In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

The result of the competition was reported on the front page of the Financial Times the next day - four female students from LSE intended to use financial models to solve the inflation problem.

The accompanying picture shows four energetic girls standing on the podium holding the trophy.

Be full of vigor and vitality, that's how a girl should be!

This report sparked heated discussion. Against the backdrop of the UK's inflation rate reaching 24.2%, the academic-style report that passed the jury's review and defeated the proposals of a number of elite students quickly became a "hot search" that day.

Anyone who attended the report that day was asked about the situation by relatives, friends and neighbors.

Can this financial product really save or alleviate the inflation problem?

Conservatives do not approve of the plan developed by the students, believing it to be theoretical and overly idealistic; radicals believe it has never been tried, and with inflation being so high, if they wait any longer, their savings over the next few years will be useless, so they might as well take a gamble.

Amidst various opinions, the names of Selene and the other three suddenly became known throughout the city of London.

Of course, the Labour Party played a key role in this. After all, this plan is beneficial to the Labour Party.

This is true in urban areas and also in universities.

During a course on "Money and Banking," conservative professor Aaron singled out Selene for criticism: "The financial model Selene developed...is ridiculously unconstrained by historical precedent. Researchers need to be more realistic. Women's overly optimistic and emotional thinking cannot handle complex financial models. Otherwise, the impact will be devastating to the entire national economy."

hiss!

Someone in the classroom gasped.

What the professor said was too much. Some female students frowned and looked at Fu Ziyan with concern, while some self-righteous male students expressed their agreement.

Fu Ziyan remained calm, the curve of her lips even deepened, and she stood up gracefully, attracting the attention of the entire audience.

"First, my proposal was judged excellent by a professional jury of over ten judges, while the professor alone made a light judgment. Second, every road begins from scratch. When faced with adversity, we shouldn't blindly look to history; smart people must learn to innovate."

Fu Ziyan spoke very politely in the first half of the sentence, but started to use her big moves in the second half.

"The data you just used to refute me, professor, was based on the gold standard of 1956. But now we have a floating exchange rate for the British pound. Times have changed," she pointed out in a clear voice and with an even brighter smile. "I think you should update your references, professor."

"As for your claim that women can't manage financial models," Fu Ziyan smiled even sweeter. "I remember you wrote in your masterpiece four years ago that 'unions have no real impact on the economy,' but recent data clearly proves your conclusion is wrong."

Fu Ziyan's smile suddenly faded, and she said in a cold tone, "So I think it's probably not gender that's outdated, but knowledge."

"What do you think?"

There was an uproar.

Selene is so amazing!

The professor glared at Fu Ziyan, turned and left the classroom. The handouts he brought with him remained alone on the podium, fluttering in the wind as he left.

"Selene, how do you know the content of Professor Aaron's paper?"

Fu Ziyan smiled and brushed it off casually: "This, I happened to see it when I was looking up information in the library while I was making a plan."

In fact, she has read a lot of literature, both those that are in line with the current social background and those that are not. In order to come up with this plan, she has read them all. After all, they can serve as a reference.

"You're amazing, Selene. I think your plan is correct!"

"Yes, the professor is sexist. First there was the Queen, then Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party. How can girls be incompetent? As for the idea that girls can't navigate the financial world, that's even more ridiculous. As far as I know, many of our graduates are working as investment managers in banks and investment banks."

If Fu Ziyan's winning of the finance competition made her famous in the Financial Times, then this time when she confronted the professor in public made her a celebrity on campus.

Teenagers of this era are rebellious.

Fu Ziyan's speech was clear and organized, with a confident and sarcastic counterattack on the corner of her lips. The professor was defeated and even forgot his lecture notes on the podium. Who would not exclaim "Wow" and "Awesome" after hearing her deeds?

This is the end.

Fu Ziyan truly experienced the joy of being a campus celebrity, not because of her family background as she did in elementary and middle school, but because of her personal charm.

