Chapter 136
The audience started clapping as soon as the emcee finished speaking.
All the bosses and big shots stared at the door in anticipation, wondering who the new director of the Electronics Technology
Association would be. This person would be the one guiding the industry of electronics technology for the next four years.
The spotlight shone on a figure walking through the door clad in a black power suit with her hair tied up in a high bun.
a professional-looking woman
“What?!” Elijah exclaimed in disbelief. He was the first person to respond, Rubbing his eyes, he added, “Is there a problem with
my eyes? Because I think that’s Mrs. Hunt!!
Stefan frowned slightly. He stared at Renee’s graceful figure, completely caught off guard.
Renee walked up to the podium with her head held high, her eyes scanning the audience below. She then introduced herself,
“Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Renee Everheart, and I
am the new director of the Electronics Technology Association.”
Renee used to either dress casually or glamorously, but today, she was dressed professionally in a power suit, paired with silver-
rimmed glasses, which lent her an air of smart competence.
Her narrow pencil skirt hugged her shapely hips, and her light colored silk stockings emphasized her long and slender legs,
adding a touch of alluring charm to her slick
appearance. Needless to say, the eyes of all the men in the audience were instantly glued to her
as soon as she appeared.
Nevertheless, although her appearance was impeccable, the people who participated in the summit forum were all top dogs in
their fields. There was no way that they would allow an unqualified woman to take up the important position of director of the
association! And so, after getting over their momentary awe over her looks, they all started grumbling in dissatisfaction.
“Isn’t that President Hunt’s ex-wife? Is she so distraught from getting dumped that she wandered into the wrong room?”
“Are the standards for the director of the Electronics Technology Association so low nowadays that they just pluck a random
person off the streets to take up the position? They’re clearly messing with us!”
The emcee was beginning to feel disconcerted as they faced a tide of mockery and cynicism in the room.
“Everyone,” he implored, “please calm down and listen to me. Ms. Everheart has been selected as the director of the association
because she fulfilled all the requirements for the position. All
the information that she submitted is also completely in line with the qualifications to be selected. Her academic background is
also incredibly impressive, and she has published numerous papers in famous journals both in this country and abroad. It’s only
a shame that we’ve always regarded her as the wife of Mr. Stefan Hunt in the past and totally overlooked her skills and
excellence in other aspects...”
“But the most important thing,” he added, “is that she is the biggest investor of this summit, and she’s also the one Mr. Y
personally selected as the director of the association, thus proving that she undoubtedly deserves this position!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly shut their mouths. Since she had been handpicked by Mr. Y himself, perhaps there really
was something special about her.
Renee smiled calmly, scanned the audience, and picked up the microphone, saying, “I can perfectly understand your biases
against me. After all, in your eyes, I’m nothing but a pitiful, useless woman who’s been discarded by a man. But that doesn’t
matter, because I’ll use my skills and strengths to banish all of your preconceived biases!”
After that, she proceeded to give her inauguration speech.
“In my view, chip technology is the core of the electronics industry, and it’s also the area that presents the most challenges to
overcome, namely from the development of semiconductors and microparticles...”
Her speech flowed as smoothly and naturally as a river. Although the audience initially paid attention to see how she would make
a fool of herself, they gradually became convinced of her capabilities and were then immersed in her eloquent speech.
Stefan’s gaze was laser-focused on Renee from start to finish, and he became more and more lost in her as time went on. Every
move of her eyebrows, every glance, every frown, and every smile was so lively and enchanting that he felt like he was meeting
her for the first time.
Although he was only a few feet away from the stage where she stood, he could not help but
feel as if the distance between Renee and himself had stretched out into a distance as vast as
the impassable sea....
Renee received a thunderous applause at the end of her speech. This signified that her position as the new director of the
association had been accepted without question.
Meanwhile, Jake Hunt stood at the exit, right at the very edge of the venue. He leaned his tall figure against the wall lazily. His
dashingly flawless face, which resembled Stefan’s, was partially hidden under the mask, but beneath it, a wry smile had cropped
up.
It was clear that he had made the perfect choice. This woman was even more of a hidden gem than he expected her to be. What
a huge loss for Stefan, to have let her slip through his fingers so easily!
