Chapter 104 Her attempt to mock Jiang Ranxing backfired and she was slapped in the face.
However, what Lin Xuesha didn't know was that when Jiang Ranxing heard Fu Shenyuan's name, she no longer felt that rush of blood to her head like before.
I no longer have so many emotions in my heart.
You could say he's gotten used to it, but more than that, Jiang Ranxing doesn't really care anymore.
Naturally, if you don't care, you won't be so easily swayed by emotions.
Right now, she and Fu Shenyuan are only legally bound by a marriage certificate.
When they have another divorce certificate, they will be completely cut off from each other.
As for her feelings for Fu Shenyuan, they had long been exhausted. If her heart was a container, then there was no longer any room for Fu Shenyuan inside.
Whether Fu Shenyuan comes or not, she doesn't care.
As Lin Xuesha was plotting how to teach Jiang Ranxing a lesson, she suddenly remembered something.
"Shi Heng, how come you and Ran Xing are together? Could it be that you two are in that kind of relationship?"
Lin Xuesha's words were ambiguous, and everyone present could understand them.
She said that to embarrass Jiang Ranxing.
Ji Shiheng suddenly laughed, spread his arms and leaned back on Jiang Ranxing's chair, his posture relaxed and elegant, looking every bit the dashing young master of a wealthy family.
"Xue Sha, can you stop assuming people are like you and Shen Yuan? I have no interest in sleeping with other people's wives. Do I look like I'm lacking women?"
Ji Shiheng's words were so direct that Lin Xuesha's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Sleeping with someone else's wife is the same as sleeping with someone else's husband. Is Ji Shiheng being sarcastic towards her?
Lin Xuesha's eyes held a hint of resentment, but she still deliberately looked at Ji Shiheng with a coquettish expression.
"Shi Heng, what are you saying? Why are you talking like that?"
Ji Shiheng shrugged indifferently: "It's just a fact. You know I'm direct, and besides, you brought this up first, so don't blame me."
Lin Xuesha suffered in silence and couldn't say anything.
Jiang Ranxing listened from the side and found it somewhat amusing.
It wasn't that Ji Shiheng's sharp retort to Lin Xuesha made her feel relieved, but rather that Ji Shiheng's direct way of speaking sometimes made people feel that he was a decent person at heart, even somewhat adorable.
It seems that if we work together in the future, it shouldn't be too boring.
Besides, people in the fashion industry really shouldn't be too old-fashioned.
Jiang Ranxing nodded silently.
Seeing this, Lin Xuesha thought Jiang Ranxing was making fun of her, and she couldn't help but feel angry.
Lin Xuesha then said, "Then why are you and Ranxing together? It can't be because of work, right?"
Lin Xuesha scoffed and deliberately picked on Jiang Ranxing's weak points.
She knew that Jiang Ranxing was unemployed, and an unemployed woman would be unable to hold her head high among them.
Jiang Ranxing didn't speak, not paying much attention to Lin Xuesha's question. She savored the dishes in small bites, and even picked some food for Fu Xingyi.
After hearing what Lin Xuesha said, Fu Xingyi immediately raised his hand.
"No, Aunt Xue Sha, I saw my mother working in the villa. She said she did something called, what was it called again?"
Fu Xingyi didn't remember Jiang Ranxing's words: "Mom, what kind of job did you do?"
Jiang Ranxing put down his chopsticks and said softly, "Ordinary office worker."
“Oh right, that’s what Mom was talking about,” Fu Xingyi shook his head. “It sounds like it’s not as good as Aunt Xue Sha’s job.”
Fu Xingyi also felt from the bottom of his heart that Jiang Ranxing was not as good as Lin Xuesha.
Aunt Xue Sha is beautiful, generous, and very good at design. Although there are some flaws in the designs she made for him, he still likes them very much.
Fu Xingyi felt that his mother's job was probably not as good as Aunt Xuesha's.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuesha inwardly mocked Jiang Ranxing for a while, realizing that he really couldn't find a decent job.
What kind of proper job is a clerk?
This is a perfect opportunity to mock Jiang Ranxing.
"Ranxing, back when we were in college, you were the top student in the design department. Even the professors said you had a lot of talent and your designs were good."
