Director Xiao Wenxing has indeed achieved many accomplishments during his years at the Mist City Education Department.

The development quality of the universities in Mist City is quite good, with science and technology research, talent cultivation, and other aspects improving by the day. Especially since Mist City Arts and Science University was established in recent years, Director Xiao Wenxing has treasured it like a precious gem, entrusting it with great expectations.

The facts have proved that these past few years Mist City Arts and Science University has not disappointed Director Xiao Wenxing.

They have won many science and technology awards and have cultivated a great number of outstanding talents. They have even won the National Science and Technology Award and have been promoted to a national key university by the state.

All these achievements, although they are the results of the tireless efforts of Mist City Arts and Science University, as the person in charge of managing education in Mist City, Director Xiao Wenxing naturally also has a "share of the credit."

Having such credit, coupled with Director Xiao Wenxing’s successful management of the Mist City Education Department, means there’s a good chance he will be promoted one rank in the next two years. Then, his position will no longer be with the Mist City Education Department, but with a department within the National Education Administration.

"Thank you for your support, Director Xiao. Our current plan at Mist City Arts and Science University is to establish a new campus. However, choosing a location for this new campus is indeed quite difficult. I heard that there is no much land available in our Mist City these past two years, right?"

Ding Yue expressed his gratitude.

"Yes, there is indeed very little land available for educational use."

Director Xiao Wenxing immediately nodded and seriously said, "However, if Principal Ding and your team are planning to establish a new campus, then the Mist City Education Department and Mist City Government building will surely provide strong support. Where are you planning to build the new campus?"

"Having the support from the Education Department and the City Government building would indeed be wonderful. It’s like this: after holding meetings at Mist City Arts and Science University, we decided to plan the establishment of a new campus about ten kilometers to the south of our current campus. The only problem is that there are many factories in that area, which I’m afraid will be quite difficult to deal with."

After saying this, Ding Yue sighed.

"The area south of your school does have many factories. I remember your graphene factory, as well as the new energy vehicle factory, is located in that direction, right?"

Director Xiao Wenxing asked.

"Yes, exactly, that direction,"

Ding Yue immediately responded.

"Hmm... That area is under the development of our Mist City High-tech zone. The factories there are actually on the list to be relocated by the Mist City Government building. Principal Ding, it seems you are quite lucky, haha."

Over the phone, Director Xiao Wenxing laughed heartily.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue was extremely excited and overjoyed.

He had originally thought that negotiating with the many factories there would be very difficult, and even if he requested help from the Mist City Government building, the hope of success seemed slim.

After all, those factories have been established there for a long time, and relocating them would surely not be easy.

Yet now, to his pleasant surprise, they are actually planning to move? And it’s a relocation planned by the Mist City Government building, no less. Since it’s an official project, the progress will surely be smooth.

"Of course, I received this news in July, and I think the implementation will start soon. After all, the development of the High-tech zone is very important to Mist City. Those factories are not high-tech industrial complexes and are quite outdated compared to your graphene factory and new energy vehicle factory, so relocation is inevitable."

Director Xiao Wenxing spoke with great certainty.

"That’s absolutely fantastic," Ding Yue said, overjoyed. "So, does this mean we might have an opportunity to acquire that piece of land?"

"Well, I can’t say for certain."

Director Xiao Wenxing suddenly spoke less definitively.

"Ah?"

Ding Yue was momentarily stunned.

He had just thought they received unexpected good news, but now it seemed not to be so straightforward.

"Principal Ding, after the land is vacated, the original plan was to use it for the development of the High-tech zone. I am only the head of the Education Department and certainly cannot finalize this decision by myself. So, for this matter, we will still need to consult with the Mist City Government building,"

Director Xiao Wenxing explained, "Governor Li will definitely be able to make the final decision."

"Oh, I understand what you mean, Director Xiao,"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue naturally understood.

If the relocation of the factory area is already planned, then it’s not likely that it was prepared specifically for Mist City Arts and Science University, and there must be other plans involved. Therefore, if Mist City Arts and Science University needs this piece of land to establish the South Campus, they will have to approach the Mist City Government building.

Only after the Mist City Government building weighs the options and decides what’s more beneficial for Mist City can they determine whether the land to the south can be acquired.

"I’ll find time to visit Governor Li then,"

Ding Yue thought for a moment and said.

This matter needed to be brought to Governor Li, as such a major issue could only be decided with his direct approval.

"Principal Ding, I have to visit the Mist City Government building this afternoon to meet Governor Li. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll shorten my work report, so you can use the time to discuss this matter with Governor Li?"
