As Cheyenne’s voice fell, the room quieted once again. They had all forgotten about this layer of relationship. Even in ordinary families, siblings with a good relationship exchanged gifts; giving study materials like books was not a rare occurrence. Cheyenne was indeed the hospital’s director, but she was also Sean’s sister. Knowing that her brother was about to take an exam, it seemed perfectly reasonable for Cheyenne to provide him with some study materials.
Jaelynn suddenly felt as if a fly was stuck in her throat. Her next words were all blocked because of Cheyenne’s comment. However, she was not one to be taken lightly, and she quickly found a new angle to retort on Cheyenne.
“Yes, it’s understandable for a sister to provide study materials to her brother, but the materials you gave him are related to the apprentice exam in three days. This concerns the issue of national civil service positions,” Jaelynn said, feeling increasingly uneasy deep down.
Cheyenne responded with a cold smile, lips slightly parted, revealing her pearly white teeth in a very sweet smile. She showed no fear of Jaelynn’s threat. “Go on, Ms. Weaver, why don’t you continue?”
“I believe you are aware that Sean, along with twenty-nine other interns, is here for an internship. In other words, this place is just one of many internship sites for them. Whether they can stay and work here in the future is uncertain. So even if he performs well here, all I would do is write a commendable or mediocre evaluation in his intern file. How does this relate to the selection of positions?”
Cheyenne did not know who the idiot was that wrote the report letter, but from the moment Jaelynn showed up with this foolish letter to interrogate her, her good impression of Jaelynn was completely ruined.
She continued, “And please, Ms. Weaver, don’t let your age surpass your wisdom. This exam that is coming up is personally organized by me, and students are participating voluntarily. It is not related to any benefits. When I mentioned taking on the top three as apprentices and personally guiding them, it was just a passing thought. If you think there’s an issue with this method, I can easily cancel the exam and all results. I won’t take on any apprentices!”
The statement “won’t take on any” left the interns outside the door stunned in place. They had forgotten that this exam was only announced because their supervising teacher requested Cheyenne’s help.
The greatest benefit was merely becoming her named disciple to study under her guidance, and they had voluntarily chosen to participate in the exam. If they didn’t want to, they could simply skip the exam, as it would not affect their future employment during the internship.
Nevertheless, they should be thankful to Cheyenne for giving them an opportunity to prove their abilities. Now, because of an inexplicable accusation letter, Miss Lawrence was no longer willing to take on apprentices, rendering their efforts over the past three days in vain.
Quinn and Maria were also stunned. They had conspired to push Sean out and have Cheyenne choose a new candidate – likely Quinn as the fourth-placed. Now that their plan had backfired, with Cheyenne no longer accepting apprentices, it meant they had wasted their efforts and even lost the spot Maria had secured.
Compared to his impatience, Maria seemed to not care much about the position, she even comforted her boyfriend Quinn.
“In this world, there is more than one good doctor, Cheyenne not taking us as her apprentices, we can easily go to the capital, the four halls are good places to study, I believe there are many capable senior mentors than Cheyenne.”
“She’s missing out on us, that’s her loss!”
Cain, who was beside them, also overheard their conversation and felt disappointed after hearing about Cheyenne’s decision.
But Cain didn’t harbor any resentment towards anyone because he believed in Miss Lawrence’s character.
Even if he was not selected as her official apprentices, she would still teach them diligently, and he could always ask questions proactively when needed.
Cain was surprised by the sibling relationship between Sean and Cheyenne, as despite being dorm mates for four years, Sean never mentioned having a sister before.
He only knew that Sean had a sister, but she seemed to have suffered from some kind of mental setback.
Sean was not present at the moment, otherwise, Cain would give him a good punch.
Why would he hide such a formidable sister?
Finding the conversation uninteresting, Cain decided it was better to spend time studying to catch up with Miss Lawrence sooner, and so he left, leaving the others waiting for the continuation of the story.
The tension in the meeting room lingered, the battle between Cheyenne and Ms. Weaver shifted from words to silent stares.
Neither willing to back down…
Finally, Cheyenne threw the paper in front of her, along with the lecture notes.
“These lecture notes were just randomly downloaded from the internet, I thought the topics were good at the time so I kept them.”
“Ms. Weaver, if you don’t believe me, you can search online. I believe you are not blind to the point of not being able to read.”
“As for the exam paper, I believe Director Hartman and Soto are both astute. The content in these notes mostly covers outlines and theoretical aspects, but doesn’t give the direct answered to the exam questions.”
“This method is often used in college entrance exams and university exams. Why is it considered playing favorites when it’s used by me?”
When being asked, both Director Hartman and Director Soto pretended to be clueless.
Jaelynn knew she brought these two useless people along just to make up the numbers. It was pointless, she had to handle it herself.
Cheyenne claimed that the questions in the notes were from online sources, and at first, she was doubtful.
With a skeptical attitude, she took a picture and posted it online.
After a quick search, in a certain document repository, an identical exam paper was found, which required payment for download.
Seeing her distressed expression, Cheyenne knew what she was thinking.
