Chapter 948 Went Head To Head

“I believe you should understand that there is a difference between secretaries.”

Zou Wenxuan was telling Qiao Nan that the established English club was in a higher position than the new English club. The secretary of the established English club would be deemed as a more important position.

All the positions had been decided for this year. There was no way to make any changes.

As long as Qiao Nan was willing to join their English club, Zou Wenxuan would help Qiao Nan become the secretary next year.

She would have to wait a year to be the secretary. Many students could not wait to join the English club. However, Zou Wenxuan would not let Qiao Nan wait in vain.

Qiao Nan arched her eyebrows and smiled. “Is this considered poaching?”

Zou Wenxuan paused momentarily. She did not expect that Qiao Nan would be so blunt.

Zou Wenxuan schooled her expression and smiled gracefully. “Yes, you are a talent. It is not surprising that one will want you to join them.” She admitted that she was indeed here to ask Qiao Nan to join her club.

“Thank you,” Qiao Nan said politely.

Zou Wenxuan smiled. “I know you are a smart person.” Everyone who wanted to join their club would have to get in through the back door or to have exceptional performances. Qiao Nan should appreciate what was offered to her. The chance would not be offered to everyone. “Well, wait a minute. I will get someone to send you the application form to join the club. You can fill it out just for the sake of filling it.”

“No need.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “I am very grateful for your recognition. The school requires students to join a club, and I have already joined a club. As for other matters, I am not ambitious. I feel that it is not a good idea to do things this way, and it will put you in a difficult position.”

She had no intention of joining the English club that the senior was in. Qiao Nan could not understand why the senior would come looking for her.

Qiao Nan did not believe her when she said that she recognized her talents.

There were many talented students at Peking University. She was just a mediocre student. Furthermore, she was a freshman, not well-known in school.

Lü Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao had joined the English club with Tang Jiayun’s help. They mentioned that there were no more vacancies and it was not easy to join the club.

Qiao Nan did not join in the fun during the time for registration. The registration had ended long ago and yet someone came to offer her a vacancy in the club. Qiao Nan felt that something must be wrong.

“Qiao Nan, perhaps you would like to reconsider?” Zou Wenxuan was surprised that Qiao Nan would reject her. She thought that Qiao Nan would agree readily.

As long as one had their wits about them, one would know which to choose.

“There is no need for that.”

“Are you really… not going to reconsider?” Zou Wenxuan frowned. Qiao Nan was too much. She was the vice president of the English club. She was being very nice to Qiao Nan by asking her personally.

Qiao Nan must learn to know her limits.

“What is there to consider!” Xu Shengnan slammed her palm on the table. “Zou Wenxuan, what do you mean by this?”

Back then, Zou Wenxuan joined the established English club with her. She was not selected to be the secretary while Zou Wenxuan from her cla.s.s was offered the position.

They had been cla.s.smates for two years and Xu Shengnan found Zou Wenxuan to be an eyesore in the two years.

Xu Shengnan[1] had a fiery temper and she was straightforward and impulsive. In short, she was like a tomboy. Her parents had given her a very apt name.

Her parents hoped that she could do better than men. Of course, Xu Shengnan had the desire to excel as well. She would not lose to men, let alone women.

Back then, they got into Peking University with the same results and they signed up for the English club at the same time.

What made Xu Shengnan unhappy was that if a freshman like her was unqualified to be a secretary, how could Zou Wenxuan be a secretary?

Xu Shengnan felt that the president of the English club back then looked down on her. Therefore, she sought opportunities in other places and joined another club.

Half a semester had pa.s.sed. Xu Shengnan finally realized why she lost to Zou Wenxuan.

Unlike Xu Shengnan, who was straightforward and behaved like a boy, Zou Wenxuan was gentle and soft-spoken. She gave others the impression of being a quiet and graceful lady.

Xu Shengnan heard from other male students that she was like a brother to them, but when they saw Zou Wenxuan, they wanted to protect and help her.

Not long after entering college, Zou Wenxuan became known as the most beautiful girl in the faculty. She would be in close touch with the president of the English club back then, discussing their homework.

Xu Shengnan finally realized that other people treated her like a man while they treated Zou Wenxuan as a woman. Men preferred Zou Wenxuan, who was not too straightforward, over her. This was the reason why she lost to Zou Wenxuan!

Ever since she realized that she lost not because of her capabilities or her talents, but because of her looks and temper, Xu Shengnan bore grudges and was at loggerheads with the established English club.

In fact, the reason why Xu Shengnan found Qiao Nan an eyesore right from the start was that Qiao Nan resembled Zou Wenxuan in terms of temperament. Actually, it was the president who suggested that Qiao Nan became the secretary. She had no choice but to respect the president’s decision.

This was the reason why Xu Shengnan gave Qiao Nan the most difficult and arduous task.

She did want to make life difficult for Qiao Nan. But she also hoped that Qiao Nan could accomplish the mission and she could realize her dream from long ago, bringing the club to greater heights.

After talking to Qiao Nan and listening to what the president had to say, she had sorted out her thoughts.

She hoped that Qiao Nan was her G.o.d of wealth and that the latter could a.s.sist her in realizing her dreams in university. However, she treated Qiao Nan harshly.

Qiao Nan would not seek trouble for herself. She would not help her secure funds after being treated badly by her.

if such things happened to him, the president would not help Xu Shengnan secure funds. This was even more so for women.

Xu Shengnan was anxious after hearing those words.

Qiao Nan was her last and only hope. If Qiao Nan refused to help her and played some tricks with her, the event this year might fail and she would lose her last chance to realize her dream. This would mean that she had no way of winning against Zou Wenxuan in all her years in university.

It was never too late to change.

After listening to the president’s advice, Xu Shengnan found out where Qiao Nan was and went looking for her.

Xu Shengnan never imagined that Zou Wenxuan, her biggest enemy in the university, would sit next to Qiao Nan and engaged in a conversation with Qiao Nan.

By the time she came near them, Xu Shengnan heard that Zou Wenxuan was trying to persuade Qiao Nan to join her club. Xu Shengnan was so furious that she wanted to hit Zou Wenxuan.

“Cla.s.smate Xu is here.” Zou Wenxuan felt particularly unhappy that Xu Shengnan glared at her like a tigress.
