Chapter 559
What was more was that the popularity of "Legend of the West" had reached a near-legendary status, earning it the reputation of a masterpiece.
This made everyone even more curious and respectful toward this mysterious alumnus.
They were eager to know-who was the genius behind such a feat? And even better, if they could establish a connection with this alumnus, it could open doors and opportunities for their future careers.
Then, George revealed an even more shocking piece of information.
"What surprised me even more is that the founder of this company isn't just a former student of ours. He's still a junior who's currently enrolled here."
The atmosphere immediately erupted in astonishment.
Even though Alnewgo University had no shortage of elite students, hearing that someone still in school had already become the CEO of a company valued at over ten billion dollars was still deeply shocking.
Even Clarice, who was normally proud and aloof, couldn't hide the disbelief on her face. In her eyes, any student capable of managing a company of that magnitude was undoubtedly an extraordinary talent.
She couldn't help but say to George, "Mr. Tripp, a student like that, is truly outstanding. You really ought to introduce us."
George was quite pleased with the crowd's reaction. In fact, when he first heard the news, he had been just as stunned.
As the head of the university, having produced such a remarkable student was unquestionably a matter of pride. It also gave him a boost of confidence when talking with other presidents from the C9 League universities.
After all, the core mission of any school is to educate and nurture talent, and outstanding talent was the best proof of educational quality.
Hearing Clarice's request, George burst into hearty laughter. "You'll have your chance. Take a look at this-an invitation letter that hasn't been sent out yet. It's addressed specifically to him."
The other alumni craned their necks, eager to see the name of this exceptional student.
The ink on the invitation was still drying, and though the signature wasn't yet complete, one word stood out-Holland.
Clarice froze. Holland? Which family could raise such a brilliant child?
No matter the upcoming centennial celebration would reveal the answer soon enough.
The campus was already decorated with fluttering banners, and the countdown board for the centennial celebration stood tall at the main gate, filling the atmosphere with a festive mood. Still, it didn't affect the students' daily lives much. That morning, Jack was visited by two unexpected guests-Emily and Quintis. The two had previously tried to find Jack to celebrate his birthday and give him a gift, but Jack had been at Osmo at the time, so they hadn't met.
Today, they came to campus and finally ran into him.
Worried that Jack might avoid her, Emily brought Quintis directly to Jack's dorm
room.
At the time, all of Jack's roommates were present.
Recently, Isaac and Joshua had become the center of attention. The Calisota Universities Basketball Association league was in full swing, and as juniors, both had not only joined the university's basketball team but had become key players.
Even more impressively, Isaac and Joshua's seamless teamwork had helped Alnewgo University's team make it into the top four in the Calisota region. Their outstanding performance naturally earned them a wave of admiration.
Rumor had it that Queenie and Miranda were already keeping a close eye on Isaac and Joshua, and many girls had been secretly writing them love letters. Original content can be found at find•novel.net
The number of confession letters those two had already had discovered by Queenie and Miranda was impossible to count-never mind the ones they had quietly dealt with themselves.
Some girls were even showing up at the boys' dorms just to get a chance to talk to Isaac and Joshua.
As basketball team members, class leaders, and party members, the two had already become the stars of Dorm 502.
