Chapter 324: It’s 100% Lone Wolf! Yunguang Consortium

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Hanqiu went beyond Uncle Qiu’s expectations these days and no longer hemmed and hawed while answering his questions.

Without staying long, Uncle Qiu took his USB flash drive and left.

A black car was waiting for him downstairs. He got into it with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned the car key, his expression a little strange.

“What’s the problem?” Uncle Qiu was in a good mood today, and his expression was extremely relaxed.

Driving out onto the main road, the middle-aged man glanced at the rearview mirror. “Butler Qin, have you seen the gifts placed in the Second Master’s house?”

“No, I haven’t.” Uncle Qiu held the USB flash drive and shook his head.

“The packaging is exquisite, and it’s a big brand that has yet to be released to the world. It has only been specially prepared for the internal members.” The middle-aged man sounded surprised at this.

Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling’s previous living environment wasn’t considered good, and they couldn’t afford such things. Furthermore… Qin Hanqiu didn’t look like he had friends of this level.

It was extremely puzzling.

Putting away the USB flash drive, Butler Qin didn’t read too much into it and just stared out the window thoughtfully. “I was thinking about who the ‘Xiao Cheng’ that the Second Master talked about is. I’ve never seen him despite being in Beijing for so long…”

It was in the morning, and when they reached the Qin family’s headquarters, it wasn’t past eight yet.

The Qin family nowadays had fallen short of their past glory, and their headquarters building wasn’t so prosperous anymore.

Very few people came and went.

Butler Qin stared at it downstairs for a while before entering.

“Butler Qin.”

“…”

Along the way, many people stopped and greeted him.

Butler Qin walked all the way to the meeting room, where three men in their forties were already inside. They looked a little depressed and smelled of alcohol. When they saw Butler Qin entering, they immediately stood up.

These were the few programmers who received the Old Master’s favoritism and had neither left after the Qin family’s downfall nor been roped in by the Qin family’s Fourth Master and the Ouyang family.

“Where are the Fourth Master and the others?” Butler Qin greeted them and glanced around, but didn’t see anyone else.

All three of them stood up and shook their heads.

Butler Qin glanced at the time on his wrist.w.a.tch and frowned. At 8:10 am, the time for the morning meeting had already pa.s.sed.

After waiting for a few minutes, a woman with meticulously-styled hair and high heels pushed the door open. She entered with a doc.u.ment in her hands, full of vigor. “Butler Qin, the Fourth Master went to join the Yunguang Consortium’s bid at 9:30 am today. He has just set off and didn’t have the chance to inform you. He sends his apologies for making you wait.”

“You…” The middle-aged man behind Butler Qin looked angry.

But the smile on Butler Qin’s face remained unchanged, and he turned slightly sideways. “Ah Wen.”

The middle-aged man swallowed his words.

“Secretary Yin, I wonder when the Fourth Master will come back?” Butler Qin’s voice was undulated, without any obvious emotional changes.

Secretary Yin thoughtfully glanced at him. “Around 11 o’clock.”

Butler Qin slightly nodded, still smiling, as if he wasn’t angry. “Okay, then we’ll wait here for him to come back.”

At the same time, in Ting Lan.

Qin Ran didn’t go to school today since she had a total of five days off. At this time, Cheng Wenru was waiting for her downstairs.

She wanted to take her to see Beijing’s scenery.

She had rejected her invitation during the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she came today after receiving her approval.

Cheng Juan took the car key, wanting to drive them out. However, Cheng Jin came upstairs and said, “Master Juan, Cheng Tu has news.”

Standing on the spot, Cheng Juan rested his hands on the table and stared at Cheng Jin. His eyelids drooped, and he seemed completely convinced. “How timely.”

Folding her arms, Cheng Wenru lifted her chin towards him and smiled happily. “Third Bro. Looks like we can only ask Secretary Li to drive us there.”

Cheng Juan threw the keys to Cheng Wenru accurately, and she caught it in the palm of her hands.

Unaware of what had just happened, Cheng Jin waited for Cheng Juan to go upstairs. Once Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru had left, he turned to look at the little gardener. “What happened?”

Cheng Mu glanced at him sympathetically. “Master Juan wanted to bring Miss Qin out.”

Cheng Jin: “…”

Looking down at the file in his hands, he scolded Cheng Tu in his heart before heading upstairs.

“Is there a problem at the border?” In the study, Cheng Juan turned around, sitting on the chair with a black brush spinning between his fingers. He glanced at Cheng Jin, his gaze distant.

