From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 62: Research Institution (5)

Jian Yiling continued to speak, “Furthermore, I can only come here two days of the week. I’ll be starting next month as well.”

This month, she had tutoring on the weekends.

Once tutoring stopped, she could come on the weekends.

However, it was limited to those days.

“Why?” Professor Xu asked in a hurry.

It took them all this effort to find such a prodigy. Professor Xu had naturally hoped that she could start researching with them immediately.

“I need to attend school,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Attend school?” Professor Xu asked. His voice became a higher pitch as he continued, “Why do you need to go to school? What can high school teach you? This is such a waste...”

Professor Xu couldn’t bear this happening. It was such a waste for a genius like Jian Yiling to squander her days reading a textbook at an ordinary high school.

If she had that time, wouldn’t it be better for her to research at the institution?

If she had that time, they could be discussing the development of new medicine. Wouldn’t that be wiser?

“I want to attend school.” Jian Yiling was firm in her attitude. “I will communicate with you online if needed. Furthermore, I will start next month. If you can’t agree with this, I won’t come.”

When Professor Xu heard Jian Yiling say that she might not come, he began to feel anxious.

How could she not come? Such a prodigy must come!

Professor Xu looked at Jian Yiling. As she still had that firm expression on her face, he felt depressed and helpless for a moment.

“Okay, okay. That’s fine. If it’s just the weekends, let it be.”

Professor Xu was afraid that if he didn’t agree, she would just runoff.

After thinking about it for a while, Professor Xu realized that two days a week was better than nothing!

Today was still a day to be celebrated.

“If you don’t have any other conditions or requirements, let’s sign the contract today! I’ll ask someone to prepare the contract immediately!”

Professor Xu wanted to make sure nothing happened. Delays could cause trouble to arise.

“Teacher, she is under sixteen years old. She has to get her parents to sign the contract.” Cheng Yi reminded.

“Oh, that’s right!” Professor Xu replied. He had forgotten that that was an issue.

This was the first time that the institution was recruiting someone under the age of sixteen.

After thinking about it for a moment, Professor Xu turned around and told Jian Yiling, “There are two possible solutions. The first is you bring your guardians over and ask them to sign the contract. The second is I create a special contract with you. Although this contract doesn’t have any legal consequences, it is credible in the medical industry. If you are to break the agreement, you will no longer be able to have a foothold in the industry in the future.”

The role of the contract was to be restrictive. It didn’t matter if the contract didn’t have legal consequences. It was more important to ensure the relationship between them.

“I’ll sign the contract.” Jian Yiling chose the latter without any hesitation.

“Okay. I’ll ask the legal department to draw up an exclusive contract. When do you have time to come back? Never mind. Don’t come by yourself anymore. I think we should come over and find you instead.”

Professor Xu took a look at Jian Yiling’s small stature. He felt that it was inconvenient for her to come all this way and it’d be more appropriate for them to go and find her.

“This weekend,” Jian Yiling replied.

She had already skipped class for half a day. It was better for her to not skip any more classes this week.

Hearing this answer, Professor Xu couldn’t help but sound like a broken record, “That school of yours has to take five days of your week. And this institution can only take two...”

As Cheng Yi listened to him on the side, he couldn’t help but feel that his teacher had become a jealous woman.

Was this the feeling of a concubine in the palace?
