Qi Hao's accusation left everyone stunned. Couldn't he see that Nan Zhi was sitting in the center position?

Perhaps it was the strange looks from the other people that made Qi Hao swallow hard. Was he right?

Former president Lu Chao's gaze fell calmly on him, and he said:

“Nan Zhi is the new president of the association, so why can’t she be a judge? On the contrary, she is the most qualified person to sit here as a judge.”

The vice president echoed:

"That's right, this recruitment was proposed by Chairman Nan."

Qi Hao: "......."

Qi Hao was still in a daze when he walked out of the meeting room. Nan Zhi was the new president?

When Lian Chuchu saw Qi Hao come out looking dejected, she assumed he hadn't managed to get anything done for her.

She stepped forward, sighed, and said softly:

"Brother Qi Hao, it's okay even if I'm not selected, don't be too sad."

Qi Hao snapped out of his reverie, looked down at Lian Chuchu, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "Chuchu, you've been selected. Don't worry."

Lian Chuchu covered her mouth in surprise, "Really? Brother Qi Hao, thank you."

Qi Hao shook his head helplessly, "It's because you're outstanding; I couldn't help you at all."

Lian Chuchu quickly took his hand, "Brother Qi Hao, no matter what, you still have the heart to stand up for me, I will remember your kindness."

Qi Hao felt a warmth in his heart, but his expression still held a hint of melancholy.

Even when Chu Chu noticed, she frowned and asked:

"Brother Qi Hao, are you... unhappy?"

Qi Hao sighed, "Chu Chu, Nan Zhi approved your application, and..."

Seeing Qi Hao's hesitation, Lian Chuchu was even more puzzled. What could have caused such a big change in Qi Hao's emotions?

"And what?"

Lian Chuchu asked in confusion.

Qi Hao took a breath before saying:

"Nan Zhi is the new president of the association."

With a "boom," even Chu Chu felt like her brain was about to explode. She thought that Nan Zhi was given a special seat as a judge because she won first place in an international competition.

But Qi Hao actually said that she was the new president.

"Brother Qi Hao, what... what did you say?"

Lian Chuchu couldn't believe it, nor did she want to believe it. She was supposed to be the most outstanding person, but now Nan Zhi was better than her in every way, which made it increasingly difficult for Lian Chuchu to accept.

"Chuchu, I don't know how she became the new president of the association, but in my eyes and in my heart, you have always been the most outstanding girl."

Despite Qi Hao's words, Lian Chuchu still found it unbelievable and was shocked.

Why is it that Nanzhi is always luckier than her, becoming the president at such a young age?

This left Lian Chuchu unable to process for a long time.

Upon hearing this news, An Ran, who was not far away, immediately grabbed Cheng Yi's arm and excitedly said:

"Cheng Yi, did you hear that? Nan Zhi is actually the president of the association now?"

Cheng Yi smiled helplessly: "I heard that. You seem even happier than if you were the president yourself."

An Ran was naturally happy. She smiled and said, "How could someone like me become the president? But having a president friend makes me proud."

"You'd better get ready, it'll be your turn soon."

An Ran nodded and whispered, "I know, but Nan Zhi is a judge. Do you think she might just pass me?"

Cheng Yi flicked her forehead with his finger. "You'd better perform well. In this situation, if you do well, you'll pass naturally. If you don't, you can't show favoritism or cheat. Wouldn't that be harming Nanzhi?"

An Ran suddenly realized and nodded, "I misunderstood. I'll get ready now."

......

The association's interview process is over, and the best candidates have been selected. They just need to wait for the next exam.

An Ran, Cheng Yi, and even Chu Chu all made it to the final exam.

Shen Xingmian had not yet returned, so Nan Zhi could finally calm down and decided to publish her novel.

Nan Zhi chose to publish her work on Siji.com, a website with a good reputation and a high probability of publishing a physical book, under the pen name Nanmu Youzhi.

After publishing, she quickly received a contract offer and signed it immediately. After that, she only needed to update daily and didn't worry about anything else. Now, she has written quite a bit, with a total of 400,000 words.

A week later, Shen Xingmian still hadn't returned. She called to say that things were a bit tricky over there and it would take some more time.

Nan Zhi didn't have time to pay attention to her; Xu Chao Ci told her something.

It is the truth about my mother's death.

After learning about this, Nanzhi and Xu Chaoci went to Yuecheng again.

When Old Xu saw Nanzhi, he didn't say anything, but just sighed. There are no secrets in this world that stay hidden forever. He had kept it a secret all his life, but eventually it was going to be revealed.

"Zhizhi, our Xu family has failed your mother in this matter."

After saying that, he called Xu Jingzhi.

"grandfather."

The person opposite was very respectful. Since Nan Zhi's last visit to Yuecheng, Xu Jingzhi had not been to the capital again. Old Master Xu intended to give up the idea of ​​expanding his business to the capital.

Xu Jingzhi has been working hard to run the company and trying to change Xu Yao's hostility towards Nan Zhi. However, instead of improving the situation, it has caused Xu Yao and Xu Jingzhi to drift further apart.

"Jingzhi, Zhizhi is here. You and your second uncle should come back first."

Xu Jingzhi's tone held a hint of surprise and barely perceptible joy, "My cousin is here?"

Old Xu sighed, "Come back, Grandpa has something to tell you."
