Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 601: Outside of Qin Ran (1)

In the manor in the morning.

Cheng Mu was standing on a flower bed outside the door with the peerless shovel, his hands behind him as he looked out at his own country.

Cheng Juan had circled a piece of land for him in the manor for his exclusive experimental use.

When the servant brought Cheng Wenru in, she saw him looking unpredictable.

“What… is he doing?” Cheng Wenru paused.

The servant bowed respectfully. “Mr. Cheng Mu is observing the object.”

Cheng Wenru: “…??”

What the hell?

“Mr. Cheng Mu said I won’t understand.” The servant lowered his head again.

Cheng Wenru was speechless.

She walked into the hall, and the servant quickly served her a cup of tea.

“Where are Cheng Jin and the others?” Cheng Wenru glanced around but didn’t see them.

“Mr. Cheng Jin and the others are still receiving the guests.”

Cheng Wenru didn’t dare ask what kind of guests he was receiving, but she instantly remembered that after the banquet yesterday, First Hall Master and Second Hall Master sitting at the Cheng family’s gate had been in a daze, doubting their lives.

Since the last time she went to Continent M, she already felt like Cheng Juan, Cheng Jin, and the others weren’t simple…

“My Third Bro and Ran Ran haven’t gotten up yet?” Cheng Wenru took the tea and glanced upstairs.

The servant nodded slightly.

Cheng Wenru leaned on the sofa and raised her eyebrows. Cheng Juan was a well-disciplined man who woke up at 6 o’clock every morning, which had once made her suspect that he was a machine.

Humanoid machines also had such a day.

Upstairs.

The room was dim with only a few rays of light coming in from the gap.

Several major forces and families in Beijing had been renewed. Qin Ran had been very busy recently taking care of the Physics Research Institute’s Plan B and Fang Zhenbo. Furthermore, Lu Zhixin was also waiting for her in the Qin Corporation.

She had to take time off to get married.

On the second day of her wedding, she woke up at 6 am in a daze.

But before she got off the bed, the person beside her stirred. The room was dim and dark without the lights turned on, and the person seemed to awake too. He hugged her tighter from behind and muttered, “You’re awake…”

“Yeah…” Qin Ran said subconsciously. “The Research Institute…”

He slowly pulled the quilt covering her up and seemed to chuckle. “… You can just ask for leave.”

Anyway… They didn’t wake up immediately.

It was already 11 am when they went downstairs.

Qin Ran wrapped her coat around her and slowly followed Cheng Juan downstairs. She saw Cheng Wenru sitting on the sofa, having already finished two cups of tea.

11 am was, in fact, probably… not too late, right?

Qin Ran bit her lip and pondered seriously.

Cheng Wenru had already drunk three cups of tea, finished half a plate of melon seeds, and went to the bathroom twice. While watching Weibo, she saw the rising popularity of yesterday’s grand and mysterious wedding banquet.

She actually intended to tease Cheng Juan when she saw them coming down, but seeing Qin Ran behind him, she somehow managed to restrain herself.

Leaning on the sofa, she carefully looked at Qin Ran, then looked down at the popular comment on Weibo—

[This is the imperial concubine of the disaster nation.]

She was still thinking of this when the phone rang.

It was from First Hall Master.

Since the hall was full of her own people, Cheng Wenru didn’t avoid it and directly picked up instead. “What happened?”

“Miss, a friend of the Third Young Master said that Beijing has outstanding talents, so he wants to buy a building here and live in it…” First Hall Master was about to cry.

Cheng Wenru: “… Who?”

“He seems to be from Continent F…” First Hall Master wasn’t very clear.

Cheng Wenru couldn’t help massaging her forehead. In order not to bump into those people, Cheng Shui had specially taken Cheng Wenru to identify them one by one yesterday, but it wasn’t very detailed.

But Cheng Wenru knew these people weren’t simple after seeing them on the same stage as Giant Crocodile and calling them brothers.

Usually, Giant Crocodile alone was enough to give them a headache. Fortunately, he had no schemes in Beijing for the time being.

This was a good thing for them. But stationed in Beijing?

Cheng Wenru felt her heart thump fiercely in her chest, and she said a little tiredly, “You can deal with it.”

In the end, with Cheng Juan and Qin Ran here, nobody would dare to mess around.

Cheng Juan and Qin Ran’s friends amounted to more than a dozen.

Hanging up, Cheng Wenru turned to Cheng Juan. “Third Bro, you and Ran Ran… When will your friends leave?”

