They all lived in the same small alley in the capital. How could Butler Cheng not know Mr. Xu, a giant on the same level as his own grandfather?
He was surprised because he didn't expect to see Old Xu in Yuncheng.
Could it be that Yuncheng has more talented people and beautiful scenery?
Butler Cheng pondered secretly.
Principal Xu nodded to Butler Cheng and took off his coat. "Excuse me."
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to come," Butler Cheng hung Mr. Xu's coat aside, and then replied respectfully, "I'll go upstairs and ask the young master to come down first."
Then he went upstairs to call Cheng Juan down before making tea.
After Butler Cheng poured out two cups of tea, he discovered that Cheng Mu had also returned, holding a pot of flowers respectfully in his hand.
Cheng Juan glanced at the flower, picked up the tea on the table, and held it in his hand without drinking it.
"Show me the WeChat message her deskmate sent me." Cheng Juan said.
...
...
Cheng Mu opened WeChat, clicked on the profile picture with the note "Classmate Lin", and then showed the message to Cheng Juan.
The message was very long, Lin Siran must have forwarded it somewhere.
Cheng Juan half lowered his head and read slowly, flipping all the way down. When he reached the end, he reached out and returned the phone to Cheng Mu, "It seems quite complicated."
Cheng Mu kept a straight face, but couldn't help nodding in his heart. That's right, it takes so much effort to grow a pot of flowers.
But he wasn't done yet...
Cheng Juan seemed to smile, then looked up at him and said nonchalantly, "Put this pot of flowers in Miss Qin's room. You will take care of it from now on. If you have any questions, discuss them directly with classmate Lin."
Cheng Mu: "..."
After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and added, "You should first find a gardener to learn from for two days."
Cheng Mu: "?!" He raised his head and looked at Cheng Juan in disbelief. Are you really going to such great lengths for this pot of flowers?
Do you want him to learn to be a gardener?
He went to a special training camp for three years and his final position turned out to be a gardener?
Cheng Juan and Cheng Mu were talking, while Principal Xu sat on the other side drinking tea, leisurely but a little absent-minded.
Butler Cheng was watching anxiously from the side.
How could the young master and Cheng Mu ignore the guests and chat about a pot of flowers?
Especially since Cheng Mu really came to him with a pot of flowers, he said with a wooden face, "Butler Cheng, do you know where there is a better gardener?"
"Ah," Butler Cheng took out a small notebook from his jacket pocket and flipped through two pages. "There is a gardener who is in charge of the garden of our villa. He is from the capital. Please write down his number."
Neither of them disturbed Cheng Juan and Xu Lao who were sitting on the sofa, and they stood at the door and talked in a low voice.
After Cheng Mu wrote down the number of this awesome gardener, Butler Cheng continued to look in the direction of Cheng Juan.
I found that their young master picked up the computer again and placed it on his lap very casually. He seemed to be processing some documents or chatting with someone...
In short, I had no intention of chatting with Mr. Xu.
Butler Cheng said worriedly, "Isn't the young master too cold?"
As he was speaking, Cheng Juan suddenly tilted his head and said a few words to Principal Xu. His voice was so soft that Butler Cheng couldn't hear clearly.
I only saw Principal Xu suddenly put down his teacup, his expression seemed a little fluctuating, and he walked straight upstairs.
Cheng Juan was still leaning on the sofa, his hand reaching out to poke at the keyboard slowly.
Butler Cheng glanced at Principal Xu's back and asked Cheng Mu, "What is Mr. Xu doing?"
"Ah," Cheng Mu answered very quickly and calmly at this moment. He glanced at Butler Cheng and said, "Mr. Xu didn't do anything. He just went to look for Miss Qin."
Butler Cheng was indeed stunned, "Why did Mr. Xu look for Miss Qin?"
Could it be that these two people know each other?
Considering Mr. Xu's status... this shouldn't happen...
Butler Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thought carefully, and remembered the last time Captain Qian and his group came to look for Qin Ran.
Cheng Mu's face froze. He couldn't answer this question. Then he quickly reacted and lowered his head, pretending to call the gardener, leaving Butler Cheng with an unfathomable back.
