Chapter 120: First Day at Work (2)  

Cheng Yi added, “There’s also a common office area. You will be able to communicate and discuss topics and issues over there.”

If Jian Yiling wanted her alone time for thinking, she could stay in her own office and lab.

However, if she wanted to communicate with someone else, she could go and work in the common office area.

When Jian Yiling arrived in the common office area, her desk had already been set up. Her desk was on the right-hand side of Luo Xiuen. It was also seated opposite Cheng Yi.

The desk was clean and tidy. A new computer had been set up. There were also two rows of miniature plushies and anime figurines that had been placed on the desk.

The plushies were placed there by Luo Xiuen.

The anime figurines were from Cheng Yi.

However, Jian Yiling didn’t really care for these cute gifts. Although it was quite nice, she didn’t really like such cute things.

However, it appeared as though she couldn’t escape from the fate of cute and pink stationery, equipment, and decorations. Whether it was her room at the Old Jian Residence or her school bag, they were all pink and cute. And now, her desk even had cute decorations!

As Jian Yiling examined her desk, she noticed that Luo Xiuen’s desk had Jupiter merchandise. Jupiter was a popular boy band.

On the other hand, Cheng Yi had a lot of anime figurines on his desk. He had specifically selected cute figurines for Jian Yiling’s desk. However, the ones on his desk had more distinct features. Quite a few had pearly white skin and long and slim legs.

Jian Yiling sat down on her seat and turned her computer on. She wanted to start working.

Although it was rather exciting to have a new girl join them at their institution, the rest of the researchers knew that they were still in their working hours. The other researchers also quickly entered their state of work.

Jian Yiling opened the system that held applications for their institution.

After she became an official member of the institution, she had the authority to check for information associated with an application.

Inside the system, she saw Qin Chuan’s mother’s application and other medical records.

In the original novel, Qin Chuan’s mother had suffered from a rare blood disease. She had been hospitalized for a long period of time. As a result, Qin Chuan had to work incredibly hard to earn the money that was spent on her hospital bills.

However, his mother did not manage to live to see the day where he succeeded in his career.

This incident had caused a profound impact on Qin Chuan. Later, it caused him to harbor a grudge against his father.

When Jian Yiling looked at Qin Chuan’s mother’s medical records, she noticed that the person of contact had transferred the records to Cheng Yi’s email address. This was done half a month ago. Cheng Yi hadn’t rejected the case.

As Jian Yiling scrolled through the medical records, Luo Xiuen leaned over and asked, “Was that man at the door really your tutor? Does he teach sports?”

“Not sports.”

“Wow, that’s unbelievable.” Luo Xiuen commented. “By the way, what was that man’s name. Let’s look at the medical records that he submitted!”

“Qin Chuan.”

“Wait, why does that name sound so familiar? Cheng Yi, is that a case from your side?” Luo Xiuen asked. She had quite a good memory.

Cheng Yi stood up and replied, “Yeah, it’s one of my cases. I’m holding onto it.”

“Holding onto it? Does that mean you want to take it on?” Luo Xiuen asked.

Usually, applications that didn’t add any value would be straight up rejected. However, as they had retained the application, there was the possibility of taking it on.

Cheng Yi replied, “Yeah. I want to take this case. I’m very interested in that particular blood disorder. I feel like the study of this case will help me achieve a major breakthrough in my research. However, I have another case on my hands right now. I have to finish this case first. When I’m finished, I’ll take on that other case.”
