<h4>Chapter 331: Meeting</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Qin Xiuchen had his own studio and connections.


    Since Butler Qin hadn’t been able to find out, he had to check the matter himself.


    The soup outside was still boiling as he clicked on the top email.


    The attached file was about 100kb. He downloaded it and nced roughly at it. He had a good memory and hardly spent much effort memorizing lines during filming.


    Although this document was very long, he read ten lines at a nce and finished it in less than ten minutes.


    A few photos were attached at the bottom.


    Qin Xiuchen couldn’t help but frown.


    Worry flooded his heart.


    After meeting Qin Ling, he had great expectations for his two sisters, but he didn’t expect to receive such content.


    When someone knocked on the door outside, he released the mouse. “Come in.”


    “Film Emperor Qin, how long has your soup been simmering?” The manager came in wearing an apron.


    “I stewed it in the afternoon. Turn off the heat after another twenty minutes.” Qin Xiuchen opened the drawer and took out a cigarette.


    Surprised, the manager stared at him. “What happened? Someone put you in a bind, or did something bad happen on Fourth Master’s side?”


    “Neither. I found some information.” Qin Xiuchen turned theptop sideways and turned to the manager. “Take a look.”


    The manager pushed the sses on the bridge of his nose.


    His eyes narrowed. “Qin Yu?”


    He read slower than Qin Xiuchen but also frowned halfway through the document. “No, Xiuchen, listen to me. We can’t acknowledge this person.”


    This document was surprisingly Qin Yu’s data.


    The flyleaf of each page had a 129 mark. The manager had known Qin Xiuchen for many years and naturally knew his social connections.


    If it was 129, it was certainly real.


    The information was very detailed, including stuff like how Qin Yu never saw Qin Hanqiu after going to the Lin family’s house, and how she avoided other people at school every time...


    Some information about Ning Qing was also included...


    “I know.” Qin Xiuchen flicked the soot. “Xiao Ling seems to like her very much.”


    Without Qin Ling, even if the Qin family took Qin Yu back with great fanfare, Qin Xiuchen wouldn’t even spare her a nce.


    “That’s not the way.” The manager sighed. “Once we acknowledge this Qin Yu, havoc will ensue.”


    “I’ll ask Xiao Ling about itter.” Qin Xiuchen smiled faintly and snuffed out the cigarette butt. He didn’t believe Qin Ling liked Qin Yu so much, and he remembered Butler Qin saying that there were two daughters.


    He had also asked Qin Ling in the car today.


    At the mention of his sister, Qin Ling shut up and looked back to y his game console without a word.

    Beijing University, in the female dormitory.


    Instead of going to the library at night, Qin Ran took a shower, then sat down with a stack of nk papers.


    She wrote a line of notes on the paper.


    Yan Xi’s music style was changeable. Last year, it was mainly an ethnic lyrical style, but this year, it was rock and roll.


    It was a big breakthrough. Qin Ran failed to receive inspiration and just crushed one paper after the after.


    “Ran Ran, you’ve studied music before?” Nan Huiyao sat on the table beside her, about to call her to join a game. Seeing Qin Ran drawing notes on the paper, she couldn’t help but withdraw her gaze.


    In her earphones, the boys in her ss asked, “Nan Huiyao, how is it? Is Qin Ran ying?”


    “Nope,” Nan Huiyao retracted her gaze and said quietly.


    ss 1’s boys were taken aback. “Is she still reading?”


    “No.” Nan Huiyao chose her card. “You might not believe it, but she’s writing down musical notes.”


    Qin Ran wrote for a while and found it unsatisfactory.


    Putting the pen down, she received a WeChat video call at this moment.


    It was He Chen.


    She thought about it before taking her earphones to the balcony and picking up.


    “I took an order today.” In the video, He Chen took a can of beer from the refrigeration, walked to the sofa, and opened it with one hand.


    Leaning on the balcony, Qin Ran put on the earphones and raised an eyebrow. “Is it rted to me?”


    “Almost,” He Chen said. “It’s mainly to check on Qin Hanqiu’s children. I only realized the connection to you after checking, so I erased your information and only left Qin Yu’s.”


    He Chen had never investigated Qin Ran’s general information. She only found out that she was Qin Yu’s older sister after checking this time.


    Qin Ran guessed who it was after hearing this.


    Half-sitting on the balcony, she bit the leaf she just picked from the flower and said rather indifferently, “Go on.”


