Chapter 803: Chapter 460: A Good Research Environment (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

"After we at Mist City Arts and Science University developed the medical healthcare robot Big White, there was virtually a blank slate in this field, so we needed a place to experiment and apply it."

Ding Yue continued to talk about how he came to know President Jiang Zhongbo.

Professor Yang Kaining, sitting in the back seat, was also listening with great interest, "So, did President Jiang agree to let your medical healthcare robot Big White be tested at Mist City Central Hospital?"

"Exactly."

Ding Yue nodded and said with a smile, "I still remember the look in President Jiang’s eyes when he saw me. Being able to test and apply the medical healthcare robot Big White in a top-notch hospital like Mist City Central Hospital was more than we could ask for. President Jiang can be said to have supported us all the way..."

"A steed finds its own master," Professor Yang commented after hearing the story between Ding Yue and President Jiang, unable to help but express his admiration.

"As for Principal Xu, we met at a domestic university education exchange conference."

After Ding Yue finished talking about how he became acquainted with President Jiang Zhongbo, he began to talk about Principal Xu Dongcheng.

By the time Ding Yue had quite finished telling the stories of how he met President Jiang and Principal Xu, they had already arrived at the entrance of Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Principal Ding, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Suddenly, Professor Yang Kaining asked from the car.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue paused for a moment because Professor Yang had been back in the country for more than half a year and had never shown concern about what to eat; his focus was entirely on biomedical engineering.

Now that biomedical engineering was basically near completion, Ding Yue realized that Professor Yang was not so out of touch with worldly matters after all.

"Professor Yang, what would you like to eat?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile, "Our Mist City Arts and Science University has plenty of good chefs. Any cuisine from around the country is no problem."

Mist City Arts and Science University’s culinary arts department had also produced many students skilled in a variety of cuisines over the past two years.

Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui—the eight major cuisines were no problem, and both Chinese and Western styles could be served.

"Your Mist City Arts and Science University has a major that teaches cooking?" Professor Yang asked curiously upon hearing this.

He knew that Mist City Arts and Science University was strong in computer science, mechanical engineering, medicine, architecture, and other fields.

So, he thought Mist City Arts and Science University was a private university with a focus on science and engineering disciplines.

Cooking and culinary arts, which were professional skills, were expected not to be included in such a science and engineering-heavy institution.

"Hahaha."

Ding Yue couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Professor Yang, our Mist City Arts and Science University offers over a hundred different majors. There’s nothing you can’t imagine, and our culinary arts department is one of the larger and more successful departments in our university."

"Really?"

Professor Yang said in surprise, "I knew your Mist City Arts and Science University was a comprehensive university, but I thought it was focused on science and engineering despite being comprehensive. I never expected it to be so all-encompassing."

"All-encompassing is the right word. Our Mist City Arts and Science University even has an esports major, teaching people to play games," Ding Yue added.

"Nowadays, it’s truly a young person’s world," Professor Yang reflected.

He had heard of esports and was not as dismissive as the older generation about the idea that playing games could lead to success.

"Speaking of which, since we’re in Xia Country’s Mist City, there’s definitely one delicacy we must try," Professor Yang said with a smile.

"Hot pot!"

Without a second thought, Ding Yue blurted out immediately, "Consider it arranged!"

"I also have a particular liking for Zhejiang Cuisine," said Professor Yang.

Since Principal Ding was offering a meal, he wasn’t going to hold back.

"Alright, Zhejiang Cuisine, consider it arranged!"

Ding Yue immediately agreed with a nod.

The car pulled over next to the second cafeteria on the roadside.

Not far away, President Jiang Zhongbo and Principal Xu were coming to greet them, as Ding Yue had instructed Wen Ruohan to notify President Jiang and Principal Xu when they reached the school gate.

"Professor Yang,"

Upon seeing Professor Yang Kaining get out of the car, President Jiang came forward with a warm handshake and said, "Today, using Principal Ding’s venue, let’s all have a meal together."

