Lemira nodded. “I’m all set.”
A girl stared at the student council president in disbelief. “You mean Lemira is giving a speech on stage?”
“That’s right.”
“How is that possible? Why would Lemira be chosen to represent the students? Her reputation at school is terrible, and hardly anyone even likes her. I think this decision is totally unfair.”
The girl was clearly upset.
The student council president couldn’t help but sigh. “Who said Lemira is giving the speech as a student representative?”
“But the school arranged for a student representative to speak, didn’t they? And you just told Lemira to get ready to go on stage.”
Doesn’t that mean Lemira was chosen as the student representative?
“She’s not representing the students—she’s giving a speech as a representative of a tech company!”
The president had only found out about this himself today. The school really was full of surprises: a freshman already working as an executive at a tech company.
The girl was stunned. “That’s even less believable! Lemira is just a freshman—how could that be possible?”
The students nearby all looked equally shocked, finding it hard to believe.
After all, they were all still students. No matter how talented Lemira was, could she really be that accomplished already?
Lemira glanced at the time, then turned to the student council president. “I’ll go get ready, then.”
“Go ahead. If you need anything, just let me know.”
After Lemira left, the complaining girl looked like she was about to lose it. “There’s just no way. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
“No mistake. Lemira is a key technical member at Maple Group. I heard she even participated in developing their AI project.”
The president had just learned this himself, and he was still in shock.
