Chapter 403
She frowned and said unhappily. “Why did you take off my sunglasses?”
“If you wear sunglasses on stage, who’s gonna pay attention to the presentation?”
Celeste snorted, “Who are you to decide what the audience likes?”
“Haha-“Owen couldn’t help but laugh, Celeste was a drama student, she had a bit of a comedian in her
Liam glared at Owen, who coughed and put on a regular expression.
He folded the sunglasses and put them in his pocket, “Just sit quietly next to me for a while, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Got it”
This time Celeste didn’t provoke him.
At three in the afternoon, the presentation officially began.
The principal gave a brief explanation of Quantum’s collaboration, followed by individual introductions of the Quantum team members, and soon the atmosphere at the event became lively.
Wesley and Liam each gave brief speeches about the collaboration and handed the stage to Angel.
She adjusted the microphone and said warmly. “Ladies and gentlemen, hello, I’m Angel, the presenter for Quantum Enterprises The Elites project, I’m 22 and currently working in the operations department of Quantum Enterprises. Are there any students who are the same age as me? Please raise your hands to let me see…”
Angel’s voice was lovely, and her tone was calm, just like chatting with a good friend, which made her interactive presentation easy to listen to
Celeste tapped on the water glass in front of her as if timing something, or just a bored gesture.
“Oh? Am I awesome? I’m not,” Angel laughed and said, “I’m just pretty lucky. When I was a little girl, I was abandoned at the door of an orphanage. I think it was winter, and it was cold and snowing; they rode their bikes with me; the wind whistling in my ears, I kept complaining about the cold, they said they’d buy me new clothes, gave me a sausage, and told me to wait there, but I waited from day to night, and they never came back for me…”
Liam’s face turned heavy.
Celeste glanced at Liam and looked away.
Angel couldn’t bear to leave out the content deleted by Liam.
She talked about being abandoned, being adopted by the orphanage, and being bullied there, and finally concluded, “I like the saying, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. It doesn’t matter how you start in life, what matters is how you use the cards you have in hand to change your fate. I’m grateful to my adoptive parents, they gave me the opportunity to be educated, allowing me to win with a bad hand. The higher you stand, the more those unpleasant experiences seem like a dream, and now I occasionally talk to my friends about my time at the orphanage, but I’ve already let go of my feelings…”
After a 20-minute “miserable experience” story, Angel finally started talking about the project.
As the presentation went on, the atmosphere was completely lively.
