Chapter 336
The next afternoon, Bella called Jack, inviting him to lunch and to attend an event hosted by the Entrepreneurs Association.
The Entrepreneurs Association was holding its annual recruitment event.
As an organization that operated above the student council, the Entrepreneurs Association had rented the largest banquet hall at the campus hotel, and it was decorated lavishly.
The hotel's general manager, Raydon, had sent staff ahead to welcome these future entrepreneurs.
Although the members of the Entrepreneurs Association were all students, Raydon was well aware of the power they held behind the scenes.
These students were not only outstanding on their own but also came from impressive family backgrounds. Many of them had gone on to achieve great success in the business world and had eventually joined the higher-level Alnewgo University Entrepreneurs Association.
The president of the Entrepreneurs Association was Hannah Pope, a female student whose family worked in real estate and owned well-known properties in the capital of Alnewgo.
She herself had a net worth of several million, and her company was expected to list on the Growth Enterprise Market soon, which would push her worth over a billion. At that point, she would undoubtedly become a core member of the Entrepreneurs Association.
When Bella arrived at the hotel, Levi, a senior member of the association, was already waiting for her outside.
Beside Hannah stood a tall guy, and it was none other than Thomas, who had been kicked out of the Alnewgo Summit not long ago.
Thomas owned a company, though it wasn't much, but he was reportedly a prospective member of the Entrepreneurs Association. He had also been invited back to the campus to host the ceremony.
After Jack finished his business, he arrived at the Lakeside Hotel and found that the recruitment event had already started.
He made his way to the empty seats reserved for the association's members.
The banquet hall was high-end and sophisticated, with Poshian carpets, intricate marble columns, and a massive crystal chandelier that dazzled anyone who stepped in.
The process of the recruitment event wasn't particularly groundbreaking. Since the Entrepreneurs Association was fully independent of the university to avoid administrative interference, Hannah usually led the event. Chapters first released on Find1Novel.net
Bella and the other new students officially became members of the Entrepreneurs Association.
For these newcomers, joining the Entrepreneurs Association was a huge honor. It would also become a symbol of their identity and leave a lasting mark on their future careers.
After the ceremony, Hannah and Levi took Bella around to meet the other members.
As a beautiful lady, Bella naturally attracted a lot of attention and was warmly welcomed. Jack thought about greeting her, but when he saw her surrounded by people, he decided against it. He didn't want to interrupt this perfect moment for her.
Instead, Jack went to a corner to smoke and take a break, just as he overheard a conversation about Bella.
"Hey, did you see that new girl? She's so hot," a guy with a buzzcut and an artsy vibe said, staring at Bella without any shame.
"If you like her, go for it! With your charm, I'm sure you'd land her in one try," another bald guy sneered, making fun of him.
Jack's old acquaintance, Thomas, sat beside them, grinning slyly.
Just then, Hannah walked over and introduced Thomas to Bella. She said, "Bella, this is Thomas, the vice president of Black Horse Tech. He's likely to become an official member of the Entrepreneurs Association soon."
Bella quickly greeted Thomas.
Then Hannah pointed to the two guys and said, "This is Wilson Turner, the owner of Love Bar and a senior. And this is Duncan Cornell; he runs a professional tutoring center with hundreds of students."
Bella greeted them as well. After all, anyone who could achieve such success while still in university was undoubtedly outstanding truly a rare talent.
