268 Winner Takes All 2

---Yve's team ---

"Yve, what should we do? I'm not confident with the sudden oral reporting."

"Don't worry. Just review your own articles and you will do fine." Lester said.

"Yes, that would be correct. But since the professor doesn't have enough time to read out the articles, he might just ask superficial questions." Yve shared her thoughts on the matter.

"What do you mean?"

"Like why we have magazine as an output, the design for the lay-out, the order of the articles as well as the title of each article." Yve explained.

"Oh my!! When I chose the layout, it was purely because it was great and nothing else." One of her team mates gasped.

"Don't worry about that. I'll let Lester handle the order of the articles as it is his expertise. As for the magazine and design, I'll explain it on my own." Yve eased their worries.

"Are you sure about that, Yve?" Lester asked.

"Yup. So all of you can focus on your titles as well as the reason why you created that article, okay?"

"Okay!" They all smiled and prepared their respective answers at the same time.

"Time is up! I want your eyes on me now. I will call your names in accordance to the order of submission." The professor announced.

Three teams had answered their professor's questions and only nodded in recognition. Then it was finally Jenny's group. They stood up in front of the class when Jenny's name was called.

"Let's begin. I have a question for all of you except Miss Jenny. What do you know about the company?" The professor asked.

Jenny's group mates look at her lost in what to answer as company introduction wasn't part of their tour as well as during their meeting a few minutes earlier. The professor looked a bit dismayed as nobody answered him.

"Okay, now let's just have Miss Jenny answer the question." The professor instructed and instantly Jenny responds with confidence.

"Thank you. Now let's move on to your articles." The professor said and started to ask each other questions about their articles.

However, just like the first question, the members weren't confident and Jenny had to answer for them. The professor got more annoyed as time passed by. So ending their turn, the professor sighed and looked at the last team.

"Take your seat now. Let's have Ms. Yvory's team please." The professor proceeded.

"Describe the company that you chose except for Ms. Yvory."

"The company's name is SkyMu and it's one of the uprising entertainment companies in the country." Her group mate answered first and was instantly followed by another member.

"Its most famous artist is Hyacinth who is now resting after the series of concert tours."

"It's also making noise in the business world as the total change it experienced after the change in its mysterious president."

"Lastly, the employees, artists, and trainees like the changes the president had brought to the company and slowly threatening other entertainment companies with their growth." Lester concluded.

"Hmm…Let's go to the next question and anybody can answer. Your output is quite unique and arranged like a magazine. Can you tell me the reason for this?"

"Let me answer that question, professor." Yve volunteered and as their professor agreed, she continued.

"Since the company we chose is an entertainment company, magazine is a perfect choice of output to give an idea on the things they can expect. Although there are many kinds of magazines, entertainment is one of the most famous. Lastly, I believe that we can also utilize Mr. Lester's experience and knowledge in making our output a creative one."

"So, is there any reason for the arrangement of the contents inside?" The professor continued to ask and when everyone thought that Yve will answer, Lester stepped forward instead.

"Yes, Sir. As what we said earlier, the company underwent big, significant changes and we decided to show the before and after of the different affected departments in the company. We also gathered the thoughts of the employees. This is also the reason behind the time-inspired design layout of the magazine. All of the information released is with permission by the president herself so there's nothing to worry out."

Lester's explanation brought gossips within the room. Nobody has ever met the new president of SkyMu. With Yve as the leader, it wasn't difficult to draw a line that it was Yve who arranged the meeting.

"So they have met the president already."

"I heard that SkyMu is actually a subsidy company under the wings of Stones Enterprise which is owned by Yve's family."

"So do you think that Yve is the new president?"

"I don't think so. I mean she's smart but she's still a student. Entrusting a company to a freshmen student would be too much a risk, don't you think?"

"How about Stones Enterprises, then?"

"I heard that Mr. Gray is managing it along with Gray Group of Companies."

"Mr. Gray is truly amazing!"

"You bet and to be married to him, Yve is really lucky."

"I'm more jealous than ever."

"Ehemm….." The professor's slight cough was enough to get the silence the student inside the classroom.

"Now for the last question, I want each writer to explain or summarize their articles." The professor said and was followed by the members' individual explanation.

Opposite to Jenny's members, Yve's team was confident of their answers. Even as the professor asked follow-up questions, they answered them flawlessly. The reaction of the professor was so good that no one can tell he was annoyed prior to Yve's group. It was like the entire class was saved thanks to the good performance of Yve, Lester and the rest of the gang.

"That's all. You may now sit down. Thank you." The professor smiled as he takes his place in front of the class.

"I think you already know which team will get the highest grade in this project. The main purpose for this project is how wide and deep your knowledge of a given general topic. Some were able to grasp it but many weren't and that's where the reason for this oral reporting. I gave you thirty minutes to talk and hopefully share the ideas that you have gathered with your teammates. However, most of you failed to do that. You were thinking that this was an individual assessment? You are wrong!"

The professor's explanation was enough for them to reflect on their actions. After his speech, the professor ended the class and left the students in the classroom to wait for their third period. Jenny left in frustration,
