Chapter 510: On the cusp of a storm

Views:

Actually, Cheng Ran had a premonition that he would not meet Qin Qian when Gao Shaoning mentioned it. In addition, he had confirmed that Qin Qian was here, so he was mentally prepared in advance. So it was okay for him to meet her and he nodded in her direction.

Qin Qian and Yuan Huiqun's words were interrupted in the middle. They looked at Cheng Ran who appeared mechanically. Cheng Ran seemed very calm, especially in the face of their surprise. After the two of them nodded to him reflexively, Cheng Ran and Gao Shaoning came over. Cheng Ran said, "I came here with my cousin. I didn't expect you to be here too."

Yuan Huiqun smiled cunningly, Qin Qian nodded and smiled, "What a coincidence."

Cheng Ran felt that there was something wrong with her words, but it was a little unclear for a moment.

Gao Shaoning looked at Cheng Ran and then at Qin Qian, and said with a smile, "Just now I was wondering if you two knew each other, but I didn't expect that you really did know each other!"

Yuan Huiqun showed a mischievous expression.

Cheng Ran finally understood what was going on. He thought that he came here because he knew about their location through Gao Shaoning in advance.

Then Yuan Huiqun said, "How can you not know him? He is from The Return of the Condor Heroes." At the same time, he looked at Qin Qian.

"What what?" Gao Shaoning suddenly became interested.

Yuan Huiqun explained that Cheng Ran and a very outstanding girl in their No. 10 Middle School were classmates at Shanhai. After arriving, they went from being ranked more than 100 when they entered the second year of high school to ranking second at the end of the school year. Their story together with Jiang Hongshao, who ranked first, was called the Condor Heroes and spread throughout the grade.

Gao Shaoning was surprised by the girl who had the same nickname as Cheng Ran. Yuan Huiqun explained that it was just a rumor and there was no boyfriend-girlfriend relationship between them. Jiang Hongshao had good interpersonal relationships and they were classmates, so she was quite caring towards him.

When she said this, she looked at Qin Qian first, and then asked Cheng Ran, "Really?"

Cheng Ran nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Gao Shaoning's eyes were a little dazed. Although there were not many words, she was curious about what kind of girl she was, who could be so "caring" to this distant cousin whom the whole family almost looked up to at the family dinner party.

As the only top middle school in the province, many things in No. 10 Middle School are different from those in ordinary high schools. At the same time, it is also different from those key middle schools that rely on compressed work and rest and non-stop study as the only focus of life and strive to catch up with the score line to cultivate examination machines. The title of "small university" is not just a casual remark.

Yuan Huiqun suddenly thought of something and said, "Gao Shaoning, why don't you go put on makeup and change your clothes! If the iron-faced old Zhang sees you, you'll be scolded again!"

Just then, a middle-aged man came over and shouted from afar, "Gao Shaoning, what are you doing!" Then he saw Cheng Ran and said, "No one else, get out now!"

Gao Shaoning stuck out his tongue and wanted to go to the dressing room, but hesitated and looked at Cheng Ran. Qin Qian said, "I'll take him out."

When Qin Qian and Cheng Ran were walking out, Yuan Huiqun kept winking at her, and Qin Qian glared at her. Even as she and Cheng Ran walked forward, Yuan Huiqun was still winking at them from behind.

On the way to the door with Cheng Ran, Qin Qian asked, "Are you free today?"

Cheng Ran said, "Actually, it was my family's meal, and I got caught up in it. Gao Shaoning is actually in the same dance troupe as you. It's a small world."

Qin Qian looked at him carefully for a moment.

Cheng Ran was slightly startled, "What's wrong?"

Qin Qian turned around and said, "No."

It turns out... I didn't come here on purpose.

After thinking for a while, Qin Qian said, "I got the money from Jiang Zhou, thank you." She smiled and pursed her lips. Because of her ethnic makeup, her face was heavily rosy, and her eyes were more clear and flowing under the eye shadow. "I negotiated the sponsorship of the hospital, why didn't you give me some praise? This is not in line with your status as a boss."

Cheng Ran asked, "Didn't you give a big red envelope?"

Qin Qian said seriously, "I was reading a book on management the other day, and it said that employees need not only material rewards, but also spiritual pursuits and are more willing to be recognized. In this regard, nothing can compare to the motivation of a capable leader, which can have a more unexpected effect than material gains... You don't read books?"

Cheng Ran scratched his head. "It seems to be true. I was distracted. Actually, I did a very good job. I will give you credit for that. But one thing is, don't work so hard in the future. I'm giving you practice at this stage. Don't dive in and get stuck in it."

