Chapter 485: There’s Still an Apprenticeship Banquet

“Ran Ran must be Poppy from the Yunguang Consortium, right?”

Tang Jun didn’t have many connections with the people from the Yunguang Consortium, but he knew a lot about Poppy.

The reason why he knew about her wasn’t just because of her reputation in the software development field but also because Lu Zhixin had spoken about her previously.

He had always wanted to invite her into the Hacker Alliance.

Tang Jun wasn’t familiar with Lu Zhixin’s friends. However, Qin Ran’s mental age matched the person that he had described to Tang Jun.

They should have the same age as well.

When Tang Jun extended the invitation to Poppy through Lu Zhixin, he found out that she was less than twenty years old.

It was rare for someone to be so skillful at this age. Hence, Tang Jun wanted to recruit her.

But she rejected the offer.

When he saw Lu Zhixin interact with Qin Ran today, Tang Jun was reminded of it.

Her age, character, the environment she grew up in… Her experiences were almost identical to Poppy’s.

Tang Jun remembered it all.

On the other side of the phone, Lu Zhixin was holding onto his laptop and phone as he glanced at Qin Ran. He then said without changing his expression, “Everyone in the core department of 28 knows about it. Why are you asking now?”

Tang Jun was standing next to the mirror. When he heard what Lu Zhixin said, he stumbled and asked, “I thought her major was in physics?”

“Her grandfather was one of the pioneers of the physics field in this country. Why is it strange for her to major in it?” Lu Zhixin continued calmly.

Ning Er was so famous that he was written into history. He was well known in the physics field. Lu Zhixin was aware of it.

“Was he that famous?” Tang Jun was shocked as he never knew about it. “Two days ago, I met up with all of the young people around me and mentored them…”

“Don’t even think about it.” Lu Zhixin frowned. He knew what Tang Jun was leading up to. “She’s focused on physics right now and doesn’t care about the Yunguang Consortium. Furthermore, you could never win against them.”

As Lu Zhixin spoke, he continued to look at Qin Ran. “You can access the log into the websites on the domestic browser to check it out. It’s up.”

Take a look at a few websites?

What did this mean?

Tang Jun looked at his phone and started to browse the web.

The notifications from the browsers were about how the physics field had gotten first place on Continent M.

[We have won first place in the most advanced category of the ICNE competition. The nation’s physics field can be regarded as world-class again after forty years!]

An excitement that words couldn’t describe. Everyone knew about the history of the physics field. Hence, everyone was elated when they saw the notification.

Tang Jun clicked on the link and saw a picture of Qin Ran with her team at the entrance to the Continent M physics Research Institute.

This news wasn’t just about the physics field. Everyone who had internet access was elated.

The other physics faculties in other universities were celebrating too.

Tang Jun was shocked. He knew that the competition that Qin Ran took part in was challenging. But he didn’t expect that it would be on such a level.

Behind Tang Jun, Eldest Master Tang and Tang Qing were still awake.

“Dad, what did uncle reply?” Tang Qing asked as she put down her teacup and looked towards Eldest Master Tang.

Eldest Master Tang checked his phone. He then shook his head and replied, “Second Brother hasn’t replied.”

He frowned and summoned the chief steward to ask him about what happened at the airport today.

“Second Master knew Ms. Qin…” The chief steward didn’t care about Qin Ran previously and only remembered Qin Hanqiu. Hence, he couldn’t recall much about the rest.

“He knew her?” Eldest Master Tang exclaimed shockingly. “How?”

“Dad, you guys can continue with the conversation. I’ll head upstairs first.” Tang Qing noticed that there wasn’t any information about Lu Zhixin and lost interest. She then headed upstairs and wanted to think of a solution by herself. “I’ll contact Uncle by myself.”

Lu Zhixin never had a good relationship with the rest of the Qin family, but he still kept in contact with Tang Qing.

After he saw Tang Qing going upstairs, Eldest Master Tang stood up as well, concerned with the ownership of the Yunguang Consortium. He said, “Wait for me.”

The chief steward asked, “Eldest Master, regarding Ms. Qin…”

“I’ll head up first. I want to see if she can find her uncle.” Eldest Master Tang shook his head. He was at a loss on how to settle things with Lu Zhixin.

When Lu Zhixin left, he said that he would discuss the matter with the person-in-charge today, but he didn’t receive any updates. Eldest Master Tang was anxious about getting ownership to gain more market share.

Hence, he couldn’t pay much attention to Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran.

He hurriedly followed Tang Qing.

The chief steward was dying to say something.

“Chief steward?” The helper saw that the chief steward was motionless and called out.

“It’s nothing…” The chief steward pouted. He stepped aside when he felt that the relationship between Lu Zhixin and Qin Ran wasn’t what it seemed like.

In his time with the Lu family, he had never seen Lu Zhixin speak so much.

It was just that the Eldest Master wasn’t interested in the topic anymore.

Furthermore, the chief steward wasn’t sure about his intuition as well.

…

At the capital, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan had arrived at Ting Lan.

Old Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru were there.

They had been notified about their win in Continent M.

“Are you finally going to rest for a couple of days?” Old Master Cheng asked as he looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran paused for a moment.

“What’s the matter?” asked Old Master Cheng as he noticed her expression.

Cheng Juan coughed and answered, “There’s still an apprenticeship banquet.”
