Cheng Juan raised his head to look at Qin Ran with a misty look in his eyes.

Cheng Wenru and the others also looked at her in anticipation.

“In the past, I helped him once before and hid his ID,” Qin Ran narrowed her eyes and said vaguely. “I’ll be going up first. Tomorrow, I have to attend the ceremony.”

“Oh.” Cheng Mu nodded. “It seems that Giant Crocodile also uses the internet.” historical

He could understand Yang Fei. As for Giant Crocodile...

Do Big bosses use the internet?

The others in the hall did not say anything and were very silent.

Even Cheng Juan seemed to be thinking about something.

After some time, Cheng Wenru let out a sigh. “No wonder Giant Crocodile accepted my order that time. It was probably Ran Ran’s doing, right?”

She just felt that it was strange that Giant Crocodile, one of the five elders of 129, would accept her order...

However, that was Giant Crocodile from 129. Cheng Wenru was a little in awe.

She didn’t think much about her knowing Cheng Juan and Cheng Tu, but how could Qin Ran know Giant Crocodile...

Qin Ran really gave her a huge surprise. If it was Ouyang Wei, who was well-known in Beijing, this would have been publicized a long time ago.

...

The next day.

Today was the handover ceremony of the Research Institute.

Qin Ran woke up very early.

Cheng Wenru didn’t leave last night because she remembered that today was Qin Ran’s ceremony.

“Miss Qin, if you invite Giant Crocodile over...” Cheng Mu took a bite of bread at the breakfast table. “I guarantee that those people in the Research Institute won’t dare to say a thing.”

“That’s too exaggerated.” Cheng Juan drank a glass of water and said faintly, “Giant Crocodile is not a suitable attendee.”

If he appeared in public, the capital might not be able to handle it.

Giant Crocodile’s identity was sensitive, and his whereabouts were always well hidden. It didn’t make sense for him to appear on this occasion.

“Ok.” Cheng Mu nodded regretfully. He then looked at Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, since you’re familiar with Giant Crocodile, has he ever said anything about the internal affairs of 129? For example, is Lone Wolf male or female, or what the elders do every day?”

“They drink,” Qin Ran suddenly said.

Cheng Mu was confused.

“I said that they probably drink every day.” Qin Ran rephrased.

After eating, they went to the Research Institute.

Today, the Research Institute was opened to the public.

When Qin Ran reached, Butler Xu and Xu Yaoguang were already there.

The handover ceremony was held in the auditorium.

“Miss Qin, this is the schedule.” Butler Xu greeted Cheng Juan and the rest before handing a schedule to her.

Qin Ran glanced at it. The ceremony would start at 9 am. At that time, Fang Zhenbo would hand her the official seal.

After Xu Shiying died, the Research Institute was temporarily handed over to Fang Zhenbo.

When he saw Qin Ran looking at her watch, Butler Xu said, “Miss Qin, today’s handover won’t be peaceful. If you want to back out, the Xu family will understand.”

Qin Ran acknowledged him casually.

A senior member of the Xu family also said solemnly, “Since the Old Master is dead, there won’t be anyone to help you now. There will be many accidents in the future, and the people in the Research Institute will sail with the wind. However, the Xu family will only support you.”

Recently, the Xu family was in a mess, and, without strong backing, it was difficult to stabilize Qin Ran as the person in charge...

“Don’t worry.” Qin Ran patted the senior member’s shoulder.

Butler Xu nodded. He couldn’t help but admit that Elder Xu chose the right person. “Oh, yes. Miss Qin, have the guests you mentioned arrived? They didn’t register at the concierge.”

Qin Ran glanced at the time on her phone. “Just ignore them. They’re only here to join the commotion.”

Old Master Yang would definitely not arrive so early.

“Alright.” Butler Xu nodded. “I will let the others know.”

The handover ceremony started.

Many people attended today’s handover ceremony.

The senior management of the Research Institute and the Xu family representatives had all arrived. Many incidents had occurred in the capital recently. Many families suddenly appeared, and their collaboration became more obvious.

The handover ceremony began at 9 am.

Butler Xu stood on the stage and said a few pleasantries before inviting Qin Ran and Fang Zhenbo out.

“Now, Director Fang will present the official seal to Miss Qin.” Butler Xu stepped aside.

Qin Ran was standing smartly. She glanced at Fang Zhenbo wearing a suit and politely said, “Director Fang.”

Fang Zhenbo ignored her. His voice was a little hoarse as usual, and he wasn’t holding the seal.

He only stared at Butler Xu. “Butler Xu, Student Qin Ran is still too young to take up this position. The Research Institute management decided that I take charge for now.”

Butler Xu’s expression changed. He initially thought that Fang Zhenbo would at least put up a performance and did not expect him to be so direct!

When Elder Xu and Elder Cheng were alive and Cheng Juan was still Third Young Master, Fang Zhenbo had his doubts, but now he didn’t even have to pretend anymore.

“Third Bro.” Cheng Wenru sat in the first row of the auditorium, frowning. “Did you invite the person I told you to invite?”

Cheng Juan continued to look at Qin Ran. “Yes.”

Cheng Wenru nodded solemnly. “I still don’t think it’s enough. Fang Zhenbo is not afraid at all and is obviously bullying Ran Ran!”

Cheng Juan tapped his fingers on the armrest emotionlessly. His expression turned dark.

On the stage, Butler Xu was also upset but held back his anger. “Director Fang, when do you think it will be appropriate, then?”

“When Student Qin Ran becomes a Level 1 researcher, I will naturally hand over the seal to her,” Fang Zhenbo said neither humbly nor overbearingly. “Seeing the Xu family’s condition now, Student Qin Ran won’t be able to manage the Research Institute properly. Tell me, who can she keep under control?”

This sentence made Butler Xu, the Xu family, Cheng Wenru, and the others furious.

To become a Level 1 researcher, one needed credentials, and it wasn’t easy to achieve in a few years. After a few years, who knew who would be in charge of the Research Institute?

Fang Zhenbo looked at Qin Ran and smiled. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the manager of the Research Institute below. They agreed to this together.”

He reached out and took out a few sheets of paper from his pocket.

He unfolded them.

Below the stage, the representatives of the major families weren’t surprised at all.

The Xu and Cheng families were unstable. With only the Qin family backing Qin Ran, it wasn’t strange that she ran into trouble with Fang Zhenbo.

Butler Xu pursed his lips. He looked at the second row where the management of the Research Institute was seated. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Qin Ran took the papers from Fang Zhenbo, looked at them, and tore them in half.

She narrowed her eyes and maintained her usual arrogance.

Fang Zhenbo looked up in disbelief. “How dare you!”

Qin Ran looked at him and smiled lightly. “Do you really think that I will compromise just because Teacher Xu is dead?”

“No. I think that you don’t want to stay in the Research Institute anymore.” Fang Zhenbo smiled.

At this time, a thick voice was heard at the doorway. “How exciting.”
