Liao Gaoang, who had turned back to pick things up, took the voltmeter from her. He frowned and spoke in a tight voice, “What are you doing?”

Qin Ran looked back.

She pinched her fingers tightly. Because of her white skin, the violent blue blood vessels were very obvious.

Outside, Zuo Qiurong also wore regular clothes and a black coat.

She came in and quickly said, “Scholar Liao, I asked her to clean up the laboratory.”

“She won’t need to sort out the experiments here in the future.” Liao Gaoang retracted his gaze blankly.

He was antisocial, and the content of his research was all secrets of the Research Institute. Not to mention him, even Zuo Qiurong and Brother Ye didn’t expect there to be a new student.

Zuo Qiurong nodded.

Scholar Liao had strict schedules, and he was as rigorous as a robot.

He raised his hand to check the time before going out for dinner.

Zuo Qiurong and Brother Ye quickly followed.

Pausing, Brother Ye turned around to comfort Qin Ran. “You just entered the laboratory and don’t understand a lot of things. Scholar Liao’s personality is like that. When I first came here, his research was also very important, and many things were forbidden to me. You should finish memorizing the manual first, then familiarize yourself with the laboratory. you’ll be familiar with it in a month or so.”

Qin Ran expressionlessly walked out with a scarf.

Outside the Physics laboratory’s gate, Cheng Juan’s car was parked not far away. He had probably been standing outside for a while and was now sitting against the front of the car, his figure long and slender. He placed one hand on the car and held his phone with the other.

The Physics laboratory was a restricted area, and not many people came and went.

Noticing someone coming out, he looked up and saw that it was Qin Ran. The streetlight outside was dim, and her expression couldn’t be seen clearly.

However, she looked to be in low spirits.

Raising an eyebrow, he stood up, waiting for her to approach him before embracing her. “Something happened?”

He only knew today that she had entered the laboratory.

He had been to the laboratory for a while as well, but his situation had been different at that time. The entire medical laboratory belonged to the Cheng family, so the laboratory had been under his control.

However...

Qin Ran’s situation was different. He calmly thought of Scholar Liao, whom she had mentioned to him before.

Narrowing his eyes, he reminded himself to get people to look him up.

“Nothing.” Qin Ran grabbed his clothes and rested her head on his shoulder. After calming down for about five minutes, she raised her head. “Let’s go back.”

Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng were both in Ting Lan.

The chef had prepared a meal for Qin Ran, but she didn’t return. Cheng Mu asked Old Master Cheng to eat first, but they didn’t want to.

It wasn’t until 7:30 that Qin Ran came back to start the meal.

“Ran Ran, did you go to the laboratory today?” asked Cheng Wenru as she picked up her chopsticks.

Cheng Juan looked up, glanced at her, and said in an emotionless voice, “She did. Didn’t I mention it to you an hour ago?”

Cheng Wenru resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him. “No, I wanted to know which teacher she was with?”

She glanced at Qin Ran again, smiling, showing kindness on her graceful face.

This time, Cheng Juan slowly replied to her again, “Scholar Liao Gaoang, a special researcher in the Research Institute. Any other questions?”

Cheng Wenru was speechless. Was she asking him??

She reminded herself about the deficit several times.

“Oh, a special-grade researcher.” Old Master Cheng also looked up in surprise and thought for a while. “The First Hospital has only six special researchers, but you’re lucky to meet one of them.”

Butler Cheng reminded him. “Old Master, there are five special researchers in the First Hospital.”

“Wasn’t it six...” Taken aback, Old Master Cheng suddenly remembered something and nodded. He turned to Qin Ran again, his eyebrows slightly raised. “Ran Ran, perform well. That Scholar Liao will definitely accept you as a disciple.”

Generally, special researchers didn’t casually accept disciples.

They also controlled part of the confidential content.

But at this time, Butler Qin didn’t dare to remind Old Master Cheng of this. After all... he also felt that given Qin Ran’s qualifications, he wouldn’t be surprised if she was accepted as a disciple by a special researcher.

Squeezing the chopsticks and looking up, Cheng Juan indifferently stared at Old Master Cheng. “Dad, is the food not delicious?”

