986 Force Someone to Put a Square Peg in a Round Hole

Zou Wenxuan bit nervously on the straw in her cup until it was flattened.

Like Xu Shengnan, Zou Wenxuan was the producer of the entire event and she preferred to stay quietly backstage instead of on stage.

In this way, Zou Wenxuan did not need to worry that other people would notice that she was biting on the straw, waiting nervously for Lü Yan’s latest updates.

“Senior Zou, there are some rumors that Vice President Xu wants Qiao Nan to take the stage and perform.” Lü Yan panted, her clothes drenched in perspiration. “Senior Zou, do you think Vice President Xu is too anxious and desperate times call for desperate measures? Qiao Nan is not prepared at all, and she hasn’t been on the stage. Could it be Vice President Xu wants Qiao Nan to go on stage and to tell a few jokes so as to extend the performance?”

If this were the case, their methods were neither brilliant nor sincere.

“It is Qiao Nan again?” Whatever that she feared turned out to be true. Zou Wenxuan sucked in her breath. “D-do you understand Qiao Nan?”

What Zou Wenxuan wanted to ask was whether Qiao Nan had any talents to perform on stage. “I want to know if Qiao Nan is good at singing and dancing. Or does she have other talents?”

Regardless, she was forced to go on stage at the last minute. The whole school knew about the program lists that were handed out long ago.

By then, even if Qiao Nan’s performance was unsatisfactory, nobody would really blame her for being insincere or feel that the new English club did not put in efforts to organize the event.

In Zou Wenxuan’s opinion, now that Xu Shengnan made Qiao Nan go on stage at the last minute, she could only be able to perform the few talents that she could think of just now.

“...” Lü Yan did not feel like answering the question.

Zou Wenxuan was angry at Lü Yan, who grew silent. She slammed her cup on the table, making a loud sound. “You have no answers to my questions. Get out!”

She could only relay to her whatever she heard. She was useless.

Apart from ratting on people, Lü Yan could not provide her with any useful and significant information. Zou Wenxuan was sick and tired of Lü Yan.

“Senior Zou, I...” Lü Yan’s eyes turned red. She had done so many things for Senior Zou. How could the senior lose her temper at her?

Qiao Nan thought deep and considered far, and she hid her real talents. Other than her, Tang Jiayun and Yu Xiaoxiao did not know anything about her as well. How could she be blamed for it?

“Leave!”

“Senior Zou, I will go out first. If there’s anything, you can call for me.” Zou Wenxuan seemed to be really furious. Even though Lü Yan felt that she was wronged and innocent, she had to leave abidingly.

She walked to the front of the stage and looked toward the area where the new English club was organizing its events. She snorted. “You won’t be smug for long.”

She might not know what talents Qiao Nan had.

But in her opinion, if Qiao Nan had the talents, why did she not make use of her position as the secretary of the new English club to earn a chance to perform? In that case, she could be well-known to all the teachers and students at the beginning of the school year.

Qiao Nan could make use of her position for her personal gains, but she did not. It proved that Qiao Nan did not have any talents.

After learning her lessons, Lü Yan had grown smarter. She knew that it was better to keep her speculations to herself, and in particular, not to tell people like Zou Wenxuan.

It would be alright if her guesses were correct. However, if her guesses were wrong, Zou Wenxuan, whom she had to suck up to, would dislike her even more and keep a distance from her.

Lü Yan had no other connections in the school. Up until now, no one was willing to be close to her because of the kept woman scandal.

Lü Yan was very upset at being ostracized by the students.

There was no way that she could be close to other freshmen in the same batch. She had given up hope on them and decided to work on pleasing her seniors.

Perhaps, she would fare better with this new plan.

She had offended every student in the same batch as her. Since Zou Wenxuan was the only senior who could help her, Lü Yan must not do anything to irritate her or be on bad terms with her.

If Qiao Nan performed in Feng Qianqian’s stead and failed to put up a good performance, the new English club would flop its events like what happened in the previous years.

In that case, Senior Zou would be elated and would treat her better. She might even take the position of Tang Jiayun to be her able assistant. By the time she was in her second year, she might become a committee member.

Compared to being a committee member of the new English club, she would rather be a committee member of the established English club.

There was a glitter in Lü Yan’s eyes. She stopped watching the performances put up by the established English club. Instead, she went over to watch the performances by the new English club.

She wanted to see for herself how Qiao Nan made a fool of herself in front of everyone. If Senior Zou asked her about it, she could then describe the situation vividly to Senior Zou, pleasing her.

Other than the people from the established English club, those who were watching the performances also heard that something had cropped up with the programs of the new English club.

Everyone thought that the new English club would be given a new lease of life with Qiao Nan’s help. The new English club must have been down on its luck for such an incident to happen right now.

Everyone was curious to know how the new English club was going to resolve the crisis. Would Xu Shengnan go on stage to perform and get everything under control?

It was Feng Qianqian’s turn to go on stage to perform.

Many people who had the new English club’s program list with them stared at Feng Qianqian’s name on the list and looked toward the empty stage. They were curious to see who would be performing.

The sound of hurried and heavy footsteps was amplified through the microphone. The sound was piercing. Many students who were watching the show could not help but frown and cover their ears. It was too deafening.

Qiao Nan, who wore a white T-shirt and a pair of straight long pants, appeared hurriedly on stage. A baseball cap was worn slanted on her head.

Qiao Nan smiled at the attention that was focused on her. “Embarrassing, it’s so embarrassing. I am being forced on stage. This is dominance, oppression, and ill-treatment! I want democracy and freedom to fight for my own rights!”

Qiao Nan raised her hands to her chest, adopting the stance of an activist.

“Hahahaha...”

The audience broke into a big laugh.

Everyone knew that Qiao Nan did not go on stage voluntarily. She was being forced to put a square peg in a round hole.
