21. Jiang Yao herself wanted to go to France
“Little sister, welcome to being a new member of the broadcasting club. This is the WeChat group of our club. You can add it, and we will notify you here when we have events and news.”
“Ah… ok.” Gu Ningyou quickly took out her mobile phone to scan the code and entered the group, but in her heart she was muttering, she thought she would definitely not be able to join the club today, but it turned out to be so easy to pass?
During the interview, she was still a little nervous. She really lost the recruiting introduction form that Xie Yingzhou gave her, and there were a lot of people who came today, and they were all well prepared. Compared to them, her self-introduction was lacking.
But why didn’t Xie Yingzhou come today…
Gu Ningyou was looking down at the phone, and didn’t notice that the boy opposite was looking at her up and down. This boy was the one Gu Ningyou met last time. He looked at the girl infront of him and was amazed in her heart –
Although Brother Xie didn’t come today, he specifically explained that no matter what the girl said or behaved, she should be recruited into the broadcasting club. He didn’t understand what the President’s words meant but after seeing her, he understood a little bit. The girl didn’t bring the introduction form nor did she say anything about herself when she did the introduction, she obviously didn’t prepare well.
Brother Xie seldom interacts with girls, let alone take special care of anyone. Last time, Brother Xie said that they didn’t know each other. But they really had a private conversation? Otherwise, how could he have guessed everything?
He also said…
Thinking of what Xie Yingzhou had explained, the boy asked with a smile: “Little sister, will you have time after lunch? The classmate who is on duty at the radio station today has asked for leave, why don’t you cover for her? The manuscript has already been written. When you’re ready, you can just read it.”
…..Can she say she doesn’t want to?
Gu Ningyou wanted to refuse, but she had just joined the club and if she refused this or that, she wouldn’t look good, so she finally nodded and agreed.
The door of the broadcasting station was tightly closed. As a courtesy, Gu Ningyou knocked on the door, but did not go in directly: “Is there anyone?”
“Come in, the door is unlocked.”
Hearing the voice from inside, Gu Ningyou’s hand holding the door handle slipped.
Xie Yingzhou?
The boy didn’t say that Xie Yingzhou was here…
She had thought why she didn’t see him just then, so he was waiting for her here? Did he think there were too many people in that office, so he thought it would be hard to question her?
Gu Ningyou felt it a little weird. She took a deep breath, then pushed open the door and walked in, forcibly pulling a smile out: “President, you are here too.”
Unexpectedly, Xie Yingzhou didn’t directly ask some tricky questions to embarrass her. They just sat together in peace and she read the manuscript sentence by sentence.
Gu Ningyou naturally didn’t know what Xie Yingzhou was thinking. Maybe he really regarded her as an ordinary member, but she was so nervous that even her palms were sweating. She had long forgotten her purpose before coming. She didn’t want to stay in this strange atmosphere for another second. After reading the manuscript, she wanted to run away, “President, if there’s nothing wrong…”
“Did I say it’s okay?” Xie Yingzhou took time to sort out the manuscript, turned off the broadcasting equipment at the radio station, and after all this, he leaned back on the chair behind him and narrowed his eyes at her. “It seems that you haven’t explained some things clearly. Last time someone else was there, so I let you get away. Today it’s just the two of us. Why don’t you explain? Let’s start with how you know me.”
Sure enough…
She knew that Xie Yingzhou didn’t believe what she said last time, but wasn’t he also talking nonsense at that time? She was sure that he knew her, but he pretended to be like he had never seen her. Was he still acting here now?
She was not as playful as he was.
“Actually, I heard about you from Yuan and saw your photos from him. Aren’t you two good friends?” Gu Ningyou made up a random reason. After speaking, she immediately changed the subject. ” Xie Yingzhou, in fact, you already knew me too, right?”
From Pei Siyuan? It doesn’t seem impossible, after all, he also learned about this woman from Jiang Yao.
Xie Yingzhou believed her words for the time being, but didn’t answer her question, “So, you and him are still together now?”
It can be said that, but it won’t take long for the two of them to return to the bridge and go back to the old road. They wouldn’t have dealings with each other soon!
She thought so in her heart, but she couldn’t show it on her face, and she nodded shyly.
“Okay, I’m not interested your private matters.” Xie Yingzhou made a stop gesture, “I am just a spectacle in your situation but you arranged for Yaoyao to study abroad, right?”
Gu Ningyou thought about it and replied, “She said she wanted to go to France, and I can be considered a good person.”
When did Jiang Yao become interested in France? With such a high level of consumption abroad, she was not the kind of rich girl, so how could she take the initiative to go to France?
Xie Yingzhou looked at her suspiciously: “Yaoyao really said that? You are not lying to me?”
Gu Ningyou looked calm: “If you don’t believe it, won’t you know if you ask her yourself?”
Gu Ningyou was really not lying. When she went to find Jiang Yao, she didn’t want to send Jiang Yao abroad, she just wanted Jiang Yao to leave City A and not meet Pei Siyuan anymore. As a result, Jiang Yao herself said she wanted to go to France, and she… well… of course she liked that idea.
So she was not too vicious. According to the plot of the novel, wasn’t the heroine forced away? Although it was she who first approached Jiang Yao, and it was she who wanted to send Jiang Yao away, the matter of going to France was indeed brought up by Jiang Yao.
“I’ll investigate this matter later.” He had previously taken it for granted that it was Gu Ningyou’s arrangement, and didn’t ask Jiang Yao directly. Could it be that he wrongly blamed Gu Ningyou?
Xie Yingzhou was still a little worried and uneasy so he warned in a low voice: “But, you’d better not try to trip her behind her back, otherwise…”
Gu Ningyou:…
She had indeed done this kind of thing in her previous life. She had spent money to buy off Jiang Yao’s classmates and let them unite to isolate her, but Jiang Yao’s personality was gentle, kind and cheerful, and there was really no dark spot on her personality. It didn’t take long for the people she had bought off to defect one after another, and eventually became Jiang Yao’s friends.
Maybe this was the so-called heroine’s halo?
In this life, she hadn’t done this. If Xie Yingzhou hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have remembered it.
Anyway, in the end, it was using a bamboo basket to draw water. [T/N: 竹篮打水，一场空 (zhúlándǎshuǐ, yīchángkōng): using a wicker basket to draw water (idiom); wasted effort]
Now that she knows the result, she isn’t stupid enough to spend this unjustifiable money, and she doesn’t want to be the vicious female supporting character anymore, “Don’t worry, I won’t do that kind to make things difficult for her.”
