Despite my feelings, Tian Xinxin's mention of financial experts really piqued my interest. I couldn't help but ask her, "Xinxin, can you tell me more about them? Will I have the opportunity to receive guidance from these experts?"
Seeing my enthusiasm, she asked me, "That depends on which direction you're more interested in: the macro-development of the financial industry, or the specific innovations in banking?"
Without hesitation, I said, "I'm interested in all of them. What resources do you have? Tell me more, the better. It's so hard to go abroad, and I have to come back with a lot of things to make it worthwhile."
She smiled and continued, "Professor Stuart Hyde of Manchester University has made outstanding research in international finance, especially in the financial development of emerging market countries. He is also the deputy editor-in-chief of the Review of International Financial Analysis."
I nodded. "Great. Anything else?"
She continued, "There's also Professor Liu at Manchester University. He's Chinese and his research interests include theoretical asset pricing, macro-finance, portfolio finance, and quantitative analysis. He has unique insights."
She introduced several experts in this area one after another, and finally said, "Uncle Guan, since you really want to communicate with them, I will contact them first. I may not be able to invite all of them, but I will do my best to arrange it."
I smiled and said, "Even if I can listen to the advice of any one of them, I'll be lucky. Xinxin, you're amazing. You're doing so well here and have such a wide network of contacts."
She smiled slightly and said, "Making more friends means opening up more paths. Isn't this a universal truth?"
By this time, the car had already turned several times and left the highway, heading towards the University of Birmingham. I said, "Don't you have friends to meet? No need to send me off. I'll have Li Cheng pick me up."
She pursed her lips and smiled. "There's no such thing as a best friend to meet. I just made up an excuse. I just wanted to talk to you alone. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to relax around Sister Xu."
I couldn't help but laugh and shook my head, "You little devil, you have so many ideas."
I asked, "Xinxin, from your perspective, what do you think of Xu Tong?"
She almost blurted out: "She does have some limitations, but there are reasons behind her actions. It's more like a woman protecting herself under pressure."
I smiled and continued, "So, the culprit is me?"
The corners of her mouth curled up, and her tone was light. "You said that yourself, how could I dare say that?" She laughed out loud. "Uncle Guan, how a person behaves and acts is actually determined by their cognition and personality. I talked to Sister Xu before. Her original family didn't give her enough care and love, and she has always lacked a sense of security deep down. So you don't have to blame yourself too much - at most, I just pushed her. In short, for her, money is the only thing she will rely on and will never betray."
I said with a touch of emotion, "Xinxin, I'm really impressed by you. I didn't expect your analysis to be so thorough."
She continued to smile, her tone warm but serious, "Uncle Guan, please don't praise me. Speaking of insight, I really want to give you a little advice."
I raised my eyebrows: "Oh? Are you going to be my emotional mentor?"
She quickly shook her head. "I'm not a know-it-all. Besides, what I want to talk about has nothing to do with love."
I couldn't help but be intrigued: "Then I really need to listen carefully."
She smiled slightly, but her tone became serious: "Have you heard of 'blockchain'?"
