His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544 - The Revelation Part IV

The clueless ones were confused upon seeing the shocked expressions of the people around them.

"What’s going on? Why are you so shocked? What’s Cross Academy? Is it a good school? Like C9 League or maybe—OMG—Ivy league level?"

"Are you serious? You’re asking if Cross Academy is a good school?! Are you freaking kidding me?!!! What C9 League? What Ivy League? Those schools are nothing compared to Cross Academy!!! Don’t you know that Cross Academy is the freaking BESTEST OF THE BEST school in the world?!!! That’s the legendary school for geniuses!!!"

"Whoa! Really? Aren’t you exaggerating? If it’s really the best school in the world, why haven’t I heard about it before? Maybe it’s just an urban legend or something?"

"Sssssh! Not so loud! Do you want Sir Lu Jianhong to scold you like what he did to that poor guy just now? Just shut your mouth and don’t embarrass us. If you get scolded by Sir Lu Jianhong, I don’t know you!"

"Fine. What a friend you are! Anyway, just tell me what you know about this Cross Academy because I really don’t know anything about it."

"Okay, listen to me. Not many people know about Cross Academy so it’s not surprising that you have no idea about it. Even I only learned about it by watching an English documentary. Cross Academy is a very isolated and secretive place somewhere in Europe. I forgot which country. It’s either in Sweden or Switzerland, maybe even in the Netherlands...I can’t remember. Very few students are admitted—only the most genius among geniuses! Apparently, they only enroll a student every few years because nobody could pass their extremely high standards!"

"Whoa! Really? Wow! So if Iris Long’s friend, that Amanpio guy, is really a Cross Academy student, then isn’t he awesome?!"

"Of course, he is! Duh!"

Conversations like this were occurring all over the audience. Iris swept her eyes across them, hearing most of what they were talking about with her great hearing. She asked her friends earlier if it was alright with them if she revealed that they were Cross Academy students. They had no issues with it at all.

Iris didn’t wait for the murmurs to stop before she began speaking again. "Next, I would like to thank another friend, Theresa Blipsburg. She’s a biomedical engineering student who’s helping save countless of lives by developing innovative state-of-the-art medical instruments and medical drugs. She also has a background in chemical engineering."

The other guests looked at the group of foreigners again, trying to figure out who Theresa Blipsburg was.

"After buying the Bauer sibling’s homemade skincare concoctions at the street market in Munich, I sent Theresa a few samples. She confirmed through lab tests that every single one of them are indeed 100% natural. She did it for me even though she was extremely busy with her own research. Thanks to her, I made the decision to invest in the Bauer siblings and create Orchidia Beauty," Iris revealed.

The audience oohed and aahed again.

"Thank you, Theresa. I know that you’re always busy with your own research but you still took the time to do me that favour. I’m so grateful. Can you please stand up and let everyone see you?" Iris asked her friend.

Theresa stood up and waved at the other guests who were clapping at her. Her actions were modest unlike Amanpio earlier.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot," Iris said. "Theresa is also a Cross Academy student."

WHAT?!!!

Seriously?!! Again?!!!

"Don’t tell me that all the foreigners in that group are Cross Academy students," someone said.

"How could that be? Do you think that the geniuses from such a prestigious school as Cross Academy would have so much free time to attend a new company’s launch? In your dreams! Geniuses are too busy doing...uh, genius stuff! They don’t have time to waste on parties like this!"

"But we already have two Cross Academy students!"

"That’s it. I bet there are only two of them. No more!"

"Well, I bet that there would be more!"

Iris smiled, enjoying the audience’s speculations.

"My friend, dear Florence, is also a student of Cross Academy," she announced.

The audience gasped once again. What? Cross Academy again? What was happening today? Was this company launch some sort of an assembly for Cross Academy students? The people were all very amazed at meeting these geniuses in the flesh.

Sir Lu Jianhong was the only living Chinese alumni of the legendary school today. There were two of them before Jin Liwei’s grandfather died. Right now, there weren’t any Chinese student enrolled in Cross Academy. Wouldn’t it be cool to have another one? He or she would be the next great pride of the country, especially since Sir Lu Jianhong was already advanced in years. When it was time for the old man to go into eternal rest, would there be no one to hold the banner of their country as a Cross Academy student in the future?

Someone from the younger generation was needed. Sir Lu Jianhong was now too old for the country’s youth to fully understand the honour and pride he and his best friend, Jin Liwei’s grandfather, brought to the country when the two became Cross Academy students all those decades ago. Many of the young people didn’t know about the amazing legacy Sir Lu Jianhong and Jin Liwei’s grandfather left the country’s business world by building what was now the world-class Jin Corporation from the ground up.

If another Chinese became a Cross Academy student while Sir Lu Jianhong was still alive, how amazing would that be? They could brag to the whole world that their country didn’t lack for geniuses.

A few people in the audience cheered after Iris Long announced that Florence O’Sevan was a Cross Academy student as well. Some, however, groaned.

"Yes! I won the bet! I knew it! There are more than two Cross Academy present here tonight! Don’t forget to pay up!"

"Dammit! I lost. What the hell? How many Cross Academy students are here right now? Don’t tell me there are more after Florence?" _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

"I think that that there are only three."

"I bet that that the other foreigners from the same table are all Cross Academy students. Who wants to bet against me? Come on!"

Florence O’Sevan stood up from her seat and waved at the other guests who clapped for her in amazement. She and the others from Cross Academy didn’t know the people started a betting pool because of them.
