Lin Muxue felt like she had wandered into Hogwarts from "Harry Potter."
They walked through several academic buildings.
Eventually, they arrived at an upscale faculty club on the banks of the Thames River.
In a private room with a view of the river within the club.
She met her "mentor," Professor Philip Drummond.
This was a gray-haired, elegantly cultured British gentleman.
Not only was he a lifelong professor at Imperial College Business School, a knight bestowed by the Queen, but also a former economic consultant to the British Treasury.
The meeting wasn't as serious as imagined.
Professor Drummond, like a kindly elder, personally poured her a cup of Ceylon tea.
Chatting with her about London's changeable weather, the latest art exhibitions at the Tate Gallery, and some intriguing anecdotes from within the luxury industry.
Obviously, the school had already detailed all her background information and personal preferences to the professor in advance.
