CHAPTER 421: 0419 INTERVIEW

Lynch’s answer made the female teacher somewhat hesitant, as just moments ago, Anna, the student council president, had slammed the table in front of the school management, talking about the issue of recommended students.

Yet looking at Lynch’s handsome face, the female teacher ultimately decided to take the risk and ask on his behalf.

"Wait a moment...", she smiled a bit to soothe this seemingly helpless student, then turned around and entered the meeting room.

At this time, Anna was already discussing some new activities for the start of the school year with the school’s management. Welcoming new students is one of the important traditional activities for major institutions every year.

On the one hand, it is the best way to promote the school to new students and society, such as the traditional programs of the Saint Harmony Alliance Schools, inviting the President for a speech. Such activities bring greater attention to the school and also strengthen student unity.

Of course, it also makes the new students more obedient, as we even invite the President.

On the other hand, it’s a kind of competition, schools of different tiers often have this trend of comparison, seeing whose welcome activities are more impressive and can overshadow other schools in the same region. Everyone feels proud.

Actually, there’s a series of interest relations at play here. For instance, some capitalists, when they need to package themselves, prefer to spend more money to find well-known schools rather than save money and choose a school nobody has heard of.

In short, welcome activities are very important, relating to student cohesion, pride, and the school’s reputation.

When the female teacher returned to the room, she stood by the wall. The head of the teaching department first noticed the hesitation on her face, "Who is outside, has something happened?"

The female teacher looked at the others. Rationally speaking, she should not mention this issue. She wasn’t the head of the teaching department, no matter what happened, the school leadership had his back.

After all, there needs to be a buffer zone between the school’s upper management and the student council, and she might get blamed for this. But somehow, she wanted to speak up to help the boy outside.

"There’s a student outside saying they came for the recommended student interview..."

Anna’s originally calm face instantly showed a rapid anger, another one!

Have those people taken Saint Secheka for a dumping ground, writing a recommendation letter for anyone and sending them here.

She turned to look at the head of the teaching department, and after he got a visual cue from the principals, he nodded slightly and stood up, "I’ll go reject him..."

He showcased a determined and serious expression like a court jester, "Not just anyone can join our school, I will tell him to try other schools, or later I might call his recommender to discuss the matter."

Anna finally moved her gaze in satisfaction, and the principals sighed with relief.

The originally good discussion atmosphere was disrupted by this matter, and it would take some time to restore it.

A dozen seconds later, the muscle on the head of the teaching department’s face twisted slightly into a dry smile as he returned, he did not sit in his place but stood at the door like the female teacher, hanging his head.

"This student... has a somewhat special situation."

This statement undoubtedly indicated his change of stance, Anna got up as she intended to personally see how special the person outside was, the door opened.

"Sorry for entering without your permission, but I really have many important matters to attend to this afternoon, if I’ve disturbed you, I sincerely apologize!", Lynch entered, sporting an apologetic smile.

The principal’s expression changed somewhat, compared to the female teacher and ordinary people, he was more attentive to the Federation’s current affairs, naturally knowing that during this time, two very special figures had been making waves, Lynch and Truman.

There’s speculation of new changes with Truman possibly being promoted.

Without mentioning this gentleman, solely talking about Lynch is astonishing enough.

Young as he is, he’s made quite a name for himself in Bupen and made people unable to ignore him or his ideas.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was Lynch.

The principal showed a more inscrutable smile and glanced slightly at the vice-principal beside him, who also wore an interesting smile.

A few seconds later, Anna recognized Lynch, "You’re Lynch?!", she confirmed almost immediately after speaking, "What are you doing here, enrolling?"

To her, Lynch doesn’t need to attend school at all, he already has considerable personal influence in certain realms, making his education less meaningful.

Lynch nodded in greeting to everyone, as a gesture of politeness. He sized up Anna, smiling, and said, "Learning promotes progress, human development is essentially the product of continuous exploration and verification of knowledge."

"I’m here to attend school naturally, what do you think?", he gallantly extended his hand, "I see you know me, Lynch!"

