Chapter 1037: Chapter 564: Using Campus Promotional Videos to Campaign for Votes (Please Subscribe)_2

Due to the large campus area of Mist City Arts and Science University and its comprehensive sports facilities, which are well-established and surrounded by mature supporting services, and the pleasant environment, it is suitable for hosting large-scale sports events and should be quite competitive.

However, the current voting data looks rather dismal.

After checking the official Twitter accounts of Mist City University and Wucheng Sports College again, Ding Yue identified the problem.

It turns out.

Mist City University and Wucheng Sports College had actually started their promotional activities early on.

Now, Mist City Arts and Science University is the only one that hasn’t promoted itself as the potential host for next year’s National University Sports Games, which explains the low number of votes.

Moreover.

Ding Yue estimated that Mist City University and Wucheng Sports College must have already called on their students, as well as alumni, to vote, which is why they already have between ten to 200,000 votes.

Mist City Arts and Science University hasn’t done any promotion yet.

Having only just over 20,000 votes is, therefore, quite normal.

"Big brother, how can you pay no attention to such a big event?" Ding Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at her brother Ding Yue after hearing this.

"How can you say I haven’t been paying attention?"

Ding Yue glared at his sister Ding Xiaoyou and said, "Last time, Director Xiao from the Education Department told me that our Mist City Arts and Science University had been nominated to host next year’s National University Sports Games and to just wait for further news. Then, just waiting, things got busy these past few days."

"Then you should call on students to vote for our school right away."

Ding Xiaoyou said, "We have barely 20,000 votes right now."

"It’s already over 20,000 votes. These must be from netizens who think our Mist City Arts and Science University isn’t bad, so they voted for us."

Ding Yue shrugged and said.

"Over 20,000 votes now?" Ding Xiaoyou saw just over 10,000 votes when she checked this morning, and now it’s already over 20,000.

However, compared to the ten to 200,000 votes of Mist City University and Wucheng Sports College, that number is still too small.

"Hosting the sports event is a good thing for the school, we definitely have to fight for it," said their father Ding Jianjun at the dining table.

At the same time, their mother Zhang Yuping nodded and added, "Yes, our school is so beautifully built, and with so many sports venues, it would be such a waste not to host the games."

"That’s what I think too,"

Ding Yue said with a smile to his parents.

"After breakfast, I’ll have Director Liu from the publicity department announce on Twitter, TikTok, the school’s official website, WeChat, and in student class groups, calling on students to vote."

Ding Yue thought about it; mobilizing the students was definitely necessary.

Plus, the official accounts of Mist City Arts and Science University, like their Twitter, have quite a few followers, so he could also mobilize them to vote for their own university.

But that’s not all.

Ding Yue also planned to have the publicity department create a promotional clip about the sports facilities at Mist City Arts and Science University to post online.

This would let even more netizens learn how suitable Mist City Arts and Science University is for hosting the National University Sports Games, and thus, attract more votes from the general public.

Actually, this online voting organized by the official Wucheng Sports Department isn’t about the number of students at each university, but rather which one the public thinks is more suitable for hosting the National University Sports Games.

If it were about the number of students.

Although the number of enrolled students at Mist City University and Wucheng Sports College definitely doesn’t surpass Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, Mist City Arts and Science University currently has over 80,000 enrolled students, making it the absolute top in Mist City. To have 30,000 to 50,000 students would be a lot for the other universities.

Mist City University, the so-called century-old institution and one of the Double First Class Universities, barely reaches the threshold of 50,000 people when counting undergraduates, postgraduates, and doctoral students.

The number of enrolled students at Wucheng Sports College is even less worth mentioning.

If it were about the number of students, Mist City Arts and Science University would undoubtedly not be able to compete with these two institutions.

They have far, far too many graduates.

Mist City University, after all, has a century of history, and Wucheng Sports College has many years of history too. The alumni from any of those universities combined would suffice to outvote Mist City Arts and Science University, managed by Ding Yue.

