Chapter 333: Have Also Heard Similar Names

This year, Hutchinson University was also selected as a top-tier university in the country. Its popularity among students quickly rivaled that of Craydon University. This year, the students who applied to Hutchinson University numbered quite a few. The students from Craydon University were on edge, extremely concerned about this autonomous enrollment. Each major was determined to select one or two outstanding students in this exam.

Since each subject teacher and the school attached great importance to this Independent School Entrance Examination, a meeting was necessary to specifically discuss this issue before the exam. Tristin attended this meeting.

As one of the flagship programs at Craydon University, the Department of Finance had a distinguished director who had achieved significant success in the field of finance. Under his leadership, the students in the department were exceptionally talented, such as Lawson, one of his students. This time, Lawson and his small team won a small international award, which, while not significant in size, had gained a good reputation.

Who didn’t know that the Department of Finance at Craydon University was thriving under his leadership, with a faint prospect of surpassing the Department of Medicine to become the flagship presence at Craydon University?

Since it was a major conference, professors and associate professors from various disciplines would participate. As soon as he entered, he saw Emile, wearing a charcoal gray professional suit, sitting upright at the top left position of the conference table. She exuded an air of arrogance and aloofness, making others reluctant to sit beside her. Tristin had long been accustomed to her demeanor. Everyone was an expert in their respective fields. He smiled, walked over, pulled out the chair next to Emilee, sat down, and greeted the person next to him, saying, “Prof. Peterson, are there any promising students this year?”

“I heard that you had already spotted a highly talented student a long time ago and even went all the way to Melcester for that student. So, did you manage to secure them?”

He casually asked, if students with their status personally recruited people, would a few of them have the temperament to refuse? To put it simply, it was a matter of luck for them to catch someone’s eye. Who would pass up good luck when it was right in front of them?

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Emilee’s face darkened, her grip tightening on her pen as she pursed her lips. “Haha, Prof. Holland has so much free time and is in the mood to meddle in other departments?”

Tristin was inexplicably scolded by her, leaving him completely puzzled. Sitting next to him was a teacher from the Department of Medicine, Curtis, who leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Mr. Holland, it’s better not to ask Prof. Peterson that question, that student…”

Curtis’s mind involuntarily conjured up a rebellious figure, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Tristin was quite curious, “What happened to that student?”

Curtis touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly, “That student declined Prof. Peterson’s invitation, saying that he wanted to pursue a different major and didn’t want to study Clinical Medicine.”

Tristin didn’t pay attention to what he said in the second half, and only heard the first half, showing a surprised expression, “You said that girl rejected Prof. Peterson?”

Craydon University’s Department of Clinical Medicine had consistently overshadowed its Department of Finance over the years. Emilee, in particular, had gained a reputation in the past decade and had become the flagship of the Department of Clinical Medicine. Did some students actually refuse Emilee?!

He was really curious now, and asked with a curious look on his face, “What’s the name of that student you mentioned, and will they also participate in this independent enrollment?”

“I wasn’t sure if she would come or not… As for the name, well… it sounds quite nice. She is a girl who studies at Melcester Central High School, and her name is… Myrna.”

As soon as Myrna’s name was mentioned, Tristin froze.
