Chapter 197: Chapter 177 Principal Ding! I’m willing (Fourth update) _1

Ding Yue truly wanted to keep Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei from going to the Dingli Group.

After all, the school had invested a year into them.

Having finally cultivated these top talents in the Mechanical Department, perhaps with more training, by the time they graduate, they will be comparable to graduates from Qinghua’s Mechanical Department. Moreover, their achievements while at school may even surpass those students!

In fact, Ding Yue believed that both Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei would prefer to stay at a school that feels like home.

"Principal Ding, I am willing, I am willing to stay. This school really feels like a second home to me!"

Liu Tiefei was also moved to tears.

These two tough guys, choking back their guilt, expressed their thoughts to Principal Ding.

To hell with the Dingli Group, what the hell is the Dingli Group worth?

Staying with the school is the "Correct Way", following Principal Ding is the most reassuring choice, isn’t it?

"Eh, that’s more like it. I see you both are quite enlightened. The school will always be your second home, a stage for you to showcase yourselves, right? Just look at our Arts Department’s student, Lin Zhirou."

Huang Youjie spoke to Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei in a practiced tone befitting of a school leader.

After nearly a full school year as a school leader at Mist City Arts and Science University, Huang Youjie had mastered the tone and demeanor of a leader.

"The corporate group behind our school is planning to branch out into the field of mechanical manufacturing. Aren’t we about to set up a production line for ’Big White’ the robot? ’Big White’ has a promising future which I’m sure you both can see, so by staying, you will have excellent job positions and promising futures."

Ding Yue stood up, walked in front of Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, extended his hand to pat them on the shoulders: "Alright, stop this crying, what is going on? A man should not shed tears lightly!"

Hearing Principal Ding say this, Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei composed themselves, wiped away their tears, and showed a determined look.

They were very determined to follow Principal Ding and believed that they would have a prosperous future.

As for the Dingli Group?

Once again, to hell with the Dingli Group!

Just as Ding Yue successfully stabilized the emotions of Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, his cell phone rang.

The call was from his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Hello, Xiao Wen. I will be there with Director Huang and Director Xu shortly." Ding Yue said directly after answering the phone.

Because Ding Yue thought that secretary Wen Ruohan was calling to ask why he hadn’t gone to the cafeteria for the celebration banquet yet.

However...

That was not what Wen Ruohan wanted to talk about: "No, Principal Ding, do you know something has happened?"

"What happened?"

Ding Yue asked, slightly frowning.

Too many things happened today, right?

Just after settling a problem on his end, Xiao Wen was saying that something else had happened?

"Principal Ding, do you know about the Dingli Group? They are planning to recruit a batch of fresh graduates from the Qinghua’s Mechanical Department. They said they have also invited Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei from our school."

On the phone, Wen Ruohan hurriedly informed Principal Ding about what she had just found out.

"How did you know this?"

Ding Yue was very curious.

"On Twitter, there’s a trending topic. Principal Ding, you should have a look. It’s clear that the Dingli Group is trying to take advantage of our victory in the National Robotics Competition and the popularity of ’Big White’ at the National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition to poach our talents. This is outrageous!"

Wen Ruohan spoke indignantly.

The school had invested a great effort in cultivating the team who created ’Big White’. So why should the Dingli Group benefit from our efforts?

Moreover, have Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei even graduated yet?

Most importantly, Ruohan knew that Principal Ding wanted to utilize talents in the field of mechanics like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei within the school.

Last time during the meeting at a hotel in Shu City, Principal Ding mentioned setting up a production line for ’Big White’ in the school and having the team led by Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei as technical advisors.

But now they risk being poached by the Dingli Group!

"I already know about this situation and have taken care of it," Ding Yue laughed as he told Wen Ruohan.

"What?"

Wen Ruohan was completely dumbfounded.

Principal Ding already knew and even solved the problem?

Oh my god!

How efficient is Principal Ding? That’s too impressive!

No way!

Did Principal Ding fire Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei in anger?

"Principal Ding, you mustn’t be impulsive. After all, neither Tong Yihang nor Liu Tiefei have expressed their intentions."

Wen Ruohan hurriedly tried to suppress Principal Ding’s potential "rage".

"Hehe, Ruohan, what are you talking about? I’ve already persuaded Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei to stay with the charm of being Principal. They have decided not to go to the Dingli Group. You go to the second cafeteria first and wait for us, we’ll be there soon."

