Chapter 912 It Is All Tang Jiayun’s Fault

Why didn’t she have a good childhood friend that had relatives in the capital and could lend her a house to stay?

Qiao Nan had taken a huge advantage from this.

Yu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red. She did not expect that the reality was contrary to her thoughts. Qiao Nan was not the one who basked in s.h.i.+ Qing’s glory. It was the other way round.

Without Qiao Nan, s.h.i.+ Qing could not stay in that small courtyard as well.

At this moment, Tang Jiayun felt like biting her handkerchief. She could not refuse to admit that Qiao Nan was quite lucky. Actually, one did not have to know many friends. As long as they had one or two friends like s.h.i.+ Qing, life would be complete.

“I still have something on today. I won’t keep you company then. I’m leaving first.” Tang Jiayun’s eyeb.a.l.l.s swiveled. She bid goodbye to Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan and left.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan’s faces turned black. Lü Yan bluntly said, “That means she doesn’t need us anymore? Is she dumping us?”

“Both,” Yu Xiaoxiao said rationally. “Tang Jiayun’s target is s.h.i.+ Qing. She certainly needs Qiao Nan’s help if she wishes to get close to s.h.i.+ Qing. We won’t meet s.h.i.+ Qing but Qiao Nan will. I suspect Tang Jiayun will try to get close to Qiao Nan and treat the latter as a stepping stone.”

Lü Yan’s expression turned stiff. She then smiled. “That’s true. Tang Jiayun, this kind of person, will never do things without a purpose or gain.”

“However, Tang Jiayun should not be happy too soon. Qiao Nan doesn’t seem easy to manage at all. Although she is not the type who seeks revenge for the slightest grievance, she is certainly not good-tempered and easy to talk to. Don’t treat someone quiet as one who doesn’t have a temper. When this kind of person flares up, it will be worse than when others do. Haha! Regardless of what Tang Jiayun has in mind, whether she can eventually fulfill her wish is going to be tough.”

At this point in time, the phrase ‘white lotus flower virgin Mary’ was not popular. Hence, Yu Xiaoxiao did not use it.

Nevertheless, she wanted to express the same meaning. Qiao Nan would not forgive someone without any principles or reasons. Similarly, she would not target someone just because of some trivial matters.

The things that Tang Jiayun did previously were ugly and shameful. Most importantly, those who were not blind would think that Tang Jiayun had gone overboard.

With that, Tang Jiayun still hoped to become good friends with Qiao Nan so that the latter would introduce her to s.h.i.+ Qing? Tang Jiayun’s brains were really soaked in water.

After hearing Yu Xiaoxiao’s words, Lü Yan’s anger subsided a little. “Back to the topic. Now that we know what is on Tang Jiayun’s mind, are both of us still going to…?”.

s.h.i.+ Qing obviously had a powerful background. Certainly, they were first-year students in college now. However, they were also worried about the social practice required during their third-year studies. They had to make preparations as well.

It was not that easy to get into a good career or department. Not every company would be willing to open up such vacancies.

If they truly encountered such a situation, they heard that one would be badly battered fighting for one such vacancy.

Nevertheless, if they were successful in grabbing it and performed well during the practice, they would be able to become a formal employee of such big companies. They could also pull some strings or pay some money to get in. They heard that these were all high-paying jobs.

Upon reaching that stage, they could then truly be considered a golden phoenix that soared out of the chicken nest! After another ten years of hard work, they could most probably buy a house in the capital and become a resident there.

Lü Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao were lacking most in connections. In actual fact, every student who had just come to the capital faced the same issue.

The appearance of s.h.i.+ Qing was undoubtedly a bright and dazzling ray of light that shot out from this dark truth.

Anyone who was able to drive a good car in the capital was either a wealthy man or a government official. Regardless of which, as long as they could get close to the powerful s.h.i.+ Qing, they would have a bright future ahead.

Perhaps the most correct thing that they had done in this life was not that they had chosen to study at Peking University but having met a cla.s.smate like s.h.i.+ Qing!

Lü Yan was well aware of this point. Although she laughed at Tang Jiayun, she also wanted to give it a try and get into s.h.i.+ Qing’s good books, knowing that s.h.i.+ Qing could be of some help in the future.

Although all are humans, there are huge gaps between them. They could not achieve certain things despite working so hard, while others could do so with just a few words.

“Sigh…” After some time, Yu Xiaoxiao gave a sigh. “Do you think I don’t wish to? Let me advise you. Forget it. Unless you can get to know s.h.i.+ Qing directly and make her accept you, it certainly won’t work even if you go through Qiao Nan. If Tang Jiayun won’t be able to succeed, we won’t be able to either. Otherwise, why do you think Qiao Nan insisted on moving out?”

Qiao Nan’s att.i.tude was already very obvious.

“It’s all Tang Jiayun’s fault.” Lü Yan was feeling increasingly unhappy. She vented all her resentment and anger on Tang Jiayun.

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Was it really all Tang Jiayun’s fault?

Not really…

Everything was quite smooth for Qiao Nan on her first day at work.

At this point in time, it was not so common for one to know English. The problem was that China was developing at a rapid pace. The economy had been developing and achieving favorable progress. As such, it had garnered the attention of many other countries.

It was not strange that the Palace Museum, one of the major places of interest in the capital, had numerous visitors every day.

In particular, the foreigners were all aware that the capital had such a famous and prominent ancient archeology. The building structure was well-maintained and the style was bright and distinct. It also exuded a strong historic feel. Hence, any international visitors to the capital would definitely make a trip to the Palace Museum.

In the past, whenever they had to manage so many tourists in a day, the personnel managing the Palace Museum would be anxious and at a loss of what to do.

Even after the top made some arrangements, they were still lacking in manpower.

It was truly very important to have one more volunteer such as Qiao Nan, who was proficient in English. In fact, the more the merrier.

In order to let Qiao Nan a.s.sume the role well, the unit gave her some training before she took on the job. Mainly, they guided her on the rules and important things to note in the Palace Museum.

Of course, to become a qualified guide and interpreter, Qiao Nan had to be very familiar with the various scenery and places of interest in the Palace Museum. She had to fully memorize all the information such that they would be at her fingertips.

After going through a round of training and test, Qiao Nan could then carry the shoulder emblem and badge of an employee.

Qiao Nan had always been strong in humanities. Hence, to her, memorizing information was a piece of cake.

When Qiao Nan registered last week, the management unit had already given her all the information as well as what was required of a tour guide and things to note for the job.

The other party had also strictly emphasized to Qiao Nan that she could become a volunteer only after she met all the requirements.

She had one week to prepare. If she could not pa.s.s the test, she would be too embarra.s.sed to tell others that she was a student from Peking University when she went out next time.

When Sat.u.r.day came, the management unit tested Qiao Nan’s professional knowledge as soon as they could.
