Chapter 419: Paintings of Continent M History Museum
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Still staring at the painting, Old Master Cheng just said “Ah”.
Cheng Juan approached, looked at the painting, and faintly said, “It’s authentic. Dad, quickly put it in your private library.” He calmly raised his hand and looked at the ti on his watch. “We’re in a hurry and will go back first.”
Old Master Cheng seed to be in a daze and just nodded.
Cheng Juan glanced at him before leading Qin Ran away.
Cheng Mu also politely greeted Old Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru, but both of them ignored him.
Cheng Juan and the others left.
In about two minutes, Old Master Cheng was the first to react.
He hesitantly looked at Cheng Wenru. “Your brother said this is authentic, but I rember... wasn’t this recorded at the auction and included as a painting in Continent M’s history museum?”
The manager also returned to his senses. He took out a special tool from his bag to examine the map of mountains and rivers. “You rembered correctly. According to the treasure records, the map of mountains and rivers has indeed been in Continent M’s history museum for many years.”
After checking it for a long ti, he took out his phone to take pictures to confirm with so others.
He took a deep breath. “This is indeed authentic.”
He finally breathed.
Not only him.
Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng both paused.
“Wenru.” After a long while, Old Master Cheng carried a cup of tea and looked closely at the painting, his fingers slightly trembling. “Do you know who Ran Ran’s friend is?” How did he get Continent M’s painting??
Sitting aside with a blank expression, Cheng Wenru paused for a long while before saying, “I want to know too.”
She rembered the big pearl.
“Why does it seem like the Third Young Master...” The manager suddenly thought of sothing and turned to Old Master Cheng. “He seed to be well-researched on these things and could tell at a glance?”
“He has studied the restoration of antiques for a period of ti,” Cheng Wenru said. “When he was 13 years old, one of my Dad’s ancient pottery horses broke. He took a book and learned a bunch of tools for a while to finally recover it...”
Speaking of this, she couldn’t help but pause.
At the age of 13, Cheng Juan had learned antique restoration for an ancient pottery horse of his father’s...
But after 14 years old, he seed... nonchalant about the two incomplete antiques of Old Master Cheng, and his behavior beca more and more amble and he never stayed in Beijing for long. Let alone Beijing, he didn’t even return much to the Cheng family. He did everything once and then stopped... Otherwise, Cheng Wenru wouldn’t be so worried about him.
If Qin Ran hadn’t co to Beijing, Cheng Wenru wasn’t sure how long he would stay in Beijing.
“Can I see the ancient horse?” The manager looked at Old Master Cheng.
Smiling, Old Master Cheng waved his hands. “Of course.”

On the other side.
Sitting on the bench in the corridor with her cloak, Qin Ran waited for Cheng Juan to get the keys.
Cheng Juan didn’t drive his own car today, and Cheng Mu was staying in the Cheng family’s house for a while longer. However, Cheng Juan had many cars and was getting a new key from the yard.
Qin Ran sat sideways with her legs casually crossed. She looked down and unhurriedly sent a ssage to Giant Crocodile.
She asked why he sent such a rare chanical box without telling her in advance. She was strong and didn’t know how rare it was, and the almost-extinct chanical box had been broken by her...
Giant Crocodile was speechless.
Giant Crocodile: [It’s ceremonial.]
Giant Crocodile: [Brother, it’s okay. I was afraid you would be impatient, so I specifically didn’t tell you. If you don’t like it, I can send you another next ti.]
Qin Ran stared at the words “It’s ceremonial” for a long ti.
She closed the chat page.
Then, she violently played a new ga that Qin Ling had never seen before. Her technique was much more rough than usual.
“Sister Ran, your temper has gone up today.” Cheng Juan shook the car keys in his hands and stood behind her looking.
Qin Ran’s face was casual, but her hands playing the ga weren’t soft, and she remained silent.
Sitting down and leaning against her, Cheng Juan wrapped his fingers around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulders. He hooked her waist from the side with one hand and softly whispered, “Continue playing, I’ll watch.”
Qin Ran poked the phone and unhurriedly sent a screen recording to Qin Ling.

