However, Xu Shengnan was not foolish and she could hear clearly.
The person who offered the sponsorship 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 sponsorship.
It was not easy to get sponsorship from Senior Gao, and they could not accept the sponsorship 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 sponsorships.
If Qiao Nan agreed to the sponsorship, 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?
Her two seniors did not skip a grade, while the senior did. In that case, Senior Gao should be older than her and as compared to her seniors…
The three of them should be the same age. It was even likely that Senior Gao was younger than her two seniors.
Nevertheless, Qiao Nan would not be such a fool to bring up her doubts. Every woman would take issue that they were old and no longer young.
“He is very handsome, right?” Gone was the dejected look on Xu Shengnan’s face. Since she had no confidence in getting the sponsorship and was ready to give up, she might as well sit back and relax as she listened to the talk. It was pointless to torture herself. “Indeed, Senior Gao is very dashing. If he did not graduate within such a short period of time, he would be the most handsome boy at Peking University. No one would be able to take his place.”
“Does Senior Xu think that he is very handsome as well?”
“…” Xu Shengnan gave Qiao Nan a disdainful look. “Regardless of my personality, I am still an ordinary woman. Senior Gao is so outstanding and talented. I am not blind. It is natural that I have a good impression of him. It is a pity that he has graduated. Furthermore, when he was still in school, many female students gave him love letters, but he never accepted any of them. Qiao Nan, do you think it is possible for him not to like women?”
Every woman, including seniors and juniors as well as his peers, liked Senior Gao. Some were delicately pretty while others were beautiful and gracious. All types of women liked him, but he did not accept any of them.
In ancient times, the emperor’s harem was not as strict as this. Why did it seem as if Senior Gao was stricter than when the emperor was choosing concubines?
If the problems did not lie with the female college students, it must have to do with Senior Gao.
Qiao Nan curled the corner of her lips at the topic that was being discussed. “Vice President Xu, I have only joined Peking University for a month, and I don’t know many people. If not for you, I wouldn’t know that there was such a senior in our university. I have no idea why he did not have any girlfriend.”
As for whether he was gay, Qiao Nan had no wish to express her opinions. This matter had nothing to do with her. She could not be bothered with it.
“This is just a casual and private chat between us. I don’t mean anything else. I am in the same batch as him. All of us are speculating and betting about why he is not in a relationship. Now that we’re talking about him, I am reminded of the bet. That’s why I discussed it with you.” Xu Shengnan made her comments nonchalantly. She did not feel that there was anything wrong with what she just said.
Zou Wenxuan, who was ambitious and dreamed of becoming his wife, frowned. “Don’t make false guesses. Senior Gao does not have a good temper. If he learns about it, he may sue you for defamation. Even if you have no hopes of getting the sponsorship, you should not be saying this.”
If the senior was gay, it would mean that she did not have any chance at all.
Moreover, he was so dashing. It was a pity if he preferred men.
Zou Wenxuan’s expression darkened right then. “Xu Shengnan, do you feel that it is not easy being a woman? When one is dating, one has to compete with other women to get the man that one likes. After getting married, one has to guard against third parties. Right now, one still has to compete with men for the man that she likes…”
Xu Shengnan patted Zou Wenxuan’s shoulder. “You should look at it this way. It is true that men could be gays, but women could be lesbians as well. In this case, as a man, one has to compete with other men for the woman he likes and he has to guard against the third party in his marriage. He also has to compete with other women for the woman he likes. You will feel much better this way.”
“Have you seen such cases?” She had heard of gays, but not for lesbians.
Minutes ago, both of them were at loggerheads with each other. However, minutes later, they were happily engaged in their own conversation. Qiao Nan cupped her chin in her hand and rolled her eyes at the unexplainable hostility and camaraderie between the two of them.
