The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 870 - 840

Shui Qingcheng and Xia Lulu’s faces turned green.

"You can’t say it like that, can you? Qiao Qiqi indeed got benefits from the department. Now that we need her, it’s rather excessive for her to back out." Someone had a different opinion, obviously due to jealousy over the school’s favoritism towards Qiao Qiqi.

"Exactly, you can’t just take advantage and then back out when there’s nothing to gain, what does that make us?"

"I don’t know why, but I just feel Qiao Qiqi should go!"

For a moment, the students started arguing, as there were clearly divided opinions, and the dispute was heated.

Shui Qingcheng and Xia Lulu exchanged glances, feeling satisfied with the commotion today. Now, even if Qiao Qiqi didn’t go, some might not blame her, but her reputation would certainly be affected!

Seeing the increasingly fierce arguments, a student quickly went to get the department head.

The department head arrived and, displeased, shouted once, making everyone quiet.

"What on earth is going on? Can someone explain?" the department head asked sternly.

Someone immediately stepped forward to explain the situation, and everyone looked at the department head, waiting for his stance.

"Director, I think this is a great opportunity that the department should offer to Qiao Qiqi. If she refuses, it shows she’s just a rich kid who only knows how to enjoy life and can’t bear hardships."

"Exactly, Senior Sister Shui signed up, so why shouldn’t she?"

"..."

Suddenly, the two sides started arguing again.

"All of you, shut up!" shouted the department head, silencing the crowd once more.

"This trip to poor areas is voluntary. If no one is willing to go, we’ll assign randomly. The school won’t force anyone... However..."

The department head paused, scanning the students as he said, "Qiao Qiqi has already volunteered. She sent me a message last night, saying she’s willing to go to the poor areas, and she’s very determined!"

With just one sentence, everyone was stunned.

"She was the first in our department to sign up with me, and I’ve already approved! You all are arguing here without checking the facts. I’m embarrassed for you so-called high achievers! Since when did Jing University’s standards become so low?"

The department head didn’t want to say more, muttering as he turned to leave.

In an instant, the two groups fell silent, and those who had been vehemently against Qiao Qiqi felt their faces burning with shame.

Shui Qingcheng was dumbfounded too. Qiao Qiqi had already signed up yesterday? Damn, why didn’t that bitch say a word!

If she had known Qiao Qiqi had already signed up, she wouldn’t have signed up just to pressure her!

Shui Qingcheng was almost dying of anger. She didn’t want to go to any poor areas at all; she heard they don’t even have running water there! The toilets are open-air; just imagining it made her want to throw up!

Now everyone quietly left, and no one argued anymore.

...

Jiang Meng was almost depressed when she found out Qiao Qiqi signed up, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

So she also secretly sent the department head a message and signed up. Since she’s going, they might as well go together; they shouldn’t only share good times and not tough ones!

Yu CaiCai and Zhou Zhou learned about the matter later and, although they felt sorry for Qiao Qiqi having to endure hardship, they admired her deeply. If it were them, they probably would find a way not to go.

Qiqi lives up to the name Qiqi, Qiqi truly is Qiqi!

When Qiao Qiqi heard that Jiang Meng was also going, she didn’t oppose it because she knew that the experience would be a significant training opportunity for anyone involved, and it would be beneficial.
