introduction
In this fast-paced era, an investment banking internship, a career starting point that is often gilded with a golden halo, was unexpectedly caught in the eye of the storm of public opinion because of a video.
Not because it reveals the mysteries of the financial world, but because it comes from a self-proclaimed "rich second generation" intern who uses his Porsche and after-hours golf course to weave a staggering show off his wealth.
What's even more ironic is that the climax of this scene is that he inadvertently opened a mysterious corner of the internal project of China Securities and staged a play "Stupid enough to leak secrets, cheat dad!" A realistic version of the farce.
For a while, there were heated discussions on the Internet, and the people who ate melons watched one after another, how did this turmoil ferment step by step?
The rich second-generation intern's behavior of showing off his wealth
On the city street in the early morning light, a Porsche 911 shuttled between high-rise buildings like a cheetah, and finally stopped steadily in front of the building of China Securities Securities.
The car door opened lightly, and it was none other than Xiao Li, the rich second-generation intern who later became a hot spot on the Internet.
He is dressed in a famous brand, and his face is filled with a confident smile of "the world is under control", as if every day is a ruthless crushing of ordinary life.
After work, while most people are still worried about the dinner menu, Xiao Li has changed into casual clothes and drove to the golf course to enjoy his "different" leisure time.
All of this was recorded in his carefully planned video, which was meant to show off, but unexpectedly caused an uproar.
As soon as the video came out, it immediately blew up on the Internet.
Some people ridiculed him for "not knowing how to keep a low profile, and sooner or later he will suffer", some people questioned "when did investment banking work become so idle", and even worse, directly opened "Won't your conscience hurt if you show off your wealth with a high salary?" ”
For a time, in the field of public opinion, criticism and discussion were intertwined, and the behavior of the rich second-generation intern became a hot topic of conversation among the public after dinner.
The severity of the leak of confidentiality
If showing off wealth is just a moral controversy, then Xiao Li's next wave of operations will undoubtedly push himself to the forefront of law and professional ethics.
In a casual social media share, he posted some information about three important projects that China Securities Construction Investment is about to go public, which contain sensitive financial data, market analysis and other key information.
This move is tantamount to giving a "gift package" to competitors.
Discussion of the intern's background
As the incident continued to ferment, Xiao Li's background gradually surfaced.
It turned out that he was not from an ordinary family, but an outstanding graduate of the School of Physical Education of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
This news surprised many netizens, and they all said, "It turns out that he is still a master of both civil and military affairs."
CSC's compliance and risk control issues
In the face of this sudden crisis, CSCI reacted quickly, not only immediately dismissing Xiao Li, but also initiating a comprehensive accountability process to show the public its determination to protect its corporate image and protect the interests of its clients.
However, the incident also exposed CSC's deficiencies in intern management and information confidentiality.
How to strengthen the induction training and daily supervision of interns to prevent similar incidents from happening again has become a difficult problem for enterprises.
Roles and responsibilities of Huazhong University of Science and Technology
As Xiao Li's alma mater, Huazhong University of Science and Technology also quickly expressed its position after the incident, emphasizing that the school has always paid attention to the all-round development of students and professional ethics education, and expressed regret and concern about the incident.
This incident has once again triggered people's thinking about internship education in colleges and universities.
How to strengthen students' professional ethics education and awareness of laws and regulations while imparting professional knowledge has become an urgent problem for colleges and universities.
Intern's self-reflection and apology
In the midst of doubts, Xiao Li finally issued a statement through his personal social media.
He began by clarifying rumors that his identity was false and expressed deep regret for leaking the secrets.
In his letter of apology, he earnestly expressed his misunderstanding and determination to correct it, hoping to gain the public's understanding.
The public's attitude to Xiao Li's apology is mixed.
Some people think that he can change his mistakes, and he is very good; There are also those who believe that his behavior is heinous and should not be easily forgiven.
But in any case, this turmoil has at least made more people pay attention to the professional ethics of interns.
epilogue
"The rich second-generation investment bank intern shoots a video to show off his wealth, and he is stupid enough to leak secrets, what a cheat!"

It is like a mirror that reflects the more important things that we may overlook in our pursuit of material and success—humility, responsibility, and respect.
