The corners of Ms. Li’s mouth twitched. “Xiaowan, this is a rare opportunity. Are you sure you don’t want it? In the end, Ms. Li acknowledged your talent and gave you full marks. If you don’t get full marks, how can you get those credits and scholarships in the future? I feel that you should be grateful. You don’t know how to appreciate others. I’m the best fashion designer teacher in the school. With me, your studies and craftsmanship will definitely have some influence in the country. I’ll only give you one chance to choose.”

Before Meng Xiaowan could say anything, Chen Li held Xiaowan’s wrist and smiled. “Xiaowan, although I can’t bear to part with you, Ms. Li is indeed very outstanding. I believe that she can teach you more things that I can’t. So, you need to consider it seriously.”

No matter how reluctant Chen Li was, in the end, she still hoped that Meng Xiaowan could become more and more outstanding. That was her original intention as a teacher.

At that moment, Meng Xiaowan smirked and said slowly.

“Ms. Li, you’re right. A person should know to be grateful.”

When Ms. Li heard this, she immediately smiled and thought to herself, “This child is quite sensible. She knows when to give in.”

Meng Xiaowan continued. “So, I think that Teacher Chen Li is the most suitable for me. After all, in the past four years, she knew that I was stupid but she never gave up on me. The reason why I am here today is definitely not because of Ms. Li’s help, right?”

Then, she crossed her arms and lifted her chin slightly. She looked down at Ms. Li, who was slightly shorter than her.

“Besides, I don’t have such a grand goal. I’m not very interested in fashion design. This competition is just for fun. I didn’t try my best either. To be able to get full marks, I was also surprised. It turns out that it’s so easy to get first place.”

“Thank you for your invitation, Ms. Li. However, I have something urgent to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” Then, she held Chen Li’s arm and was about to leave.

Hearing that, Chen Li was overjoyed!

She did not dote on this child for nothing!

Upon hearing this, Ms. Li’s smiling face instantly changed. Then, she widened her eyes and pointed at the two of them. “Meng Xiaowan! Do you know how many people dream of this opportunity?! You don’t know what’s good for you! If you follow Chen Li, let’s see what you can do!”

Although Ms. Li was angry, at the same time, she was also flustered!

If Meng Xiaowan could not become her student, Ms. Li would be the one who would suffer more losses!

Without Meng Xiaowan as her disciple, Ms. Li’s reputation is confined within this school. What she wanted was to have a good reputation in the country and even internationally!

Her ambition could not be satisfied with just a good reputation within a school.

As soon as she said that, Meng Xiaowan stopped in her tracks. She let go of Chen Li’s hand and put her hands into her pocket. She turned around and smiled. “Ms. Li, in these few seconds, I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense. If you can be my teacher, I will definitely have a better chance. I can also be your student.”

The moment that was said, Ms. Li immediately calmed down. She smiled and said, “I knew you wouldn’t miss this opportunity! Come, pack your things and come to my class!”

Chen Li, on the other hand, looked at Meng Xiaowan dejectedly without saying a word.

It seemed like Xiaowan was reluctant to give up such a rare opportunity. She, Chen Li, could not compare to Ms. Li.

Although she was disappointed, she would be very happy if Xiaowan became famous after that.

At this moment, Meng Xiaowan spoke again, “Don’t worry, but I have a condition. If you can do it, I’ll be your student.”

At this moment, Ms. Li’s heart was already in turmoil. She thought that she already succeeded. She did not expect that to be her student required conditions. Meng Xiaowan thought too highly of herself.

Even if she was a genius, without her nurturing, she could only be a talent that is undiscovered!

However, if she lost this talent, she would not be considered as someone who can recognize talent. Would she just let this chance slip from her hands?

“That won’t do. My career is more important than my pride.”

“Isn’t it just a condition? What can I not do?! In this school, I call the shots!”

At the thought of this, Ms. Li acted as if she was sputtering and said, “What condition?”

Meng Xiaowan smiled and glanced at Teacher Chen Li. Then, her gaze shifted to Ms. Li. The smile on her face disappeared and a trace of darkness flashed across her clear eyes. Then, she said indifferently,

“That is to admit that Teacher Chen Li is better than you and then sincerely apologize to her.”

“And you have to do it in front of the entire school. Ms. Li can choose whether it’s broadcasting or live streaming. After all, you like to do multiple choice questions.”

Meng Xiaowan said something that went against reality. It was as if she didn’t care at all, or as if she was just stating a fact.

The moment she said that, both Ms.. Li and Chen Li were shocked!
