Chapter 182: Chapter 167 I Have a Bold Idea (Second Update) _1

Less than an hour later.

On the internet, a new buzzword appeared - "Casually Teaching Principal Ding!"

That’s right.

The principal of the Mist City Arts and Science University mentioned in an interview that the reason why students are so good at studying is simply because he was teaching them "casually".

When talking about himself, Ding Yue also insisted that he was just a "plain and unremarkable" ordinary person.

In no time, netizens were in a frenzy.

Such a handsome Principal Ding – and you’re telling me you’re plain and unremarkable?

In just one academic year, students have won various awards and even created a highly popular robot named Big White.

And you claim that this happened simply because you "taught offhand"?

For a while, Ding Yue’s modesty during the interview quickly went viral online.

"Principal Ding, you’re trending!"

While having dinner in a restaurant, Wen Ruohan was browsing Twitter on her phone and saw Ding Yue was trending.

The critical point is.

He was ranked quite high on the trending list!

"Why am I trending? Could it be due to the interview from this afternoon?" Ding Yue asked curiously while leisurely enjoying his meal.

"Yep."

Wen Ruohan nodded and quickly handed over her phone to Principal Ding.

Ding Yue took a look at the phone.

Twitter trending #2: Casually Teaching Principal Ding

Twitter trending #9: Plain and Unremarkable Principal Ding.

There’s even two trends about him!

Ding Yue was a bit surprised. He had just taken a spontaneous interview and he was already trending?

As Ding Yue scrolled down the trending list, he also saw a trend about Big White.

The trend about Big White had been for quite some time now, starting from noon onwards, it was still on the trending list till evening.

"Yue, your quote about being plain and unremarkable is damn gold! It’s getting popular on Mopu Pedestrian Street forum!"

Huang Youjie sitting across the table while enjoying his meal, said with a laugh.

Huang Youjie was just browsing the forum of Mopu Pedestrian Street, and saw several posts all discussing "Plain and Unremarkable Principal Ding".

[Plain and Unremarkable Principal Ding, do you really believe that you’re plain and unremarkable with that good looks?]

"Hahaha Yue, there’s also a hot post on Zhihu, [How To View the Interview of ’Casually Teaching Principal Ding?’]"

Xu Bin followed with another laughing comment.

He was browsing Zhihu, and a hot post was already discussing it more than any other trend today.

["How To View the Interview of ’Casually Teaching Principal Ding?’]

Anonymous User: Thank you for the invitation, in fact, Principal Ding’s comment is a modest response, but it is also a very skillful response because some of the students at Mist City Arts and Science University are already excellent, which has become a fact. So when Principal Ding says "casually teaching," it’s not really just teaching casually...

Anonymous User: Thank you for the invitation, I just arrived in Lighthouse Country. I am keeping it anonymous as it involves inner circle benefits.

Anonymous User: Thank you for the invitation, Perhaps Principal Ding really did teach casually, and the students also casually learned from him which led them to gain knowledge. Education shouldn’t be rigid; it should be lively.

Anonymous User: Heard that Mist City Arts and Science University has a great learning atmosphere. A good learning environment indeed can let many students fully demonstrate their talents.

Ding Yue, hearing Huang Youjie and Xu Bin talking about how his name was trending on Mopu Pedestrian Street forum and Zhihu, whipped out his phone and logged onto these platforms.

He found that the funny netizens were indeed being quite aggressive with their analysis of his quote!

"Principal Ding."

A few moments later, his secretary Wen Ruohan came over and said in a low voice, "Principal Ding, Dean Jiang from Mist City Central Hospital has arrived at the hotel."

Since the afternoon, Wen Ruohan has been serving as Principal Ding’s representative in negotiations with Mist City Central Hospital.

For instance, about where Principal Ding would stay. Dean Jiang and his delegation had planned to book rooms at the same hotel.

But!

The hotel was fully booked.

As a result, Dean Jiang’s delegation had to book rooms at the nearest hotel. Fortunately, rooms were still available there, otherwise, they would’ve had to stay at an even more distant location.

"Is Dean Jiang staying at the same hotel as us?"

Ding Yue asked curiously upon hearing this.

Wen Ruohan shook her head: "No, Principal Ding, the hotel we’re staying at is fully booked, so Dean Jiang is staying at the hotel next door."

"Oh okay, let’s get ready and go meet Dean Jiang."

Since there was nothing to do after dinner, Ding Yue was planning to meet Dean Jiang to discuss potential cooperation.

"Principal Ding, we don’t need to go over. Dean Jiang and his team are already on their way here. They should arrive in a few minutes."

Wen Ruohan quickly said.

"I see, let’s wait for Dean Jiang in the hotel’s reception hall then," Ding Yue nodded thoughtfully before muttering, "Dean Jiang really is quite earnest. They arrived at the hotel straight after getting off the plane and did not rest, coming straight to meet me."

Unless Ding Yue remembered incorrectly, President Jiang Zhongbo should be around sixty years old, right?

The hotel reception hall.

Ding Yue and his secretary Wen Ruohan were waiting for the arrival of Dean Jiang Zhongbo.

