Chapter 654
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. Everyone has their own strengths. What works for me might not work for you guys p>
Mira addressed the group of guys directly.
“But how will we know if we don’t try? We trust Harvey’s judgment p>
Wyatt said.
She had given them fair warning. Whatever they decided was on them.
“If you can get Mira to join, you definitely won’t regret it,” Harvey told the club president.
Harvey said to the club president.
“I’m well aware. Mira is practically known as a trading prodigy. She’s already made a real name for herself in this field p>
“I’m Quentin Reed, a junior in the Finance Department, and the president of this society.
A few classmates and I founded this organization just three years ago. We’re still pretty small, with only a few dozen members right now p>
“That’s seriously impressive, starting your own organization as freshmen p>
Mira couldn’t help but sound genuinely impressed.
“It’s nothing crazy. We’re all in the same major, and we just wanted a space to collaborate and sharpen our skills.
I’m sure you could easily launch your own society if you wanted to p>
He was humble but clearly driven. Mira realized that Aethelgard University was truly overflowing with exceptional talent.
“Our main focus is the intersection of tech, finance, and the broader economic sector.
While we call it research, the heavy-duty academic studies are mostly handled by the grad students and Ph.D. candidates.
What we do is harness youthful innovation. Whether it’s quantitative modeling, live trading, or digital currency, anyone can pitch an idea for us to analyze.
In reality, we value bold, out-of-the-box thinking combined with practical, actionable execution.
We primarily recruit from the finance, mathematics, and computer science departments p>
Mira nodded thoughtfully. “I’m with Solflare Entertainment, and I do a lot more than just perform. Did you know that p>
Quentin smiled and nodded. “I do.
To be completely honest, I’m usually
pretty
anyogant, and I rarely admire
But you’re one of the very
few people I genuinely respect.
You have incredible artistic talent and are already a famous star, but you didn’t let
that limit you.
You’re still pushing yourself academically, diving into the fields you’re truly passionate about, and dominating them p>
Mira didn’t want to show all her
cards just yet, but she wanted to make her position clear. “You probably know that Solflare Group is running money market funds and a few advanced investment portfoltos, and we’ve been highly successful.
That kind of operation requires deep knowledge of digital currency, network infrastructure, and advanced tech.
If this society develops any solid research or viable trading models, I can test them internally at our financial firm.
If the models work, I’ll make sure everyone is compensated handsomely p>
“Thank you for the support p>
“Since you’re a junior, Quentin, are
you to go to grad school or head to the industry after graduation p>
“I’ll definitely get my master’s. An undergraduate degree just doesn’t carry enough weight anymore.
As for a Ph.D., unless I want to stay in academia, I don’t see the point. I’d rather learn through real-world application p>
“If you’re interested in joining Solflare Group after you graduate, I can personally refer you.
You probably already know that our compensation packages are completely unmatched in the industry p>
This guy clearly had what it took, and Mira couldn’t resist extending an early olive branch.
“I appreciate the offer. I’ll definitely keep it in mind p>
The rest of the process was simple: they just had to fill out the registration forms with their skill sets.
They jotted down their specific strengths and areas of interest, and that was that.
In reality, the society was mostly just a space for new college students to dive deeper into their passions, nothing more.
