Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Every year, so many people passed the laboratory test, but only a few could enter the Research Institute. The mentors and professors were used to it and naturally wouldn’t cradle them like the outside world.

It was normal that these proud children couldn’t stand being ignored for the first time by their instructors and stopped coming.

After several blows and neglect, they should come obediently.

Hearing Zuo Qiurong’s words while flipping through his book, Scholar Liao frowned lightly.

He continued doing his experiment. historical

“I’ll go and write my paper.” Zuo Qiurong carefully continued revising the paper she planned to submit to SCI.

She was a member of Scholar Liao’s laboratory, and everyone in the laboratory, including her, wanted to become his disciple.

Brother Ye had published three papers.

Zuo Qiurong just published a paper and was researching projects in the same area during this time.

**

In a private restaurant near Beijing University.

Qin Ran sat face to face with Principal Xu.

“Research about this.” Principal Xu handed her a document.

She put down her chopsticks and took a look.

It was a slightly complicated research material on a Physics subject.

“Every year, the laboratory recommends candidates for the Research Institute.” Principal Xu ate a piece of meat before slowly speaking, “Your Big Brother Song took his private team abroad to participate in a research project at the end of September and is now in the Research Institute. From freshman year to now, 10 research topics have been published on SCI, and they have been jointly promoted to the Research Institute. They’re now in the third-level.”

Principal Xu looked at Qin Ran.

He particularly emphasized the “10 SCI research papers” and dragged it out.

He was giving heavy hints.

Qin Ran closed the document.

“I got it.” Reaching out to pull her backpack, she put the research document inside.

Her reply was slow.

“Your Big Brother wrote the paper very diligently,” said Principal Xu as he picked up a piece of vegetable.

Casually throwing her backpack aside, Qin Ran glanced at him and calmly said, “He’s very diligent in law studies as well. I heard he’s been looking for a professor.”

Song Luting was good at everything.

He also set aside one day every week to study the law contents and didn’t even go to the laboratory.

Because of his operation, his teacher tried to earnestly exhort him but still failed to persuade him.

He couldn’t beat nor scold him, so he finally found a law professor for him.

Principal Xu paused and then kindly said, “Of course, experimental projects are more important. SCI papers and the likes can be done slowly, there’s no rush.”

Qin Ran withdrew her gaze and continued eating with her legs crossed.

**

The two finished their meal.

It was already six in the afternoon.

She didn’t go down with Principal Xu and saw Cheng Juan’s car parked by the road immediately.

It wasn’t Cheng Juan in the driver’s seat, but Cheng Jin instead. She opened the door of the back seat and got inside.

Cheng Juan was still reading a document when she got in. He closed it and put it aside.

Leaning over casually, his brows were clear, and his tone was casual. “Have you eaten?”

“Yeah.” Qin Ran put her backpack casually on her lap.

In the driver’s seat.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Cheng Jin respectfully asked, “Miss Qin, should we go back to Ting Lan or the experimental...”

He suddenly paused.

A few days ago, Cheng Juan had asked him to check on Liao Gaoang, so he knew he was a special researcher in the Research Institute. Having checked on his information, he found that they were first-level encrypted. Without 129, he couldn’t do much about it and just checked on his general character.

Most of what he was asked to search was about Qin Ran.

Recently, Cheng Juan didn’t even let others mention the laboratory.

Cheng Jin paused mid-sentence.

Resting her chin in her hand, Qin Ran glanced at him and casually smiled. Ever since Monday night, she had been in a bad mood and was a little impatient. Fortunately, she calmed down after returning to Ting Lan.

But Cheng Juan kept it in mind.

He had reacted very strongly, especially when Old Master Cheng spoke.

Qin Ran leaned against the door and chuckled.

She really didn’t care about the things in the laboratory. Cheng Wenru, Old Master Cheng, Dean Jiang, and the others all hoped she could find a good teacher in the laboratory, and that it was best to pay an apprenticeship to Scholar Liao.

Because Scholar Liao was one of the five special research fellows in the Research Institute.

But they didn’t know that Qin Ran had gone to the laboratory not to find a teacher—

She had already been booked by Principal Xu.

