Chapter 111 There are plenty of men out there, no need to hang yourself on one tree.
Professor Qin asked casually, and Jiang Ranxing's expression froze for a moment before he spoke.
"Yes, I got married right after graduation. He was just an ordinary local office worker."
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to mention Fu Shenyuan too much.
After all, they've already reached the point of divorce, and it's highly likely they won't have any contact in the future. Talking about it too much would only cause her trouble.
Professor Qin nodded, but didn't ask any further questions; he was just making a casual remark out of habit.
Professor Qin got back to the point and said, "You want to represent your company to select a few students from our department, right?"
Jiang Ranxing nodded and explained his ideas and related plans to Professor Qin.
After listening to her, Professor Qin nodded repeatedly: "Great, this is a good thing, a great opportunity for us students. Here's what we'll do, child, I'm getting old and don't have much energy. I'll have someone else handle this for you. If you need anything, just come find me here, okay?"
Jiang Ranxing naturally agreed with Professor Qin's statement.
Professor Qin pressed the internal phone on his desk: "Xiao Pei, do you have time? Come to my office after your class."
The voice on the other end of the phone was clear and articulate: "Okay, teacher, I just got back from get out of class and I'll be right there."
The internal telephones were all provided by the school, and the sound quality was poor, making the audio somewhat unclear.
However, Jiang Ranxing felt that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
But he couldn't quite explain it, so Jiang Ranxing shook his head.
When the person pushed open the door, the two saw each other, and Jiang Ranxing confirmed it.
"Senior Pei."
"Junior Sister Jiang".
The two spoke in unison, both looking somewhat surprised.
Professor Qin looked at them through his thick glasses and asked, "So you two know each other."
Jiang Ranxing smiled and nodded: "I know Senior Pei. He was a year ahead of me when we were in college. He's a very nice and popular person. We were quite familiar with each other when we were in school."
But after she married Fu Shenyuan, she gradually lost contact with all the people she knew and devoted herself to her family with Fu Shenyuan.
Pei Senlang was one of those people with whom he lost contact.
Professor Qin laughed upon hearing this: "Since you know each other, I don't need to introduce you. Xiao Pei, Xiao Jiang is here today to recruit a few graduates. You take her to see her. I'm leaving her affairs to you."
Professor Qin then briefly introduced Jiang Ranxing's background and purpose of visit.
"You can go now. Come find me if you need anything," Professor Qin instructed Pei Senlang. "Little Pei, please take good care of Little Jiang."
Pei Senlang smiled brightly and replied cheerfully, "Okay, Professor, then we'll be going now."
Professor Qin waved his hand, and the two of them left the office.
Once outside the office, Pei Senlang became somewhat reserved. He walked side by side with Jiang Ranxing, feeling a little embarrassed.
Pei Senlang spoke first: "Long time no see, Jiang Xuemei. I didn't expect to see you again."
Jiang Ranxing felt the same way: "I never expected to see Senior Pei again."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at the small metal name tag hanging on Pei Senlang's gray suit, which clearly read "H University Design Department: Professor Pei Senlang".
"Senior Pei, you're already a professor in our department! That's amazing!" Jiang Ranxing praised.
Being able to serve as a full professor at a prestigious university like H University, especially in a popular major, speaks volumes about one's abilities.
Pei Senlang smiled, his eyes and brows radiating the warmth of the sunlight.
"Junior, please don't flatter me. If we're talking about being amazing, back in our school, everyone knew about the beautiful and talented girl who joined the design department as a freshman."
Pei Senlang was also surrounded by people when he went to see Jiang Ranxing's work.
It was an intra-school competition for freshmen, and Jiang Ranxing's work won first place. At the award ceremony, Jiang Ranxing stood on the stage as bright as the sunshine that day.
That instant, that single glance, stirred Pei Senlang's once tranquil heart.
He just wasn't brave enough at the time, so he missed out on this person.
But now, fate has brought him together with Jiang Ranxing once again.
Pei Senlang laughed.
Jiang Ranxing laughed along, "Senior Pei, you're too modest. A professor this young must be very talented to have been chosen by the university."
