Chapter 180: Chapter 165: Dean Jiang with a Good Reputation (Third Update)_1

Following a prompt examination from Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and others,

they finally found the location and cause of the Big White robot’s leak.

It turns out that during a man’s experience hugging Big White, the nail clipper from his keychain accidentally cut Big White’s body.

How bizarre.

Who carries a nail clipper on their keychain anyway?

Because Big White’s body material is polyvinyl alcohol fiber, it’s incredibly flexible and can withstand substantial pressure, so hugging it wouldn’t have caused any problems.

However, polyvinyl alcohol fiber is easily cut when faced with sharp objects.

Once it’s cut, it will produce the hissing leak sound we just heard.

If they don’t handle it in time, Big White will continue to leak air until the internal gas has depleted down to 30%, and then it’ll activate the emergency air system.

Nevertheless, if it’s filling with air while simultaneously leaking, that could only ensure that Big White wouldn’t collapse entirely.

Just like in the movie when Big White was leaking air.

"Quick, get the leak-proof tape!" After Tong Yihang found the cut on Big White, he immediately told Liu Tiefei.

Liu Tiefei swiftly brought over Big White’s emergency tool kit and took out a roll of white tape from the red emergency box.

This tape was specifically designed for Big White. Whenever there’s an emergency leak, it can temporarily mend Big White’s "wound".

Ssshh!

After Tong Yihang got the tape, he quickly tore off a piece and promptly put it on Big White’s "wound".

The hissing sound finally stopped.

Luckily, the cut wasn’t large, so Big White’s leak didn’t appear severe.

After applying the leak-proof tape, Big White would automatically refill the air that was lost.

"Principal Ding, it’s settled."

After patching up Big White, Tong Yihang reported to Principal Ding.

"Well done."

Ding Yue took a look; the color of the leak-proof tape was almost identical to Big White’s skin. There weren’t visible traces showing.

However.

Ding Yue wondered, how long would the tape hold?

So Ding Yue turned around and asked Tong Yihang, "How long can this leak-proof tape last?"

"Principal Ding, don’t worry. This tape was custom made for Big White. As long as it isn’t peeled off intentionally, it should last at least ten days to half a month."

"That’s good."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue was satisfied.

As long as it can last the duration of the fair, it should be fine.

Otherwise, Big White wouldn’t be as cute or warm upon deflating.

Would a non-cute and non-warm Big White still attract people to experience it?

And then Ding Yue’s goal of 20,000 attendees would be hard to reach.

"You guys split into groups and take turns. You have worked hard. After we return, I promise to reward you accordingly," Ding Yue patted Tong Yihang and others on the shoulders as he gave instructions.

Guiding visitors to experience Big White is indeed a tiring task, but that’s what Ding Yue assigned to Tong Yihang and his team.

They have contributed their labor; as their principal, he would surely reward them after.

"Principal Ding, this is our duty; don’t worry. We will make sure everything runs smoothly until the end of the exhibition."

"Good."

After saying this, Ding Yue prepared to visit other exhibits in the Future Tech City.

As for the man who caused the mishap, after Tong Yihang and his team have assessed the damage to Big White, they will discuss compensation with him.

Future Tech City is so extensive, and there are many tech companies participating. Ding Yue felt there must be some intriguing "black tech" exhibits.

Ding Yue wanted to see what were these groundbreaking tech products that were popular, to get an idea of the market demand.

"Principal Ding, where are you going?"

When Wen Ruohan saw Principal Ding leaving the exhibition area, she quickly followed.

Huang Youjie and Xu Bin also followed.

"I’m going to roam around the exhibition."

"Then I’ll go with Principal Ding."

"Good!"

The four of them walked around Future Tech City and indeed found some interesting technological products.

Some of them were even more interesting than Dami Technology’s transparent television, at least that’s what Ding Yue thought.

Just when Ding Yue along with his pals had arrived at the preliminary round of the Robotics Competition, preparing to enjoy the initial contests.

A strange call rang through Wen Ruohan’s phone.

"Principal Ding, I need to take this call," After asking for Ding Yue’s consent, Wen Ruohan turned and walked a few steps aside where she could answer the call in a quieter spot.

"Hello, who is this?"

This number of Wen Ruohan’s was her work number, and if someone was calling, it was likely that something was up.

"Hello, could I speak to Principal Ding?" a young voice from the other side of the phone asked.

"I am Principal Ding’s secretary, Wen Ruohan. May I know what matters you have with Principal Ding?" Wen Ruohan explained and then inquired.

