“Stop it.” As soon as Cheng Raohan finished speaking, the woman sitting next to her reached out and pulled him, lowering her voice.

She was his wife. Although she was from a prestigious family, she didn’t interfere much with his affairs.

At this interruption, Cheng Raohan couldn’t help but frown and glance at her.

Before the woman spoke, a girl walked over to the table not far away and presented the gift. “Happy birthday to Grandpa Cheng. May you have today’s glory forever!”

She couldn’t help but glance at Cheng Juan out of the corners of her eyes.

She was the First Hall Master’s daughter.

Because of her talent, she had trained at the base since a young age and was very valued by the Cheng family.

After delivering the gift to Butler Cheng, instead of leaving, she looked in Qin Ran’s direction. “Are you Qin Ran?”

At the main seat, the First Hall Master’s face darkened. “Cheng Rui.”

It sounded a little hostile, so Cheng Raohan no longer entangled with his wife’s words. After all, it wasn’t good to offend the Old Master. He just looked up at the girl and kindly smiled. “First Hall Master, don’t be so fierce to the child. Rui Rui, do you know this Miss Qin?”

In such a big family, some people naturally couldn’t stand it. Presumably, Cheng Juan bringing Qin Ran back today had broken a few people’s hearts.

Though Cheng Raohan showed kindness on his face, he was secretly extremely satisfied with the girl for bringing this up.

Qin Ran turned to the girl. “... Yeah.”

“Oh.” The girl reached into her pocket, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and handed it to her. “Then, can you sign this for me? I’m a fan of you and Film Emperor Qin. Of course, I really like your brother too, but he’s not as impressive as you.”

Cheng Wenru, who was about to speak, stared at the girl, speechless.

Sitting in the chair, Old Master Cheng laughed. “No wonder you came so early to give me my present. It turns out that you have an ulterior motive. Ran Ran, sign it for her.”

Qin Ran took the piece of paper and signed it.

Seeing Cheng Rui leaving with the signature in her hands, Cheng Wenru finally reacted that she was probably a fan of the show. “You only want a signature, not a picture together?” She laughed.

“Can I?” Taken aback, Cheng Rui turned to Qin Ran again. Although her face didn’t fluctuate, her eyes shone brightly.

The main hall’s originally suspended heart now fell.

Cheng Wenru leaned back in her chair and raised an eyebrow. “I remember you’re a senior in high school, right? Remember to learn from your Sister Qin Ran.”

“No, I can’t become the national top scorer.” Cheng Rui shook her head and looked at Qin Ran with a little distress. “I only entered the top 10 in this midterm entrance exam, which is far behind Sister Qin Ran’s achievements. But I will work hard to get into Beijing University’s Physics Department.”

Most posts on Weibo had already been deleted.

But the comment section on the previous two issues about Qin Ran’s science knowledge had been rampant.

After speaking, Cheng Rui politely greeted those at the table and walked to the table near the door where the youngsters gathered.

Many people in the hall had good hearing and could hear the excited voice of a young man there—

“You got it?”

“Let me see!”

“Cheng Rui, you’re too stingy...”

“...”

At the main seat, Cheng Raohan’s lips twitched, and he looked at Cheng Juan with feigned admiration. “Rui Rui just said that Ran Ran was the top scorer in the college entrance examination? There’s only one national paper every year, and the top scorer last year who just entered the Research Institute is a talent! Ran Ran, are you really the top scorer, and the nation’s college entrance examination’s top scorer?”

Old Master Cheng lightly glanced at him. “She’s naturally the nation’s top scorer. Zhou Shan himself came to find me for her.”

Cheng Raohan had also heard of Zhou Shan.

He always felt like Zhou Shan had been invited by the Old Master to settle things for Qin Ran...

But now, it seemed like he had indeed come for Qin Ran, but his purpose had been completely different from what he imagined.

“Oh.” Cheng Raohan nodded and poured himself a glass of wine, speechless.

No title mattered...

He was also very clear about the importance of being the nation’s top scorer. There was only one talent every year. If she had enough time to grow...

