Before Mr. Cheng withdrew his gaze, he let out an "ah".
Cheng Juan approached, looked at the painting, and said calmly: "It's an authentic work. Dad, if you like it, just put it in your private collection." After that, he calmly raised his hand to check the time on his phone, "We are in a hurry, so we will go back first."
Mr. Cheng seemed to have not reacted yet, he just said "Oh".
Cheng Juan glanced at him, then left with Qin Ran.
Cheng Mu also politely greeted Old Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru, but neither of them paid any attention to him.
Cheng Juan and his group left.
After about two minutes, Mr. Cheng was the first to react.
Then he looked at Cheng Wenru hesitantly, "Your brother said it was an authentic work, but I remember this painting...was it recorded at the auction? It seems to have been included in the History Museum of Continent M?"
The steward also reacted and took out a special tool from a bag on the side to look at the painting. "It's not just like that. According to the records of the treasure, the painting has indeed been in the History Museum of Continent M for many years."
He checked for a long while, took out his cell phone to take pictures, and confirmed with several people.
...
...
He took a deep breath and said, “This is indeed the authentic one.”
After saying.
More than just managing things.
Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru also paused.
"Wen Ru," After a long while, Old Master Cheng brought a cup of tea. Looking closely, his hands seemed to be trembling slightly, "Do you know who Ran Ran's friend is?"
Cheng Wenru sat aside expressionlessly for a long while before saying, "I want to know, too."
She thought of the large pearl.
"Why do I think the Third Young Master..." The steward suddenly remembered something and looked at Old Master Cheng, "He seems to be very knowledgeable about these things. Can he see it at a glance?"
"He studied the restoration of ancient artifacts for a period of time," Cheng Wenru smiled. "When he was thirteen years old, an ancient pottery horse of my father was broken. He took a book and a bunch of tools to learn for a while and restored the ancient pottery horse..."
Cheng Wenru couldn't help but pause when he said this.
At the age of thirteen, Cheng Juan learned antique restoration for his father's ancient pottery horse...
But after he turned fourteen, he seemed to be a little different. After Old Master Cheng, there were two incomplete ancient relics, but he seemed not to have noticed them. He became more and more extravagant and never stayed in the capital for long. Not to mention the capital, he rarely even came back to the Cheng family. He would do the same thing and then throw it away...
If Qin Ran hadn't come to Beijing, Cheng Wenru wasn't sure if he would have stayed in Beijing for so long.
"Can I take a look at the ancient pottery horse?" The steward looked at Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "Of course."

This way.
Qin Ran sat on the bench in the corridor with her cloak on, waiting for Cheng Juan to get the key.
Cheng Juan didn't drive here today, so Cheng Mu had to stay at Cheng's house for a while. However, since there were too many cars around Cheng Juan, he had to go back to his yard to get the new key.
Qin Ran sat sideways, crossed her legs carelessly, lowered her head and slowly sent a message to the giant crocodile.
She asked him why he sent such a rare mechanism box and why he didn't tell her in advance. She was very strong and didn't know how to control the weight. She broke the almost lost mechanism lock...
Giant Crocodile: [……]
Giant Crocodile: [Sense of ritual. 】
Giant Crocodile: [Brother, it’s okay. I didn’t tell you specifically because I was afraid that you would be impatient. If you don’t like it, I will change the box next time. 】
Qin Ran stared at the three words "sense of ceremony" for a long time.
Then close the chat page.
He opened the game and played it aggressively, a game that Qin Ling had never passed, using more brutal tactics than last time.
"Sister Ran, you're in a bad mood today." Cheng Juan came over with the car keys, stood behind her, and looked at her for a while.
Qin Ran looked casual, but her hands were ruthless as she played the game, and she didn't say a word.
Cheng Juan sat next to her, his slender fingers around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder, his other arm hooked around her waist from the side, and whispered softly: "Go on, I'll watch you play."
Qin Ran poked at her phone and slowly sent the screen recording to Qin Ling.

