Chapter 967 Qiao Nan Is the Leading Figure in Limelight
“My silly lady, I am anxious!” Qiao Nan tapped on Shi Qing’s forehead with her fingers. “Anyway, listen to me. I won’t harm you.”
Shi Qing started to feel embarrassed. “Will Brother Zhai agree to it?”
It was possible that Shi Qing had been too annoyed by the Feng family. Upon hearing that she could be transferred to PLA National Defence University, she could not care much about Qiao Nan anymore. Her heart flew toward PLA National Defence University immediately when she heard Qiao Nan’s words. “Wrong. With you around, it will certainly be fine.”
Qiao Nan cast a displeased look at the heartless Shi Qing. “Yes, with me around, it will surely be fine. There is me helping you at Brother Zhai’s end. If you are keen on transferring to PLA National Defence University, you should know in your heart what you need to prepare for. Toward this, I really can’t help you much.”
It was also a good thing that Shi Qing was going to discontinue her studies at Peking University, lest the Feng family used Shi Qing as an excuse to intervene in her school life. This would also save Shi Qing the pain of being sandwiched in the middle.
“Fine.” Shi Qing agreed readily. “Qiao Nan, I am going to abandon you and run toward my real ambition.”
Many years ago, she had wanted to study at PLA National Defence University because of Brother Zhai. Perhaps she had been thinking about it for too long, but this dream did not have anything to do with Brother Zhai now. It was purely due to her likes and desires now.
After the decision had been made, Qiao Nan stood up. “It’s late. Quickly wash up and sleep. As for the rest of the matters, I will talk to Brother Zhai. You just need to update your dad about it.”
“Rest assured. I will not reveal a word to anyone, not even my mom.” At this moment, Shi Qing became very smart.
“Okay,” Qiao Nan replied and yawned. “I shall go and sleep first.”
Shi Qing quickly wrapped her arms around Qiao Nan’s shoulders. “Are you really going to sleep like that? Aren’t you going to take a look at the mirror first? Let me give you a suggestion. Tomorrow, skip classes for one day. Otherwise, you will become a hot topic of discussion in school again.”
That neck filled with ‘strawberries’—who would not overthink when they saw it?
Qiao Nan gritted her teeth. “There is no need for your concern. I have my own way to solve this.” After slapping Shi Qing’s head away from her shoulders, Qiao Nan returned to her room swiftly and slept soon after.
The next day, Shi Qing was waiting to watch a good show of Qiao Nan. Her pair of eyes were looking at Qiao Nan in a thievish manner. Why was she not wearing a turtleneck? Huh, where were the love bites? Where did they all go to?
“You don’t need to look anymore.” Qiao Nan gave a light knock on Shi Qing’s head.
“They all went away in one night? Is it because Brother Zhai bit too lightly or you possess extraordinary talent? Will Brother Zhai be able to enjoy the good fortune next time?” With a slip in her mind, even Shi Qing started to talk about ‘driving’.
Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. “That’s all wrong. I covered them up with a concealer.” There was no other way.
“Concealer? Isn’t that a makeup product? When did you buy that?” She did not know about it at all.
“It is always better to be prepared.” Didn’t it come into use now? “Alight, quickly go to school. Both of us have classes this morning. Don’t be late. As for breakfast, let’s have it at school.” Qiao Nan pulled Shi Qing along and ran toward Peking University.
Although both had classes, they were held in different classrooms. Hence, they went separate ways after having breakfast.
When Qiao Nan was seated after entering the classroom, two pairs of eyes were looking at her from time to time. It was extremely annoying.
Besides these two pairs of eyes, Qiao Nan’s classmates were also talking softly about her.
Clearly, everyone was college freshmen. Besides the military training period, the school term had not even started for a month. In this batch of students, Qiao Nan was considered the leading figure in the limelight.
First, there was a scandal about being a kept woman. Next came the shocking news that Qiao Nan, a first-year freshman, knew Gao Yan, the Prince Charming of Peking University who had already started his own business.
The senior that was beyond their reach was a good friend that Qiao Nan was very familiar with and whom she could even bargain with.
This was truly unbelievable!
Senior Gao had graduated and Qiao Nan had just entered the school. The two of them were old friends and on such good terms with each other. There was not even a need for Qiao Nan to gather sponsorship. With just one word, the cold and aloof senior Gao was willing to open his pocket to sponsor the new English club.
Many people were spreading rumors that Qiao Nan and Senior Gao had a close relationship. In the future, she might simply become the lady boss of Senior Gao’s company.
The lady boss wanted to take the money in the boss’s pocket. Could the boss not give it to her? Dared he not do so?
At the thought of this, many classmates in the classroom could not help but look at Qiao Nan in a scandalous light.
If the scandal of being a kept woman had made Qiao Nan lose face, then this childhood sweetheart matter had completely given Qiao Nan a new life. She had received the affirmation of all the first-year freshmen.
“Qiao Nan, I heard that you are the secretary of the new English club. Although the deadline is over, can you lend me a helping hand so that I can join your club?” Someone went near to Qiao Nan and sat beside her.
Her classmate was the secretary. If she were to join the club, she would be so proud. At the very least, she would be of a higher status than other typical club members.
“Right, Qiao Nan. Help me. We are very interested in the English club. Give us a chance.” Never twice without three times. Many people who avoided Qiao Nan in the past were surrounding her now. “Qiao Nan, I heard that you not only know Senior Gao but are also childhood sweethearts with him. Is it true? Didn’t you say that you have a fiancé? Don’t tell me that Senior Gao is your fiancé?”
Damn, if that was the case, the English club would be given a new lease on life.
With Qiao Nan, this lady boss around, would they need to be afraid that Senior Gao would not sponsor them?
“…” Suddenly, she was surrounded by a group of people who were enthusiastically smiling and fawning on her. Qiao Nan felt so scared that she was having goosebumps. “Well… Everyone, the teachers are here. We can talk after the lesson if you have any matter. As for the new English club, we have different responsibilities. If you are really interested, you can look for the club’s vice president, Xu Shengnan, directly.”
She was the secretary, and her only task was to get sponsorships.
At this juncture, she had completed her task. As for whether the club could open the back door and take in a few more club members, the power of that decision would lie entirely with Vice President Xu.
“Haha, okay.” These people were not angry, and neither did they think that Qiao Nan was deliberately making excuses so as not to help them.
Anyway, everyone knew that Vice President Xu looked up to Qiao Nan. In addition, Qiao Nan had secured sponsorship for the new English club, becoming a great contributor to the club. If they were to use Qiao Nan’s name, they were not afraid that the English Club would not take them in.
“Crap, what’s the big deal? A group of fools. They have been toyed with and are still licking someone’s boots smilingly.” Lü Yan was feeling very jealous. In the past, everyone rejected Qiao Nan. Now, Qiao Nan had become the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars.
Tang Jiayun was still able to endure this. “Don’t be sour grapes. It is meaningless.”
“Don’t you feel jealous?” Lü Yan could not help but refute.
“Yes, but I’m a little better than you.” Tang Jiayun’s face turned sullen as she cast an unhappy glance at Lü Yan.
