Chapter 696: Chapter 407: Others’ Winter Vacation (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

The winter vacation begins early, much to the delight of not only the students but also the teachers and directors from all departments. After all, who wouldn’t want to start their holiday earlier?

"Director Qi, you can send out the notice now. This semester’s vacation will start on January 12 and it’ll end on March 5, the official start of school."

Ding Yue instructed.

"Very well, Principal Ding, I’ll go prepare the notice now."

After Qi Chunsheng left, Wen Ruohan, the secretary, just got back from her final exam for a course in her Secretarial Studies major.

"Xiao Wen, are you done with your exam?" Ding Yue asked with a smile upon seeing Wen Ruohan’s return.

"Uh huh."

"How did you do?" Ding Yue casually asked.

"Hehehe, definitely no problem at all. I think, barring any unexpected circumstances, I’ll get a scholarship from the school again next year. I’m so happy."

Wen Ruohan’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

Her academic performance in Secretarial Studies would qualify as more than just decent. Moreover, she has earned a scholarship from the school.

It’s worth noting that scholarships from Mist City Arts and Science University are only awarded to students with exceptional academic performance.

The fact that Wen Ruohan can study so well while also being such an effective personal secretary is truly impressive.

"That’s good." Ding Yue expressed his happiness by nodding his head: "Just now, Director Qi Chunsheng came and discussed the vacation arrangement with me."

"Wow, Principal Ding, we’re finally talking about the vacation schedule? When do we start and how long is it?"

Upon hearing Principal Ding mention the holiday, Wen Ruohan excitingly asked.

Seeing Wen Ruohan so interested in the vacation schedule, Ding Yue simply smiled and said, "Make me a cup of tea, and I’ll tell you about the vacation schedule."

"Okay."

Wen Ruohan nodded and then turned to the robot Big White in the office, saying, "Big White, make a cup of green tea for Principal Ding."

Well, well, well.

This girl Wen Ruohan even knows how to play her cards right. Didn’t Ding Yue ask her to make a cup of tea just now?

Big White stepped out of the red metal box and started to make tea for its master Principal Ding according to Wen Ruohan’s instruction.

"Principal Ding, hurry up and tell, when does our vacation start?" Wen Ruohan blinked her sparkling eyes, asking curiously.

"The holiday begins on January 12. Of course, the exact dates vary across departments and majors. Some majors and departments finish their exams early, while others finish a bit later, but the difference won’t be more than a week."

Ding Yue shrugged casually and told Wen Ruohan about the vacation dates.

"Wow! Vacation starts on January 12? That’s so early. The last exam for our Secretarial Studies major is on the 14th, so does that mean I can go home once the exam is over on the 14th?" Wen Ruohan was instantly thrilled to hear it.

"Uh huh, Xiao Wen, do you have any plans for going home for the Lunar New Year?" Seeing Wen Ruohan looking so happy about the early holiday, Ding Yue casually asked.

"Um..."

Wen Ruohan hesitated for a moment and then mumbled, "Actually... I don’t really want to go home for the Lunar New Year."

"Huh?"

Ding Yue heard Wen Ruohan mumbling about not wanting to go home for Lunar New Year?

"Yes, I don’t want to go home this year." Wen Ruohan took a deep breath, said firmly, and then turned to Principal Ding to ask, "Principal Ding, those who don’t go home for the holiday can stay in school, right?"

"Of course, they can. But the question is, why don’t you want to go home for Lunar New Year? If I remember correctly, you did go home for the holiday during last year’s winter vacation, right?"

Ding Yue was very curious.

What happened to Wen Ruohan?

Why has she suddenly decided not to go home for Lunar New Year this year?

"It’s so annoying. If I go home, I’ll see my parents arguing all day, every day. It’s like listening to a machine gun."

Wen Ruohan said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately understood. So it turns out that her parents are having conflicts.

"Alright, Xiao Wen. If you don’t want to go home this winter vacation, you can stay at school. It’s also quite inconvenient for me without my handy secretary during the holidays." Ding Yue laughed and gently said to Wen Ruohan.

As for what’s going on with Wen Ruohan’s family, Ding Yue didn’t pry further. As long as she makes up her mind whether to go home for Lunar New Year during the winter vacation, it’s alright. He’s an outsider and shouldn’t intervene too much.

"So, Principal Ding, how long will our vacation be? When will school start again?"

Wen Ruohan asked curiously.

"On the 5th." Ding Yue answered.

"What! The 5th? Is New Year’s over by then?" Wen Ruohan was completely flabbergasted when she heard this.

Winter vacation starts on the 12th and school starts again on the 5th? Only 23 days off?

It couldn’t possibly be that school starts on March 5th, could it?

Ding Yue then rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I mean March 5th!"

"Ah! So it really is the 5th of March!" Wen Ruohan almost thought she had misheard.

Winter vacation starts on January 12th and school starts on March 5th. How many days of winter vacation is that?

Wen Ruohan started doing the math in her head.

Then, Principal Ding suddenly announced: "It’s 51 days in total."

"My God, fifty-one days! The winter vacation is almost as long as the summer vacation. This is so cool!" Wen Ruohan exclaimed excitedly.

At this point, the official websites, forums, and public accounts of Mist City Arts and Science University had all issued a notice about the 2022 winter vacation.

When students first looked at the start and end dates of the vacation, they thought they had misread.

Winter vacation starts on January 12th and school starts again on March 5th. This was a luxury winter vacation!

"Damn! Vacation starts on the 12th! 51 days off! This is awesome!"

"I thought I was seeing things."

"Awesome, a 51-day vacation, Principal Ding rocks!"

"What? Fifty-one days for Winter break? I didn’t mishear, did I? Are you sure it’s not the summer vacation duration?"

"Hahaha, I know a guy from a university in the neighboring University Town whose winter vacation is only 27 days. That’s hilarious to me."

"This vacation is so comfortable. I can travel before the New Year, then go home for the Spring Festival, and then travel again after the New Year. How cool is that!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I also planned to travel both before and after the New Year since seeing the winter vacation schedule."

The students of Mist City Arts and Science University were absolutely thrilled with this winter vacation arrangement—they felt as if they were already celebrating the New Year.

Soon enough,

The winter vacation schedule of Mist City Arts and Science University started circulating in the chat groups of students from other universities.

Someone even made a winter vacation timetable for universities in Mist City—
