Also...

Cheng Mu looked at Cheng Juan. “Miss Qin and Mr. Ken...”

When he was drinking with Giant Crocodile, he had heard that Qin Ran and Kenneth had a rivalry between them.

These days, Qin Ran had been doing research and drawing in peace, and Cheng Juan wouldn’t let her touch anything violent.

If she had to go negotiate with Kenneth now...

With her originally fiery temper and particularly bad mood these days, Cheng Mu was afraid that if the negotiation with Kenneth fell through, Qin Ran would directly call Matthew over and catch Kenneth on the spot...

It might be better to find Qin Hanqiu instead. At least, he and Kenneth were brothers, and he could negotiate with him.

As for Qin Ran...

She only knew how to make big actions.

“It’s no problem,” Cheng Juan said calmly. He reached out to take off his lab coat and went out to look for Qin Ran.

Behind him, Cheng Mu stared at his back silently for a long time.

...

Qin Ran was having a video call with Lu Zhixin in her room at the moment.

“The model is ready, and several companies are trying it out. You can take a look at it if you’re free. I heard from your dad that you want to introduce portable 4D figures into the comics industry?” Lu Zhixin poured a glass of water at his desk.

His whole body was projected in the room in four dimensions.

While sitting in front of the computer, Qin Ran drew calmly and replied to him, “This is Shanghai’s Pinnacle Studios. We’ll start with a trial, then it’ll be the information age. The game warehouse might come out within 20 years, and people can enjoy completing various studies in the virtual space.”

Comics had to be included as well. This was Qin Ran, after all.

“Okay. It’s yours anyway, so it’s up to you. Your dad has asked the planning department to contact Pinnacle Studios. The Qin family has sent someone there to conduct a field trip as well, and the agreement has been signed.” Putting down his cup, Lu Zhixin looked up to see Cheng Juan coming in.

He left work and talked to Cheng Juan about Qin Ran’s recent situation.

The two elite big bosses drank tea and sat together facing the virtual projection. Cheng Juan even showed Lu Zhixin the barely visible four-dimensional color photos.

Qin Ran silently glanced at them, put down her pen, and picked up her phone to read her WeChat.

Pinnacle Studios’s high-level executive had very high work efficiency. Editors Shen and Liu had rather simple affairs.

She had been assigned to Editor Liu’s group.

So, Editor Shen had lied to her?

Frowning slightly, Qin Ran put down her phone and pondered slightly. She didn’t know Editor Liu, but she had indeed signed at Pinnacle Studios under Editor Shen.

She was just thinking about it when Editor Shen sent her a message.

Editor Shen: [A major event is underway within the group. I heard that there’s an internal test quota for a comic. Have you told Editor Liu?]

Qin Ran knew that Editor Shen was talking about the machine used by the Qin family.

She didn’t care much about this and casually said “yes”. Then, she typed another message asking about him.

Editor Shen: [I’m very busy these days and can’t bring you along with me. Look out for yourself with Editor Liu. You should also ask more about the recommendation and internal test quota.]

Editor Shen: [By the way, did Editor Liu ask you for the high-definitional promotional photos?]

Magic Lamp: [I didn’t give it to him.]

On the other end of the phone, Editor Shen was in a dilemma. Pinnacle Studios kept the author’s signing information confidential, and without the editing of the contract, the copy of the ID card would naturally not be taken out casually.

Furthermore, Magic Lamp had always been mysterious. There was almost zero news about this author, and most people didn’t even know she was a female.

A few people only knew that she was a female, but didn’t know her looks since she never participated in any activities.

Especially the rumors on the company and Weibo today...

It was rumored that the reason Magic Lamp never participated in events and didn’t have any pictures was that she was too ugly.

Editor Shen knew that Editor Liu must have spread this rumor.

However, it was not a day or two since this rumor had broken out.

Seeing that Magic Lamp’s reply was rather cold, Editor Shen comforted her cautiously: [It’s okay, it doesn’t matter whether or not you participate in publicity events. These days, we speak with strength.]

After consoling her, he sat back down on his chair, slightly frowning.

...

At the same time.

Editor Liu also received internal news that Pinnacle Studios was cooperating with Beijing’s Qin family.

Although Editor Liu didn’t care much about things and was rather carefree, he had a wide range of connections. The Qin family was an old family in Beijing and had been especially on the rise recently.

In Shanghai, though he didn’t know much about the forces in Beijing, he had still heard of the four major families.

Working with the Qin family was extremely important.

After receiving the internal news, he directly called Yiyi Zining.

“Zining, I have a piece of good news. The Qin family wants to cooperate with us in a new way of playing comics. There will be an internal test which I’m intending to recommend you for.” Editor Liu crossed his legs.

On the other end, Mu Zining was slightly stunned. “The Qin family?”

