A failed secret love can sometimes bring more unforgettable pain than breaking up.
Jiang Minghuan didn't want to think about that painful memory again, so she put down the wine glass in her hand, stood up from the high chair at the bar,
"Stop drinking, I have to see Professor Guo tonight."
She is really good at disguising, but in just half a minute, she has completely hidden the sourness she had suffered just now, her face is as cold as when she came in, and no emotion can be seen anymore.
Seeing this, Shen Zhi quickly took a sip of the red wine in the glass, then grabbed the phone and followed her closely.
"Why do you go to your tutor every day? You are only a sophomore. Aren't Professor Guo's projects all done by graduate students and doctoral students?"
Jiang Minghuan walked in front, her legs were thin and long, and she stepped out of the bar door with just one step.
When they left, many men were staring at her back, eager to strike up a conversation, but they were stunned by her cold demeanor.
Naturally, Shen Zhi also noticed these malicious gazes, walked to Jiang Minghuan's side, and held her arm without any entanglement, and did not let go until the two of them left the bar completely.
Between friends, a small gesture that cannot be called intimacy.
Jiang Minghuan knew that not all women could fascinate her like Ye Wenyu, and even spent two years unable to completely forget her.
Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Zhi occasionally holding his arm.
Thinking of her complaint just now, Jiang Minghuan just shook her head, and then said something lightly, which directly made the girl next to her stay in place,
"I plan to apply for a direct Ph.D. program."
Straight post?
When Shen Zhi heard this word, three words appeared in his mind in an instant——
Crazy?
She knew that Jiang Minghuan was excellent and worked hard enough, but the difficulty of direct blogging was not acceptable to ordinary people.
Not to mention, the degree of difficulty of graduation for Ph.D students from CUHK has been at the top of the university rankings for five consecutive years.
"Have you really... thought it through? Reading a Ph.D. is not as easy as you think..."
After being surprised, what Shen Zhi cared most about was Jiang Minghuan's real thoughts. If the other party had really made up his mind, all she could give was support.
"I know," Jiang Minghuan turned her head away and smiled, without a trace of timidity on her face, "This is Professor Guo's suggestion, and I have thought about it for a long time, so you don't have to worry about me."
What Shen Zhi was worried about, she knew it very well.
Direct Ph.D. is very difficult, and study is boring. Most people can’t stand this kind of life. They often choose to drop out of school before graduating with a doctorate. The result of giving up is that they don’t even have a master’s degree certificate.
After a few years of hard work and delay, all I got in the end was an undergraduate degree certificate, which was really not worth it.
"After graduating with a Ph.D., I will stay and work in Jiangcheng."
Jinshi, will not go back.
Jiang Minghuan has already started to plan for her own future, but in this plan, there is no place for the word "Ye Wenyu".
In late autumn, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves on the side of the road fall to the ground, and when the wind blows, they float to the feet.
Shen Zhi is a native of Jiangcheng. When Jiang Minghuan said that he would stay in this city in the future, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and there was a gentle and tender breath in his brows and eyes, immature and green.
"Really? Then we can always be good friends in the future?"
Seeing her smile, Jiang Minghuan couldn't help but curled her lips together, nodded slightly in response,
"Ah."
Ye Wenyu was still in a meeting in the office when she received Duan Qing's call.
The company's new project has been tampered with, causing a lot of trouble, and now it is still facing the risk of a lawsuit.
The atmosphere was so cold that it almost turned into ice, and everyone sat in their seats silently, not even daring to pant.
Song Yue saw that her boss was absent-minded, and guessed that the call was related to Jiang Minghuan, so she thoughtfully gave everyone a step up and ended the meeting early.
A group of people carried the documents and left one after another, their faces were full of sorrow.
Ye Wenyu looked at the phone screen in thought, and did not recover from the fugue until the door was closed.
In two years, she has become more and more mature.
The other two synonymous with maturity are sexy and seductive.
This is a kind of beauty that is only related to temperament.
Just sitting there and doing nothing, Ye Wenyu has the charm to attract everyone's attention.
The caller ID on the screen was still shining brightly, she finally reached out and connected the call.
"Sister?"
The cold voice, as always.
Duan Qing on the other end of the phone, just came out of Professor Guo Xun's office, with a worried expression on his face, hesitated for a long time, and told the news just heard.
"Wenyu, when are you coming to Jiangcheng?"
Ye Wenyu pinched the phone, her two long eyebrows furrowed slightly, a hint of puzzlement flashed across her face,
"The company is very busy recently, so I haven't considered going to Jiangcheng for the time being."
The tone was very natural, and there was a trace of confusion hidden in the words, as if, she asked why she wanted to go to Jiangcheng.
When Duan Qing heard this reply, she sighed secretly, remained silent for a few seconds, and then opened her mouth leisurely,
"Xiaojiang plans to apply for a direct Ph.D. program at CUHK next year."
"Professor Guo said that her parents have agreed."
"So this—did she discuss it with you?"
In just three sentences, it was like three boulders falling from the sky, hitting the ground with a bang, and then exploded in the ears with a bang.
A sense of panic that I had never felt before floated in my heart.
Ye Wenyu's heart skipped a beat, followed by a burst of rapid and violent anxiety, as if her heart had been lightly pricked by a needle, the pain was not obvious, but it was so real.
Some things seem to have slowly deviated from the track she expected.
