Chapter 958 Turned Out That They Knew Each Other
Perhaps it would not take long before the two of them turned hostility into friendship and became each other’s bosom friends.
Qiao Nan fixed her gaze on the man who was in his suit, standing at the podium. He was confident and self-effacing. He had the charisma of a successful businessman. Qiao Nan shook her head. She had the feeling that Senior Gao seemed to be very familiar as if she had seen him somewhere.
Xu Shengnan noticed that Qiao Nan was behaving oddly. She waved her hands in front of Qiao Nan. “Stop looking at him. Don’t tell me that you have seen him before and that you know him. This trick is not effective on him.” Furthermore, Zou Wenxuan had been eyeing him covetously and had some past friendship with him.
It was good for them if Qiao Nan succeeded. If she failed, the new English club would miss their shot at success and would be making a fool of themselves in front of Zou Wenxuan.
Xu Shengnan could not be humiliated in front of Zou Wenxuan.
Zou Wenxuan lifted her chin. She was glad that Xu Shengnan knew her limitations.
Qiao Nan nodded obediently. She knew that it was impossible for her to know the legendary Senior Gao. Even if she had seen him before, she must have read about him on the school’s magazine, talking about how he was the model student. That must be the reason why it left an impression on her.
While Qiao Nan was in a trance, the event ended in no time.
Regardless of their motives in attending the talk, everyone gave him a big round of applause.
Qiao Nan applauded as well while whispering to Xu Shengnan. “Senior, have you given up on the idea of getting sponsorship from the senior? Many of the students have left. Should we leave as well?”
Xu Shengnan shot Qiao Nan a dejected look. “Are you very happy? There is no hope of securing funds from Senior Gao, and I have no wish to probe about the phone call and your refusal from just now. But the problem is that unless we give up on organizing the event, you will still need to get the sponsorship. This means you have to rack your brains to come up with a way.”
Now that this method would not work out, Qiao Nan had to find another way of getting the money. Qiao Nan should not be too happy that they had one less option.
Qiao Nan stiffened. Indeed, like Vice President Xu had said, she should not rejoice too early. She still had work to do. “Vice President Xu, let’s not give up right away. Shall we give it another try?”
In the capital, the Feng family aside, or rather, she did not know anyone, including the Feng family.
Now that they had no hopes of getting sponsorship from Senior Gao, and as she was new to the capital, she was helpless.
Xu Shengnan patted Qiao Nan on the shoulder. “Sure, let’s try again. We should make a Hail Mary effort. Perhaps we will succeed.”
Even if they were not successful, it was a good idea to be a hindrance to Zou Wenxuan so that she would not succeed so easily. “The school management committee has left. Let’s hurry up. We must not miss such a good chance.” Zou Wenxuan had left her and Qiao Nan by themselves. Without another word, Xu Shengnan pulled Qiao Nan with her to catch up with Zou Wenxuan.
Zou Wenxuan turned to see that they were catching up with her. She snorted and moved to stand in the middle, blocking the narrow passageway so that Qiao Nan and Xu Shengnan could not reach Senior Gao before her.
Gao Yan drank some water to soothe his throat. He looked up and saw three female students coming his way.
Gao Yan’s eyes lit up, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. He looked directly at the three of them.
Zou Wenxuan, who was blocking Xu Shengnan’s path, could not help but blush at Gao Yan’s gaze. Her hands and legs stiffened and she was so nervous that she almost forgot how to walk.
Zou Wenxuan seemed to have difficulty in coordinating her hands and legs and tripped.
Fortunately, Xu Shengnan and Qiao Nan supported Zou Wenxuan from the back. Otherwise, Zou Wenxuan might have fallen and made a fool of herself in front of her Prince Charming.
After steadying Zou Wenxuan, Xu Shengnan slapped her right hand with her left hand unhappily. “Such a good-for-nothing hand. Why did you support her?”
Zou Wenxuan was acquainted with Senior Gao. He was only short of walking forward to greet her. Even if she made a fool of herself, Senior Gao would not take issue with her.
Xu Shengnan snorted. Zou Wenxuan was in such a favorable position.
Could it be that although Senior Gao did not go into a relationship when he was in school, he, in fact, had a good impression of Zou Wenxuan? Now that he had graduated, he finally revealed his feelings for her?
Xu Shengnan was jealous and envious at the thought of that.
He was such an outstanding Prince Charming. Every woman would like him. Xu Shengnan was one of them.
Xu Shengnan was as listless as a frosted eggplant. “Qiao Nan, there is no hope for us. Senior Gao is acquainted with Zou Wenxuan. There is no way that we can do anything about the sponsorship. Let’s go.” Even if they lingered around, they would not be a hindrance to Zou Wenxuan. Or rather, they would have to watch them as they talked happily with each other.
Qiao Nan grabbed Xu Shengnan, who was about to leave. “Vice President Xu, what’s the hurry? We must stay until the last moment.” Senior Zou had yet to get the money.
Qiao Nan had made up her mind. In order to avoid being targeted by the Feng family, she would spend all her efforts on the ‘impossible’ Senior Gao so that the Feng family would not have the chance to offer their money.
She had to use her glib tongue on Senior Gao to get sponsorship from him!
“You are indeed here.”
“Senior Gao.”
Zou Wenxuan, who walked toward Gao Yan, saw him walked past her to stand right in front of Xu Shengnan and Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan, who had made up her mind, saw this change of events and smiled. “Vice President Xu, here is our chance! It seems that not only does Senior Zou know Senior Gao, but you know him as well! I can’t believe it. Vice President Xu, you are incredible.”
Qiao Nan grabbed Xu Shengnan’s arm anxiously. Since Xu Shengnan had this trump card, there was no need for her to attend the talk with the vice president. Given the current situation, it was clear that Vice President Xu had a closer relationship with Senior Gao than Senior Zou. The new English club would definitely get the sponsorship.
Xu Shengnan, who hung her head, heard Qiao Nan’s words and stood upright, staring incredulously at Senior Gao, who was indeed standing right in front of her with a friendly smile on his face.
My goodness! Had love struck?!
Xu Shengnan, who was dizzy with happiness, felt weak in her legs. She had no idea since when did she have a close friendship with Senior Gao. She had no recollection at all. She must be dreaming.
Xu Shengnan smiled brightly like a besotted fool while Zou Wenxuan turned green with anger. After everything, it turned out that she had underestimated Xu Shengnan. She had been modest about her skill.
