When Xie Li entered, the young man in charge of reception smiled and said, "Are you Miss Xie? Professor Gu instructed that you please wait in the quiet room here for a moment. Mr. Wen will be here shortly."

"Mr. Wen?" Xie Li found the title rather strange.

Wasn't Professor Gu personally teaching her? How come Mr. Wen suddenly appeared?

The young man glanced at Xie Li. The girl was pretty, with clear, bright eyes that made her look obedient and gentle.

He couldn't help but add, "Professor Gu is extremely busy and can't come in person. Teacher Wen is his prized student, very capable, and it's just as good as having him teach you."

In reality, Professor Gu never intended to come in person.

He's so old and highly respected; why would he personally teach an illiterate little girl?

If Xie Li is so bad that he's completely hopeless, wouldn't that drive the old man crazy?

Xie Li nodded, not thinking much of it, and sat quietly in the quiet room, flipping through his textbook.

After reading a few pages, I started to get a little bored, so I took out a test paper and started doing practice questions.

Outside, a young man hurriedly walked into the shop. Just as he was about to push open the door to the quiet room, his gaze swept over the figure inside the glass wall, and his eyes narrowed.

Upon seeing him, the deliveryman hurried over: "Mr. Wen, you've arrived! Miss Xie has been waiting..."

Wen Ling's expression turned slightly cold. "Miss Xie? She's the student who needs tutoring?"

He truly hadn't expected that the student Professor Gu had asked him to tutor would be Xie Li!

In that instant, Wenling's anger ignited, and he turned and left.

Making him tutor Xie Li is worse than letting him die!

Do the Xie family really think they can do whatever they want with a few dirty bucks? They know perfectly well that he has strict requirements for accepting students, and only accepts top students.

They actually had his teacher call him to pressure him to come over, thinking that this would make him give in?

The young man looked blankly as Wenling walked out with a cold expression, not knowing what had happened.

Instead, a gentle female voice called out to Wenling from the doorway: "Teacher Wen, what's wrong?"

Wenling paused slightly, then turned around and saw Ming Xiaoxiao holding books, standing by the flower bed next to her, with a hint of worry on her face.

His expression softened without him realizing it, and he walked over: "Xiaoxiao, what brings you here?"

Speaking of which, Ming Xiaoxiao hasn't come over for a while.

Wenling understood, since almost the entire school knew that she was going to participate in the Linjiang No.1 Middle School Encyclopedia King Challenge, and she had been busy preparing for the exam recently.

Ming Xiaoxiao bit her lip, a hint of stubbornness in her expression: "...Teacher, my grandma's illness has flared up again."

Wenling fell silent. Ming Xiaoxiao's family was in financial difficulty, so her grandmother came to Linjiang City to accompany her to study. However, the old lady was in poor health and had been suffering from angina, requiring her to take medication regularly.

Although Ming Xiaoxiao was sponsored by the Spring Bud Project and didn't have to worry about tuition and living expenses, Grandma Ming's illness required money for treatment.

This is also why Ming Xiaoxiao needs to work.

Wenling admired Ming Xiaoxiao's spirit of self-reliance and once promised that Ming Xiaoxiao could work part-time at this teahouse whenever she needed money.

Anyway, her portion of her salary was subsidized by him from his own pocket to support the teahouse.

The fact that Ming Xiaoxiao has to work part-time at the teahouse despite being so busy shows that she is really struggling financially.

Wen Ling frowned. His salary was very high. He was specially hired by Linjiang No. 1 Middle School and received the highest salary, which was enough to solve all of Ming Xiaoxiao's troubles.
