Qin Ran: “…”
She really just asked casually.
Lu Zhaoying, who was walking in front, was still thinking about Wen Yin. When he heard this, he first glanced at the time on his phone, then turned sideways and said, "Qin Xiaoran, it's almost twelve o'clock now. It's time for dinner. Why don't we go eat together?"
His expression was relaxed, no different from usual.
Cheng Juan followed Qin Ran with his hands in his pockets. He raised his eyebrows at Lu Zhaoying and gave him a look of approval for the first time.
Lu Zhaoying was moved to tears of gratitude. This was the first time that Master Juan looked at him in a way that didn't seem like he was looking at a fool.
Qin Ran glanced at Lu Zhaoying, pressed down the brim of her hat with her hand, and cleared her throat: "I'm a little sleepy."
Cheng Juan smiled and said, "Then go back to sleep first."

Beijing's financial center.
...
...
"Miss," a secretary wearing black-rimmed glasses came into the office in high heels and handed a stack of documents to the woman sitting in the office chair, "Here are today's arrangements."
The woman was wearing a black suit, with her eyebrows lowered, and she looked smart and capable. In front of her was a computer, and on the computer page was a pair of complicated red and green K-lines.
She took the documents from the secretary and raised her head, her delicate features slightly domineering: "What are your plans for the afternoon?"
It's hard to guess her real age, but judging from her demeanor, she's probably around thirty years old.
The eldest daughter of the Cheng family, Cheng Wenru, is 35 years old and unmarried.
"At one o'clock in the afternoon, there is a contract with Mr. Li, and at 2:30 the company will have a small regular meeting..." The secretary pushed his glasses and spoke quickly.
"What did my brother say?" Cheng Wenru raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was eleven forty.
The secretary shook his head.
Cheng Wenru raised his eyebrows and smiled, showing that he understood.
She picked up the pen in the pen holder and signed the documents on the table. Then she leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms over her chest, and spoke for a long while, "Please help me pay attention to the gifts that little girls like recently."
Secretary Li's professional ability is top-notch in the secretarial industry, as he was noticed by a strong woman. He is also the person that Mr. Cheng specially arranged to be by Cheng Wenru's side.
He put this matter on his schedule before continuing, "I have arranged an auction for you in three days."
Cheng Wenru pressed his temple with his hand, looking a little tired, "Is there Wangyou this time?"
Mr. Cheng was in poor health and only by wearing Forget-Me-Not felt better. As for Forget-Me-Not... no one knew the origin of this plant.
Most of them are hard to come by, and every time I go to an auction, it is a bloody battle.
"Yes, but there is only one bottle for this auction."
"One bottle?" Cheng Wenru tapped the table with his fingers. This was troublesome.
Cheng Wenru goes to the auction house once a month. Only ten bottles of Wangyou are sold every month. There are so many people in Beijing, and there are many laboratories studying Wangyou. In every auction, four of the ten bottles are always for a fixed few people, and Cheng Wenru is one of them.
Other forces will fight for the remaining six bottles.
But there is only one bottle left this month...
Everyone needs this bottle of Forget-Me-Not, and there will definitely be fight for it.
"Why is there only one bottle left?"
Secretary Li shook his head and just guessed: "Maybe something happened? The research institute said that this kind of grass is extremely difficult to cultivate."
At the moment, it seems that this guess is more accurate.
"Wangyou's source hasn't been found out yet?" Cheng Wenru knew that only by finding out its traffickers could they have a stable source.
But there was no information from the auction house. In order to avoid disputes, the auction house itself deliberately concealed the names of the buyers and sellers, so Cheng Wenru couldn't find out anything.
Secretary Li nodded, "Some time ago, the old man approached Miss Ouyang to ask about this matter."
As everyone knows, this is the first time that 129 has absorbed ordinary members from big families in Beijing. 129 rarely absorbs fresh blood, and half of its recruits are just ordinary members. It is extremely difficult to become a senior member, but even ordinary members can learn a lot from 129 and enjoy the information sharing rights of 129's internal members.
As we all know, 129's intelligence network is almost all over the world.
There is no family or force in the capital that does not want to form an alliance with 129.
Although Ouyang Wei is just an ordinary member, as an insider, she has many more privileges than ordinary people.
When she successfully infiltrated 129, the Ouyang family's status in the capital soared.
Cheng Wenru nodded, "Please make an appointment for me with Ouyang Wei, I will talk to her."
"I've already made an appointment, but it's harder to make an appointment with Miss Ouyang." Ouyang Wei is very popular in the capital, and she knows how to control people's hearts. Not everyone can be made an appointment at will. "I heard... the eldest young master is also making an appointment with Ouyang Wei."
"Him?" Cheng Wenru nodded and said nothing more.
She waved her hand to let the secretary go down, and sent another message to Cheng Juan, asking when he could eat.

