Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Panda Novel

With the Qin Corporation’s recent rapid development and the return of the divided Qin family, credible management was still scarce.

Minister Qin originally planned to stay in Shanghai for two more days and look after Qin Ran.

Too many people in the Qin family were missing her, but there were so many businesses to attend to that the headquarters had urgently called him back just now.

“Minister Qin, why are you so anxious? You’re not eating lunch?” Out of the five brothers, Cheng Mu was the one who visited the Qin family most and had the deepest relationship with Minister Qin.

Minister Qin nodded. “Second Master and Mr. Lu are still waiting for my return.”

Before turning to leave, he gave Qin Ran an earnest look. “Miss, eat less hotpot. Mr. Lu said…”

“Oh, stop.” Qin Ran put her hands on the table and looked up blankly at him. “Minister Qin, not today.”

Although he had borrowed Lu Zhixin’s list, Minister Qin still didn’t dare to act too presumptuously in front of his big boss.

After all, Lu Zhixin’s computer had once been hacked by her. Although no one in the company said it, everyone knew that Lu Zhixin had been indifferent to her hacking him openly.

Only Qin Ran could do this.

He politely bade Qin Ran farewell and then left respectfully.

Cheng Mu sent him off.

After he had left, Qin Ran leaned back and handed the exquisite menu to Editor Shen. “Editor Shen, please order some dishes first.”

Editor Shen had been abruptly interrupted before he could finish warning her about Fourth Master Liu.

He and Assistant Cao were still staring at the door.

Qin Ran handed him the menu, and Editor Shen subconsciously took it, his movements a little stiff.

The two of them had naturally recognized the middle-aged man just now. He was the figure from Beijing that Mo Zhihuai had personally received yesterday.

In Shanghai, it was rare to see Mo Zhihuai treat someone so respectfully, so Editor Shen and Assistant Cao had remembered him clearly.

Although Minister Qin looked very different from yesterday’s elite successful persona, they had both recognized him.

Turning to the first page of the menu and looking at the words one by one, Editor Shen could only think about Qin Ran’s affair and couldn’t register the words at all.

He cleared his throat. “Magic Lamp, that was…”

“An elder from my family,” Qin Ran explained calmly while holding the teacup.

Squeak.

Upon returning, the squeak of the door opening as Cheng Mu entered made Editor Shen and Assistant Cao jump back to their senses.

Cheng Mu remembered that Editor Shen had been talking about Fourth Master Liu just now. He sat down on his seat and looked at him. “You were talking about Fourth Master Liu?” Then, he suddenly turned to Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, should I ask Liu Jue?”

“Whatever.” Qin Ran was nonchalant and just squinted at Editor Shen. “Editor Shen, what grievances do you have with Editor Liu?”

“It’s just some personal grievances.” Editor Shen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, suppressing his shock.

He and Assistant Cao weren’t stupid and had been in the workplace for so many years. Not to mention in Pinnacle Studios, the cooperation between the Mo family and Beijing’s major family was also a sensation in Shanghai.

That “Mr. Qin” was so familiar with Magic Lamp and had even called her Miss…

And Cheng Mu had mentioned “Liu Jue”…

Editor Shen didn’t know who he meant, but he knew that Cheng Mu was probably talking about the Liu family.

Both of them subconsciously realized that Magic Lamp wasn’t a simple person, and could be a rich and beautiful lady.

“Okay.” Qin Ran nodded and didn’t ask further. She asked them to order again.

Editor Shen randomly ordered a few dishes.

Assistant Cao also did so in a daze.

…

At 11 o’clock.

After putting the pot base, the service staff turned on the hotpot and waited for the bottom to slowly heat up.

Editor Shen finally calmed down and didn’t react as intensely. He continued talking seriously about Editor Liu.

While talking, he glanced at the seat beside Qin Ran. There was a cup of hot water on the seat and a pair of chopsticks, but it wasn’t for Cheng Mu.

“A friend is coming. Let’s cook the meat first, he’ll be here soon.” Qin Ran explained when she saw him staring at the seat beside her. Then, she reached out to pour a plate of meat into the spicy hotpot.

