985 I Am Not Dong Cunrui
“What?!” Qiao Nan, who helped support Feng Qianqian, was thinking of sending her to the sick bay or to the hospital. Instead, Xu Shengnan ordered Qiao Nan to stand in for Feng Qianqian out of the blue. Qiao Nan was totally caught off guard and was dumbstruck. “Vice President Xu, what did you say just now? I didn’t hear you clearly. A-are you kidding?”
Crap! In order to do better than the established English club and to hold their heads high, all the performers of the new English club had practiced for a long time.
They did not dare to relax or be lax with their rehearsals even during summer breaks.
Her intention from the start was to be responsible for backstage and do a good job. In the end, she was entrusted with more and more responsibilities.
Feng Qianqian had a fever and could not perform on stage. It was too much of Vice President Xu to want her to perform in her stead. “Vice President Xu, you had better find someone else. I don’t have any experience in performing, and neither have I prepared any program or have any talent. Since it is a performance, one must need music and props. I did not prepare anything. Please stop teasing me.”
Vice President Xu seemed to have the habit of delegating every single task to her. Did she take her for a superwoman?
“Vice President Xu.” The president’s expression darkened. Of course, his anger was not directed at Qiao Nan. He was upset that such an incident happened at this juncture.
They had clearly…
But for something like this to happen now, it was too frustrating.
The president did not blame Feng Qianqian. It might be wrong of her to keep quiet that she was sick, but that was because she really wanted to participate in the event and do her best.
She had good intentions, but what she did was wrong.
Since she valued the event, all the more she must report any unforeseen circumstances to them.
There were not many members in the new English club. The president and Xu Shengnan had already mobilized everyone that they possibly could during the summer break.
Therefore, now that this happened, the new English club did not have any backup program.
Otherwise, Xu Shengnan would not assign multiple tasks to Qiao Nan and treat her as a know-all.
“President, vice president, Feng Qianqian is running a fever. We are done with our performances and we are not needed anymore. How about we send her to the hospital first?” Several students who were the first to perform today said anxiously.
“Okay. There is no time to delay.” The president nodded and made way so that they could send Feng Qianqian to the hospital.
The programs had all been arranged beforehand. Now that Feng Qianqian could not perform, there would be changes to the original timing.
They could change the program lists. However, it would be a big problem if the number of performances and the total duration of the whole program was reduced.
Nobody wanted to lose out to others.
It was especially so for Xu Shengnan. She knew the total duration of the entire program of the established English club.
Even though there were not as many members in her club, she had told her members that they must not lose out to the established English club.
In short, since they could not compete with the established English club in terms of their props or quality of the performances, they must not lose out to them in terms of program duration.
If they could not compete against the established English club, there was no need for the new English club to organize the event. They should admit defeat directly.
Because of Xu Shengnan’s temper, even if they had better props and just as good performances as the established English Club today, she was unwilling to lose to them in terms of program duration.
It was not easy for the new English club to defeat the established English club. However, Xu Shengnan wanted to put up a strong fight. She was unwilling to give up or be slipshod in her work. As long as it was within their means to put in extra effort to make it happen, she would make sure that they did it.
Xu Shengnan pranced around like a ferocious lion with a sullen expression on her face. “Qiao Nan, I know that this will put you in a difficult position, but you do not need to be burdened. You can simply go on stage to sing a song. As for the accompaniment music… It does not matter even if there is no accompaniment music. Do any of you over here know how to play the instrument? Can you play the accompaniment music for Qiao Nan? If not, Qiao Nan, you can sing an unaccompanied song. You are the new star in the school. It will be an added bonus to have you sing on stage. Qiao Nan, we have worked hard for so long. We must not give up at the last moment. We must persist until the end. No matter how difficult it is for you, you have to do it for the club!”
“…” Qiao Nan felt like weeping but had no tears. “Vice President Xu, how am I supposed to do it?”
“Don’t be like this. Like I have said, this is an emergency. It has nothing to do with you. You are entrusted with a mission at a critical moment. Regardless of the results, you do not have to take responsibility for it. You can just go ahead to sing an unaccompanied song on the stage.” There were not enough members. Xu Shengnan had no other choice.
Since they changed the programs at the last minute, they had no time to find accompaniment music. Everything was too rushed.
Xu Shengnan heard that the current program on stage was half-way done. She could not help but turn teary. “The program before you is about to end. Qiao Nan, you have to do it.”
Qiao Nan had a bitter smile on her face. How could it be easy for her to stand on the stage?
“Senior Zou, let me tell you a piece of good news.” Even though Lü Yan was watching the performance at the established English club, she had sharp ears. She heard that there was some trouble at the new English club. “A student for one of the performances of the new English club is sick but kept quiet about it. However, she is too sick and has to be sent to the hospital. The new English club did not have any alternative program. It seems like they are in deep trouble.”
The new English club was down on its luck. But this was definitely a piece of good news to the established English club.
As long as the new English club did not do well, it was pointless that Qiao Nan was the secretary. Even if Qiao Nan became the vice president, she would end up like Senior Xu. It was meaningless to be in the position and she would be bullied.
Lü Yan felt like singing and dancing to celebrate the big crisis that Qiao Nan faced.
“Really?” Zou Wenxuan’s eyes lit up. “In the past, given Xu Shengnan’s temper, even if she did not have any alternative program or had to come up with something right away, she would make sure that the program duration was as long as ours. Take another look to see how Xu Shengnan is dealing with it.”
Zou Wenxuan was elated that the new English club was in trouble.
However, back then, nobody believed that the new English club would be able to secure funds, yet they managed to organize fabulous events and heat up the atmosphere.
Zou Wenxuan had been through similar situations before. Therefore, she dared not rejoice too early. She was patient, wanting to know how Xu Shengnan was going to deal with it.
Qiao Nan had already given a harsh blow by securing the sponsors.
Qiao Nan should not have the capability of helping the new English club to avert the crisis and putting the club back on its feet, did she?
