Chapter 36

Over at Li Na side, she also checked her results. She was already excited and couldn't wait but what she saw shocked her. She placed third, yes, but she was tied with someone else. The other person was a girl in her class. They were both tied for third place.

Then she got an email congratulating her, but the email also had conditions for her position. The school only had twenty-one places so one of them had to concede. Of course, compensation was going to be given to the person who conceded.

Li Na thought that the person she tied with would concede once she heard that there would be compensation given but later that day, she was approached by a girl. Her name was Gu Yao. She didn't look like the shy type, but she didn't look too haughty either.

She approached Li Na and offered a smile. Li Na returned a forced one. She got straight to the point. "So, we tied for third place huh?"

Gu Yao smiled. "Yes, and I would actually like to talk to you about that. I would love to get the compensation." Gu Yao smiled.

Li Na thought she was going to concede; she was even smiling. She decided to act friendly and give a genuine smile.

"Thank you for conceding. You are a good person."

Gu Yao laughed. "No, I wasn't. I was not going to accept that. I thought you were going to concede. I would love to use this opportunity to expand my horizons."

Li Na's smile cracked. She became cold. "Oh? You want to go? So, what about me then?"

Gu Yao also stopped smiling. "I don't know about you. That's why we are talking this out. No offence but I don't think you are going there to establish yourself. You really show it. There are other chances so please could you just help me this once?"

Li Na was boiling now. 'Who the hell does she think she is? Looks like this isn't going to be easy."

She didn't answer Gu Yao and turned away from her.

She heard Guy Yao shout behind her. "So, I should be expecting your answer then?"

Li Na almost insulted her. She just had to keep going. She needed to make a call.

She immediately called Yifeng.

"Hello?"

She heard Yifeng say. She could hear other voices in the background. Female voices. She was disgusted. But that wasn't her concern now.

"I need your help. Some bitch and I tied for third place and there are only twenty-one tickets. I need your help."

"Okay, then what should I do?"

Li Na rolled her eyes. Is this guy even sane?

"I don't know. Get her in the hospital or make her parents sick or whatever just so something."

Yifeng rose his brows. He stood up and told the girls he would be right back. He went to where he could hear better."

"Excuse me but you want me to harm her just because of a ticket."

Li Na couldn't speak. She didn't want to harm her either, but the bitch was being too strongheaded. She sighed.

"Okay, you don't have to ham her. Just do something." She hung up.

She groaned. Why was the girl so difficult? Its just a dinner. Ugh. She continued walking.

"I wonder how Xiu Ying is doing." She muttered to herself.

Li Na was waiting for any kind of news when she got a call from Yifeng.

"Don't worry. She won't be in your hair now. You got yourself a ticket."

She hung up in joy. "YES, yes he did it."

Yifeng, who got hung up on tsked. "What an ungrateful woman." He muttered to himself.

Li Na then she saw Gu Yao approach her with a little frown on her face.

"Hey, about the dinner ticket, you can have it. I won't be able to make it. My family had an emergency."

Li Na tried so hard to not to smile. With much difficulty, she faced her.

"Is everyone okay? I am so sorry."

Gu Yao looked at her suspiciously. Why would something happen to her a few moments after she said she was going? Whatever, she would deal with that later. She needed to be with her family right now.

After Gu Yao left, Li Na squealed to herself in excitement. She was going to see her future man. What an excellent opportunity to get to know him, and maybe her relationship with him would prosper. Just thinking about it made her smile so hard she felt some pain in her cheekbones.

Then she remembered Xiu Ying. "Did she also get in?" she muttered to herself.

She was going to find her and ask. She went towards her class and saw her with two other people. A male and a female. The man was handsome, tall looked cool at first glance, but she wasn't going to be swayed by anyone but Zhang Wei. Then she saw the girl she went shopping with that time. The one that was clinging onto her that time. She was annoyed about it but Xiu Ying seemed so happy.

She sighed and entered the class. She got close enough to hear their conversation.

"I am so excited about the upcoming dinner. I am so excited we all get to go together. We can go shopping and then we can have fun and… oh my goodness I am getting so excited thinking about it."

Li Na heard the girl talk. She forgot her name. Then she heard the man laugh. It was a nice laugh.

"So, how are we going to get here? Do we go together, or we arrive separately? You know what? Let's go together. It's easier and we can all find the school faster."

Then, Li Na approached and circled her hands around Xiu Ying.

"Ying'er have you heard? The results are out. I got a ticket to the dinner. What about you?"

Then she looked over at the remaining two people and smiled. She stretched out her hand.

"Hello, I am Li Na. I am Xiu Ying's best friend. Nice to meet you."

Ian looked at her hand for a few seconds, then shook her hands.

"Ian Long nice to meet you."

Li Na nodded. He really was handsome. She shook her head. No, she couldn't get distracted.

"So, I heard you all talking about shopping. What is going on?"

Xiu Ying happily answered. "We all got a ticket to the dinner. We are planning on shopping and how we are going to arrive."

Li Na's eyes twitched. This girl really is getting on her nerves.
