From Sidekick to Bigshot Novel - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: Results of Monthly Exams (1)
Once Cheng Yi accepted the case, the staff of the research institution contacted Qin Chuan and the hospital where Qin Chuan’s mother was hospitalized.
At this time, Qin Chuan was sitting on the bus. He had just left the research institution.
When he received the call, he was stunned for a moment.
“Mr. Qin, are you listening?”
“Ahh, yes. Please go ahead.” Qin Chuan replied. He quickly regained his train of thought. His emotions made his voice quiver a little.
“We need to transfer your mother over to our institution. Please arrange the documents for the patient’s transfer and related surgery to be completed as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Mr. Qin, do you have any other questions? If not, we’ll contact you again once your mother is transferred over.”
“May I ask a question?”
“Please go ahead.”
“Why did you suddenly agree to take on my mother’s case?”
“My apologies. I can not answer that question. I’m only in charge of contacting you. As for why we took on your mother’s case, that was decided by the researchers at our institution. As a result, I don’t have an answer to your question.”
“I understand. Thank you.”
After he hung up the phone, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but wonder why the institution suddenly agreed to take on his mother’s case.
As he thought about this question, an image floated into his mind. It was the scene where he had met Jian Yiling at the entrance of the institution.
However, Qin Chuan couldn’t figure out the connection between the two events.
The Huiling Medical Research Institution didn’t oblige to any financial groups. Even the Jian and Yu families could not influence the arrangements inside the institution.
If that was the case, then how would Jian Yiling be able to influence the institution’s decisions?

On Monday, Jian Yiling went to school as usual.
As soon as she arrived in the classroom, she noticed that Hu Jiaojiao looked incredibly nervous.
“Yiling, it’s doomed. It’s so so so doomed… The results for the monthly exams are coming out today!” Hu Jiaojiao cried out. This was a tragedy for her.
When she hadn’t received her results, Hu Jiaojiao could lie to herself. She could tell herself that everything was okay. However, once she received her results, she had to face reality.
Hu Jiaojiao continued to cry and complain for a long period of time. However, she still couldn’t avoid the inevitable.
The exam papers were handed out, one by one.
Hu Jiaojiao’s heart wept as she saw her marks. She had failed every subject.
“The wind and snow are cold… My heart is tired and dead…”
Hu Jiaojiao howled out in grief as she collapsed onto her desk.
After howling for a while, she mentally cheered herself up and turned around to look at Jian Yiling’s papers.
Mathematics: 90 out of 150
English: 90 out of 150
Physics: 72 out of 120
Chemistry: 60 out of 100
…
…
She had managed to scrape a pass in her subjects. No more, no less.
However, she had managed to not fail! A pass was a pass! It didn’t matter how close it was!
Hu Jiaojiao was quite surprised and envious at the same time: “Yiling, who did you pray to before the exam? How did you manage to pass every single subject?”
Before the exam, Hu Jiaojiao had told Jian Yiling to try her best to pass every single exam.
However, she hadn’t expected Jian Yiling to actually pass.
Furthermore, all her marks had just scraped past the finishing line.
“You told me to try my best to pass,” Jian Yiling replied.
“Uh…” Hu Jiaojiao started before she trailed off. She realized that she couldn’t say anything else.
She had indeed said that. She said that they should have aspirations and goals! What if some deities from above saw their pleads and helped them achieve a pass?
However, the deities had helped Jian Yiling and not her!
Hu Jiaojiao’s heart ached even more.
Then, Hu Jiaojiao took a look at Jian Yiling’s marks once again. She had scored 96 in Chinese! It was 6 marks higher than the score they needed to pass.
That subject had been Jian Yiling’s only mistake. She had been able to accurately estimate her results for science and maths. However, she hadn’t been able to estimate her results for Chinese.
