"Exactly, exactly."

Director Xiong Yang nodded and then handed a preliminary New Year’s Eve Gala performance schedule to Principal Ding: "Principal Ding, this is the tentative schedule for the New Year’s Eve Gala. Would you take a look?"

Ding Yue took the performance schedule from Director Xiong Yang’s hand and started to look it over seriously.

Such matters related to the reputation and opinion of big events hosted by Mist City Arts and Science University were certainly to be taken seriously by Ding Yue.

Consider this.

Last year’s New Year’s Eve Gala was very successful, and if this year’s falls flat, wouldn’t there be voices rhythmically lambasting Mist City Arts and Science University, saying it’s starting to slack off or something?

"Hmm, the programs for this year, although they don’t possess spectacular innovations, actually represent the characteristics of our Mist City Arts and Science University."

After looking over the performance schedule for the New Year’s Eve Gala, Ding Yue felt that there was nothing particularly outstanding.

"Does that mean it’s a bit too mediocre?"

Director Xiong Yang asked directly.

"Sort of... That’s pretty much what I mean," Ding Yue nodded slightly and said: "The main issue is that it lacks any real surprises."

"Surprises..."

Director Xiong Yang touched his chin, deep in thought.

Director Xiong Yang was now placing great importance on the New Year’s Eve Gala, as not managing it well would disappoint and fail the foundational reputation built up by Mist City Arts and Science University last year.

"The main issue is, considering our university’s situation, last year’s New Year’s Eve Gala indeed had too many big hits."

Director Xiong Yang began to analyze.

"That is true, for this year... how about releasing some new songs or something?"

Ding Yue also pondered the idea.

If it’s difficult to be innovative in other aspects, then the safest method would be to have several singers from Mist City Arts and Science University release new songs.

Indeed, debuting new songs at the New Year’s Eve Gala would definitely build up the audience’s anticipation.

Of course, the premise is that the new songs must be of high quality, at least they must be top-notch.

"Principal Ding, that’s indeed a good idea. However... this year, student Lin Zhirou and her peers haven’t prepared many new songs," Director Xiong Yang said with a sense of helplessness.

Regarding Lin Zhirou, as a rising star singer from Mist City Arts and Science University, this year she only released one song in the first half of the year, maintaining her popularity. Other singers, even though their presence has been steadily increasing, don’t have plans to release new songs in the second half of the year or at year-end.

"That’s not a problem, they are all very talented."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue smiled indifferently and then pulled open his office drawer: "Luckily, this year my composer friends have created quite a few pieces."

Here we go again!

Ding Yue was pulling out his mysterious friend once more.

Prior songs of Lin Zhirou and others were all created by Ding Yue’s mysterious friend, and naturally, it was the same this time.

"Oh, that’s really wonderful. As long as we have excellent pieces, I believe Lin Zhirou and the others will certainly bring surprises to the audience," Director Xiong Yang said, excitedly upon hearing this.

"There’s still time before the New Year’s Eve Gala, so let them start preparing."

Ding Yue handed several music composition manuscripts to Director Xiong Yang.

The next steps, Ding Yue didn’t need to lay out, as Director Xiong Yang already understood.

That is, to immediately take these manuscripts to Miss An Yujia, and under her coordination, start prepping Feiyue Media’s artists like Lin Zhirou, Jia Wenbo, and others to work on these new songs.

As for what these new songs are, Director Xiong Yang, not being a music professional, didn’t open them to check, but he trusted the friend of Principal Ding, the creator.

After all, a creator who has crafted a masterpiece like "Blue and White Porcelain" can’t be that far off the mark, right?

"Additionally, I have another idea that I want to run by you, Director Xiong Yang, to see if it’s feasible," Ding Yue said.

Ding Yue suddenly thought of something and said to Director Xiong Yang with a smile.

"Principal Ding, what are you thinking?"

Director Xiong Yang asked eagerly.

The whims of Principal Ding might be indeed quite good.

"This year, our Mist City Arts and Science University has developed a 5nm lithography machine, so think about it, leveraging this topic, could we create a skit for the Gala?"

Ding Yue suggested.

After all, for Mist City Arts and Science University, the greatest achievement this year is, without a doubt, the development of 5nm lithography machine technology!

"Naturally, that’s no problem at all, and I think it’s very necessary," Director Xiong Yang immediately nodded and said: "It’s our glory at Mist City Arts and Science University. Besides, Principal Ding, I think we can take this opportunity to satirize those foreigners in our skit."

"Hahaha, that would be great."

Ding Yue laughed and said.

"Also, starting from this year, Mist City Arts and Science University is planning a Metaverse Plan. Now that we have the 5nm chips, we have the opportunity to officially develop the Metaverse, so let’s take advantage of this year’s New Year’s Eve Gala to do a program about the Metaverse."

Ding Yue suggested again.

It’s time to announce Mist City Arts and Science University’s venture into the Metaverse field, let the whole country, and even the whole world know that the Metaverse isn’t just for big corporations like Google, Facebook, and Penguin. Most importantly, Mist City Arts and Science University will certainly do it better than them!

"A program related to the Metaverse, very well, Principal Ding."

Director Xiong Yang quickly noted down Principal Ding’s "suggestion."

The suggestions of Principal Ding were tantamount to being carried out. After all, somewhere in Director Xiong Yang’s mind was the latent awareness that Mist City Arts and Science University belonged to Principal Ding. What Principal Ding said goes – of course, as long as it did not violate certain principles.

"Sigh, before you know it, another year has passed."

While discussing the New Year’s Eve Gala with Director Xiong Yang, Ding Yue couldn’t help but express such sentiment.

Year after year, Ding Yue felt that time was flying by, yet it was also very fulfilling.

Especially when he saw his Mist City Arts and Science University getting better every year, the sense of accomplishment was genuinely exhilarating.

"Yes, Principal Ding, although this year is almost over, we will still be united and continue to work hard next year," Director Xiong Yang said very inspiringly.

"Mm-hmm, I am grateful to have you all. You are the foundation of Mist City Arts and Science University."

Ding Yue said with a smile and a nod.

Mist City Arts and Science University cannot do without two groups of people: the students and the faculty and staff.

Every student and every faculty member makes up Mist City Arts and Science University as it is today, making the University’s reputation resonate domestically and even internationally this year.

Two major events this year have completely made the world recognize Mist City Arts and Science University, letting them know that in the far East, such a powerful private institution exists.

The two major events are none other than the grand AI robot competition and the emergence of the 5nm lithography machine technology!

"Principal Ding, to be honest, when I worked elsewhere before, it was hard to have this kind of passion and motivation. Here at Mist City Arts and Science University, I feel full of strength every year, every day, even every second," Director Xiong Yang said excitedly.

In fact, Ding Yue could clearly see it.

Not just Director Xiong Yang, many faculty members at Mist City Arts and Science University felt the same.

The most typical example was Director Qi Chunsheng.

Director Qi Chunsheng, although already at retirement age and could have chosen a comfortable retirement, did not opt to retire. Instead, he chose to continue working at his post, contributing to the educational work of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Why is that?

Believe it is the power of love that truly made them fall in love with Mist City Arts and Science University!
