Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 352: Sister Ran: My Two Ordinary Friends

Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios

Ordinary people found it difficult to solve the sixth-order Rubik’s cube.

Not to mention solving the “H” face.

Shaking her head, Bai Tiantian pursed her lips. “Sorry…”

They had already found all the other five numbers and were lacking only one. The group of them was a little discouraged and unwilling to give up.

Half the time had passed already.

Jing Wen and the others turned the Rubik’s cube around in disbelief but still couldn’t grasp how it worked.

After trying it, they put it down. Jing Wen’s cousin was trying to reason with the director group.

Glancing at the Rubik’s cube, Qin Ran squeezed her fingers and casually took it.

“No problem. It’s already impressive that you managed to solve the sixth-order Rubik’s cube. I didn’t even know what it was.” Jing Wen comforted Bai Tiantian and then turned to the camera. “Stupid director, I think you’re purposely trying to make it impossible for us to escape, right?”

The director’s voice was very cool. “You only have ten minutes left. Players, you can choose to give up!”

Qin Xiuchen frowned and glanced around the room. Qin Ran had basically found all five of the numbers, so he really didn’t want to give up.

“Stupid…” Jing Wen’s cousin and Jing Wen started scolding the director team together.

At this time, someone said from behind, “The last number is 9.”

“How do you know…” Jing Wen’s cousin turned and paused halfway.

Every face on Qin Ran’s Rubik’s cube had formed the word “H.” Sitting on the table with her legs dangling, she casually pulled out a piece of paper with the letter “9” written in black on it.

1

What situation was this?

In the incessant waves of high energy, Jing Wen’s brain had already lost all thoughts.

2

She had tried the Rubik’s cube before talking to the director, but Qin Ran had solved it after she finished talking?

That was to say, she finished all the “H” faces within a minute while everyone was talking?

If she had solved the Rubik’s cube from the beginning, everyone wouldn’t have been so shocked. But… Bai Tiantian had used fifteen minutes to restore the Rubik’s cube, and Qin Ran had only used one minute…

Holding the paper in her hand, Qin Ran stood up from the table. “Can we go out now?”

1

Seeing how motionless the others were, she took the lead to the door, and then entered the numbers.

“Bam—”

The door opened.

Rays of sunlight shone in from outside.

Bai Tiantian followed behind Qin Xiuchen and the others. Staying at the back, she took off her microphone and asked Jing Wen’s cousin, “Is this Sister Qin Ran really Film Emperor Qin’s niece?”

Taking off his microphone as well, Jing Wen’s cousin stared at Qin Ran with a complicated expression. “She’s probably a rookie that the production team hired. She’ll probably leave after a few days when Xiao Ling’s foot is healed…”

He thought for a while and really didn’t know when Qin Xiuchen possibly had a niece and a nephew.

“Oh…” Staring at Qin Ran, Bai Tiantian’s expression darkened.

Having debuted for so long, she had always been helped for no reason. Her manager was right, Lady Luck always shone unfathomably on her.

In this reality show, both the Film Emperor and Empress were inside, and the Film Emperor’s popularity covered half of the entertainment industry. Bai Tiantian never dreamed of being valued by the production crew and knew that this was an excellent opportunity for her.

However…

Little did she expect that Qin Ran would appear and break her usual “Lady Luck.” She had a premonition that as long as Qin Ran was around, she wouldn’t stand out in the program…

“Di- Director, what about the following punishment?” Qin Ran’s escape had completely messed up the program’s plans.

Pressing his headset, the director asked the assistant director, “Didn’t you say they would never escape??”

The assistant director bit his fingers. Who knew that an artificial intelligence would barge into their production crew?

The director coldly and unilaterally cut off connection with the assistant director.

Then, he looked up and saw a group of people walking out of the house.

“Director.” Wearing a smile on his beautiful face, Qin Xiuchen walked slowly to the front, his back straightened, his body slender and beautiful. “What are the next arrangements?”

The director silently retracted his gaze.

The following arrangements?

We never expected you to escape this perverted room!

We had arranged the wool yarn punishment!

1

But thinking so, he still smiled in a very kind and beautiful way.

Although Qin Xiuchen’s appearance had indeed disrupted their plans, if they edited it well, it would definitely explode in popularity. Particularly because of the interaction between Qin Xiuchen, Qin Ran, Jing Wen, and the others. But the only thing was… their sugar daddy might not be very satisfied with Bai Tiantian’s screen time.

2

But this wasn’t something the director needed to worry over. He just had to make sure the program was attractive to viewers.

“Because you escaped from the room ahead of time, our program team has decided to let you go back in advance,” the director said in an amiable tone. “Also, as a reward, you can invite two friends in your circle to be guests tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” Qin Xiuchen squinted slightly.

Time was tight, but he had a lot of friends in the circle. If they insisted on finding friends, any two of them would come to give him face.

The director smiled. “Yes, Film Emperor Qin. Are you going to invite your friends?”

“Director.” The director only finished speaking when Bai Tiantian, who had kept quiet throughout, suddenly spoke, “Actually, we only escaped this time because of Sister Qin Ran. This reward is most suitable for her.”

1

She glanced at Qin Ran and smiled gently. “Sister Qin Ran, do you have any friends in your circle? If you do, you can invite them over.”

1

The director froze.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiuchen also paused and indifferently glanced at her.

Jing Wen pursed her lips and smiled. Under the camera, her voice was light, and she helped make excuses for Qin Ran. “How could such a good thing be monopolized by Little Ran Ran? Film Emperor Qin and I will not be shirked without dishonor!”

