The program decided to live-stream for two main reasons: first, to boost viewership and generate buzz; second,

in hopes that

a generous big spender might show up and shower the stream with gifts.

[User 87309921 just sent 99 “Star Showers” in the live-stream room!]

A staff member rushed over to the director. “Mr. Clarke, look! A whale just dropped in on the stream!”

Ryan Clarke leaned in for a look, unimpressed. “Those ‘Star Showers’ aren't worth much.”

But just as he finished speaking, the user's account-initially at consumption level 1-suddenly shot up to level 46.

[User 87309921 sent 99+ “Grand Fireworks” in the live-stream room!]

[User 87309921 sent 99+ “Diamond Grand Fireworks” in the live-stream room!]

[User 87309921 sent 99+ “Pink Limited-edition Grand Fireworks” in the live-stream room!]

Ryan gulped. “Well, would you look at that! A real big spender!”

The chat in the live-stream went wild! People didn’t even catch a word of the tasks announced in the program.

They were completely blown away by the non-stop stream of gifts.

[Is this a super-fan of one of the celebrity guests? So loaded! Throwing money around like it’s nothing!]

[No idea. A level 1 newbie account going straight to level 46! That's insane!]

[Suddenly | get why they turned this program into a live-stream. It’s all about raking in the cash!]

Kaia was oblivious to all this. She was busy with the projection, then quietly stepped out of the shot and stood in

the corner.

Meanwhile, Ryan, with his eyes glued to the live-stream, muttered, “Huh, why'd the big spender stop?”

The chat in the live-stream calmed down.

Then, when Kaia cout to pack up the equipment and re-entered the shot, the “Grand Fireworks” started

raining down again in the live-stream room!

[Wow! | think | know who it is. It must be a family member of one of the guests in the observation room.]

[Yeah, maybe. Didn't they say she’s that young heir’s fiancée? So lucky! Not only does she have a rich boyfriend,

but she’s also

Suddenly, the chat in the live-stream was filled with well-wishes for their long-lasting relationship.

Lucien raised an eyebrow. How did the netizens figure out his relationship with Kaia?

Impressive.

Well, he'd gladly accept these blessings.

When Kaia was out of the shot, Lucien stopped sending gifts.

The interns were all full of confidence, ready to show what they

could do.

Kaia led them to the workstations and let them choose their

seats.

Then she briefly told them where the printer and the break room were, and then left them to their own devices.

The deadline for the first group task was 7 p.m.

Since it was the first time, they were given plenty of time.

By 5 pm, the first intern had submitted their assignment.

More and more followed suit, and by 6 p.m., most of them had

By 6:50 p.m., there was only one intern left at the workstation.

Kaia walked over kindly and reminded him, “You've got ten minutes left. Keep an eye on the time.”

A shy boy in simple clothes nodded. “Okay, thanks.”

The interns who had submitted their assignments early had already gone hsince the results would be

announced the next morning.

Kaia was thinking she’d be able to leave at 7 p.m. sharp.

Jude stepped out of his office and closed the door. The other four mentor lawyers did the same.

No one wanted to work overtime.

But that boy was still scratching his head in front of the

computer.

Luna, who was in the observation room and almost dozing off, was impatient. What a slowpoke. He was really

holding them

up.

She said, “Heh, looks like this Harry still hasn't finished, even though the time’s up,” she said.

But Jude didn’t want to change the rules easily. Being late was being late, no matter the reason.

“Sorry,” he said.

Luna finally found the perfect

opportunity to be sarcastic. “Oh, phat

a pity. But Mr. Halster(is really strict.

exception for just three minutes.

Oliver smiled and explained, “I'm not just speaking for Mr. Halston. In our law field, we really value time. Even

three minutes can lead to serious consequences.”

Luna just gave a noncommittal smile and didn’t say anything

more.

Finally, the recording of the first day was over.

Kaia was ready to head home.

She took the elevator down with Harry. “Don’t get discouraged,” she told him gently. “Your performance in the

first task doesn’t define you.”

Harry was the only ordinary contestant among the ten trainees.

No powerful connections. Solid, but unremarkable academic credentials.

Next to the rest, he didn’t exactly shine.

But Kaia believed that grit could outrun genius.

She gave him an encouraging smile and waved goodbye before skipping toward a familiar, low-profile luxury car.

Harry watched the kind senior lawyer get into the sleek vehicle, a faint, wry smile tugging at his lips.

So... he really was the only ordinary one.

Inside the car, Lucien gave her a sideways glance, his voice tinged with jealousy.

“Who's that guy just now? He looks really young.”