    “The person who ced the order is Qin Xiuchen.” He Chen sat down on the sofa and took a sip of beer. “He helped me once when I was a paparazzi and is part of the Qin family. Do you want me and the Boss to help you solve this trouble?”


    “No need.” Smiling, Qin Ran reached out and jumped down from the balcony. She spat out the leaf from her mouth with eyebrows and eyes soaked with a certain bright and distinct evil spirit under the dim lights. “I’ll do it myself.”


    “Understood.” He Chen wasn’t concerned. Squeezed the beer can, she casually threw it, and it flew directly into the trash can with a “bang.” “I’m hanging up.”

    The next day.


    Qin Ran received Qin Ling’s call early in the morning.


    “What’s the matter?” Qin Ran took her backpack and went to the library.


    On the other end, Qin Ling was sitting on the toilet seat. He whispered, “Sister, can I participate in a variety show with Uncle? He said it’s very fun.”


    Qin Ran understood that this Uncle should be Qin Xiuchen, the one He Chen talked aboutst night.


    This was the first time Qin Ling showed such obvious affection for someone.


    “Fun?” Walking over to thest row of the table by the window, she threw her backpack onto the table, leaned against the chair, and started fiddling with the earphone cable.


    “I’m not sure, so I’m asking you,” Qin Ling whispered.


    Qin Ran unzipped her bag and took out a textbook as well as a notebook. “What about your Dad? You can discuss it with him.”


    “I can’t find him.” Qin Ling nced at the closed door and lowered his voice further. “He’s too gullible.”


    In short, Qin Ling didn’t trust Qin Hanqiu’s IQ.


    Smiling, Qin Ran seemed in a good mood. “You’re right. How about this? Do you and Uncle have time tonight?”


    Qin Ling was shocked. “... Sister?”


    “I want to talk about the variety show with him.” Qin Ran nced at the studentsing in one after another. “I’ll hang up first.”


    On the other end, Qin Ling stared at his phone in disbelief.


    After a long while, he sent a message—


    [Sister, are you going to see Uncle?]


    In the library, Qin Ran went to the bookshelf and found two books. When she saw Qin Ling’s message, she replied distastefully—


    [Yes.]


    **


    Qin Ran’s schedule was packed today, and she had herst lesson at 5:30 pm.


    Not many people were outside the school at this time.


    She didn’t return to her bedroom to change her clothes.


    Walking outside with her backpack, she easily grabbed a taxi at the school gate. She checked the address sent by Qin Ling, took a taxi, and finally stopped by a quiet restaurant.


    Not far away.


    While talking to someone, Cheng Jin noticed that Cheng Juan had stopped in his tracks, as if he had seen something.


    “Master Juan?” He also paused and nced in the same direction, but saw nothing.


    Taking out a cigarette, Cheng Juan snorted softly, and his eyebrows drooped expressionlessly. “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”


    Cheng Jin nodded and continued reporting his work.


    Absent-mindedly, Cheng Juan bit the cigarette and didn’t light it. He took out his phone and pressed on the screen several times with his bony fingers. After a long while, he sent a message—


    [What are you doing?]


    **


    Upstairs, inside the restaurant.


    Qin Ling was ying games with headphones on. After just finding out who he was meeting tonight, the manager lowered his voice and asked Qin Xiuchen, “Film Emperor Qin, you’re too impulsive. That Qin Yu is obviously scheming. If she knows that you’re her Uncle, she’ll definitely make incessant use of you.”


    It wouldn’t have any substantial impact on Qin Xiuchen, but it would certainly be disgusting.


    The manager had read through the information given by Qin Xiuchenst night. Many people like Qin Yu existed in the entertainment industry.


    Qin Hanqiu still worked as hardbor and had never witnessed what Qin Yu did. She was living in the Lin family’s house as if she had forgotten her father’s existence.


    Of course, such people were verymon in reality. Her mother, for example.


    “It’s going to be big trouble if she really wants to enter the entertainment industry at that time.” The manager sighed. Qin Xiuchen’s spotless history might now be stained by Qin Yu from now on.


    Qin Xiuchen poured a ss of wine for the manager, his demeanor gentle and elegant. “No hurry, it might be better than you imagine.”


    He nced at Qin Ling and slightly pondered.


    The manager cautiously nced at him, then nodded and stopped persuading him. “Then, you have to prepare to be made use of.”


    He also needed to prepare for future PR content.


    At this time, Qin Ling took off his headphones and stood up. “My sister is here!”
