Chapter 645: Chapter 382: Big Surprise for the New Year! (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

For Tong Yihang, the most important thing at the moment is to work on the photolithography machine experiment project with Teacher Luo Peng and the others.

Moreover, Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Yang Jie have all decided that even after starting their postgraduate studies, their main research area will be related to precision machinery processing in photolithography machines.

"Okay, everyone should continue to watch the New Year’s Eve Gala. Those who don’t want to watch the gala can go back and rest early."

After instructing these seven students, Ding Yue felt much more at ease in his heart.

As for Huang and Bin, he naturally didn’t need to worry about them.

Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Yang Jie, Chen Jun, Liu Chuanjie, Xia Qing, and Lin Zhirou were about to leave.

At this moment, Ding Yue suddenly called Lin Zhirou: "Lin Zhirou, can you stay behind for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirou stopped in her tracks and turned around, "Principal Ding, is there anything else?"

Ding Yue glanced at Huang, Bin, Secretary Wen Ruohan and others, promptly hinted with his eyes, and said, "Aren’t you guys going to watch the New Year’s Eve Gala? The performances are splendid!"

The air was silent for a moment.

"Oh, yes, watching the New Year’s Eve Gala. Let’s go, Huang, let’s go watch it together. Secretary Wen, you come too."

Bin was smart, he instantly understood Ding Yue’s meaning, and pulled at Huang, calling on Secretary Wen Ruohan before leaving.

Now, only Ding Yue and Lin Zhirou were left in the lounge.

"Student Lin Zhirou, your performance over the past year has been commendable," Ding Yue started by affirming Lin Zhirou’s "achievements".

Lin Zhirou’s achievements were naturally commendable. Over the past year, she had become the most popular artist and student in both Feiyue Media and the Art Department of Mist City Arts and Science University.

In particular, Ding Yue’s decision to release the three songs that he had given Lin Zhirou one by one over the year had resulted in a great success.

Whether it was the sales of the three songs, especially "Blue and White Porcelain", which had become widely popular since its release on Double Eleven, or the increase in Lin Zhirou’s popularity, both were soaring.

Now, Lin Zhirou’s popularity was no less than that of a first-rate star; she could be said to be the strongest dark horse artist of the year.

"Thank you for your affirmation and support, Principal Ding," Lin Zhirou said humbly and gently, "Without Principal Ding, I also..."

Ding Yue suddenly raised his hand, indicating that Lin Zhirou need not say anything more: "Your success is also inseparable from your own hard work. How’s the Spring Festival Gala coming along? I have been pretty busy with school affairs lately and haven’t had the chance to follow up on it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirou nodded gently and replied, "Hmm, I had been to Yancheng twice during this period. I have met with Director Li and we have had a preliminary rehearsal. Director Li is quite satisfied with my performance. Starting from January, I will be officially participating in all rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala."

"Perform well. The Spring Festival Gala is an excellent platforming opportunity," Ding Yue said with a smile, "I hope that when New Year’s Eve comes, I can watch your performance on TV and see you become a highlight of the Spring Festival Gala."

"Hmm, I will try my best not to let Principal Ding down."

"Let’s have a further discussion about your arrangements under Feiyue Media next year...."

...

Mist City Arts and Science University’s New Year’s Eve Gala this year was richly diverse, with more and more students from the Art Department actively participating in the New Year’s performance.

After the New Year’s Eve performance on the evening of the 31st, the students either went back to their dormitories or left campus with their boyfriends or girlfriends to go to the various hotels in University Town.

This night was a meaningful New Year’s Eve for young people.

Those who are single simply played some games.

As for the couples....

It was worth mentioning that tonight, almost nine out of ten dorm rooms in Mist City Fine Arts College, which was across from Mist City Arts and Science University, were vacant.

The dawn of January 1, 2022, came in the blink of an eye.

As today was the New Year’s Day holiday, Ding Yue was able to sleep in until almost noon.

After waking up and looking at his Mist City Arts and Science University and the towering buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

The second phase of the Mist City Arts and Science University campus expansion project had already been underway for some time.

The construction of buildings such as dormitories and teaching buildings had also started, and the progress of the project was smooth.

"I can’t believe it’s 2022."

Ding Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn’t help but sigh.

I had planned to go out on the balcony to take a good look at my Mist City Arts and Science University.

But...

The weather was truly a bit cold. I’d surely catch a cold if I went out there, wouldn’t I?

Feeling extremely good, Ding Yue reflected on the fact that it was already 2022 and started planning for his Mist City Arts and Science University.

As 2022 entered a new Chapter, Mist City Arts and Science University also needed to set a goal for itself.

For example, in 2022, we aim to recruit more freshmen, expand the team of Mist City Arts and Science University, and cultivate more talents.

Of course, Ding Yue’s biggest goal for 2022 is to upgrade his Mist City Arts and Science University to the Lv3 "Well-known" level.

Once he reaches the Lv3 "Well-known" level, Ding Yue will unlock many more good things.

Not long after waking up, Ding Yue received a call from his secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Hello, Principal Ding, are you awake?"

"Um, isn’t it a holiday today? I just slept in. What’s the matter?" Ding Yue asked after answering the phone.

"Ah, this morning, Sister Jiuge came to the office looking for you, but you weren’t there, so I thought I’d let you know." Wen Ruohan explained.

"Xu Jiuge?"

Ding Yue murmured, then said, "Alright, understood."

Ding!

Suddenly, as Ding Yue finished his sentence, a sound rang in his mind.

It was a sound he was very familiar with and greatly enjoyed.

"Congratulations, Host, for completing the [Key Level Professional] task!"

Whoosh!

With the system’s prompt, Ding Yue was presented with a system panel-

"[Key Level Professional] Task content: Confirm and implement at least 5 majors in Mist City Arts and Science University to reach the province-level key major quality!"

Task progress: 5/5 completed!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward for the [Key Level Professional] task: [Advanced Laboratory Room +1], [Lv3 University Treasure Chest +1], [Master’s Degree Authorization Card]+5, and reputation points+500!"

The task is complete?

Ding Yue was stunned for a long time, unable to recover.

This [Key Level Professional] task was Ding Yue’s biggest task at the moment, and also the one with the most generous rewards.

A lot of Ding Yue’s previous work was aimed at completing this task.

For example, starting from attending the National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference, many departments and majors later established cooperation and exchange relations with other universities.

With Ding Yue’s substantial investment in these departments, he finally managed to achieve the provincial key major quality assessed by the system.

Now, the system has deemed this task completed and released the rewards!

The first day of the new year has surprisingly brought me such a big surprise?

Ding Yue was overjoyed, but quickly calmed down. After calming down, he remembered what his secretary Wen Ruohan had mentioned earlier about Xu Jiuge from Feiyue Animation Studio looking for him this morning.

Could it be...

Xu Jiuge got it done?

Previously, this task of Ding Yue’s was just a little short of reaching 100% progress for the animation major.

Now that the task is completed, it means Xu Jiuge has succeeded. Did she convince her professor at Guangcheng Media University to come to Mist City Arts and Science University?

"Hello, Principal Ding? Are you there?" Wen Ruohan carefully asked after a while of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Ah, I’m listening. Wen Ruohan, ask Jiuge to come to my apartment directly, and by the way, help me get a meal from the cafeteria."

The weather was too cold, and Ding Yue didn’t want to go out.
