Therefore, the expansion of the teaching staff at Mist City Arts and Science University was an urgent matter.

At the end of August.

The day before the Ceremony and Military Training Mobilization Meeting.

Ding Yue was in his own principal’s office dealing with various complicated school affairs.

At this time, Director Qi Chunsheng from the academic affairs office came to find Ding Yue.

"Director Qi, please have a seat. You’ve been working hard these days. The new semester is about to start, and we’ll continue to depend on you. Oh, right, about the academic affairs assistant you were asked to find, how is that going?"

Ding Yue stood up, stretched his limbs, and then asked Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Thank you for your concern, Principal Ding. I have found two assistants for work, and they are indeed able to take on some of the workload. Once they are familiar with the operations of the academic affairs office, I think the work pressure should be significantly reduced."

Director Qi Chunsheng was very grateful to Principal Ding for deciding to let him find work assistants.

It indeed relieved his heavy work pressure.

At first, Qi Chunsheng thought that Principal Ding wanted to find a younger director for the academic affairs office to replace him, which worried Qi Chunsheng for a bit.

Later, he realized that Principal Ding was just being considerate due to his age.

Qi Chunsheng expressed that his current health was not bad and that he might still be able to stay and work at Mist City Arts and Science University for a couple more years after reaching retirement age.

Over these three years, Qi Chunsheng had indeed grown attached to Mist City Arts and Science University.

After so many years in the teaching profession.

Mist City Arts and Science University was the institution to which Qi Chunsheng felt the strongest connection, and it was also where he achieved his best teaching results.

"Did you come to talk about the teaching staff? I’ve heard about it these past couple of days," said Ding Yue, looking at Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Yes, right, one matter is about the teaching staff, and the other is about tomorrow’s freshman Ceremony and Military Training Mobilization Conference," replied Qi Chunsheng with a nod.

"Let’s talk about the teaching staff first, then."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately looked serious and solemn.

After all, the teaching staff was crucial to the future development of Mist City Arts and Science University, and Principal Ding naturally took it very seriously.

"Indeed, Principal Ding, currently our teaching staff at Mist City Arts and Science University, when we had 30,000 students, was quite sufficient, even for teaching 50,000, there wouldn’t be a problem. But now we have over 80,000, and considering the student population will continue to increase, I think we definitely need to expand the teaching staff," analyzed Qi Chunsheng.

"Yes, only, hiring university professors now, given the large demand, might not be something we can accomplish immediately," said Ding Yue, voicing his concerns.

In fact.

Since the first half of this year, taking the recruitment of students into account, Mist City Arts and Science University had been continuously recruiting university professors.

However, the recruitment process might not have been very fast or smooth.

So when this year brought an additional 50,000 students, the teacher resources at Mist City Arts and Science University suddenly became strained.

"For this, we can only arrange courses based on the current teachers we have. It means that every teacher’s workload will become extremely heavy. Then, as we continue to recruit more teachers, we can gradually ease the burden," suggested Qi Chunsheng.

This meant still arranging courses for 80,000 students with the current number of teachers.

This would obviously increase every teacher’s course load considerably.

"We can pay according to hourly wages and monthly bonuses, give our current teachers a bit more support. As for the funds, you can apply at the finance department," Ding Yue suggested after giving it some thought, feeling that there wasn’t much choice but to follow Qi Chunsheng’s recommendation for now.

Since that was the case.

What Principal Ding could do was to provide richer and well-deserved benefits and welfare to the teachers while increasing their workload.