For several days, she had a high rate of turning heads. Lin Yao, her Chinese tennis friend since she enrolled, approached her with a teasing smile, looking at her with admiration: "Selene, do you want to play a game of tennis after class?"

Fu Ziyan has been going to the library frequently for the past month and is now tired of the stepped bookshelves and sofa reading area.

Lin Yao happened to ask her out. Fu Ziyan thought about how she hadn't exercised much in a month. If she didn't exercise, her father would probably find out and arrange for a sports coach to come to the UK to supervise her. So she happily agreed to the invitation: "Okay, then let's go together after class."

When Fu Ziyan was joking with her friends, she didn't notice that the classmates around her had stopped what they were doing and seemed to be thinking about something.

When she got to the stadium after class, Fu Ziyan noticed that the audience was unusually crowded. She wondered, "Is there a game today?"

Lin Yao frowned. She couldn't remember any sports activities happening today. "I don't know either. Never mind. The court is so big, we can just pick an empty spot and play. Sports events that require clearing the court are usually announced in advance. Since there was no announcement this time, it must not be a big event."

That's true. Thinking of this, Fu Ziyan put aside the doubts in her heart, and after warming up, she started playing tennis.

Fu Ziyan was introduced to tennis by her father, who later hired a coach to teach her, and Shi Ye was her sparring partner. She has been a tennis player for over ten years.

Jump, swing, volley, forehand...

You come and I go, both sides are evenly matched.

After playing for half an hour, Fu Ziyan stopped filming and said she wanted to take a break. Lin Yao had no objection as they had always played like this.

Fu Ziyan was just about to get some water from her backpack in the open space on the other side when she saw a crowd of people rushing towards the open space.

Fu Ziyan:?

What kind of activity is this?

Originally, there were both boys and girls running in the front, but for some unknown reason, the girls worked together to push the boys to the back. Finally, the team standing near Fu Ziyan had girls in the first two rows, and the number of boys gradually increased from the third row onwards.

Fu Ziyan was wondering if this was just another little fan who came to "pay their respects" to her famous figure. Then she heard the leading girl's voice overlap: "Selene, I'm here to bring you some water~"

"Selene drinks mine!"

"Drink mine. Mine is light salt water, which can replenish electrolytes."

"Selene..."

The boy behind was yelling, but he couldn't grab the girl in front, so he could only raise the mineral water in his hand and wave.

Fu Ziyan was stunned.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, but I brought my own water, so I'm sorry for your kindness."

"It's okay Selene, you're such a great tennis player. Can I play with you next time?"

"I like playing basketball. Selene, do you like basketball? We can team up and play together!"

The girl's clear and lovely voice made her addicted...

Boys who were pushed to the back row: ...

Weak, helpless and pitifuljpg.

Late November is Arts Week at LSE.

As a recent celebrity, Fu Ziyan was sincerely invited by the student union to perform a talent show. Fu Ziyan, who had participated in many activities in middle school and was too lazy to participate, thought that this was her last academic year at LSE, so she agreed to participate without much hesitation.

But she never expected that the position of the person who was to present flowers to her according to the procedure would be voted on by the student union, attracting a lot of younger students to scramble for it.

Fu Ziyan was shocked again when she learned the news.

It has been a month since she confronted the professor. Recently, she is no longer stared at like a national treasure when she walks on the street. Why is everyone's enthusiasm still not waning?

The story of Fu Ziyan "calmly and smilingly scolding the angry professor" was widely circulated in the college, resulting in countless "enthusiastic" incidents like the above among younger students.

Even when she was in the final year of the "Young Eagles Class" at London Business School the following year, these "star-chasing trends" did not fade away when she left LSE, but flowed into the campus of London Business School.

The "adults" in the business school were not as passionate and immature as the younger students who had just entered university, but they were more optimistic about Fu Ziyan's ability to propose financial solutions when she was a junior.

The final year of the Young Eagles program focuses on the practical application of financial management. Students in this program come from affluent backgrounds, and their final year integrates practical instruction with direct experience in small companies assigned to them by their families, or they acquire a small company for practical learning.