Wen Ruohan’s work number could be found in numerous public areas, such as on her Twitter account and the official university website.

The main purpose was to have people contacting her first before reaching Principal Ding, to spare him from being incessantly pestered by similar intrusive calls.

It was Wen Ruohan’s job to screen such calls for Principal Ding.

"Hello, Secretary Wen. I am the administrative assistant of the Dean’s Office at the Mist City Central Hospital. Our Dean Jiang would like to speak with Principal Ding regarding the healthcare robots from your university. Is that possible?"

"Hold on a moment, please." Wen Ruohan quickly checked with Principal Ding after she finished speaking and was covering the phone.

"Principal Ding, we have a call from the Dean’s Office at the Mist City Central Hospital. They wanted to discuss our healthcare robot, Big White."

Wen Ruohan shared the information with Mr. Ding faithfully.

"Mist City Central Hospital?"

After hearing this, Ding Yue promptly nodded: "Pass me the phone."

Without hesitation, Wen Ruohan handed the phone to Principal Ding.

"Hello, this is Ding Yue, Principal of Mist City Arts and Science University," After answering the phone, Ding Yue introduced himself first.

There was no response on the other end initially.

After a while, an old man’s voice finally came through: "Hello Principal Ding, I am the Dean of Mist City Central Hospital, Jiang Zhongbo. Thank you for taking my call."

Well-mannered, indeed.

Jiang Zhongbo, the dean of Mist City Central Hospital, is a well-known figure in Mist City and holds an outstanding reputation.

The reputation of the Mist City Central Hospital was excellent nationwide, considered one of the best in the southwest region and beyond.

The great impression of Mist City Central Hospital was shaped by Dean Jiang Zhongbo. He must be around sixty years old right now, isn’t he?

He invested the best years of his life solely in developing the Mist City Central Hospital.

If such a dean were interested in discussing a matter concerning Big White, Ding Yue would be absolutely willing to engage in the talk.

This contrasts strikingly with President Xu Wei from the Rentang Medical Technology Group.

Rentang Medical Technology Group was looking to buy the patent technology of Big White from the Mist City Arts and Science University to make a fortune ruthlessly, at the same time exploiting patients for money.

However, Mist City Central Hospital had the wellbeing of its patients and long-term hospital development at heart.

"Dean Jiang, is your hospital interested in Big White, the healthcare robot our university developed?" Ding Yue asked directly.

"Ha ha, Principal Ding is a sharp man, you guessed it right away, the reason why I made the call. Yes, after seeing the news this noon about Big White from your university’s display at the National Robotics Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition, we felt its potential. It has been too many years since there was a product related to medical technology at the Science and Technology Innovation Fair."

Dean Jiang said very firmly: "After watching the news, I immediately convened a temporary meeting with all the department heads of the hospital. We unanimously agreed to establish preliminary contact with your university."

"That’s great. Big White, our healthcare robot, was developed to advance medical services in our country. Dean Jiang, if you’re interested in cooperating, we can definitely consider it," Mr. Ding replied with a smile.

"That’s great, Principal Ding. Are you in Shu City now?"

"Yes, I am currently attending the National Robotics Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition in Shu City. I will be back in Mist City about a week later," Ding Yue answered.

"No problem. I will fly to Shu City immediately to discuss my thoughts and some recent national policies with you in person. Is that alright with you?"

"You’re coming in person, Dean Jiang?"

"Yes, I believe a face-to-face discussion with you would make the cooperation go more smoothly, don’t you think?"

"I appreciate the effort, Dean Jiang. Should I wait here for you then?"

"Sure!"

Ding Yue didn’t expect that the sixty-year-old Dean Jiang would travel all the way to Shu City just to discuss cooperation matters with him.

This was rather surprising for Ding Yue.

However, since Dean Jiang was so sincere, Ding Yue might just wait for his arrival and discuss potential cooperation arrangements with Mist City Central Hospital earnestly.

The best pilot site for Mist City Arts and Science University’s healthcare robot, Big White, would be none other than a hospital.

Only by implementing it in an actual hospital can Big White really apply for relevant medical devices certification and adjustments.

The most crucial part –

Mist City Central Hospital is a pool of talents and a cradle for renowned professors in the medical field.

This round of negotiation about a healthcare robot collaboration was actually proposed by Mist City Central Hospital.

With this particular negotiation, Principal Ding was confident that he held the advantageous position.

So, hee hee, ha ha, ha ha ha... ...
