Trinity University not only value this project, but they also welcomed Keegan, one of its esteemed alumni.
Year after year, the Vinci Rivera Group recruited a multitude of talented individuals, with many of them being Trinity University graduates. The company not only provided job opportunities but also sponsored promising students to study abroad, ensuring that exceptional talents remain in Hustuabourg. This had been vital in elevating the reputation of Trinity University.
Around one in the afternoon, Stella and Keegan left the company in a car and arrived at Trinity University within a mere twenty minutes.
A huge banner hung at the campus entrance read ‘Welcome back, our shining star, Keegan - let's make the ‘Rising Star’ project shine". Even the plants at the entrance were trimmed into a bear shape, bowing in a welcoming gesture. The campus gate was wide open, and many students were holding their phones to take pictures of the passing cars.
Despite having graduated years ago, Keegan remained an iconic figure at Trinity University. Every year, during the opening convocation, the university’s top officials would mention Keegan's name for publicity, making him an annual sensation among new students.
Stella was once a devoted fan of Keegan, and a post she had seen on the campus forum years ago came back to her. [What would you do if you could marry your college idol?]
Her answer was simple. [If he would marry me, I'd forsake all meat for ten long years. ]
Stella glanced at Keegan beside her and realized that after marrying him, she had lost the interest she once had in him.
However, Stella felt a bit jealous of Keegan. Despite both of them being Trinity University alumni, she could not bring herself to contact her lecturers when she compared her lackluster accomplishments to Keegan's impressive ones. She feared that her own lack of success would tarnish the reputation of their esteemed alma mater.
The best thing about returning to campus for Stella was regaining her lost competitive spirit. She silently challenged herself. She was determined to improve her credentials so that the next time she came to the university, she would not be overshadowed by Keegan.
The Vinci Rivera Group had sent a sizable delegation to the event, with five cars arriving at the campus entrance. However, vehicles were not permitted on campus except in designated parking areas, so the group parked their cars and made their way on foot. Alongside those directly involved in the recruitment talk, there was also personnel responsible for registering recruit info and promoting the company on- site. The recruitment talk was Jackson's responsibility. But, one of the university's top officials was acquainted with Keegan, so he went straight to Keegan upon their arrival.
"Keegan, long time no see."
Keegan shook hands with him and replied, "Good to see you, Mr. Jackman."
Mr. Jackman was Keegan's former lecturer and had risen to the position of Vice President at the university. Keegan was his favorite student. The two had plenty to catch up on when they finally reunited. He chatted with Keegan for a long time, completely ignoring Jackson and Sophia who had arrived in a separate car. Jackson wore a serious and gloomy expression, feeling left out.
After Mr. Jackman had finished his pleasantries, only then did he recall the presence of another Mr. Kane and the speaker, Sophia. He turned to welcome them. However, compared to the warmth he showed Keegan, his welcome to them was more for formality's sake.
The recruitment talk was held in the university's Culture Square. The students had just finished their lunch break and were grouped to come over. There was media personnel fiddling with their equipment on the scene. And, judging by the number of cameras and smartphones filming, there were at least twenty media outlets present.
It had been a few years since Keegan had visited there, and the campus had undergone quite a few changes. The most noticeable change was the giant screen on Culture Square.
The material for the recruitment talk was going to be displayed on this screen later. All the cameras below were also focused on the stage. Whatever was displayed on the screen would be instantly recorded by the media present.
Stella stared at the screen for a while until Keegan called her. Then, she snapped out of her thoughts. Following Keegan, Stella was led by Mr.
Jackman to the lounge. Mr. Jackman was very happy and said as they walked, "Keegan, do you know who else is here today?"
