Chapter 189 I Just Want to See You More
The visitors in the audience were obviously still not satisfied, so they could only watch Ji Ran go downstairs without looking back.
Everyone had already heard of the genius professor's cold personality, so this style of behavior was understandable.
Ji Ran returned to the backstage, put away his computer and walked out.
She knew that the man from Zeng Nian would come looking for her soon, and she was counting in her heart.
"Xiao Ji!" A steady voice suddenly sounded from behind, calling her.
She turned around and saw the principal, Li Wenshu, with a young woman beside him, the one who had just sat in the first row.
A hint of doubt flashed across Ji Ran's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just waited calmly for the other party to state his intentions.
"Hello, Professor Ji. I'm Luo Muyan." The woman extended her hand with a standard social smile.
Ji Ran looked at the hand, then raised his eyes to look at the woman and nodded lightly.
After all, Ji Ran clearly felt the inexplicable hostility this woman had towards her while sitting in the audience, and he was too lazy to play along with her.
She simply looked directly at the old principal, with a hint of impatience in her eyes, urging him to speak quickly.
"Ahem," the principal received the signal and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Don't mind, Xiao Luo. Professor Ji is just a straightforward person."
Hearing this, Luo Muyan graciously withdrew her hand without showing any displeasure, but the curve of her lips became a little more fake. "I've heard that Professor Ji has a rather... special personality. Seeing him today, he's indeed different from ordinary people."
"Haha, it's not that special," the principal heard the hidden meaning and felt a little unhappy. "Professor Ji just looks cold but is warm-hearted."
It's a good thing that the child didn't grow up in such a bad environment. He is also contributing to the development of mankind. Even if he is the chief's granddaughter, what qualifications does he have to comment on her like this?
"Well," the principal dropped the politeness and went straight to Ji Ran, "This Xiao Luo is a PhD in biology from Boston University. He just returned to China and will be joining our college to participate in research projects."
"I'm very interested in the AB animal research project," Luo Muyan interjected, "I wonder if I'll have the honor to join the project's subsequent progress?"
He seemed to be seeking permission, but his tone was very firm.
Ji Ran's gaze fell on Luo Muyan's face again, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Although the old principal didn't say it explicitly, she roughly guessed where this woman came from.
You can enter the research institute of a top domestic university right after graduating from a famous foreign university, and you can also be personally recommended by the president of Kyoto University.
The most important thing is that her surname is Luo.
"The academic research of the project has been completed. There is no point in adding people at this time, and it will only delay the progress of the experiment." Ji Ran narrated calmly, and the meaning of refusal was already quite obvious.
Hearing this, the smile on Luo Muyan's face faded a little.
Seeing the atmosphere getting increasingly depressing, the principal sighed inwardly.
He couldn't afford to offend either of these two people. He couldn't afford to offend Luo Muyan's background. As for Ji Ran, he simply couldn't afford to offend him.
"It's quite... sudden to bring up this matter today. Anyway, even if we join the project, we still need the school's process review. Professor Ji, if you have something to do today, just go and do it first." The principal tried to smooth things over.
Ji Ran knew what the old principal meant, so he followed the pole, looked away, and turned away.
The smile on Luo Muyan's face also disappeared. "Principal Li, I think I have made it very clear to you. My grandfather hopes that I can adapt to the domestic research environment as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the principal smiled and said, "Yes, but things will always be smooth sailing if you take it slow. Everything is a matter of fate. The academy has more than just Professor Ji's research project. There will always be suitable opportunities. I believe that Chief Luo will understand."
Luo Muyan turned her head to look at Li Wenshu and forced out a fake smile again, "Okay."
On this side, Ji Ran walked out of the auditorium building, but it was surprisingly quiet. Apart from some students and teachers who greeted her, there was no one to disturb her.
She looked back again and saw only a few people coming and going, basically teachers or students of the academy, nothing suspicious.
But right now, the most suspicious thing is that there is no suspicion.
Ji Ran suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked towards the parking lot.
Suddenly, feeling someone approaching from behind, Ji Ran's scattered gaze instantly focused on a dangerous signal. He felt no fear in his heart, and was even a little excited.
She stopped suddenly and turned around.
Then, the excitement in her eyes drooped again in an instant, "Why is it you?"
Jiang Baishen, who originally wanted to scare her, was startled by her sudden turn. He calmed himself down and said with a smile, "How did you know I was behind you?"
Ji Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and continued walking.
"Hey, Xiao Leng." Jiang Baishen hurriedly followed after seeing this, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye last time?"
After Ji Ran left last time, he had been very worried and wanted to go to her house to check on her, but since he knew the man's secret, he was afraid of bringing them any trouble. Seeing that she was safe and sound today, he felt relieved and just wanted to say a few more words to her.
"Something happened suddenly and I left." Ji Ran said casually without stopping.
Jiang Baishen hadn't expected to hear any reasonable explanation, so he didn't ask any further questions. "Manxi was so sad, she kept yelling that she wanted to come find you."
Ji Ran thought of that enthusiastic girl, and ultimately couldn't say no, "Let's talk about it when we have time."
"When are you free?" Jiang Baishen asked.
Ji Ran was speechless and glanced at him, "What's the matter with you?"
"I just want to see you more." Jiang Baishen's tone suddenly became even gentler.
Ji Ran couldn't help but look at him, his brows twisted unconsciously, "If you took the wrong medicine, go get your stomach washed, don't be so cheesy here."
Hearing this, Jiang Baishen's smile became even brighter. He walked with Ji Ran towards the parking lot. He had no other thoughts, he just wanted to stay with her for a while longer.
What he didn't see was that the figure behind him that suddenly stopped dimmed even more.
Noila Mo herself also wanted to come out to check on Ji Ran’s condition, but her heart was severely ravaged once again.
His attitude towards her and Ji Ran was completely different. It seemed as if he would never speak to her in such an intimate tone, and always keep an invisible gap between them.
She turned around and headed back towards the hall in disappointment, but was suddenly blocked by an unexpected woman.
“You are…” Noila Mo asked politely, and her mind began to search for a face that matched this somewhat familiar face.
"You like that man, right?" Yuan Yamei spoke directly.
Noila Mo was startled, her eyes evaded, and her tone was cold: “I don’t know who you are talking about.”
After saying that, she didn't bother to recall the other party's background, but just walked around Yuan Yamei in a panic and wanted to leave.
"I'm talking about Jiang Baishen, the young master of the Jiang family." Yuan Yamei raised her voice.
