Instead, Xu Dongcheng greatly appreciated Ding Yue’s capabilities in the field of private education!

"Thank you, Principal Xu. Your Westlight University is actually the role model for us private universities," Ding Yue modestly said to Xu Dongcheng.

Under normal circumstances, mutual flattery is a common approach at a conference such as the National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference, isn’t it?

Upon meeting Ding Yue, Principal Xu Dongcheng praised him. Of course, Ding Yue, seeing the situation, reciprocated the praise.

Thus, the two principals got to know each other amidst laughter.

"Principal Ding, your school’s attempts at introducing new majors are quite refreshing. Could you tell me about the current situation and effects of your newly instituted majors?"

Seeing Ding Yue sitting next to him, Xu Dongcheng took the opportunity before the conference officially started to strike up a conversation with him.

In fact, Xu Dongcheng wanted to introduce new majors into his own Westlight University, just like Mist City Arts and Science University.

But he wasn’t sure if it would work. What if, after investing a considerable amount of funds into a new major, the enrollment effects were underwhelming?

Seeing Xu Dongcheng enquiring about new majors, Ding Yue guessed that Principal Xu might be hoping to gain some insights from him.

But honestly, Ding Yue would struggle to share any experience, because at Mist City Arts and Science University, none of their newly established departments or majors seemed to have achieved any particularly splendid performances, right?

There were a small number of people who achieved impressive results, such as the members of the FY team from the E-sports Game College, and Sun Chengkang from the National Arts specialty of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies.

Sun Chengkang recently defeated a Thai Boxing expert, reaffirming the legitimacy of Xia Country’s National Arts under the suppression of Thai Boxing, and therefore his popularity was soaring.

It seemed likely that Principal Xu Dongcheng was interested in the National Arts Major, right?

"Principal Xu, our school is also in the experimental stage for establishing new majors, but at present, it seems relatively stable, mainly because the teaching strength should be sufficient."

Ding Yue briefly explained to Principal Xu Dongcheng.

"You’ve got very interesting majors like National Arts and E-sports at your school. I believe these will definitely become popular new university majors in the future. Our Westlight University, after several meetings of the board of directors, also plans to introduce new majors."

Xu Dongcheng was quite straightforward; he spoke his mind when chatting with Ding Yue.

Seeing that Principal Xu was a decent person, Ding Yue nodded and said, "Indeed, it’s worth a try. But you need to consider one thing, Principal Xu. How will your university ensure the job placement of these new major students after graduation?"

Ding Yue couldn’t help but pose a "difficult to solve" problem to Xu Dongcheng.

Upon hearing this, Xu Dongcheng instantly paused.

Right!

This issue is indeed critical and should be carefully considered.

If a school blindly adds emerging majors, and if these majors don’t have promising job prospects, then the enrollment outcomes would obviously be lackluster, leading to a vicious circle.

So, Ding Yue’s comments on the employment issue for new majors like E-sports and National Arts made Xu Dongcheng reconsider.

At present, Westlight University was doing well in traditional majors, but enrollment in these majors is quite challenging for private universities, with fewer students enrolling every year. Therefore, Xu Dongcheng wanted to learn about the situation of emerging majors from Ding Yue.

If the prospects looked good, Westlight University might also consider establishing relevant emerging majors.

"So, Principal Xu, different schools have different circumstances. Perhaps these new majors like E-sports and National Arts are suitable for our Mist City Arts and Science University, but they might not be suitable for your Westlight University, because your university is more oriented towards traditional majors."

Ding Yue said to Principal Xu Dongcheng earnestly.

The gist of what he said was — I can do it, but you can’t!

Indeed.

Some of the new majors established at Mist City Arts and Science University can only be managed by Ding Yue. With his "Famous School System," Ding Yue can surpass boundaries, cultivate excellent students from new majors, and then recruit them into his own company, Feiyue Group, for related industry development.

This creates a series of positive cycles.

Just because Ding Yue has the ability, doesn’t mean that Xu Dongcheng has it too. Westlight University, despite being a deeply established private institution, might decline within a few years if they unpreparedly establish new emerging majors like E-sports or National Arts.

Upon hearing Ding Yue’s remarks, Xu Dongcheng felt that this young Principal Ding seemed to have a broad perspective.

"So, Principal Ding, how does your school ensure that students from these new majors can find good jobs after graduation?"

Xu Dongcheng couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Since you just mentioned that employment is an issue, why can your Mist City Arts and Science University do it? Do you have job placement channels or career pathways that you’re unwilling to share?

"Because I can provide them with jobs that match their majors!"

Ding Yue confidently responded.

"You can provide? There are a considerable number of students, aren’t there?" After hearing this, Xu Dongcheng couldn’t help but express his disbelief.

"Yes. The number of students in the new majors is indeed quite large. However, our Mist City Arts and Science University adheres to a policy of broad admission and strict graduation. Any student who can successfully graduate from our school will be excellent in their major!"
