South Lane Zhai.
Qin Ran came early today.
Because Cheng Juan was afraid that Cheng Mu would drive too fast, he reserved some extra time.
At eleven o'clock, Qin Ran arrived at the private room reserved by the Mu family.
The private room is very much in the style of Shanghai's old days. It is very large and has the overall shape of a locomotive. The lighting is not particularly bright and the overall atmosphere is very quiet.
There were four waiters inside. When Qin Ran and Cheng Mu arrived, the waiters started serving tea.
Cheng Mu took the tea set from the waiter and waved for him to leave. "We don't need you here anymore."
The food here is expensive, and the waiters probably seldom see people coming here to make their own tea, but seeing that Cheng Mu is quite familiar with the business, they didn't say anything.
He went out respectfully.
Qin Ran sat on a stool by the window, put the gift that Cheng Juan gave to Mu Nan on the table, and took out her phone to check WeChat.
...
...
Cheng Juan gave Mu Nan a gift, and Qin Ran also prepared one.
She clicked on Chang Ning's profile picture and sent a message -
[Have you found any news?] 】
Chang Ning didn't reply and just made a voice call.
“Boss Chang.” Qin Ran found the headphones and put them on slowly.
"This force has not appeared for several years." Chang Ning was a little relaxed. He was not in the office, but just sat in the manor bought by Kenneth. Kenneth's housekeeper even served him a cup of tea. "They have declined and are at a low point. You also know that the major international arms dealers in recent years are the Giant Crocodile Family and Cheng Jin."
Chang Ning took a sip of tea and thanked Kenneth's housekeeper before continuing, "In recent years, several times, they have appeared in the underground auction house of Continent M. The transactions were all defensive agencies. You are familiar with two of the transactions I found."
"I know about the M Continent apron building and Gu Xichi's base." Qin Ran put one hand on the table and raised her eyes slightly.
Chang Ning smiled, "That's right. Although the force you investigated is not a heavy weapon force, it is also a machine infrared force. It has fallen to the point where there are only a few people left. The only news we know is that there will be a relic at the underground auction in Beijing next month. You can ask Cheng Jin about this."
The underground auction house in Beijing belongs to Cheng Jin.
After listening to this, Qin Ran tapped the table thoughtfully, "I understand."
"Kenneth has also gone to the Magic City." Chang Ning put down the teacup and reminded.
Qin Ran nodded, feeling a little headache. Cheng Juan had said all this.
After they hung up the call, Qin Ran was about to switch out to watch the game when she saw a few new messages on WeChat.
She took a look and saw a message from Editor Liu.
[Genie Lamp, when is your next episode expected to be released? It should be in time for it to come out on the 10th of next month, no later than the 10th. 】
Editor Shen has always been in charge of the comic manuscript.
Qin Ran looked at Editor Liu's reply and couldn't help but frown. Last night, she felt that it was a bit strange that Editor Shen asked her to add Editor Liu.
**
The wind chimes outside the box rang. It was the sound of the visitors. It should be Mu Nan and the others who had arrived. Qin Ran hurriedly replied to Editor Liu, "Too late" and closed the chat page.
She put her phone on the table and looked up.
Cheng Mu opened the door at the right time.
Outside, Mu Nan, Old Man Mu and Butler Mu came in.
The first person Mr. Mu saw was Cheng Mu.
Cheng Mu's face was cold and hard, and at first glance, he looked quite ferocious.
Although he did not fight underground boxing, his strength should not be underestimated, and the aura of a martial artist was obvious.
After seeing Cheng Mu, Mr. Mu was a little shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a person around cousin Mu Nan.
When Mu Nan first came back and knew that Mu Nan had other relatives, Grandpa Mu did not pay much attention to his relatives.
Mu Nan’s previous living conditions were exposed.
Although noble sons can be born from poor families, this example is extremely rare. Grandpa Mu knew that Mu Nan must have inherited his father's IQ.
When Mr. Mu first got Mu Nan's information, he was very fond of him.
After Mu Nan came to Shanghai, after close observation, Mr. Mu discovered that Mu Nan was even better than what he had seen from the information.
He's just cold and aloof.
So when Mr. Mu knew that Mu Nan had a very special feeling towards that cousin, he wanted to meet Mu Nan's cousin.
Before coming, Mr. Mu had already asked Butler Mu about Qin Ran's news, and Butler Mu said that Qin Ran was a bit unusual.
