Before I could finish my thought, I heard a young teacher from the exchange group ask anxiously, "Where's Xie Li from your school? Why wasn't she scheduled to come today?"

As expected! Wen Ling sneered inwardly and glanced at Zhang Yingyuan.

Zhang Yingyuan was somewhat embarrassed. Wenling had previously said that he would not recommend Xie Li, and he had actually already crossed Xie Li's name off the list of people to exchange ideas.

After all, he knew Wenling's personality: serious, cautious, and meticulous, but also extremely arrogant.

Asking to meet the student he had personally denied in front of him was somewhat of a slap in the face to Wenling.

He explained in a low voice, "The teacher said that no matter what, we should see Xie Li in person. It doesn't mean anything."

He actually felt that there was nothing wrong with meeting Xie Li. Xie Li's character was so despicable, and he was also extremely arrogant. Meeting him would definitely expose many of his problems.

Wen Ling suppressed his anger and said calmly, "I'm sorry, this person wasn't on my contact list in the first place."

The words were spoken rather bluntly, and the young teacher frowned, somewhat displeased.

This concerns the selection and recommendation of talent for the nation and the capital university. To just brush it off with a single sentence seems rather frivolous.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Ming Xiaoxiao's weak voice: "Um, teacher, it seems that Xie Li went to the capital."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Ming Xiaoxiao smiled a little shyly.

"I heard from a classmate that Xie Li is going to Beijing for two days this weekend..."

The young teacher was immediately disappointed. He really wanted to see what the person who ranked first in the ten-school joint exam looked like!

Furthermore, she even completed the Encyclopedia King challenge at SSS difficulty, demonstrating her vast knowledge and wide range of interests.

Such well-rounded talents, if properly nurtured, have a truly promising future.

Wenling remained silent with a sullen face, observing the behavior of the teachers with a chill in his heart.

At the same time, his conviction grew stronger: he absolutely could not allow someone as unscrupulous as Xie Li to obtain higher learning resources and academic achievements!

In academia, Xie Li deserves to be banished forever!

Just then, I suddenly heard Ming Xiaoxiao's voice again, "Oh my god, Teacher Wen, Xie Li is in trouble again! Quick, check Weibo!"

Wen Ling was taken aback. He didn't want to pay attention to anything concerning Xie Li, but seeing Ming Xiaoxiao's anxious expression, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

He reached out and took the phone from Ming Xiaoxiao. After opening it, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and in the end, he could hardly hide the mockery and sneer in his eyes.

"What happened?" Zhang Yingyuan asked instinctively.

After all, Xie Li was someone the dean specifically wanted to pay close attention to, so he had to learn more about him so he could report back to the dean.

Wenling handed him the phone, her expression indifferent. "It's nothing, it just made it to the trending topics."

He didn't offer much explanation, leaving everything to Zhang Yingyuan and the others to decide for themselves.

The teachers had all seen a lot, so after reading this exposé, although they were greatly shocked, none of them rushed to draw conclusions.

Only Ming Xiaoxiao was worried: "Teacher, could someone be trying to harm Xie Li? Their fan circles are terrifying. Xie Li participated in a program recording yesterday, so he might have offended someone's fans..."

As they were talking, Wenling's phone rang. He quickly answered it and then announced to everyone:

"Someone filed a formal complaint with the Linjiang Education Association, suspecting that Xie Li cheated in the entrance exam, the encyclopedia challenge, and the ten-school joint exam."

The seriousness of this matter far exceeded Zhang Yingyuan and his team's expectations, leaving everyone stunned.