“According to the news I obtained, Beijing’s four major families are even more powerful than the Liu family. It’s an extremely rare opportunity to cooperate with the Qin family.” Editor Liu laughed.

Mu Zining knew what kind of person Editor Liu was, and her heart shuddered a little at the mention of the Liu family. Her hands tightened and she asked, “What do I need to prepare?”

She naturally wouldn’t let go of such a golden opportunity to cooperate with a big family.

“I’ll tell you more when we meet tomorrow.” Editor Liu hung up.

He had many authors under him, and the most popular ones were Yiyi Zining and Magic Lamp.

He directly signed up for Yiyi Zining in the internal quota.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Cheng Juan woke up early as usual.

After he returned from his morning run, Qin Ran had also just come back. She was lowering her head at the basin and squeezing toothpaste on her toothbrush.

Cheng Juan came in with a dry towel and, instead of immediately taking a shower, he just leaned over from behind. Holding the towel in one hand, he wrapped the other hand around her waist and lowered his head to meet her lips.

“I haven’t brushed my teeth.” Qin Ran held up her toothbrush.

Cheng Juan held her waist, his actions gentle and yet firm. Upon hearing this, he chuckled in a low voice. “It’s fine.”

He opened the bathroom door and went in to take a shower.

Breakfast.

Cheng Juan finished eating and watched as Qin Ran drank milk. “I’m going to the city center later. Do you want to come with me?”

“You can go first.” Qin Ran scrolled through WeChat while drinking milk.

Cheng Juan didn’t reply.

After a pause, he glanced at her again and said slowly, “Don’t fight with Kenneth.”

He thought for a while and continued, “... Don’t use Giant Crocodile and Matthew to threaten him.”

“I won’t.” Qin Ran looked at the message from Ning Wei and said lazily, “I’m not that kind of person.”

With Cheng Mu around, Cheng Juan wasn’t very worried and just nagged a little more. “Be careful on your own. Call me if there’s anything.”

Qin Ran didn’t bother nodding and just held up an “OK” sign.

After Cheng Juan left to handle his business, Qin Ran remained at home for another 10 minutes before leaving for the Liu family’s house with Cheng Mu.

...

The Liu family’s house was heavily guarded today, and bodyguards were all around.

Mu Zining originally wanted to find Editor Liu, but her car couldn’t enter.

She stopped at the big intersection and waited for a long time before Editor Liu came out.

“What’s going on?” Mu Zining looked past him to the end of the road.

“A big figure is coming today.” Editor Liu was the Liu family’s illegitimate son, the fourth young master of the Liu family. He pushed his sunglasses and said casually, “I don’t know who it is, but it’s not something we can handle anyway. The Liu family is strictly guarded today and you can’t enter. Let’s find another place.”

He then left with her.

Although shocked, Mu Zining remained silent and only glanced behind him.

A black car happened to be driving over at the moment. The bodyguard that had blocked her just now directly let the black car in.

Inside this black car were Qin Ran and Cheng Mu.

The road was full of precautions.

Cheng Mu slowly stopped the car at the Liu family’s house gate.

Master Liu had already taken a few confidants and was standing at the door to welcome them.

When the car stopped, he immediately walked over and ushered them in.

“Madam Cheng.” He greeted Qin Ran politely.

“The sun is too strong, let’s go in first.” Qin Ran quickly buckled a hat on her head.

Master Liu glanced behind her. “Where’s Mr. Cheng?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, he isn’t coming today. He’s busy with other things.” Qin Ran stopped and glanced at him. “I’ll be handling the matters today.”

“Mr. Cheng isn’t coming today?” Upon hearing this, Master Liu and Liu Jue’s expressions changed.

If Cheng Juan wasn’t coming today, then how were they going to continue the negotiations?

Master Liu didn’t know who he was negotiating with this time. He only heard that Cheng Jin was a very powerful character and that Cheng Juan was involved in the rest of the affairs.

Walking in front and seeing that Master Liu and the rest were still standing on the spot, Qin Ran raised an eyebrow. “Is there something else? Let’s go in.”

“Madam Cheng, I’ll let Liu Jue take you indoors to rest.” Master Liu glanced at her and said solemnly.

He obviously didn’t intend to bring her to the negotiation scene.

“It’s fine, I’ll be coming with you.” Qin Ran put her hand in her pocket.

Master Liu was in a serious mood now that Cheng Juan wasn’t here. He was a little hesitant but still agreed to it.

Beside him, the other family members saw that Master Liu really took Qin Ran inside and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Master Liu...”

“It’s okay, it’s just one more person.” Master Liu held up his hand and asked them to remain silent. Without Cheng Juan this time, the negotiation would definitely fail.

Along the way, the Liu family remained silent, and the atmosphere was heavy.

They soon arrived at the destination.
