Chapter 568: That’s My Goddaughter

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The voice was too abrupt.

Everyone looked in the direction of the entrance.

A few people at the doorway slowly walked in. In the middle was a man in a grey coat. He was about 60 years old, had a buzzcut, and his skin was quite white. His eyes were extremely cold.

To his left was a young, slender figure wearing a white sweater and a black hat on his head. His head was slightly lowered.

As soon as he entered, he took off his hat and looked at the stage.

To his right was a middle-aged man with a cold face. He seemed to be a little impatient due to the large crowd at the event.

“Mr. Lu?” The Qin family representative recognized that the man on the right was Lu Zhixin and quickly stood up.

Lu Zhixin was one of the core members of the Yunguang Consortium, and he was well-known in the industry and the public. Although he gave few interviews, photos, and videos, with the Yunguang Consortium’s emergence in Beijing, many powers had tried to curry favor with him.

Even if the family representatives couldn’t recognize him, their secretaries did.

“Mr. Lu, you’re here as well.” The Yunguang Consortium led the important IT and hotel industries in Asia. Most of the people who had interacted with him before came forward to greet him. When they saw the old man beside him, they said, “This is…”

“Old Master Yang.” Mr. Lu didn’t say much but gave a short introduction.

As soon as he said that, the expressions of the people around him changed. They quickly greeted him. “It turns out to be Old Master Yang.”

Wasn’t Yang the surname of the founder of the Yunguang Consortium?

However, the rumors were that the backing of the Yang family was overseas, and no one had seen him before.

No one expected that he would appear in a place like this.

However, it didn’t prevent the powerful families in the capital from supporting him.

Compared with the dispute between the Research Institute and the Xu family, Old Master Yang’s appearance in Beijing was truly big news.

Yunguang Consortium, the second of five giants, took the IT world by storm.

Even Cheng Wenru temporarily forgot about Fang Zhenbo. She stared at Old Master Yang and furrowed her brows. “What’s the Yunguang Consortium trying to convey? Even Old Master Yang has returned to China…”

“It’s really suspicious.” Cheng Shui pondered slightly and looked at Cheng Juan. “Boss, has Miss Qin mentioned anything about this?”

He knew that Qin Ran was a member of the Yunguang Consortium.

Cheng Juan placed his hands behind his back, shook his head, and turned to look in Qin Ran’s direction.

The handover ceremony was temporarily suspended.

Butler Xu saw that Fang Zhenbo had also gone down the stage to look for Old Master Yang. He stopped quickly and looked at Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, Old Master Yang is probably part of the Yunguang Consortium. Although we don’t touch IT, Fang Zhenbo obviously wants to get closer to him, so we should also greet him.”

After all, the Xu family was the host today.

Qin Ran followed Butler Xu down the stage.

She didn’t follow Butler Xu to greet Old Master Yang but walked towards Cheng Juan.

“This Fang Zhenbo.” Cheng Juan approached her and said softly so that only they could hear. “Should I help you deal with him?”

He heard a clear breath near his ears. The impatience and hostility in Qin Ran’s heart disappeared. She shook her head. “No need. However… someone is backing Fang Zhenbo.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to act like that in public.

Cheng Juan patiently waited for her response and said, “That’s true. Just leave it to me.”

It seemed that he knew who was backing him up.

Qin Ran casually nodded. “Ok.”

She didn’t doubt him and didn’t ask further questions.

Cheng Juan also did not explain. He only reached out to hold her right hand firmly and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry.”

“Ran Ran, that Director Fang is trying to get close to the Yunguang Consortium. He doesn’t have any good intentions.” Cheng Wenru retracted her gaze. She patted Qin Ran’s shoulder and said seriously, “I’ve worked with Mr. Lu before, I will introduce you to him!”

“No need.” Qin Ran watched Fang Zhenbo hand a glass of wine to Old Master Yang, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She left them and took a glass of wine for Cheng Wenru. “Sister Cheng, you should drink first.”

Qin Ran was prepared to find a secluded place to look for Old Master Yang.

Although she was Old Master Yang’s goddaughter on paper…

She wasn’t very close to him.

…

Not far away.

Fang Zhenbo held the glass of wine and joined the crowd in greeting Old Master Yang.

“Director Fang, Butler Xu has also gone to look for Old Master Yang.” Fang Zhenbo’s assistant whispered.

“It’s useless,” Fang Zhenbo said faintly. “The Xu family has never interacted with the Yunguang Consortium. Just ignore them. We will greet Old Master Yang.”

Hearing this, Fang Zhenbo’s assistant and the others in the Research Institute nodded.

A group of them walked towards Old Master Yang.

It seemed that the two of them were talking quite happily.

At the side, Butler Xu’s expression turned darker as he wanted to welcome Old Master Yang as well.

“Butler Xu, this…” The elder next to Butler Xu saw Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru walking over and mumbled. “It seems that Old Master Yang likes Fang Zhenbo… Considering this, Miss Qin won’t have an easy time today in the handover ceremony…”

“Are you the Director of the Research Institute? I have just done some research with the Research Institute of Continent M a few days ago, and Beijing’s Research Institute has been on the rise recently.” Old Master Yang looked at Director Fang with a warm smile.

Fang Zhenbo didn’t expect that Old Master Yang would talk to him considering the number of people there.

Flattered, he quickly bowed. “Yes, Old Master Yang. I didn’t expect that you would pay attention to matters in the physics world.”

“My goddaughter went to study physics. As a father, I naturally want to know about it.” As Old Master Yang spoke, a crowd of people looked over. He smiled and waved. “Come over quickly. Why are you hiding in the crowd?”
