"Principal Ding, every time I come to Mist City Arts and Science University, I can feel a strong learning atmosphere. Honestly, this kind of atmosphere is hard to find in other college campuses."
Director Xiao Wenxing sipped his tea while sharing his impressions of Mist City Arts and Science University with Ding Yue.
This was not Xiao Wenxing’s first visit to Mist City Arts and Science University.
Just like he said, every time he came to Mist City Arts and Science University, he could feel the great learning atmosphere radiating from its students.
Ding Yue asked humbly.
"On my way to the Administration Building, I saw students walking around the campus, all of them still holding books."
Xiao Wenxing said with a laugh.
"That’s pretty diligent." Ding Yue felt quite pleased when Director Xiao Wenxing praised the learning atmosphere at Mist City Arts and Science University, but he tried not to show it.
The students of Mist City Arts and Science University love learning so much because of the "magic" that Ding Yue has infused into the campus.
"Oh, I heard that you recently invited a foreign professor to participate in a project at Mist City Arts and Science University?"
Director Xiao Wenxing suddenly asked.
Speaking of which, Director Xiao is pretty well-informed. He even knows about Professor Yang Kaining returning to China to participate in the biomedical engineering project at Mist City Arts and Science University?
Ding Yue nodded and responded, "That’s right Director Xiao. I personally visited the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and invited an internationally renowned professor of biological science to join a biomedical research project at our university."
"Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, that’s one of the top universities in the world." Xiao Wenxing said, expressing his astonishment.
A moment later, Xiao Wenxing encouraged Ding Yue, "You guys at Mist City Arts and Science University should keep doing a good job. Bring out more results. This way not only our Education Bureau of Mist City, but even the official education department will pay close attention to you."
The implications of Director Xiao Wenxing’s words meant that the future development of Mist City Arts and Science University was very promising.
"Hehe, definitely. We won’t disappoint you, Director Xiao." Ding Yue responded with a confident yet humble smile.
Xiao Wenxing felt that Ding Yue had become much more mature over the past few years.
Although his face still bore traces of youth, his overall demeanor and speech were quite composed.
If it were another young principal with his achievements, there would certainly be some degree of pride and complacency.
But Ding Yue was different. He was confident in the future development of Mist City Arts and Science University, modest about past achievements, and always humble in his speech.
Xiao Wenxing felt that such a person could achieve great things.
"What project are you studying with the professor from the Zurich Federal Institute of Technology? Is there anything you need help with?"
Xiao Wenxing asked with concern.
"It’s a biomedical engineering project about a 3D biological printer. Do you remember Principal Xu Dongcheng from Westlight University when we attended the National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference last time?"
Seeing that Director Xiao was quite curious, Ding Yue decided to briefly talk about it while making sure not to reveal any key information.
In fact, even if he told Director Xiao, it wouldn’t really matter.
Because Director Xiao was just kindly offering to see if he could help out Mist City Arts and Science University in any way.
The Director of the Education Bureau was genuinely a good person, truly intent on helping Mist City Arts and Science University, a school that had just been established for a few years.
"Of course I remember Xu. When it comes to private education in our country, he is indeed a very successful figure."
Xiao Wenxing spoke highly of Xu Dongcheng.
Indeed, Xu Dongcheng’s Westlight University and the Westlight Education Group had a good reputation domestically.
While many people run private universities for the sake of profit, Xu Dongcheng was different. He was truly dedicated to private education.
Over the years, his efforts have made Westlight University one of the prominent private universities in the country.
"Principal Xu invested one hundred million yuan in our project." Ding Yue replied with a light smile.
"Oh? Why? Does Principal Xu think highly of your project?" Xiao Wenxing asked curiously with a slight frown on his face.
At the last National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference, Xiao Wenxing observed that Ding Yue and Principal Xu Dongcheng seemed to get along quite well after their introduction. However, he did not expect that shortly after the conference, Principal Xu would already invest one hundred million yuan in a project at Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University!
One must say, the speed at which this relationship heated up was almost too fast.
"Well, it’s not because of that. It’s because of Principal Xu’s daughter." Ding Yue shook his head and continued, "Director Xiao, this is what happened. Principal Xu has a daughter who just reached adulthood, and she has liver disease requiring a transplant. Principal Xu has spent countless energy and money for a long time, but it has been very difficult to find a compatible liver source for his daughter."
"Really? I didn’t know that," Xiao Wenxing switched gears, riveted by the story of Principal Xu’s daughter. He began to feel a little sorry for Principal Xu.