Cheng Tu went up with the file. “Giant Crocodile has a very powerful hacker, and Cheng Huo can’t deal with the person. He even went to find Miss Qin, but he ultimately still couldn’t find out the details. The good news is that the hacker on Giant Crocodile’s side didn’t retaliate, so the business that they ‘discussed’ turned out to be successful.”

Their “discussion” certainly wasn’t the normal kind.

At the mention of a hacker, Cheng Juan stopped spinning the pen and looked up. “No retaliation?”

Cheng Jin glanced at his expression. After following him for so long, he was naturally capable of guessing his thoughts. “You have an inkling?”

“What’s the possibility of Giant Crocodile having Lone Wolf on his side?” Cheng Juan casually threw the pen onto the table.

Cheng Jin was taken aback. “Him?”

Cheng Juan picked up the file and flipped through it at will, his tone indifferent but convinced. “100%.”

Other than someone from 129, Cheng Huo couldn’t think of anyone else with the ability to suppress Cheng Huo and Qin Ran like that.

“129 rarely intervenes in other forces’ affairs.” Cheng Jin frowned worriedly. “Did something happen at Cheng Tu’s side?”

Lone Wolf only came out of reclusion in the last year, but he still took very little orders, not exceeding eight orders until now…

“If it’s true, then Cheng Tu can’t match up.” Cheng Juan looked up.

Cheng Jin was really taken aback at this moment. He always knew that 129 was unfathomable, but he was unaware of the extent of their power since he had no business with them.

He didn’t care about Ouyang Wei boasting wildly in Beijing, either.

But after receiving Cheng Juan’s conviction about 129’s strength, he developed a deeper fear towards them. “No wonder the few families suddenly showed kindness to the Ouyang family…”

Downstairs, Secretary Li returned from the company.

“We’re going to the bidding site first at the Yunguang Consortium.” Cheng Wenru and Qin Ran sat in the back seat. She placed her hands on her lap and sat with her back straight. “But I’m just going there to watch the show. This time, it’s not our turn. After that, we’ll go to the ancient city one kilometer away from the Yunguang Consortium, where Third Bro, Lu Zhaoying, and the others used to play when they were young…”

Resting her hand on the window, Qin Ran didn’t sit in such an exemplary posture as Cheng Wenru. She brushed away the hair that had fallen over her eyebrows and said, “Not necessarily.”

“Huh?” Cheng Wenru responded to her words and guessed she was implying that their visit to the Yunguang Consortium wasn’t just to go through mere formalities. “The Yunguang Consortium’s affairs are a little complicated. Many interests are involved inside, which you might not be clear about. Forget it, let’s not talk about this. I’ll tell you about my Third Bro…”

Qin Ran touched her nose and remained silent.

Cheng Wenru only stopped talking when they reached the bidding site.

Straightening her expression, she stepped out of the car on her high heels, her chin slightly raised, and her eyebrows sharp. She became a complete strong woman again.

Casually following behind her, Qin Ran held her phone in one hand and put on her cap with the other.

Cheng Wenru stopped and waited for her to catch up. They then continued walking slowly into the Yunguang Consortium.

As she was well-known in Beijing, people greeted her every two steps along the way.

But she only nodded coldly to them.

Names were pasted on the bidding field’s seats. Cheng Wenru sat in the first row, while Qin Ran sat on Secretary Li’s seat.

“Do you see him, he’s the Fourth Master of the Qin family.” Cheng Wenru sat down in an exemplary posture, with her legs closed. She placed a hand at her mouth and whispered to Qin Ran, “The Qin family was originally the Head of the Fourth Research Inst.i.tute. You’ll know what that is next time. Although the Qin family has already fallen, the Fourth Master has already allied with the Ouyang family. Both of them are in the IT industry. Since they’re here, I’m only an escort.”

Qin Ran was originally nonchalant, but at the mention of the Qin family, she turned to look at the Fourth Master.

The Qin family’s Fourth Master was also sitting in the first row, five seats away from Cheng Wenru. He was about 40 to 50 fifty years old, and aside from the wrinkles on his face, his mental state didn’t seem old as he sat there in his silver-gray suit.

When he saw Cheng Wenru, he hurriedly came over to greet her. “Miss.”

Even if the Qin Family hadn’t declined and was still in its heyday, it was still incomparable to the Cheng family, the head of the four big families. Thus, he would still have to bow to Cheng Wenru.

Because of Qin Ran, Cheng Wenru also had good feelings toward people surnamed Qin. She nodded slightly to the Fourth Master, her att.i.tude much better than before.

The Fourth Master returned to his seat, feeling strange.

“I guess she already knows that you’ll soon become one of the developers of the Yunguang Consortium’s new technology,” the shareholder sitting next to him whispered.
