Mira obliged the crowd and sang two songs. The rest of the time was left for the other students to perform.
Halfway through, noticing that the snacks Reece had bought were gone, Mira had the Solflare Grand Hotel deliver a batch of premium treats, which were quickly devoured by everyone.
Mira knew those snacks had been bought with the class fund. The budget was tight, so they naturally had to pinch pennies.
Now, everyone knew Mira was a billionaire boss. Showing a little generosity occasionally was just part of carrying that title.
As long as she earned good reviews from the majority of them, it was worth it.
In reality, the smart students were all trying to get on Mira's good side. Being classmates with her was a ready-made network; anyone who didn't take advantage of it was a fool.
Whether for building connections or hoping to join the Solflare Group after graduation, it was a win-win situation.
They were all classmates, and Mira was willing to help them out where she could.
Luna Lance had fallen, and her former crony Vanessa Voss and the rest had quieted down. Now, practically no one was at odds with Mira.
After the meeting ended, Mira handed out the remaining bike-share cards, giving one each to Liora and Reece, and one to Harvey Rivers and his roommates.
She also gave one to each of the professors and counselors. It was a small token of appreciation.
Handing out gifts worth thousands of dollars bordered on bribery, and the faculty wouldn't dare accept them.
But a bike-share card was different. With a modest value of ten dollars, it was just a fun, practical gift.
There were plenty of shared bikes around campus, making them convenient for daily use, so both professors and students would find them handy.
The campus visit concluded smoothly, and Mira prepared to head home with Jax.
"Mira! Mira..."
As they walked past the campus gates, Mira heard someone calling her name. She turned to see two unfamiliar women.
"You are..."
"Wow, Mira, you really are forgetful now that you're a big shot. I'm Sienna Marwood, and this is Hannah Greer."
The other girl nodded.
