After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?

Chapter 150: Chapter 150 The Mind’s Eye is Narrow

Shen Qingqing has a natural talent for learning languages. During her four years abroad, she picked up two additional languages.

Her résumé is, indeed, impressive—she excels in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, each skill firmly under her command.

Moreover, she has three years of experience working as a translator for a publishing house.

The staff member handling her onboarding nodded repeatedly.

Talent like hers deserves both admiration and a warm welcome!

After collecting her paperwork, the staff member explained her job responsibilities, salary, and benefits package to Shen Qingqing.

Before returning to China, Shen Qingqing hadn’t thought much about these details.

As long as she could find a job that allows her to pursue her dreams and financially sustain herself, that’s sufficient.

Getting in at Beijing University was a huge break for her.

So, when they asked if she had any other requests, Shen Qingqing shook her head, "No, none."

Her straightforward response left an even better impression on the staff.

The staff pulled out a cardboard box from under the desk. "These are supplies allocated for Teacher Shen, including office stationery and teaching materials..."

They also handed her a set of keys. "These are the keys to your dormitory. You’ve been assigned a single room. The space has already been cleaned, and you can move in at any time."

With her housing needs settled, Shen Qingqing truly felt she had no lingering concerns left.

Even though the base salary was modest, only seventy yuan, the additional allowances made her income more than enough for a comfortable life.

If she saved carefully, putting away fifty yuan a month wouldn’t be an issue.

Additionally, she could take on freelance translation projects or conduct academic research.

All in all, she was determined to repay the money she owed the Jiang Family—not only to keep her word but also to do so swiftly.

By working diligently for a few years, her employer might eventually allocate her a housing unit.

When that time comes, she would feel much less pressure.

After completing her onboarding, Shen Qingqing decided to first visit her dormitory and plan what furniture and supplies she might need.

As for the belongings she left at the Jiang Family, she planned to bring them all over.

She and Jiang Zhixun were already divorced. No matter how good her relationship with his elders might be, it wasn’t appropriate to leave her personal items at her ex-husband’s home.

The staff member pointed her in the right direction. "It’s the dormitory building near the East Gate. Teacher Shen, I’ve got work to attend to, so I won’t escort you over."

The staff glanced at the man who had remained silent all this time. "Comrade, are you accompanying Teacher Shen? This box is rather heavy—please help her carry it."

Jiang Zhixun shot a smug look at Shen Qingqing.

This time, it wasn’t as if he volunteered unnecessarily!

Straightening his back, he easily picked up the box and stood tall. "Lead the way."

Shen Qingqing had never met someone so adept at exploiting opportunities. She chose not to comment in front of others.

She exchanged polite farewells with the staff.

That person chuckled and said, "My surname is Xu. Although we’re responsible for different tasks, we’re still colleagues. Teacher Shen, there’s no need to be so formal."

Shen Qingqing replied, "Teacher Xu, I’ll count on your guidance in the future."

The campus environment could be considered simple, but where there are people, there are politics.

Having someone to offer pointers in the workplace is indeed a fortunate thing.

Teacher Xu had been there for three years and was a senior in experience compared to Shen Qingqing.

Her request for guidance wasn’t merely a courtesy.

Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Let’s exchange ideas and learn from each other."

After a few polite exchanges, Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun left Teacher Xu’s office.

Since Shen Qingqing would be living in a dormitory, she planned to eat at the school cafeteria as well.

Despite being his first time at Beijing University, Jiang Zhixun’s sense of direction was uncanny. Without even glancing at signage, he could figure out where the cafeteria was.

He said to Shen Qingqing, "The cafeteria isn’t far from the dormitory. Let’s take a look along the way, so next time you won’t need extra time to find it when grabbing meals."

If anyone but Jiang Zhixun had said this, Shen Qingqing might have agreed.

Instead, she treated his words as if they were mere background noise and continued heading toward the dormitory.

Jiang Zhixun had no choice but to stay silent, trailing behind her at just the right distance—not too close, not too far.

His gaze alternated between Shen Qingqing and the surrounding environment.

As he looked around, he noticed many male colleagues stealing glances at Shen Qingqing.

His mood instantly soured.

With a grim face, he quickened his pace to walk side by side with Shen Qingqing, asserting his presence.

Their pairing—handsome man and beautiful woman—attracted even more attention.

After all, people are drawn to beauty, making the stares directed at them multiply.

Most of the male colleagues were focused on Shen Qingqing.

Meanwhile, the female colleagues admired both—a perfect duo of eye candy!

Jiang Zhixun stood tall and looked debonair, like a living mannequin. Even wearing outfits from several years ago, he carried them off without seeming outdated, exuding an air of sophistication.

While Jiang Zhixun’s style was relatively common, Shen Qingqing’s was strikingly modern.

Her blouse and skirt showcased a unique design rare among others.

The belt she added was the perfect finishing touch, enhancing her fashionably chic demeanor—even her meticulously styled hair appeared far from rigid.

Her heels had a moderate height with slim heels, making her movements light and balanced. Her graceful stride created an elegant silhouette.

As for the stockings on her legs, many people were seeing them for the first time, let alone wearing them themselves.

They found themselves captivated, staring for too long without realizing it.

Until one male colleague walked straight into a tree, leaving Jiang Zhixun’s expression entirely dark.

With a sharp glare, those staring quickly averted their eyes.

Jiang Zhixun lowered his gaze, settling his attention on Shen Qingqing’s legs. She truly looked stunning and alluring dressed as she was, and he didn’t want others to see!

"Don’t the heels tire you out? Let’s visit the mall later and buy you a couple pairs of flat shoes. Otherwise, standing for long hours during lessons will exhaust your legs."

Shen Qingqing already owned flat shoes, and since Jiang Zhixun’s suggestion came with good intentions, her tone softened slightly.

"Mhm."

Jiang Zhixun continued, "Flat shoes don’t pair as well with skirts. How about we buy you two pairs of trousers while we’re at it? Trousers would be more suitable for work—it’s already tiring enough without worrying about makeup and coordinating outfits every day. You’d feel less burdened."

The moment Shen Qingqing’s softened expression turned icy again.

"How I dress is my business. Please remember your place!"

Whether Jiang Zhixun remained her ex-husband or became her current partner someday, he had no right to dictate how she dressed.

She wasn’t exposing anything inappropriate, and her skirt length extended beyond her knees. By her standards, she looked entirely proper.

Where did Jiang Zhixun find the audacity to critique her outfit?

It was clear that Shen Qingqing was genuinely upset, making Jiang Zhixun’s heart skip a beat.

"Sorry."

The man’s lips moved, uttering those two words.

Shen Qingqing was caught between exasperation and anger, unable to fully let the sentiment out or suppress it entirely, leaving her suffocatingly frustrated.

When they finally reached a secluded area, she pressed a hand to her chest to ease her breather, exhaling the pent-up irritation.

"You heard my salary just now. From now on, I’ll repay you fifty yuan per month. I’ll send the money to the compound and have your mother forward it to you."

Jiang Zhixun’s purpose wasn’t about asking her for money in the first place.

Moreover, if she insisted on repaying him, how would her remaining income be enough to support her living expenses?

Even if she could earn extra with freelance translation work, losing fifty yuan would still heavily impact her lifestyle.

Jiang Zhixun acknowledged his own flaw. "I admit, I was petty—I don’t like other men looking at you."

Shen Qingqing nearly erupted in fury. "Am I your possession? What difference does it make whether you like it or not?"