Old Master Cheng was stunned. “It’s delicious.”

Cheng Juan retracted his gaze and lazily said, “Oh.”

Everyone except Cheng Mu got the hint.

Within a minute, they realized that Cheng Juan was chiding Old Master Cheng for talking too much.

Nobody dared to speak after that, and the chef who collected the bowls didn’t even dare to look at Cheng Juan.

“Ran Ran.” After the meal, Old Master Cheng stayed behind and sat down opposite Qin Ran with a cup of tea.

Hugging a pillow, Qin Ran rested her head on it and took out her phone to open WeChat. She looked up at him with clear eyes.

Old Master Cheng lowered his head to take a sip of tea, coughing slightly. “You’ve finished your assessment, are you still busy?”

“Not really.” Qin Ran changed her posture.

Old Master Cheng nodded.

He fell silent again.

Beside him, Butler Cheng’s lips twitched, and he turned to Cheng Wenru. “Miss, the clothes you ordered have been sent back to the old house.”

Cheng Wenru had gone downstairs to watch Cheng Mu’s big screen.

Hearing this while walking upstairs, she narrowed her eyes. “What clothes?”

“The clothes you’ll wear on your Father’s birthday next week,” Butler Cheng respectfully replied.

Cheng Wenru calmly retracted her gaze. “I understand. Dad, I’ve already prepared a gift, but you can tell me what you want in advance.”

Old Master Cheng waved his hand as if he didn’t care too much. “Why would you prepare a gift? It’s just another birthday, not a big celebration. It’s unnecessary.”

Casually opening Lu Zhixin’s profile, Qin Ran heard this and looked up.

“Ran Ran, a few people will come on that day, as well as a hall master you’re familiar with.” Cheng Wenru walked towards her, laughing. “We’re all a family, do you want to come and play with us? Our house still has all the old buildings intact.”

Squinting, Qin Ran was deep in thought.

She didn’t respond for a while.

Old Master Cheng pretended to calmly drink tea.

After about two minutes, she looked up, her eyes clear. “I’ll see how it is.”

She didn’t agree nor refuse, so it was still negotiable.

Good.

It was much better than Old Master Cheng had expected.

After all, he had invited her during the festival before, but she had refused it without hesitation.

After sitting for a while with the teacup in his hand, he left with his hands behind his back.

Qin Ran was still sitting on the sofa, typing a message to send to Lu Zhixin—

[Is the black book on your shelf still there?]

Neighbor—

[??]

Squinting, Qin Ran thought for a while, then typed another message—

[Yun Cheng, computer store, the sixth book on the fourth floor of the second column of the bookshelf.]

After a few minutes—

[...]

[I’ve told you many times, it’s not called a black book.]

[That’s the Hacker Alliance’s programming book.]

Qin Ran squinted at the last line and was silent for a moment. It was indeed a black book with a black cover and a few stiff white horizontal and vertical lines as decoration. A few irregular white English letters were also written—

Black.

According to Lu Zhixin, it was an impressive cover that some hackers had specially developed.

Seriously.

It was the Hacker Alliance’s programming book.

She typed—

[Do you still have it?]

On the other end, Lu Zhixin pushed his glasses and blankly typed—

[It’s still in Ninghai Town, but I can get you a new one in a few days.]

**

After a few days.

Friday.

Qin Ran’s schedule was packed. After class, she received a message from Principal Xu.

She thought for a while and thought it was the experimental task assigned to her.

She took her backpack to see him.

At the same time.

In Physics laboratory B317, Brother Ye hurriedly walked in with a bunch of documents and sorted them out. “The little junior yesterday sorted out the data very quickly.”

He handed the documents to Scholar Liao and suddenly thought of something. “Have you seen the junior today?” he asked Zuo Qiurong.

Putting away the transformer and returning to read her papers, Zuo Qiurong just looked up, glanced outside, and shook her head, not caring too much. “Maybe she can’t accept the gap.”

Those in Beijing University’s Physics Department weren’t ordinary, especially those who could pass the laboratory test. They were considered geniuses.

But who wasn’t a genius in the laboratory?

Here, apart from the formal researchers, who had the capacity to be arrogant?