Principal Xu disappeared at the stairs. Butler Cheng suppressed his doubts and walked to Cheng Juan to ask him about Qin Ran's leave.
He pulled his notebook from his pocket.
The above are several famous college entrance examination tutors that he had just contacted.
Upstairs, study.
Qin Ran was wearing home clothes and leaning lazily on a chair.
The curtains in the study were drawn, and she was looking at the snow outside, motionless, with her brows drooping, her eyes clear and light.
It is almost impossible to see her former sharpness. Instead, one can only see a sense of silence, as if she only needs an opportunity to explode.
There was another chair next to her, which was also padded with a blanket.
"Have you thought about it?" Principal Xu sat on the empty chair next to her. He didn't look at her, but at the white snow outside. His voice was desolate.
“No.” Qin Ran spoke in a low voice.
"Because of the Pan Mingxuan incident?" Principal Xu pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
Qin Ran paused while holding the blanket.
Principal Xu's gaze also seemed a little distant.
He went to Ninghai Town, initially for Pan Mingxuan, a genius whose math scores far surpassed those of his peers, but who wanted to take the exam to become an inspector.
That kind of job is dangerous, and most of the people you come into contact with are people in life and death situations. Principal Xu feels sorry for such a talented person, so he wants to go and persuade him in person.
However, I didn't expect that after I went to Ninghai Town, I found out that Pan Mingxuan died that summer.
He followed Feng Loucheng for a long time, investigating the truth of the matter, and even used his connections in the capital.
Pan Mingxuan didn't even have a funeral. His grave is where Chen Shulan is now, and next to him are his parents, whose names are not on the tombstones.
Principal Xu knew at a glance what kind of people did not dare to erect a monument.
He only has one sister left.
Then, he helped the younger sister deal with the rest of the matters, and Pan Mingxuan had also mentioned to him the very capable little sister next door, Qin Ran.
“Not really.” Qin Ran shook her head and stopped thinking about it. “Principal Xu, let’s talk about other things.”
There was another long silence.
Principal Xu glanced at Qin Ran, then reached out to adjust his glasses and suddenly said, "At the beginning, you told me that you didn't want to go to Beijing and declined my invitation, but you agreed to Master Wei. What do you say?"
When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Qin Ran, his tone quite resentful.
Qin Ran: “…”
“I heard from Cheng Mu that your grandmother knows Dean Fang?” Principal Xu was not in a hurry for Qin Ran’s answer and continued to speak slowly.
Qin Ran frowned.
"Dean Fang is in charge of the dean of the first research institute in Beijing, a third-party force with countless talents under his command. No one with some reputation in Beijing would choose to go against him," Principal Xu said here and paused, "Unfortunately, that research institute is managed by someone from our Xu family."
Principal Xu still had a smile on his face and his tone was friendly.
Qin Ran raised her eyelids, thinking about this matter slowly in her heart.
She was not clear about the division of power in the capital and had not investigated it carefully, especially the complicated power structures of the old families. Unless she asked Chang Ning to transfer the files to her, she would not be able to sort out much useful information even if she hacked into the entire database of the capital.
“I’ll give you an answer when I go to Beijing next year.” Qin Ran narrowed her eyes and felt a little relieved, but she didn’t agree immediately.
She hadn't investigated the Xu family's affairs, but she knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Agreeing to Principal Xu means that he may have to participate in the power struggle within the Xu family.
In the past, when Principal Xu asked Qin Ran, she would reject it three times.
Even if he said he was considering it, there was a careless arrogance hidden in his eyes.
This was the first time that Principal Xu saw that Qin Ran had softened and was really considering her problem seriously. He was overjoyed.
"When will we leave Yuncheng?" He got the answer he wanted. He was no longer in a hurry and followed Qin Ran's example by leaning slowly.
Qin Ran lowered her eyebrows and looked at the snow outside. "After some time."
"Okay, then I won't see you off." Principal Xu nodded, "I'll wait for you to return to Yuncheng."
"good."
