Chapter 380: Foul Mood
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The person paused, and then faintly said, “Oh, she unexpectedly got the first full score of 300 in history.”
Cheng Wenru was speechless.
She was stunned.
Old Master Cheng intently stared at her, putting down his teacup and asking in a deep voice, “Did she pass?”
Cheng Wenru’s expression didn’t seem joyous but a little surprised.
Old Master Cheng closed his eyes and grumbled. “She didn’t pass?”
He frowned involuntarily and took out his phone to call Zhou Shan.
After hanging up, Cheng Wenru reached out to hold Old Master Cheng’s hands, preventing him from dialing Zhou Shan’s phone. Her eyelashes trembled, and she quietly said, “Ran Ran passed.”
Her tense heart instantly plummeted.
Glancing briefly at her, Old Master Cheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and calmed his mood. He slightly lifted his chin. “What’s with your expression? You scared me. I already said, how could Ran Ran not pass? I already taught you several times, as the Cheng family’s Young Lady, you have to keep your composure outside.”
Cheng Wenru indeed couldn’t maintain her composure at this moment.
“No...” Shaking her head, she pursed her lips and glanced at Qin Ran as if she was abnormal. Disregarding Old Master Cheng, her tone was almost broken. “Tell me, how did you score 300 points in the perverted laboratory assessment??!”
“Cough—”
Old Master Cheng almost choked on his tea.
Cheng Wenru faintly glanced at him. “Dad, stay composed.”
She had taken the laboratory assessment before.
Although she was from the Medicine Department, the difficulty of the assessment for the several major research institutes were generally the same.
Cheng Wenru remembered that she had scored 168 and had ranked 71st place in the assessment, failing the written exam.
Only then did she realize that she couldn’t enter the research institute without relying on her family...
At the same time, she also understood the difficulty of the test, and how those who passed with scores above 270 points were Gods.
But Qin Ran had scored 300 points...
Qin Ran was still playing games and had yet to pass the level. When Cheng Wenru asked her a question, she looked up, thought for a while, and solemnly replied, “Erm... I just took it seriously?”
Cheng Wenru was speechless.
She stared hard at her, trying to figure out if she was joking.
Sister, which exam have you not seriously taken before?
If she had asked Cheng Mu, he would definitely tell her about Qin Ran’s operation in Yun Cheng.
Cheng Wenru now felt like if she hung out too much with Qin Ran, she might mistake herself as a fool.

Since Qin Ran had a Physics experiment tomorrow, both Old Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru urged her to take a bath and rest early.
Cheng Wenru heaved a sigh of relief when she went upstairs.
“How has Ran Ran prepared for the experiment?” In the cold weather, Old Master Cheng let Cheng Mu pour him a cup of herbal tea. He slowly drank it, glancing sideways at Cheng Juan, who was leaning back sloppily in his chair.
Cheng Juan kept his phone, stuck his slender fingers into the pillow, and looked up. “It should be okay.”
“Then, she’ll be able to enter.” Old Master Cheng trusted him.
After receiving the news that Qin Ran had passed the assessment, they didn’t stay long.
Hanging his black cashmere scarf around his neck, Old Master Cheng suddenly remembered what Cheng Juan asked him last time. “You asked me if my heart is good... because of this?”
If that was the case, he could understand. He was a little surprised.
He hadn’t felt that way when he saw Qin Ran’s college entrance examination results in Yun Cheng.
The phone in Cheng Juan’s hand lit up, and he glanced at it. It was Qin Ling, so he quickly unlocked his phone.
Sending Old Master Cheng out, he calmly said, “Of course not.”
“No?” Old Master Cheng glanced at him, wondering what else could make his heart suffer.
But instead of replying to his question, Cheng Juan just leaned on the door and walked as Old Master Cheng left.
When they got on the elevator, he turned back and opened Qin Ling’s message—
[Has my sister finished her exam?]
Qin Ling couldn’t find a suitable teacher in Beijing and was more leisurely than Qin Ran, so he didn’t want to disturb her and asked about her through Cheng Juan.
Walking upstairs, Cheng Juan slowly replied to him—
[She finished one exam and has another one tomorrow.]
In Yunjin District.
Qin Ling received the news and told Qin Hanqiu beside him, “Sister did well in the exam.”
Butler Qin was sitting on the other side, talking to Ah Hai about engineering.
He didn’t ask much about Qin Ran’s exam.
Nodding, Qin Hanqiu’s dark eyes lit up. “Butler Qin gave me a bank card today, saying that it’s my share after many years. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the mall to buy a gift for your sister.”
Having said that, he remembered how he had basically only bought gifts for Qin Yu all these years...
He felt a little uncomfortable.
When Butler Qin gave him the bank card, he only wanted to buy stuff for Qin Ran.
“Oh.” Qin Ling turned on the computer and started playing games. “Sister will like it.”
Thinking of this, Qin Hanqiu went online to search what kind of gifts girls liked.