Lin Xuesha deliberately brought up things from her university days to satirize Jiang Ranxing.
"Back then, you always got first place in every departmental assignment or competition, and everyone agreed that you were the champion."
Back then, Jiang Ranxing always insisted on being one step ahead of her. No matter what she did, she was always second place. Jiang Ranxing always stood in front of her, and she had long harbored resentment towards Jiang Ranxing.
Now that she has a chance to satirize Jiang Ranxing, she won't let this opportunity slip by.
Lin Xuesha added, "But who would have thought that the outstanding student in the professor's eyes would give up her career and become a useless full-time housewife after getting married? It's such a pity."
Lin Xuesha's tone sounded very kind.
"Ranxing, if you ask me, it's tough for a full-time housewife to return to the workforce, but there are some things you have to overcome. Even if you're just a junior clerk, you can still earn some money. Don't complain that it's too little. Who knows, you might be able to go back to the design industry as a junior assistant in the future."
She observed Jiang Ranxing's expression, trying to discern any hint of humiliation.
However, Jiang Ranxing simply smiled calmly, took a sip of the sweet soup, and said nothing.
Instead, Ji Shiheng spoke up. He smiled and looked at Jiang Ranxing, saying something that made Lin Xuesha lose face.
"Jiang Ranxing, you've described my designer position at Ling Su as just an ordinary clerk. Do you really not know how valuable Ling Su is?"
Ji Shiheng smiled with a hint of helplessness.
Does this woman not value her position at all?
He was extremely meticulous in his selection of the designer for this position, to the point of being nitpicky.
Why does it seem like Jiang Ranxing doesn't value it at all?
Jiang Ranxing nodded slightly to Ji Shiheng: "President Ji, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I respect this position very much."
Ji Shiheng was still a little jealous.
“Lingsu is a reputable company. For your position, I’ve received at least several thousand resumes.”
Moreover, they are all resumes of top international designers.
However, Ji Shiheng didn't like any of them, but somehow he took a liking to Jiang Ranxing, which is why he extended an olive branch to her.
Who would have thought that Jiang Ranxing would so casually brush it off?
Ji Shiheng chuckled twice, looking rather helpless.
Although he said it out of helplessness, he didn't mean to blame anyone. He could probably sense that Jiang Ranxing wasn't actually a dismissive person.
Jiang Ranxing saw through Ji Shiheng's thoughts and said, "President Ji, my son is still young and doesn't understand these things, so I didn't explain them to him in detail. I still have great respect for Ling Su and President Ji, and I don't mean to look down on them."
That's absolutely true.
Jiang Ranxing exchanged some polite words with Ji Shiheng, which finally suppressed Ji Shiheng's sourness.
Ji Shiheng finally felt much more at peace.
On the contrary, Lin Xuesha was completely unable to sit still.
Lin Xuesha's jaw trembled slightly as she said incredulously, "Shi Heng, you mean Ranxing joined Lingsu as one of your designers?"
Ji Shiheng nodded, his eyes asking if there was anything to question.
Lin Xuesha's smile froze: "How could that be? Why would you invite her? She has no experience, and besides, your requirements are so high, even I can't get in..."
As Lin Xuesha spoke, she felt a lump in her throat.
How could Jiang Ranxing have joined Lingsu? It's simply unbelievable!
Lin Xuesha knew that Ji Shiheng intended to create a new design department and was recruiting well-known designers. She had also considered joining Ling Su.
If she can join Lingsu, it will be a huge boost to her career.
Lin Xuesha naturally submitted her resume to Ling Su. She originally thought that she and Ji Shiheng had some connection, and that even for Fu Shenyuan's sake, Ji Shiheng would agree.
But who knew that Ji Shiheng was so serious about his work?
Not long after, she received a call from Lingsu's HR department, saying that she had not passed President Ji's interview and had been eliminated at the resume stage.
Lin Xuesha was angry for a while, but then she thought that Ji Shiheng's behavior was very strange, so she let it go.
Later, she learned that Ji Shiheng had not yet found a designer he liked, so she forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, he gave the long-vacant designer position to Jiang Ranxing.
