Chapter 339: Chapter 226: You Can Rely on Diligence and Economy to Go to College (Third update please subscribe)_1

At daybreak on August 23rd,

After Ding Yue woke up, he specifically went to Liu Ping’s bedroom to wake him up.

The two of them had been discussing the Tenon-Mortise Craftsmanship late into the night.

However,

When Ding Yue moved from the bedroom to the living room, he discovered that the sofa, which had been made a mess by working on the Luban Lock last night, was now very tidy.

The floor, which was originally covered in wood shavings, was now also very clean. Obviously, someone had cleaned up the mess.

Without needing to ask, Ding Yue could tell that it was Liu Ping.

No one else would show up this early in his room, apart from his sister Ding Xiaoyou, right?

That’s obviously not likely as she might still be sleeping.

As the top student at Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue had already registered her at the university, meaning she did not have to sign up, register, or even pay fees, unlike the other students.

"Liu Ping."

Ding Yue arrived at the bedroom door and called, but there was no response.

"Still asleep?"

Ding Yue quietly mumbled, thinking that maybe because Liu Ping had been up late cleaning the living room, he hadn’t been able to wake up yet.

But after checking the time, Ding Yue decided to wake Liu Ping and bring him to register his name for the day.

So Ding Yue knocked on the bedroom door. Once he received no response, he finally opened the door only to find the bedroom empty.

The bed was perfectly made and Liu Ping’s luggage was still in the room.

"Huh? Where is he?"

Ding Yue looked puzzled, where on earth could he be?

Could he be in the bathroom?

Ding Yue looked toward the bathroom, but saw no one.

Just then he noticed the door of the apartment had been left ajar. On entering to take a closer look, Liu Ping appeared from outside.

"Principal Ding, I went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast. I specifically asked the auntie at the cafeteria to list your favorite dishes and bought them."

Liu Ping came in carrying a big bag of breakfast, filled with Ding Yue’s favorite meat buns and the like.

"Good going."

With a smile, Ding Yue gave a nod, suddenly realizing Liu Ping seemed a lot like his own secretary?

Wouldn’t these chores usually be done by his secretary, Wen Ruohan, on a regular day?

"I wondered where you’d disappeared to." As he sat at the dining table, Ding Yue said while eating his breakfast.

"Principal Ding, the dumplings at the school cafeteria are so good and even relatively cheap," Liu Ping exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Lunch and dinner here are also pretty good and cheap," Ding Yue shrugged and said with a smile, "After breakfast, I’ll take you to register your name, then we can deal with your lodgings. I take it you brought your own bed linens and stuff?"

"Mm-hmm."

Liu Ping gave a nod in affirmation.

"In that case, you can save on the cost of bedclothes for your dormitory. Also, are you planning to work part-time while studying? Our school offers a lot of part-time jobs, and the wages aren’t bad either."

Ding Yue brought up the topic of student jobs with Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was very enthusiastic about working part-time, and nodded eagerly, "Yes, Principal Ding. What could I do?"

"The cafeteria, the supermarket, a hotpot restaurant, the library. All these places are potentially available but the income there is relatively low."

While saying this, an idea began to form in Ding Yue’s mind.

Liu Ping, who has some experience in Tenon-Mortise Craftsmanship, might be able to start a live stream session?

The money he could earn from that should be more than what he’d potentially earn from working part time at the cafeteria, library, supermarket or any other places, which would allow him to complete his studies without major financial issues. Most importantly, he’d also be able to promote the traditional craftsmanship of Xia Country’s Tenon-Mortise!

However, this would require some planning, and Ding Yue wouldn’t want him to rush into it blindly. He’d need to familiarize himself with it and prepare.

Therefore, if Liu Ping wants to work part-time, Ding Yue thinks he’d better start searching for a part-time job on campus first.

"That’s fine, besides classes and woodworking, I should have plenty of time left. I can do anything."

Liu Ping seemed pretty organized, not wanting to waste a single second of his time in college.

"Okay, then you start looking for a suitable part-time job for students. The school will arrange something later on."

What Ding Yue meant was to let Liu Ping take a shot at a live stream showcasing his Tenon-Mortise Craftsmanship later on.

"Uh huh."

Liu Ping responded earnestly.

"By the way, do you have any difficulty with tuition fees?" Ding Yue recalled the matter of tuition fees, and asked out of curiosity.

It’s not that failing to pay tuition will prevent you from studying. Every university has supportive policies in place for impoverished students.

The most well-known is the student loan policy.

Student loans practically have no interest fees, and they were made to ensure that underprivileged students can successfully complete their studies.

Mist City Arts and Science University, although a private institution, also grants student loans. Ding Yue had made a point of mentioning this to Qi Chunsheng, the head of the Finance and Academic Affairs office, yesterday.

"I have sold my family’s house and the 20,000 yuan will be used to pay the 25,000 yuan tuition. I worked on a construction site during the summer break to make up the rest."

Liu Ping answered.

"And what about next year or the coming years? If you only rely on your part-time work, you should barely be able to cover the cost of living. But don’t worry, the school does provide student loans, which are interest-free. After you start earning money, you can repay the student loan. There are good policies for that from both the state and the school."

Ding Yue mentioned the idea of a student loan to Liu Ping.

"Thank you, Principal Ding. Can I apply for a student loan?" Liu Ping asked cautiously.

"Of course you can, as long as you successfully complete your studies at Mist City Arts and Science University." Ding Yue said with a smile, "You can finish college just by working part-time and getting a student loan. But remember, you need to work hard in college."

"You can rest assured, Principal Ding. I will definitely study law diligently!" Liu Ping said with a determined expression.

"Liu Ping, how did you come to choose law? Do you really like law?" Ding Yue was particularly curious.

He wanted to ask this question last night, but they were busy talking about tenon-mortise craftsmanship that he forgot.

But now Ding Yue couldn’t hold back anymore, because Liu Ping looked particularly passionate about studying law.

Has he dreamt of becoming lawyer or judge since he was a child?

"Yue."

All of a sudden, Huang Youjie’s voice came from the entrance of the apartment.

"Come in, come in. It’s great you’re here. I’d like to introduce you to this student. He’ll be your junior in the Law Department."

Ding Yue called Huang over, pointed to Liu Ping with a smile, and introduced him.
