After Cheng Juan finished speaking, he turned sideways and said vaguely: "Maybe it can't be considered a disciple-apprentice banquet, but a takeover ceremony."
Master Wei's was a banquet for apprenticeship, to learn skills from a master, but Principal Xu's was not really a banquet for apprenticeship.
"What takeover ceremony?" Old Master Cheng frowned, a little worried.
Qin Ran had been busy for almost the past six months, and there were some red bloodshot eyes that looked a bit aggressive.
So the first thing he asked Qin Ran when she came back was if she could take a rest.
Cheng Wenru also looked up, "Is it troublesome?"
Qin Ran had basically not rested in the past six months. Although she was known as a strong woman by the outside world, no one had ever seen anyone who worked harder than Qin Ran.
Qin Ran had just taken off her coat when she heard what Cheng Wenru and Old Man Cheng said. Her eyelashes drooped. "It's just a takeover ceremony. Shouldn't it be okay? It shouldn't be too troublesome. It shouldn't take too much time. We still have to be busy with the follow-up experiments. It may be around March 1st or 2nd."
The specific time would depend on Principal Xu's arrangement. Qin Ran never cared about such matters, and Principal Xu would not let her care about them.
Old Master Cheng nodded. He looked at Qin Ran and said, "Don't be too tired."
...
...
Qin Ran hummed. She was about to say something when her cell phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was from the Beijing University laboratory. She picked up the phone while walking up the stairs.
The person who called was Senior Brother Ye. He had just arrived at the laboratory. The school term at Peking University was about to start, and since it was the New Year in the physics community, the third underground floor of the physics laboratory was packed with people.
"Junior sister," Senior Brother Ye took two steps outside, and his excitement over the past two days began to recover. "Come over here, there are quite a few professors and academicians looking for you."
Qin Ran pressed her eyebrows and opened the door. "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, she opened WeChat, clicked on Principal Xu's profile picture, and casually sent a message -
[The ceremony can be casual, don't make it too complicated.] 】
When Principal Xu heard Qin Ran's words, he was in the meeting room of the Xu family. He was waiting for Qin Ran to return to China, and then he called together all the leaders of the Xu family.
“I’m here today to announce something to you all.” Principal Xu didn’t respond to Qin Ran’s “whatever”. He just supported the table with both hands and said calmly, “I’ve already chosen the successor to the domestic research institute. We’ll hold a successor ceremony on March 1st.”
Could this sentence be a bombshell to the Xu family?
The Xu family headquarters and the research institute are almost at the same level.
Principal Xu is the only person in the Xu family who has taken over both the Xu family and the research institute.
He is old. The Xu family started speculating about Principal Xu's successor a year ago, but there has been no news. So they have to conduct an investigation on the successor, right?
It needs to be voted by the person in charge of the Xu family, right?
You have to reach at least 80% to pass, right?
After all, this involves the interests of most people in the Xu family, how could it be decided so hastily?
Start investigating the successor right away?
"Mr. Xu," the old man sitting in the first seat on the left stood up, looked straight at Principal Xu, and asked respectfully, "Is this heir Young Master Yaoguang?"
Apart from him, no one else could think of anyone else who could jump directly to the position of heir without going through a vote.
After hearing the old man's words, the expressions of the other leaders of the Xu family also relaxed.
If it was Xu Yaoguang, then it would be about the same.
Xu Yaoguang is a very outstanding young man of this generation of the Xu family. He is learning to manage the Xu family. Most importantly, he is a member of the Xu family.
"No, she's not a member of the Xu family either." Principal Xu let go of her hand, stood up straight, and glanced at everyone present. "I'll let the housekeeper take care of things."
Everyone's faces changed drastically when they heard Principal Xu's words, "Mr. Xu!"
Principal Xu only came to inform them today, not to ask for their opinions. As the head of the Xu family and the highest-level manager of the research institute, he has the final say in the Xu family and no one can shake him.
After saying that, he left immediately.
Butler Xu followed behind Principal Xu and said, "Mr. Xu, I will start arranging to notify the heads of the families."
"Well, go post it and use my name." Old Xu nodded slightly.
The two of them were calm, but the people behind them were not.
The others at the conference table looked at each other in shock: "Not a member of the Xu family? What is Mr. Xu doing?"
