If nothing else worked, Ding Yue could reach out to President Jiang Zhongbo to build a bridge.
"First, let me give President Jiang Zhongbo a call," thought Ding Yue and then said to Wen Ruohan, "Can you go check where Principal Han from Mist City Medical University is at the venue?"
Seeing Principal Ding seemed to perk up again, Wen Ruohan promptly went to carry out his instructions, to find Principal Han of Mist City Medical University.
"Principal Ding, how many key disciplines are you planning to develop at Mist City Arts and Science University?" Xu Dongcheng asked curiously on the side.
Judging by Principal Ding’s attitude, if it’s possible to establish collaborative relations with ’Double First Class’ universities, it definitely means they are planning key developments.
Usually, for a private university to prioritize the development of a department, it has to invest quite a lot of funds.
However, it seemed that Principal Ding was planning to develop more than one or two key programs. Just from this meeting with Ding Yue, Xu Dongcheng could tell that Principal Ding was planning to put significant emphasis on majors such as mechanical engineering, computer science, energy chemistry, and medicine.
"The more, the better, of course."
Ding Yue said with a confident smile, looking at Xu Dongcheng.
Xu Dongcheng unwittingly took a cold breath. He couldn’t help but think that Principal Ding’s ambition was not small.
Seeing the surprise on Principal Xu Dongcheng’s face, Ding Yue added, "Principal Xu, my aim is to make Mist City Arts and Science University the strongest comprehensive private university in the world!"
"That is an impressive goal!" praised Xu Dongcheng, giving a thumb up.
However, Xu Dongcheng actually thought that Ding Yue was just talking big, making a private university into a top comprehensive university in the world, was not easier than landing on Mars!
Well, let’s chalk it up to Principal Ding’s youthful vigor and unrestricted imagination!
Ding Yue perceived that Principal Xu Dongcheng didn’t seem to believe what he had just said.
Who could possibly believe it anyway?
As long as Ding Yue believed, given enough time, and with the help of the system, Mist City Arts and Science University would eventually stand at the peak of the world, becoming the most outstanding comprehensive university in the world!
And it would be private!
After chatting briefly with Principal Xu Dongcheng, Ding Yue picked up the phone and called President Jiang Zhongbo of the Mist City Central Hospital.
Given the current relationship between Ding Yue and President Jiang Zhongbo, asking President Jiang Zhongbo to help bridge some gaps shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?
Moreover, President Jiang Zhongbo had always been very supportive of the development of the Medical School of Mist City Arts and Science University, otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed so many chief doctors of Mist City Central Hospital to collaborate with Mist City Arts and Science University.
Currently, many of the professors of Mist City Arts and Science University Medical School are chief doctors from the Mist City Central Hospital.
"Hello, Principal Ding." Once the call connected, the friendly voice of President Jiang Zhongbo could be heard.
"President Jiang, I got a favor to ask."
Ding Yue was very direct.
Ding Yue knew President Jiang’s character very well as they had worked together before, so Ding Yue knew it was best to be direct when asking a favor.
"Hmm, Principal Ding, tell me about it."
"Here’s the thing, I’m attending the National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference at Mist City University today. In a symposium later, I want to have a chat with Principal Han, to see if the Medical School of our Mist City Arts and Science University can establish a partnership with Mist City Medical University. As I’m not really acquainted with Principal Han, I was thinking if you could..."
Before Ding Yue had finished his sentence, President Jiang laughed and said, "Ha ha ha, this is a good thing. We still lack many medical talents in our country, and I think the Medical School of your Mist City Arts and Science University can train quite good medical personnel. Establishing a partnership with Mist City Medical University is a good thing."
Upon hearing President Jiang Zhongbo’s words, Ding Yue felt more reassured.
Indeed, President Jiang Zhongbo was a very warm-hearted "wise man", which made Ding Yue feel that of all the people he had met since becoming Principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, President Jiang Zhongbo was the best one to deal with.
"Principal Han of Mist City Medical University was my college classmate. I will tell him about your idea right now," said President Jiang Zhongbo over the phone.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue learned something new, "Who would’ve thought that President Jiang Zhongbo and Principal Han of Mist City Medical University were college classmates?"
"Not just classmates, we were roommates in the same dorm."
