The auntie was still carrying San Bao. Miao Jing was holding the chubby hands of her eldest and second eldest grandsons. “Your mother is going to school. Now, follow grandma and let’s have breakfast together, okay?”
The triplets were weaned off breast milk when they were five months old. When they were eight months old, they consumed less formula milk. Now, they were almost one year old and gradually introduced to staple food. The amount of milk that they would consume had simply become half a bottle of what was given just before they slept.
“Yes.”
“Food, food.”
The triplets had been carried to the table. That thick and mashed little millet porridge smelled extremely good. It was also easily digestible. Although it was almost tasteless, the triplets did not shun it at all.
“Hi, senior.”
“Senior Qiao.”
“Good morning, Senior Qiao.”
It was autumn in September and the autumn tigers were still prowling. However, the affectionate atmosphere in the school did not seem to have lessened.
“Hello, everyone.” Holding an umbrella and riding a small bicycle, Qiao Nan was speeding on the tracks of the school.
During the third year of her college studies, the classroom of Qiao Nan’s classes had been changed. It was much further away from the entrance of the school. For convenience, Miao Jing had purchased a small bicycle for Qiao Nan. It was normally parked near the entrance of the school.
No matter what, the speed of a two-wheeled vehicle was certainly faster than Qiao Nan’s two legs.
Xu Shengnan had graduated successfully with her graduation cap in summer this year.
As she had been interning in Gao Yan’s company for some time, undoubtedly, Xu Shengnan joined his company as soon as she graduated.
The difference was that instead of going through the probationary period which applied to newcomers, Xu Shengnan simply skipped this period and immediately drew the salary of a formal employee. She also enjoyed the benefits of a permanent employee.
Xu Shengnan’s situation made those who graduated at the same time as her red with envy. They were still worried about finding jobs.
Without Xu Shengnan’s help, Qiao Nan’s limelight in school did not reduce. On the contrary, many second-year students were aware that they had a very brilliant third-year senior by the name of Qiao Nan.
The new English club did not need to worry about sponsorships anymore. With money, it was easier to resolve issues.
Which students of Peking University were not capable ones? Not many.
The new English club had progressed well. As such, the selection requirements for its club members were stricter than before. The committee members that were selected were strong and capable elites in the school. Those who were incapable dared not even take up these roles.
Qiao Nan had been the vice president of the new English club for almost two years.
The new English club had developed so well. As the club’s vice president, Qiao Nan’s fame rose with the club naturally. Furthermore, until now, it was uncertain why, but any Peking University freshman who paid attention to the new English club would hear and spread the news that the new English club had been given a new lease of life due to Qiao Nan’s hard work and efforts.
There would not be the thriving and prosperous new English club today without Vice President Qiao’s doing her utmost to turn the tides.
Vice President Qiao had contributed greatly to the establishment and progress of the new English club.
As expected, given such rumors and progress of the new English club, Qiao Nan’s name and fame in Peking University could not be any less. She did not even need to do anything.
Clearly, Qiao Nan was not the pioneer who had established the club. It had always been Xu Shengnan, who had just graduate, who persisted and worked hard. However, the people in school would either keep mum or mention Qiao Nan’s name when they spoke about the new English club.
Gradually, one spread to ten and ten to a hundred. There were only two phrases and a full-stop in everyone’s heart: Qiao Nan equaled the new English club.
With such a beautiful ‘misunderstanding’, could the students in the school not behave affectionately toward Qiao Nan?
Qiao Nan, who never had the self-awareness of being a famous persona in the school, was used to her past habits. She would acknowledge with either a nod or greeting when people said hello to her.
Fortunately, she had been staying at her mother-in-law’s place and did not truly feel the changes associated with a famous persona in the school. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would not be able to bring herself to smile today.
This was the first class of the new school term. Hence, the dismissal time was earlier. Of course, this applied not only to Qiao Nan’s faculty.
Making use of the time from the early dismissal, Qiao Nan and the president of the new English club arranged a last-minute meeting to discuss the recruitment of incoming freshmen to be members of their club.
There was also something else. Qiao Nan was already in her third year of studies. During the first half of the coming year, Qiao Nan would spend less time in school due to internship. In other words, very soon, Qiao Nan would not have so much time and energy to organize the club activities or manage the club affairs.
In Qiao Nan’s perspective, she had not done a lot in the past one and a half years.
The only thing that Qiao Nan needed to focus on this semester was to find a good seedling to nurture and succeed her as the vice president.
“I have seen the plan to recruit new members to the club. There is no issue.” Qiao Nan read with speed and soon finished reviewing the plan. “President, regarding what I have mentioned previously, do you have any recommendation?”
The president looked awkward. “I have not thought it through given such a short time.”
Actually, it was not because he had not done so. There were just too many people who came knocking at his door and the president did not know who to choose and recommend to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan had greater deciding powers in determining who to take over her vice president role.
Well, many people in the club respected and listened to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan also took over the role of the vice president from Vice President Xu, didn’t she?
It was fine if Qiao Nan did not have anyone suitable in mind. Once she had someone in mind, most likely, the vice president role would be given to that individual.
By right, this matter should be handled and confirmed by Qiao Nan, just like what Xu Shengnan did in the past.
The problem was that, as a mother and someone who was very focused on her studies, Qiao Nan did not have so much extra time to understand the situations of the juniors.
As she did not have a lot of understanding, Qiao Nan did not want to casually appoint anyone in a slipshod way. Instead, she consulted the president’s views and checked if he had any good person to recommend so that she could review and make her choice.
It was not that no one wanted to self-recommend or personally go to Qiao Nan to market themselves for the role.
Qiao Nan really spent too little time in school. Besides attending classes, she was always in the library or on the way home. Other people really did not have the opportunity to communicate with Qiao Nan or establish their presence or gain her favor.
