Chapter 385: Special Researcher

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone else in the studio also put down their things at hand to gather around.

The manager cut open the outer packaging.

Glancing at the expectant faces, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “It’s just an ordinary computer, what else can it be? Don’t overthink it.”

The packaging was simple and casual.

The black laptop peeked out the moment he opened it.

The top layer was very thin.

The manager’s casual attitude paused, and he picked it up to look at the very light and thin computer. The front and back were pure black, and its appearance alone was top-notch in the computer world.

“It’s so pretty!” A few young girls in the studio who only looked at appearances hurriedly exclaimed.

The men urged the manager to quickly turn it on to try the functions.

After sweeping the trash on the table aside, he placed the computer down, opened it, and it started by itself. A white 100-point progress bar flashed on the black screen.

The progress bar reached 100% in less than 3 seconds.

A mechanic robot voice sounded—

[Please perform pupil verification.]

The manager stared at it sluggishly for about a minute.

The machine sound repeated—

[Please perform pupil verification.]

Returning to his senses, he directly stared into the computer camera under everyone’s watchful gazes—

[Verification successful!]

The computer automatically returned to the main page.

“Pupil verification? It’s so fast.” The manager’s eyes lit up. The computer’s response speed wasn’t slower than Qin Ling’s at all and even looked better.

The homepage was very clean, with only one application painted in the shape of a maple leaf. An international general search engine unique to the Yunguang Consortium was also there.

The man in the office pointed to the application market and exclaimed, “The maple leaf APP covers all the applications in the world. There are only those you don’t know about, but none that you can’t find! But other electronic products don’t have this application market.”

The girls stared at the international general search engine and were also excited. “I don’t have to cross the firewall to watch foreign gossip…”

The manager was over 30 years old and didn’t know much about the market application nor the general search engines.

But looking at how excited the others were, he guessed that it must be very useful.

“Brother, I have one software that I can’t download.” A young man eagerly looked at him. “Let’s see if your computer can download it. If it’s possible, can you copy it to my phone?”

The manager was speechless.

A little confused, he still took a step back and let the youngsters do it themselves.

As if they had discovered a novelty, the youngsters swarmed up around the computer.

“F*ck, it also has Continent M’s large-scale horror side tour?”

“Wait, download my international platform dating software first!”

[How could you shamelessly cut the line? Let’s fight to the death in the arena tonight!”

“My…”

The manager had originally prepared a cup of coffee for each of them for their overtime work to prepare for the show’s release on Saturday. But at this moment, they didn’t need it at all. As if they had been injected by adrenaline, they kept coming to him to see if their software could be downloaded.

The coffee machine was basically unattended.

They came to and fro as the manager took his coffee and went to sit opposite Qin Xiuchen. Watching this scene, the usually talkative manager was suddenly speechless.

Last time he heard Qin Ran say that the computer she gave Qin Ling was out of print, and he had no plans of buying another computer. He wasn’t interested in a computer that only cost 2,000 yuan, but he didn’t want to dash the little girl’s good intentions and had just casually transferred the money to Qin Xiuchen.

2,000 yuan wasn’t big money for him. He only wanted to make Film Emperor Qin’s niece happy and had no expectations.

But who knew…

Drinking a sip of coffee, he finally returned to his senses after a long time and faintly glanced at Film Emperor Qin. “2,000 yuan… it seems insufficient?”

Instead of reading the script, Film Emperor Qin put it aside and watched the crowd in the studio. He leaned on the sofa and pondered. “Just use it.”

The manager nodded. “I don’t really dare to…”

Qin Ling sat at the side and blankly glanced at him.

“It’s probably a thank you gift.” Film Emperor Qin picked up the script again and looked down.

The manager had done many things during the month of shooting in City C.

Upon hearing this, he also remembered how hard he had worked, and nodded. He didn’t expect Qin Ran to remember this, and his affection for Big Boss Qin rose by several inches. “Then, why don’t you have one?”