1

This variety show was very popular, and with Qin Xiuchen heading the guest list, they couldn’t casually invite any guests. Qin Ran was a school nerd of Beijing University, and birds of a feather flocked together. Most of her friends were probably school nerds as well, and at that time, the show’s effect would fall. And… the guests wouldn’t be mysterious and interesting.

1

The director and the program crew definitely didn’t want this to happen.

Smiling, Bai Tiantian realized that Jing Wen was helping Qin Ran. Thus, she lowered her eyes obediently and kept quiet.

The director heaved a sigh of relief and quickly glanced at them. “Film Emperor Qin, Film Empress Jing…”

As the director, he certainly hoped these two would invite guests.

Especially Qin Xiuchen.

The people he invited would be influential in the circle.

Retracting his gaze, Qin Xiuchen took a thermos cup from his manager and handed it to Qin Ran.

Then, he slowly said, “Sure.”

Overjoyed, the director told them to wrap up.

While sitting on the crew’s stool with her chin propped in her hands as she lazily stared at the mountainside, Qin Ran took the thermos cup from Qin Xiuchen and suddenly looked up. “Wait, can I invite my own friends too?” she asked the director.

2

The director was stunned. What was this computer bug trying to do?!

2

How could he not agree!

Under the many cameras, the director’s face stiffened. “This is your reward. Of course, you can.”

The escape room’s side codes had been found by her. She led the show all by herself, and all the others did was to help her open the piece of paper and do some physical work.

Under the camera, the director couldn’t possibly reject her if she wanted her own reward…

He just cautiously glanced at her. “Student Qin, are you going to invite your own friends?”

Unscrewing the lid of the thermos cup, she saw seven pieces of tea leaves inside and took a sip. Then, she narrowed her eyes, surveyed the crowd, and slowly replied, “Yeah.”

“Oh, how many?” The director counted in his heart. If she invited one, Qin Xiuchen could still make up for the other one.

“Two.” Qin Ran screwed the lid back on.

“What friends? Your classmates?” the director continued asking.

Standing up, Qin Ran squinted and replied, “Just two ordinary friends?”

1

The director nodded and wrapped up, full of worry.

1

Behind her, Bai Tiantian stared at Qin Ran’s back and almost burst out laughing. Did this Qin Ran have such a low EQ? Couldn’t she tell that the director obviously didn’t want her to invite her friends?

1

When this episode was broadcast, Film Emperor Qin’s fans would certainly curse her out.

Looking away, Bai Tiantian walked back to her car.

**

It was already 4 pm when the group packed up and returned to the hotel at the foot of the mountain.

The director went to the recording room to check today’s recording.

The assistant director asked, “Are you really letting Film Emperor Qin’s niece invite her friends over?”

“She’s from Beijing University, and her friends are probably all school tyrants. There’ll be nothing to watch…” The director flopped down on a chair.

The assistant director glanced at him. “What if she invites two computer bugs??”

1

The director was speechless.

He was now a little afraid of Beijing University’s school tyrants, and even the word “Beijing University” now cast a shadow in his mind.

Were all Beijing University’s school tyrants like this?

“Not necessarily. She’s still Film Emperor Qin’s niece.” He thought for a while and continued, “Film Emperor Qin might be dumb around her, but that doesn’t mean he’s dumb around her friends. I think he’ll probably want to introduce his connections to her.”

He pondered for a while. “I’ll ask Film Emperor Qin’s manager in the evening.”

**

Qin Xiuchen returned to his room. Qin Ling had finished his papers and was playing computer games now.

Qin Xiuchen took his clothes and took a bath.

Coming in with a notebook, the manager first checked Qin Ling’s paper. He only wrote down the answers and not the calculation process. “Did you copy the answers? It’s not good to copy answers. You should learn from your sister,” he earnestly lectured.

2

Qin Ling glanced at him, then calmly put on his earphones.

1

The manager was speechless. Bad kid!

He sat beside him, bored, and watched him play games.

Two minutes later, he walked away silently and sat down opposite Qin Ling to play with his phone.

It wasn’t until Qin Xiuchen came out that he stood up and opened the book. “These are some friends I found in the circle you can invite. They’re all trustworthy and can hold the scene.”

After working hard in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, there were rumors that he relied on the Qin family. However, he himself knew that what he accumulated bit by bit was all from his own social networking.

Opening the book, the manager revealed a list of twenty people who could spare their time tomorrow.

They were all famous big names in the entertainment circle.

Qin Ran wasn’t part of the circle, but Qin Xiuchen had already decided long ago to invite two friends in the circle in her name.

“These two are okay. They’re a similar age to your niece.” The manager circled two capable actors on the list.

They were all juniors of Qin Xiuchen who had filmed with him before and weren’t as popular, but their reputation and popularity were still remarkable.

Qin Xiuchen took a look and frowned. Although he wanted to invite more experienced people, their ages weren’t too suitable.

“Let’s go.” He took the list and went to knock on Qin Ran’s door, letting her choose whoever she pleased.

Qin Ran had just finished taking a shower. A lunch box was placed on her table.

Instead of wearing a nightgown in the day, she wore a white furry onesie. She opened the door to let Qin Xiuchen and the manager in.

Qin Xiuchen glanced at her. Qin Ran had always appeared cold, and he had never seen her wearing such furry-looking clothes. He wanted to rub her head affectionately at this special contrast.

3

But he didn’t dare to do so.

He just thought about it regretfully.

Her room was a little narrower. Qin Xiuchen sat down on a chair before pulling out the list and explaining his intentions, “Look at this list and see if there’s anyone you like.”

Qin Ran didn’t expect him to do this.

Glancing at the list of twenty names, she thought they must have put in quite an effort to collate this in a short time. Her eyebrows moved, and she finally leaned back after a long while and smiled with clear eyes. “No need. I’ll immediately contact two of my friends.”
