At the sight of Lü Yan’s and Tang Jiayun’s situations, Yu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and shifted sideways to distance herself from them. In the future, it was best that the four dormitory mates each take a corner of the four directions-north, south, east, and west-so that they could stay away from one another.
Yu Xiaoxiao could not figure it out. Clearly, she had been very much looking forward to college life before the school term commenced. She had hoped for good-tempered dormitory mates so that everyone could become friends and go through the four-year college life together happily.
She harbored such great expectations previously. However, why was the outcome so disappointing?
Although the situations in the dormitories of other classmates were not very harmonious, it was not unlike hers whereby everyone was at loggerhead with one another.
The only difference was that when the four dormitory mates were not getting along, everyone sided with the three of them. Now, everyone was on Qiao Nan’s side.
Toward all these, Qiao Nan did not seem to care. In particular, toward the situations of Lü Yan, Tang Jiayun, and Yu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Nan simply and automatically turned a blind eye on them.
Initially, Qiao Nan was not concerned about the activities of the English club anymore. She had secured the sponsorship. That meant that she had fulfilled her responsibility as the secretary of the club.
However, Xu Shengnan insisted that Qiao Nan meet her in the meeting room. Qiao Nan could only do so.
“Vice President Xu…” Could it be that Gao Yan’s sponsorship had not come through? Hence, Vice President Xu wanted her to help resolve it together? “Is it because there is a problem with the sponsorship? Or is there anything that requires me to communicate with Gao Yan?”
“No need, no need. Qiao Nan, you have already done very well.” Her attitude was totally different from the first time that she met Qiao Nan in the meeting room. From their first meeting, Xu Shengnan had categorized Qiao Nan as Zou Wenxuan’s type based on the latter’s looks and was prejudiced against Qiao Nan due to that first impression. However, at this moment, Xu Shengnan wanted to give offerings to Qiao Nan as if the latter was Buddha. “Qiao Nan, do you know that we have many new members joining our club recently?”
At the thought of that name list, Xu Shengnan really wished to put her hands on her waist, look at the sky, and give three loud laughs. Goodness gracious, the day she had been waiting for had finally arrived.
The situation of the new English club was basically a vicious cycle. They could not find anyone to join them. There were no sponsorships and the activities were lackluster. As the club was not outstanding, they were not able to attract new members in the coming year.
As a good club, it not only had to secure sponsorships but also, most importantly, needed to have many club members who were outstanding
The club’s membership size was like withered and dead leaves hanging on the branches in late autumn. Not to mention the number of outstanding members, the membership size was already pitifully small. It made people want to shed tears of pity for it.
Nevertheless, at this juncture, the sponsorship had just come in and there was also a huge batch of freshmen who were willing to join the English club. This made the new English club that had a leader without any new members, except for the secretary, became stronger and bigger. How could Xu Shengnan not feel happy?!
Xu Shengnan knew that these changes were brought about by Qiao Nan.
Finally, she could fulfill her wish in her final year of studies. How could Xu Shengnan not like Qiao Nan and give offerings to her like she was Buddha?
“It is way past the deadline to take in new club members. Is it really alright to take in new members at this time?” Qiao Nan, whom Xu Shengnan had asked to sit down, was in a great shock. Those people had really registered for the new English club and they had succeeded.
“Of course! What’s not good about it?!” Tears welled up in Xu Shengnan’s eyes. “Qiao Nan, you don’t know how difficult it is for this club to exist. As we don’t have many club members, it is very difficult to carry out our work and activities. Actually, the school is already starting to have the intention to do away with this club.”
Previously, the former English club was great. Everyone wanted to register to be its club member. Unfortunately, they could only take in a limited number of students each year. Hence, they had rejected many.
Precisely due to that, some of the seniors set up a new English club that was similar but with a new name.
The annoying thing was that in the first year, the new English club had many club members. However, following that, the number of members decreased year after year. There were too few members to carry out activities. Having this club in the school was no different from not having it.
This was the last year that Xu Shengnan would be the vice president in the new English club. It was also highly possible that this was the last year that the new English club would exist.
Xu Shengnan was very eager to get the club activities going. Besides doing herself proud, she also hoped that the new English club could continue its presence in the school.
Before Qiao Nan’s appearance, heaven knew how despaired Xu Shengnan and some of the old committee members felt.
Initially, these old committee members dared not hope for new recruits to join their club. Nevertheless, Qiao Nan was the eccentric one. Clearly, her grades were very good. She did not register for the former English club but came to the new one.
It was also because they really lacked members. In addition, it was hard to come by that Qiao Nan was willing to join the English club on her own accord. As such, she assumed the role of a secretary.
So as to speak, everyone gained something despite all the wrongs.
Xu Shengnan did not expect that such a seemingly heartless junior who came knocking at their door aimlessly really brought the dead English club back to life. It had been an opportunity to get a new lease on life.
No one could understand how emotional and touched Xu Shengnan felt when she saw so many people willing to join the new English club. All of them looked for her to ‘open a back door’ so that they could join the club.
If Xu Shengnan was not putting up a strong font by enduring and forcefully subduing this gush of emotions, any ordinary person would have cried at the sight of the situation. It was truly not easy.
“It is way past the deadline. Moreover, you’re not letting in just one or two students. Notwithstanding anything else, what if others target us because of this?” After all, they were not adhering to the usual procedures.
Other matters were not so worrying. However, the new English club had just secured sponsorship. At this juncture, most likely, many were unhappy and would certainly keep a close watch on the club.
Qiao Nan felt that it did not seem very right to let so many people get in through the back door at the same time. “If someone reports this to the school, it will put our club in a more difficult position.”
“It won’t.” Xu Shengnan sniffed. There was a flash of confidence in her eyes. “In actual fact, the activity this year is our last chance. I was the one who begged for this opportunity. Hence, there is a unique situation in our club. Precisely because too few people joined us, I have reported this to the school’s leadership long ago. The teachers support us very much in launching the activities. Hence, there should be no problem.”
No one knew how much effort Xu Shengnan had put in for the new English club.
“There is such a matter?” Qiao Nan was very surprised. “The new English club’s situation is so terrible?” This meant that if not for Vice President Xu’s hard work, the new English club would have ceased to exist this year?
During the day of the registration, Qiao Nan was also muddleheaded. She just picked a club that was unpopular.
“Why do you think you’re the only clueless one that registered to join our new English club then?”
