After Jian Yiling finished talking with Professor Xu, Professor Xu asked Cheng Yi to drive Jian Yiling back home.
“Cheng Yi, you better get her home safely! If not, don’t come back!”
“Yes, teacher. I understand.”
After his teacher picked up a treasure, Cheng Yi’s existence has diminished to that of a patch of grass.
“Yiling, what’s your home address?” Cheng Yi asked Jian Yiling.
“Go to Shenghua High School,” Jian Yiling replied.
She had just enough time to get back to school before her grandma came to pick her up.
Cheng Yi didn’t interrogate her further about the matter. If Jian Yiling said she wanted to go back to school, he would send her there.
Cheng Yi went to fetch his car. Although his car appeared to look quite modest on the exterior, the interior decoration was tastefully chosen.
Furthermore, Jian Yiling discovered that Cheng Yi’s car windows were explosive resistant. The level of safety was very high.
No one who worked at the Huiling Medical Research Institution was ordinary. Of course, Cheng Yi was no exception.
When Cheng Yi drove past the gate, the security guard had an awkward smile on his face. He didn’t dare to look at Jian Yiling directly.
As he drove, Cheng Yi couldn’t help but ask Jian Yiling a question:
“By the way, why are your initials F.S?”
“Negative ten.” [1]
Cheng Yi paused for a moment before he thought of something and began to laugh.
“I understand, I understand. When I head back, I will change my initials to X1.”
After Cheng Yi understood what Jian Yiling meant, he kept thinking about creating new initials for himself.
Cheng Yi dropped Jian Yiling off at the school. When he saw her enter the school, he was about to turn his car around to leave.
However, a director recognized the vehicle that Cheng Yi was driving. He hurried over to talk to him.
“Dr. Cheng!” the director cried out in enthusiasm. His voice sounded incredibly excited yet courteous at the same time.
The director recognized Cheng Yi as he had been selected to participate in a new clinical trial at the Huiling Medical Research Institution a year ago.
Due to this reason, he had the opportunity to get in touch with people who worked at the Huiling Medical Research Institution. Of course, this included Cheng Yi.
The director had profound respect for everyone who worked at the institution.
Not to mention, he might also become sick in the future, and as such, he may also have to ask the Huiling Medical Research Institution for help.
Thus, there was nothing that could go wrong if he were to interact with someone who worked at the institution a bit more.
Cheng Yi rolled down the car window. As a habit, he pushed his glasses up with his right hand before he looked at the director. He smiled politely, yet there was a certain distance that was maintained. “Teacher Li.”
“Dr. Cheng. You still remember me! What an honor!”
The director’s smile filled his entire face. He was especially happy because Cheng Yi remembered his name.
However, the reason why Cheng Yi remembered the director was simply because he had a good memory. It wasn’t because there was something special about the director that left a deep impression on him.
The director attempted to continue the conversation, “Dr. Cheng, why did you come to Shenghua High School? Is there something you need? If so, just ask me. There is no one more familiar with the school than me!”
It was natural for the director to be familiar with everything in the school.
Originally, Cheng Yi didn’t want to deal with the director. However, after thinking for a moment, Cheng Yi became curious about Jian Yiling.
“Do you know a girl called Jian Yiling?”
“Dr. Cheng, why did you mention her?” The smile of the director’s face faded quite a bit when Jian Yiling was mentioned.
Jian Yiling was the disgrace of their school. As the director, he wished that outsiders would talk about the good aspects instead of asking about a bad student.
“What’s wrong with her?” Cheng Yi asked. He narrowed his eyes as the director’s reaction was different from what he had initially expected.
“She… There’s not much. However, her results are not so good.”
[1] Negative ten is Fu Shi in Chinese.
