Chapter 64: Gift (1)   The director wasn’t dumb enough to tell outsiders about the scandals that happened within the school. However, this wasn’t because he cared about Jian Yiling’s reputation, but rather, he didn’t want to lose face.

Results are not so good?

Cheng Yi thought about his shocking experience in the afternoon.

And the director had told him that Jian Yiling’s results weren’t that great?

Did that mean there was more than one ‘negative ten’ at Shenghua High School?

The surname Jian wasn’t that common. Furthermore, the name Yiling wasn’t that common either.

Cheng Yi’s expression remained calm and collected. He continued to inquire about the situation with the director, “Oh? Results aren’t that great? It sounds like her results are awful or something?”

“Isn’t that so? She’s almost last in the whole year! There were also numerous subjects that she had failed last month! Ahhh!” The director sighed. He shook his head and had an expression of resent and impatience.

Cheng Yi’s eyes narrowed. “Director, you seem quite concerned with this student’s grades.”

In general, it would make sense if Jian Yiling’s teacher described her grades in that way.

However, the director had to monitor the entire school. He wasn’t just there to look at the students’ academic performance.

And even if Jian Yiling’s grades were poor, he shouldn’t be that concerned right?

The director quickly explained, “This student is quite troublesome. That’s why I pay a bit more attention to her.”

“Troublesome?”

“Yep. She’s a problematic child. When we get these students at our school, we are quite helpless as well.” The director continued. “Oh, by the way, why did you ask about her? Do you know her?”

Cheng Yi smiled softly before replying, “I probably don’t know the Jian Yiling you’re talking about. However, thank you Teacher Li for telling me this.”

“You’re welcome. You’re too polite Dr. Cheng. This doesn’t mean anything. Ask me anything you want to know. I’ll tell you everything that I know.”

“Okay. Thank you. However, I still have things to do back at the institution. I won’t bother Teacher Li anymore.”

“Yes, yes. I won’t interrupt you any further Dr. Cheng.”

The director stepped back a bit and watched Cheng Yi drive off.

While he watched the vehicle leave, the director couldn’t help but hope for Shenghua High School’s students to become excellent researchers like Dr. Cheng.

If that were the case, a director like him would also feel the honor and glory.

Not long after Jian Yiling entered the school, it was time for the students to be dismissed for hometime. As usual, Jian Yiling walked out of the campus and got into the car that her grandma came to pick her up with.

Grandma Jian could easily have asked the chauffeur to pick Jian Yiling up. However, she insisted on coming every day. For the period Jian Yiling stayed at the Old Jian Residence, she wanted to spend more time with her beloved granddaughter.

When Grandma Jian was in the car, there was never a shortage of snacks.

According to Grandma Jian, after a whole day of studying and heavy mental activities, one’s energy levels would be low. At this time, it was easy to be hungry.

“When we pass the Jian Residence, stop for a bit.”

It was rare that Jian Yiling made a request to Grandma Jian. It turned out that she wanted to go back to where she had initially lived.

They indeed passed by the Jian Residence on their way back to the Old Jian Residence.

Grandma Jian was a little surprised. However, at the same time, she was also a little worried.

Once they reached the Jian Residence, Grandma Jian asked the chauffeur to stop by the road.

“Darling, do you need to get anything? Do you want granny to go with you?” Grandma Jian asked Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling shook her head and replied, “It’ll be quick.”

After she said that, Jian Yiling took out a paper bag from her backpack that she had prepared in advance. Following that, she ran to the door of the Jian Residence.
