Chapter 1147: Chapter 619: The Brave Principal, Not Afraid of Difficulties (Please Subscribe)_2

After all, it was past four in the morning; one could hardly expect teachers and students to go without rest and sleep.

Moreover, the fire had been completely extinguished by now.

"Alright, everyone go and rest, there’s nothing to worry about anymore."

Ding Yue said to the teachers and students living in the apartment building below.

"Principal Ding, what about those four?"

An administrator of the apartment building asked Principal Ding.

The two couples, four students from apartment 2909, stood there looking pitiable, shivering in the cold breeze of the early morning night.

They had recognized their mistake, and the punishment that would follow was up to the Academic Affairs Office to decide. After considering for a moment, Ding Yue realized that it was indeed time to find a place for the four of them.

Although the fire in apartment 2909 had been fully extinguished, it was obviously not suitable for habitation; it required a full inspection and repair before reoccupation was possible.

"Contact the university hotel, arrange for them to stay there as sponsored guests."

Ding Yue instructed.

"Understood, Principal Ding."

"Yue, these students really don’t make things easy," Huang Youjie came to Ding Yue’s side and said with emotion, "According to school regulations and relevant laws, the damage caused by this fire should be compensated by the four of them."

Good gracious, Huang was showing his professional side at this time.

"Indeed, they need to pay compensation, to learn a lesson."

Hearing this, Ding Yue nodded in agreement.

The school’s punishments, combined with their compensation, were hoped to make these four students grow up more responsibly.

"Alright, go to sleep, I’m so tired."

Xu Bin said and then headed inside the apartment building.

"Sleep."

Ding Yue was also very sleepy. After all, he had been woken up by Big White around three in the morning, almost four, and he was already very tired. Then he had gotten involved in fighting a fire, and now he could hardly keep his eyes open.

Consequently, Ding Yue and the others returned to their respective rooms in the apartment building to continue sleeping.

Before going to sleep, Ding Yue sent a message to his secretary, Wen Ruohan. He had just remembered that the events of the early morning would quickly spread throughout the university. In order to prevent various rumors, Ding Yue thought that by daybreak, he should have the university’s publicity department issue an announcement to inform all faculty and students about the night’s events.

Since Ding Yue was definitely going to sleep until he woke naturally, he had his secretary Wen Ruohan contact the publicity department to issue the announcement after she woke up.

The sudden fire incident had certainly put the apartment building’s management staff on high alert, fearing another emergency.

Fortunately, the night passed peacefully.

After daylight, Ding Yue was still sleeping.

After all, a person’s sleep duration should be at least eight hours.

Moreover, like Ding Yue, who often slept until he woke naturally for nine or even ten hours, he had not yet gotten up at this time.

However, Secretary Wen Ruohan was already up. Following Principal Ding’s instructions, she contacted Director Liu Hongxia of the university’s publicity department and relayed the incident of the fire that had occurred in the early hours.

About half an hour later, around nine in the morning, the official website and public account of Mist City Arts and Science University, as well as the official accounts on various platforms, issued the related announcement.

The various pieces of information that had been circulating from the early morning finally became unified at this time.

It turned out that it wasn’t Principal Ding’s apartment that had caught fire, nor was Principal Ding trapped in the blaze.

Instead, it was apartment 2909 that caught fire. The cause was attributed to improper use of the kitchen by the four residing students. The fire had been completely extinguished, and the follow-up to the incident would be disclosed via the university’s official website, public accounts, and official accounts on various platforms.

Not only that.

The announcement also declared that Mist City Arts and Science University would conduct a one-week fire safety promotion campaign, and all faculty and students should actively participate!

"It seems like our university has already had two fires this year, hasn’t it?"

"It is indeed time to properly conduct some fire safety promotion."

"I heard last night that it was Principal Ding who led the effort to put out the fire."

"Holy smokes! Principal Ding is amazing!"

"Brave principal, unafraid of difficulties, thumbs up!"

"Principal Ding is seriously my idol!"

"Seems like Big White also played a key role."

The hot topic of discussion among the students of Mist City Arts and Science University today wasn’t last night’s ’League of Legends’ S World Championship semifinals where the FY team defeated the European and American GG team to advance to the finals.

Rather, it was the fire that had broken out at the school in the early hours, and how the heroic Principal Ding, together with everyone and Big White, had extinguished the blaze.

All at once, Principal Ding’s image in the minds of all the students, on top of being handsome, a genius, wealthy, and with sky-high charisma, had gained a new aspect.

And that was—bravery!

Last night’s actions had made the students realize a principle, that if anything happened at school, Principal Ding would definitely be the one leading the charge.

Who wouldn’t like such a handsome and brave principal?

Around half-past ten in the morning.

Ding Yue finally woke up.

After getting up, freshening up, and eating the breakfast prepared by his secretary Wen Ruohan, Ding Yue turned his attention to Big White.

After last night’s firefighting battle, Big White’s body was dirty, black mixed with white.

To sum it up in one word—filthy!

There was no helping it; Big White had bravely taken the lead, carrying the firefighting hose, and was the first to charge into the front lines of fighting the fire. Since Ding Yue had been very sleepy in the early hours, he hadn’t been able to clean Big White right away.

Anyway, Big White wasn’t damaged, except for a bit of dirt on the body, perfectly intact.

One had to admit that the new body made of enhanced string ceramic matrix composite material that Big White was using was really great; it hadn’t suffered any damage in the fire at all.

Now that Ding Yue had woken up, he prepared to take Big White to the mechanical engineering department, to have Tong Yihang and the others clean Big White’s body.

This was also considered a professional task, not something as simple as washing a car that just anyone could do, so Ding Yue needed to go to the mechanical engineering department to find Tong Yihang and the others for the job.

"Big White, you’ve almost turned into Big Black now, hahaha, let’s go, I’ll take you for a clean-up."

Ding Yue laughed heartily, summoned Big White, and then left the house.

Just as he stepped out, Ding Yue received a call from Director Cao Guowei of the Academic Affairs office, who was acting as interim director.

"Principal Ding, a team has been sent over from the University Town fire station, saying they’re here to help us with fire safety promotion—about this matter..."

Director Cao had called Principal Ding because he wanted to confirm the situation.

After all, Cao Guowei had just started working today, and the fire brigade had found him, saying they wanted to work with Mist City Arts and Science University for a week to promote fire safety through lectures, practical operations, and more, leaving Cao Guowei entirely confused, with no idea what had happened.

"Yes, I’ve discussed it with Captain Liu of the fire brigade, starting from today, it’ll be a week-long fire safety promotion activity. Director Cao, you must organize all faculty and students to start learning so that fire safety awareness is etched into the minds of all faculty and students!"

Ding Yue earnestly instructed.

"Yes, yes, yes, okay Principal Ding, I will definitely arrange the necessary work."

Director Cao hurriedly responded.

Thankfully it was a week; if it had been just one day, how could Director Cao have managed?

That would mean informing all faculty and students about fire safety promotion—how could you organize that? Surely not by calling over eighty thousand faculty and students to the Central Sports Ground?

With so many people, even if you did promote fire safety, it wouldn’t be that effective.

That certainly wouldn’t work.

And it also couldn’t disrupt regular teaching activities.

But with a week’s time, there wouldn’t be any problem.

Director Cao thought about it and decided he could call up students without classes each day, arranging for the fire brigade to do fire safety promotion for them.

This way, over the course of a week, almost all faculty and students could be covered by the fire safety promotion.
