989 Could No Longer Compete and Win
“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to report the latest situation to Senior Zou?” Tang Jiayun put down her hands, which had turned red due to her applause, and looked coldly at Lü Yan. The latter had been waiting to watch Qiao Nan embarra.s.s herself. “Qiao Nan has already finished her performance. If you don’t go now, you should worry that someone will take over your job.”
Sigh, it was no wonder that Lü Yan was wholeheartedly looking forward to Qiao Nan embarra.s.sing herself.
When Tang Jiayun saw that Qiao Nan only had a piece of wooden plank and a cup as props, she nearly doubted if her recent decision had been wrong, whether she had placed the wrong bets again.
Fortunately, she had placed the correct bets this time.
She had finally won this round. Of course, Tang Jiayun felt happy.
When she looked at Lü Yan, who had placed the wrong bets and lost again without a choice, Tang Jiayun felt even more pleased. “Why do you have to pretend to be a boss even though you don’t have the brains? When you have a chance next time, learn more from Yu Xiaoxiao. It’s not a good thing for someone who is not capable to be so ambitious.”
“You…” Lü Yan gritted her teeth. “The one who has the last laugh will be the victor. Don’t you think that you are feeling smug too soon?”
She only sang a song with a piece of wooden plank and a cup. She did not even think that this kind of shabby performance was shameful. Only a group of fools would like such a disrespectful performance by Qiao Nan.
“At the very least, I manage to find pleasure in this performance. No one knows what will happen for sure in the future. I have already worked hard to find a way. What do you have? I don’t deny that the one who has the last laugh will be the victor. However, I just wish to say that you may not be the one that has the last laugh.”
Lü Yan was too lost in her self-confidence. She even dared to openly boast to her. Lü Yan was foolish beyond hopes.
“Alright, I can’t be bothered with you. You can go wherever you think is cool. Senior did not feel positive toward both of us. If you don’t fulfill your tasks quickly, many people will be able to squeeze you away from her side.”
Vice President Xu’s behavior today had already given the first-year and second-year students a reminder.
The seniors who would be handing over the club duties to the next batch of committee members must have already started to identify possible candidates and nurture talents.
It would be better for this kind of matter to be done sooner than later.
If Lü Yan really had plans, she should understand that her priority task on hand was not to find opportunities to see Qiao Nan embarra.s.s herself but to spend more time to plan for herself and put in more effort.
Lü Yan pursed her lips. “Are you so kind as to remind me? What is your motive?”
“You guess?” Tang Jiayun laughed viciously. Kindhearted?
How could she be so kindhearted?
Lü Yan was not Qiao Nan. Although Lü Yan normally did not utter a sound, she was very vicious at heart. She was indeed reflective of the saying of ‘a barking dog never bites’.
No one would provoke Lü Yan. However, when her personal interests were at stake, Lü Yan would quietly run out and take the initiative to bite the other party, not to mention that Tang Jiayun had schemed against Lü Yan before.
She was willing to ‘remind’ Lü Yan because she knew that no matter how hard Lü Yan tried, Senior Zou would not bother about Lü Yan.
Lü Yan could work very hard but her efforts would all be in vain.
At the thought of this, Tang Jiayun felt extremely happy.
Of course, Lü Yan could not figure out Tang Jiayun’s mind. However, Tang Jiayun said something that was right. She had to follow Senior Zou closer by the side.
Otherwise, someone else, and not her, would be standing beside Senior Zou and talking to the latter tomorrow.
Lü Yan’s face turned black. She could no longer bother about Qiao Nan’s situation. She ran in Zou Wenxuan’s direction lest someone else s.n.a.t.c.h away her job and cause her to lose her usefulness.
Furthermore, Qiao Nan’s performance had ended. There was no longer any ‘good show’ for Lü Yan to watch. Even if Tang Jiayun did not say anything, Lü Yan would not dawdle any longer either. Moreover, at this moment, many people were discussing Qiao Nan’s earlier performance. They felt that it was truly not bad and did not fare any less than the programs that had been prepared by others for a few months beforehand.
If they had given Qiao Nan enough time, perhaps Qiao Nan would become the most outstanding one in the new English club’s event today.
Nevertheless, although she was not the most outstanding one now, she was the most spectacular one. It was a performance that one could hardly ignore or forget.
When Lü Yan ran to Zou Wenxuan’s side, she discovered that Zou Wenxuan was extremely quiet. “Senior Zou?”
“You’re back?” Zou Wenxuan seemed a little gloomy. “That’s right. You should be back. Here’s some money. Help me buy a packet of cigarettes.”
“Senior Zou, do you smoke?” It did not seem so. In the past, she had never smelled any cigarette odor on Senior Zou.
“I don’t.” Zou Wenxuan gave a long sigh. “However, I have a strong urge to smoke today. Hurry up. If you don’t wish to run the errand, I will look for someone else.” It was just the task of buying a packet of cigarettes. Anyone could make the trip. It was not as if she had to ask Lü Yan to do so. It was just a coincidence that Lü Yan appeared when she wanted to smoke and find someone to buy cigarettes.
“Senior Zou, rest a.s.sured. I can run very fast. I will buy the cigarettes back for you immediately.” Lü Yan was shocked. She used her fastest speed to buy the cigarettes and lighter and brought them before Zou Wenxuan.
Without a word, Zou Wenxuan lit a cigarette and took a deep smoke.
It was true that she did not smoke previously. She was not used to it and choked immediately. “Cough, cough, cough…”
“Senior Zou, do you want some water?” Senior Zou really did not know how to smoke. Why did she insist on smoking then? Wasn’t she looking to suffer?
Zou Wenxuan patted Lü Yan’s hands away. She took over the cup of water and gulped down a mouthful. “No issue. I’ll be fine after a few more smokes.”
Having said that, true enough, Zou Wenxuan faced the cigarette and took another deep smoke. Unlike her first time, she did not choke that badly. “There’s nothing much to do now. You can go back.”
Although the events of the two English clubs had not ended and there were a few more programs to go before they did, Zou Wenxuan no longer wished to care about all these.
Qiao Nan had been pushed up the stage at the eleventh hour. However, the outcome of her performance was not any worse than those of her own club. At the thought of this, Zou Wenxuan really did not feel confident about this round of events anymore.
Feng Qianqian hid her illness from others and wanted to perform despite being unwell. However, she ultimately succ.u.mbed to her illness, fainted, and was sent to the hospital. When Zou Wenxuan heard this, she had thought that heaven was on her side.
There were few members in the new English club. Anyone who could perform for them had already done so. Hence, they did not even have any relief performers.
Otherwise, Feng Qianqian would not have ignored her own health and insisted to perform despite being unwell.
Once Feng Qianqian left, the time slot for her performance would become empty.
This should have been a major disaster for the new English club. However, under one person, Qiao Nan’s best effort to save the dying situation, the performance had become the highlight of the new English club’s events.
Yes, the highlight.
The new English club was no longer poor. However, Qiao Nan used such a ‘cheap’ performance and improved the reputation of the new English club in the school.