In fact, there are many people like Fu Ziyan who started managing the Western European division of a hotel company in their sophomore year. Many of her friends started managing small companies such as toys, beverages, real estate, etc. in their sophomore and junior years. Some people also went to investment banks and stock exchanges for practical learning.

In the last year, while running and managing my own company, I compiled the problems encountered in management and the solutions into a paper; when my supervisor proposed some financial/management cases worthy of study, I joined research groups and continued to dig deep to find the optimal solution.

Winter comes and summer goes, summer goes and autumn comes.

At the end of October 1977, her four-year college course came to an end.

Fu Ziyan has a very friendly relationship with all the classmates in the Young Eagle Class. Although they have their own practical training in their own companies, through four years of learning, exchanges and research activities, they have established a network of relationships and contacts in various industries in developed countries around the world.

"Selene, where are you going after graduation tomorrow?" Felicity came over with a Coke. "Betty and I are planning a graduation trip. Do you want to come with us?"

"Graduation trip, where are you going? Not Europe, right? I've already been there."

"Of course not Europe. How can we go on a graduation trip to a small place like Europe?" Betty leaned over. "Have you ever seen National Geographic? Last year, French photographer Jean Lopez published photos he took in Ethiopia's Omo Valley."

"So you're planning on going to Africa?" Fu Ziyan raised an eyebrow. Admittedly, her interest was piqued, but she offered a warning, "Angola is still in the midst of a civil war."

"Let's bring the mercenaries," Felicity said confidently. "Besides, as long as we don't go to Angola and avoid the war, we'll be fine."

"Most importantly, I've invited several photography explorers who have been to Africa before. With them as guides, and mercenaries and doctors, our safety is guaranteed!"

"How about Selene, do you want to go?"

For Fu Ziyan, who has the safety guarantee of the Minors APP, this invitation is simply impossible to refuse!

Before Fu Ziyan could respond, several male voices sounded in her ears.

"You guys want to go on an African adventure? Take me with you!"

"I am coming too!"

"It's graduation trip time, a few kittens won't be enough, why not just gather the opinions of the whole class~"

Betty turned around quickly: "How could you eavesdrop?"

"I'm sorry, this is our fault." Holden apologized sincerely, "So, can you take me with you?"

Felicity & Betty & Fu Ziyan: ...

Facing the expectant gazes of several classmates, Betty said helplessly: "Okay, then you calculate the results and tell me."

Graduation brings the sadness of parting and the joy of completing studies. Apart from that, Fu Ziyan also feels a little depressed.

Her father had recently gone to the US, but the fog in the UK had made it difficult for flights, so he probably wouldn't be able to attend her graduation. Although her father had attended last year's LSE undergraduate graduation, he was still a little sad not to be there for this master's ceremony.

"Selene, can you help me get a mirror? My makeup looks a little smudged and I need to touch it up quickly!" Blaise looked at her expectantly and took out a Victorian-style mirror with dark blue enamel on the back from his bag.

When her friend, who was about to separate after graduation, asked her for help, Fu Ziyan temporarily put aside her depression and curled her lips: "Okay, your lipstick is a little light..."

"Yeah, Violetta just gave me a bottle of her company's new drink. It tastes pretty good, but she took my lipstick with her," Blaise shared happily. "Just wait, she'll definitely give you one too. I think she's treating the graduation ceremony like a new product appreciation event for her company."

"That's a good use of time."

As they were talking, Violetta came over with a bottle of drink: "Selene, come and try our company's new product, it tastes great~"

Blaise shrugged, giving her a look that said, "See, I'm telling you."

While we were chatting and laughing, other classmates gathered together. With graduation approaching, everyone always had endless things to talk about.

The laughter and joyful conversation with friends gradually diluted the sadness of her father's inability to attend, but it was mainly because things had come to this point and Fu Ziyan could only accept the fact.

Fu Ziyan thought angrily that after returning home, she would definitely use this opportunity to blackmail her father!
