Chapter 110 No Time for Him
Fu Shenyuan remained silent.
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to wait for him anymore.
Just as he was about to hang up, Fu Shenyuan spoke.
"etc."
Jiang Ranxing paused slightly as she pressed the hang-up button, then asked him in a cool voice, "What is it?"
Fu Shenyuan said, "Come back to the old house with me this weekend, and we'll check on Grandpa's health together."
Jiang Ranxing did not answer.
She remembered that she had called the old house before, and the old housekeeper said that Old Master Fu was not in good health and had been resting.
It should have recovered by now.
Fu Shenyuan asked again from the other end of the phone, "Do you have time this weekend?"
The question, which sounded almost like a discussion, actually came from Fu Shenyuan's mouth.
Jiang Ranxing was somewhat surprised.
However, Jiang Ranxing is now completely unresponsive to these small details that could easily touch a woman's heart, especially those shown by Fu Shenyuan.
"I don't have time..."
As soon as Jiang Ranxing finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Zhou Yinxiu's words.
Teacher Zhou said that he would go with her to talk to the old man of the Fu family about her divorce over the weekend, but she didn't know what Teacher Zhou was planning to do.
However, they can go together. If they can decide some things on the spot, it would be good to have Fu Shenyuan and her as the parties involved.
Jiang Ranxing said into the phone, "Okay, then let's go back to the old house this weekend."
Fu Shenyuan seemed surprised that Jiang Ranxing agreed so readily.
He thought Jiang Ranxing would refuse.
Fu Shenyuan said, "I'll have Tan Shen pick you up and come over. Where do you live? Tell me your address."
Jiang Ranxing had no intention of revealing the address of her apartment to Fu Shenyuan and the others.
She didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Jiang Ranxing declined, saying, "No need to trouble Assistant Tan. I'll drive to the old house myself. Let's talk when we get there. Bye."
After Jiang Ranxing finished speaking, he hung up the phone decisively.
Then Jiang Ranxing continued with her own business, as if the phone call from Fu Shenyuan had no effect on her whatsoever.
Then, Fu Shenyuan heard the busy tone of the phone being disconnected.
Fu Shenyuan froze, staring at the black screen of his phone, his slender fingers slowly tightening their grip on it.
Jiang Ranxing really did hang up on him a lot.
In the past, Jiang Ranxing would never have hung up on him first.
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ranxing hung up the phone.
Even during the call, Jiang Ranxing's tone revealed impatience.
Did he mishear, or was it something else?
Fu Shenyuan felt a mix of emotions.
Something was gradually veering off course, seemingly about to slip out of his control and leave him.
While Fu Shenyuan was in a daze, Fu Xingyi walked over in her slippers and shook Fu Shenyuan's arm.
"Dad, did you just call Mom? I heard you say you were going to visit Great-Grandpa," Fu Xingyi said to Fu Shenyuan with a hopeful and affectionate tone.
Fu Shenyuan nodded and hummed in agreement.
"I also want to see Great-Grandpa, Dad, please take me with you," Fu Xingyi said to Fu Shenyuan in a pleading tone, hoping his father could take him along.
“Okay.” Fu Shenyuan nodded.
Fu Xingyi was a little happy, and then he thought of Jiang Ranxing.
"Will Mom come back and go with us?"
Jiang Ranxing used to go with them, but now Fu Xingyi isn't sure.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Yes, but your mother will have to go by herself."
Fu Xingyi didn't quite understand, but he didn't say anything and didn't take it seriously.
"When I see my mom, I'm going to tell her to go to the parent-teacher conference. Dad, please remind me, or I'll forget."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Fu Xingyi nodded and skipped away happily.
Fu Shenyuan's eyes flickered a few times, as if he was pondering what Fu Xingyi had mentioned about the parent-teacher meeting.
When he returns to the old house, he will find time to talk to Jiang Ranxing.
The next morning, Jiang Ranxing arrived at Lingsu very early as usual. Before that, she went to her studio to get reference materials, most of which were materials related to her works that she had collected over the years.