"Your words are not convincing at all. Look at the example you are showing us." Qin Qian pointed at him.

Cheng Ran said, "I agree with your idea of working in Tianxing Dojo and experiencing life. It is also good to gain something from it. But this should not be your focus at this stage. Tianxing Dojo can be your backing at any time, and you can show your strengths, but that may be a long time in the future. However, if you don't do some things now, you won't be able to do them in the future."

Qin Qian asked, "For example?"

"Like dancing well, if you like it, take it to the next level. Work hard to get good grades. Spend some memorable vacations with your friends and have fun. These are things that you will never get back if you miss them."

Qin Qian looked him in the eye and said seriously, "You are not much older than me, but why do you like to act so arrogantly?"

Cheng Ran was speechless for a moment.

"I understand." Qin Qian waved her hand, the corners of her lips slightly raised, "So you don't praise me. It's because you don't want me to be 'deep in the mud'."

Cheng Ran did not comment.

Qin Qian raised her eyelashes slightly. He looked a little calm, and it turned out that he was a little different from what she had expected... He was not confused.

But it's a good thing to ask clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

"I'll take you to the door. Gao Shaoning gave you the ticket, right?" Qin Qian said, standing at the backstage door. "Hurry up and go to the main hall."

Cheng Ran hummed and turned to leave.

But Qin Qian suddenly spoke up, "Cheng Ran, what you mean is that no matter how far I go in the future, your Tianxing Dojo will be the place where I can build my nest and rule the mountain?"

Cheng Ran paused and thought for a while. It seemed that what he had just said did have this meaning. But could the mere words "your support" lead to so many things

Of course they are basically the same, so Cheng Ran nodded.

Qin Qian's eye shadow rippled like a rainbow along with her smile and the light from the crystal chandelier.

"You wish!"

In fact, for Yao Beibei and Liu Ying, it was quite exciting to integrate into Shen Xihua's circle, meet Wu Lei, the son of the CEO of a prospective listed company, and listen to them talk about their entanglement with the dance troupe's lead dancer, a girl named Qin Qian. Although they didn't know what the situation was at the time, at least it was true that Wu Lei's head was broken.

It's fine if you don't agree to chase me, but what about breaking someone's head and stitching it up? That really needs an explanation. And they just saw Wu Lei's father Wu Liwei and his group passing by. They were surrounded by people from the organizers, and the staff led the way. Wu Liwei was accompanied by the senior executives of the Rongcheng Commercial Daily Group, and everyone was talking and laughing.

Wu Liwei was in his forties, with some flesh on his face and an imposing aura without anger. He was obviously a person who had been in a high position for a long time. When he came over, many of the children of officials or businessmen around Wu Lei called him "Uncle Wu!" in a proper manner. Wu Liwei nodded, and then looked at the gauze that Wu Lei couldn't cover even with his hat, and warned him with a hidden meaning on his face, "Don't make trouble for me."

Wu Lei kept nodding in response to his father, but only after his father and the organizers went in did he reveal his true colors. He made sidelong glances at the people around him, "My dad is just pretending. Today I told him that I would ask for an explanation from the woman who beat me up, and he just scolded me for not being able to even deal with a woman. The implication was that I have to deal with this matter, right?"

Someone talked about Wu Lei's deeds when he was a freshman in high school. There was a blind man who contradicted him in Jiahang. As a result, Wu Lei rushed into the classroom with a chair and smashed it at the man, making him vomit blood. Later, the man's family also tried to get involved. At first, they were unyielding. Wu Lei's father did not show up. It was his mother who went to negotiate and quoted a price. The man took the money and transferred to another school. It was said that the price was in the six-digit range. The school later symbolically gave Wu Lei a school-wide notice and the matter was left unresolved.

Disrupting school order, rushing into other students' classes and making them vomit blood, Wu Lei is considered a celebrity. This is well-known in that private high school. There is no way around it. Private high schools are like this sometimes. You can only rely on the party you cannot offend the most.

Yao Beibei and Liu Ying both felt that today's trip was worthwhile. Although the situation today was likely to be a one-sided outcome, at least they were here, showing solidarity, and could make more friends with them. After all, life is not always full of ups and downs, but more of it is dull and mediocre. Most people are actually like Wu Lei when they encounter something like today. They want an explanation on the one hand, and they also want to do something to make life more exciting. In short, everyone's condemnation and spitting made people secretly look forward to doing something.

until…

The two of them suddenly looked across at Cheng Ran, who was sent out by Qin Qian, the person they were denouncing.

At the center of the storm.

It’s the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, let’s have the family reunion dinner... Do you mind if I wish you a happy new year first
