Chapter 1631: Chapter 859: Making Adequate Preparations in Advance_2

In summary, Mist City Arts and Science University has made full preparations this year to welcome at least 100,000 new students.

In the blink of an eye, Ding Yue found himself driving in August.

Along the way, Ding Yue was recognized by quite a few people.

"Aren’t you Principal Ding?"

"Principal Ding from Mist City Arts and Science University?"

"You’re that Principal Ding?"

"Principal Ding, I’ve already applied for Mist City Arts and Science University in my college entrance examination application."

Those who randomly met Ding Yue were mostly young people who paid a lot of attention to Mist City Arts and Science University and this Principal Ding. Some were even graduates who had already applied to the university.

When these young people encountered Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University, they couldn’t contain their excitement and happiness.

To these young encounters, Ding Yue expressed his anticipation for them to experience the best college times at Mist City Arts and Science University.

By mid-August, Ding Yue had driven around the country, visiting almost everywhere he needed to go. This trip was incredibly relaxing.

After all, having money means you can pay for the best services wherever you go, including food and hotel accommodation. As long as you can enhance these experiences, whether domestically or globally, the travel experience will be fantastic.

Although Ding Yue spent quite a bit on this self-driving trip with Huang, Bin, Zhang Yuping, and Lin Zhirou, this "quite a bit" is only in comparison to ordinary people.

For Ding Yue, it’s just a drop in the bucket. You can easily earn it back by enrolling more students or selling more Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles.

After the road trip ended, Ding Yue returned to his Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Ah, home sweet home!"

The moment the car entered Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue felt an incredibly familiar sense.

This campus holds a lot of Ding Yue’s dedication.

Over the past few years, Ding Yue has devoted almost all of his energy to the development and construction of Mist City Arts and Science University, resulting in its current prestigious reputation.

For the next few years, Ding Yue plans to proceed steadily.

Firstly, to maintain the top positions in the university’s mechanical, computer, architecture, medical, and film schools, and then to develop new leading disciplines, such as aerospace, physics, astronomy, and energy chemistry.

These traditional disciplines are very important for promoting domestic technological development.

Besides, it’s necessary to enhance the strength and quality of other departments, at least above the standard of key universities.

Therefore, this requires a substantial financial investment.

After all, to build an excellent department, can you do it without funding?

And educational funding, in particular, is a major expense. It’s very common for universities to spend tens of billions yearly on educational funding.

This means Ding Yue needs to ensure a portion of Feiyue Group’s earnings over the coming years will be invested in Mist City Arts and Science University.

Actually, this has always been Ding Yue’s development plan for Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group. Mist City Arts and Science University provides talent to Feiyue Group, while Feiyue Group supports Mist City Arts and Science University with teaching and research funding.

Otherwise, how could the tuition fee alone from Mist City Arts and Science University support such a massive expenditure on teaching and research?

"Principal Ding, do you need a couple of days to rest?"

Upon returning to Mist City Arts and Science University, Secretary Wen Ruohan asked.

Having just returned from a road trip, Wen Ruohan thought Principal Ding would need a good rest for a couple of days before getting back to decision-making for Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group.

"No need. I’ve eaten well and rested well on this trip. I feel relaxed both physically and mentally."

Ding Yue shrugged, smiling at Secretary Wen Ruohan.

A journey with money often isn’t exhausting. Instead, every day is incredibly relaxing because there’s nothing to worry about.

Ding Yue finally realized the benefits of having money.

So upon returning to Mist City Arts and Science University, he immediately threw himself into "work." Being back at Mist City Arts and Science University, he found his mindset concerning the university very urgent, unable to remain idle. Moreover, there must be quite a few matters from the past few months awaiting his deep understanding.

Although during the trip, Ding Yue also received various reports from the school.

"Let’s start with inspecting the maintenance and logistics of the school’s infrastructure."

Since the new students are arriving soon, Ding Yue decided that the basic amenities at Mist City Arts and Science University must be guaranteed.

What are the most basic things?

Undoubtedly, it’s the school’s infrastructure and logistical support.

If these two elements were missing, newly returning students, how could they survive within the campus?

Firstly, Ding Yue visited several major canteens, and had a chat with his mother Zhang Yuping. Currently, the canteen lacks nothing as fresh vegetables, rice, oil, and other basic ingredients are adequately supplied.

"Son, don’t worry. The food supply system at our school canteen is already very mature."

Zhang Yuping said with a smile to her son.

"Can food supply be guaranteed for up to 300,000 people?"

Ding Yue asked.

"Eating simultaneously, it’s unlikely, given it’s 300,000 people. But staggered meal times won’t be a problem. You needn’t worry about food."

Zhang Yuping confidently stated.

"Hahaha, now I feel assured."

Ding Yue laughed heartily. It seems he had made the right choice by assigning the canteen’s operations to his mother.

Previously, his mother only cooked at home. Now, she was a career woman.

"Son, instead of worrying about the school canteen, think about your dad’s responsibility for the school’s water and electricity supply. Do you know there have been two water outages in the last month? I really don’t know what to say to your dad."

Zhang Yuping shook her head, complaining.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue realized it indeed needed addressing.

Water and electricity are essential here at Mist City Arts and Science University. How could students live without it? Even the canteen might struggle without them; chaos might ensue.

"Alright, I’ll talk to Dad and find out."

Ding Yue nodded, immediately pulling out his phone to call his father, Ding Jianjun.

"Hello, Dad, where are you?"

"On the way to the Fifth Canteen, about to have lunch. What’s up, son?" Ding Jianjun asked over the phone.

"Very well, Mom and I are also at the Fifth Canteen. Come over quickly; there’s something I need to discuss."

"Alright."

About ten minutes later, Ding Jianjun came to the Fifth Canteen with roughly a dozen water and electricity workers.

"You guys go ahead and have lunch."

After speaking to the water and electricity workers, Ding Jianjun headed over to Ding Yue.

"Dad, it’s just that, Mom says the school has frequent water and electricity outages this month?" As soon as he saw his father, Ding Yue asked.

It’s all family, no need to beat around the bush.

"Indeed."

Ding Jianjun nodded in response.

"Well, it’s just that, having constant water and electricity outages isn’t good, knowing they’re foundational to our school’s operations. Without them, it wouldn’t work. Has there been any issue with the water and electricity networks?"

Ding Yue hurriedly explained.

"Son, it’s almost late August going into September when the new students will arrive. Our water and electricity department is organizing a major overhaul of the campus water and electricity and some line modifications to ensure stable supply for the new arrivals. Therefore, we’re utilizing this summer break to conduct the maintenance and line modifications while there are fewer people on campus."

Ding Jianjun detailed his explanation.