The next day.
The Physics experiment in the laboratory.
Yesterday, Qin Ran and Cheng Wenru didn’t know that Qin Ran was taking the Physics laboratory assessment. But since they knew it now, Cheng Wenru had taken a temporary leave from the company and came over early in the morning to send her to the laboratory with Cheng Juan.
Through the rearview mirror, Cheng Juan glanced at the two sitting in the back seat.
He very coldly stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of the Physics laboratory.
Compared with yesterday, Qin Ran’s exam was more of a big deal.
Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng surrounded her from left to right, asking her solicitously about her well-being.
His arms crossed and his eyes drooped, Cheng Juan coldly followed them, holding a thermos in one hand.
When Qin Ran was about to go in, he took a step forward and handed her the cup. Lowering his voice, he said with lazy tenderness, “Do well.”
Behind him, Cheng Wenru watched as she entered, then hugged the coat around her and straightened her back. “The experiment seems to be hierarchical, right?”
She hadn’t entered the experiment assessment back then and didn’t know the process.
“Yes, six quartiles.” Cheng Juan stared at Qin Ran’s disappearing back. He took the car key, but instead of going back, just casually took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Turning sideways, Cheng Wenru glanced at him. “Are you going to wait for the result inside?”
Cheng Juan’s eyebrows drooped, and he casually smiled. “Yeah.”
The Physics laboratory had access control, but that was nothing to him.

The experiment was held in the Physics laboratory.
But it wasn’t on the first floor today.
It was on the ground floor.
Qin Ran took the elevator door and arrived with a “ding.”
Screech—
The professors, staff, and students standing on the ground floor all involuntarily turned to stare in her direction.
The people present here had been halved.
All 49 people were present. 48 boys and 1 girl. Only Qin Ran was left.
Everyone knew that she was the person who took 1st place last night, Qin Ran.
The people in the hall were divided into two clearly distinguished camps, Beijing University and University A.
Some students from other schools didn’t belong to either branch. But if they entered the laboratory in the future, these scattered students would be assimilated by the four major families or the two universities.
No matter which college it was, everyone whispered amongst themselves about Qin Ran.
Qin Ran pulled a beige scarf to cover her exquisite snow-white chin. Glancing around, she directly found Dean Jiang and the group of Beijing University students among the crowd and walked towards them.
Dean Jiang and the seniors of Beijing University were waiting for her. They immediately waved when they saw her coming.
There was a commotion.
Opposite stood the group of people from University A.
Xu Wanchen glanced over solemnly. “That’s her?”
Dean Ge nodded.
Behind, someone from University A finally said, “Today’s experiment is the focus, right? What are they making such a big commotion about?”
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
After Qin Ran took 1st place yesterday, the senior students of University A had felt very embarrassed. It was still acceptable if she had received training like Song Luting, but she hadn’t.
Everyone in University A, including Xu Wanchen, had made up their minds to do well in today’s experiment. They would use 100% of their fighting strength and make up for their foul mood from yesterday.
Compared to University A, Dean Jiang and the others weren’t as utilitarian as before.
Dean Jiang and Zhou Ying thought that as long as Qin Ran could pass the experiment this time, being selected by the laboratory was their greatest expectation. As for surpassing University A to get the 1st place in the total experimental score and winning resources for Beijing University, it was another matter...
Dean Jiang didn’t even expect such a difficult feat.
It was exactly 8 am.
The experiment began.
More than 50 students scattered into the hallway.
Dean Jiang stared at Qin Ran’s back. “Dr. Zhou, do you think Qin Ran will perform a C-level experiment?”
