Chapter 983 - As Expected, She Had Discerning Sense of Judgmen

983 As Expected, She Had Discerning Sense of Judgmen
Lü Yan, who had left, was a clear example.
Yu Xiaoxiao stared at Tang Jiayun silently. Tang Jiayun used to be arrogant and looked down on Qiao Nan. Now, gone was her arrogance. Instead, she was cautious and focused on flattering and pleasing Qiao Nan.
Yu Xiaoxiao sighed after a long while.
It was useless to say anything now.
Qiao Nan might have a good temper, but it did not mean that she would be friends with people who used to bully her.
Instead, Qiao Nan treated them with indifference.
Tang Jiayun was brazen and shameless to fawn on Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan treated her with nonchalance.
Yu Xiaoxiao was reminded of her former self who was upright and honest. After she entered university, she seemed to have changed into another person. She was no longer simple and innocent.
She made careful planning but made the wrong bet, and she ended up missing the golden opportunity.
Looking at her former roommate who was dazzling on the stage and was already so much more successful than her, Yu Xiaoxiao felt bitter and she could not help but miss her former innocent self.
If she was still her former self, given her temper, she would not collude with Tang Jiayun when the latter wanted to target Qiao Nan. She also would not mix with Lü Yan.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
Yu Xiaoxiao turned and left silently. She was not Lü Yan. She would not be able to fawn on Senior Zou even when she had made it clear that she disliked Lü Yan.
Neither was she Tang Jiayun. The atmosphere was very stiff and embarrassing between Tang Jiayun and Qiao Nan, but she stood by Qiao Nan’s side shamelessly to bask in her light so as to achieve her goal.

You are merely pretending to be above material pursuits.
Tang Jiayun smirked as she watched a dejected Yu Xiaoxiao leave the scene.
What her cousin taught her was right.
It was not easy to survive and make a living in society. College students nowadays did not understand the harsh reality of life. They had a bad temper and were thin-skinned.
After they joined the society, they would realize how difficult it was to earn money and that it was run of the mill to bear with other people’s temper. By then, they would regret not making use of the countless opportunities in school and being short-tempered and prideful.
Tang Jiaxuan closed her eyes, trying to suppress her anger. She composed herself and plastered a stiff smile on her distorted face.
She had been through a lot to study at Peking University. Her cousin lent her money to study there.
She must succeed and graduate with excellent results. She had to find a great job and to earn lots of money.
Only then would she be able to support herself, return the money to her cousin, and take care of her.
After sorting out her thoughts and focusing on her goals, Tang Jiayun’s smile was not as stiff as before.
Qiao Nan was busy on the stage and did not witness the scene. Otherwise, she would suggest Tang Jiayun join the entertainment industry in the future instead of joining the workforce.

The show is starting!

After completing the basic preparation, the new and established English clubs officially started their events for this year respectively.
The events organized by the clubs were roughly the same. Apart from the props and backdrops, what mattered now was the performances—whether they were perfect, smooth, and engaging.

Wow, it makes a lot of difference to spend a lot of money on it.


That’s right. It is good to have money.


You are wrong. It is good to have a secretary who can get sponsors.


…


In fact, the new English club is not so bad. The members are doing quite well and their English standard is quite high. Why did we not notice it in the past? We used to hear that the new English club was terrible. I thought that apart from being poor and not being able to secure the sponsors, they were simply as lousy as dung.


Haha, what a bad analogy. Stop your nonsense.

They had no interest in boring and simple performances.
If the club was short on money, there were a lot of restrictions on the performances that they were able to come up with.
For other clubs, members who joined the clubs would have to pay a membership fee, contributing to the activity fund.
However, the new English club was too poor.
They did not have enough members and they could not get any sponsors. Even if the members paid the membership fees, they might not be able to have the money to rent the costumes for the performance. There was no need to think about other aspects.

Looking at this year’s performance, the new English club seems to have a change of fate.


With Senior Gao and Junior Qiao around, they are bound to succeed.


…

The performances on stage were very interesting, and the audience was engaged in their discussions.
At this time, many people attributed the successful performance of the new English club today to Qiao Nan and forgot about the hard work and contribution made by the performers and Xu Shengnan.
In other circumstances, the seniors who had toiled their guts out and put in a lot of effort in the performances would have found Qiao Nan to be an eyesore.
They were the main performers and they worked the hardest. Why was it that a freshman who entered Peking University for a month took all the credit for their success?
However, the situation was different for the new English club.
Without a doubt, the seniors who were in charge of the performances were uncomfortable when they heard the discussion among the audience.
However, they would never vent their frustrations on Qiao Nan. They would not hate Qiao Nan or stack the deck against her and target her.
On the contrary, they were relieved and glad that after putting in so much effort into the performances, they finally had the chance to perform in front of the students and gain their recognition. The seniors were very grateful to Qiao Nan.
Everyone knew that the performances were made possible because of Qiao Nan.
Money was not everything, but one could not do without money.
If Qiao Nan did not secure the sponsorship for the club, giving them a chance to put up their best performances, other students would sneer at them regardless of how much they practiced.
With this in mind, even though most of the people present credited Qiao Nan for the successful performance, the performers were not angry or upset with Qiao Nan.
Xu Shengnan stood next to Qiao Nan. She handed a bottle of mineral water to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan, you are not simple.

As the vice chairman, Xu Shengnan was well aware of that.
All of the members who were in their second year were not upset with Qiao Nan. Instead, they respected her and were grateful to her. Xu Shengnan let out a long sigh. True enough, she had a discerning sense of judgment. She could tell that Qiao Nan was a prodigy.
