Chapter 969 An Angel-Like Junior
“Since last year, many people had been spreading the news in the school that our new English club is going to be dissolved. Thereafter, the school conducted a meeting to discuss this seriously and decided on it. When I received the news, I rushed over alone!”
She would not concede defeat. She felt unjustified that the new English club could not succeed. She could not take it lying down that the club would cease to exist in this way.
Heaven was fair. In her most difficult times, when the new English club could not continue further, it sent Qiao Nan to her.
“You may not know. You are becoming increasingly famous in Peking University.” Xu Shengnan poured a cup of tea for Qiao Nan. She said it with such complacency as if she and not Qiao Nan was the one who became famous overnight.
“…” Qiao Nan blinked, feeling puzzled. “Why am I becoming increasingly famous? The matter about the thread has already been clarified, right? Have there been more adverse rumors about me recently?” Lü Yan posted false threads about her again, didn’t she?
“Don’t be nervous.” Xu Shengnan shook her head. “I have heard about the matter regarding the thread. That made you infamous. This time, you are famous for the right things. Because of you, the new English club has been saved. How can you not become famous?”
At the thought of the kept woman scandal, Xu Shengnan felt quite guilty.
Judging from Qiao Nan’s appearance, Xu Shengnan had been cla.s.sifying Qiao Nan as the type of person that was similar to Zou Wenxuan. She thus did not see eye to eye with Qiao Nan.
After the kept woman scandal surfaced, Xu Shengnan was so furious that she had thought of kicking Qiao Nan out of the new English club.
The new English club was already having great difficulty starting out in Peking University. If not for her hard work, it would not even exist this year. The situation of the new English club was already so terrible. With a secretary like Qiao Nan, it would simply aggravate the situation.
Although she did not expect Qiao Nan to give or be of much help to the new English club, Qiao Nan should not cause them trouble either.
Fortunately, the president insisted and told Xu Shengnan calmly that the thread might be untrue. It was highly possible that someone was spreading false rumors.
As third-year students, this was not their first time encountering such matters.
Xu Shengnan should not vent her frustration on Qiao Nan about the impending dissolution of the new English club by the school.
At this point in time, Xu Shengnan was very grateful that fortunately, the club president was very calm and managed to persuade her back then.
Otherwise, she would have pushed away the chance for the new English club to get a new lease on life.
In the past, Xu Shengnan was not too ambitious. She was content to be on par with Zou Wenxuan as both a.s.sumed the role of vice president in the respective old and new English clubs.
Now, Xu Shengnan realized that she was not suitable to be the president as she was too quick-tempered and not rational enough.
The corners of Qiao Nan’s lips curled. “You must be exaggerating when you said that, right?” She had not thought of saving anyone.
If Vice President Xu had not delegated the duty of securing sponsors.h.i.+ps to her, and if the legendary Senior Gao was not Fang Fang’s childhood sweetheart, she also could not settle this matter. “I can only say that it is fate. The opportunity for the new English club has
come.”
Qiao Nan dared not amplify or take all the credit. “Vice President Xu, now, the sponsors.h.i.+p is not a problem and you have recruited many new club members. Do you have any concrete plans for the events?” If the events were not good, it was useless even if they had the money and manpower.
If the new English club really wished to secure its footing in Peking University, it would depend on how its events developed eventually.
If the events were successful, the new English club would be able to establish itself. It could then gradually take a step at a time and develop steadily. In the time to come, it would be on par with or even surpa.s.s the old English club.
“Yes, yes, yes. That’s why I’m looking for you to discuss them.” Xu Shengnan nodded. She had conceived many ideas for the events during the past two years. However, as the club lacked the funds, it was useless even if they had many good ideas.
This year, they finally had the funds. Xu Shengnan was even more enthusiastic. She wished to do an excellent job in organizing the events. She wanted them to be splendid.
Qiao Nan was actually not adept at organizing events. She completely could not be compared to Xu Shengnan.
After reading Xu Shengnan’s proposal, Qiao Nan felt that it was quite good. Anyway, she would not be able to come up with this or give any comments. “Vice President Xu, your proposal is quite good. If they are going to be implemented, it won’t go wrong. However, you also know that although I am a freshman, I am rather busy. These events…” She might not be able to partic.i.p.ate in them. She might not be able to help out much either.
“It’s fine. You have already settled the most important task. As for the rest of the matters, I have other arrangements.” Xu Shengnan was smiling complacently.
If Qiao Nan had said this a week ago, Xu Shengnan would certainly not let her off. Although Qiao Nan was busy, she also had to make her squeeze out some time to help with the events.
There was no choice as there were very few club members. As such, one member had to take on the duties of ten members. No one could escape from it. Xu Shengnan would take the lead to be the coolie.
The number of club members had increased. Of course, Xu Shengnan could not possibly order Qiao Nan around anymore. “Fine, go ahead and focus on your other matters. However, on the day of the event, you still have to come. After all, you are the secretary. No matter how busy you are, you have to spend a little time on this. If this event is successful, perhaps our new English club will be able to receive the good progress award this year. When the school term ends, as the secretary of the club, you will be given many merit points too. These points are very useful to you if you wish to compete for scholars.h.i.+ps.”
At this moment, Xu Shengnan almost treated Qiao Nan as if she were her biological sister. What to pay attention to, what would benefit Qiao Nan, what would be most effective in college-Xu Shengnan was imparting all the experiences that she had acc.u.mulated for the past two years to Qiao Nan so that the latter would not take the long routes.
Qiao Nan’s eyes lit up. Naturally, she understood how precious these words of Xu Shengnan were. Hence, she was conscientiously listening to her. “Vice President Xu, thank you. Don’t worry. I will definitely be there on the day of the event.”
Qiao Nan was not an obliging person. If she had wanted to score beautifully in social practice as well as have excellent grades, it was actually quite difficult, not to mention that Qiao Nan also had her own arrangements.
With Xu Shengnan’s sharing of experience, Qiao Nan could really save some of her time.
“Don’t mention it, Qiao Nan. I look up to you very much. Cheers!” Xu Shengnan patted Qiao Nan’s shoulders. The sunlight was s.h.i.+ning on Qiao Nan through windows. It formed a crescent-shaped halo on Qiao Nan’s body. “Qiao Nan, do you know what you look like in my eyes now?”
“What?”
“An angel!”
“…” Qiao Nan was speechless as she raised her eyebrows. “Thank you.” So, the vice president suddenly notified and insisted her to come so that she could give her a round of praises?
When she came out of the meeting room, Qiao Nan felt like she was in a trance.
She thought of her first meeting with Vice President Xu, whereby the latter’s att.i.tude toward her was extremely unfriendly albeit not nasty. Qiao Nan nearly regretted registering for the new English club then. She had even considered resigning from the club.