About ten minutes later.

Dean Jiang arrived at the hotel reception.

"Dean Jiang!"

Upon seeing the elderly man of about sixty, Ding Yue knew right away that it was President Jiang Zhongbo.

Moreover, Ding Yue had seen pictures of Dean Jiang before and was certain that he would not mistake the individual.

"Hello, Principal Ding, right?"

Dean Jiang knew that Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Sciences University was young, but he never expected him to be that young.

"Dean Jiang called me this afternoon, and here you are in Shu City to meet me tonight. Please, take a seat."

Ding Yue felt quite sympathetic towards the little old man.

However, Dean Jiang didn’t seem like a sixty-year-old at all, physically and mentally. He was more in the style of men in their fifties.

"Alright, Principal Ding, let’s sit down and chat."

As Dean Jiang spoke, he sat down on the sofa, placing his briefcase to the side.

Ding Yue noticed.

It seemed that Dean Jiang made this trip alone. Theoretically, it shouldn’t be so. When the Dean of a hospital personally intervened in such matters, there should be more than one person, right?

In fact,

President Jiang Zhongbo did bring people to Shu City.

However, the two people he brought along were there to examine Big White. Because it was already evening, Dean Guo decided to let Professor Cheng and Professor Guo rest for the night. He arranged a meeting for himself and Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University at the hotel to initiate contact.

"Principal Ding, it’s remarkable and promising that an institution as young as Mist City Arts and Science University could produce a medical service robot like Big White."

Dean Jiang praised Ding Yue and Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Dean Jiang is being too kind,"

Ding Yue was rather modest.

After all, sitting opposite him was the Dean of Mist City Central Hospital, and in terms of social status, the Dean was definitely higher than Ding currently.

"Principal Ding, it’s getting late now, so I didn’t bring Professors Cheng and Guo with me. How about we go visit Big White tomorrow instead?"

"Of course, that’s not a problem."

"I came early to get in touch with you, Principal Ding, and to mention the thoughts of our Mist City Central Hospital."

"Please go ahead, Dean Jiang."

Ding Yue prepared himself to hear what Dean Jiang thought about the potential collaboration.

Wen Ruohan, the secretary sitting next to Ding, prepared to listen and note down the discussion.

"Mist City Central Hospital has been serving the health of Mist City’s citizens for decades. I think you’re aware of this, Principal Ding?"

Dean Jiang spoke very calmly, worthy of a veteran hospital dean in his sixties.

"Yes, of course, Mist City Central Hospital is the best in our area and is one of the top in the entire southeast."

The status of Mist City Central Hospital is undeniable for Ding Yue.

President Jiang Zhongbo nodded slightly, then continued, "Indeed, during these fast-paced times, people increasingly believe in big hospitals. Many minor ailments result in people seeking treatment at our hospital. However, our hospital has finite resources. So when we witnessed the medical service robot from your University, we felt that our hospital desperately needs such medical service robots. In fact, hospitals nationwide could use them."

"Thank you, Dean Jiang, for appreciating our medical service robot."

"But Principal Ding, you also know that a medical service robot like Big White definitely needs a pilot trial. What do you think about our Mist City Central Hospital as the pilot hospital?"

As Dean Jiang spoke, he looked up with sincere eyes at Ding Yue.

Ding Yue thought about it, what Dean Jiang said made sense.

On one hand, if they were to promote their medical service robot Big White, they would certainly need a pilot hospital to execute the initial trials.

Furthermore, the medical service robot Big White still needed approval in order to be commercialized. If the trial at Mist City Central Hospital was successful, then approval shouldn’t be a significant problem.

"Dean Jiang, if we have the trial at your Mist City Central Hospital, would our medical service robot Big White receive official approval once the trial is successfully completed?"

Ding Yue inquired with a smile on his face.

"Of course, as soon as the pilot program is approved, we will support the application for the certificate," Dean Jiang answered with a nod.

Upon hearing from Dean Jiang such a definite answer, Ding Yue felt more at ease.

A person like Dean Jiang undoubtedly wouldn’t be like Xu Wei, the chairman of the Rentang Medical Technology Group he had previously encountered.

"Well, in that case, Dean Jiang, our Mist City Arts and Science University is willing to cooperate with Mist City Central Hospital regarding the pilot trial of our medical service robot Big White!"

Ding Yue replied very straightforwardly to Dean Jiang.

Wen Ruohan looked at Principal Ding in surprise.

How was Principal Ding so straightforward today? This slightly differs from his usual style, doesn’t it?

After all, whatever Principal Ding decides to do, it’s always with a focus on gain and avoiding loss.

But today, he agreed so promptly to Dean Jiang, and the conditions provided by them were not that good.

It was merely assisting in obtaining medical qualifications upon the success of the pilot trial.

"Principal Ding, are you agreeing just like that?"

Dean Jiang raised his brow and queried.

"Yes, however, Dean Jiang, our Mist City Arts and Science University has a slightly bold idea, I’m not sure if you would like to hear it?"

Ding Yue suddenly asked with a smile.