Reading a Ph.D. is no small matter. Once the application is successful, it means that Jiang Minghuan will have to stay in Jiangcheng for another five years.
Four years and five years later, all emotions should be exhausted.
Perhaps at that time, the two of them would not even be considered relatives.
Ye Wenyu suddenly became a little scared, and remembered the night when Jiang Minghuan confessed to her, those sweet words wrapped in love, the entangled breathing of the two in the dark, and that - the interrupted kiss .
As calm and rational as she is, she never thought that one day, her little niece would completely leave her.
His fingers unconsciously pressed on the screen of the phone, and with a little force, his fingertips turned white.
With her elbows resting on the table and her forearms supporting her head, the woman's delicate and alluring face was full of fatigue and remorse.
Ye Wenyu took a deep breath, concealing the panic in her heart, and her tone was pretending to be calm,
"No--"
"...Professor Guo will bring three students to participate in the Bojia Financial International Conference next month at Jin University, including her."
"I will discuss this matter with her again at that time."
Bojia Finance International Conference, the most famous and largest financial academic conference in the country, is held once every three years, and various academic experts at home and abroad will be invited to participate. Opportunities to submit papers to well-known journals and make public presentations.
Thanks to the sponsorship of outstanding alumnus Ye Wenyu, Jinda successfully won the right to host this conference.
The person in charge of the meeting was not stupid. After confirming the participants, he immediately sent the list to Ye Wenyu.
Sure enough, Jiang Minghuan's name was on the list.
Ye Wenyu has her own selfishness in sponsoring this meeting. Duan Qing has said more than once that Professor Guo likes Jiang Minghuan very much and often praises her for her potential. Once such a student has a chance to perform, the teacher will definitely not let it go easily Pass.
As she expected, Jiang Minghuan's name was among the three students.
When she saw the list of participants, she was proud for a long time, but now she wants to understand the real reason why Professor Guo Xun brought Jiang Minghuan here——
I'm afraid that at that time, the child has already decided to study for a doctorate.
Otherwise, how could a mere undergraduate get such a good opportunity?
Ye Wenyu's mouth felt bitter, as if drinking a sip of black coffee without sugar, all the uneasiness gathered in it.
As if hearing the irritability in her tone, Duanqing sighed softly. After a long time, she moved her lips and said another thing,
"Xiao Jiangtou's paper was withdrawn by herself."
"Without a paper, there is no qualification to participate in the conference."
"...This time, she will not return to Jin City."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a long silence on the phone.
Duan Qing once thought that the phone was hung up, until she took down the phone and looked at it, and then she was sure that the call was still on.
I don't know how long it took before Ye Wenyu finally spoke out. Different from her calmness just now, this time, her voice trembled a little. It sounded like she was enduring some uneasiness.
"What do you mean by 'submitting for a paper and being withdrawn by herself'?"
Duan Qing leaned against the wall, hesitating whether to say the next thing or not.
She knows Ye Wenyu's temper very well, sometimes she is so awkward that people want to curse.
He obviously cared about his niece very much, but he refused to show it at all.
In the past two years, he tried every means to inquire about Jiang Minghuan's news, and even secretly asked him to find various reasons to give her something.
Even if there is a huge conflict between relatives, it will not be a cold war like this.
If you care, you should show it face to face.
No matter how much you do behind the scenes, the other party doesn't even know about it. What's the difference between doing nothing?
Duan Qing didn't know what happened between the two of them. Emotionally, she was inclined to Ye Wenyu, who had known each other for many years and gave silently. Intellectually, she was more supportive of Jiang Minghuan, who was studying alone and knew nothing.
As an outsider, it's not easy for her to give too much advice.
After struggling for a long time, I finally told everything I heard from Professor Guo.
"Professor Guo said that he submitted the paper for Xiaojiang. After Xiaojiang found out, he immediately contacted the teachers at Jinda University and withdrew the submission."
When Ye Wenyu heard this sentence, her pupils shrank suddenly, her heart seemed to be caught by something, it hurt and swelled, and it was difficult to even breathe.
Jiang Minghuan had to withdraw the paper at the risk of her tutor's anger, obviously because she didn't want to go back to Jinshi at all.
As for why she didn't want to go back to Jin City, no one knew better than Ye Wenyu herself.
Jiang Ming hated her.
Two years of snubbing, two years of silence.
No one can bear it.
"Wenyu, what is the conflict between you guys? As for the trouble like this? Xiaojiang is a good boy. I have known her for two years and taught her for a year. I know her character very well. What mistakes did she make to make you like this?" The elders ignored her for two years?"
"I won't say much, you can think about it for yourself."
In the past two years, from mild to cold, Jiang Minghuan's change has been seen in her eyes, and she is a little angry and distressed thinking about it.
There was a trace of pain in Ye Wenyu's eyes, and for a moment, her throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of fire, which made her heart ache.
It wasn't until the invisible fire faded away that she endured the bitterness in her heart and opened her mouth, with a hint of pleading in her tone,
"Senior sister, help me again and let her come to Jinshi."
The author has something to say: Auntie tells us a truth from her personal experience: When you are in love, don’t play it easy
the fire finally lit
Jiang Minghuan didn't want to think about that painful memory again, so she put down the wine glass in her hand, stood up from the high chair at the bar,
"Stop drinking, I have to see Professor Guo tonight."
