicked on Chang Ning’s icon and replied.

I’m on vacation. Don’t disturb me.

Chang Ning: On vacation?

Hearing the crisp sound of the wind chime at the door, Qin Ran looked up and saw Song Luting dressed in plain clothes and walking in unhurriedly with a book.

Qin Ran did not immediately reply to him. She placed her phone aside and said, “Big Brother Song.”

Beside her, Mu Nan also stood up in excitement. “Big Brother Song!”

“Please sit.” Song Luting sat across Qin Ran and put his physics research materials on the table. “I see that you’ve become a famous translator on the website. Have you thought about simultaneous translation?”

Song Luting was the one who introduced Mu Nan to translation.

In his free time, Song Luting would also take notice of his work.

Song Luting was always a little worried about Qin Ran, Mingyue, Wei Zihang, and Mu Nan.

“If you make the champion of the National Physics Competition who was admitted into Beijing University in advance pursue simultaneous translation, Dean Jiang won’t let you off.” Qin Ran glanced at him.

Speaking of Dean Jiang, the atmosphere instantly became more relaxed.

“Dean Jiang is really fast.” Song Luting shook his head. After the three of them chatted for a while, he looked at Qin Ran calmly. “I’ve heard about the situation from the people in the laboratory, and I just went to pay my respects to Elder Xu.”

When Principal Xu was mentioned, Qin Ran lowered her gaze and changed the subject. “Is your teacher back?”

“We came back together. Director Fang is looking for him,” Song Luting replied. Then, he asked Mu Nan, “Is your father still in the same state?”

“Yes.” Mu Nan held his coffee cup and said, “It’s neither good nor bad.”

Song Luting nodded, finished his coffee, and said lightly, “How is the Xu family’s business with Continent M?”

Qin Ran leaned back. “The delivery will be made in two days.”

“Is someone monitoring the situation?” Song Luting glanced at her and frowned slightly.

“Yes.” Qin Ran smiled.

She would monitor it personally.

Song Luting’s phone suddenly rang. He lowered his head and didn’t answer it immediately. Finally, he looked at Qin Ran. “It’s the laboratory.”

“Big Brother Song, focus on your research,” Qin Ran said seriously.

After what happened to Principal Xu, she didn’t want to involve anyone else important to her.

Song Luting glanced at her, strummed his fingers on the table, and didn’t respond.

…

Qin Ran waited for Song Luting to leave for the Research Institute before asking Cheng Mu to send her to the Xu family.

Just as Cheng Mu’s started the car, she received another message on her phone.

Yan Xi went to Star Entertainment.

Star Entertainment was the company Yan Xi was currently contracted to.

After Elder Xu passed away, Qin Ran arranged for several people to follow him and Pan Mingyue.

After receiving the news, Qin Ran looked up and said, “Cheng Mu, let’s go to Star Entertainment.”

“Star Entertainment?” Cheng Mu was unfamiliar with the entertainment industry, so he turned on the GPS.

He looked in the rearview mirror.

Qin Ran was leaning against the window as usual and playing with a black card in her hand.

Cheng Mu recognized it. Cheng Jin also had such a card. There was no name on it.

…

Twenty minutes later.

They arrived at Star Entertainment.

“I’m sorry, this elevator is for authorized use only. Do you have an appointment, Miss?” A security officer outside the lift of Star Entertainment stopped Qin Ran.

Cheng Mu stood behind her and said in a low voice, “Miss Qin, I will throw them aside…”

Qin Ran was playing with her phone, and it seemed like she skipped a few lines of numbers.

“No need,” she said casually.

At the same time.

Verification success!

Nowadays, due to the Yunguang Consortium’s popularity, most elevators used fingerprints or pupil scans for authentication.

Seeing the elevator door open, the two security officers quickly stepped aside. “Miss, please enter!”

Qin Ran calmly walked into the elevator.

Cheng Mu originally wanted to tackle the bodyguards, but when he saw the elevator door open, he straightened his chest and followed Qin Ran in very seriously.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

Outside his office in Star Entertainment, Boss Wang stared sternly at Yan Xi. “Yan Xi, you will remember later that we’re no better than before. The president will talk about variety shows and advertisements. Don’t say anything. I will help you deal with it. Don’t cause any trouble for the Great Master.”

Yan Xi was popular in the industry for only wanting to focus on music and was uninterested in filming or other promotional activities.

At the start, Boss Wang didn’t understand his ways. But he was moved by his passion for music and didn’t question him.

However, now, the Yunguang Consortium’s backing was gone.

Yan Xi could no longer do as he pleased.

“Ok,” the masked Yan Xi replied.

When the two of them walked in, the President of Star Entertainment was currently talking to someone with a smile. “Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be any problem on my side.”

When he saw Yan Xi, the President of Star Entertainment paused. “Look, Yan Xi is here. Yan Xi, this is Director Li, the most famous director of Lizi Channel. Last year’s popular variety show Escape from the Haunted House? I’ve signed you up for it. You should sign the agreement and pack up in the next two days.”

Yan Xi lowered his head and didn’t say anything.

Boss Wang laughed and played along. The President wasn’t outrageously demanding and did not overlook Yan Xi’s popularity.

It’d be settled if the contract was signed.

Boss Wang motioned to Yan Xi to sign it.

Yan Xi picked up a pen and signed his name.

Seeing them like that, the President was satisfied. He looked at the documents that Yan Xi signed, remembered something, and then said to his secretary, “Ask Jiang Xu to come in.”

Soon, a tall girl walked in.

The President leaned back into his chair. “Yan Xi, this is our company’s trainee who debuted with the highest score. Ask Jiang Shanyi to write a song for her.”
