Chapter 560: Old Master Yang: Godpa Will Celebrate With You

Cheng Wenru wanted to help her, but she really did not have much time or energy to spare.

The Cheng family was facing a huge problem right now…

Especially…

Cheng Wenru turned to look at Qin Ran and felt that the Xu family was going to be in it too.

After Elder Xu passed on, Qin Ran was caught in a spot as well.

“It’s all fine.” Cheng Juan was busy discussing something with Cheng Shui upstairs, so Qin Ran made Cheng Wenru some tea. “Sister Cheng, you don’t have to worry about me. Have you guys been doing alright?”

She looked at Cheng Wenru. Cheng Shui and the rest had never hidden things from her or avoided her when discussing problems. She could also tell that the Cheng family was in some sort of trouble recently.

Cheng Wenru smiled very faintly. “How much trouble could I be in? It’s you, on the other hand, who’s facing something huge. If you can’t deal with the pressure at the Research Institute, then just back down. It’s not a good place to be in. Without Elder Xu around, I’m really worried about you.”

Qin Ran naturally had a rebellious aura around her.

And her beautiful eyes were filled with determination and ferocity that Cheng Wenru had never seen before.

Even her pretty face wasn’t so approachable.

Too much had been happening recently, and even Cheng Wenru herself had been under pressure. She couldn’t even begin to think about the impact of both Old Masters’ passing on Qin Ran. She had to deal with the Research Institute and help the Xu family out.

Qin Ran was usually rather quiet. At this point, she simply nodded towards Cheng Wenru.

She trusted that Cheng Juan could handle the Cheng family’s issues well.

“I’ll be taking over in the next couple of days. Don’t worry, Sister Cheng.” Qin Ran’s eyes got clearer and brighter as she said that.

Since Principal Xu wanted her to take over the Research Institute and to make her grandfather proud, she would surely do it.

The two of them exchanged a few more words.

Not too long later, Cheng Juan came downstairs.

Qin Ran’s cell phone happened to ring at this point.

She looked down and saw that it was a number from Continent M, but it wasn’t in her contacts.

Qin Ran nodded towards Cheng Wenru first before going upstairs to take the call.

Cheng Wenru had something to discuss with Cheng Juan and so did not notice Qin Ran’s expression.

It was Cheng Mu who noticed Qin Ran’s demeanor. He seemed a little surprised as he said, “Miss Qin is avoiding us to take a call. The person on the other end is probably not an ordinary person,” he said to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin was still thinking about what he had just discussed with Cheng Juan and did not pay much attention to what Cheng Mu was saying.

Upstairs, Qin Ran only picked up the call after she’d closed the door.

Her expression was a little cold, but she sounded polite as she greeted, “Godpa.”

“Ran Ran.” Old Master Yang said with a smile, “I heard you’re going to take over the Research Institute in Beijing?”

“Yes.” Qin Ran stood by the window and drew the curtains.

Old Master Yang smiled. “This is important. Aren’t you going to invite Godpa over? Which day will it be? Godpa will come over to celebrate it with you.”

“You want to come over?” Qin Ran was taken aback.

He had been overseas all this while and hadn’t returned in over a decade, since he’d handed over the Yunguang Consortium matters to Yang Shuyan.

“I’m not welcome?” Old Master Yang raised a brow.

“That’s not it.” Qin Ran sighed.

She just felt that there was too much going on.

Why were all of them coming over to Beijing one by one?

“When will you be here? I’ll receive you at the airport.”

“No need for that, your brother will help me with it. He’s been here for way longer than me and knows this place well enough. Oh, right. Yang Fei wants to come back with me too.” Old Master Yang chuckled.

“Isn’t he in a competition?” There was usually a competition in Spring around this time.

But she had been so busy recently, she couldn’t be sure of the actual schedule.

“He has his last match today. After that, he’ll skip the celebration party and return with me right away,” Old Master Yang said calmly.

Qin Ran rubbed her temple.

She spoke to Old Master Yang for a while more before hanging up.

Too many people were getting into the picture.

She thought for a bit before sending a message to Butler Xu—

[I have a few more people for the handover ceremony.]

The Xu family was having their emergency meeting when Butler Xu received the message from Qin Ran.

“Fang Zhenbo is already making his move. Is it appropriate to be handing the Research Institute to Miss Qin at this time…” One of the Xu family members shook his head. “We’re going to get Miss Qin into trouble.”

“Grandpa isn’t around anymore, but the Xu family is.” Xu Yaoguang’s eyes were colder than before. “Everyone, remember this. Even without Grandpa around, Qin Ran is still the successor of the Research Institute. She’s the successor we’ll support.”

“Of course, the Xu family supports Miss Qin. But without the Old Master around, I’m afraid something might go wrong at the ceremony,” a senior member said in concern.

With that, the meeting room went quiet.

With Elder Xu’s passing, the people in the Research Institute might think that there was no more leadership or order in the Xu family. They were starting to cause problems, and disorder was about to break out. At this point, they had to introduce the new successor.

All the pressure was on Qin Ran.

Qin Ran initially had the Cheng family as a backing too, but they were having their own problems now. Without Elder Xu, the only power she could depend on was the Qin family that had recently shown some potential. But, to have them counter Fang Zhenbo…

They simply weren’t enough.

The meeting ended with everyone in low spirits.

Only then did Butler Xu show Xu Yaoguang Qin Ran’s message. “I’ll prepare what’s needed for the few people on Miss Qin’s end.”

“Alright. I’ll have to trouble you to host them well,” Xu Yaoguang said before returning to the study.

Butler Xu took his leave with a heavy heart.
