Chapter 61: Research Institution (4)

In the research institution, Professor Xu finally met ‘Dr. F.S’. He had been thinking about meeting him for over half a month.

“Cheng Yi... You... You mean that she... She is Dr. F.S?” Professor Xu stammered out in disbelief.

This year, Professor Xu was turning fifty-three years old. His hair was turning gray and thinning out. Fortunately, the thinning didn’t cause any bald spots.

Cheng Yi solemnly nodded.

That’s right. It’s her.

Professor Xu touched his temple in shock, “I... This...”

At that moment, Professor Xu couldn’t replace a word to describe how he felt.

Cheng Yi quickly poured Professor Xu a glass of water. “Teacher, take it easy. I also took a long time to process this.”

Professor Xu took quite a few sips of water before he gathered his thoughts.

Then, he turned around to ask Cheng Yi, “Are you sure? You didn’t make a mistake right?”

Cheng Yi confidently replied, “Yes, I confirmed it. We talked for a bit as we walked into the institution. Other than the wrong age, everything else is correct.”

There was no impersonation nor misunderstanding. This was the person that they had been looking for. She was the Dr. F.S who they had chatted with for over two weeks on the internet.

Professor Xu had been alive for over half a century. He was a person who had seen much of life.

However, this incident was quite a shock to him. After the initial shock, Professor Xu quickly calmed down.

There are many talented people in the world. You can’t doubt things just because you haven’t seen it before.

He shouldn’t judge someone based on age. Being old doesn’t mean you’re more successful. Likewise, qualifications don’t necessarily prove someone to be right or wrong.

The look in Professor Xu’s eyes changed the next time he looked at Jian Yiling. He felt as though he had won the lottery.

However, he still had to follow the standard procedures. Jian Yiling had to undergo an assessment to further test her abilities and qualifications.

This was similar to a company’s recruitment process. Regardless of who you are, there are multiple assessments to do.

The screening at their research institution was much stricter than an ordinary company’s.

There were complete sets of tests, practical assessments and experiments to be done.

The entire process typically takes around four to five hours. However, Jian Yiling finished everything in two hours and eight minutes.

After a few examinations, Professor Xu was incredibly excited. He was about to jump up and down out of pure happiness.

“Good! Good! This is great! You’re the talent that we need at our institution! I sincerely invite you to join us!”

Professor Xu presented Jian Yiling a formal invitation.

Cheng Yi was also incredibly happy. “That means that we will be working with another lovely girl!”

There were only two women in total working at the Huiling Medical Research Institution.

One of them was working in administration. She couldn’t be counted as one of the researchers.

And the other... Was only considered female because of her gender.

If Jian Yiling were to join them, she’d be the first real girl to join their research institution.

Professor Xu continued talking, “You can open up whatever conditions you want. The salary here is incredibly good. The equipment at our institute is also one of the best in the world.”

The selection criteria of Huiling Medical Research Institution was incredibly demanding. There were only a few people that were selected.

As long as they were selected, any salary requirements could be met.

“I don’t need any special conditions. The only requirement is that you will have to provide me with all the equipment and relevant qualifications that I need.”

Jian Yiling wasn’t too interested in the salary.

The salary wasn’t the reason that she applied to the research institution.

“Definitely! That’s not a problem!” Professor Xu quickly agreed to her conditions. To the research institution, her conditions weren’t a problem at all.