"Then I shall not be polite," Professor Yang replied.

Professor Yang Kaining laughed as he spoke. He and Dean Jiang were closest in age and, when at Mist City Central Hospital, they got along very well both in terms of personality and topics of conversation.

"This way, please."

After getting out of the car, Ding Yue led Professor Yang toward the second cafeteria.

"I heard from my assistant that there’s a very popular hotpot restaurant at Mist City Arts and Science University, right?"

Professor Yang Kaining asked curiously.

"Yes."

"Hahaha, Professor Yang, the hotpot restaurant at their school is so delicious. How about we arrange to dine there tonight?"

Principal Xu Dongcheng said with a big laugh.

"Sure," Professor Yang Kaining nodded.

Being in Mist City and not enjoying an authentic hotpot meal would be such a pity, and it even offers Zhejiang Cuisine. Professor Yang felt that this meal might be the most enjoyable one he had had in years.

"But, Professor Yang, can you handle spicy food?" Xu Dongcheng suddenly asked.

"I suppose so. Isn’t the proctology department at Mist City Central Hospital very good?" Professor Yang joked before following Principal Ding.

"Huh?"

Principal Xu Dongcheng stood there puzzled, not quite understanding what Professor Yang meant.

"Professor Yang, not only does Mist City have a good proctology hospital, it also has a great research environment," Ding Yue said with a smile to Professor Yang Kaining.

As they talked, they started to casually bring up some "serious business."

Meanwhile.

At the Catering and Culinary Arts Department of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Director Liang Gao immediately went to the dormitory to find a student with exceptional culinary talent.

"Xie Feiyang."

"Director Liang? Are you looking for me?" In the dormitory, the chubby guy Xie Feiyang asked in surprise.

"Hurry up, there’s an important task. Come with me." Without another word, Liang Gao pulled Xie Feiyang along.

"Hey, hey, hey, Director Liang, I haven’t finished playing Yasuo yet!" Xie Feiyang was not pleased.

He was in the middle of playing a game in his dorm, enjoying Yasuo, and then suddenly Director Liang came to whisk him away; wouldn’t that mean his game would go cold?

"Oh, what are you still playing games for? This matter is very important." Director Liang Gao said sternly, "Tonight, Principal Ding is hosting Professor Yang Kaining from the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology. He wants to eat Zhejiang Cuisine and you’re good at all eight major cuisines, so you’ve been chosen to cook the Zhejiang Cuisine."

Director Liang Gao explained to Xie Feiyang why he suddenly came to find him and pulled him away from his game—it was because this matter was urgent.

The task was something Principal Ding’s secretary, Wen Ruohan, had just called to notify Director Liang about.

After receiving the call from Secretary Wen Ruohan, Liang Gao immediately thought of Xie Feiyang.

Over the past year, Xie Feiyang’s cooking skills had advanced by leaps and bounds. While others were learning one cuisine, Xie Feiyang had mastered all eight major cuisines.

Indeed.

Xie Feiyang had learned all eight major Chinese cuisines—Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui—and had a good grasp on each, quite the talent.

"What? A task assigned by Principal Ding? No problem, just watch me, Director Liang!"

Upon hearing that Principal Ding was hosting a guest of honor, Xie Feiyang was filled with confidence and brimming with spirit.

At Mist City Arts and Science University, many students viewed Principal Ding as a "great" principal.

Without Principal Ding’s tireless efforts, Mist City Arts and Science University would not have achieved its current successes and status, and without the university’s current accomplishments and standing, these students would not have acquired such rich professional knowledge.

"Good, make sure you do a good job, and later the department will give you a bonus," Liang Gao encouraged him further.

Because Liang Gao knew how important Professor Yang Kaining was to Principal Ding and he had also mostly guessed why Principal Ding was having this meal with Professor Yang Kaining.

So this part of the arrangement had to go perfectly.

"A bonus too?"

"I’ll dig into my own pocket, two thousand bucks!"
