After hearing what Director Jia Nong had to say, Ding Yue understood what he meant.

It seems that he’s searching for another "call to arms".

Just like the film and television academy before, the students had seen the mechanical department, computer department, architecture academy and other departments of Mist City Arts and Science University receiving strong financial support from Ding Yue.

Thus, the film and television academy students also wanted such an opportunity, leading to Zhu Youzhao, the dean of the film and television academy, approaching Principal Ding about it.

At that time, Ding Yue gave an opportunity to the proactive film and television academy, investing several millions of yuan for them to make a documentary.

The students and teachers of the film and television academy managed to produce it despite several setbacks, and even won the Documentary Gold Medal at the NTS Gala last year, and also renewed the contract for the second season of "A Bite of Xia Country" with NTS.

The film and television academy could be considered a successful example of this "call to arms".

Now that Jia Nong has come to Ding Yue, he is also hoping for Ding Yue to provide the same opportunity to the agricultural college.

Ding Yue pondered over it and decided it wouldn’t hurt.

He just happened to have received a mission from his system that was perfectly suited for the agricultural college to undertake, so Ding Yue decided to discuss it fully with Jia Nong.

"Director Jia, the matter you brought up does indeed require meaningful attention from the school. After all, the students of the agricultural college need more than theoretical knowledge from textbooks. They also need firsthand experience and practice,"

Ding Yue calmly said to Jia Nong.

Upon hearing this, Jia Nong was overjoyed, thinking that things seemed promising: "Yes, yes, yes, Principal Ding, you’re absolutely right."

"However..."

Ding Yue suddenly changed the topic, causing Jia Nong to pause abruptly.

Ding Yue revealed an expression of helplessness and said to Jia Nong: "Director Jia, as you know, the school’s current budget is a bit strained. We are carrying out a large-scale extension project which requires a considerable expenditure, and we also have several major projects that are quite costly."

Jia Nong of course knew of this. Although he didn’t know what the major projects were, he was aware of their existence, projects that the mechanical department, medical college, computer department, and film and television academy were undertaking.

"Yes, indeed... well, I understand, Principal Ding." Upon hearing Principal Ding’s words, Jia Nong did not dare to hope for more.

If Principal Ding can’t spare any funds, even if he had made the request on behalf of the students of the agricultural college for an agricultural practice base, it would be useless.

"Director Jia, don’t be so pessimistic." Ding Yue stretched out his hand, signalling for Jia Nong to stabilize his emotions, as he sounded quite discouraged.

Am I, the principal of a university, that disappointing?

"Huh?"

Jia Nong looked up, utterly confused by Principal Ding’s words.

"Although the school’s current funds are a bit tight, we could still consider allocating some money to establish a modern Ecological Agriculture Garden for the agricultural college." As Ding Yue said this, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Jia Nong was ecstatic: "Principal Ding, are you serious?"

"Ahem, Director Jia, has my word ever been unfulfilled?" Ding Yue gave a light cough, shooting a glance at Director Jia Nong.

"Of course, Principal Ding’s words have always been unambiguous!" Jia Nong hastily nodded.

Jia Nong, who has held the position of director of the agricultural college at Mist City Arts and Science University for some time, was well aware that Principal Ding always kept his word. When it came to giving rewards, Principal Ding has always been generous.

"How much money will it need, roughly?"

Ding Yue turned his serious gaze towards Director Jia Nong, asking.

"The current size and teaching scale of our agricultural college are not very large, therefore our planned modern ecological agriculture garden - a base for our students to operate, does not need to be large either, in total it would be around 5 acres, and capital-wise it would require between 10 and 20 million yuan."

Jia Nong hastily briefed Principal Ding.

Since he was representing the students to request an operation base at the agricultural college from Principal Ding, he was certainly prepared.

"5 acres, more than 10 million, too small," Ding Yue laughed and shook his head.

"Huh?"

Jia Nong was stunned, completely puzzled by Principal Ding’s words.

In reality, establishing an agricultural garden with 5 acres of land would already meet the needs of the agricultural college.

With a confident smile, Ding Yue confidently said to Jia Nong: "Director Jia, our Mist City Arts and Science University will have more and more students interested in the agriculture and forestry industry. Making strides in modern ecological agriculture and cultivation is also a long-term goal for our Xia Country. With this in mind, why not build a larger agricultural garden for our students to practice and operate?"

So that’s what Principal Ding meant!

After hearing this, Jia Nong couldn’t help but admire Principal Ding’s vision for the future.

Jia Nong had realistically only considered the present situation, thinking a 5-acre modern ecological agricultural garden would be enough for the agricultural college, but he hadn’t thought about the future at all.

"Principal Ding, you’re exactly right, how large do you think we should build our modern ecological agriculture garden?" Jia Nong turned to stare at Principal Ding, asking in all seriousness.