Jiang Ranxing quickly got to work, reorganizing his documents and bringing them into his office.
Jiang Ranxing did not see Ji Shiheng today, but as she and Ji Shiheng had said, she needed to first assemble her own staff.
Jiang Ranxing considered it. If she wanted to select outstanding young students to collaborate with, then her alma mater, H University, would be an excellent choice.
H University's design department enjoys a high reputation in China and has attracted many talented design students in recent years.
Jiang Ranxing got the phone number of an old professor in the design department through a friend. She sat down in her office chair, looked out the window, and pressed the call button.
"Hello, who is this?" came the steady voice of the old man from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Ranxing said respectfully, "Excuse me, Professor Qin, I'm Jiang Ranxing, a designer from the startup team of Lingsu Group. I'm calling you today because I'd like to discuss some work-related matters with you..."
Jiang Ranxing explained his purpose to the elderly professor opposite him.
Professor Qin said, "Yes, that's a good idea. Our department has been planning to do the same recently. If you have time, why don't you come to our department and we can meet and talk?"
Jiang Ranxing had the same idea, and smiled as he agreed: "Thank you so much, Professor Qin. I'll visit you at H University right now."
Professor Qin responded and hung up the phone.
Jiang Ranxing didn't hesitate. She originally thought that H University wouldn't agree so easily, but she didn't expect this old professor to be so easy to talk to.
She remembered that when she was in school, Professor Qin was quite difficult to talk to.
At this point, she didn't know why, but she still grabbed her bag and went to the parking lot again, driving to H University.
H University campus.
Jiang Ranxing parked the white sports car steadily in the parking lot before turning off the engine and getting out of the car.
H University was in the midst of its campus recruitment season, with various departments connecting with companies to hold promotional events, and young students carrying their resumes in search of their ideal future.
To get to the design department's faculty building, you have to walk through a long, tree-lined road.
Today, Jiang Ranxing wasn't wearing a business suit. Instead, she changed into a more youthful and lively shirt and light-colored trousers, paired with a pair of clean white casual sneakers.
She casually tied her hair back, leaving a natural and relaxed ponytail, and accessorized with simple and elegant plain-colored earrings.
Walking on campus, at first glance, Jiang Ranxing looks like a female college student who hasn't graduated yet, giving off the vibe of a highly intelligent senior.
Even when Jiang Ranxing was walking down the street, college students with resumes would pass by and ask her questions.
"Excuse me, senior, how do I get to Section 3 of Building E? I'm not in this department, and we can't find our way. Could you please give me directions?"
Jiang Ranxing used his memory to give directions to the students.
The students were very grateful and thanked her profusely.
Jiang Ranxing smiled and waved to them.
She was indeed very young and energetic, and when she returned to campus, she couldn't help but be infected by the youthful atmosphere.
Jiang Ranxing smiled and continued walking towards the faculty building. Following the directions provided by Professor Qin, Jiang Ranxing successfully found his office.
Knock knock—
Jiang Ranxing knocked on the office door: "Hello Professor Qin, I am Jiang Ranxing from Lingsu."
"Please come in."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranxing pushed open the door and saw an elderly man with gray hair sitting at his desk, his eyes drooping on the bridge of his nose as he looked at her.
"It really is you. You're Jiang Ranxing, a student from the xx grade, right?"
Jiang Ranxing smiled and bowed slightly: "Professor Qin, it's been a long time. It's my honor that you still remember me."
Professor Qin hurriedly stood up and smiled broadly: "Oh! A promising student like you is a rare find. Even though this old man's memory isn't working so well, I still remember you. Don't be shy, please sit down."
Professor Qin continued, "After you graduated, you disappeared from the design industry. We even thought you had given up on design. We never expected to meet you today."
Professor Qin had always had a good impression of Jiang Ranxing, mainly because Jiang Ranxing's works during his school years were so outstanding that he could be considered a rare talent.
"I heard you got married right after graduation, right? Where is your husband from, and what does he do?"
