"That's right." Qin Xiuchen snapped his fingers and lifted his chin to the manager."Bring the files from my study."
Knowing what information he was talking about, the manager quickly handed the printed information on Qin Yu to Butler Qin.
Only when Butler Qin left did he turn to look at Qin Xiuchen.
Qin Xiuchen rubbed his eyebrows."What is it?"
"Does your niece have any intention of entering the entertainment industry?" The manager walked over to him."Look at her face, she was born to be in this industry. It just so happens that your studio wants to sign a newbie. What's better than putting your niece under your nose?"
The manager was naturally talking about Qin Ran.
"With your status in the entertainment industry and your large number of resources, she won't be dragged to messy banquets and will have you covering for her. From then on, you two will sweep the domestic entertainment circle..."
Imagining this scene as he spoke, he flushed with excitement and reached out to pat the table.
Qin Xiuchen tapped his finger on the sofa and glanced at him."It depends on the situation. You can do anything if you can get her to enter the entertainment industry."
He just felt like... Qin Ran didn't seem the type to want to enter the entertainment industry.
With her looks, she couldn't have not been approached by scouts before.
In fact...
He thought of the car he saw that night...
The manager stood up, his face filled with joy."Then, give me her contact information!"
Instead of giving it to him, Qin Xiuchen lightly said, "Go to Xiao Ling for it."
Taking out his phone, he clicked on Qin Ran's saved contact and stared at it for a long time before opening WeChat and flipping through the "Add Friends" page. Quickly, he found her contact number and clicked on it. The avatar was blank, and nothing was written on her profile. He neatly filled in two words in the verification message—
[Qin Xiuchen. ]

Butler Qin had already returned to the Qin family's old house.
He was looking at the information in his room now.
Outside, Ah Wen knocked on the door.
Putting down his reading glasses, Butler Qin said in a deep voice, "Come in."
"Butler Qin." Ah Wen walked over, his eyes shaking slightly, and his voice almost breaking when he saw the documents on his desk."129's information? How did you obtain it?"
On the information page that Qin Xiuchen had printed, the lower right corner held 129's emblem.
After being in the Qin family's house for so long, how could he not know Beijing's forces?
The previous year, the Qin family hadn't been so severely split, and there had been more than a dozen programmers in the family. But in the last year, the Fourth Master had managed to break the Qin family one by one in that short time. It was mostly because Ouyang Wei was a member of 129 and found a lot of internal information about the Qin family. As an unscrupulous person, it was only reasonable for the Qin family to decline under his hands.
The four major families all wanted to annex the emerging power, 129.
But not to mention other people, just Lone Wolf and Giant Crocodile alone would deter all the forces from stepping beyond the prescribed limit.
"Sixth Master gave me the information on Qin Yu." Butler Qin put down the documents.
Noticing his strange expression, Ah Wen glanced up involuntarily."What's wrong?"
Butler Qin sneered."She's fastidious but incompetent. She almost unilaterally broke off the father-daughter relationship with the Second Master. Since she wants to be rid of us, just leave her alone."
Nodding, Ah Wen glanced at the documents at the side and remembered why he was looking for him."I've looked through the monitoring of the Second Master's room."
"How is it?" Butler Qin stood up with his hands on the table.
"You'll know when you see it." Ah Wen didn't know what to say, and his expression was a little weird.
Putting aside the matter at hand, Butler Qin followed Ah Wen to Ah Hai's to take a look.
The video was being processed there.
When Ah Hai saw Butler Qin, he directly opened the two-minute surveillance video without a word.
Butler Qin finished looking at it and noticed some people coming and going.
"Which one?" he asked Ah Hai.
After a moment of silence, Ah Hai lowered his head and pointed his finger to the time on the monitor."Look again."
The time was displayed above the surveillance video.
Taking a closer look, Butler Qin found the problem. On the Mid-Autumn Festival day, two minutes each of surveillance from 11 am and 8 pm had been skipped.
"When I first got it, the total video duration was 36 hours. But just now, there was a sudden loss of four minutes." Ah Hai glanced at the computer with an unpredictable expression."Butler Qin, someone has hacked me under my nose. I have yet to find the deleted video."
Although Ah Hai wasn't a professional hacker, he was still a senior programmer of the Qin Corporation. His hacking level wasn't comparable to that of masters, but he was still much better than ordinary people. He had built up firewalls on his computer by himself.
Someone had tampered with the data on his firewall and taken the opportunity to delete the video. Who could do this...
"Butler Qin, the other party is probably a very powerful hacker." Ah Hai looked up expectantly."If he could help us..."
Sitting across from him, Butler Qin asked, "But... how could the Second Master know such a person?"
Butler Qin couldn't understand it. It wasn't that he looked down on Qin Hanqiu, but given his living environment, he didn't look like someone who would know such people. Realizing the countless riddles waiting to be answered, his head started aching.