The next day.
Monday.
At noon, Qin Ran met with Nan Huiyao and others to discuss the competition.
She connected the computer to the lab’s printer, printed out two copies of the documents on the file tray, bound them together and stuffed them into her black backpack. Qin Ran looked at the last document in the folder, thought about it, and clicked on it to print again.
She did not put this one into her backpack. She went to the rest room to change clothes, holding the backpack in one hand and the document in the other.
Qin Ran always travels by foot.
Senior Brother Ye came to the rest room to get a cup. When he saw Qin Ran, he smiled and said, "Junior Sister."
Qin Ran took off her protective suit, put on her coat slowly, and greeted Senior Brother Ye.
Senior Brother Ye walked out the door holding the cup. Just as he took a step out of the door, a clear female voice sounded from behind, "Senior Brother Ye, wait a moment."
“What’s wrong?” Senior Brother Ye paused, turned around, and looked at Qin Ran with a smile.
Qin Ran put on her coat and handed the last printed document on the table to Senior Brother Ye. She said casually, "This is a piece of spacecraft information I compiled last week at noon. Take a look. It may be helpful for your research."
"You..." Senior Brother Ye stood at the door in a daze, looking at the document.
Come to think of it, she took this matter to heart after Academician Liao told her about it in the morning.
Academician Liao said that she was helpful to their research, which must be true...
Senior Brother Ye also knew that Qin Ran went to the library every noon.
He had never expected that Qin Ran had sorted out the information at noon that day.
“It’s nothing too important.” Qin Ran buttoned up her clothes and picked up the black backpack with one hand. She looked at Senior Brother Ye with a lazy smile on her face. “The time was short and I didn’t have time to pack too much. Don’t worry too much. I’m glad it can help you.”
Qin Ran had not been in the laboratory for long, but she still remembered how Senior Brother Ye had helped her out many times.
After that, she took her backpack and left. After taking two steps, she said calmly, "Don't worry, I already have a teacher."
Behind him, Senior Brother Ye stood there for a long while before he opened the document.
He thought Qin Ran had sorted it out casually, but he didn't expect that when he opened it... everything inside was very targeted.
Academician Liao said that she could bring help to their team. Senior Brother Ye was skeptical at first, but when he saw the plan, he finally understood what Academician Liao meant.
Qin Ran's automation skills were already at the highest level, and this city-level competition was about aerospace propulsion. It was not particularly challenging for her, especially because her brain was naturally sensitive to this aspect and she was very hands-on. Although she only had one morning and one afternoon, she had already drawn up a plan.
Senior Brother Ye stood at the door for a long time. Having been here for so many years, he has witnessed many open and secret struggles.
He had always seen things clearly, but when he saw this plan, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
"Senior Brother Ye?" Senior Brother Ye stood at the door of the lounge for too long. When Zuo Qiurong came over to change clothes and go out for dinner, he was still standing there.
Senior Brother Ye put away the document in his hand, turned around, and without showing the document to Zuo Qiurong, he moved to the side to make way for her without answering.
During the two days off, when Senior Brother Ye and Zuo Qiurong were researching a project as a team, there was some estrangement between them.
Seeing Senior Brother Ye’s expression, Zuo Qiurong finally couldn’t help herself. She glanced behind Senior Brother Ye, but didn’t see Academician Liao. She lowered her voice and sneered, “Senior Brother Ye, what I told you last time, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Academician Liao clearly has high hopes for Qin Ran and wants to pave the way for her. He even… wants to take her in as his apprentice. Are we going to help him?”
Zuo Qiurong couldn't help getting anxious when she thought that Qin Ran would be participating and her name would be on the list.
"You've only been in the lab for a few days, and you want to be on equal footing with us? Who in the lab didn't work their way up step by step?" Zuo Qiurong pursed his lips, "You..."
There was no change in the expression on Senior Brother Ye's face. He brushed Zuo Qiurong's hand away and held the plan in his hand even tighter.
He just opened the door and left.
He did not tell Zuo Qiurong that Qin Ran had a teacher, nor did he show her the plan.
Zuo Qiurong...
Maybe you don’t know what you’ve missed.

In the cafeteria.
Nan Huiyao and the other two had arrived long ago and had ordered food.
“Ranran, you came at the right time. I studied a bunch of automation books…” Nan Huiyao patted her schoolbag.
Qin Ran sat on the iron chair. She glanced at the document, then put her backpack on the table, unzipped it and took out two printed documents.
“Take a look at this first.” Qin Ran handed the document to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng opened it and saw that it was a planning project for "Industrial Machinery". He smiled and said, "It just so happens that I read a lot of books on this subject on Sunday."
Qin Ran leaned back in her chair, put the straw into the Coke, propped her chin up with her hand, took a sip, and then said, “The industrial machine is a backup plan I prepared for you, because I’m not sure if you will want to continue studying my project after listening to what I said…”
Nan Huiyao and Xing Kai immediately stopped smiling and looked serious.
Chu Heng pursed his lips and said seriously: "You say."
“Because it may involve radiation.” Qin Ran pursed her lips.
"That's all?" Nan Huiyao and Xing Kai breathed a sigh of relief. "I was scared to death. I thought you were going to kill someone or do something arson. This is nothing."
The three of them waved their hands, and Nan Huiyao looked at Qin Ran with anticipation: "So what kind of radiation-related project are we going to study?"
The attitudes of these three people were beyond Qin Ran’s expectations: “…”
Qin Ran glanced at Nan Huiyao and silently pushed another document over.
