Chapter 578: Chapter 350 There Can’t Be Garbage in the Trash Can (Subscription Required)_2

"Making trouble again!"

Ding Yue muttered, "It looks like we need to take a firm stance after we get clear on the situation this time!"

School development and construction is Ding Yue’s primary concern, but stability within the campus is also crucial.

Ding Yue had given students a boost to their studies, but there were always some students causing trouble. For instance, this time, they even clashed with the student council and their department heads. Wouldn’t they need a serious response to keep up appearances?

"This situation, it might not necessarily be the students’ fault." Huang Youjie suddenly said.

"Oh?"

At Huang’s words, Ding Yue slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean, Huang?"

"After the incident occurred, I went to the dormitory of the students involved and asked about the circumstances," Huang explained. "According to the students, the initial cause of the incident was a set of rules from the business school which incited everyone’s anger."

"Rules? What sort of rules?"

Ding Yue asked curiously.

"Just some everyday rules restricting student lifestyles, like having to get up at 7 am, internet cutoff at 11 pm, dormitory hygiene conditions, classroom etiquette, and so forth."

Huang Youjie answered.

He didn’t have specifics because Huang Youjie himself didn’t fully understand the business school’s rules for the students.

"Huh?"

Ding Yue’s brows furrowed tighter, questioning, "It seems that our school doesn’t have these hard rules for the students, right?"

"Indeed, we do not, but they are rules established by the business school," Huang Youjie nodded.

As for the management of the Mist City Arts and Science University, like the students’ educational development or large scale, beneficial student events, those were his focal points. General management issues were delegated to the department heads and various directors.

After all, Ding Yue had spent a lot of money to get these people to do their jobs; there is no way he should handle all university affairs, big or small, by himself.

What Ding Yue needed to do now was to orchestrate the big picture behind the scenes, with specific matters being handled by his subordinates according to his instructions.

This way, handing the management of various departments to the department heads, there really was no saying what kind of odd things they might come up with.

For example, Liu Qianxing, the department head of the School of Business and Administration, had actually "arranged" some regulations for the students.

From what he heard from Huang, these regulations probably displeased the students, which in turn led to conflict and ultimately resulted in the incident this morning.

"Principal Ding, specifically, let’s wait until Director Liu and the students arrive before we question them in detail."

Huang Youjie suggested.

"Hmm."

Ding Yue nodded. That was his plan as well.

After he understood the true reason and proceedings of the incident, he could then give a fair punishment. He couldn’t severely punish just because the students clashed with the department head.

Such behaviour of not distinguishing right from wrong is not Ding Yue’s style, and doing so would also lose him the hearts of the people.

About ten minutes later, several students from the School of Business and Administration arrived at the entrance of the principal’s office.

Knock, knock, knock!

The knocking sound resounded.

"Come in!"

A total of four students entered the office, all from dormitory number 235 of the School of Business and Administration.

After the four students entered, they all kept their heads down.

Seeing this, Ding Yue spoke seriously, "What are you all keeping your heads down for, look up."

All four students knew that they had violated the school rules and regulations by clashing with the department head. Being summoned by Principal Ding, they expected it could only mean punishment.

Upon hearing Principal Ding’s words, the four students raised their heads.

"Principal Ding, these are the four of them. From dorm number 235. Their names are Tang Qi, Sun Shengshan, Wang Lei, and Xiang Gong."

Wen Ruohan hurriedly handed the printed student information to Principal Ding.

Ding Yue glanced at the four students’ records. Their academic performances were relatively good and not below average at all.

The four of them are now sophomores at the university, they’ve been studying for over a year, and although their academic performance isn’t outstanding, they should have no problem graduating smoothly from Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Tell me, what happened this morning in your dormitory? Some conflict with the department leaders and the student union?"

Ding Yue lifts his head, gazing seriously at Tang Qi and Sun Shengshan as he asks them.

While the Business School’s Director Liu Qianxing and others haven’t arrived yet, Ding Yue decided to hear the situation from these four students first.

"Principal Ding, we realize we were wrong. It was indeed a momentary impulse that led to the conflict with Director Liu and others. However, we just couldn’t accept the regulations they’ve set!"

Among the four, the student named Sun Shengshan is the first to speak up.

Acknowledging their mistake shows their good attitude.

Ding Yue responds with a slight nod, then asks, "What rules has Director Liu set for your Business School? The school doesn’t have any hard and fast rules for the students."

The school would not impose any overly rigid rules on everyone. After all, the university campus is precisely the stage where students’ minds are opened and their thoughts activated. It can’t be managed like high school with its highly constraining system.

Universities usually provide students with relative freedom, whether it’s waking up in the morning or going to sleep at night; they can arrange these things themselves.

"Principal Ding, in the rules set by Director Liu, they require students in the Business School to cut off the internet and rest at 11 p.m., and we must wake up at 7 a.m. whether or not we have classes!"

Wang Lei, one of the students, also speaks up.

This rule seems quite unreasonable. All students have to get up at 7 am, regardless of whether they have classes or not? Isn’t this a joke!

For college students who have no morning classes, being able to sleep naturally until they awake is an absolute treat and a joyous thing.

And the Business School actually has a rule that students must get up at 7 am?

Regardless of whether there are classes or not?

Wen Ruohan and Huang Youjie all shake their heads at such rules.

"The students’ wake-up times are closely related to their class schedules. How can there be such strict regulations!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue chastises.

"Principal Ding, that’s not all. Our Business School also has rules that no textbooks are allowed on the desks, no garbage in garbage cans, no one can lie on the beds, and even when we have no classes during class hours, we’re not allowed to return to the dormitory... Director Liu inspects with the student council every day."

Student Tang Qi continues to add.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue is taken aback.

Just what kind of bizarre rules are these?

"Yue, I’ve heard about some weird university rules before, but I didn’t expect our school to have such absurd ones too," Huang Youjie whispers in Ding Yue’s ear.

"What on earth is this Liu Qianxing up to all day?" Ding Yue fumes upon hearing this.

Such rules are simply looking for trouble!

To think that these criticized regulations are being enforced in the Business School of his own school, Ding Yue feels absolutely mortified!

It’s clear that Ding Yue didn’t know about the regulations that the Business School had imposed on its students, probably because these were specific regulations given by the school to its students without informing Ding Yue.

It’s true what they say - the mountains are high and the emperor is far away!

If the Business School has such regulations for the students under its jurisdiction, no wonder there was such a conflict today.

If Ding Yue were a student, he wouldn’t be able to tolerate it either!

At this point, Liu Qianxing from the Business Administration School, along with Tang Qi’s counselor and a person in charge from the student union who was present at the time, arrive at the Principal’s office.

"Principal Ding, you wanted to see me?"

As Liu Qianxing enters the office and spots Tang Qi and the others, he immediately understands why Principal Ding has called him here.

Liu Qianxing had a vague idea about the situation beforehand. After all, it would have been impossible for the morning’s incident not to have reached Principal Ding.

"Director Liu, come, come here!" Ding Yue gestures for Liu Qianxing to approach.
