Chapter 404: Tian Xiaoxiao: Why Did You Look for Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Ran completed a whole set of experiments.
She looked down at the energy-recording instrument, which had reached the maximum value she estimated. Relaxing, she neatly kept the equipment and returned to write on her computer.
At 11:30 am, Scholar Liao and the others returned from the underground reactor.
Brother Ye and Zuo Qiurong received big inspiration and immediately took their computers to record the breakthrough ideas down.
Scholar Liao continued doing experiments.
After completely a.n.a.lyzing the content of the experiment at this stage and then writing it down, Qin Ran picked up her phone and glanced at the display.
Nan Huiyao had called her 10 minutes ago.
She picked up the phone and swiped the screen to unlock it. Inside the laboratory, she didn’t pick up because she remembered Brother Ye and Zuo Qiurong telling her that Scholar Liao liked to be quiet.
She directly opened WeChat and clicked on Nan Huiyao’s profile—
[?]
Nan Huiyao seemed to be waiting for her reply and replied very quickly—
[You didn’t come to cla.s.s in the afternoon? I didn’t see you in the nuclear engineering cla.s.s.]
She even went to the nuclear engineering cla.s.s to wait for her.
Qin Ran slowly replied—
[I’m in the laboratory.]
Nan Huiyao: [We’ll have lunch together at 12:30 pm, at the canteen closed to you on the third floor!]
After a while, Qin Ran agreed.
She threw her phone onto the table and couldn’t help but pinch her eyebrows.
She realized that Nan Huiyao must be referring to Chu Heng and Xing Kai by “we.”
She stared at her phone for a long while before continuing drawing. Recalling the reactor experiment she had just done, she drew another drawing.
At 12:10 pm, she put the computer into her black backpack, gently pulled her chair, and went straight out.
As soon as Brother Ye finished writing down his inspiration, he looked up from his computer and saw Qin Ran leaving through the gla.s.s window.
In the experiment room, Scholar Liao poured a gla.s.s of water and pa.s.sed by the bench. He narrowed his eyes at the data on the instrument and asked, “You guys did experiments here?”
He tilted his head and asked Zuo Qiurong.
Zuo Qiurong lifted her head and glanced at the test bench he was referring to, then shook her head. “Brother Ye and I always do experiments in the second area.”
Scholar Liao took a sip of water and lightly nodded.
He stood there in deep thoughts and then glanced at Qin Ran’s computer desk.

At 12:30 pm, Qin Ran went to meet Nan Huiyao and the others.
At the same time, in a private restaurant in Beijing.
Film Emperor Qin and his manager arrived first.
Qin Xiuchen sat down and hung off his bucket down jacket aside.
The manager took the tea on the table and poured himself and Qin Xiuchen a cup each. Instead of immediately ordering food, he waited for Sister Wen and Tian Xiaoxiao to reach first.
“I thought you wouldn’t reach out to Tian Xiaoxiao.” He held the teacup and smiled at Qin Xiuchen.
Leaning on the back of the chair and tapping on the table with his slender fingertips, Qin Xiuchen stared into s.p.a.ce and didn’t reply to him.
If it had been in the past, he wouldn’t have found her…
But now, thinking of what Butler Qin said to him last night, he narrowed his eyes.
As they were talking, the manager’s phone rang with a call from Sister Wen. He immediately stood up and opened the door. Tian Xiaoxiao and Sister Wen had just arrived.
“Come in quickly.” This private restaurant was very private, so the manager wasn’t afraid of paparazzi and only closed the door after they entered.
“Film Emperor Qin.” Sister Wen and Tian Xiaoxiao respectfully greeted him.
Film Emperor Qin got up, his usual indifferent expression tinged with politeness. “Please sit.”
He handed them the menu.
Tian Xiaoxiao rejected it. “Film Emperor Qin, we’ll eat whatever you order!”
These two revered him and didn’t want to order anything at all. Film Emperor Qin didn’t force them and handed the menu to his manager instead.
After inquiring about their tastes, he ordered a few dishes.
When the dishes were served, Film Emperor Qin pursed his lips. “The reason why I’m looking for Miss Tian…”
“No, Film Emperor Qin, just call me Xiaoxiao!” Tian Xiaoxiao was caught between laughter and tears. “If Ran Ran knows that you’re calling me Miss Tian…”
Film Emperor Qin’s expression slightly softened at the mention of Qin Ran.
He pondered for a while and then asked, “You’re a registered disciple of Master Wei?”
“Yes.” Tian Xiaoxiao picked up her chopsticks and nodded.
Film Emperor Qin seemed a little relieved as he took a sip of tea. “How’s your relations.h.i.+p with your teacher?”
“You mean Master Wei?” Tian Xiaoxiao picked up the chopsticks and coughed awkwardly. “Besides him criticizing my talent… our relations.h.i.+p is not bad.
Of Master Wei’s three apprentices, she was the worst.
Tian Xiaoxiao never revealed that she was Master Wei’s apprentice because compared to the other two…
How could she dare to…
Although she said it was “not bad,” her expression couldn’t lie and revealed that it was a good relations.h.i.+p.
Film Emperor Qin fell into a moment of silence.
Tian Xiaoxiao looked up and inquired, “You want to ask about my teacher?”
Putting down his teacup, Film Emperor Qin hesitated. “I came to find you because there’s something I need your help with…”
Tian Xiaoxiao immediately put down her chopsticks and excitedly said, “Tell me. As long as I can help a little bit, I will go through mountains of daggers and seas of flames for you!”
Qin Ran and Film Emperor Qin had helped her so much…
She had even escaped from falling into oblivion…
In particular, she couldn’t find any chances to repay her debt. After all, they were all big bosses. Tian Xiaoxiao felt like other than serving and pouring tea for them, she might not find any chance to repay them in this life.
At this time, after hearing that Film Emperor Qin needed her help, how could she remain calm?
Sitting next to her, the manager glanced at her expression and laughed involuntarily. “It’s not so serious to go through mountains of daggers and seas of flames. Film Emperor Qin just wanted you to help introduce him to Master Wei. Is that convenient?”
Tian Xiaoxiao’s excited expression condensed a little.
After about a few seconds, she sat down again.
The manager originally thought that she would agree and didn’t expect her to have such an expression.
Stunned, he quickly added, “If it’s not convenient, then it’s al…”
“Oh, no.” Tian Xiaoxiao looked up. “It’s not that. I was just wondering… why did you look for me…”
