Today, Qin Hanqiu surprised Uncle Qin by not hesitating or unable to answer the questions he asked as he did in the past.

Uncle Qin didn't stay here for long and left with the USB drive.

The black car was still waiting downstairs, and Uncle Qin and the middle-aged man sat in it.

The middle-aged man turned the car key with a strange look on his face.

"What's the problem?" Uncle Qin was happy today and looked particularly relaxed.

The middle-aged man drove the car onto the main road, and when he heard the sound, he looked in the direction of the rearview mirror and said, "Butler Qin, have you seen the gifts left at the second master's house?"

"Not really." Uncle Qin held the USB drive and shook his head.

"The packaging is exquisite. It's a big brand that is not open to the public. It's specially prepared for internal members." The middle-aged man was quite surprised when he mentioned this.

Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling’s previous living environment was not good, and they could not afford things of this level. Besides... Qin Hanqiu did not look like someone who would have such a friend.

It's really puzzling.

...

...

Butler Qin put the USB drive away without thinking too much. He looked out the window and pondered for a while. "I was wondering who the 'Xiao Cheng' that the Second Master mentioned is. I haven't seen him in such a long time since I came to the capital..."

It is morning now, and it is not yet eight o'clock when the car arrives at the Qin family headquarters.

The Qin family today is no longer what it used to be, and the headquarters building is no longer as prosperous as before.

There are very few people coming and going.

Butler Qin looked at the bottom of the building for a while before going in.

"Butler Qin."

“…”

As they walked in, many people stopped to greet Butler Qin.

Butler Qin walked all the way to the conference room. There were only three men in their forties in the conference room. They looked a little depressed and could smell a little bit of alcohol. When they saw Butler Qin, the three men stood up immediately.

These are the programmers who, after the Qin family split, had received favors from the old man but had not been won over by Fourth Master Qin and the Ouyang family.

"Where are the Fourth Master and the others?" Butler Qin greeted them and looked around, not seeing anyone else.

The three men stood up and shook their heads.

Butler Qin looked down at the time on his watch. It was eight ten, already past the morning meeting time. He frowned.

After waiting for a few more minutes, a woman wearing high heels and with her hair neatly tied up pushed the door open. She was holding a document in her hand and was very imposing. "Butler Qin, the Fourth Master has to attend the Yunguang Consortium's bidding at 9:30 today. He has already left and didn't have time to tell you. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"You..." The middle-aged man behind Butler Qin looked angry.

Butler Qin's face remained smiling. He turned slightly and said, "Awen."

The middle-aged man held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Secretary Yin, I wonder when the Fourth Master will be back?" Butler Qin's voice remained the same as always, with no obvious change in emotion.

Secretary Yin glanced at Butler Qin thoughtfully and said, "Around eleven o'clock."

Butler Qin nodded slightly, still smiling, as if he had no temper: "Okay, then we'll wait here for the Fourth Master to come back."

**

At the same time, Ting Lan.

Qin Ran did not go to school today. She had a total of five days off. At this time, Cheng Wenru was waiting for her downstairs.

Cheng Wenru wanted to take her to visit the scenery of the capital.

Qin Ran had rejected Cheng Wenru’s invitation on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so when Cheng Wenru approached her today, she didn’t refuse.

Cheng Juan took the car keys and wanted to drive the two people out, but Cheng Jin came up from downstairs and said, "Master Juan, there is new news from Cheng Tu."

Cheng Juan just stood there, with his hands on the table, looking at Cheng Jin for a while, his eyelids drooping, and he was completely convinced: "It's just in time."

Cheng Wenru crossed her arms, raised her chin towards Cheng Juan, and smiled happily: "Third brother, it seems that we can only let Secretary Li take us there."

Cheng Juan threw the key to Cheng Wenru. He threw it accurately and Cheng Wenru caught it in her palm as soon as she raised her hand.

Cheng Jin didn’t know what happened. After Cheng Juan went upstairs and Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru went out, he looked at the gardener and asked, “What’s going on?”

Cheng Mu looked at him with great sympathy: "Master Juan was just about to send Miss Qin out."

Cheng Jin: "..."

He looked down at the documents in his hand, cursed Cheng Tu in his heart before going upstairs.

"Is there a problem at the border?" In the study, Cheng Juan turned his chair around, twirling a black brush in his hand, facing Cheng Jin, his eyebrows and eyes sparse.

Cheng Jin handed the document to the ground. "There is a very powerful hacker at the Giant Crocodile. Cheng Huo couldn't deal with him, so he looked for Miss Qin, but in the end, he couldn't find out the details. The good news is that the hacker at the Giant Crocodile didn't make any more moves, and the business that Cheng Tu 'negotiated' with him was successful."

