Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Panda Novel

Zuo Qiurong stood rooted to the spot, staring at the plan thrown at her by Brother Ye in a daze.

She now regretted hastily spitting her words.

Squeezing the plan in her hands, she didn’t dare to even read it thoroughly.

Looking up, she only saw Brother Ye’s angry and disappointed face, and involuntarily took a step back.

Brother Ye shook off the truth in the first second after Zuo Qiurong finished speaking.

At the same time, a thin layer of cold sweat broke on his back.

If he hadn’t kept the plan given by Qin Ran at that time, Zuo Qiurong’s words today would definitely leave a stain on her.

This kind of stain wasn’t worth a mention on other people, but its impact would certainly be magnified on Qin Ran.

“Little Junior still gave me the plan after you tore up her list. She agreed to participate in this competition despite already having the ICNE project. This competition holds no weight to her, but she still put in the effort to write a plan for our team. You only managed to win first place amongst the three people because of the points I wrote with her plan.

“Also, I only left the research team after completing all my work, so it didn’t affect any of you.” Brother Ye’s voice gradually calmed down at the end.

He retracted his gaze and sat back down on the chair before continuing to click on the documents.

He didn’t intend on telling her about this plan at the beginning, but she had completely provoked him today.

He didn’t believe she didn’t know how important academic reputation was.

Since she had said such things in front of everyone today, she shouldn’t blame him for ignoring their senior-junior relationship.

Seeing their fallout and hearing Brother Ye’s explanation, the group of smart people almost immediately figured out what happened.

Zuo Qiurong had looked down on the new little junior and torn her registration form, but this little junior had still dutifully written a plan for Brother Ye…

The professors frowned at Zuo Qiurong and then looked away.

They continued talking to Scholar Liao and waited for his phone call.

On the other side, Zuo Qiurong was still rooted to the ground. She finally reached out with trembling hands and opened the plan that Brother Ye had handed her—

Qin Ran had already completed the full level in the Automation Department and naturally wrote a very desirable plan. It was much longer than the plans Brother Ye and Zuo Qiurong wrote but was not shooting in the dark.

The value of her report that Brother Ye had noticed within a glance was naturally seen by Zuo Qiurong as well.

She turned another page with trembling hands.

With only one of her arguments, Brother Ye had managed to turn Zuo Qiurong’s team into the most outstanding one among the last three candidates. What if… their entire team had followed her plans?

Zuo Qiurong collapsed onto a chair nearby, her eyes staring blankly at the plan.

Domestic news had revealed through interviews that Qin Ran had only taken less than half a year to directly refresh ICNE’s history of average ages, bringing along three newbies and a half-hearted person who only entered the ICNE in the last two months.

She even completed the ICNE projects in such a short time.

Qin Ran was now famous in the physics world. If she had been there, their aviation propellers would also have gotten the achievement of a refreshed history of average age. Most importantly, the presence of Qin Ran was the biggest shock and the biggest certainty for her research project…

At the thought of this, Zuo Qiurong finally knew what she had torn off.

Unfortunately, time couldn’t be turned back, and it wouldn’t help to be filled with regrets.

**

This incident with Zuo Qiurong was just an episode.

Qin Ran wasn’t bothered.

While listening to Zhou Ying and the others, she picked up her phone to see Principal Xu’s response.

It was 1st March, at 10 am, at the Xu family’s house.

Principal Xu originally planned to hold the heir ceremony in mid-March, but Qin Ran’s performance had exceeded his expectations. Now, this kind of contribution was enough to gain a foothold in the physics world. He couldn’t wait any longer—

His planning for Qin Ran’s successor in March had begun half a year ago, and he had already prepared the trivial processes.

1st March seemed a little rushed in the eyes of the other Xu family members, but it wasn’t so for Principal Xu.

[Give me the name list. I’ll write an invitation and send it to you tonight. Have you notified the Research Institute?]

Qin Ran replied “No” and then continued listening to President Jiang and Zhou Ying’s conversation.

“Student Qin Ran, actually, Director Fang sent someone to ask me if you have a teacher in the laboratory.” Dean Jiang leaned on the table with joyful eyes. “In fact, it wasn’t just him. Many people in the Research Institute couldn’t contact you and came to ask me. Before entering the Research Institute, it’s best to find a teacher. Your Brother Song already paid an apprenticeship to a special researcher.

“You have unlimited potential, so it won’t be difficult to get a place in Continent M’s Physics Research Institute in the future. Including those old guys in the physics world, there must be many who want to accept you as their disciple and are contacting you. You must weigh your options carefully.”

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but look at her.

When he found out she was assigned to Scholar Liao’s laboratory, he thought about the possibility of Scholar Liao accepting her as his disciple and thought it was impossible…

But after half a year, let alone Scholar Liao, even the most advanced-level researcher in China’s Research Institute, Fang Zhenbo, had come to ask about Qin Ran’s teacher.

The Research Institute and the Xu family had their own sections.

A fight would surely ensue.

With her current achievements, given a few more years, she would fully grow into another legendary Mi Luo in ICNE. Not only was it a proud thing to have such an apprentice, but it was the teacher’s strongest backing too!

Qin Ran hesitated and tilted her head. “I already have a teacher.”

“Who is it?” Taken aback, Dean Jiang frowned. “Did you get lied to?”

Qin Ran was about to reply to him.

Not far away, Scholar Liao’s long-awaited phone call finally came.

Dean Jiang immediately got up, and all of the doctoral professors chatting sporadically also turned to look in Scholar Liao’s direction.

They stared intently at him.

Scholar Liao looked down. “It’s the person-in-charge of the Research Institute.”

He directly answered the phone.

The person on the other end reported the results.

After about a minute and a half, Scholar Liao hung up with a slight nod.

“How was it, Scholar Liao?”

“What level?”

Seeing that he was silent, they all leaned over.

They all knew that Qin Ran had no problem entering the Research Institute, and only wanted to know which level she had been assigned to.

“Scholar Liao, why are you quiet…” Zhou Ying leaned over.

Without saying anything, Scholar Liao just reached out to turn on the computer. After typing for 30 seconds, he handed the report to him.

Zhou Ying looked down at it.

Everyone quickly gathered around.

Good news was written on it.

Ye Mingqiao: Formal researcher at the third level.

Qin Ran: Formal researcher at the deputy second level.
