Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 54

George, a talented individual in the computer science department at Toland University, comes from an ordinary working-class family. However, his exceptional skills in computer science have earned him support from Toland University, exempting him from paying tuition fees and granting him significant scholarships annually.

Furthermore, numerous companies have sought George's programming expertise, enabling him to support his parents and purchase a house in Quinston, achieving financial independence.

George can often be found in the cafeteria or the library at Toland University, which are his usual hangouts.

Previously, when Hayden wanted to install artificial intelligence programs on the top floor of Liberty Grove, he approached George to write the program. However, George declined the offer.

While George is undoubtedly a genius, he is also known for being difficult to work with, making him unaffordable for most people. Hayden didn't waste too much time on him. Instead, he sought out an overseas company to finish the renovations and AI programming.

Given this information, Violeta began to understand how Zelena managed to approach George.

It is likely that Zelena heard about George's reputation as a computer science genius and strategically positioned herself in the library or cafeteria to have a chance encounter with him. From there, she gradually utilized her skills to manipulate George and turn him into her accomplice.

Otherwise, Violeta found it hard to believe that Zelena, who previously showed disdain for George, would suddenly become friends with him. It must be George's reputation as a genius that prompted her to actively pursue a connection with him.

Every step taken by Zelena was meticulously calculated, as she had long been preparing for the future.

Meanwhile, in her previous life, Violeta was still struggling with her living expenses.

Violeta never stood a chance against Zelena.

Unfortunately for Zelena, she was a step too late in this life, and she would have to experience the bitterness of being intercepted.

Zelena and her companions returned to school.

Earlier that morning, Zelena had spent nearly three thousand dollars at the café, unaware that it belonged to Violeta.

She and her friends came back to school. Candy asked, "Lena, did you know that café belongs to Violeta?"

This remark hit a sore spot, but Zelena suppressed her anger and replied, "I had no idea."

Gillian said, "Seems like this Violeta is quite resourceful. Even you didn't know about her café..."

Having already suffered enough from this incident, Zelena didn't want to discuss Violeta any further. She interrupted and said, "Alright, enough already. Let's not mention her again. You guys go to the classroom first. I'll head to the library."

After speaking, Zelena turned around and walked away.

Gillian and Candy stood there, stunned.

Zelena arrived at the library, knowing in advance that the computer genius George often frequented it to surf the internet.

George was undoubtedly a valuable connection that Zelena couldn't afford to miss!

Establishing a relationship with George would greatly assist Zelena in managing online data in the future.

She had heard that George was a homebody!

In order to get close to George, Zelena had dressed up, wearing a pure and innocent pleated skirt. She refused to believe that the geeky George wouldn't be moved by her appearance!

Initially, she had planned to cause trouble at Violeta's café, but little did she know that Violeta owned the café herself.

With her luck running out, Zelena urgently needed to regain her confidence.

She went to the library, where the librarian had been bribed by Zelena. Upon seeing Zelena's arrival, the librarian quickly approached and said, "Zelena, you're here early. George hasn't arrived yet."

Zelena frowned. "Didn't you say he usually comes to the library at this time? Why hasn't he come today?"

The librarian replied, "I don't know, but even though he hasn't arrived, you can wait for him at that seat over there."

Zelena was speechless, but she had no choice.

She went to the seat where George often sat and waited, taking out her phone to take a picture of her appearance. After confirming that there were no flaws, she felt relieved.

After a while, George arrived at the library with his computer.
