Since Governor Li had other matters to attend to, Ding Yue and Director Xiao Wenxing did not keep him any longer.

After Governor Li left for his work, Ding Yue, Director Xiao Wenxing, and Director Liu of the Urban Planning Bureau also left the Mayor’s Office together. During this opportunity, Ding Yue had a chat with Director Liu of the Urban Planning Bureau.

Director Liu was different from Director Xiao Wenxing. Director Xiao Wenxing was the kind of person who wanted to accomplish great things and tried to push the educational sector of Mist City to a new peak.

However, Director Liu was the type who had the ability to work but harbored comparatively modest personal ambitions, he was what’s commonly referred to as the more steady and risk-averse type.

Nevertheless, now that Governor Li had already instructed Director Liu, he expressed that he would definitely do his utmost to support the establishment of a new campus of Mist City Arts and Science University in the southern part of the High-tech zone, as well as assist Feiyue Group in investing 100 billion in the commercial development of the High-tech zone.

With Director Liu involved, whether it’s land allocation or construction, it would certainly go very smoothly; at least in terms of procedures. From now on, Mist City Arts and Science University under Ding Yue would only need to prepare the materials to smoothly obtain approval.

"Then I must thank Director Liu."

"No need to thank me, it’s all part of the job. Goodbye, Principal Ding."

"Goodbye, Director Liu."

After bidding farewell to Director Liu, Ding Yue left the Mist City Government building together with Director Xiao Wenxing.

On the way back, Director Xiao Wenxing even specifically shared a car with Ding Yue, which was the Feiyue Future New Energy car owned by Ding Yue.

"Principal Ding, I didn’t expect our trip to go so smoothly."

Director Xiao Wenxing couldn’t help but express his thoughts.

"It’s thanks to your great support, Director Xiao, and the trust that Mist City Government has in our Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group," said Ding Yue with a smile.

Although there was no need for such politeness with Director Xiao Wenxing, Ding Yue sincerely expressed his gratitude to him.

Over the years, Director Xiao Wenxing had given a lot of support to the significant matters of his Mist City Arts and Science University, making a substantial contribution to the development of his university.

If the contributions made by himself as the principal, other leaders, department heads, professors, lecturers, and other staff members are considered internal contributions, then without a doubt, Director Xiao Wenxing is the greatest external contributor.

Midway, Director Xiao Wenxing had to return to the Education Bureau building, so he parted ways with Ding Yue.

Ding Yue returned to his Mist City Arts and Science University.

When he was almost back at Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue noticed that Wen Ruohan, the secretary in the car, seemed to have been quite "depressed" all along.

Out of curiosity, Ding Yue asked, "What’s wrong, Xiao Wen, you seem a bit gloomy?"

"Principal Ding..."

Wen Ruohan thought for a moment and finally said, "I just feel, Principal Ding, that spending 100 billion to exchange for a piece of land to establish a new campus is too much of a loss."

"Hahaha."

Ding Yue immediately laughed and said, "Come on, let’s hear it, Xiao Wen, why do you think it’s not worth it?"

"One hundred billion just to get a piece of land for a campus, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem worth it," Wen Ruohan mumbled.

"That 100 billion is not just given to the Mist City Government for nothing; it is an investment we make into the commercial development of the High-tech zone. How can it be considered a loss?" Ding Yue said, spreading his hands.

"But it’s still a question whether the High-tech zone can develop as expected, and the returns on investment in the High-tech zone will definitely take a long time."

Wen Ruohan analyzed.

"Whether the High-tech zone can develop or not depends on our Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group, doesn’t it? What, Xiao Wen, do you lack confidence in our university and Feiyue Group?"

Ding Yue said with a smile to his secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Ah, no, I have a lot of confidence in our Mist City Arts and Science University and the Feiyue Group. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like such a loss after all."

Touching her chin, Wen Ruohan seemed to have grasped the implication.

Having understood this point, she realized that Principal Ding’s vision was indeed very far-sighted and unique.

After returning to the Mist City Arts and Science University, the first ones to inquire about the progress were Huang Youjie and Xu Bin.

"How did it go, Yue? You’ve just come back from the Mist City Government building, right? What did they say over there?"

Huang Youjie asked impatiently.

About the new campus establishment, and specifically the North-South Campus Plan, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin were very concerned.

"Guess what."

Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders and said to the two buddies.

"Hmm..."

Huang Youjie stroked his chin, a guessing expression on his face.

At this moment, Xu Bin said with a smile: "Old Huang, looking at Yue’s expression, his mood, do we even need to guess?"

"Hahaha."

Ding Yue immediately burst into laughter: "Bin is the smart one."

"So, Yue, what did the Mist City Government building say?" Huang hurriedly asked.

"Well, it’s basically settled. The Urban Planning Bureau will replan that plot of land to build the Southern Campus for Mist City Arts and Science University. However, our Feiyue Group will also be responsible for the investment in the commercial development around that land."

Ding Yue briefed his two buddies, Xu Bin and Huang Youjie, on the matter.

"That’s really great! In that case, the North-South Campus plan we discussed in the meeting can be implemented smoothly, right? Hahaha!"

Huang Youjie burst into laughter, feeling thrilled for Mist City Arts and Science University.

"That’s good to hear, but Yue, what was that you said earlier? That we still need to take on the investment of the commercial development around that land?"

Suddenly, Xu Bin was conscious of another key point Ding Yue had mentioned.

There were actually two key points in what Yue said earlier: the first core point was undoubtedly securing the land, and the second point was taking on the investment for the commercial development around it.

"Right."

Ding Yue nodded seriously and said: "I promised the Mist City Government building a 100 billion investment within one year."

"Holy shit!"

Huang Youjie exclaimed in shock: "100 billion!"

This figure of 100 billion is astronomical even for "rich people" like Huang Youjie and Xu Bin.

Over the years, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin have worked hard at Mist City Arts and Science University along with Ding Yue, who has also given them a fair "return," but it certainly wouldn’t amount to tens or hundreds of billions. A few billion, perhaps, but 100 billion is still a massive amount for them.

In fact, 100 billion is a very large figure for all the wealthy; even the richest of the rich can’t casually spend 100 billion.

But Ding Yue, that’s just how "willful" he is, directly investing 100 billion.

"It is indeed a lot." Xu Bin analyzed and said: "Although I don’t know how much our Feiyue Group makes, I think this 100 billion is probably all out effort from our Feiyue Group, right?"

"Isn’t this a huge loss?" Huang Youjie frowned: "Just for a new campus that’s a bit closer to this campus, we’re spending 100 billion, my God!"

"Hahaha, it’s not quite like that."

Ding Yue immediately shook his head: "Feiyue Group’s various industries have been very profitable these past two years, and besides, Old Huang, Bin, think about it, after we invest this 100 billion, the region connecting the current campus to the new Southern Campus we’re going to build, as well as the areas it will influence, will become the radiating area of Mist City Arts and Science University, right?"

"Hmm, and what next?"

Xu Bin understood the implications of Yue’s words but wondered what could be achieved after forming a radiating area.

"After the establishment of the Mist City Arts and Science University’s radiating area, the influence of our university in the High-tech zone, and in the entirety of Mist City, even the whole country, will increase substantially. Moreover, it will be more convenient for other developments nearby in the future. Once we have the radiating area of Mist City Arts and Science University, as long as our university continues to develop and thrive, the gains will definitely be beyond imagination."

Ding Yue seriously explained to his two buddies.