As for what kind of unusual it was, Butler Mu couldn't explain it clearly.
Seeing Cheng Mu at this time, and then seeing Qin Ran after entering the door, Mr. Mu began to understand why Butler Mu said that Mu Nan's cousin was not ordinary.
Qin Ran's temperament is indeed not like that of an ordinary person.
“Mr. Mu.” Seeing the old man, Qin Ran also stood up and greeted him in a very polite voice and manner.
When Mu Nan saw Qin Ran, the expression on his face softened. "Why are you here so early?"
He originally thought that Qin Ran would come as usual.
"It's just on the way." Qin Ran said casually.
After greeting Mr. Mu, Qin Ran casually threw the small gift box to Mu Nan.
The gift box packaging is a bit random.
"What?" Mu Nan took it, a little surprised.
Cheng Mu stood beside Qin Ran and answered for her: "This is a gift from Master Jun for your college entrance examination."
"Brother-in-law?" Mu Nan was stunned.
Beside him, Mr. Mu, who had just sat down, hadn’t figured out Qin Ran’s situation yet when he heard Cheng Mu’s words. Mr. Mu was also a little surprised. He paused for a moment before looking at Cheng Mu: “Gift for the college entrance examination?”
"Yes," This is Mu Nan's grandfather. Cheng Mu does not feel any pressure in front of him, unlike Chang Ning and the others, who are restrained. "Master Mu Nan is the top scorer in the national college entrance examination."
"The top scorer in the national exam?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Mu paused. He looked at Mu Nan, "Didn't you say that you... you didn't do well in the exam?"
Of course Mr. Mu knew that Mu Nan would take the college entrance examination this year.
He also knew that Mu Nan had always been an excellent student.
On the 23rd, he specifically asked about Mu Nan's grades, but Mu Nan's expression was very cold at the time. He frowned and said that he did not do well in the exam.
He was so serious that Mr. Mu believed him and didn't dare to think about the exam these two days.
Right now...this means I didn’t do well in the exam? !
"I definitely didn't do well in the exam." Mu Nan's expression remained cold, but his tone was very serious.
Butler Mu's mouth twitched, and he said, "May I ask you a question, Master Mu Nan, how many points did you get in the exam?"
If you randomly pick any student taking the college entrance examination this year, you will naturally know that there is a pervert who scored 739 points, but Butler Mu and Old Man Mu will naturally not pay attention to how much the top scorer in the college entrance examination scored recently.
"739." Mu Nan frowned.
Although the college entrance examination questions this year were difficult, he sent the questions to Song Luting after he finished the exam.
Song Luting had told him that except for the Chinese language test, which would deduct one or two points, Qin Ran could get full marks in other subjects.
Mu Nan had an idea in his mind when he took the exam that he could only get around 740 points. He was somewhat shocked when he heard what Song Luting said.
Although Song Luting told him not to compare himself with an exam machine like Qin Ran.
But Mu Nan thought that he had not learned it well enough.
While studying, Qin Ran also took care of other things. Basically, he only studied in his life, and did some translation. However, these translations were all selected by Song Luting and were very helpful to his English.
Mu Nan was telling the truth, but Butler Mu beside him had a blank expression on his face after hearing it. He glanced at Mu Nan.
This glance can be translated like this:
I really believed your lies!
Mr. Mu was somewhat shocked during this meal.
“Come on, check out what Master Juan gave you!” Cheng Mu was already used to the coquettish behavior of the people around Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, so he was not surprised by Mu Nan’s answer. He was just curious about what was in Mu Nan’s box.
Cheng Juan is now Mu Nan's brother-in-law, and Cheng Mu feels that the gift he gives to Mu Nan will definitely not be simple.
After listening to Cheng Mu's words, Mu Nan glanced at Qin Ran and thought about the red envelope that Cheng Juan gave him when she got married. He didn't want to open the gift box in front of the Mu family.
“Let’s take a look.” Qin Ran crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin towards Mu Nan, and spoke casually.
Qin Ran didn't look at the gift that Cheng Juan gave to Mu Nan. She estimated that it was heavy and should be diamonds or something like that. She was not interested.
Mu Nan lowered his head and slowly opened the gift.
Cheng Mu came over to take a look out of curiosity.
The box was a bit light. When I opened it, I saw a layer of cushion inside and a black remote control key-like thing on top.
“Pah—”
Mu Nan took a look and closed the lid directly.
Beside him, Butler Mu said with some disbelief: "This is..."
