Chapter 401: Hearing It Personally From Qin Ran Is More Impactful

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The manager didn’t know much about the Beijing Association but had seen it being mentioned in the live comments yesterday.

Tian Xiaoxiao belonged to the Beijing Association.

She seemed pretty impressive.

The manager casually clicked on Weibo.

Most of the netizens on Weibo were watching the show, and hundreds of comments were already posted—

“This blogger is evidently a kindred spirit, I recognized it when I watched the live broadcast last night. I thought I could see the hot search after watching the broadcast, but I didn’t expect to not find it after waiting all night.”

“I learned from both sides that everyone had focused only on Team OST last night and didn’t make many waves on the Beijing Association.”

“Blogger, you still dare to mention it? Your account will be gone.”

“Haha, blogger, giving you a warning!”

“It feels like the show had a big impact. I’ll take the liberty to guess, was the show yesterday still 8-hours Idol.”

“Beijing Association? I know that Tian Xiaoxiao is a member there. Ps: It’s the Beijing Association’s Violin Association.”

“Oh, the Violin Association. I thought it was a powerful organization. Aren’t there many of such organizations?”

“… Hey, do you know why out of so many organizations in Beijing, only the Violin Association dares to use the term Beijing Association? Go and search online before you talk.”

The manager was a wily old fox in the entertainment industry and knew that all families in Beijing were quite afraid of the Beijing Association.

Seeing this, he returned to the web and searched…

The Beijing Association on the encyclopedia also introduced the establishment time and specific location of the Beijing Association. The manager looked at it and didn’t find anything useful.

He returned to Weibo.

Thousands of comments were already on the post.

They were still discussing the Beijing Association, and the top hot comment had changed to a popular analytic comment. The manager seriously read—

“You won’t be able to find it online, but I can divulge that the Beijing Association is our first organization to enter Continent M. Even the four major families couldn’t achieve this. The main credit goes to Master Wei, but one of the four major families has opened a market in Continent M through him. As for the four major families, please don’t check it. By the way, let me tag @Master Wei. Continent M’s Association’s special lecturer, the first violinist to have a special performance at the Continent M’s Royal Concert Hall.”

Common people didn’t know much about this kind of thing, and their curiosity was immediately aroused when they saw this.

People in other places didn’t know, but those who had stayed in Beijing a long time, especially the students on the fringes of Beijing University, all knew the four major families.

Most people didn’t know, but the manager knew of the four major families because of the Qin family.

Naturally, this blogger must be a person in the circle.

“Film Emperor Qin, look at this…” He showed the comment to Film Emperor Qin in shock. “Beijing Association has entered Continent M’s Association?”

Holding a cup of tea, Qin Xiuchen paused upon seeing this and looked down at the comment.

His plain eyes were slightly squinted in surprise.

The Violin Association’s audience wasn’t as wide as the entertainment industry. Unless they were interested in the violin or someone around them learned the violin, most people wouldn’t pay attention and be nosy.

Most of the time, Qin Xiuchen didn’t rush to make announcements or cultivate forces to guard against the Fourth Master.

He really didn’t know about the Beijing Association.

“It should be the Xu family.” Qin Xiuchen thought for a while tapping the cup with his white fingertips.

He remembered that some of the Xu family members had always liked the violin. They must have been able to step into Continent M before other families because of the Beijing Association…

Qin Xiuchen retracted his gaze. The current Qin family was in a precarious position, so not to mention Continent M, it was a question if they could even remain stable.

The manager took back the phone and swiped again. He found that the analytic comment on the four major families was gone.

But the original blogger’s Weibo shot to fame.

“What a horrifying thought process.”

“I still have screenshots, message me if you need it.”

The manager scrolled through the comments and looked at Qin Xiuchen in shock. “Tian Xiaoxiao is actually a member of the Beijing Association. I really couldn’t tell. I thought she was just an unpopular star…”

A member of the Beijing Association was so miserable in the entertainment industry?

Tian Xiaoxiao wasn’t actually an extra…

No wonder the director said that there would be surprises in the second episode. If it weren’t for the God cards, the Beijing Association’s incident would have been very popular. It had only been suppressed because far more people played games than know about the Beijing Association.

The game incident had gone out of control the moment it exploded. The Beijing Association incident involved various forces and needed a while to dig information out of.

It was a terrifying thought like the comment that had just been deleted.

The manager opened the hot search and took a look.

“Tian Xiaoxiao in the Beijing Association” had already reached the fifth hot search.

He put down his phone and decided to look an hour later when the netizens had dug more things out.

“Clean up and come eat.” Qin Hanqiu first brought out a pile of vegetables and shouted to them.

