Cheng Juan hadn't read much into it when Elder Xu mentioned his heir back in Yun Cheng.
He just wondered how crazy the person was for rejecting him.
It wasn't until a series of things came together later, when he noticed Elder Xu's anxiety over Qin Ran's injured hand, that he started harboring doubts in his heart. Later, his doubts were directly confirmed when her scores in the joint exam came out.
He slowly tapped the phone with his fingers.
Cheng Jin had already contacted all the higher-ups. Since he didn't dare to go to the study room upstairs occupied by Qin Ran, he carried his computer to his room downstairs.
As soon as he placed it on the table, several people sitting at a big round table appeared on the screen.
Their expressions were serious, and their voices were heavy."Mr. Cheng Jin, what happened to the corporation?"
Such emergency meetings rarely occurred.
"Move the headquarters." Cheng Jin pulled out a document from his desk and flipped through it.
In the video, a middle-aged man with gold rim glasses paused."Move to where?"
"To Beijing." Cheng Jin raised his eyes. He had already ordered his subordinates to choose a base in Beijing.
"Beijing?" The group of people in the video exchanged glances."I heard that the Yunguang Consortium just moved to Beijing..."
Why did they have to move their headquarters to Beijing all of a sudden? Why was Beijing attracting all the big bosses?
Were they gathering together for a meeting?
After hanging up the video, Cheng Jin saw Cheng Mu carefully pushing the study door open with a shovel in his hands.
"Be careful, I brought this carpet back from Continent M." Cheng Jin pointed to the shovel, still stained with soil.
Looking down at the shovel, Cheng Mu directly stuffed it into his pocket."Brother, what are you doing?"
"Selling clothes, " Cheng Jin casually replied as he logged into the social software, received a copy of the information, and clicked on it to select the address.
Cheng Mu: "... Huh?"

The next day on Monday morning, Cheng Juan sent Qin Ran to the school gate.
Holding a book as well as a notebook in one hand, and a peaked cap on the other, she waved to the back without looking behind.
In the driver's seat, Cheng Juan leaned back lazily, staring at her quietly with his dark eyes. When his mobile phone rang, he didn't rush to pick it up.
It wasn't until Qin Ran's figure disappeared that he lazily reached out to look at it. It was a call from Cheng Wenru.
Picking up, he looked away and said, "Speak."
Cheng Wenru was already used to his attitude. She was still in the Cheng family's old house at the moment. Glancing at Old Master Cheng and Cheng Raohan, she walked into the courtyard and glanced at the bird perched on the promenade opposite."Remember the real estate opposite my office building?"
"Why?" Cheng Juan started the car, resting his left hand on the steering wheel and holding his phone in his left hand.
His eyelashes drooped slightly as he looked at the steering wheel. After a while, he let go of it.
"Someone wants to buy it." Cheng Wenru stuck one hand in her pocket.
For such things, the person-in-charge of the Financial Center would naturally notify the Cheng family as soon as possible.
Her company's address was in the Financial Center building, and although she only rented one floor, each floor was large enough for a medium-sized enterprise.
The scale of the building opposite was a hundred times larger than hers, which was why she was surprised.
Even after counting the current domestic enterprises, she still couldn't figure out who had the wealth to buy it.
Knocking on the steering wheel, without a significant change in his expression, Cheng Juan just indifferently replied, "Hmm. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
Cheng Wenru didn't dare to talk smack with him now and soon heard the phone's busy tone.
Looking down at the phone, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she returned to the Cheng family's hall.
While holding a cup of tea, Cheng Raohan saw her coming in with her phone and said in a slightly mocking tone, "I already told you. What's the point of saying so much nonsense to him?"

