Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 574: On Purpose

Lu Zhixin’s words didn’t provoke Old Master Yang.

Poppy’s reputation in the IT industry wasn’t just a matter of strength. Most importantly, she unconditionally shared several core codes.

Those people respected her mostly because of her character.

Like the 28th floor manager, and the teacher Qin Xiuchen had found for Qin Ling, Ku Ke...

Many elite managers had come for Qin Ran.

The loss caused by their departure was too great for the Yunguang Consortium, especially since Lu Zhixin was among them.

“Because of her?” Old Master Yang stared at him. He paused slightly and said in disbelief, “So many people came because of her?”

He had really underestimated Qin Ran.

Having always been in a high position, Old Master Yang had only concerned himself with people like Ming Hai. He had never cared much about people like Qin Ran.

Qin Ran and Lu Zhixin were the two core figures on the 28th floor, especially Qin Ran. But she was too young, and Old Master Yang might have given her another glance ten years later.

Now, in addition to trying to force Qin Ran, Old Master Yang also wanted to tell her through this incident that she had to reduce her sharpness.

She would have to pull out her claws and respect him in all aspects.

One less Qin Ran in the company wasn’t considered a loss for him.

But who knew that after the public announcement, eight managers on the 28th floor had resigned!

Old Master Yang, who had always been a strategist, had really underestimated Qin Ran and made the wrong move today.

Indifferent, Lu Zhixin just glanced at him with a blank expression and politely bade him farewell.

He opened the door and directly left.

Old Master Yang didn’t have the time to take care of him. He turned his head and looked at the general manager behind him. “Is what Lu Zhixin said true?”

“Chairman Yang, take a look at the company’s official forum. We only have a few people in the company headquarters, but Miss Qin only posted on the forum account at the beginning of the year. We have 190,000 fans, and almost every interviewer on the 28th floor stated that they’re her fans...” The general manager quickly stood up and said apprehensively.

Old Master Yang said sharply, “Why didn’t anyone mention this to me?!”

“Chairman Yang, Mr. Lu advised you when you were trying to push her out yesterday. We didn’t dare to say more.” The general manager shook his head and paused. “Also, everyone in the IT industry knows about this. The discussion about Miss Qin on the website has also brought us popularity...”

He trailed off and turned silent. Without Qin Ran and Lu Zhixin, the Asia IT giant...

Might be replaced.

... historical

At the Qin Corporation.

Qin Hanqiu was sitting in the office and had just hung up the call with Qin Xiuchen. After nearly five months, Qin Xiuchen’s filming was finally coming to an end.

They hung up.

He remained on the chair and was about to call Qin Ran.

But his phone rang instead.

Butler Qin knocked on the door and came in.

Raising his hand to make a silent gesture to him, Qin Hanqiu smiled and said to the phone, “Ran Ran, I heard that you went back to Yun Cheng to pick up your aunt. When will you come back?”

His voice was no different and brought a simple smile.

On the other end, Qin Ran was in the Mu family’s living room. She leaned back on the table and looked at Ning Wei’s direction in the kitchen. Tilting her head up, she said in a slightly lowered voice, “I’m still persuading her.”

Ning Wei refused to go to Beijing.

Yesterday, Cheng Juan had told Qin Hanqiu not to disclose the Yunguang Consortium’s news to her. Qin Hanqiu was hence a little worried about her situation now.

Upon hearing this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Try persuading her, and don’t argue with her.” Qin Hanqiu knew Qin Ran’s temper well.

“Okay. You called in time. I sent the last code of the case to Uncle Lu just now.” Qin Ran picked up the teacup. “Tell Ah Hai to discuss it with him.”

Although she and Lu Zhixin were relatives, she still preferred to call him Uncle Lu.

Qin Hanqiu paused. “Haven’t you been busy with the Research Institute recently...”

“I wrote it on the plane. Okay, bye.” Qin Ran hung up.

She threw the phone on the table and then glanced at the kitchen.

Taking a step back, she hooked her finger towards Cheng Mu. “Cheng Mu, come here.”

Cheng Mu was watching Mu Nan translate English on the other side.

He lowered his head and dared not look at Qin Ran.

But when she called him, he walked over slowly and said, “Miss Qin...”

“Yeah.” Qin Ran nodded casually. “Tell me what you’re hiding from me.”

Qin Ran hadn’t been suspicious at first.

But...

Qin Hanqiu’s reaction had been too enthusiastic and exaggerated.

Especially when she talked about the code.

“Master Juan and Cheng Shui told me to keep quiet about it...”

Cheng Mu hung his head even lower.

Folding her arms, the corners of Qin Ran’s mouth twitched faintly, and she looked at him indifferently. “Do you obey Master Juan, or me?”

“Of course I obey you.” Cheng Mu straightened his expression. “This is what happened...”

Qin Ran didn’t go on the web very much nor did she read the news. Since she was far away in Yun Cheng, she naturally hadn’t heard of the shocking news in Beijing.

Cheng Mu had seen the news in the five brothers group. Cheng Juan and Cheng Shui had even given him special instructions...

But now that Qin Ran asked, he naturally didn’t dare to hide it from her.

In the end, he looked at her cautiously. “Miss Qin, are you okay?”

Qin Ran only lowered her head, her eyelashes drooped and covered her eyes.

After a long while, she raised her head. Without replying to Cheng Mu, she walked two steps lightly.

She picked up her phone and clicked on Lu Zhixin’s WeChat—

[How’s the company?]

Lu Zhixin responded calmly: [Your little fans have resigned.]

Qin Ran’s frown deepened.

[Pull me into your internal group.]