at the same time.
Tinglan Apartment Area.
Qin Ran went upstairs. She didn't practice the piano. She was going to perfect the arrangement today.
Because of the college entrance examination, Yan Xi did not contact her for two months.
Although Yan Xi didn't quite believe it when she said she was going to take the college entrance examination.
Now that she has joined the Violin Association, she will start studying there tomorrow. Qin Ran doesn’t have much time, so today she plans to finish arranging the two songs for Yan Xi.
She started working on these arrangements after taking the college entrance examination, but her hands were not convenient at that time, so she only had a rough idea in her mind. She improved it some before the college entrance examination results were announced.
Basically, most of it has been done, and the rest should be done before tomorrow.
downstairs.
Cheng Mu first went to look at the two potted plants by the window, then took a kettle, watered them a little bit, and then put the kettle down.
I took out my phone and checked my Moments.
Lin Siran just posted a dynamic above——
[Mimi had eaten almost all the grass, so his dad punished him by not allowing him to eat meat for three days. 】Then there is a photoshopped picture showing gloating.
Cheng Mu knew that Lin Siran was the only blogger Qin Ran followed on Weibo.
Last time, Lin Siran also posted a Weibo about Mimi being punished to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes.
At the moment, Cheng Mu still couldn't help but sigh, why was the Lin family so harsh on a cat?
Isn't it just some grass?
He sent a WeChat message to Lin Siran——
[It's a cat after all, so you can't expect too much from it. 】
The other party replied with a string of “…”
Cheng Jin came up the stairs of Cheng Mu's house and saw Cheng Mu mumbling. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What are you mumbling about? Where's Master Juan?"
Cheng Mu repeated the harshness of the Lin family to Cheng Jin before answering Cheng Jin's question: "Master Juan is in the study upstairs."
"There is a black box downstairs. Put your things in order." Cheng Jin didn't care about whether there was a cat or grass. After getting the answer, he went straight upstairs to find Cheng Juan.
Cheng Mu thought about the black box.
The black box contained a variety of things.
Cheng Mu went downstairs to bring up the black box, and then sorted it out one by one. Most of the things inside were graduation gifts that the people from Class 9 asked him to bring to Qin Ran before they left.
There were a lot of things, and Cheng Mu soon saw a glass bottle rolled in the corner of the box. It was the graduation gift that Lin Siran gave to Qin Ran.
Because of Gu Xichi's "stone" incident, Cheng Mu carefully observed the small bottle and confirmed that there was no number on it, not even a bottle cap.
He couldn't help but want to ask why this girl couldn't get along with grass?

The next day, Qin Ran went to the violin association for class.
She got up at six and set off at half past six. Cheng Juan had just returned from his morning run downstairs and drove her to the Violin Association.
"Master Wei has already set the date for the apprenticeship banquet." Master Wei discussed it directly with Cheng Juan, and the lunar calendar time was calculated last night.
Qin Ran was chatting with Lin Siran. She said "hmm" casually. She rested her hand on the car window and supported her chin. "As long as you don't exaggerate, I can accept it."
Forty minutes later, we arrived at the Violin Society.
Qin Ran got out of the car, put on her cap, put one hand in her pocket, and waved the other hand behind her without looking back.
Behind him, Cheng Juan leaned against the car and watched for a while before opening the door and getting in.
Because there are new students today, the Violin Association has set up reminder signs for the new students, pointing to the practice building, which has five floors in total.
At the main entrance, a teacher was standing at the door waiting for all the students. Qin Ran arrived ten minutes early, and Tian Xiaoxiao hurried over after her. After the teacher and the others were all present, he spoke, "I'm a teacher on the first floor. My last name is Xu. Everyone who can join the Violin Association has a certain talent, but the Violin Association is not short of talented students. I'm sure you've heard of the rules of the Violin Association. The Violin Association has special repertoires and graded assessment standards. From the first floor to the fifth floor, there are practice rooms from level three to level nine. Each floor has its own instructor and training videos. We will announce the corresponding levels of all students according to the assessment levels of yesterday's performance. Everyone, please go to Room 101 first."
Qin Ran heard this and looked down at the manual in her hand.
Three level first floor.
Second floor, level 4 or 5.
The third floor, level six or seven.
Level 8, fourth floor.
Level nine, fifth floor.
