"Xiao You, among the people coming from Xia Science Institution, there are some academicians who are experts in graphene. We might as well perform some tests while they are here, and let them take a look at your new results."
Ding Yue considered for a moment. They have an entire day, so there should be plenty of time for his sister Ding Xiaoyu to conduct the graphene solar panel test.
Ding Xiaoyou just lightly nodded her head, not saying anything else.
"Principal Ding, Assistant Xiao Li said that Deputy Director Zhou and his team have already arrived at University Town. They should be here in a few minutes."
Secretary Wen Ruohan immediately reported the situation to Principal Ding.
Ding Yue nodded his head, then took two steps forward, turned around and said to everyone present: "Everyone, get ready to welcome Deputy Director Zhou from the Xia Country Academy of Sciences."
Upon hearing Principal Ding’s command, everyone was ready and waiting.
A few minutes later, a black sedan slowly drove towards the gate of Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Why is there only one car? Didn’t they say that Deputy Director Zhou brought two academicians and Director Lin from the National Patent Office? They also have assistants with them, why only one car?"
Upon seeing the black sedan driving in, Huang Youjie was puzzled.
"Huang, take a closer look, this is clearly Director Xiao’s car!" Xu Bin said, knocking on Huang Youjie’s head.
Huang was speechless.
At first glance, Ding Yue thought that it was Deputy Director Zhou’s car, but upon a detailed look, he recognized the car. It was Director Xiao Wenxing’s exclusive vehicle from the Education Bureau.
Since today’s visit of Deputy Director Zhou of the Xia Country Academy of Sciences to the Mist City Arts and Science University is not a small matter, Director Xiao Wenxing also rushed over. After all, Mist City Arts and Science University is a private university under his jurisdiction.
"Director Xiao, you’re here."
Ding Yue went to the vehicle and welcomed Director Xiao Wenxing.
"I’m not late, am I? Has Deputy Director Zhou of Xia Science Institution arrived?" Xiao Wenxing asked immediately after getting out of the car.
Having visited Mist City Arts and Science University several times before, Xiao Wenxing had become quite familiar with the place and was not that formal with Principal Ding anymore.
"Not yet, but they should be arriving soon... Look, it must be Deputy Director Zhou’s convoy coming."
Before Ding Yue could finish his words, he saw vehicles slowly coming from the area behind the trees.
This time, there’s no doubt about it.
Director Xiao Wenxing, following the direction that Ding Yue was pointing, saw three vehicles slowly coming - one white and two black, one of which was an SUV.
This grand procession of three vehicles was surely the people from Xia Science Institution and the National Patent Office.
Immediately, Ding Yue and Director Xiao Wenxing walked forward together.
The three vehicles slowly came to a stop in front of the small square at the entrance of Mist City Arts and Science University.
Every individual getting out of the car, around fifty years old, were all high-level figures in Xia Country.
Ding Yue quickly recognized the man stepping out of the white sedan as Deputy Director Zhou Sicheng of Xia Country Academy of Sciences.
Though it was the first time Ding Yue had met Deputy Director Zhou Sicheng, he had already done his research on him and seen his pictures online. As long as one was not face-blind, they would easily recognize him.
Deputy Director Zhou Sicheng, upon seeing the very young man in front of him, was taken aback for a moment.
He knew that the head of Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue, was a young man, but he hadn’t expected him to be so young and good-looking.
"Principal Ding, right?"
Deputy Director Zhou Sicheng smiled and asked.
According to what he had heard, Principal Ding was a genius in Physics, currently a postgraduate student in Physics at Qinghua University, and was also an honorary researcher of the Semiconductor Materials Research Institute under Xia Country Academy of Sciences, so he too had a connection with the Academy.
"Dean Zhou, I’ve been waiting eagerly for you." Ding Yue extended his hand enthusiastically, shaking hands with Deputy Director Zhou.
Despite being a deputy director, the position was at vice-provincial level, so Ding Yue naturally had to show some respect.
"Dean Zhou, Director Lin, welcome to Mist City." Director Xiao Wenxing also stepped forward, greeting Deputy Director Zhou and Director Lin.
Lin Jiming didn’t recognize Xiao Wenxing, and asked curiously.
After all, one was from the National Patent Office, and the other from the local education bureau of Mist City, so they didn’t exactly cross paths. Therefore, not recognizing each other was quite normal.
"This is Director Xiao of our Mist City Education Bureau." Ding Yue quickly introduced him.
"So you’re Director Xiao." Lin Jiming, upon learning of Xiao Wenxing’s identity, stepped forward and shook hands.
All the people present were high-level figures, except Ding Yue, who was simply the head of a private university.
But usually, a head of a private university getting to meet so many high-level figures would be nearly impossible.
Just think what it’s like for a private university president surrounded by the Director of the Education Bureau, the Deputy Director of the Xia Country Academy of Sciences, several academicians, and the Director of the National Patent Office.
Even if the head of Westlight University - one of the top private universities in the country - Xu Dongcheng saw this, he would be so envious that he’d turn green with jealousy.
