Chapter 1639: Chapter 863: Welcome Party_2

After all, although the South campus is not as large as the North campus, it still covers an area of more than 5,500 acres.

"Alright, let’s discuss this issue later. Bin, anyway, try your best to communicate effectively with Tong Yihang and Luo Peng from the Mechanical Department. Once the chip is out, our Metaverse Plan will officially kick off, understand?"

Ding Yue reminded Xu Bin once more.

After all, the Computer Department team led by Xu Bin is a crucial part of the lithography machine project.

"Let’s go, the welcoming event is about to start."

Ding Yue took Huang and Bin to attend a welcoming party held at the Fifth Canteen.

This welcoming event had nothing to do with the Opening Ceremony and Freshmen Military Training Mobilization Conference; it was merely a gathering proposed by freshmen after registration, intended to help them make various friends.

Upon learning about this event, Ding Yue thought that, as the principal, he should attend to interact more with the freshmen and close the gap between them.

So, Ding Yue called Huang and Bin to join him in attending tonight’s welcoming party.

"Students, let’s welcome Principal Ding!"

At the entrance of the Fifth Canteen, some freshmen recognized Principal Ding and shouted.

"Principal Ding is here."

"Wow, Principal Ding is attending tonight’s welcoming party?"

"Principal Ding is really down-to-earth."

"Senior, which one is Principal Ding?"

The students chatted, looking over in Principal Ding’s direction.

This welcoming party attracted mostly this year’s freshmen, but some seniors came to organize it too.

"You don’t know which one is Principal Ding? Well, the most handsome one is Principal Ding."

"Wow, the most handsome one, I guessed it right!"

"So handsome!"

"Who are the other two?"

"The other two are also leaders from Mist City Arts and Science University; one is Director Huang from logistics, and the other one is Director Xu from administration!"

Ding Yue, along with Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, walked into the Fifth Canteen, finding it decorated quite nicely, giving off a youthful and lively vibe, with music and lights creating a sort of large disco atmosphere.

"The students are very enthusiastic."

Seeing students gather around him, Ding Yue said with a smile.

"Yue, aren’t you going to say a few words tonight?" Xu Bin patted Yue’s shoulder, smiling and asked.

"Let’s see."

Ding Yue didn’t specifically prepare any speech, after all, this is an entertainment-oriented welcoming party, not something meant to be serious.

"Hey, hey, Bin, Yue, look, is that girl pretty?"

Huang, as soon as he entered the large welcoming party venue, began admiring the beauties.

Indeed, there were quite a lot of beautiful girls.

The key is, Huang Youjie spotted a top-notch beauty, and by his standards, she could rival Lin Zhirou and Zhang Yu.

"Oh?"

Hearing Huang mention a beauty, Ding Yue was slightly intrigued.

Beauty, after all, is something men all enjoy looking at, right?

Ding Yue looks at pretty girls every day, not for any particular reason, just to brighten his mood.

"Indeed, she looks quite nice."

After glancing, Ding Yue also gave a "nice" evaluation.

Judging by her looks, Ding Yue thought there would be no problem winning this year’s beauty contest. But considering that Mist City Arts and Science University has over 170,000 students, with nearly half being girls, high-rated beauties are definitely not scarce.

In this view, this year’s beauty contest is bound to be a fierce battle.

Thinking of this, Ding Yue decided to pay close attention to this year’s beauty contest and see which goddess comes out on top.

Actually, Mist City Arts and Science University’s beauty contest is not an official event held by the university. Obviously, this kind of thing can’t be school-led; otherwise, there would be tremendous public pressure.

Therefore, Mist City Arts and Science University’s annual beauty contest is organized by the students themselves, where students can vote, and a special voting channel is set up on the forum.

This year’s beauty contest is much grander compared to the first year, especially with over 300,000 students voting, unlike the first contest with only about 9,000 votes.

"Principal Ding, how about saying a few words?"

Someone called for Principal Ding to speak.

"I don’t think it’s appropriate; this is everyone’s welcoming party, and I’ll give a special speech at our Opening Ceremony and Freshmen Military Training Mobilization Conference in a few days."

Ding Yue said to everyone with a smile.

"Oh come on, Principal Ding, just say a few words!"

Some students goaded.

"Ah, this."

Seeing the students’ enthusiasm and having the microphone directly handed to him, Ding Yue thought refusing them might ruin the mood of the evening.

"Alright then, I’ll say a few casual words for everyone."

Upon taking the microphone, Ding Yue suddenly felt as if he was about to deliver an extensive speech.

But he quickly reacted.

Tonight isn’t the time for a big speech.

The big speech should be reserved for the Opening Ceremony and Freshmen Military Training Mobilization Conference in a few days.

Tonight, just a brief word will do.

"Ahem."

Ding Yue took the microphone, laughingly saying, "Since everyone wants me to say a few words, I’ll just say a few casual things, okay? This isn’t me being bureaucratic."

"Alright!"

The freshmen clapped excitedly, ready to hear Principal Ding’s words.

For freshmen, someone like Principal Ding showing up at the welcoming party was quite unexpected.

"Since everyone is coming to Mist City Arts and Science University for the first time, as the principal, I warmly welcome you all. As Mist City Arts and Science University’s fresh blood, I hope in the coming years, you’ll work hard to learn knowledge and skills, keeping your heart towards the light!"

After saying this, Ding Yue felt he inadvertently sounded somewhat bureaucratic.

A moment later, Ding Yue laughed again: "Hahaha, of course, that’s my expectation of you. Meanwhile, I hope you have a happy time every day at Mist City Arts and Science University. While studying, enjoy your youth and maybe even fall in love, which is quite good."

"Alright!"

When students heard Principal Ding mention falling in love during college, they got excited.

"Okay, I’ll stop here. Too much talk becomes just ideology, which nobody likes to hear, right?"

Ding Yue smiled and prepared to pass the microphone to someone beside him.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, "Principal Ding, sing a song!"

"Yes, yes, Principal Ding, sing a song!"

"Sing one!"

"Principal Ding! Principal Ding! Sing one!"

"Sing one, hahaha!"

"Yes, yes, Principal Ding, sing one!"

"Principal Ding, sing a song!"

"Support Principal Ding singing a song!"

Once someone started this, all the students quickly chimed in.

After hearing Principal Ding’s speech, they wanted to hear him sing too.

The girls were particularly excited, thinking Principal Ding being so handsome would mean his singing is quite good too, right?

Some students had heard Principal Ding sing before, as Ding Yue performed at Mist City Arts and Science University’s New Year’s Eve party.

"Ah, this."

Seeing the situation, Ding Yue felt a bit embarrassed.

The front speech just ended, and now they want him to sing, will they have him dance next?

"Then I’ll sing a few lines."

Not wanting to refuse the students’ enthusiastic invite, Ding Yue thought for a moment and decided to casually hum a few lines, just to show a little gratitude.
