"Dad, you can live comfortably at our university. Moreover, you can teach the art of Tenon-Mortise Craftsmanship to our students. We have a college dedicated to teaching classical education at our school."
In his dorm room, Liu Ping suggested to his father, Liu Yongzhi, to stay at the Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
Liu Yongzhi nodded.
He had been inside for eighteen years, slightly disconnected from the outside world. However, his son had grown up and was much more familiar with the outside world. Therefore, for crucial decisions like this, Liu Yongzhi chose to listen to Liu Ping’s suggestions.
"I’m profoundly grateful to Principal Ding. You must study well in the future, do you understand?" Liu Yongzhi’s gratitude was nearly visible on his face.
"Yes, I certainly will. After I graduate from college, I can work at Principal Ding’s company, continue to contribute to Principal Ding, or I can remain at the school and contribute to the school’s legal affairs."
Liu Ping had all figured out.
With his father Liu Yongzhi teaching the craft of Tenon-Mortise Craftsmanship at the Mist City Arts and Science University, he would focus on learning the law, striving to contribute to the Mist City Arts and Science University and Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group in the future, as a way of returning the favor to Principal Ding.
That was Liu Ping’s long-term plan. Additionally, Liu Ping had another plan, which was to write about his thoughts as the protagonist of this latest news event, letting the public know about his university - Mist City Arts and Science University, and how the Principal Ding Yue had helped him.
Consider it as Liu Ping’s personal recount.
"Dad, get familiar with the surroundings first. I have something else to do." After Liu Ping finished speaking, he picked up his phone from a corner and started to work on a piece of writing.
In Principal Ding’s office in the Administration Building.
Ding Yue met the journalism major students, Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, and Peng Hui.
Tian Jinliang and Chu Xiao were two male students. Tian was tall and sturdy while Chu looked pretty handsome.
Wang Xiaoping and Peng Hui were two female students.
Wang Xiaoping appeared very modest, while Peng Hui wore a pair of spectacles and seemed scholarly. However, Ding Yue felt Peng Hui was probably a straightforward girl.
"What did you learn from your trip to X County with Editor Lu?"
Ding Yue asked the four students with a smile.
"Principal Ding, thanks for this amazing opportunity given by the school. To be able to go with the NTS news team for investigation has been extremely exciting for me!"
Peng Hui raised her hand and happily responded.
As Ding Yue had suspected, from Peng Hui’s enthusiasm and her cheerful tone, she was indeed a straightforward girl.
"It was an excellent opportunity, and the four of you are the top students in the major of Journalism and Media, so you were selected to go." Ding Yue explained simply.
"Principal Ding, this was the first time I had witnessed a professional reporter work up close. It was a huge learning experience for me. Moreover, I did more than just observing. I also participated in some of the research and investigation. I completed the tasks as well, and if I were to grade myself, I would give a pass!"
Tian Jinliang said humbly but was also pleased with his performance.
"Hmm, what about you, Chu Xiao?" Having heard from Tian Jinliang, Ding Yue directed his attention to Chu Xiao.
Although Chu Xiao looked outgoing, he was quite an introverted boy once he started speaking. However, as he was studying journalism, he purposefully made his voice sound louder: "Principal Ding, I’ve also learned a lot."
Chu Xiao didn’t appear to be very assertive, but Lu Jianan had told him that Chu Xiao was very competent. Even if Chu Xiao was asked to prepare a news report alone, he could do it systematically. Such execution ability was among the best Lu Jianan had seen.
Ding Yue nodded in satisfaction: "Wang Xiaoping, how about you?"
Only Wang Xiaoping hadn’t spoken yet.
When Wang Xiaoping heard Principal Ding call her name, she raised her head and said modestly, "Principal Ding, I...I have gathered a lot of information on the professional reporting procedures of the NTS news team. Besides, I’ve also learned a lot of interviewing skills from sister Li."
The "sister Li" that Wang Xiaoping referred to must be Xiao Li, the reporter responsible for interviews from Lu Jianan’s team.
Seeing that the four of them had gained a lot, Ding Yue said with a smile, "It seems that you’ve all benefited greatly from this internship. Actually, Editor Lu also talked to me about your performances."
