When Simon saw her, he couldn't help calling out, "Zayla."
Zayla didn't respond. She didn't even look at him.
Simon's palm on his knee suddenly clenched tight, and he felt an indescribable pain in his chest.
Did she really no longer have any feelings for him?
At that moment, applause sounded.
The former president, Lydon, entered the venue and smiled as he waved to the crowd and took a seat in the middle.
The competition was about to begin!
In the first round, the candidates took turns coming onstage to deliver their prepared speeches.
The seven candidates drew lots, and Zayla was ranked fifth.
The speeches were all prepared in advance. To put it bluntly, it was just a formality.
The second round was the main event when the seven candidates would answer the tough questions posed by representatives of major companies.
