Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 415

While the lineup boasted a roster of heavy hitters, each delivering brilliant presentations, it was Mr. Smith, the symposium's closing keynote speaker, who drew the most thunderous applause and palpable anticipation.

Dressed in a sharp suit, he walked to the podium with a calm, measured pace. The sheer authority of his years in the field radiated from him, instantly anchoring the entire room. He was the undeniable focal point.

Leo Yardley was practically buzzing with excitement. This was a man he had only ever seen in journals and on news broadcasts. Now, standing right in front of him, Leo almost forgot to breathe.

Living up to his reputation as a global pioneer, every word Mr. Smith shared was pure gold. Over the course of an hour, he clinically dismantled complex technical principles, outlined clinical breakthroughs, and presented actionable data. Every hypothesis and every graph on the screen represented years of grueling, top-tier scientific struggle.

The entire audience sat in rapt attention. Not a single person dared to check their phone. All eyes were glued to the stage and the projected schematics. Some attendees scribbled furiously in their notebooks, while others stared intently, brows furrowed in deep concentration. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, everyone completely immersed in the masterclass unfolding before them.

When the presentation concluded, Leo exhaled a long breath. "Incredible. He really is a world-class titan. His insight is on an entirely different plane than ours."

Willow completely agreed. She was familiar with many of the concepts Mr. Smith had touched upon, but realistically, the domestic infrastructure still lagged slightly behind the international forefront. No matter how brilliant she was, there were environmental limitations she couldn't outrun.

Next came the open Q&A and networking session, where attendees could freely approach the speakers. Unsurprisingly, Willow and Leo headed straight for Mr. Smith. Half the room had the exact same idea, creating a massive crowd around him.

While they waited in line, Leo frantically smoothed his tie and adjusted his jacket. He even asked Willow to check if he looked presentable, terrified of making a poor first impression through some minor faux pas.
