Director Xiao Wenxing suggested.

"Ah, is that possible?"

Ding Yue was somewhat surprised.

What a coincidence indeed.

Since Director Xiao Wenxing is willing to give him a time and opportunity to meet Governor Li, Ding Yue must seize it. Otherwise, with Governor Li being so busy, who knows how long it would take to schedule a meeting.

Meeting Governor Li sooner and discussing the matter would be beneficial for the construction planning of Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Of course."

Director Xiao Wenxing said with a smile: "It’s no problem to make some time for you. As for whether you can convince the Mist City Government building to let go of that land, it’s up to you, Principal Ding."

"Okay, that’s really very kind of you, Director Xiao, thank you so much."

Naturally, Ding Yue took the opportunity and expressed his thanks.

If he didn’t take up Director Xiao Wenxing’s offer after all this, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to Director Xiao Wenxing’s goodwill?

"Hahaha, Principal Ding, you are too polite. To be precise, I should be thanking you. With Mist City Arts and Science University establishing a new campus and enrolling more students, it’s also about promoting the development of our higher education in Mist City."

Director Xiao Wenxing said with a smile: "Moreover, to be honest with you, Principal Ding, the achievements of Mist City Arts and Science University over the years have also made my path to promotion much smoother and greatly supportive."

Ding Yue did not expect Director Xiao Wenxing to be so forthright in his words, and he figured that Director Xiao really had quite an open attitude towards him.

"Do you mean, Director Xiao, you’re going to be promoted?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately understood what Director Xiao Wenxing meant. Thanking Mist City Arts and Science University at this point must be because the educational sector in Mist City had achieved very good results during his tenure, leading to a promotion opportunity.

"If all goes well, it will be in one or two years."

Director Xiao Wenxing said with a smile.

"Hahaha, then I really must congratulate Director Xiao in advance, congratulations!"

Ding Yue said, laughing heartily.

"No no no, it isn’t set in stone yet. Let’s keep it low-key, low-key. So, Principal Ding, shall I wait for you at the Education Department?"

Director Xiao Wenxing said with his voice lowered.

"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll come right over, Director Xiao."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue quickly called his secretary Wen Ruohan. This time, he didn’t even have time to bring Big White, and immediately after leaving the building, he drove his Feiyue Future New Energy car out of Mist City Arts and Science University and headed straight for the Mist City Education Department.

After arriving at the Mist City Education Department, Ding Yue met with Director Xiao Wenxing, and after a sincere exchange of greetings, they headed towards the Mist City Government building.

The exchange between Ding Yue and Director Xiao Wenxing was indeed sincere. Ding Yue genuinely hoped that Director Xiao Wenxing could be promoted, and Director Xiao Wenxing highly anticipated the continued development of Mist City Arts and Science University.

About twenty minutes later, the car carrying Ding Yue and Director Xiao Wenxing arrived at the Mist City Government building.

The traffic in Mist City seemed to be quite good today.

Since this afternoon was the time for Director Xiao Wenxing to report to Governor Li, Director Xiao Wenxing went straight to Governor Li’s office in the Mist City Government building.

Upon seeing Director Xiao Wenxing, Secretary Zhang immediately invited him in and also noticed Principal Ding from Mist City Arts and Science University, but did not ask any further questions.

Since it was time for Director Xiao Wenxing to report to Governor Li on educational work, it was normal to bring Principal Ding along, for Principal Ding was the head of Mist City Arts and Science University, which was under the jurisdiction of the Mist City Education Department.

"Director Xiao, Principal Ding, please come this way."

After Secretary Zhang led Director Xiao Wenxing and Principal Ding into the office, they proceeded to the reception room.

Here, Secretary Zhang made tea for the two and then said, "Director Xiao, Principal Ding, please wait a moment. I think the meeting with Governor Li should be ending soon. After the meeting, Governor Li will be here."

"Alright."

Director Xiao Wenxing and Ding Yue both nodded in agreement.

About five minutes later, Governor Li, holding a thermos cup, walked in from outside the office.

"Director Xiao is here, and Principal Ding too?"

After arriving at the reception room, Governor Li sat on the sofa and placed the thermos cup to the side: "Director Xiao, you didn’t mention that Principal Ding was also coming, did you?"

"Governor Li, I specifically asked Principal Ding to come this time, but he’s not here to report on work-related matters, but rather for something else."

Director Xiao Wenxing replied.

"Alright."

Governor Li nodded and looked at Director Xiao Wenxing and said, "Then start with your report."

"Okay."

Director Xiao Wenxing immediately began to report on the educational affairs of Mist City for this year, a major part of which concerned university enrollment. Naturally, he mentioned Mist City Arts and Science University.

Since the Registrar’s Office of Mist City Arts and Science University submitted the data for the new students they recruited, Director Xiao Wenxing used Mist City Arts and Science University as an example to report on this year’s new student enrollment situation in Mist City.

In fact, this year’s university enrollment situation in Mist City was just as "hot" as at Mist City Arts and Science University, not only there but also at several other key universities in Mist City, such as Mist City University and Mist City University of Science and Technology, which all had good enrollment numbers this year.

"Hmm, seeing the thriving higher education business in Mist City makes me really happy for you all."

After listening to Director Xiao Wenxing’s work report, Governor Li was very pleased and nodded. He then turned to Ding Yue and asked, "Principal Ding, Director Xiao mentioned you have other matters? Let’s hear it?"

Now that there was some time, as Director Xiao Wenxing’s work report had gone smoothly and there was some extra time, it would be good to hear what matter Principal Ding had come for.

"Governor Li, as Director Xiao mentioned, our Mist City Arts and Science University has enrolled many students, and our campuses are practically at full capacity now. But as you know, this is only the fourth cohort for our Mist City Arts and Science University, and there are bound to be even more students in the future. In hindsight, we didn’t plan comprehensively enough. Initially, we estimated for 200,000 students, but the enrollment situation this year really caught us by surprise."

Ding Yue reflected.

"Hahaha, this shows that Mist City Arts and Science University’s teaching work is excellent." Governor Li laughed: "That being said, you must need to expand the campus, right?"

"Governor Li."

At this moment, Director Xiao Wenxing spoke: "After the previous expansion of Mist City Arts and Science University, it has become very difficult to further expand the surrounding area."

"Yes, so we plan to establish a new campus."

Ding Yue immediately followed up on Director Xiao Wenxing’s words as if they were perfectly coordinated.

"Hmm..."

After thinking for a while, Governor Li nodded: "Then indeed, it is time to build a new campus. What’s the matter, Principal Ding, is there a gap in funding? Do you need a loan?"

"Ah, not at all."

Ding Yue immediately shook his head.

"Here’s the thing, Governor Li, it would be difficult for Mist City Arts and Science University to find new land for its campus. When Principal Ding first brought this up with me, it made me think of the relocation of the factory area to the south of the High-tech zone that was planned by Mist City Government’s building here before, remember?"

Director Xiao Wenxing once again gave Principal Ding phenomenally timed support.

After hearing this, Governor Li recalled the matter: "Right, right, there indeed is a relocation plan for a factory, and it’s about to commence soon, isn’t it?"

"It should be."

Director Xiao Wenxing nodded.