“I don’t know. I’m on vacation, so Cheng Shui is in charge now.” Cheng Juan’s phone kept ringing because Lu Zhaoying, Jiang Dongye, and his old friends were all sending him WeChat messages. He took the time to look up at Cheng Wenru and answered with a sense of righteousness.

This vacation was impressive and could even startle the universe.

Holding her phone, Cheng Wenru felt like Cheng Mu was right. Her Third Bro hadn’t been in the right state of mind lately. She felt like she would be better off discussing such things with Cheng Shui.

Qin Ran was also looking at her phone, scrolling through the greetings from her high school and university friends.

She also saw the message of Chang Ning urging her order.

Qin Ran casually told him she was on vacation and then turned off her phone to finish her last bite.

Cheng Juan put down his phone and glanced at her. “Are you still going to the Research Institute?”

“Yeah.” Qin Ran drank tea slowly, thinking slightly. “There’s a meeting today, but I’m not assured.”

The Research Institute was now changing power. With the seal in her hands, she had cleaned the Research Institute from beginning to end and had replaced a lot of people. Even if she didn’t go to the laboratory, she didn’t feel relieved unless she attended the first conference.

Understanding the importance of the matter, Cheng Juan went upstairs to take the printed documents and hand them to her.

“Are you ready?” Qin Ran finished drinking and casually reached out for it. She was a little surprised when she saw the contents.

Cheng Juan often helped her organize such things, be it researching experimental data or the Qin Corporation’s big problems.

It was just that she hadn’t seen him sort these things out in the past two days.

“I did it when I was free.” Cheng Juan went to the cabinet for his car key. “I’ll send you there.”

They bid farewell to Cheng Wenru and went to the Research Institute.

Cheng Wenru stared after them, somewhat amazed.

…

At the Research Institute.

Qin Ran actually took three days off for her marriage.

Xing Kai stared at the data in his hands, feeling his head throb. He was originally from the main experiment side and had helped Brother Ye while learning alongside him. However, Qin Ran had asked for leave. Even if she wasn’t in the Research Institute, she would still remotely process the results.

She was very intelligent, especially in mathematics and science. Even Scholar Liao was willing to bow down to her, thinking that her talents had been bestowed from the heavens.

Although Xing Kai and the others privately complained that the Music Department’s scholars also said the same thing about Qin Ran.

But he didn’t dare say it in front of Scholar Liao.

Qin Ran had asked for complete leave in the past few days, which made Xing Kai, Nan Huiyao, and the others even busier. Qin Ran’s job was indeed extremely difficult to do. Fortunately, five old professors and Song Luting had helped to support them.

“Keep watching.” Scholar Liao checked the time. It was time for the conference. He put down his phone and said, “I’m going to the conference first.”

Today was the annual big conference of the four major Research Institutes.

It wasn’t just a problem with the resource allocation this year, but also about the re-planning of the contribution system.

Many people attended the conference.

Each Research Institute had representatives from the middle and high levels.

Seeing Scholar Liao, Dean Jiang, sitting on the delegation of the Physics Department, stood up and greeted him.

The Physics Research Institute was now short of people, and Qin Ran had directly promoted Dean Jiang. At the same time, for the sake of balance, she had also promoted the Dean of the Physics Department next door.

Most of the people in the Research Institute were convinced by her, but some with real talent still weren’t.

These people weren’t on Fang Zhenbo’s side, so Qin Ran wasn’t bothered either.

Qin Ran arrived slowly there and also brought along Cheng Juan. When she arrived, she didn’t listen to the resource allocation this year and only seemed drowsy instead.

Cheng Juan was also famous in medical school. People on stage even praised him and Gu Xichi for having developed the drug against the Y3 virus.

Listening lazily to this, Cheng Juan wasn’t very bothered. He lowered his head and helped Qin Ran to correct the mistakes in the manuscript.

This session lasted only two hours. Qin Ran stood up only after it had finished.

“Are we going home?” Cheng Juan kept the manuscript and asked.

Qin Ran thought for a while and shook her head. She whispered, “Scholar Liao said that Nan Huiyao and the others are having a bit of trouble. I’ll go take a look.”

“Okay.” Cheng Juan would follow her, anyway.

They left.

“Scholar Liao, look at her. Is there anyone like her? The entire Research Institute is worrying about Plan B. I think we’ll have to reconsider letting her be the heir…” said an old researcher in dissatisfaction.

The moment he said this, most people remained silent.

The old researcher was about to say something when an old man hurriedly ran up to him. “Mr. Xie, are you serious? You don’t want Miss Qin? That’s perfect, our Computing Research Institute was just wondering why Miss Qin didn’t enter our department. That’s really great. Thank you…”
