Chapter 241: Sister Ran: I’m Really Just Playing

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Even if Tang Qing won a competition against the last place, she wouldn’t feel good either.

Before this, Tang Qing had already inquired about it with other people. If newcomers could challenge the top 100 members, they could enter the law enforcement hall. The others would be randomly sent to either the procurement hall or the foreign trade hall.

Among them, the law enforcement hall had the best welfare and the greatest strength. They even received guidance from Cheng Shui frequently.

However, in the information hall, as long as their computer skills were good, there was no such requirement for the challenge stage.

Tang Qing didn’t expect Qin Ran to be ranked last.

Although a little disappointed, she had no intention of changing her plans.

“Mr. Cheng Shui, I’ve decided.” She turned towards Cheng Shui.

He nodded. “Who is it?”

Tang Qing laughed and said, “421.”

When Cheng Juan had asked Cheng Shui to put Qin Ran’s name on the list, Cheng Shui had thought hard about it. Logically, she would be ranked first, but if so, many people would surely want to challenge her.

Those people would be curious to know her strength and some would want to know if she deserved first place…

There were a lot of rumors about Qin Ran in the manor. If she ranked first, many people would have their eyes on her.

Hence, after careful consideration, Cheng Shui had put her name on the last place.

The rankings above were indeed ranked according to strength. Generally, the newly recruited challengers would choose from around the two or three hundredth place. No one would challenge the last place.

Although the people in the manor knew that Qin Ran might not be weak, after seeing her name in the last place, they would discern that Cheng Shui didn’t want them to challenge her and would hence not choose her.

It was precisely because of this belief that Cheng Shui had put her name on the last place.

421. Cheng Shui remembered it clearly.

However, he didn’t expect that Tang Qing, who was the first to play, would snatch the grand prize and challenge Qin Ran by name?

Narrowing his eyes, Cheng Shui turned to look at Tang Qing. “Are you sure you want to challenge 421? If you are a newcomer, it’s best to challenge someone from the 200th to 300th place.”

Cheng Shui had also heard of Tang Qing’s punching power of more than 700.

Hence, he gave her a suggestion.

However, to Tang Qing, it sounded like Cheng Shui was inexplicably protecting Qin Ran.

She had already felt jealous of Qin Ran because of her uncle and the information hall’s incident, but now, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Glancing over at Qin Ran, who was wearing headphones and playing games, Tang Qing lowered her eyebrows and pretended to say innocently, “Yes, Mr. Cheng Shui. Isn’t it possible? Is there a rule that I can’t challenge the last place?”

Although she knew Qin Ran was ranked last and didn’t have high strength, Tang Qing still wanted to drag her off the altar.

2

Cheng Shui took a deep look at Tang Qing. He was about to remind her again, but after hearing Tang Qing’s words, he swallowed his words and nodded instead. “It’s possible.”

“Really?” Tang Qing originally thought Cheng Shui would give a rule saying that the last few rankings couldn’t be challenged, but unexpectedly, Cheng Shui suddenly agreed, so she was a little surprised.

Some people doubted if Cheng Shui was also on her side?

Actually, Tang Qing had already felt that Cheng Huo highly regarded her, but it seemed like everyone had started neglecting her recently.

2

Now, Cheng Shui’s attitude inevitably made Tang Qing’s thoughts wander…

“Yes, test your boxing strength first,” Cheng Shui looked away and said directly. “Get ready, you’ll be evaluated in five minutes.”

“Okay.” Tang Qing walked over to the boxing machine.

At the same time, Luo Dui and the others sitting in the audience looked at Tang Qing’s slightly arrogant face and were speechless…

She was still somewhat proud, could she be thinking that Cheng Shui was helping her?

Of course, Cheng Shui had kindly reminded her at first, but then he had finalized the competition…

A few people remembered the barbecue incident from that day and could predict what kind of one-sided situation it would be when they battled later…

2

After asking Tang Qing to test her punching strength, he went to inform Qin Ran and Cheng Juan about the battle.

He glanced at Cheng Juan first. “Boss, how should we deal with this?”

Slowly picking up a cup of hot tea with an unchanged expression, Cheng Juan said lightly, “We’ll follow the normal procedure.”

Cheng Shui had already expected this reply from Cheng Juan and wasn’t surprised. After all, he had been the one to ask Miss Qin to play…

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Qin Ran.

She was playing a game, wearing her headphones, and leaning down. Her down jacket hat with furry edges was buckled on her head.