After saying what needed to be said, Principal Xu walked downstairs with his hands behind his back and a somewhat ostentatious look on his face.
Butler Cheng also finished talking to Cheng Juan. When he saw Principal Xu coming down, he seemed to be in a good mood. "Mr. Xu, don't you want to stay for dinner?"
As a servant, Butler Cheng did not inquire about the affairs of the guest and the master. Even if he really had doubts about Qin Ran, he only dared to doubt in his heart and did not dare to ask.
"No," Principal Xu took his coat from the rack and put it on while replying, "I have something to deal with when I get home."
Cheng Mu also contacted the professional gardener. Seeing that Principal Xu was about to leave, he put his phone back and took the car keys to see Principal Xu off.
When most people in the hall had left, Cheng Juan squinted his eyes slightly and yawned sleepily.
Just as I was about to turn off the computer, I saw an avatar jumping in the lower right corner.
Seeing the profile picture, he clicked on it casually.
It’s news from the old man—
On the other side of the computer, Lao Xiao, who was wearing a white coat, looked at the dialog box cautiously, almost holding his breath.
Cheng Juan tilted his head and squinted at these words.
I had no intention of returning.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, he chuckled softly, then stretched out a finger and typed a word slowly and replied -
"Bang--"
The old man on the other side of the computer seemed to be struck by something, as if struck by lightning, and sat back in his chair.
"Doctor, are you okay?" This year's new students of the medical organization looked at the old man worriedly.
The old man was stunned for two seconds before slowly shaking his head.
What else do new students want to ask?
The old man looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Don't ask me anything. I'm afraid you'll cry."
A few days later.
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Yuncheng Airport.
Not many people knew that Qin Ran was leaving.
The only people who came to see him off were Wei Zihang and Pan Mingyue.
"Sister Ran," Pan Mingyue wore glasses on her nose, her eyes were hidden behind the lenses, her face was pale, "see you next year."
Qin Ran pulled down the hood of her sweatshirt and hugged Pan Mingyue. "Take good care of yourself."
Then he let go of her hand, patted her shoulder, and looked at Lu Zhaoying, "Please keep an eye on her at school for me."
Cheng Juan left, but Lu Zhaoying still insisted on sticking to her job in the school clinic.
He waved his hands weakly, "I will definitely treat her as my own biological sister, okay?"
Lu Zhaoying glanced at Pan Mingyue. He had always loved Pan Mingyue and her family. It was not easy for Qin Xiaoran to have a good friend, so of course he would help maintain their friendship.
Cheng Juan was holding a scarf in his hand, standing not far behind Qin Ran, his clear and handsome eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing Qin Ran still mumbling to Pan Mingyue, he cleared his throat and said, "It's time to go."
Twelve hours later.
Continent.
Cheng Shui gathered a group of his men and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The boss will be here in an hour. Before that, I will choose someone to follow the boss and his men."
Zhou's men were all built by Cheng Shui alone.
Cheng Juan is a lazy person. He rarely comes out unless there is a big event.
Listen to Cheng Shui's words.
Nearly twenty people's eyes lit up and they all took a step forward. Their intention to recommend themselves was obvious. They were all responsible for the diamond business of various churches. Of course, they also had many shady businesses under their control. They were all people who were in front of Interpol Matthew.
Being able to follow the boss and receive some pointers on a daily basis would benefit them a lot, so naturally they all rushed to come.
Cheng Shui nodded in satisfaction. He stretched out his hand and chose the first person on the left. "Master Du, it's you."
This is a subordinate he trained. He has great fighting skills and can definitely stand up to Cheng Juan.
Master Du was delighted. He followed him and asked, "Mr. Cheng, what do I need to do with the boss?"
"No need," Cheng Shui took out his phone to check the time, "Just follow Miss Qin and play with her."
Hall Master Du was stunned. "Miss Qin?"
"Yes, the boss brought her here to play." Cheng Shui nodded and motioned for him to follow.
Hall Master Du paused, then clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Cheng, I remember that there will be a challenge in the Law Enforcement Hall next month. I need to practice well and don't have time to play with Miss Qin."
