At the thought of this, Meng Xiaowan smiled and politely pulled away her hand. She smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Li. If there’s anything, let’s talk here. I have some urgent matters to attend to later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a look of disappointment flashed across Ms. Li’s face. She immediately let go and said with a smile, “Heh, you see, I was indeed a little rude.”

When Chen Li saw that the two of them had let go of each other, the worry in her heart did not diminish. However, she did not say anything to interfere with Meng Xiaowan’s decision.

Ms. Li took a glance at Chen Li then looked at Xiaowan and continued. “Ha, since Xiaowan has something urgent to attend to, I’ll make it short. It’s like this, when I saw your performance during the competition, I really admired you. I’m a straightforward person and will say anything directly. So, I’m here to invite you to join my class and take me as your teacher. Don’t worry, in the current grade, my craftsmanship is the best. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to be the judge for the evaluation.”

At this point, Ms. Li smirked and glanced at Chen Li.

Her eyes were filled with a sense of self-satisfaction.

When Chen Li heard this, her heart tightened. When her gaze met Ms. Li’s, she subconsciously lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip.

This was a clear sign of her inferiority complex. She stood there without any confidence to persuade Meng Xiaowan to stay!

How could she, Chen Li, compare to Ms. Li!

Ms. Li’s qualifications and craftsmanship far surpassed hers. Even her students had become internationally renowned designers.

The chances of swapping teachers in this way were especially slim. In Qing Cheng University, there were very few precedents of such cases. If they wanted to swap teachers, they had to get the approval of the school leaders.

However, Ms. Li was the only one who did not need to do so. She was simply too amazing and had too much experience. Even the school’s leaders had to nod and greet her first.

So as long as Ms. Li agreed, she could do the swap.

Previously, the students were the ones who begged to be swapped. In the end, they still needed Ms. Li’s approval. But now…

Chen Li looked up at Meng Xiaowan’s side view.

There was no expression on her face.

Looking at her expression, Chen Li had no idea what Xiaowan was thinking.

“Xiaowan, will you agree?”

“As your teacher, standing from your point of view, I hope that you can follow Ms. Li. Her skills, resources, and qualifications are beyond my capabilities.”

“However, from my point of view, I don’t want you to leave. You are my hard work over the years. You are about to graduate. I really don’t want you to be snatched away by others.”

“So, Xiaowan, what would you choose?” She thought to herself.

At the same time, Ms. Li thought to herself, “Meng Xiaowan? You genius! You must be mine!”

“I have never taken the initiative to invite a student to become my disciple. You are the first!”

“And I am also the first teacher to realize that you are a genius!”

“Be it my qualifications, craftsmanship or my connections in the industry, I am the best in this school. Everyone is fighting to become my student. You are definitely no exception!”

“I didn’t even know how a teacher with skills like Chen Li entered this school. How could such a person be a teacher and even have a genius like you!”

“As long as you become my disciple, I will train you to become the most awesome designer in the country. By then, my reputation will be even better. As your teacher, my career will be even more smooth sailing.”

“This is a win-win situation. Meng Xiaowan, any smart person would choose to agree. I have already lowered myself to invite you. You will definitely agree!”

“Who am I?”

“I’m Ms. Li! I’m the best teacher in the school. Even the school leaders have to bow to me when they see me. They’re afraid that I’ll go to another school to further my studies! It’s impossible that you don’t know about this in the four years you’ve been in school.”

“So Meng Xiaowan, I can’t wait for your reply.”

At this moment, an imperceptible coldness flashed across Meng Xiaowan’s expressionless face.

Under Chen Li’s worry and Ms. Li’s expectations, Meng Xiaowan finally spoke, “Ms. Li, I think my impatience and attitude towards the competition makes me unqualified to be your student. You are the best teacher in the school. The gap between us is too big. I am not worthy.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the weight in Chen Li’s heart was instantly relieved, but what came next was a surprise!

How could Meng Xiaowan let go of this opportunity?!

At the same time, Ms. Li’s face, which was full of confidence, instantly drooped down. When she heard what Meng Xiaowan said, she felt as if her face had been slapped hard.

Meng Xiaowan sounded modest!

In reality, wasn’t she mocking her, Ms. Li, for not recognizing good people!

Yes! She did say that at the start of the competition, but she couldn’t be blamed. After all, she had never seen a genius like Meng Xiaowan.. In the end, didn’t she also realize her mistake! She gave Meng Xiaowan full marks! Wasn’t that enough?! Did she have to bow down and admit her mistake?