Gu Xichi and Jiang Dongye called her. “Xiao Ran, stop playing games, someone wants to challenge you!”

1

The sound in her headphones was very loud and Gu Xichi had to call several times before she reacted.

Qin Ran was originally annoyed, but after hearing Gu Xichi, she asked in shock, “What did you say? Someone wants to challenge me?”

Cheng Shui dared to bet that he saw her eyes light up.

2

He was speechless.

1

The game wasn’t over yet.

But Qin Ran seemed to have found something more interesting and immediately took off her headset. She handed her phone to Cheng Juan and then went to Gu Xichi and Cheng Shui.

“Yes, Miss Qin. Tang Qing challenged you,” Cheng Shui walked behind her and replied respectfully.

He glanced at Cheng Juan out of the corner of his eye again. His boss was playing the game instead…

1

“Oh.” Qin Ran nodded. She glanced at Tang Qing on the field. She was testing her boxing strength at the moment.

The 421 names projected on the large screen had disappeared and the screen was now showing the scene of the boxing machine.

Beside Gu Xichi, Jiang Dongye propped his legs up and laughed. “Don’t worry, she’s a woman too. It shouldn’t be a big deal…”

Before he finished speaking, Tang Qing’s score appeared on the big screen.

769.

Jiang Dongye was speechless.

After yesterday’s explanation by Shi Liming and Cheng Mu, Jiang Dongye had understood that boxing was a representation of strength.

“Just don’t challenge her, that woman’s boxing score is 769,” Jiang Dongye whispered involuntarily. “Is she a macho?!”

Jiang Dongye himself had also been specially trained and his strength was considered one of the best in Beijing.

Even so, he had only scored around 650 yesterday.

Since this woman scored a hundred more points than him, he was naturally anxious for Qin Ran.

1

His expression turned grave as he stared at her. “You’re not even a member of this manor, can’t Master Juan just cancel this challenge?”

Gu Xichi didn’t quite understand the difference between ordinary people and someone who scored 769.

But he touched his chin and glanced at Qin Ran. “Can you do it?”

Qin Ran was taking off her coat when she heard this. She raised an eyebrow and replied, “Of course.”

Then, she walked in the direction of the ring.

Jiang Dongye stared at Qin Ran, then turned to Gu Xichi in worry. “She scored hundred-plus points higher than me. Even I can’t beat her. Will something happen to her?”

Gu Xichi glanced at Cheng Juan, who was still playing the game casually. Opposite, Cheng Mu and Cheng Huo were also very calm. He thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I don’t think so.”

Jiang Dongye stared at Qin Ran’s thin body and was somewhat skeptical. “Really…?”

**

At the center of the ring.

Qin Ran stopped there. With a relaxed and amused expression, she tilted her head slightly and massaged her wrists.

She didn’t look in the least bit tense.

From the edge of the ring where the boxing machine was, Tang Qing walked over to the middle but stopped a few meters away.

She was nearly 1.8 meters tall and her bones were also much broader than the average Chinese. Her aura was imposing, like an international model.

1

This kind of person stood out among ordinary people.

But she would definitely suffer against Qin Ran.

While checking her boxing strength, Tang Qing had also paid attention to Cheng Shui and the others. She saw Cheng Shui talking to Qin Ran and Cheng Juan and also noticed the nervous expressions of the two people beside her.

Grinning maliciously, she picked up a wooden stick. It was a common weapon in the manor, and except for a few people who had reached the bottleneck period, most people in the 700 to 800 boxing score range liked to use it as a weapon.

The referee was from the law enforcement hall.

He glanced at Tang Qing. “Tang Qing, are you ready?”

Holding the stick, she licked her lips and glanced at Qin Ran. “Of course.”

Her hands shook slightly in excitement.

The referee turned to Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, do you need a weapon?”

She took off her down jacket and then tossed it aside, her voice light and calm. “No, I’m just playing.”

The referee was speechless.

“Referee, aren’t we starting?”

Tang Qing stood two meters away from Qin Ran and sounded evidently impatient.

She particularly disliked Qin Ran’s tone.

She would let Qin Ran know that she wouldn’t have people supporting her limitlessly everywhere!

Certain levels of strength were required for certain positions.

1

The referee frowned at Tang Qing and took a few steps back. “Start!”

As soon as the referee dropped the word, Tang Qing waved the stick in her hand fiercely and flew it straight at Qin Ran’s face!
