Chapter 1116: Thank You Gifts

Qiao Nan had a headache. “Vice President Xu, you seem to have forgotten that right when we started school, I have already spread the news with the help of Tang Jiayun that I am engaged. Everyone interested in me will definitely find out more information about me. Once they know that I am engaged, normal people would stay a safe distance from me.”

“Are you really engaged?” Xu Shengnan arched her eyebrows. Obviously, she did not believe her.

Qiao Nan smiled. “If I say that I am married, will you believe me? It’s just nice… Here, have a sweet.” Qiao Nan took out a packet of red wedding candies from her bag and handed it to Xu Shengnan.

Xu Shengnan did not stand on ceremony. She unwrapped the candy. “Did your relatives get married?”

“No, these are from me.” They were wedding candies.

Xu Shengnan rolled her eyes. “c.r.a.p. Qiao Nan. You are good at your studies and good at telling lies. Even if this is a joke, no one will laugh at your joke. This is too far-fetched.”

It was rare that a first-year college student was engaged, let alone being married. Did she take her for a three-year-old kid?

Xu Shengnan knew that many college students were in a relations.h.i.+p. But for some reason, like people who hid the fact that they were married, these students hid the fact that they were in a relations.h.i.+p.

If one was married at such a young age, should one not keep a low profile and keep it from others?

“Qiao Nan, your married relative must be rich. The candy is tasty. It is nice that you share good food with me. I have not wasted my efforts on you.” Xu Shengnan was not dying to have a packet of sweets, but Xu Shengnan was glad that Qiao Nan did not forget about her. “Don’t worry. I will treat you better in the future. The club will be having a meeting one week after the school reopens. By then, I will hand the position of the vice president to you.”

Qiao Nan was confused. “Wait a minute. Don’t we need to elect the vice president?”

“You must be foolish. Of course we have to go through an election. But you are very popular in the club. You are the most popular student among your peers. You don’t have to worry about the second-year students. You are widely praised by the second-year students.”

Most importantly, Qiao Nan’s ‘Cups’ song at the club event last year had received the approval and recognition from many of the club members.

Until now, when people spoke of Qiao Nan’s ‘Cups’ song, they all remembered that it was nicely sung by Qiao Nan.

Moreover, the melody was easy. As long as one mastered the rhythm, one could practice it using the cup. Many people who were interested in the song had been practicing it secretly.

It was a pity that without Qiao Nan to guide them, it was not that easy to learn the ‘Cups’ song.

In short, Qiao Nan, who was a freshman, had never thought of gaining fame in school. But she had inadvertently shot to fame in school.

As a result, Xu Shengnan did not need to do anything to garner support for Qiao Nan. During the club’s activities, all she needed to do was to put Qiao Nan’s name onto the name list for the running candidates and it was highly possible that she would be elected as the vice president.

Of course, with Xu Shengnan’s help, the position would definitely belong to Qiao Nan.

“It is not suitable. If you really have to step down, you should pa.s.s it to the second-year student.” Qiao Nan understood the rules. “Vice President Xu, I understand your kind intentions. But let’s forget about this. I don’t want to trouble you. It will be terrible if it affects your interns.h.i.+p.”

Xu Shengnan had a wide smile on her face, the corners of her lips tilting upward, displaying an exaggerated smile. “You don’t have to worry about my interns.h.i.+p. Nothing will go wrong. I am lucky to meet you. Do you know where I will be doing my interns.h.i.+p?”

“I don’t know.”

“I will be going to Senior Gao’s company to do my interns.h.i.+p! Senior Gao said that if I perform well, I can work at his company after I graduate!!” At the mention of this, Xu Shengnan was thrilled and exhilarated. She could not wait to thank G.o.d for her luck. Ever since she met Qiao Nan in her third year in school, everything seemed to be going well for her.

Her junior was her lucky star.

“During the Lunar New Year, my parents were still troubled over my future. They wanted to know whether I would go back to my hometown to work or stay in the capital like the Beijing drifters when I graduate one year later. Now, everything has been settled!”

Xu Shengnan was a student at Peking University. She was well-known in her hometown for doing well in her studies.

It was all the better if she could find a job in the capital.

The problem was that her family was not able to help her and they knew that life was not easy in the capital. Everything was very expensive. If their daughter wanted to stay in the capital, it would be very difficult for her.

But their daughter studied at a prominent university. They would find it a pity and a waste of talent if she had to return to her hometown to find a job after she graduated.

Her parents were worried sick for her future.

After Xu Shengnan received a call from Gao Yan, the Xu family was finally able to spend the Lunar New Year happily.

Now that Xu Shengnan could work at Gao Yan’s company, it meant that as long as Xu Shengnan did not make any mistakes in the coming year, she would not have to worry about finding a job once she graduated. She already had a job waiting for her and it paid her fairly well.

After her interns.h.i.+p, she would be able to receive her pay as full-time staff.

If Xu Shengnan saved enough money, she might be able to pay for the first installment and would then be able to have her own house in the capital.

Once she had her own house, Xu Shengnan would be considered as settling down in the capital. In the future, she would be considered as a resident in the capital.

Qiao Nan was dizzy from the news. “Congratulations.” Gao Yan was so generous to have promised her a job.

“Qiao Nan, these are the homegrown products that my parents told me to pa.s.s to you. Please don’t mind that they are from my hometown. They are delicious.” At the mention of her job, Xu Shengnan was reminded of the foodstuff that her parents gave her to bring back to school.

In the past, her parents would prepare foodstuffs for Xu Shengnan so that she could have good food in school.

This time, everything that her parents prepared was for Qiao Nan. They did not prepare anything for her.

“Ah?” Qiao Nan was at a loss for words upon seeing the bag of dried foodstuff. There were ham, chicken, duck, and more. “For me? Why? I can’t accept them.” She did not do anything to deserve them. “You are my senior and you take great care of me. I should be giving you presents instead.”

“You have been a great help to me. On the other hand, I didn’t really help you. If not for you, Senior Gao Yan would not give me the chance to work at his company. Don’t stand on ceremony. My parents rear all these in the countryside. The ham is especially tasty. The pigs at my house do not eat the feed. They eat vegetables. The pork in the city will not taste as nice as the pork from the countryside.”

Xu Shengnan was big-hearted and generous. She told her parents about the relations.h.i.+p between Qiao Nan and Gao Yan.

Now that her parents knew that it was because of Qiao Nan that their daughter had such great opportunities, they had to express their grat.i.tude toward her.
