"I won't leave Beijing, " Qin Ran looked up and said straightforwardly.
If Principal Xu was still alive, Qin Ran might not be too involved in this matter.
But Principal Xu was dead.
He had desperately left the Research Institute to her.
She would guard it.
As for Fang Zhenbo, she wanted to know what he had up his sleeves.
When she lowered her head, her eyes were cold.
Scholar Liao looked at her for a long time and wasn't surprised by her answer. He only nodded."Okay, five professors. I invite you to return! Now, I'm the only one on Ran Ran's side in the Research Institute. I hope you can return and help her!"
He didn't wish to see her cut off from others.
Qin Ran looked at him and tightened her grip on the cup in her hands. She opened her mouth and was about to say something.
But Professor Qi turned to her and said first, "I'll naturally protect Elder Ning's offspring, but..." He smiled bitterly."I might not be able to help much now. I've already left the institute."
Qin Ran stood up and bowed to them with red eyes.
She tightened her grip.
Liao Gaoang already knew that these five Ning'er's right-hand men wouldn't resign. After solving this matter, he turned to Nan Huiyao and the others on the side."You should know the situation of the Research Institute at the moment, and how most people are on Fang Zhenbo's side. Nan Huiyao, Chu Heng... If the four of you decide to leave, I'll decide for Ran Ran, and definitely won't blame you."
Chu Heng and the others already understood the current situation.
Putting his hand in his pocket, Xing Kai looked up."Scholar Liao, are you kidding? How could I leave?"
What was he without Qin Ran?
Chu Heng and Nan Huiyao also casually sat down. They spoke with the arrogance and persistence of youngsters."Scholar Liao, you can continue."
Scholar Liao felt a little moved at the moment.
Smiling, he nodded and said solemnly, "Since that's the case, then you must withhold it and persist. Fang Zhenbo is right. There won't be any high-level personnel on our side in the Research Institute. We're on our own, and it's difficult to support ourselves."
Nan Huiyao and Chu Heng nodded solemnly.
Professor Qi also said seriously, "You're still young, sigh... With Fang Zhenbo here, we can only survive in the cracks."
As the group engaged in discussion, a knock on the door was heard.
Who was it at this time?
"I'll go and open the door." Nan Huiyao was standing behind Qin Ran's sofa.
She was the first to turn around to open the door.
Outside stood Scholar Lu and Scholar Sheng.
Nan Huiyao had a deep memory of these two being arrogant in the laboratory in the past two days. She took a step back and froze slightly."Scholar Sheng, Scholar Lu? Please come in."
She turned sideways and let them in.
Nan Huiyao's voice wasn't low, and the others in the lounge all heard her.
Scholar Liao's eyes turned solemn.
Standing up, he stood in front of Qin Ran, blocking her from the two scholars."Scholar Sheng, Scholar Lu, do you have any problems with your research?"
Chu Heng, Xing Kai, and Brother Ye also looked behind them, as if facing their enemy.
"Of course not, Scholar Liao. We're here to find Miss Qin, " said Scholar Lu with a smile. His tone was very polite and not at all as aggressive as before."Scholar Liao, you and Miss Qin must forgive us for the rudeness we've shown in the past few days. As you all know, this is due to Director Fang's provocation. We're naturally on Miss Qin's side."
He took out a gift box prepared by the assistant and handed it to Qin Ran."This is my show of apology to Miss Qin and Scholar Liao. Please forgive me."
Scholar Sheng also followed suit and took out the gift box he prepared."Miss Qin, this is mine. From now on, I'll follow you."
Qin Ran glanced at them and remained silent.
At the Research Institute, she now only had people like Brother Ye, who was her future cadre. Since they were still young, only Scholar Liao could manage the overall situation. The five old professors still needed time to adjust and could only help her secretly.
Scholar Sheng and Scholar Lu had average characters, but...
Qin Ran understood the cold world. After all, she had nothing to do with these two people previously.
Standing beside Qin Ran, Cheng Shui glanced at her and guessed what she was thinking.
He reached out to accept the gift boxes with a smile and helped Qin Ran handle them."Thank you, fellow scholars. We'll all be one family in the future."
He was better than Cheng Mu at handling such matters.
Seeing Cheng Shui accept the gifts, Scholar Sheng and Scholar Lu heaved sighs of relief. They exchanged a few words with Cheng Shui and then left.
After they had left.
The other professors were rather quiet in the lounge.
Cheng Shui opened the gift at will."A big rough diamond? Miss Qin, this is a great gift. Those two are serious. They have good taste, no wonder they climbed up to this position."
Cheng Shui really admired them for daring to choose the young Qin Ran.
As soon as he said this, the lounge became quieter.
Scholar Liao turned to Qin Ran, looking incredulous and in disbelief.
With a slightly pale face, Qin Ran turned sideways and reached out for the rough diamond in the box. She put her hand on her chin and commented."The color is average."
It wasn't as good as Gu Xichi's.
Cheng Shui also nodded and said calmly, "It is indeed."
"With Scholar Sheng and the others on our side, we won't be under too much pressure." Qin Ran looked at Scholar Liao, Professor Qi, and the others."Professor Qi, you can do your research quietly. Let me handle the rest."
"Then, the Yunguang Consortium..."
Qin Ran put her hands behind her and said lightly, "I'll handle it."
Scholar Sheng and Scholar Lu's actions had been beyond her expectations, but it was a good thing for her.
"Professor Qi, I'll go back to deal with something first. See you tomorrow." She bowed again to the five professors and left with Cheng Shui.
After the two left, the lounge was still quiet.
Professor Qi was still holding a teacup. The five professors were shocked."Those two... Who are they?"
"They're the two scholars of the Research Institute and are people in charge too, " Chu Heng said respectfully.
"Oh." Professor Qi took two seconds to react."Wait, who?"
Xing Kai scratched his head honestly and looked at Scholar Liao."Scholar Liao, didn't you say that we would be left alone? What about Scholar Lu and Scholar Sheng?"
Having slapped himself in the face with that sentence, Scholar Liao was speechless.
How was he to know??
