“Hello, Mr. Cook.” Qin Ran greeted Cook politely.

In the hall, Ah Hai and Ah Wen also stood up and respectfully called Miss Qin.

“It’s okay…” As the two of them spoke, Cook came back to his senses, but he didn’t look away, “I’ve seen you.”

The room was heated. Qin Ran was unbuttoning her coat while thinking about the 129 list. When she heard this, she raised her head and was surprised: "You have seen me."

She has always had a photographic memory. Even if she doesn't say the name of the person she has met, she will definitely have an impression of him.

But she had no impression of Cook in front of her.

"Mr. Cook, you have been in Continent M all the time. How is it possible that you have met Miss Qin?" Butler Qin looked at Mr. Cook.

Qin Hanqiu came out of the kitchen. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Teacher Cook, are you watching TV or browsing the web? Ran Ran is more popular than a celebrity online now. You must have seen her videos or photos online."

"Celebrity?" Cook realized that it was impolite to stare at someone, so he looked away and shook his head, "I probably didn't see it on the Internet."

He had just arrived in Beijing and was not used to the domestic network operation mode. He still used the engine of Continent M and rarely read domestic news.

...

...

In addition, apart from teaching Qin Ling, he also prepares for the written test of the Yunguang Group.

Qin Ran and Qin Ling sat on the sofa on the left.

"Then where did you see it?" Butler Qin picked up the teacup and looked at Cook. Cook didn't seem to be joking.

Cook was silent for a moment. “At an exchange meeting in Continent M at the beginning of last year, I was next to Mr. Lu at that time…” He paused and looked at Qin Ran again. “Where are you working now?”

Butler Qin's eyebrows and eyes were obviously furrowed. "Miss Qin is currently teaching in the Physics Department of Peking University. She is very talented. How could you have met Miss Qin at the M Continent Exchange Conference?"

With Cook's status, the exchange meetings he attends must be gatherings of many talented engineering masters.

"Physics?" After hearing what Butler Qin said, Cook was less suspicious. "Then I must have remembered it wrong..."

"Mr. Cook, did your interview at the Yunguang Group go well?" Butler Qin changed the subject.

Cook picked up a cup of tea and seemed to be still thinking. When he heard Butler Qin ask this, he came back to his senses and replied politely: "The information has been submitted. I am still waiting for the notification of the approval of my resume. I hope it will be approved."

At this point, Cook suddenly perked up, his brown eyes lighting up.

Qin Ran held a teacup in her hand and looked at Qin Ling playing games. When she heard about the Yunguang Consortium, she raised her eyes and glanced at Cook. "Interview?"

Butler Qin introduced Mr. Cook, "Miss, you may not know that Mr. Cook is an international senior software engineer. He came to the Yunguang Consortium headquarters in Beijing specifically to join the Yunguang Consortium's IT core. His idol is someone from the Yunguang Consortium's big boss team. But Mr. Cook, you will definitely pass."

Listening to Butler Qin's words, Cook shook his head and laughed: "It's not that easy to get into the core team. I only have 30% confidence."

"So exaggerated?" Butler Qin was shocked.

Software engineers are also divided into levels, including software technicians, assistant software engineers, software engineers, and senior software engineers. Not many people can have the title of international senior software engineer.

Cook is also very famous in the IT industry of Continent M. This is one of the reasons why Butler Qin and others respect Cook so much.

"Butler Qin, everyone knows that Master Poppy is back. Countless engineers want to get into the Yunguang Group. What Mr. Cook said is not an exaggeration." Ah Hai on the other side shook his head. "Nowadays, all engines are intelligent. Almost all engines use the Master's artificial intelligence management model. The name Poppy alone can attract international senior software engineers in the IT industry to come here one after another."

"That's right," Cook sighed, "This is the first time that Yunguang Consortium has recruited people in three years. From what I know, there are at least ten international software engineers from all over the world."

"All of them are international level?" Butler Qin was shocked.

There are only a few software engineers in the world who can reach international level, right?

"That's the team of masters Poppy and Lu. Mr. Cook, you must go in," Ah Hai looked at Cook with excitement, "If you can meet Master Poppy, you must ask for my autograph!"

Qin Ran stopped listening after hearing the rest. She lowered her eyebrows and drank the tea in her hand slowly.

With his other hand, he took out his phone and sent a message to his neighbor.

[The team is recruiting?] 】

The neighbor was always busy, and three minutes later he replied:

[Someone went to study physics, and we are short of people.] 】

Qin Ran coughed and didn't dare to reply.

