Madam, Your Vest Fell Again

The man beside Tang Qing stared at her and gasped in surprise. “Miss Tang?”

However, Tang Qing didn’t reply. After deleting the code, she pulled her chair and stood up to look around. Everyone was studying the code excitedly.

She felt even more irritable at the moment. Lowering her head, she turned off her computer before walking out of the information hall.

Most people were studying the new code and didn’t notice her leaving.

Only Jerry saw her.

“What’s the matter with her?” Nine days later, Jerry no longer needed crutches. He walked over to the man beside Tang Qing and asked.

The man heard his voice and stood up immediately. “Miss Tang deleted the code on her computer and left. I’m not sure what she’s doing either.”

Jerry frowned.

He wasn’t especially intuitive, but he could also tell from the last practice in the training ground that Tang Qing and Qin Ran didn’t see eye to eye.

Thinking of this, he shook his head. “Forget it, let her delete it.”

He returned to his seat and sent a message to Cheng Huo about it.

Cheng Huo was walking to the study with Qin Ran.

He was still climbing the stairs when he received this news. Immediately, his footsteps paused.

“What’s wrong?” The temperature in the old castle was high. So, Qin Ran was unbuttoning her coat. She stopped as well and turned around.

Cheng Huo sent a message: [Don’t care about her.]

Then, he looked up and smiled calmly. “Jerry just asked me a question.”

He didn’t tell Qin Ran about this.

Cheng Huo hadn’t concealed the fact that the code had been written by Qin Ran. However, Tang Qing still directly deleted the code. If this kind of thing happened to himself, Cheng Huo really wouldn’t be happy.

There was no need to tell Qin Ran about this, or she might be angry.

The two went into the study and Cheng Huo reported to Cheng Juan on the latest progress.

In the end, he said, “Boss, regarding Tang Qing, I’ve decided to let her participate in the assessment under strict requirements according to our conventions.”

When Cheng Huo returned, he hadn’t planned on letting Tang Qing participate in the assessment.

Tang Qing was a newcomer to the Hacker Alliance. Cheng Huo had worked with her before and had found her computer skills really impressive. Although her character was flawed, it was only normal for humans to have flaws.

Cheng Huo had felt very optimistic about her.

But in the past twenty or so days in the manor, he discovered that her arrogance was her downfall.

She was too impetuous, arrogant, and self-centered. The last attribute was especially taboo in a group.

Of course, the more disappointing thing was that Tang Qing had interrupted Qin Ran for no reason.

Cheng Huo couldn’t help but think quietly that if Tang Qing hadn’t interrupted at that time, would Qin Ran have told him long ago?

No one had said anything after Mr. Lu left, but Cheng Huo knew who he had come for.

“Ok.” Cheng Juan nodded. He put the file in his hand down and looked at Cheng Huo. “Report to Cheng Shui about that.”

Cheng Huo nodded and went out.

Qin Ran sat on her seat, propping her chin in one hand and holding a book in the other.

Once Cheng Huo left, she turned to Cheng Juan. “Why are you looking for me?”

“The assessment begins the day after tomorrow and will last for four days. A few days after the assessment, it’ll be the New Year.” Cheng Juan looked up at Qin Ran and pondered for a while before continuing, “Are you going over to Gu Xichi’s after the assessment or after the New Year? Or are you going in the afternoon and coming back tomorrow?”

This year, Cheng Juan didn’t plan on returning to Yun Cheng nor Beijing.

Gu Xichi’s drug had a long trial period and was a great step forward in the history of medicine. Hence, he would be staying in the medical organization for a month.

It would be too rushed to go before or after the New Year.

“Then I’ll go in the afternoon.” Qin Ran held her chin in her hand and decided without much hesitation.

“Ok.” Cheng Juan nodded. It was as he thought.

Reaching out, he sent Gu Xichi a message to confirm her visit to the medical organization.

After that, he leaned back in his chair and stared at her.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Ran looked up.

With gentle eyes and a hint of amusement in his voice, he said, “I just thought of something… the assessment is very fun, do you want me to put your name in? You’ll probably be on par with Cheng Shui.”

In the assessment, talents who were included in the list could accept or actively challenge others.

Cheng Shui was on the list every year, but no one dared to provoke him.

Cheng Shui, who had just opened the door and was about to hand this year’s list to Cheng Juan, was speechless.

In the medical organization.

Gu Xichi held a pen and paper, recording the state of the white rat and performing various routine checks.

“How is it?” The old man beside him asking seriously, wearing a pair of reading glasses.