The next day.
Beijing University, at the intersection.
Qin Yu came out of class holding a pile of books and saw Xu Yaoguang standing there.
She was stunned.
Ever since the college entrance examination, she had never seen Xu Yaoguang, nor had he looked for her. Thus, the two had almost lost contact.
She hadn't heard of him after coming to Beijing University, which was how she realized he wasn't schooling here.
Standing there holding the book, she thought for a while before walking to him."Young Master Xu, why are you here?"
If it had been a month ago, she wouldn't have been so passionate about him. But now...
She pursed her lips slightly.
Putting his hands in his pockets, Xu Yaoguang glanced at the crowd and paused when he heard her. He nodded slightly at her and replied, "I'm waiting for Qiao Sheng."
"By the way, which school did you apply for?" Qin Yu nodded.
"I didn't apply for college." Having seen Qiao Sheng, Xu Yaoguang waved at him and spoke calmly in a clear tone, "My grandpa didn't let me continue studying."
"You're not going to college?" Qin Yu looked a little stunned. She raised her head and glanced at him before smiling reluctantly."Young Master Xu, are you lying to me?"
What was he doing if he wasn't attending college?
"I'm really not studying anymore." With Qiao Sheng a few steps away, Xu Yaoguang glanced at Qin Yu and said, "We're going to eat, do you want to come?"
She shook her head, a little afraid of Qiao Sheng, especially after Qin Ran's incident."No."
Xu Yaoguang didn't say much. He had always been cold, and after so many months of not seeing him, she thought he seemed to have changed a lot.
After he left, Qin Yu's classmate of the same major came over and asked her who the boy just now was."He's so handsome, he's comparable to our School Hunk Song. He's not from our school, is he?"
"He's not." Qin Yu smiled. After the incident, she had asked the counselor to change her dormitory."He scored 732 in the college entrance examination and ranked second in the nation."
There were sounds of exclamation all around, but she glanced at Xu Yaoguang's back and pursed her lips.
She didn't know if Qiao Sheng would tell him what happened on the Internet...

In Qin Ran's bedroom.
Nan Huiyao noticed that her potted flower was different today.
But Qin Ran was wearing headphones and writing some music that she didn't understand. After finishing the homework set by the professor, Nan Huiyao turned on the computer and asked if anyone in the class wanted to play games together.
Not long after, Leng Peishan, who rarely returned, came back.
She put the bag on her desk and glanced at Nan Huiyao and Yang Yi."Do you know that your Physics Department is having a lecture tomorrow?"
Letting go of the keyboard, Nan Huiyao's eyes lit up."Are you talking about our School Hunk Song? Of course." She sighed."But I couldn't get the ticket."
Beijing University's Lecture Hall was only so big and couldn't sit everyone in the Physics Department.
It wouldn't matter if it was someone else, but it just had to be Song Luting, who moved in and out with wizardly elusiveness. Not to mention the Physics Department, even the English Department was frantically rushing for tickets.
Although originally intended for the Physics Department's freshmen, the group of freshmen couldn't grab their share in the end.
Out of all the students of different years and majors, the Physics Department became the worst freshmen in the end.
Their tickets were few and far between.
Nan Huiyao now recognized the terror of a fan circle.
"I have two tickets here, given to me by a senior. Do you guys want to go?" Leng Peishan took out two tickets from her pocket and handed them to Nan Huiyao.
Nan Huiyao's eyes lit up."You managed to get them?!"
"My seniors happen to know Senior Song." Leng Peishan smiled.
"You know Song Luting?" Nan Huiyao kicked her legs."Have you seen him in person?"
Sitting on the chair, Leng Peishan glanced at Qin Ran after handing the tickets to Nan Huiyao. She was still wearing headphones as if she hadn't heard them."I've met him once. I'll bring you guys along the next time I have a chance."
Qin Ran's phone was playing songs, and the headphones were specially made so that she couldn't hear background noise.
A phone call came in at this time.
Glancing at it, she hung up instead of picking up and then got up.
Nan Huiyao glanced at her."Wait, Ran Ran. Are you going to eat? Let's go together!"
She followed her with her meal card.
Qin Ran glanced at her and shook her phone."I am, but I'm meeting a few friends."
"Who?"
