Tian Yu thought about the argument the two had just had and couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, what hosting were you two just talking about?"
"It’s for the school anniversary celebration." Since everyone would find out sooner or later, Sheng Ning’an had no intention of keeping it a secret from anyone else.
"You mean you’re going to host the school anniversary?" Tian Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, "I heard that the school anniversary is held only once every ten years. It’s bound to be lively. That’s awesome, sister!"
Sheng Ning’an smiled and said, "You didn’t hear Shi Yue say that the Student Union invited me because of my dad’s influence. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been considered for such a task."
Although Shi Yue’s words were unpleasant, they were also true.
Even though their school couldn’t compare to Jing University with its abundant talent, it certainly didn’t lack talented people. After entering university, she had never showcased her talents at any event. The fact that they approached her couldn’t be just because of her looks, right?
Hearing this, Tian Yu said, "What’s wrong with that? Family background is a strength of its own. You come from such a good background that others can only envy. Besides, they invited you because they have good taste. The moment our An’an steps onto the stage, she will be the brightest star there."
Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help but laugh at her words.
Actually, if it weren’t for Shi Yue, this dorm wouldn’t be a bad place to stay.
With half a month left until the school anniversary, Sheng Ning’an had plenty of time to prepare. Gu Yue, as if afraid she would back out, quickly sent her the script for hosting.
She had made it through three years of college entrance exams, so this script was nothing to Sheng Ning’an. It took her just two or three days to memorize all the words.
She also watched the dress rehearsals a few times.
With the school anniversary coming up, the entire Student Union had been mobilized. The publicity department had lots to do: hand-painting promotional prints, ordering and posting promotional posters, and writing articles to promote the event.
In addition to this, they were responsible for the stage design and its setup—all of which fell under the responsibility of the publicity department.
Typically, the department head would assign tasks, with each deputy head responsible for a specific part, making sure the workers under them completed the work.
The workplace dynamics were fully exemplified within the Student Union.
The seasoned workers were tasked with making suggestions, while the grunt work was left to the new workers who had just joined.
During this period, Shi Yue became very busy, often returning to the dorm late into the night.
Moreover, she felt that the department head was targeting her on purpose, deliberately assigning her the more strenuous and tiresome tasks.
Her resentment grew heavier with each passing day.
Finally, the day of the school anniversary arrived.
The evening celebration, which was due to start at eight o’clock, had everyone bustling as early as two in the afternoon.
Around five in the afternoon, Tian Yu and Xue Xian came to see Sheng Ning’an, and they also brought dinner for her.
Sheng Ning’an had been rehearsing all afternoon and hadn’t had the chance to eat.
Upon receiving the special dinner they brought for her, Sheng Ning’an smiled and said, "Thank you!"
"Why be so polite? Eat quickly!" Tian Yu urged, "You’re going on stage soon, so I didn’t bring too much, just a sandwich for you. I was worried that if you ate too much, it wouldn’t look good in your dress. After you finish hosting, let’s go have a late-night snack together."
"Okay, I’ll treat!" Sheng Ning’an generously declared.
Xue Xian then took out a bottle of yogurt, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her.
Watching the harmonious scene among the three, Shi Yue, who was being ordered to help move props around, had a face so gloomy it looked as if it could drip water.
Even though they were all from the same dorm, the other two remembered to bring food for Sheng Ning’an, but not a single one thought of her.
