Chapter 1568: 699 Return to slap the face (Up)_6 Chapter 1568: 699 Return to slap the face (Up)_6 Written exams, interviews, oral exams, hurdle after hurdle, it was like passing five levels and defeating six generals.
Charlotte Aria, too, had participated in the selection process.
She had exceptional grades in high school, but upon entering a university teeming with talent, she began to feel overwhelmed.
There were many people more talented than her.
She needed to work extremely hard just to maintain her grades, and advancing a step further seemed virtually impossible.
Under these circumstances, she had no particular advantage when she participated in the selection for the reception team.
This was a prime opportunity to stand out.
...
If fortunate, it could potentially provide exposure to the highest strata of society and, with a bit more luck, lead to recognition from the likes of princes and princesses.
This could only serve as an invaluable resource for her connections and networking.
Seeing her grades were significantly behind, Charlotte subtly brought up the matter in Madam Martinez’s presence.
As fate would have it, a maternal nephew of Madam Martinez happened to lead one of the subsections of the reception team.
As the saying goes, ‘It’s easier to get things done when you know people in high places’.
Thus, Charlotte Aria managed to join the reception team through the back door.
All members of the reception team had to undergo a three-month training program, which included etiquette classes, language classes, and even courses on flower arrangement and equestrianism.
Fortunately, Charlotte Aria had been brought up in the Aria family and learned all these from an early age, which allowed her to quickly stand out among the other members.
In the third month, assignments would be determined by a draw.
According to Charlotte, there were as many as a hundred delegations visiting, some of which were from lesser-known countries.
If one ended up drawing such a delegation, that really would be rotten luck.
Charlotte silently prayed for good luck.
The drawing was digital.
You would click your mouse, and a random bamboo stick would drop from a cylinder on the computer screen.
The nation represented by that bamboo stick would also appear on a large screen behind you.
It was said that the algorithm was developed by a genius senior from the Computer Science Department to prevent any possible tampering or cheating.
Charlotte looked at the lecture hall that could fit a thousand people, filled with students.
These were essentially the nation’s top talents and the hope for the nation’s future.
Students whose names were called out would go on the stage and choose a bamboo stick.
If the luck of the draw resulted in a powerful country, there would usually be four to six individuals assigned to its delegation.
For smaller countries, there were generally two to four, with a minimum of two to provide mutual support.
Those who drew the same stick would form a team for the coming month.

Overjoyed, Vanie Hayes came over and sat down next to Charlotte.
“I’m so happy.
I drew the Royalty Kingdom.
It’s said that among the delegations this time, there are princes and princesses.
I will be able to meet real princes and princesses.”
Charlotte Aria smiled.
“Congratulations.”
Lowering her lashes, her eyes turned cold.
She had wanted to draw the Royalty Kingdom, but someone else had beaten her to it.
It was then that Charlotte heard her name being called.
She took a deep breath and slowly got up.
Vanie Hayes clenched her right fist.
“Good luck.”
Charlotte looked at the screen as the bamboo stick turned into a series of letters.
She blinked in confusion, trying her best to figure out the meaning behind the letters.
The teacher’s warm voice sounded nearby: “Charlotte has drawn Percival.
A lot of you may not know this nation.
It’s located at the southernmost part of the earth, high in latitude.
There’s scarce sunlight due to which most of the country is covered with glaciers.
This nation has a long history that traces back to!”
Percival?
Charlotte felt rather helpless.
She had never even heard of this country.
Just like its weather, it seemed to be out of the common run.
Disappointed, Charlotte returned to her seat, holding the materials given to her by the teacher about Percival’s culture, geography, and climate.
The more she read, the more exasperated she became.
She would never possibly go to this place.
Why should she have to know about it?
Seeing that Charlotte was in a bad mood, Vanie Hayes didn’t say anything more.
When it was over, a girl with pigtails came over: “Hello, my name is Lachlan Polly.
I’m a sophomore in the Department of Foreign Languages.
We’re going to be a team from now on.”
The girl was petite and delicately pretty, with a round face and sparkling black eyes, full of vigor and vitality.
Charlotte casually uttered a “Hmm” and added, “I’ll be relying on you.”
Lachlan Polly sat down next to her, bringing out a notebook from her backpack.
It was filled with densely written notes and symbols, some of which were clipped news articles.
Lachlan Polly flipped to the last page.
“Found it, Percival.
Our delegation for us to host.
I believe you probably have no clue about this country.
But don’t worry, I’ve made preparations.”
