Chapter 980 - Insisted on Not Changing the Schedule (1/2)
First, would the two English clubs that had been organizing events on the same day every year stagger their respective event dates? This was the first and foremost matter that many people in the school were keeping a lookout for.
These people were reaching out their necks and waiting for the two English clubs to announce their specific event dates.
Xu Shengnan had already decided on the timings of the events for the new English club. In fact, in the past, Xu Shengnan was always the one who had decided on the timings first, followed by Zou Wenxuan. Once the schedule for the new English club events had been confirmed, they would wait for Zou Wenxuan’s schedule.
This year, would Zou Wenxuan follow previous years’ practice and continue to be at odds with Xu Shengnan?
The old English club had a lengthy discussion regarding this matter.
Others were not aware of this situation but Yu Xiaoxiao was most well-informed.
Yu Xiaoxiao was just an ordinary club member. Initially, she would not have a chance to partic.i.p.ate in such meetings. However, she had been summoned by Zou Wenxuan to prepare beverages for the various committee members.
As such, it was inevitable that Yu Xiaoxiao heard some of the content of the discussion.
Most of the committee members of the old English club expressed that the equipment and setup of the new English club were really good. If they were to compete head-on with them, they would first lose out in this aspect.
If the old English club wanted to guard its status and influence, it should give play to its strengths and circ.u.mvent its shortcomings. They should not become an accessory to the new English club. They would not compete with them on the equipment and setup. Instead, they would compete on the content and quality of the events.
In short, the dates of the club events had to be different from that of the new English club.
Many people but one person shared the same view. Zou Wenxuan was the exception. “On what basis? We have been doing this every year. Why are we making an exception this year? You think that we are playing to our strengths and circ.u.mventing our weaknesses. However, will other students perceive it this way?”
Under her arrangements, the date of their English club event had always been on the same day as the new English club for the past two years.
Zou Wenxuan remembered very clearly. Each time she did that, more or less, there would be people commenting that she was too unruly. Why would the old English club bully the new English club in this way?
How was this different from the big one bullying the small one?
Hearing these words, Zou Wenxuan had never bowed her head to them.
Was she the one bullying ‘others’ or was it the other way round?
In particular, during the first year when she was organizing the events, clearly, she had already decided on the date. However, she did not know how Xu Shengnan found out about it. Xu Shengnan announced the date to the school just before she could do so.
Obviously, Xu Shengnan was the one in the wrong. Why should she give Xu Shengnan and the new English club any face? She would not change her original date. She would not!
That was how the ‘coincidental’ event schedule in the first year came about. For the second time, Zou Wenxuan might as well go according to Xu Shengnan’s wish and made the events of the two clubs happen at the same time. Zou Wenxuan had completely subdued Xu Shengnan for two consecutive years. This was the last year that she would be involved in the events. She actually had to change the date. Zou Wenxuan expressed that this was impossible. “Have you thought about it? Once we change the date, how will the students in the school view us? It means that we are giving up before fighting. Everyone will think that we are scared of Xu Shengnan, that we have to avoid their limelight as the old English club can’t beat the new English club. You can afford to lose this face but I can’t!”
In her lifetime, Zou Wenxuan had never been truly afraid of anyone, and neither did she have to avoid anyone while walking.
