In the Principal’s office at the Administration Building.
Zhu Fei was stunned, wondering how Liu Yue knew that Principal Ding had called them over to discuss the establishment of the Feiyue Group’s logistics department?
Liu Yue claimed it was a wild guess.
And it appeared he hit the nail on the head, correctly guessing why the logistics department was being set up.
Because the school had officially started production of the medical health robot, Big White, as of today.
For a considerable period in the future, the robot will be supplied to various hospitals across the nation, which requires logistic support.
Students at Mist City Arts and Science University are aware. As a private institution, the university is backed by Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group.
With its vast scope, Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group provides opportunities for students - even those yet to graduate - to find a job related to their major.
Graduates from the mechanical engineering department, in particular, had reportedly signed employment contracts with the Feiyue Group.
Some students from animation design and production had joined the Feiyue Animation Studio and participated in the production of the animated film "Super Combat Team".
This was clearly a paid gig!
Therefore, Zhu Fei and Liu Yue wondered if an opportunity in their field of logistics management had come their way?
Considering the many logistics management questions Principal Ding asked, it seemed so.
If Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group really intended to establish a logistics department, Zhu Fei and Liu Yue felt they might be in the running.
After Ding Yue posed several questions, he found that Zhu Fei and Liu Yue had solid expertise in logistics management.
On top of their foundational knowledge in engineering, they were familiar with regulatory laws and possessed a solid understanding of modern logistics management theory. They were skilled in applying information system techniques and methods with strong capabilities in logistics management, planning, and design.
Their credentials made them promising candidates for high-level modern logistics management positions.
They evidently needed an opportunity for practical operations, which Ding Yue was ready to offer them.
This was the chance to establish a logistics department for the Feiyue Group.
Ding Yue glanced at An Yujia. She gave Ding Yue a look that meant "OK", indicating her approval of Zhu Fei and Liu Yue’s performances.
"Mr. Zhu Fei, Mr. Liu Yue, it seems you’ve learnt a lot in the past year. No wonder you’re the finest students in your Logistics Management program. Have you received your scholarships for last year?" Ding Yue asked Zhu Fei and Liu Yue, grinning.
Mentioning the names Zhu Fei and Liu Yue, Ding Yue realized the coincidence - the new logistic department he’s planning to set up was called Feiyue Logistics.
And their names combined form the pronunciation ’Fei Yue’!
The resemblance amused him.
"Yes, I received the school scholarship!" Zhu Fei nodded.
Liu Yue also nodded immediately: "I received it, too."
At Mist City Arts and Science University, only the students with the best academic performance could receive the scholarship.
Indeed, in this private university initially filled with underperforming students, only the most diligent who emerged as remarkable could be awarded a hefty scholarship.
However, the scholarship might be withheld from excellent students who have violated school regulations during the school year. Ding Yue believes that a scholarship should be based on both outstanding academic and personal conduct. An academically brilliant student with poor moral character might pose a danger to society in the future if they were groomed.
However, only a few students at Mist City Arts and Science University had been disciplined over the school year, so there weren’t any excellent students who broke the rules.
"Alright, since both of you are top students in logistics management, the principal will grant you two an opportunity for growth."
Upon hearing Principal Ding’s words, Zhu Fei and Liu Yue were ecstatic.
Even Director Chen Tao from the School of Management shared their excitement. After all, this was the first time the School of Management was given an opportunity and a promising outlook by Principal Ding.
Chen Tao understood that whatever resources the departments of arts, film and television, mechanical engineering, architecture, computer science, law, and medicine got, it was all because Principal Ding had seen potential in them, allowing them to become leading departments at Mist City Arts and Science University.
In order to develop, each department at a private university would certainly need the board’s support!
Departments that Principal Ding was willing to foster, like mechanical engineering and computer science, had recruited many freshmen that year, and their education funds would most likely rank first in the years to come.
Therefore, Director Chen Tao looked forward to some attention and consideration from Principal Ding.
While the achievements of the School of Management may not compare with those from the departments of mechanical engineering, computer science, and medicine, if they successfully establish the Feiyue Group’s logistics department as instructed by Principal Ding, he may be pleased enough to allocate more funds to the School of Management in the future.
