In the end, Elder Li only took the chief steward along.

As they left, one of the managers asked Eldest Master Tang, “Eldest Master, would Old Master be unhappy...”

“No, we can wait for Second Bro to return.” Eldest Master Tang wasn’t as capable as Lu Zhixin, but he wasn’t a shallow man either. He knew what was important and what wasn’t. “The most important thing now is the smart service system in the Yunguang Consortium.”

Although Lu Zhixin was the most outstanding person in the Tang family, he had no rivalry with Eldest Master Tang at all. Lu Zhixin had always been working in the Yunguang Consortium and never had anything against the Tang family.

As for the self-proclaimed relatives of the Qin family, he had gotten someone to investigate their background in Beijing.

The four most powerful families in Beijing weren’t even big shots in Continent M, not to mention the Qin family who barely had a name.

Tang Jun had always been concerned about his sister’s descendants because he had been on good terms with her. But Eldest Master Tang had no relation to them, so he couldn’t even be bothered to act like he cared.

A few of the members nodded. “Will Second Young Master bring us good news this time?”

The bulk of the Yunguang Consortium’s business was in Asia. Although they had the four most powerful families of Beijing with them, the Tang family surely wasn’t afraid of the Yunguang Consortium...

But...

The power structure in Continent M was rather complicated. Lu Zhixin had been in the Yunguang Consortium for many years and had helped the Tang family iron out conflicts. The Tang family slowly learned that the Yunguang Consortium was actually rather powerful in Continent M. But they were not exactly sure where the power was from.

This was part of the reason why the Tang family members were afraid of Lu Zhixin.

“I don’t know. My brother mentioned during the New Year that he isn’t in charge of the smart service system.” Eldest Master Tang narrowed his eyes. “This time... it might not be confirmed too.”

One of the members found it strange. “Second Young Master has been back a lot this year...”

He hardly ever returned in the past.

Tang Jun got into the car.

His expression was the same. He simply glanced at Elder Li and asked, “Zhixin is back today?”

“I confirmed that with the Second Young Master over the phone.” Elder Li turned to Tang Jun. “President, would you like to wait for Second Young Master to return so you can speak to him?”

Lu Zhixin had always had a mind of his own. He was rather solitary in the Tang family. Ever since he wrote a program at nine years old, he never had to ask the Tang family for a single cent.

Tang Jun had planned to groom him to be a hacker. But he and Lu Zhixin weren’t quite on the same side.

He had no choice but to give it up.

Even so, Lu Zhixin was still a rather important figure to Tang Jun and the Tang family.

Tang Jun shook his head. “I’ll make it when I’m back.”

With that, he closed his eyes.

Elder Li didn’t continue as he drove them to the restaurant.

Qin Xiuchen and Qin Hanqiu didn’t have to wait long in the private room.

The moment Tang Jun arrived, he casually mentioned that Lu Zhixin was going to be back today.

“So my second cousin is returning.” Qin Hanqiu was not really interested in the other Qin family members, but he turned to explain to Qin Ran, anyway. “He’s an outstanding programmer.”

“Oh.” Qin Ran casually nodded and continued chatting with her neighbor on her cell phone.

Neighbor—

[You’re in Continent M?]

[Your brother said so.]

Qin Ran turned to look at Qin Ling who was talking to Tang Jun.

She replied “Mm.”

Then added: [Attending a Physics event.]

The neighbor had mixed feelings about her reply and took a while to get back to her.

A while later, he asked—

[When are you leaving?]

Qin Ran: [Tomorrow.]

Neighbor: [I’m returning tomorrow too. Wait for me at the landing area, get him to help me get my ticket changed.]

This wasn’t a big problem. Qin Ran hadn’t planned to leave with her teammates from school, anyway. Both Cheng Juan and Cheng Mu knew Lu Zhixin, but Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin did not.

Qin Ran: [See you at the airport.]

Qin Ran guessed that Lu Zhixin probably had something to say to her and so agreed.

Elder Li and a senior member of the Tang family were standing behind Tang Jun. Elder Li was a little uncomfortable with Qin Ran’s attitude. She seemed to share some traits with Lu Zhixin.

Meanwhile, it was the Tang family senior member who furrowed his brows.

“You’re returning tomorrow? Not staying for a few more days?” Tang Jun was hoping for Qin Hanqiu to stay for one day more at least.

“Xiao Ling has to attend school in two days.” Qin Hanqiu glanced at Qin Ling.

“Alright, then.” Tang Jun felt that it was a pity, but couldn’t say more. “Your second cousin is returning tomorrow too. I’ve been thinking that you guys could meet each other at the airport since there won’t be other opportunities.”

Only after the meal did Tang Jun get up to speak to Qin Xiuchen. “We really hope that Hanqiu and the rest can return home to acknowledge their ancestors. My parents loved my youngest sister the most. They would be so comforted up in Heaven if they saw the three of them.”

Qin Hanqiu did not say anything. He looked to Qin Xiuchen and waited for his decision.

Qin Xiuchen looked towards Tang Jun. He hadn’t expected Tang Jun to bring up his late ancestors.

He actually didn’t wish for Qin Hanqiu to have too much to do with the Tang family. It was obvious what sort of person Qin Hanqiu was, while the Tang family obviously wasn’t just an ordinary household in Continent M.

But Qin Xiuchen hadn’t expected Tang Jun to suggest this...

“Mr. Qin, don’t worry, it’s just for Hanqiu and the children to acknowledge their ancestors,” Tang Jun added when he saw that Qin Xiuchen was deliberating.

Since Tang Jun had already put it this way, it was hard for Qin Xiuchen to decline.

“We can talk about this in detail the next time.” There was a trace of delight on Tang Jun’s face.

The senior member behind Tang Jun frowned as he looked at Qin Xiuchen and the rest. historical

This Qin family... was really thinking too highly of themselves...

Tang Jun, Qin Xiuchen, and Qin Hanqiu took the lead while Qin Ling, Qin Ran, and the manager trailed behind them.

The manager was talking to Qin Ran about some things regarding the Continent M’s Association.

“Young Master Xiao Ling.” The senior member slowed down and bowed slightly to Qin Ling as a form of apology. “Regarding Eldest Lady the last time, I hope you don’t take it to heart. Eldest Lady...”

He was extremely polite as he went on with a smile. “She joined the Hacker Alliance two years back, so she’s a bit of a loner and has her attitude.”
