From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 58: Research Institution (1)

“Professor, don’t worry. He shouldn’t break his promise. He doesn’t seem like someone who would go back on his words.”

“I don’t know. I’m just afraid that someone will steal our talent from us,” the professor commented. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Other medical institutions would also want to absorb such talent.

Therefore, they must act first. If they could get in touch, they would want to get the contract signed as soon as possible.

This was the safest and most secure way.

“Okay, I know. I’ll maintain contact with him.” Cheng Yi was also quite curious about this Dr. F.S.

He had seen the report that Dr. F.S had published on SCI. He wanted to ask for advice and discuss certain topics.

On Monday afternoon, after Jian Yiling ate lunch, she asked the teacher for leave. She told the teacher she had a stomachache and went to the infirmary.

However, she didn’t stay at the infirmary for long. Jian Yiling took an absence slip from school and left.

She took a bus from the school gates. Along the way, she had to switch buses.

The Huiling Research Institution was situated in a rather remote area in Hengyuan City. It was at the terminal stop of route 716.

When there were two or three stops left, there were only two people left on the bus. One was Jian Yiling, and the other was a middle-aged woman.

The woman’s eyes were flushed red and it appeared as though she had many things on her mind.

When they reached the terminal stop, the woman and Jian Yiling both got off the bus.

As soon as she got off the bus, the woman hurried towards the entrance of the institution.

The gate was a high-security electronic alloy door. The woman hesitated at the door for a long time but she couldn’t open the door.

Thus, the woman began to hit the door as she yelled loudly:

“Please, I’m begging you! The hospital said you guys made a special medicine that can save my husband. Please! I’m begging you. Please save my husband’s life!”

The woman shouting became louder and louder. Tears streamed down her face as she yelled.

The woman was making a little too much noise. The security guard came out to try to stop her.

“Madam, please calm down. If you have any questions or issues, you can submit an application to the website of our institution. After filling in the relevant patient information, the institution will filter through the applications. If your husband meets the requirements, our institution will contact you.”

“Don’t lie to me! I submitted the application over a month ago! No one answered! My husband is about to die! And you’re still asking me to wait! Are you asking me to wait until he dies?!”

“Madam, please calm down. If your husband is not selected, that may be because your husband’s condition is not suitable for the new drug that is still in its clinical trials.”

“You’re lying! What do you mean not suitable? You just think that we have no money! That’s the reason why you refuse to give us medicine! You’ve given all the medicine to those rich people!”

The woman refused to listen to the security guard’s words. She was focused on the fact that the institute refused to give her the medicine because they couldn’t afford it.

The security guard looked quite helpless, “Madam, that’s really not the case. If your husband doesn’t meet the requirements, we can’t give him the wrong medicine.”

Suddenly, the woman decided to lie down on the ground. “I’m not going anywhere. If you don’t give me the medicine, I’ll die at the gates of your institution. I’ll let everyone see what sort of institution you are! You guys lack conscience and make people die!”

The security guard couldn’t do anything. He had no choice but to let the woman lie on the ground.

He had seen a lot of people come to the medical institution and act this way. It had become a norm for him.

Jian Yiling walked around the woman and walked towards the door.

The security guard stepped forward to stop her, “Little girl, you should be at school. Don’t come and cause trouble like your mother is.”

The security guard had mistaken the relationship Jian Yiling had with the woman.
