Every time he left Ming Xiaoxiao with a difficult problem, he would always get a very satisfactory answer the next day. Many of the directions of thought were ones that he had never even thought of before, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

Senior Brother Zhang had naturally seen the test questions and solutions sent by Wenling. The neat and beautiful handwriting on the test paper made it easy for people to develop a good impression of Ming Xiaoxiao, whom Wenling had mentioned.

After learning more about this from Wenling, I admire this hardworking girl even more.

Senior Zhang said with a smile, "Our physics department will be going to the Ten Schools Alliance for an exchange soon, and then we will be able to meet this student, Ming Xiaoxiao."

This is also one of the traditions of Imperial University: if a promising student is found, they can be recruited immediately.

Imperial University is also the assessment and coaching organization for the National Young Talents Program. Those who meet the requirements can be directly included in the program to recruit talent for the country.

Wenling was confident in Ming Xiaoxiao and simply said he looked forward to meeting her next time.

Senior Brother Zhang paused for a moment, then asked about something else, "By the way, Xie Li, the one who cleared the SSS-level difficulty level in the Linjiang No. 1 Middle School Encyclopedia King Challenge last time..."

Wen Ling's relaxed expression instantly tightened, and there was a hint of disgust in his voice that he hadn't noticed.

"Xie Li? I don't know much about him."

Senior Brother Zhang was taken aback, somewhat surprised by Wenling's reaction.

Logically speaking, Wenling is the kind of place that is eager to find talent and especially likes talented students.

If Ming Xiaoxiao can receive such high praise from him, then Xie Li, who cleared the SSS-level difficulty level, should be treated with even more special regard.

"Xie Li's problem-solving approaches are also very interesting..." Senior Brother Zhang paused but continued, "Do you still have any of her usual homework or quiz papers here? Are there any brilliant points in her answering methods?"

Wen Ling flipped through the documents in his hand indifferently: "No." His voice was cold. "Xie Li's performance in class is mediocre."

"I see..." Senior Brother Zhang was somewhat disappointed.

He hadn't watched the day's challenges and didn't know the specifics. He only saw a photo, in which Xie Li's problem-solving approach piqued his interest.

However, he believed Wenling's answer, so he didn't dwell on it too much, only feeling a little regretful.

Wenling paused for a moment, then explained briefly: "This student comes from a well-connected family and likes to use crooked means. He doesn't actually care much about his studies."

Senior Brother Zhang, unsuspecting, smiled and said, "Alright, I was overthinking it. I look forward to Ming Xiaoxiao's performance in this joint exam."

Wenling hung up the phone and turned around to see Ming Xiaoxiao standing at the door, looking at him with a hesitant expression.

Wenling's expression softened. "What's wrong? Come in."

Ming Xiaoxiao: "Teacher Wen, I'm sorry..."

She bit her lower lip, her eyes were wet, and her expression was filled with unease and guilt.

Wenling thought for a while before she understood where her unease came from.

"You're here because of this overnight stay incident?" Wen Ling didn't see anything wrong with it and sneered, "It's all Xie Li and the others framing you!"

“I told you long ago that people like that aren’t worth getting close to, but you still insist on treating her as a friend.”

Ming Xiaoxiao tugged at her clothes, "But it really is my fault, I shouldn't have moved out..."

Wenling disagreed: "You're just trying to make it easier to work and avoid bothering others."

When this news came out, he was also very angry. He knew after a little thought what kind of rumors Ming Xiaoxiao would face.