Speaking of care, Film Emperor Qin was much more meticulous in his care for Qin Ling.

Film Emperor Qin raised his chin, flipping the script with his white fingertips. He pointed at him, coughed, and then lightly said, “How could you compare to me?”

The manager was speechless.

Yeah, they were a family. They weren’t comparable…

Thursday.

After the class ended, Qin Ran pulled up her navy blue scarf, covering the part below her nose, showing only her pair of dark and clear eyes. She looked rigorous and indifferent, and the fluff scarf helped tone down the willfulness in her eyes.

Tall and thin, the coat hugged her figure, and her legs stood straight and long. Everyone would turn back to give her another look.

In the past two days, she had gained more fans at Beijing University, directly surpassing Song Luting, who had gone to the research institute last month.

Sometimes, people recognized her back on the road.

Qin Ran pulled her scarf expressionlessly, thinking that Film Emperor Qin’s bucket coat was pretty good, and maybe she should customize one.

In Dean Jiang’s office.

When Qin Ran came in, Dean Jiang put down the things at hand and took out a Physics laboratory access card from the drawer. Qin Ran’s electronic portrait was printed on the back.

“This is your access card. It can be used as a school card as well and has higher authority. It can be used in both Beijing University and University A.” He handed the card to her and went to personally pour a cup of tea for her, giving her a warm welcome. “Sit.”

Qin Ran took the card and sat down.

She received the pure white disposable cup and politely thanked him.

She glanced down at the card.

On the front was a picture of the Physics laboratory, with the words “Physics Laboratory” written on the top in bold letters.

Dean Jiang sat on the office chair with his thermos cup and asked gently and elegantly, “The random assignment results of the Physics Department have been released. Who are you with?”

Entering the laboratory was very important for new students.

The Physics laboratory had researchers from levels 1 to 4.

The level 1 researchers held a special researcher position at the research institute and were also called special researchers. They were basically first-class talents in the industry who had made major creative contributions at the academician level to deserve this reputation.

1

The level 2 researchers were mainly those who had written a series of research SCI papers that had been cited more than 500 times, whose new research results were recognized by the domestic and foreign scientific communities.

Levels 3 and 4 didn’t have as strict requirements. After reaching industry recognition in their academics, they would take at least 3 to 6 years to survive in the institute.

The top talents of China were gathered in the research institute.

The higher the level of research, the more exposure to different researches and perspectives.

Pinching the disposable cup with distinct bony fingers, Qin Ran said, “Scholar Liao. His profile says he’s a special researcher.”

As the Dean of the Physics Department, Dean Jiang was more familiar with the big bosses in the Physics world than ordinary people.

There were only so many special researchers in the research institute. Upon hearing this, he paused. “You’re talking about Scholar Liao Gaoang?”

Qin Ran took a sip of hot tea. The steam rose, making her face a little hazy.

She calmly replied, “I think so.”

“Your luck…” Dean Jiang laughed. “Scholar Liao is one of the five special researchers of the institute. You’re too lucky to have gotten him. Follow him well and be more proactive.”

After exchanging a few words, Qin Ran checked the time. Cheng Juan was probably downstairs, so she bid farewell to Dean Jiang.

Dean Jiang smiled and sent her to the door.

After she left, he stared at her back and muttered to himself, “She’s our Freshman King for sure. She can even meet the special researcher that almost no freshman students can meet.”

The assistant stood beside him, paying homage to the Study God’s back.

“If Scholar Liao accepts Qin Ran as a disciple, then her path will be even more magnanimous than that of Song Luting.” Dean Jiang suddenly sighed. “But it’s not easy for a special researcher to accept a disciple.”

2

Special researchers themselves were research madmen. Standing at the top of their professional fields, they were geniuses among geniuses. The five special researchers had strange tempers and rarely brought students along, let alone accept them as a disciple.

Dean Jiang only casually said that. He didn’t really think that Scholar Liao would accept Qin Ran as his apprentice.