Editor Shen didn’t have much of an appetite after suffering such big blows from Magic Lamp.

He nodded indiscriminately. “Oh, you still have a friend coming.”

Two minutes later.

Cheng Mu stood up again and opened the door.

This time, it was a man wearing a mask, a black cap, and a black coat despite the hot summer weather.

Behind him was a fat middle-aged man.

He was shorter than Cheng Mu.

His face couldn’t be seen, but his white and slender fingers looked like that of an artist, and he also exuded an artistic vibe.

“You’re finally here.” Cheng Mu closed the door behind them.

“I set off more than an hour earlier, but there was restricted traffic and sealed off roads, so I arrived late.” The room was air-conditioned, so Yan Xi took off his cap and mask and stuffed them into the pocket of his black coat.

He directly walked over to the seat beside Qin Ran, not at all curious about the two people sitting opposite her.

He had come to know many people since Qin Ran’s wedding.

Even Boss Wang was a little impressed by the people he knew now.

“Hello, I’m Yan Xi.” Yan Xi greeted Editor Shen and Assistant Cao very gently before sitting down.

Bam—

Assistant Cao’s teacup overturned and fell to the ground, causing the clear tea to spill onto the floor.

“Yan, Yan, King Yan??!” Assistant Cao sucked in a deep breath.

It was a very genuine reaction.

When Qin Xiuchen’s studio first liked Yiyi Zining’s Weibo, the editorial department had talked about it many times.

Qin Xiuchen and Yan Xi were crowned kings in different fields of the entertainment industry.

Assistant Cao and Editor Shen didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but they had heard Yan Xi’s songs before and had even watched his music videos played in the square.

They could forcibly be considered Yan Xi’s staff, but according to Yan Xi’s status in the music world, he was indeed very different from them ordinary people.

“Are you two locals of Shanghai?” Yan Xi and Qin Ran weren’t very fond of talking, and only Boss Wang was a good socialist.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he calmly asked about Editor Shen and Assistant Cao.

Yan Xi and Boss Wang didn’t seem as cold and difficult to approach as Editor Shen and Assistant Cao imagined. They even seemed kind of pleasant.

Editor Shen and Assistant Cao quickly relaxed.

They chatted with Boss Wang and Cheng Mu.

Opposite, Yan Xi was talking to Qin Ran.

“When will you return to Beijing?” Yan Xi took a sip of the clear broth.

Qin Ran held up her chopsticks. “It depends on the situation. I’ve other things to do here.”

“The arrangement for these two months…”

Without even turning her head, Qin Ran said calmly, “I don’t know, I don’t have time. Don’t ask me.”

Yan Xi rubbed his nose and nodded. Then, he asked about something else.

It was very simple, he wanted to be Qin Ran’s child’s godfather.

They chatted and ate for two hours.

Qin Ran only finished half of her meal, and then the service staff served dessert and watermelon.

After eating, the manager asked Qin Ran if she wanted to watch their variety show together.

Qin Ran rejected him.

The manager and Yan Xi left first.

Qin Ran then turned to Editor Shen and handed the contract Minister Qin handed her to him. “Editor Shen, this is for you.”

“What’s this?” Editor Shen took the document wrapped in kraft paper.

“You’ll know once you read it.” Qin Ran waved to him and bid her farewell. “Don’t be so afraid of that Fourth Master Liu.”

Qin Ran got into Cheng Juan’s car parked opposite.

When the black car drove away, Assistant Cao and Editor Shen exchanged glances. Assistant Cao coughed. “Magic Lamp is really beyond my expectation. She’s not short of money at all, no wonder she isn’t afraid of Fourth Master Liu…”

Judging by the car that had come to pick her up, she didn’t know what car it was, but she recognized the icon.

It wasn’t cheap at all.

Sighing, Assistant Cao looked at the file in Editor Shen’s hands and asked curiously, “What is it?”

She remembered that “Mr. Qin” had given this to Magic Lamp.

Editor Shen nodded and opened the kraft paper.

Inside was a document.