Gu Xichi recorded the last data and handed the book to the old man. He massaged his eyebrows and said, “Look at it yourself.”

For the results of this experiment, Gu Xichi hadn’t slept for almost three days.

The phone in his pocket rang again and he glanced down at it.

It was a message from Cheng Juan saying that he was bringing Qin Ran to play in the afternoon.

Gu Xichi leaned on the table and grinned. He had indeed not seen Qin Ran for a long time.

Someone handed him a glass of warm water.

Gu Xichi reached out and took it. He leaned on the table and drank half a glass of it before looking over to Jiang Dongye. “You really don’t have to spend time with me here, I won’t be going to Beijing anytime soon.”

Instead of answering, Jiang Dongye just raised an eyebrow. “Shouldn’t you sleep now?”

Great progress had been made in this experiment. The old man beside him optimistically read the data and returned the book to Gu Xichi with a big smile on his face. “Xiao Chi, did something good happen?”

He saw that Gu Xichi was smiling at his phone.

“A good thing indeed.” Gu Xichi didn’t reply to Jiang Dongye and turned to the old man, his brows gentle. “Brother and Ran Ran are coming in the afternoon.”

The old man had completely forgotten about Cheng Juan this month.

At the mention of him, the smile on his face due to the experiment immediately disappeared. “This… this afternoon?”

Gu Xichi nodded.

Without saying a word, the old man went back to his desk and put away all the theoretical papers.contemporary romance

“Brother Gu, what happened to Teacher?” This year’s new student took a test tube filled with blue liquid and handed it to Gu Xichi.

After spending half a year in the medical organization, he had never seen the old man so panic-stricken.

Gu Xichi put the quilt to the side and stretched lazily. Then, he glanced at the student sympathetically. “Your father is coming in the afternoon.”

The student’s face paled in fright. Wasn’t his father in China?

**

At the same time in Continent M’s manor.

The biggest training ground was closed and some people inside were preparing for the assessment test tomorrow.

Everyone could only train in the slightly smaller outdoor training grounds.

Tang Qing was naturally in one of the training grounds as well. She didn’t go to the information hall for the past two days and only focused on the training ground. Although her boxing strength was good, her skills weren’t enough.

This past month, after finding out she had to participate in the assessment, she had consulted the law enforcement men whenever she had time.

People in the law enforcement hall knew that Tang Qing was a member of the Hacker Alliance. Cheng Huo had also shown great favor towards her, so they were naturally dedicated to teaching her.

Men from the law enforcement hall were first-class masters.

After coming to the manor for a month and training under the guidance of these people, Tang Qing made rapid progress in her skills.

She measured her boxing strength again.

752.

It was her highest boxing score yet.

Beside her, someone from the law enforcement hall was surprised. “Miss Tang, you’ve improved a lot!”

30 points was really a major improvement.

Tang Qing withdrew her hand and smiled at being the center of attention. Then, she turned to look at Luo Dui.

After a month here, she naturally knew that even among the people in the manor, there were different levels of power.

First was Cheng Juan, then Cheng Shui, then the leaders of each branch. Following that were the core people of each branch, such as Luo Dui. Lastly, the ordinary members.

Thinking of this, she turned to Luo Dui.

Luo Dui also looked at her and his eyes seemed to light up.

Then he walked towards her at high speed.

Tang Qing froze. Although surprised, she managed to remain calm. Her hand was still on the punching machine and her expression was still cold.

However, she smiled slightly at him.

But without waiting for her to greet him, Luo Dui passed her directly and walked behind her.

She could hear his cheerful voice call, “Miss Qin, Miss Qin!”

Tang Qing’s face stiffened and she looked back. The small training ground was close to the flower garden, where Qin Ran was holding a watering can and watering a yellow flower.

The flower bed was covered with a layer of glass, but it wasn’t soundproof, so they could hear the conversation inside.

This small training ground was also sunken. Luo Dui was obviously very strong and jumped directly down to find Qin Ran.

Qin Ran had been very popular in the manor for a while now.

Tang Qing stared at her and asked, “Is that Miss Qin joining the assessment this year?”

“I guess? I think our leader told us,” someone beside answered.

“That’s good.” Tang Qing nodded.

The fastest way to gain a firm foothold in this place was to squash the person with the most limelight under her feet. She could establish prestige and use her as a stepping stone.

Tang Qing stared at Qin Ran, her blue eyes full of ridicule. Unfortunately, this Miss Qin would become her stepping stone.
