Chapter 599
Queenie nodded in agreement as she turned her gaze on Joshua. She
encouraged, "You have to work hard, Joshua! Look at how successful Luca is. If you achieve even half of his success, I'll be very happy!"
Isaac chimed in. "Don't worry, Joshua and I will lead our school into the CUBA finals. If we're able to enter the professional league when the time comes, we'll become celebrities!"
Both Queenie and Miranda smiled after hearing Isaac's declaration. Meanwhile, Anya and Jessica could only look on in envy.
The next morning, Jack arrived early at Uriah's office to request for a leave of absence. He didn't need to make up any excuses this time around since Uriah already knew about Jack's true identity.
When Uriah accepted Jack's request slip, he noticed how Jack had requested for a leave of absence that would last half a month, the reason being that he needed to travel to Federia to handle some business. His eyes darted between the slip and Jack. Uriah could no longer view him as an ordinary student. He got to his feet and asked, "You... What will you be doing in Federia?"
With a smile, Jack explained, "Genesis Games is about to become a public-listed company on the Masdaq Stock Exchange. I need to travel to Federia to conduct a roadshow. I also need to be in New Vork for the bell ringing when Genesis
becomes public-listed."
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Uriah was surprised to find out that Genesis Games was about to become a public-listed company. When he had looked into the company the night before, he knew that there was a possibility that Genesis would become public-listed on Masdaq, but he didn't imagine that it would happen so quickly.
The truth was, Uriah was unfamiliar with the process of a company becoming public-listed. However, he did understand that it was an important time for any company. He wanted to remind Jack to take care of himself and his safety, but the words died on his tongue just as they were about to leave his lips. Jack might no longer need this type of advice from him.
It shocked Uriah to realize that Jack had undergone a tremendous change. He was no longer the student who liked to skip classes, who had no other redeeming qualities other than the excellent results he achieved during his university entrance exam. He was only in his junior year, but he was about to become the founder and CEO of a public-listed company.
Jack wasn't a class leader or a club member. He had never won a scholarship, and he would occasionally fail his classes. He seemed to be destined for a life of mediocrity, but the radiance that he gave off now was bright enough to cover up all his past flaws. He was truly a diamond in the rough that only needed someone to polish him for him to sparkle.
Jack was still the top scholar of his province that caught everyone's attention from the first moment he stepped foot onto Alnewgo University's campus. He was a dark horse that exceeded everyone's expectations. Uriah believed that Jack would become a household name once the bell was rung when Genesis Games became a public-listed company.

A bitter smile crossed Uriah's face as he considered all of this. He truly thought that Jack was going to continue resting on his laurels until he faded into obscurity one day. The glow that surrounded Jack now shocked Uriah to the core.
He had once taught Jack about the values and principles of life, but his lessons seemed so laughable and ridiculous when it concerned Jack now. It became clear that a softer approach would only be mercilessly mowed down by brute strength. However, Uriah still felt proud that someone so outstanding was a student of his. Jack would be a part of his conversations for a long time to come.
After a long moment of deep thought, Uriah finally printed his signature on the request slip. As he handed it back to Jack, he realized he should say something.
Uriah pondered for a moment before finally saying, "All the best in turning Genesis Games into a public-listed company! You'll be the pride of Alnewgo University!"
Jack accepted Uriah's well-wishes before turning on his heel and leaving the office.
