Chapter 957 - Had Powerful Backing (1/2)
However, Xu Shengnan was not foolish and she could hear clearly.
The person who offered the sponsors.h.i.+p had a hidden agenda and was after Qiao Nan. Although Xu Shengnan wanted to defeat Zou Wenxuan, she would not sacrifice Qiao Nan.
It was one thing to know, but it was another thing to be rational about it. Xu Shengnan’s heart ached at the loss that she almost fainted.
Fine, she would not be able to defeat Zou Wenxuan for the event this year. Even if she wanted to compete with her in the future, she had to do so after she graduated and joined the workforce.
Xu Shengnan seemed different from her usual bustling and energetic self. Instead, she looked dejected. She flopped on the chair and seemed to be in a trance. She seemed to have completely given up on the sponsors.h.i.+p.
It was not easy to get sponsors.h.i.+p from Senior Gao, and they could not accept the sponsors.h.i.+p that was offered to them. The new English club was really down on its luck.
Hopefully, after a few years when she returned to Peking University, the new English club would still be running. It must not be ruined under her hands.
Zou Wenxuan’s mood was only slightly better than Xu Shengnan’s. Zou Wenxuan used to think that she had overestimated Qiao Nan. It was too timid of her to be intimidated by her just because of the false thread.
Right now, Zou Wenxuan had other thoughts.
When Qiao Nan joined Peking University, her details might have said that she did not come from a well-to-do family. However, Qiao Nan seemed to be acquainted with important and influential figures.
The Feng family?
Zou Wenxuan heard from three of Qiao Nan’s roommates that the Feng family was wealthy and they were serious about providing sponsors.h.i.+ps.
If Qiao Nan agreed to the sponsors.h.i.+p, Xu Shengnan would already be celebrating with Qiao Nan. They would be rejoicing over the success of the new English club and that it could finally take its first and most difficult step toward success.
Xu Shengnan was dealt with a hard blow. She seemed to have given up totally. Zou Wenxuan felt slightly better at Xu Shengnan’s dejected look.
Both of them were Qiao Nan’s seniors. She was not the only person who was dealt a hard blow by Qiao Nan. She felt much comforted that Xu Shengnan was in a worse state than her.
Qiao Nan bucked up. She had no idea why Vice President Xu seemed to be very dejected.
The talk started right then.
Qiao Nan fixed her gaze on the senior whom Xu Shengnan and Zou Wenxuan had described as being very brilliant and outstanding.
Qiao Nan counted with her fingers. The senior might be very smart, studied a double major in college, and made use of connections to finish the required modules and graduate ahead of time. Regardless of how he cut down in time, he should be in the same batch as her seniors.
It was alright for her to address him as senior, but why would her seniors address him as senior as well?
