412 I Have a Project, ICNE Finals

In the laboratory.

After typing the last data, Qin Ran turned sideways and said with slightly drooping eyelashes, “Brother Ye.”

Taking the data from her, he glanced at her and couldn’t help but say, “Little Junior, I’ll find you another project again…”

Before she could reply to him, Scholar Liao looked up from his busy work and said in a cold voice, “Your project members have been finalized?”

Brother Ye pursed his lips and nodded, about to give the rhetoric speech he prepared.

Zuo Qiurong, who came in to get equipment, politely said, “Sorry, but our other two teammates don’t agree to have another newcomer.”

In order to appease Zuo Qiurong and get her to return, the other two teammates had specially called her in the afternoon to comfort her.

Scholar Liao remained silent, while Brother Ye showed his joy. “That’s great.”

Zuo Qiurong leaned slightly on the table, staring at Qin Ran, pursing her lips in curiosity. “I didn’t expect Junior to have a project as well. As far as I know, there aren’t many projects at Beijing University now. Which project did you participate in?”

Zipping her backpack up, Qin Ran looked up at her and unhurriedly said, “ICNE Finals.”

Without waiting for her reaction, she politely greeted Liao Gaoang and Brother Ye, then directly left with her backpack.

ICNE, the highest project award for students still studying in the Physics palace.

Writing 10 SCI papers with an impact factor greater than 25 wasn’t as good as a medal from an ICNE Finals.

Freshmen in the Physics Department might not know what this competition was, but it was a research project that every graduate student desperately wanted to join.

Even Brother Ye was stunned for a long time before he finally let out a sigh, laughed, and felt immediately relieved. “No wonder when I told her in the afternoon that she couldn’t join, she remained calm. It turned out she has her own project already, the ICNE Finals. Little junior is pretty impressive… It doesn’t matter even if she doesn’t win an award. Fortunately, I didn’t invite her to our research project. Otherwise, I might hinder her instead.”

Just participating in this final was the dream project of the world’s top Physics graduate students.

Qin Ran was unaware of Zuo Qiurong’s thoughts as she left the laboratory.

Towards the end of December, Beijing had seen its first snow.

The snowflakes weren’t particularly dense and fell rather slowly. The snowflakes were rather big and melted when they hit the ground.

Cheng Juan was standing under the streetlamp, looking down at the time on his watch.

His figure was slender, and a few snowflakes had landed on his body and head.

It brought a warm tone in the coldness under the illumination of the street lights.

He reached out to brush the snowflakes off his shoulder but paused when he saw her.

When Qin Ran walked over, he reached out to bring her into his embrace. Putting his cold hand around her neck, he released it after a second and smiled. “Are you cold?”

She casually took it out and played with it against the light. “It’s not as heavy as it seems.”

She indifferently commented as a layman.

Beside her, Cheng Wenru retracted her gaze and stared at her in shock. “Your friend send you this?”

“My brother?” Qin Ran squinted and replied to her.
