Chapter 992 You Can Join the Party
“Without my fiancé, how would a small fly like me get to know that kind of classy character like my master?”
Brother Zhai was aware. Without Brother Zhai, how could she possibly have a master?
“Oh… I feel more assured then.” Xu Shengnan heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her junior was too young and did not know that people nowadays were not as honest as they used to be. She was fearful that she would be cheated by others.
Although Xu Shengnan was aware that the kept woman scandal previously was completely untrue, she had to take precautions for some matters.
She could tell that Qiao Nan, her junior, was a very abiding person who was not very ambitious.
Clearly, her junior could take the opportunity of this event to gather power in the club. The problem was that the party concerned completely did not harbor such a wish or intention.
If she had not forced Qiao Nan to work and pull her along to familiarize herself with various events and its contents, Qiao Nan would have been happier to stay by the side and slack.
This was such a simple and unambitious person. Xu Shengnan felt that it was unnecessary for Qiao Nan to come into contact with high-status individuals. She could lead a simple and honest life on her own. Someone who was easily contented would definitely be much happier than the average person.
At the thought of this, Xu Shengnan felt very sullen. Was she treating Qiao Nan as her own daughter? She was worried about so many things and even wanted to help her take precautions.
“Sure, quickly go home. See you at school tomorrow.”
“Okay. Goodbye, everyone.” Qiao Nan sensibly waved goodbye to everyone. She then walked toward her own home, leaving behind a group of seniors who were stunned.
At that moment, someone said softly, “Is there any more of such masters around? I don’t need a dozen. Give me half a dozen. That will do.”
Xu Shengnan turned back and rolled her eyes. “You are thinking too much. It’s faster if you dream of such matters.” Damn, it had gone haywire. Initially, she wanted to ask Qiao Nan the name of the English song that the latter sang on stage today and who was the original singer.
Forget it. She could ask about it tomorrow.
After Qiao Nan arrived home, she quickly did a combat bath.
She had been forced up the stage to perform today. As there was not enough time, sadly, Xu Shengnan had forced some makeup on Qiao Nan before she went on stage.
This was because one’s features, without makeup, would look unflattering under the strong spotlights.
Qiao Nan had been arranged to perform at the last minute. Xu Shengnan did not have any expectations on the quality of the performance. However, Xu Shengnan also said that they would do their best on the things within their control. They would not slack and would do everything to the best of their ability.
Qiao Nan, who had not done any makeup in two lifetimes, had her first makeup done in such a chaotic manner. She did not feel that it was a beautiful experience.
As such, Qiao Nan, who was not used to having so many things applied on her face, had been tolerating for a long time. When the show ended, she had already dabbed the tissue paper with water and continuously rubbed the makeup off her face. However, she still did not feel comfortable.
Qiao Nan could not care if it would hurt her skin. She simply used the sulfur soap to wash her face.
It was only when she confirmed that her face felt fresh and comfortable that she felt more at ease.
After she finished bathing and washing her face, her skin felt dry. She took out a big bottle of moisturizer. She did not mind the trouble as she started applying the cream, starting from her face to her legs.
After finishing all these, Qiao Nan yawned and lay on the bed. She fell asleep soundly thereafter.
The next day, when Qiao Nan was carrying her schoolbag and running to her classroom, she felt some schoolmates whom she did not know smiling at her from time to time. The smiles made Qiao Nan have goose bumps all over.
The good thing was that Qiao Nan was quite big-hearted. Since people were willing to look at her, she would let them do so. She would not lose a piece of flesh anyway. It would not affect her much.
Putting aside this matter, Qiao Nan followed her usual routine and returned to her previous life. She continued to focus on three areas.
Initially, after the event of the new English club had ended, Qiao Nan simply cast this matter aside and ignored it. However, very soon, Qiao Nan began to understand that after she became the secretary of the new English club, she benefited more than she could imagine. It was not as if she could wash her hands off everything after the event had ended and after she had done her part.
“The club has given me this place?” When she received the news, Qiao Nan was quite surprised. She had thought that she would be eligible for this only when she was in her second year and had made some achievements.
As a student, Qiao Nan was very clear about a certain process. One would join the communist youth league in junior high school and the party in college.
When she was in junior high school, Qiao Nan’s results were good and she was also a class committee member. As such, she was the first batch of students to join the league. However, when she attended Peking University that was filled with talents, Qiao Nan did not think much about this. She intended to do well for a couple of semesters before she would look for a chance to join the party.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Nan was given the opportunity when she was in her first year of college studies.
“Right, it has been given to you.” Xu Shengnan smiled. “Of course, it is also your luck. It is a situation of reciprocity and mutual benefit. We have very few club members. If we did not secure sponsorships and receive the school’s approval to take in a group of new members, you would be the only new member in the club. Also, everyone can see your contribution to this round of events. In addition, the other members just joined us. As such, you can say that I am giving this place to you. You can also say that no one is qualified to compete with you for this place.”
“Woo…” Qiao Nan was overjoyed. Her efforts were not wasted. She had been associated with this good matter.
To Qiao Nan, who preferred soldier attire to feminine one, besides her liking for soldiers, she was also passionate about joining the party.
In her previous life, Qiao Nan did not graduate from high school. She was only a league member until her death. She did not even have a chance to become a party member.
The other passion that she had in her two lifetimes had been gifted to her at no cost by Xu Shengnan today, so how could Qiao Nan not feel elated? “When are the classes starting?” This was only the first year of her college studies and she could already join the class. She would then write to apply to join the party thereafter.
Hahaha, perhaps she could become a party member before she graduated.
“There is no hurry in this. If there are really classes starting, the school will notify everyone together. You just have to keep a lookout during normal times.” Qiao Nan was not affected by many things. Even at the major event yesterday, Qiao Nan was so nonchalant that she did not even have the self-awareness of a famous personality in the school. At the sight of Qiao Nan being so emotional and elated, Xu Shengnan felt that it was hard to come by. “You’re so happy? You really wish to join the party?”
“Happy!” Qiao Nan nodded with might. “I wish to join the party very much!”
Xu Shengnan felt that this was getting interesting. “Why do you wish to join the party?”
She was aware that people from the 1950s and 1960s wished to join the party very much. They especially respected Chairman Mao. However, people of Qiao Nan’s age were not so enthusiastic about joining the party. This was rare.
“When my dad was young, he was a soldier. My grandpa carried guns and went to the battlefield to fight with the Japanese before.” Qiao Nan’s eyes were shimmering brightly. Although she had never seen her own grandfather before, her father would often carry her and tell her stories of her grandfather when the latter was alive.