After the neighbor sent this sentence, he paused for a while and sent another sentence:

[It’s a good idea to use you for advertising. Many people have submitted their resumes. Do you want to screen them? 】

After saying that, he didn’t even wait for Qin Ran to reply and directly sent a compressed file.

After Qin Ran finished downloading, she did not read it in the hall. Instead, she went to Qin Ling's room, pulled out a chair in front of the computer, sat down, and looked through the resume she had submitted.

Those who were initially selected by the staff were all international senior software engineers. Qin Ran took a rough look and found 31 people...

There are ones all over the world.

Outside the hall, Butler Qin and the others were still listening to Cook talking about the IT industry. They didn’t notice Qin Ran and Qin Ling leaving them. They were completely focused on the affairs of the Yunguang Group’s boss team.

In less than an hour, it’s time for dinner.

Qin Hanqiu came out with a pot of soup. He called a group of people to the table. Awen, Ahai and others went to serve the dishes.

Seeing Qin Ran coming out, Qin Hanqiu immediately asked, "Why didn't Xiao Cheng come again?"

"He's busy." Qin Ran looked up at Qin Hanqiu and spoke without changing her expression.

Qin Hanqiu had always trusted Qin Ran. When he heard this, he did not doubt it at all. Instead, he sighed, "Being a doctor is so busy."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen and brought out a stack of dishes.

Qin Hanqiu's cooking skills received widespread praise from everyone.

After dinner, Teacher Cook took Qin Ling back to the opposite side for class.

Qin Ran did not leave immediately, but sat on the sofa waiting for He Chen to send Cheng Juan's order.

On the sofa, Butler Qin was talking to Qin Hanqiu when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that the phone number displayed on it was the Fourth Master. His pupils shrank, and a barely visible layer of hostility appeared in the depths of his cloudy eyes.

He looked at the phone for a long time and didn't answer it.

The phone hung up automatically.

Qin Hanqiu brought another bowl of dessert. “Butler Qin, are you okay?”

"It's okay." Butler Qin came back to his senses.

Qin Hanqiu couldn't tell what was going on. He nodded and went back to the kitchen to continue tidying up his dishes.

Less than a minute later, Butler Qin's cell phone rang again.

Qin Ran raised her eyes and asked, "Butler Qin?"

Butler Qin came back to his senses. He smiled at Qin Ran, then took his cell phone and went outside to answer the call.

After answering the phone, Butler Qin's brows were filled with unconcealable gloom.

"Are you okay?" Qin Ran looked down at her phone. He Chen had already sent Cheng Juan's order.

Qin Ran didn't look at it right away. Instead, she put her phone back in her pocket and looked up at Butler Qin, with a flickering look between her brows.

“It’s okay. It’s just a small problem at the company.” Butler Qin raised his head and looked at Qin Ran with a gentle smile. There was no trace of sadness on his face.

Qin Ran paused. She could tell that Butler Qin didn’t want to talk to her, so she didn’t say anything. She stood up with her hands on the sofa and said in a light tone, “Okay, I’ll go back first.”

“Leaving now?” Qin Hanqiu came out of the kitchen holding a spatula.

Qin Ran walked to the door and put on her coat. As she listened to Qin Hanqiu's words, she tilted her head and said, "Well, I have something else to do."

Qin Hanqiu knew that she was busy with a physics project, so he sent her out the door without staying any longer.

After closing the door, Qin Hanqiu continued to wash and scrub in the kitchen.

Butler Qin sat back on the sofa, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

“Butler Qin, why don’t you tell Miss Qin the truth? You’re…” Ah Wen was sitting not far from Butler Qin. He glanced at Qin Hanqiu in the kitchen and lowered his voice.

"To be honest, what should I tell her? Tell her that the Qin family is in trouble now, and that the Fourth Master knows about the young master and asked him to go back and take the assessment to become an adult. If he fails, the direct lineage will never have a chance to make a breakthrough? Tell her that we are incompetent, and not only did the Fourth Master find out about the young master, but we also put the entire direct lineage in a dilemma?" Butler Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“How dare we bring this up in front of her when the Qin family is in this state…” Butler Qin knew that his attitude was not good from the beginning. Qin Ran only recognized Qin Xiuchen until now, and he thought he didn’t have the nerve to do that. “Sixth Master specifically told me before that if there were any troubles in the Qin family, I shouldn’t bring them up in front of Miss. She should just focus on her physics research. This matter is enough for Sixth Master and I to worry about. Even if I tell her, what’s the point? It will only make one more person worry.”