Cheng Juan’s status was already rising in the Cheng family, and now there was another Qin Ran, who was winning the hearts of the young people in the Cheng family.

Cheng Raohan didn’t manage to eat his meal.

He remained in grave silence.

After the meal, several people handed gifts to Old Master Cheng.

Most were packed in boxes and handed over with grandiosity.

Butler Cheng and Old Master Cheng didn’t open their gifts while the guests were still there. This was only a show of courtesy. Butler Cheng only asked to take all the gift boxes back to his residence. Qin Ran’s wooden box had already been handed to him by Cheng Mu before the meal.

After they finished their meal, the youngsters noisily went to the schoolyard, while some others wanted to invite Qin Ran along.

Instead of following Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, Cheng Wenru followed Old Master Cheng.

“Dad, when are you opening the gifts?” Old Master Cheng liked antiques, so Cheng Wenru naturally did as well. Every year, she collected all sorts of antiques for him. She had been curious about Qin Ran’s wooden box for two whole days already.

With his hands behind him, Old Master Cheng glanced at her. “Why are you so concerned about my gifts this year?”

He was in a good mood and flashed a rare smile when he spoke.

“I want to see the gift Ran Ran gave you.” At this moment, since there weren’t any hall masters or managers talking to Old Master Cheng, she only lowered her voice a little.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Cheng was taken aback and glanced at Butler Cheng. “Ran Ran also gave me a present?”

“I have put it in your study already.” Butler Cheng looked at his notebook.

He had placed the wooden box given to him by Cheng Mu into the study, knowing that the Old Master would surely want to look at it alone.

Old Master Cheng nodded and pondered. “Let’s go to my study first. Ask the manager to directly come over if there’s anything.”

“Go check it out.” Leaving the hall, Cheng Raohan looked at his subordinate, his expression extremely dark. “What’s the thing with the variety show.”

Cheng Rui and the other youngster’s reactions were too strange. Cheng Raohan looked in the direction of the main hall, his eyes deepening...

The First Hall Master had always been neutral, but because of his daughter and Qin Ran now... Cheng Raohan was afraid.

Some others on the management level were also confused about the situation.

Previously, Cheng Raohan never knew who the “Miss Qin” that Old Master Cheng always talked about was. But now that he did, it was an easy feat to investigate her.

“24-hours Idol” was a variety show that had already exploded.

Although the enthusiasm from the first two episodes had long passed, the response was still as fervent.

Cheng Raohan naturally had his own network to collect information.

In less than half an hour, those people not only checked the ins and outs of “24-hours Idol” but also put together the previous lines of news.

Standing in Cheng Raohan’s study with a stack of documents, the subordinate seemed to be in a daze.

“She’s really the nation’s college entrance examination’s top scorer?” Cheng Raohan asked.

“Not only that.” The subordinate pursed his lips. “Eldest Master, do you remember Master Wei, the person we found after checking the Xu family in Continent M?”

Cheng Raohan naturally remembered and nodded.

No one in Beijing was a stranger to the relationship between Master Wei and Continent M’s Association.

Several big families in Beijing kept a check on Master Wei.

However, too much news had gathered, and usually, special intelligence officers were responsible for them, so they organized them as soon as possible when the Master needed various news.

“When we checked, we found that this program mentioned the Beijing Association, so the intelligence agent mobilized Master Wei’s information. This Miss Qin is the only chief disciple of Master Wei...”

Beijing was too complicated. Other than the necessary things, Cheng Raohan rarely kept these kinds of things in mind.

Otherwise, with so many families, he would have to remember too many random details about every master.

Most of the information was only available when needed.

He had paid attention to Master Wei and checked on him after the Xu family’s return from Continent M. However, at that time, he only checked on Master Wei, and as for his disciples... It really wasn’t as important, so he naturally hadn’t checked on it.

But as soon as he heard this, his hands on the document paused.

But the subordinate had yet to finish talking. It was fine when they didn’t know Qin Ran was the “Miss Qin” that the Old Master always talked about, but now that they did, they discovered a bunch of information added up. “Also... Do you remember when we reported the situation of several laboratories to you?”
