1243 Nepotism

As they could not work on Qiao Nan at all, smart people would naturally divert their attention to the president. They hoped that the president could recommend and put in more good words for them to Qiao Nan.

It was fine if there were only a couple of them. The president could just hand these people to Qiao Nan and let Qiao Nan wrack her brains in the decision-making.

However, there were too many people approaching him. The president could not possibly pass the information of all of them to Qiao Nan for her selection.

When a club was developing well, countless ambitious students who wanted to do well in college would set their eyes on the reputable vice president role.

“Vice President Qiao Nan, you still have more than six months to decide on this matter. There’s no hurry.” When Qiao Nan enquired about this matter, the president looked embarrassed. In the end, he still decided to hold back the names of all those who came to look for him.

It was not appropriate to recommend anyone given that so many people had approached him. If he were to recommend more than one person, the decision would still lie with Qiao Nan eventually. Only Qiao Nan’s words would count.

They were at a sensitive time whereby there were changes to the happenings in the school.

All of them were college students who would step out into real society to work and live independently soon. Under such circumstances, the students’ mindsets would become more fickle and complex. Hence, some of the common phenomena in society might not be completely absent in school.

The president was still hoping that he could retire peacefully and honorably.

If someone were to catch a handle of him at this time and smear his name, he would have ruined the great honor that he was initially due to receive. Wouldn’t he lose more than he gained then?

The president did not wish to spoil the ship for a halfpenny’s worth of tar because of some meager benefits.

He was already in his third year of studies and would opt for his internship very soon. He would then find an employer and work hard after he graduated from his fourth and final year of studies.

There was nothing more important than getting a good assessment from school. It was better to discard that meager gain. When he stepped out into society and find a good job, this little benefit would be worthless!

Having made this decision, the ball was once again in Qiao Nan’s court. “Vice President Qiao, I am in the same predicament as you. You are troubled over finding a successor for vice president, and I am also troubled over finding someone to take my role. Vice President Qiao, I suggest that you take the opportunity during the next two club events to spend more time and observe the existing or up and rising new members. I really can’t help you.”

Qiao Nan closed the proposal that was in her hands, looking helpless. “Okay, I will try my best to find time to observe.”

She could select not only second-year but also first-year students to succeed her as the vice president. One had to know. Didn’t Xu Shengnan also choose Qiao Nan in this way?

The problem was that most of the school activities were carried out during evening and night times. There were very few activities that occurred during the day.

As a mother, Qiao Nan had very little time. She could only try her best to squeeze out some.

Besides the issue of selecting a vice president successor, the rest of the problems were easier to discuss and resolve.

Similarly, the new English club did not need to worry about sponsorships this year. The only difference was that the person who discussed the various issues of the sponsorship with the new English club was not someone else but Qiao Nan’s old friend, Xu Shengnan.

Qiao Nan could guess a little what Gao Yan and Xu Shengnan had in mind.

As a student, one would worry about finding a good place for an internship for them to learn and accumulate more practical work experience. At this time, Gao Yan’s company could offer such opportunities.

Of course, the students also had to go through a selection procedure by the company.

Occasionally, some of the good companies as well as honors graduates who had been in touch with their alma mater would provide a few rare internship roles. However, students who were not outstanding enough could forget about these few vacancies.

There were only a few excellent roles but so many students needed internships. Even the students who failed to get the role were good and capable ones.

At this time, Gao Yan’s company could ‘ride on’ the alumni and seniors to poach capable and patient juniors who could take pressure to his company for internships.

This internship was also a test and observation platform set up by Gao Yan for these juniors.

For those who performed well, Xu Shengnan would be an example of their future. For those who did not do well, this would be nothing more than an internship. After it ended, they would say goodbye and need to appear again during the longer internship period happening in their fourth-year. One had to give others a chance too, right?

Due to areas of expertise required, Qiao Nan very seldom recommended such people to Gao Yan despite knowing his plans.

Nevertheless, as long as Qiao Nan made a recommendation, Gao Yan would give Qiao Nan face. As of now, Qiao Nan had not been wrong in her recommendations.

In fact, Qiao Nan becoming increasingly famous in school was also largely because of this reason.

Qiao Nan was only in her second year of college studies, yet she could already recommend a third-year senior in her club to Gao Yan’s company such that this senior would have the chance to become colleagues with Xu Shengnan. Besides Qiao Nan, who could do such an amazing thing?

Similar to Qiao Nan, the president also faced the difficulties of finding an internship. Initially, the president had thought of taking advantage of his favorable position. When he and Qiao Nan were still familiar with each other, he wanted to request Qiao Nan to help him by recommending him to Senior Gao’s company.

The boss of this company was his senior. Besides, many formal employees in the company were his former school mates.

The president felt that if he had the opportunity to work in this company, the work atmosphere would definitely be much better than in other companies. Furthermore, Senior Gao’s company was on track and was progressing better year by year. Last year, they had clinched a huge business. The company had also shifted from the 3rd Ring Road to the 2nd Ring Road. They might even move to the 1st Ring Road at some point in time.

If he did not get into this kind of company now, he might not be able to get in later.

The president knew that someone like himself had to give it a try soon. If he waited for another one or two years, only a few top-notch students from the few faculties famous in the school could receive internships from the company.

However, the president aborted this idea very soon.

Qiao Nan told the president very truthfully. “Gao Yan’s company is lacking in talent. Gao Yan is recruiting with the aim of converting them into permanent employees. Of course, they have to have corresponding expertise and knowledge. President, which one do you think you are suitable for?”

Any recommendation was a recommendation. As long as the other party was someone with true capability and was a talent needed by Gao Yan, Qiao Nan had no qualms about nepotism.

Nepotism?

This was crap! She had just arrived in a metropolis like the capital and did not have any close kin here.