The next day.
Monday.
At noon, Qin Ran had an appointnt with Nan Huiyao and the others.
She connected the computer to the printer in the laboratory, printed the two docunts in the file tray, bound the two docunts, and stuffed them into the black backpack. She checked the docunt, thought for a mont, and clicked to reprint it.
Instead of putting the docunts into her bag, she went to the restroom, her backpack in one hand, and the docunts in her other.
She always walked very quietly.
Brother Ye ca to the lounge to get a cup of water and smiled at her. “Little junior.”
Taking off her protective clothing and slowly wearing her coat, Qin Ran greeted him as well.
When Brother Ye took the cup and was about to head out, he heard a fresh, female voice call, “Brother Ye, wait.”
“What’s the matter?” He stopped and turned around to smile at her.
Having put on her coat, Qin Ran handed the last printed docunt on the table to Brother Ye and casually said, “This is a copy of the spacecraft data I compiled at noon last week. Take a look, it might be helpful for your research.”
“You...” Brother Ye stood at the door, staring at the docunts in a daze.
He thought that she must have taken Scholar Liao’s words in the morning to heart.
Scholar Liao had said she would seriously be of help to their research...
Brother Ye knew that she went to the library at noon every day.
He didn’t expect her to have sorted out the information in one afternoon that day.
“It’s nothing too important.” Buttoning her cloak and picking up her black backpack with one hand, she looked at Brother Ye with a lazy smile. “I didn’t have much ti to organize them for you, I hope you don’t mind. I hope it’ll be useful to you.”
Having been to the laboratory for a short while, she rembered the various tis Brother Ye spoke up for her.
She took her backpack and left, taking two steps, and then lightly saying, “Don’t worry, I already have a teacher.”
Behind her, Brother Ye stood there for a long while before opening the docunt.
He thought that Qin Ran’s random sorting was really random, but when he opened it... Unexpectedly, everything was targeted and clear.
When Scholar Liao said she could help the team, he had also been a little skeptical. Only after seeing this plan did he understand Scholar Liao’s aning.
Qin Ran’s automation was originally at full level, and this city’s competition was about aerospace propulsion. For her, it wasn’t particularly challenging, especially since her brain was already sensitive to this aspect and she also had very strong hands-on skills. Although she had only spent one afternoon on it, she had already drawn out a plan.
Brother Ye stood at the door for a long ti. Having stayed there for so long, he had witnessed lots of open fights and covert maneuvers.
He had always seen through things clearly, but looking at the planning book now, he couldn’t help but feel ashad.
“Brother Ye?” When Zuo Qiurong ca over to change her clothes for lunch, she noticed him standing there for a long ti.
Brother Ye put away the docunts and turned around, but he didn’t show the docunts to her. He turned to the side and gave way for her without saying anything.
While working on the project on the weekends, they had already been a little awkward.
At this mont, seeing Brother Ye’s expression, Zuo Qiurong couldn’t suppress it anymore. After making sure that Scholar Liao wasn’t nearby, she lowered her voice and sneered. “Brother Ye, I already told you last ti, do you really not know or are you pretending not to? Scholar Liao obviously wants to pave the way for Qin Ran, and even... wants to accept her as a disciple. Should we make her a wedding dress?”
She couldn’t help but feel anxious at the thought of Qin Ran participating in her research and having her na included.
“She has only been to the laboratory for a few days and is on equal footing with us? Who in the laboratory didn’t endure it step by step?” She pursed her lips. “You...”
Brother Ye’s expression didn’t change. He flicked away Zuo Qiurong’s hand, and his grip on the docunts tightened.
He then directly opened the door and left.
He didn’t tell Zuo Qiurong that Qin Ran already had a teacher, let alone show her the plan.
Zuo Qiurong...
She had no idea what she just missed.

In the cafeteria.
Nan Huiyao and the others arrived long ago and ordered their food.
“Ran Ran, you ca just in ti. I’ve studied a bunch of automation books...” Nan Huiyao patted her schoolbag.
Sitting down on the iron chair, Qin Ran glanced at the docunt, then put her backpack on the table. She unzipped it and took out two printed docunts from inside.
“Take a look at this first.” Qin Ran handed the docunt to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng opened it and saw that it was a plan for the project “Industrial Machinery.” He smiled. “I just happened to read a lot of books on this on Sunday.”
Leaning on the back of the chair, Qin Ran poked her straw into the Coke can, propped her chin up, and took a sip before saying, “Industrial machinery is a backup plan I prepared for you because I’m not sure if you’ll want to continue doing my project after hearing my explanation...”
Nan Huiyao and Xing Kai imdiately kept their smiles and turned serious.
Chu Heng pursed his lips and solemnly said, “Go on.”
“Because it might involve radiation.” Qin Ran pursed her lips.
“That’s it?” Nan Huiyao heaved a sigh of relief with Xing Kai. “I was scared to death, I thought you were going to do so murder or arson. This is a small thing.”
The three of them waved their hands, and Nan Huiyao turned to Qin Ran, her face full of anticipation. “Then, what are we going to study on radiation?”
Their attitudes were beyond Qin Ran’s expectations.
She was speechless.
Glancing at Nan Huiyao, she silently pushed another docunt over.