After saying this, Ding Yue gave a few words of instruction to Wen Ruohan and hung up the phone.

It wasn’t until Principal Ding hung up the phone that Wen Ruohan snapped back to reality. She was a little dumbfounded, no, to be precise, she was still struggling to comprehend everything that had transpired.

This was a significant matter.

Did Principal Ding just solve it so easily and perfectly?

That’s unbelievable!

After calling his secretary, Wen Ruohan, Ding Yue opened the Twitter app on his phone, went to the Twitter trending list, and sure enough, he found the trending topic that Wen Ruohan mentioned.

"Huh? It’s really there?"

Ding Yue mumbled in confusion.

"What’s up, Yue?" Huang Youjie got up and asked curiously.

"Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, you two are trending. Dingli Group said they are recruiting a bunch of fresh graduates from the Qinghua mechanical engineering department. They also mentioned that they have sent you two offer letters."

Ding Yue turned the device to Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei to read.

"That’s not right!"

Xu Bin also got up, frowning and saying, "Doesn’t this feel like it’s deliberate?"

"Haha, what do you mean by ’feel’? This is clearly intentional." Ding Yue shook his head, saying, "This must be a trending topic bought by Dingli Group. They intended to create a ’can’t get off the tiger’ dilemma for Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, ultimately forcing them to join Dingli Group."

"What?"

Tong Yihang was stunned.

Can there be such tactics?

"I go, this tactic is too despicable! Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, you two are lucky that you didn’t agree to join Dingli Group. Someone who uses such tactics to achieve their goals... We must avoid!"

Xu Bin shook his head and told Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.

Ding Yue heard this and couldn’t help but look at Xu Bin, is this guy sure he’s talking about Dingli Group?

emmmm...because Ding Yue also bought trending topics before...

"Yeah, Director Xu is right. Such a company is not worth it. The school is so much better. Principal Ding treats us well. Principal Ding, let’s do this, let’s sign a contract so we don’t hesitate when we encounter such things in the future!"

Tong Yihang stood up with a determined look in his eyes and spoke to Ding Yue.

Oh my!

Who would have thought that Tong Yihang would be so decisive.

The contract is indeed necessary, but under normal circumstances, it would be proposed by Ding Yue. Moreover, Ding Yue has thought about signing a contract with Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei after some time to formally recruit them into his Feiyue Group.

But unexpectedly...

Now it is Tong Yihang who is taking the initiative.

"Yes, Principal Ding, we can sign a contract to prevent us from job-hopping due to various reasons. Principal Ding treats us so well, we are willing to follow Principal Ding to make robots!"

Liu Tiefei also reassured himself.

Actually, if they were to go to Dingli Group, they would mostly sign a non-competition agreement. Now that they have chosen to stay in school to follow Principal Ding, they might as well let Principal Ding see their determination.

"I trust you guys. However, given what just happened, I can sign a generous contract agreement with you to ensure fairness!"

Ding Yue gave a pat on Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei’s shoulders.

For top talents in mechanical engineering like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei, Ding Yue definitely wants to bring them under his wing.

But since this is the case, he’ll give them the benefits they deserve.

"Perfect."

Huang Youjie clapped his hands and said, "Problem perfectly resolved."

"Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, since you’ve chosen to stay, do I need to remind you what to do next?"

Ding Yue smiled at the two and said.

"Yeah, sure, we’ll be making eleven ’Big White’ robots. After the school has set up the first production line, we’ll be responsible for technical guidance."

Tong Yihang nodded in agreement.

"Good, I hope you guys can handle it well. When the school gets ready to work on AI robots, you guys will still be the pioneers!"

Ding Yue has high expectations for both Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.

Besides being among the first excellent talents from the mechanical engineering department at Mist City Arts and Science University, these two are pretty good on their own.

This was evident when they did not immediately abandon the grace of the school’s training at the sight of the enticing offer letter from Dingli Group.

"Alright, let’s go, off to the second canteen! Everyone’s waiting to celebrate there!"

After Ding Yue finished speaking, he led Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Huang, and Bin out of the apartment and headed to the second canteen.

In Haicheng right about now...

Liu Guanghui’s flabbergasted.

It’s been so long since...

Why haven’t the two blokes from Mist City Arts and Science University replied to my email?

"Liu, did the two students still not reply?"

"Nope! It’s so odd!"

"Did you not offer them enough?"

"Impossible! I offered them an absolutely irresistible compensation package, they can’t say no!"