Then, he took a rag and walked to Qin Ling’s door. After knocking twice, he went back to the kitchen to serve food without waiting for a response.

The manager helped Qin Hanqiu serve the food.

Qin Ran and Qin Ling came out of the room. Qin Ling was frowning, as if deep in thought.

The manager came out with the dishes and paused when he saw Qin Ran slowly walking out.

Although all the posts last night had been deleted overnight and had caused the hot search to lag for two hours, most people already knew more or less.

Everyone knew it very well.

Especially Qin Ran…

The manager knew she majored in Physics but didn’t expect her to be able to write her own program four years ago. She was indeed the Qin family’s bloodline…

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Qin Xiuchen, who was slowly setting the dishes with expression and attitude as always.

The manager remained silent. If it hadn’t been for the rapid braking sound last night, he would have sincerely admired Qin Xiuchen for being so calm.

“How are the dishes today?” Qin Hanqiu originally wanted to drink with the manager, but because he had to drive to rush for a commercial later, he could only regretfully put down the wine glass.

Qin Xiuchen nodded, thought for a while, and said, “It tastes very good, not inferior to the hotel food outside.”

Upon hearing such high praise, Qin Hanqiu happily brought a glass of wine and poured himself a glass.

Qin Xiuchen glanced at Qin Ran. She was sitting next to Qin Ling, with one hand sandwiching a piece of meat, and the other hand casually resting on the table, her emotions unclear.

He looked away.

After finishing his meal, Qin Ling immediately went back to the room to read his book while the others helped Qin Hanqiu clean up the table.

“It’s okay.” Qin Hanqiu immediately stopped them when they wanted to enter the kitchen. “You guys will only mess up my kitchen.”

1

His seasonings, plates, and tableware were all arranged in an orderly manner. Even if he had just finished cooking, the kitchen things were all arranged in order.

Qin Ran put the bowl on the chopping board.

Qin Xiuchen put the dish on the chopping board.

The manager put the rag on the chopping board.

The three silently walked out of the kitchen.

2

In the kitchen, Qin Hanqiu muttered, “Xiao Cheng is more useful.”

Qin Xiuchen had to rush to the commercial. He went out with his bucket down jacket, looking as indifferent as always, and gently bid farewell to Qin Ran.

He closed the door behind him.

Qin Ran stood there sending them off.

Qin Xiuchen walked to the elevator, but the manager didn’t follow.

He turned around, pulling the zipper of his down jacket, and looked at him.

The manager thought for a moment and walked back. “Little niece, can I ask something?”

Qin Ran leaned against the door frame. “Go on.”

“Okay.” The manager coughed and pretended to casually ask, “Did you really make the three God cards as they said online?”

The Internet had fallen into an uproar, and all the posts on this matter had been deleted.

But as an official, neither Yang Fei nor the Yunguang Consortium made a sound.

A few steps away, Qin Xiuchen’s fingertips paused on the elevator button.

Qin Ran lazily smiled and glanced at the manager. “Yeah.”

The manager originally thought that she wouldn’t admit it after deleting the posts so quickly last night, and had even prepared evidence of the screenshots of the nine God cards, the qr Weibo account, and the video of last year’s competition in Shanghai.

But Qin Ran had generously admitted it before he could take them out.

He was rooted to the ground.

Qin Ran checked the time on her phone and reminded him. “Don’t you guys have a commercial to rush to?”

Ding—

The elevator door opened.

“Oh.” The manager finally reacted and followed Film Emperor Qin into the elevator.

He returned to his senses and quietly stared at Qin Xiuchen. “Film Emperor Qin, did you hear that? She just admitted it…”

Staring at the slowly changing floors on the elevator, Qin Xiuchen was speechless.

Hearing it directly from Qin Ran was much more impactful than hearing it on the Internet.

Upstairs.

After lunch, Qin Ran got ready to go back to study the subject given by Principal Xu.

As soon as she entered Qin Ling’s room, Qin Hanqiu’s voice rang out as he greeted Ah Hai.

Ah Hai knocked on the door and saw Qin Ran standing inside. Qin Xiuchen had introduced him to her before.

He very politely greeted her.

Putting the computer he brought onto the desk, he didn’t teach Qin Ling immediately because of Qin Ran’s presence.

Qin Ran knew that Ah Hai was here to teacher Qin Ling the basics. She stood upright and took her phone. “I’m going now. I might be busy with research for a while.” She continued before closing the door, “Come to me if you encounter any problem.”

“Thank you, Miss Qin.” Ah Hai politely nodded, not really planning to find her for any problem.

He relaxed when she left.

Qin Ling was closing a black book.

Ah Hai asked, “What were you reading?”