This "talk" is definitely not an ordinary "talk".

Hearing about the hacker, Cheng Juan stopped spinning the pen in his hand and looked up: "No more attacks?"

Cheng Jin looked at Cheng Juan's expression. He had followed Cheng Juan through the world for so long, so he could naturally guess a little bit of Cheng Juan's thoughts: "Do you have any idea?"

"What do you think is the possibility that the giant crocodile is a lone wolf?" Cheng Juan threw the pen on the table.

Cheng Jin was stunned: "Him?"

Cheng Juan picked up the document and flipped through it casually, his tone indifferent but firm: "One hundred percent."

Apart from the people from 129, Cheng Juan couldn't think of anyone else who could suppress Cheng Huo and Qin Ran with all his strength.

"129 rarely interferes in other forces' affairs," Cheng Jin frowned worriedly, "Will Cheng Tu have any problems?"

The lone wolf has only been out for the past year, but he still has few orders. He has only received less than eight orders so far...

"If it comes to real, Cheng Tu is no match." Cheng Juan looked up.

Cheng Jin was really stunned at this moment. He always knew that 129 was unfathomable, but his business had nothing to do with 129, so he was not very clear about the details of this force.

He didn't care about Ouyang Wei who was bragging all over the capital.

Hearing Cheng Juan's affirmation of 129's strength, Cheng Jin became even more afraid of 129, "No wonder several families suddenly showed goodwill to the Ouyang family..."

**

Downstairs, Secretary Li, who had already returned to the company, drove the car back.

"We have to go to a bidding first, the Yunguang Group." Cheng Wenru sat in the back seat with Qin Ran. She put her hands on her legs and straightened her back. "But I'm just going through the motions. It's not our turn this time. After that, we'll go to the ancient city one kilometer away from the Yunguang Group, where my third brother Lu Zhaoying and his friends used to play when they were young..."

Qin Ran leaned her hand on the car window. Her sitting posture was not as standard as Cheng Wenru's. With her other hand, she brushed away the hair that had scratched her brow bone. "Not necessarily."

"Hmm?" Cheng Wenru listened to Qin Ran's words and realized that Qin Ran probably meant that she would not go to the Yunguang Financial Group for formalities. "The Yunguang Financial Group's affairs are a bit complicated, and there are many interests involved. You may not understand them clearly. Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'll tell you about my third brother..."

Qin Ran touched her nose and said nothing more.

Cheng Wenru stopped talking only when they arrived at the bidding site.

She put on a stern face, walked down in high heels, raised her chin slightly, and looked sharp, turning herself into a strong woman again.

Qin Ran followed her carelessly, holding her phone in one hand and putting her cap on her head with the other.

Cheng Wenru paused for a moment, waiting for Qin Ran to catch up, before continuing to walk into the Yunguang Consortium, slowing down his pace slightly.

She is well-known in the capital, and someone would greet her every two steps.

But most of the time Cheng Wenru just nodded coldly.

The seats in the bidding venue were labeled with names. Cheng Wenru was in the first row, and Qin Ran sat in Secretary Li's seat.

“See? That’s the Fourth Master of the Qin Family.” Cheng Wenru sat with her legs together in a very standard posture. She covered her lips with one hand and spoke to Qin Ran. “The Qin Family was originally the owner of the Fourth Research Institute. You’ll know what the research institute is in the future. Although the Qin Family has fallen, the Fourth Master of the Qin Family has formed an alliance with the Ouyang Family. Both families are engaged in IT. With them here this time, I said that I’m just a runner-up.”

Qin Ran was not very interested at first, but after listening to Cheng Wenru's talk about the Qin family, she looked towards the fourth master of the Qin family.

The fourth master of the Qin family also sat in the first row, five seats away from Cheng Wenru. He was probably in his forties or fifties, and apart from the wrinkles on his face, he did not look old in spirit. He was wearing a silver-gray suit.

As if he saw Cheng Wenru, the fourth master of the Qin family hurried over to greet her, "Miss."

Not to mention that the Qin family is now in decline, even if the Qin family was in its heyday, it could not compare to the Cheng family, the head of the four major families. When meeting Cheng Wenru, the Fourth Master of the Qin family would still be inferior.

Because of Qin Ran, Cheng Wenru had a better impression of people with the surname Qin. She nodded slightly to Fourth Master Qin, and her attitude was much better than before.

The fourth master of the Qin family felt puzzled and returned to his seat.

"I guess he knows that you, Fourth Master, will soon become one of the developers of the Yunguang Group's new technology." The shareholder sitting next to him lowered his voice.
