Chapter 837
Their charitable actions truly hit home. The students burst into applause, cheering and shouting with excitement.
The host took the mic, saying, "Alright, everyone, it's time to vote for the standout alum among our four distinguished guests. The winner will have her photo and name forever displayed on our school's Wall of Honor."
That kind of recognition is something every entrepreneur dreams about. Having your name etched into a prestigious institution can do wonders for both your company's image and your personal reputation.
One student blurted out, "Wow, Selena is insanely generous! She donated fifty million dollars—that's what I call a responsible entrepreneur, giving back to the community! I'm totally head over heels for her; I'm definitely her number one fan! My vote's for her!"
Another student chimed in, "Even though Joy didn't give as much, it was still a hefty sum. I heard Selena and Joy are besties, practically sisters. They're both gorgeous and kind-hearted, which is why they're such a great fit. They're my idols! I'm stuck in a dilemma; I can't decide who to vote for!"
A third student added, "I'm a bit shallow; I go for looks. Besides being loaded, Selena is drop-dead gorgeous. Word is she's got two kids, but you'd never know it. Her looks, her skin, and her figure could pass for a college student's. I'm all for Selena. She gets my vote!"
Student four echoed, "Agreed +1."
Student five added, "Agreed +N."
Another student, looking a bit miffed, said, "But Joy has that powerful presence, a real boss-lady vibe, and her brother's a rising star. No matter how rich Selena is, she can't compete with that. I'm all about strong women like Joy. My vote's for Joy."
The students were buzzing with energy, debating passionately while also blowing up the campus group chat on their phones, rallying support for their favorites.
On stage, a curtain slowly dropped, revealing a screen that showed the real-time voting results.
Selena's numbers were through the roof, way ahead of the pack.
Joy was in second but still had a considerable gap to close.
The other two alumni, meanwhile, were just barely in the running, more like placeholders than real contenders.

trick.
Selena stole a glance at Joy. Joy was known for being fiercely competitive: She must have known how much Selena was giving, yet she only made a symbolic donation of ten million. Even now, withher votes lagging, she kept a calm smile, showing no sign of frustration.
This wasn't the Joy she knew.
If Joy was in the mix, she wouldn't let Selena hog all the limelight.
What was Joy up to?
As Selena pondered, only two minutes remained for voting.
The host, mic in hand, urged everyone to get their votes in quickly.

"Ms. Selena, how do you respond to the video that's making waves online?!"
What do you think?