But since it was an online vote.

Even if Mist City University, a century-old institution, had numerous alumni, how could their number surpass that of internet users?

So, you see.

Encouraging the students to vote for the school wasn’t actually the key point.

The most crucial thing was to showcase Mist City Arts and Science University to the internet users, to let them know that their university was the most suitable place to host the National University Sports Games.

Therefore.

Ding Yue quickly finished the porridge in his bowl, then ate a deep-fried dough stick and drank a glass of soy milk, filling his stomach. Next, he took out his phone and called Director Liu Hongxia from the Publicity Department.

Now that his secretary Wen Ruohan wasn’t by his side, Ding Yue had to take care of such matters personally.

It wasn’t a big issue.

It was just a matter of these few days; once the National Day Holiday was over, Secretary Wen Ruohan would return.

Ding Yue was still used to issuing orders himself and then having his AI robot Big White or Secretary Wen Ruohan take care of the tasks or notify the relevant parties.

"Hello, Director Liu,"

Ding Yue got through to Director Liu Hongxia and said somewhat apologetically, "I’m sorry to disturb you during the holiday."

After all, today was the first day of the National Day, and most of the school’s staff had already started their holidays. On a statutory holiday, Ding Yue didn’t want to disturb the employees’ time off.

However, the online voting organized by the Wucheng Sports College coincided precisely with these seven days of the National Day Holiday. In order to gain more votes from internet users, Mist City Arts and Science University had to produce a promotional video.

And the Publicity Department was the best place for handling this.

"Principal Ding, that’s not a problem at all. As long as the school needs me for work, just let me know what to do,"

Director Liu Hongxia replied.

If this had been said to ordinary company employees or those in other schools, it would definitely be "reluctant," since who would want to be disturbed by the boss for overtime work during a holiday?

But Liu Hongxia was sincerely earnest.

In everyday affairs, Principal Ding treated every staff member of the school very well in all aspects of compensation and welfare, and he was also a decent person. This influenced the school’s employees to take school matters to heart.

Even though it was the National Day Holiday, Liu Hongxia was willing to do something for the school.

Moreover, if Principal Ding personally reached out to her, it was likely about something particularly important, and she felt it was her undeniable duty to help.

"It’s like this, there’s an important matter. Our school is in the running to host next year’s National University Sports Games. Right now, online voting has started during the National Day period, and the final voting result should determine who will host next year’s games. We need to be proactive about this, right?"

Ding Yue briefly explained the situation to Director Liu Hongxia.

"Mhm, indeed, this is something we really need to strive for,"

Director Liu Hongxia confirmed earnestly.

If the competition for votes succeeded, it would bring tremendous benefits to Mist City Arts and Science University. Seeing the school manage to host next year’s National University Sports Games would make Liu Hongxia very happy as a part of the school.

"So, Principal Ding, shall I have our Publicity Department staff work on the promotion these next few days? What do you think?" Director Liu Hongxia continued.

"Sure, that works for me. I also have an idea. If possible, the school could do an aerial video shoot for a promotional video and then edit and post it online to attract more votes for Mist City Arts and Science University from passersby,"

Ding Yue suggested.

"Alright, Principal Ding, I’ll take care of this. I’m on my way back to the school now,"

Director Liu Hongxia answered seriously.

"Wait, Director Liu, have you gone on a trip or something?" Ding Yue suddenly inquired upon hearing this.

"I just left today, haven’t arrived yet. It won’t take me long to return," Director Liu Hongxia responded.

"Ah, in that case, Director Liu, there’s no need for you to come back. It’s rare to have a holiday and go out for a trip. I’ll organize and handle this matter at the school. You just need to coordinate the Publicity Department side of things and other matters for me. How does that sound?"

After thinking for a while, Ding Yue felt he shouldn’t interrupt someone’s vacation.

Doing such things made him feel a bit like a capitalist.
