Chapter 954 The Amazing Ticket
Not many students would be able to sit in the first few rows, let alone a freshman like Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan gave a faint reply. “Oh.”
Qiao Nan could tell that the seat stated on her ticket was odd. She did not feel like sitting there. Therefore, she tried to confirm with Zou Wenxuan.
“Alright, you can sit next to me.” Zou Wenxuan led Qiao Nan to her seat and sat down. At least, she took care of Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan was particularly good-tempered. “Thank you, senior.” It was better to sit next to Zou Wenxuan than to sit in the first row. “Senior Zou, look, that is Vice President Xu.” Speak of the devil. But why was she so late?
“Xu Shengnan, over here.” Zou Wenxuan was very gracious. Since there was a seat next to Qiao Nan, Zou Wenxuan motioned for Xu Shengnan to the seat. She was not worried that a bad-tempered Xu Shengnan would quarrel with her now that they were in close proximity
In Zou Wenxuan’s opinion, instead of letting Xu Shengnan sit elsewhere and have the chance to talk to the senior to get the sponsors.h.i.+p, she would rather put Xu Shengnan near her, keeping a watch on her.
Since she could keep a tight watch on Xu Shengnan, she would not be able to do anything without her knowing.
“Zou Wenxuan? Qiao Nan!” Xu Shengnan was not surprised at seeing the nuisance Zou Wenxuan. Xu Shengnan was surprised that Qiao Nan sat next to Zou Wenxuan. She thought that Qiao Nan was hiding somewhere and would not be coming.
It was strange that Xu Shengnan and Zou Wenxuan had been thinking of the same thing right now.
Two people who were usually at odds with each other had the tacit understanding to sit together. “Qiao Nan, can you get up so that I can sit beside Zou Wenxuan? I have some matters to discuss with her. It is difficult with you in between us. She could keep a close watch on Zou Wenxuan when she was just by her side. She was confident about discussing the sponsors.h.i.+p with the senior before Zou Wenxuan could.
She had to strike first and gain the upper hand.
“Okay.” Qiao Nan was not worried that Zou Wenxuan and Xu Shengnan were keeping a watch on each other. She gave up her original seat so that they could sit side by side.
Zou Wenxuan smiled. “Yes, I happen to have something to talk to your vice president.” Apart from having a sharp tongue, Xu Shengnan was physically strong.
If Xu Shengnan thought that she would be able to overpower her and hold her back from talking to the senior about the sponsors.h.i.+p, she was terribly wrong.
If Xu Shengnan dared to do so, she would make her suffer a terrible defeat on the spot.
Qiao Nan, who had sat on the side, could clearly sense the tension between Zou Wenxuan and Xu Shengnan. Sparks seemed to be flying between them. Qiao Nan could only gape in shock.
Her two seniors seemed to be shooting darts from their eyes.
“Zou Wenxuan, do give me your comments and suggestions.”
“Rest a.s.sured. I will definitely do so!”
Thereafter, they turned to the opposite side, not facing each other.
Xu Shengnan finally had the time to talk to Qiao Nan. “Qiao Nan, where have you been?”
“Vice President Xu, didn’t you tell me to come here?” Qiao Nan blinked. She was being very obedient. Even though she heard of the friends.h.i.+p between Senior Zou and Senior Gao, and that she had zero hope of completing her task, she still turned up for the talk. Qiao Nan admired herself for that.
“Yes, I wanted you to come, but didn’t I tell you to wait for me while I get someone to pa.s.s you the ticket? Why did you run away? I almost thought that you wouldn’t make it in time! Forget it. Nevertheless, you were earlier than me.” Xu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, she thought that she was alone and had decided to give it her best shot. Now, she felt more a.s.sured since she had an ally.
Xu Shengnan took out a ticket from her bag, disbelief in her tone as she said, “Zou Wenxuan, I am your cla.s.smate for more than two years. This is the first time I realized that you have some positive traits. Thank you for giving Qiao Nan the ticket. However, Qiao Nan is a member of our club. If she needs a ticket, we will settle it for her. I will return the ticket to you.”
She would not allow Qiao Nan to owe Zou Wenxuan a favor.
Zou Wenxuan was scheming. She was good at making use of other people’s sympathy.
What if Qiao Nan took the ticket that Zou Wenxuan gave her and turned softhearted when she was in front of the senior and thus did not try her best to request for sponsors.h.i.+p?
She had already prepared a ticket for Qiao Nan. She had to return the ticket to Zou Wenxuan so that things would not turn ugly later.
Qiao Nan and Zou Wenxuan were stunned momentarily.
Zou Wenxuan frowned and looked at Xu Shengnan. “Are you kidding? You should know how difficult it is to get a ticket to Senior Gao’s talk. Do you think I am stupid?” She would not have an extra ticket or lend it to people on her opposing side.
When did she become such a nice person in Xu Shengnan’s eyes?
“Qiao Nan came in with her own ticket. Didn’t you give Qiao Nan the ticket?” It was good enough to be able to secure a ticket, and it was proof of Xu Shengnan’s ability. She found it perplexing that Xu Shengnan would get a first-row seat for Qiao Nan. It was specially reserved for important figures.
How did Xu Shengnan manage to get the tickets? If one really sat according to the a.s.signed seat, Xu Shengnan must have been very lucky to get such tickets.
They had been cla.s.smates for more than two years. Zou Wenxuan knew Xu Shengnan very well.
Xu Shengnan was able to get the tickets, but she was not capable of getting first row seats.
Zou Wenxuan finally felt a.s.sured when they found seats randomly and did not go according to the seats printed on the ticket. She thought that since one did not need to sit accordingly, the tickets must have been given randomly regardless of the seats.
Now that Xu Shengnan brought it up, Zou Wenxuan felt doubtful again. “Qiao Nan, where did you get the ticket?”
“Vice President Xu gave it to me,” Qiao Nan said innocently.
“No, your ticket is still with me. I told someone to pa.s.s it to you, but the person could not find you. They told me that you had left. The person had no choice but to return it to me.” Xu Shengnan waved the ticket in her hand. She had prepared a ticket for Qiao Nan, but the person did not pa.s.s it to her in time.
“Impossible. The ticket is with me.” Qiao Nan waved her ticket as well.
“This ticket is not mine.” Xu Shengnan did not know whether to cry or laugh. Even if Qiao Nan had a ticket with her, it was not the ticket that she had got for Qiao Nan. That ticket was still with her.