Pei Senlang laughed and said, "It was just a coincidence. Junior, I heard from Professor Qin that you just came to Lingsu. What was your research area before?"
Pei Senlang simply wanted to ask Jiang Ranxing about her career path so he could help her work with her.
Before Jiang Ranxing went to Lingsu, she had always presented herself as a housewife to the outside world.
She didn't intend to hide anything from Pei Senlang and frankly said, "I didn't work before; I was a full-time housewife."
Pei Senlang paused for a few seconds, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"Junior, you're already married..."
Jiang Ranxing let out a long sigh, still feeling a knot in his heart, but he continued speaking.
"I got married right after graduation, but now we're getting a divorce."
Pei Senlang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned his head: "May I ask why? Is it because of incompatibility or some other reason?"
Jiang Ranxing didn't mind talking about this issue; she just didn't want to think about Fu Shenyuan.
She said, "Both, anyway, our marriage is no longer sustainable, and we're currently going through the divorce process."
After hearing this, Pei Senlang's eyes gleamed. Taking advantage of Jiang Ranxing's distraction while she was walking, he looked down at Jiang Ranxing beside him.
Jiang Ranxing's face seems to be no different from when she was in college; she is still just as beautiful and delicate.
He had seen Jiang Ranxing up close at that time, but Jiang Ranxing never gave him any attention.
They had always interacted as senior and junior students.
He couldn't get any closer to Jiang Ranxing.
So much so that Pei Senlang often regretted not being braver when he was in college, because the story might have turned out differently.
Fortunately, it seemed that God was on his side and brought Jiang Ranxing back to his side.
He had just heard Jiang Ranxing say that she was already married, and he thought he would never have a chance in this lifetime.
But when he heard her say that she was going to be single again, Pei Senlang felt more confident.
This time, he will not give up easily again.
Pei Senlang laughed heartily and gently patted Jiang Ranxing's shoulder.
"Junior Sister Jiang, don't be discouraged. There are plenty of good men in the world. There's no need to hang yourself on one tree. You'll find someone else if you leave him."
"Senior Pei is right."
If only she had figured it out sooner, she wouldn't have wasted so much time on Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing looked up and responded with a smile, which was somewhat bitter.
"But I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm a divorced woman, and I don't have any thoughts about relationships anymore."
Hearing her somewhat disheartened words, Pei Senlang strongly disagreed, as he did not want Jiang Ranxing to be indifferent to matters of the heart.
"Don't say that. Once you get over this relationship, there will be people more worthy of your affection in the future."
Jiang Ranxing smiled but didn't say anything more.
She wants to focus on building her career first.
Pei Senlang took her to his office and retrieved the list of this year's graduates and their works.
"These students have good grades at school and their works have their own unique style. You can take a look at them first."
Pei Senlang gave up his seat for Jiang Ranxing.
Jiang Ranxing didn't think about anything else, scrolling through the pages of information on the computer screen with the mouse.
While Jiang Ranxing was intently looking at the computer, Pei Senlang stood beside her, leaning down to look at it with her, and explaining things to her.
Jiang Ranxing is very serious when she is working, and her expression is somewhat serious.
However, even such a small expression, when seen by Pei Senlang, possessed a breathtaking beauty.
When Pei Senlang finally met the person he had been longing for, he realized that his feelings for Jiang Ranxing had never changed.
He likes Jiang Ranxing, from the past to now, it seems.
Fate brought them together at this time, when Jiang Ranxing was about to get a divorce. Was it giving him a chance to start over?
Pei Senlang smiled.
After looking through the works, Jiang Ranxing noticed two students' pieces and said, "Senior Pei, I think these two are quite good. May I meet them?"
Jiang Ranxing turned around and met Pei Senlang's gaze. A hint of panic flashed in Pei Senlang's eyes before he nodded: "Okay, I'll contact them."
Then Pei Senlang took his phone and left to contact the students.
Pei Senlang walked out without even meeting Jiang Ranxing's gaze.
Jiang Ranxing was also a bit confused, not knowing what had happened to Pei Senlang.