As Ding Yue finished speaking, Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, and Peng Hui stretched their necks and widened their eyes, eagerly waiting for Principal Ding to reveal Editor Lu’s assessment of them.
Because Editor Lu hadn’t shared their performance throughout the internship, all four were keen to know his assessment.
"Want to know?"
Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Ding Yue asked with a smile.
"Uh huh!"
The four students nodded in unison.
"Editor Lu has given you all decent evaluations." Ding Yue did not go into detail about Lu’s evaluation of Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, and Peng Hui. He just gave a general overview.
The four of them broke into smiles immediately upon hearing this.
As a student majoring in journalism and media, what could be more exciting than receiving commendation from the editor-in-chief of NTS News Channel?
Perhaps only winning some sort of major news award!
"You all have strong personal abilities and good teamwork, solid foundation in journalism and media knowledge. As excellent students of journalism and media, I have high hopes for your future."
Ding Yue also praised the four students, Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, and Peng Hui.
Hearing this, they became even happier. Not only had Editor Lu given excellent evaluations, but even Principal Ding had expressed high hopes for them.
"Considering your outstanding abilities in journalism and media, the school has decided to set up a journalism department, and form a team with you as the initial members, to promote and develop our journalism activities at Mist City Arts and Science University. Meanwhile, this journalism department will also serve as a paid media department of my company, Feiyue Group. What do you think, are you interested?"
Ding Yue finally shared his thoughts on the news agency with the four students, Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, and Peng Hui.
As long as they agreed, Feiyue News at Mist City Arts and Science University could officially start preparation.
What remained was the process of obtaining necessary qualifications. Editor Lu had also pointed out that obtaining relevant news broadcasting qualifications wouldn’t be a big challenge as Mist City Arts and Science University offered a journalism and media major.
"Wow!"
Tian Jinliang couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when he heard the news.
"Principal Ding, I’m in!" Peng Hui exclaimed with joy.
Even the ordinarily reserved Chu Xiao, couldn’t hide his excitement, and asked, "Principal Ding, do you mean you want us to form a news department?"
"That’s right," Ding Yue nodded and answered.
"Isn’t that wonderful? Principal Ding, is this your way of supporting our journalism and media major?" Wang Xiaoping asked, thrilled.
"I suppose so, but first, the school needs to apply for the relevant news qualifications. You should prepare well for when we receive the qualifications, after which you can start doing journalism. Additionally, press cards are crucial for interviews. So, you should attempt to achieve reporter credentials."
Ding Yue reminded the students: Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, Peng Hui.
"Understood, I will definitely strive to obtain my reporter’s card!"
"Me too!"
The students responded with a solemn promise.
Seeing their full confidence, Ding Yue looked forward to their building up Feiyue News successfully. If not the leading news outlet in the country, at least it should make a name for itself in Mist City, right?
"Additionally, once the news department is set up, you can follow up with a report on Liu Ping’s father. Editor Lu has agreed to assign the follow-up reporting task to you all," said Principal Ding to the four.
"Okay!"
"No problem!"
"Did Liu Ping agree to this?"
Observing a confused student, Ding Yue explained, "Liu Ping and his father have both agreed to this."
Ding Yue then gave the four of them a few more instructions. For example, if they felt understaffed, they could select a few capable students from their journalism and media classes. This news department setup was an opportunity for their development. As for how well they could do, it would depend on their talents.
If Tian Jinliang, Wang Xiaoping, Chu Xiao, and Peng Hui could do well, then Feiyue Group could have their own news department in the future, much like the Penguin Group’s Penguin News. Although not an official news outlet, it still counts as an enterprise-level news organization.
The four students, filled with confidence, finally left Principal Ding’s office, getting ready for a new Chapter upon their return.
After the four left, secretary Wen Ruohan, phone in hand, approached Ding Yue and said, "Principal Ding, Liu Ping posted a long article on Twitter, and it seems to be gaining a lot of attention."
While Principal Ding was talking with the four students, Wen Ruohan, having nothing much to do, was scrolling through Twitter. She stumbled upon a trending topic related to Mist City Arts and Science University.
Upon opening the trending topic, she found a long article posted by Liu Ping on Twitter. It brought in many netizens to read and discuss it.
The article was titled "A Student’s Account: My Father and My School"....
