The drizzling rain continued its steady fall for some time now.

The temperature also progressively dropped.

In the campus of Mist City Arts and Science University, tens of thousands of students gradually changed into their autumn and winter attire. Some students who couldn’t withstand the cold even put on their down jackets.

It seems like the weather in Mist City only knows how to be extremely hot or bone-chillingly cold, with only summers and winters, and no spring or autumn.

Compared to his usual attire, Ding Yue is sporting a white thin sweater today, paired with a long trench coat, both from Burberry. The ensemble gave him an understated yet refined aesthetic.

After dressing, he proceeds onto the expansive balcony in his apartment, as per his usual routine.

This balcony is crucial.

The reason Ding Yue chose to move his new living quarters to this location was due to it having this balcony.

When Ding Yue stands on this balcony, to his left, he can see the current campus of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Looking straight ahead reveals the distant Bookship Library.

On his right, he sees construction site after construction site, cranes towering high and construction vehicles continuously bustling about.

Ding Yue’s view was incredibly open.

He could see both the original 2500-acre campus and last year’s flagship construction project—the Bookship Library.

He could also see the west-side expansive construction sites where the second stage of expansion was being carried out comprehensively. Needless to say, the location of the Elegant Garden Apartment block was perfect.

The construction work for Mist City Arts and Science University is in full swing. Progress is being made, whether in the construction of the infrastructure, the improvement of the teaching standards of various departments and specialties, or the overall talent cultivation plan of the school. Everything is thriving and marching towards a brighter future.

Ding Yue thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.

The phenomenal growth that a major private university is achieving through his rigorous effort felt like reaping the fruits of his labor. This gives Ding Yue a sense of remarkable accomplishment.

Of course.

Another reason why Ding Yue is keen on building Mist City Arts and Science University is because he wants to know, once he achieves the ultimate goal of making it into a world-leading comprehensive university, what will the system reward him with?

The mere thought of it made him somewhat excited.

Just as Ding Yue was lost in his own contemplation, his cellphone placed on the living room table rang.

Ding Yue turned around to return to the living room and glanced at the caller ID—it was his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

Picking up the phone, Ding Yue promptly headed out the door.

"I’m about to enter the lift, so make it quick or we can talk later at the second cafeteria."

"Okay, Principal Ding, I have prepared the money. Are you heading to the second cafeteria for breakfast now?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

By the time Ding Yue left Elegant Garden No.1 and arrived at the second cafeteria, as he expected, he found his secretary, Wen Ruohan, already waiting for him.

"Good morning, Principal Ding."

Upon seeing Principal Ding approaching, Wen Ruohan greeted him warmly.

"It got colder, aren’t you feeling cold?"

Ding Yue scrutinized Wen Ruohan’s outfit, with her legs partially exposed beneath her long skirt. Women could go quite far in their pursuit of fashion.

"Hehe, no, I’m alright."

Wen Ruohan responded with a giggle and accompanied Principal Ding into the first floor of the second cafeteria.

Ding Yue found a spot and sat down while Wen Ruohan went to get their breakfast.

If Wen Ruohan came to the cafeteria with Principal Ding, she is usually responsible for getting his breakfast. Occasionally, when Principal Ding woke up late and slept in a little, she would buy his breakfast and deliver it to his apartment.

At times, Wen Ruohan felt it seemed she was not only Principal Ding’s office secretary but also, to some extent, his personal secretary, albeit with limited responsibilities—getting breakfast and bubble tea pretty much covered it.

However, Wen Ruohan noticed that lately, Principal Ding had been drinking less bubble tea. Instead, every morning at the second cafeteria, he’d have a hot soy milk, skipping the bubble tea.

"Principal Ding, seems like you’ve reduced your bubble tea intake and are having hot soy milk every morning. Is soy milk better than bubble tea?" Wen Ruohan asked curiously after getting their breakfast.

"Health reasons." Ding Yue responded nonchalantly.

Ding Yue now realized that drinking too much bubble tea wasn’t too good for his health.

"Let’s get down to business." Ding Yue said, while munching on a soup dumpling.

"Sure, Principal Ding. As of yesterday, our school’s ’Super Combat Team’ has brought in a total box office of 2.473 billion yuan in a month, and it has successfully obtained a key extension for another month. The box office for this extended month is estimated to be around 100 million yuan, bringing the total to 2.573 billion yuan." Wen Ruohan began to seriously report the issue at hand.

The reason for today’s report was because Principal Ding was about to distribute the bonus to the staff of Feiyue Animation Studio. That is, the 3% profit-sharing bonus promised by Principal Ding to the studio.

It was precisely because of Principal Ding’s 3% profit-sharing bonus that all members of Feiyue Animation Studio worked around the clock over a period of three to four months, managing to release the animated film ’Super Combat Team’ right before the National Holiday Period.

The final box office returns exceeded Ding Yue’s expectations.

Originally, Ding Yue thought that if ’Super Combat Team’ brought in several hundred million at the box office, he would make some money. And the 3% profit-sharing that he pledged to distribute among the members of Feiyue Animation Studio as motivation would amount to just several million yuan.