At the same time.
Qin Ran walked to the nuclear engineering classroom with her books.
It was just past 7 o'clock at the moment, and not many people were on the road. As soon as she arrived on the second floor, she saw Nan Huiyao leaning on the corridor, waiting for people.
She seemed a little sleepy and was yawning lazily.
But when she saw her walking up the stairs, she stood up straight and exclaimed, "Ran Ran!"
"Looking for me?" Qin Ran calmly opened the lecture hall door with a key. She found a quiet position by the door, threw her books down with a "pop, " and then raised her chin to gesture for Nan Huiyao to sit in front."Tell me, what's the matter?"
She sat against the wall with her eyebrows slightly lowered.
"Ran Ran, do you have a beef with Leng Peishan?" Nan Huiyao casually asked while lying on the table next to her.
Flipping through the new textbook, Qin Ran lowered her eyes and calmly replied, "No, I've never hit her before."
Nan Huiyao almost choked to death. She glanced speechlessly at her."... I know."
What did she mean by that?
"You came to find me just for this?" Qin Ran glanced up.
Sitting up straight, Nan Huiyao continued, "No, the class monitor asked me to ask if you have time this Saturday night? Other classes had dinner after military training, but our class had yet to hold one."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ran looked away nonchalantly."Just tell me the specific time and place."
"Okay." Shocked, Nan Huiyao stood up with her hands on the table."I'll tell the class monitor later. I'll go eat breakfast first, then. Bye!"
She walked to the door and waved to her.
After eating, she walked to the teaching building. Her phone vibrated with a message from the Student Union, informing her of a meeting at noon.
At noon.
Instead of eating after class, she rushed to the complex.
The Student Union was divided into different grades, and the office department had the most authority.
Nan Huiyao and Leng Peishan both entered the office department.
During the meeting, Nan Huiyao and a short-haired girl both sat at the back of the table, while Leng Peishan sat beside the office director. Everyone in the office knew that Leng Peishan was close to the seniors and that she was the Student Union's famous newcomer.
After the meeting, several directors went to dinner.
Glancing at the rest of the people in the office, Leng Peishan pursed her lips and smiled."Who else wants to play games with me at night?"
"Me!"
"Beauty Leng, bring me along!"
"..."
Leaving the rare lively office, Nan Huiyao took her textbooks back to the bedroom, followed by the short-haired girl."Nan Huiyao, what happened to you and Leng Peishan? I remember you two were very good roommates and even played together a few days ago. Why haven't I seen you two playing games together in the past few days?"
"It's nothing, " Nan Huiyao lightly said.
Glancing behind to make sure they were alone, the short-haired girl continued in a whisper, "People in our department know that Leng Peishan has people supporting her. She even has God cards in the game. In Beijing's deep waters, it's best not to have a beef with her over nothing."
The short-haired girl was also in the Computer Science Department, where Leng Peishan was famous, so she knew much more than Nan Huiyao.
She was also Nan Huiyao's only friend outside of the Physics Department. Upon hearing this, Nan Huiyao turned and smiled at her."Thanks."
"No need to thank me, just remember what I said." The short-haired girl patted her on the shoulder."Our professor talked about the Yunguang Consortium in class before, but I don't think you've heard of it... It's too troublesome to explain. Just remember to avoid Leng Peishan."
On the way to the cafeteria, Nan Huiyao took out her phone to search for the Yunguang Consortium.

A week passed quickly, and Saturday soon arrived.
Class 1 gathered together.
Qin Ran was the last to arrive.
As a local, Chu Heng had chosen a large room based on Class 1's specific situation. Inside were three tables and a few pieces of entertainment equipment.
While the boys drank alcohol, Qin Ran and Nan Huiyao sat beside them drinking juice.
A series of facilities such as billiard tables and computers were also placed not far away.
Instead of drinking too much, some of the boys took cues to play billiards, some took microphones to sing, some yelled to play games on the computer, while some played poker cards.
Xing Kai and Chu Heng came over with a can of beer. Xing Kai sat down opposite Nan Huiyao and Qin Ran."Why don't you guys play with them?"
"Too lazy." Nan Huiyao leaned back in her chair.
"I can't believe someone like you who loves to play games can be lazy too." Taking a sip of beer, Xing Kai chuckled."Why haven't I seen you teaming up with Leng Peishan recently..."
Before he finished speaking, Nan Huiyao glanced at him.
He smiled sheepishly and stopped talking.
Playing the barrier-breaking game on her phone with one hand, Qin Ran took a glass of water and slowly drank."Leng Peishan?" she asked.
Nan Huiyao had also mentioned her before without finishing her words.
Xing Kai quickly explained to her, "The one in your dorm room. She played games with us on Monday, and she even has God cards in her account. Although her game skills are average, the God cards are pretty cool..."
Having heard enough of Leng Peishan, Nan Huiyao put down the cup and stood up.
Sitting in front of an empty machine, she logged into her game account."Who wants to team up with me?"
"No, Sister Nan, we've already formed a team. We'll bring you along in the next game!" The boys immediately replied.
While the game loaded, Nan Huiyao casually clicked on it. Someone had sent a message to the team that Qin Ran had pulled her into.
She casually clicked it.