She had gone to the laboratory to do projects and research. According to Principal Xu, he wanted her to participate in international project research like Song Luting. Of course, it would be even better if she could write a few professional SCI papers and add more academic content to the laboratory.

10 minutes later, the car drove to the parking lot.

They got out of the car.

Cheng Jin parked the car and followed them upstairs with the car key.

Upstairs, Cheng Mu was having a video call with Father Lin, asking him if the flowers and leaves would wilt every winter, and discussing if there was a problem with his cultivation method.

When Qin Ran and Cheng Juan came in, he said goodbye to Father Lin and hung up.

On the other end of the phone, Father Lin turned to look at Lin Siran, who was holding an economics book, and sighed at Mother Lin. “Cheng Mu is really a good gardener.”

**

On the other side.

Putting down his phone, Cheng Mu went to retrieve a courier box from the side and handed it to Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, your courier.”

Qin Ran took off her coat and scarf and put them aside.

She checked the date and guessed that this express was probably Lu Zhixin’s black book, so she didn’t open it and prepared to directly send it to Qin Ling.

She received a cup of tea from Cheng Mu and took a sip, her slender fingers holding the courier box.

Leaning back on the sofa, she glanced at Cheng Mu, lowered her voice, and raised an eyebrow. “What are you staring at me for?”

He pointed to the courier box in her hand and curiously asked, “Miss Qin, what’s that?”

Qin Ran threw the courier to him and placed the teacup on the coffee table. Without looking up, she took out her phone and said, “Look for yourself.”

Cheng Mu took a pair of scissors to open the courier. Cheng Jin, who was talking to Cheng Juan, also looked at him.

After carefully tearing open the outer packaging, he saw a black book inside.

It had a very ugly cover and a bunch of numbers he couldn’t understand inside.

He was speechless.

Then, he remembered that Qin Ran was a hacker.

He couldn’t understand it...

He stared at it for a while, closed it, handed it respectfully to Qin Ran, and said expressionlessly, “Miss Qin.”

The next day, it was finally Saturday, much to the netizens’ joy.

8 pm.

Ting Lan.

Downstairs in Cheng Mu’s hall, Qin Ran was sitting on the carpet, holding a pillow and leaning lazily on the sofa.

Cheng Wenru, Cheng Juan, and Cheng Mu were sitting on the sofa at the same time.

Cheng Wenru had been thinking about coming here to watch the premiere ever since she heard about Cheng Mu’s super large screen last time.

Cheng Mu sat at the very edge.

At 7:59.

Cheng Jin walked out of the room silently, holding a glass of water. He silently walked to the edge of the sofa next to Cheng Mu and sat down.

Biting a potato chip, Cheng Mu blankly looked up and said, “Brother.”

“Yeah,” Cheng Jin took a sip of water and absent-mindedly replied to him.

Cheng Mu took another bite of potato chips and glanced at him without speaking.

His eyes read—

Why are you here?

Cheng Jin: “...”

He lowered his head and silently drank the water.

At 8 o’clock, all major channels would simultaneously broadcast with the online APP platform.

The title played at the beginning of the show along with a piece of music, and then the program name was typed in swashes—”24-hours Idol”.

At the same time, the synchronization of online netizens introduced cheekily—

“Hello, everyone. Welcome to “8-hours Idol.”

“It’s time to watch “8-hours Idol” again.”

After the last episode, the program entered the topic.

It showed the moment when Tian Xiaoxiao met with Film Emperor Qin.

“I know this little sister, the one who was on the hot search last month. Does everyone remember?”

“Tian Xiaoxiao... I know her. This young lady looks very distinctive, I don’t know why she has never been popular!”

“She’s actually not Beijing University’s school tyrant and is an entertainer?? I’ve guessed wrong.”

“Maybe the program group strictly forbade her from bringing school tyrants.”

“Hahaha, the stupid program group must be afraid it would become “2-hours Idol.”

On the screen, Qin Ran’s eyes fell at the end of the road, and she casually replied to Film Empress Jing, “A singer.”

“Singer? An entertainer as well? Why isn’t he here yet? Is he late?”

“I want to see who it is. Who dares to be late in front of Film Empress Jing and Film Emperor Qin?”

At the same time, the scene changed to the end of the road not far away.
