Just like always, Ding Yue leaves the Elegant Garden Apartment in the morning to have breakfast in the second cafeteria, and then starts his work in his own office.
"When will student Wen Ruohan and Director Chen Ping come over?"
Ding Yue relaxes in his office with a cup of tea made by Big White the robot.
"They should be coming soon." Wen Ruohan answers.
Today, Ding Yue needs to give some orders about the construction of the school and then he will leave for Yancheng to attend the "NTS Awards Gala" tomorrow.
The NTS Awards Gala is scheduled to be held on November 5th, which is tomorrow. Since it will be broadcast live on the first channel of NTS at 8 pm, Ding Yue thinks his schedule should be fine.
Now the reason he needs to call Chen Ping, the director of the school of architecture, is because Ding Yue has assignments for him.
After the visits of Qinghua University and Yancheng University to his Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue realizes that there are quite a few technology research and development projects in progress.
For example, their projects include photolithography machine, artificial intelligence robot, and using a machine to produce graphene by mechanical exfoliation process.
Ding Yue came up with an idea that they could build a scientific research base within the Mist City Arts and Science University and concentrate the main experimental projects there to provide a better research environment.
Ding Xiaoyou, his sister, has already established an energy and chemical research base, the surrounding area of which has not been developed yet. So Ding Yue thinks, why not build a campus science and research base using that as the center?
Ding Yue decides to leave this project to the architecture department. Therefore, he calls Director Chen Ping to explain the idea today and assigns the project to him.
"Principal Ding, how many people are going to Yancheng tomorrow? We should identify them as soon as possible so I can book hotel rooms and the flight," Wen Ruohan turns to Ding Yue with curiosity.
"Let me count, it’s me, you, Director Zhu Youzhao, as well as the production team of ’A Bite of Xia Country.’ We’ll bring two students from it, and Director Zhu Youzhao will choose them."
Ding Yue calculates quickly.
The main purpose of this trip to Yancheng is to attend the NTS Awards Gala. They do not know yet whether they will win an award, thus it is not suitable to bring too many people.
After giving it a good thought, Ding Yue decides that himself, his secretary Wen Ruohan, along with a few members from film and television college should be enough.
"Okay, Principal Ding," says Wen Ruohan, taking out her mobile phone and starting to contact Director Zhu Youzhao of the film and television college.
Director Zhu Youzhao is asked to quickly determine the two students who will join them, and Wen Ruohan can also do her job as a secretary.
After a while, Wen Ruohan asks another question, "By the way, Principal Ding, I met Lin Zhirou last time. When does her song ’Blue and White Porcelain’ get officially released?"
Ding Yue snaps his fingers and says, "I would have forgotten if you had not mentioned."
Ding Yue has written three songs for Wen Ruohan, which are "Confession Balloon," "Fragrance of Rice," and "Blue and White Porcelain."
The first two have already been released and they are quite the hit. The revenue is also very good. Now Lin Zhirou is the most popular talent under Feiyue Media.
"Call An Yujia with Lin Zhirou to come over after I finish my conversation with Director Chen Ping,"
Ding Yue considers that it is November now and it’s about time to release "Blue and White Porcelain."
Because from the very beginning, Ding Yue’s plan was to maintain Lin Zhirou’s popularity for this whole year with these three songs.
"Confession Balloon" was released on May 20, a special day, "Fragrance of Rice" was released during the summer vacation. Now that it is already November, the end of the year is almost here, and so it’s about time to release the last song. Moreover, "Blue and White Porcelain" is the most anticipated song from the netizens.
As soon as Wen Ruohan’s words fall, a few knocks sound from the office door.
The person who enters is Director Chen Ping from the school of architecture.
"Principal Ding," after stepping into the office, Chen Ping comes in front of Ding Yue and asks, "You wanted to see me?"
The school of architecture is one of the key sectors to be developed in Mist City Arts and Science University. Chen Ping was entrusted by Ding Yue with the responsibility of the first and second expansion projects of Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Have a seat," Ding Yue gives a slight nod and then says, "About this, in our second expansion project of our school, some buildings like teaching buildings and dormitory buildings need to be constructed. Some of them have been started and some are still in the planning stage. Now we have a situation, the school plans to build a research base centering around the existing energy and chemical research base. What do you think?"
Ding Yue openly shares his ideas with Chen Ping.
As for the campus expansion planning, Chen Ping is definitely more professional.
"The energy and chemical research base is located to the northwest of the Book Ship Library, which is to the left side of the central school park. Further to the left is the planning area for the new teaching buildings. But there are ample spaces at the north and south sides of that land, we can try to plan that into the research base that you want, Principal Ding."
