Cheng Juan wasn't the least bit interested in their family matters. He simply went "mm".

"We can talk more about it when I'm back." Cheng Juan opened the door.
Tang Jun looked at the time. His sister's son was going to be here soon, it was about time he ended the call with him too.
His subordinates were standing around him.
The moment he put his cell phone back on the table, the door opened.
Madam Lu, Qin Hanqiu, and Butler Qin came in.
"Mr. Qin, here." Madam Lu made way for Qin Hanqiu to enter first.
Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin walked in together. Ever since Qin Ling got in trouble, Qin Hanqiu realized that he couldn't go on depending on Qin Ling for everything while bumbling about life himself.

If he had been a little more vigilant or careful, if he had gone out with Qin Ling that day... perhaps Qin Ling wouldn't be in this state now.
"Old Master Tang." Madam Lu introduced Tang Jun to Qin Hanqiu while they were making their way in. Qin Hanqiu bowed slightly as a form of greeting and respect.
He appeared serious. Qin Hanqiu had been learning about the management system from Butler Qin and had given up on the hard labor on the construction sites. Qin Hanqiu's rate of learning exceeded Butler Qin's expectations.
Tang Jun quickly stood up while supporting himself on the table. The calmness he tried to maintain while on the phone with Cheng Juan completely vanished. His eyes went red as he looked at Qin Hanqiu. "Good... very good..."
"This is your mom." Tang Jun took a photo out of his pocket, which he had kept in the best condition possible. He looked at it for a moment before handing it to Qin Hanqiu. "She's very smart, and also..."
Tang Jun couldn't bring himself to go on.
It was their first time meeting, but their kinship was real and undeniable. This was the first time Qin Hanqiu received such treatment from an elder. He wasn't used to it and felt a little awkward, but he took a look at the photo anyway.
"I finally have the guts to meet my ancestors in the netherworld." Tang Jun patted him on the shoulder. "Child, it's been so many years. It's been tough on you. Do you want to follow me overseas and live a life abroad?"
They were getting less distant from each other already.
Upon hearing what he said, Qin Hanqiu looked up. "Overseas?"
"In Continent M. I believe you'd like it there." Tang Jun smiled.
Qin Hanqiu had heard of Continent M. In fact, Qin Xiuchen was filming there now, and Teacher Ku Ke was a local.
Although he'd heard of Continent M before, Qin Hanqiu didn't really know much about it.
Butler Qin was a little shocked.
He hadn't expected that the Matriarch's background was so extraordinary. She wasn't just an ordinary online friend of Old Master's...

"That's where I live." Both of them sat at the table, and Tang Jun went on patiently, "Don't worry, nobody there will dare to bully you."
Live in Continent M?
Qin Hanqiu declined it right away. "My son and daughter would prefer staying put."
Although Tang Jun already expected that Qin Hanqiu wouldn't be comfortable moving to Continent M with him, he still felt disappointed by his response. He tried to calm himself down with some tea before saying, "Would there be a chance then, that you could bring my grandniece and grandnephew to visit me in Continent M for a while?"
Tang Jun was sincere about it.
Qin Hanqiu couldn't bear to reject him. After some hesitation, he nodded.
Tang Jun was delighted. "Where are they?"
"Xiao Ling just got discharged. When he's better, I'll take him to visit you," Qin Hanqiu replied seriously. "Ran Ran... is overseas now. She's very busy with her research work... I'll talk to her about it when she's back."
Qin Hanqiu actually wasn't sure whether Qin Ran would be willing to meet Tang Jun.
She had always had a mind of her own, so Qin Hanqiu wouldn't decide for her.
Of course, Tang Jun knew that Qin Ran was busy. Moreover, she was busy with something that he couldn't find any information about.
But he didn't want to say so much right now.
They spoke for a good part of the afternoon, with Tang Jun doing most of the talking as he filled Qin Hanqiu in about the Matriarch.
It was already four in the afternoon when they parted.
Tang Jun went back to his temporary accommodation.
The middle-aged man beside him said, "President, Young Master. Miss and a few other people you specified have already arrived in Continent M. Do you think it's time to begin?"
The middle-aged man was referring to the Hacker Alliance matters.
The Hacker Alliance was not as large-scale and systematic as Matthew's group, but it was still a serious and established organization.
The members of the Alliance were all leading figures in the hacking field.
It wasn't easy to find someone to take over the Hacker Alliance, especially since they would have to earn the respect and get the approval of the senior members.
Besides Fa Qi and Lu Zhixin, nobody else knew his actual identity.
Lu Zhixin was very good with computers, but he was an internationally renowned programmer and was putting his time and energy into programming only. He wasn't suitable to take the role of President.
That was why Tang Jun had to spread his net and pick a group of fairly gifted young people to groom.
"Elder Li." Tang Jun sat on the couch but did not answer his question. "Tell me, what do you think of Hanqiu?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head as a gesture to decline to answer.
Tang Jun sighed lightly. "I got it."
"President, you told him right away that you were Continent M's..." Elder Li furrowed his brows as he recalled Butler Qin's expression.
Tang Jun stood up and paced about the room with his hands behind his back. "It's alright. We're all family, I'm more than willing to help my nephew out if he asks anything of me. I'll only be returning to Continent M after seeing my grandnephew."
After he went up, Elder Li thought for a bit and figured out Tang Jun's intentions. He took his cell phone out and messaged those in Continent M: President wants to stay behind to meet his grandnephew.
Elder Li, who was in Continent M, looked towards the subordinates as he received the message. "We'll put the grooming program on hold for now. We have to wait till President sees his grandnephew."
"Is this grandnephew that important?" Someone raised a brow.
He actually put such major business on hold.

On Cheng Juan's side.
Cheng Wenru was still downstairs, holding a glass of warm water. She had just come to Continent M, and although they all turned out safe, she was still startled.
After all... the other party was Matthew...
She was just thinking about it when her cell phone vibrated in her pocket.
Cheng Wenru took it out and had a look.
It was 129's reply.