It must be said that Lynch is still a graceful fellow with excellent exterior and demeanor, but Anna did not shake hands with him.

Shaking hands with Lynch would mean endorsing this fellow; she had just been angered over this matter, and if she initiated compromise now, undermining her position, she’d become a joke.

The girl thought calmly, then shook her head, she did not extend her hand, "Are you a recommended student?"

Refusing to shake hands with a young gentleman is every lady’s right; Lynch’s expression remained unchanged almost entirely, he retracted his hand, looked at the girl briefly, did not answer her question, and instead walked to the meeting table, "May I ask which one is the principal?"

Ignored, Anna closely eyed Lynch, this was her first experience of being deliberately overlooked.

The usually silent principal looked at Lynch, "It should be me!"

Lynch stepped beside him, took out a recommendation letter, and handed it over, "Here’s my recommendation letter, so when can I have the interview?"

Unexpectedly peaceful now, Anna sat nearby. She had the right to do so, for she was the student council president, and she also had the authority to review these recommended students.

The principal took out a finely crafted lens from his pocket, he glanced at the envelope and smiled, then showed the envelope to the vice-principal and other board members, and then sliced it open with a letter opener.

He didn’t break the seal on the envelope, which was to prevent certain special situations, then quickly skimmed through the letter and handed it to others.

"Anytime, Mr. Lynch!", the principal stood up and shook hands with Lynch, "The letter is quite clear, choosing our school is indeed our honor!"

This remark is not the principal flattery nor excessive exaggeration, any figure capable of influencing the President is tremendously significant.

Perhaps most of the time, they don’t have substantial value, but once they are needed, they can decide the changes in a field, an industry, the entire sector, let alone Lynch, rumored to have close ties with Mr. Truman, with Lynch’s involvement, they have more options when communicating externally.

For instance, one of the President’s key staff choosing Saint Secheka implicitly enhances the school’s status and prestige, and can attract more excellent individuals here.

Lynch isn’t exactly one of the President’s staff, yet the President, on various occasions, expresses reliance on Lynch’s ideas, even publicly stated having quoted Lynch in his speeches.

Aside from an official title and a fixed salary, Lynch is almost indistinguishable from a staff officer, so the principal thinking this way and others speaking thus isn’t problematic.

Wardrick’s recommendation letter finally reached Anna’s hand, she first looked at the signature on the letter and her expression became a bit stiff.

Wardrick, in the Federation, not many can refuse this name, even her father, her grandfather couldn’t simply dismiss it.

She also knows, she cannot change anything at this moment, no one would offend Mr. Wardrick just for her "face", her struggle is destined to be futile.

Lynch was shaking hands with the school’s leadership, those unqualified could only watch aside eagerly, after acquainting with those who should get to know each other, Lynch continued to pose the question, "When can I interview, as I’ve other matters to address this afternoon."

He emphasized the words again, placing significance on the important matters this afternoon.

The principal reacted swiftly, unlike when Anna was furious, like a mute with senility, "Are we not already interviewing?", he laughed, shook Lynch’s hand again, "Welcome to join Saint Secheka, Mr. Lynch, would you be willing to speak as the freshman representative for the new student welcome activities?"

Lynch agreed almost without much thought, this was also an opportunity to expand his influence, "Of course, speaking as the new student representative of Saint Secheka is my honor."

"Does the school have a predetermined topic, or should I prepare the speech myself?"

"Feel free, just a casual talk."

The entire management and board members were very relaxed, Lynch was gaining popularity, exaggeratedly speaking, he could represent a certain ideological trend.

Anna frowned watching Lynch chat happily with those fellows and interrupted them, "I reserve my opinion, I have things to attend to, farewell.".

As she stepped out of the meeting room door, Lynch turned slightly, using the corner of his eye to glance at her back, then turned back smilingly, "I seem to have made this lady somewhat..."

He smiled brilliantly, "Did I offend her in some way?"

Of course, Lynch merely intended to avoid potentially further escalation of conflicts, it wasn’t about holding grudges. How could Mr. Lin, such an accommodating person, harbor resentment against a little girl?