No one at the conference table agreed with this decision. A middle-aged man slammed the table and said, "No! How can we hand over the research institute to others? Will the research institute still belong to our Xu family in a few years?"
The research institute has been monopolized by the Xu family for decades, which laid the foundation for the Xu family. Having tasted the sweetness from the research institute, how could they be willing to give it to others?
However, once Principal Xu has made a decision, it is difficult for others to change it.
After all, Principal Xu holds great power.
"The Xu family can't even meet his requirements? How can he still be interested in Shui? He still wants to find an heir from another family?" The others at the table frowned, and someone took out his cell phone, "Does Young Master Xu know? I'll call him."
He took out his cell phone and called Xu Yaoguang.
Everyone else looked in that person's direction with serious expressions.
The call was connected quickly.
The caller quickly explained the situation, "Young Master Xu, please persuade the old man. How can such a thing be treated lightly? Especially since you also know what happened in the institute and were recently nominated by Continent M, how can the successor be so casual?"
Not to mention whether that outsider can manage the institute well, the most important thing is whether he can be of one mind with the institute?
Xu Yaoguang paused for a moment before speaking calmly, "I understand. No one can change the decision made by Grandpa."
casual? Would Mr. Xu be so casual?
He traveled thousands of miles to Yuncheng for this heir.
I have been there for more than three years before I finally found such an heir. How could he be so casual?
Xu Yaoguang looked outside with deep eyes. He said nothing else and just hung up the phone.
After hearing this, everyone in the Xu family meeting room looked at each other, and their faces all showed the same expression -
These two things are going to cause a big stir in the capital.
It's not just because Mr. Xu wants to take an heir, but more importantly, his heir is not a member of the Xu family...
Is the capital's pattern going to be broken because of this?
Is the heir chosen by Mr. Xu suitable for the Xu family? Is it useful? Can you control the Xu family? Can you bring convenience to the Xu family like Mr. Xu?
In addition to this, the Xu family's management is also curious about...
Who is the successor that Mr. Xu chose?
**
Not only the Xu family was puzzled by this matter, but even Cheng Wenru and the others were puzzled.
Cheng Juan held a cup of tea in his hand, sat slowly on the sofa, and drank with his eyes lowered.
Qin Ran walked down from upstairs slowly, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand.
Cheng Juan finished his tea, raised his eyebrows, and said with a clear and elegant look: "Going to school?"
“Well,” Qin Ran replied lazily. She didn’t want to go, but it was not appropriate to leave the research to Senior Brother Ye and the others alone. “Maybe I have to come back in the evening.”
Cheng Juan nodded, he stood up, and Cheng Mu handed the car keys to Cheng Juan.
The two of them said hello to Mr. Cheng and Cheng Wenru and left.
After their backs disappeared at the door, Cheng Wenru sat down opposite the old man and asked Cheng Mu who was about to move the flowers: "Cheng Mu, stop."
Cheng Mu immediately stopped by the window and looked at Cheng Wenru: "Miss?"
Cheng Wenru glanced at him and raised an eyebrow: "Do you know what the takeover ceremony is?"
“Takeover ceremony?” Cheng Mu had parked the car downstairs before and did not hear what Cheng Juan and Qin Ran said, so he was a little confused.
Cheng Wenru explained briefly: "Ranran said it was quite simple."
But after so many times, Cheng Wenru had a new understanding of Qin Ran's simplicity, and always felt that it was not simple.
Although Cheng Mu couldn't ask questions now, his expression couldn't deceive Cheng Wenru.
You can usually see something.
But this time Cheng Wenru miscalculated, because Cheng Mu didn't know either.
But Mr. Cheng seemed to be thinking about something...
Last time, Cheng Juan asked him if his heart was healthy. He thought it was because Qin Ran got full marks in the laboratory, but later he confirmed that it was not the case.
Right now it seems...
Could it be Qin Ran’s takeover ceremony?
As he was thinking, the phone in his pocket rang. Old Master Cheng took it out and said, "Xu family? Why are you calling me at this time?"
He raised an eyebrow.
Just pick it up.
The Xu family said a few words.
The conversation lasted only about a minute. Mr. Cheng straightened his back and narrowed his eyes.
Beside him, Cheng Wenru was holding a cup: "What's the matter?"
