During the question and answer session, Year One Accounting student, Lin Xinyue, proposed a question about the challenges they might meet in the future in business, and asked for advice on how to deal with these problems. According to Dr Cheng, when students are dealing with problems, they should acquire as much knowledge and related experience as possible to help overcome them. After the question and answer session, the dinner began and a toast by the honoured guests followed.
After the toast, Year One Marketing Management student, Yao Wentao, delivered a speech about his experience and how UIC had changed him.
