Chapter 901: Chapter 497 Freshman Convocation for Class of 2022 (Please Subscribe)_2

Before the opening ceremony officially began, Ding Yue asked Bin about the situation.

"Mm, Qi has already mentioned this to me; we’ve increased our efforts in teacher recruitment. Now the job advertisements have been published all over the internet."

Xu Bin nodded and replied.

This was something Xu Bin could handle competently.

"Okay, later I will allocate more funds to your personnel department. The benefits for recruiting teachers should be maintained at a high standard, and as for the advertisement, go ahead and promote it. We really do need teachers right now," Ding Yue continued to instruct.

"I can tell, look at all those people below, my, a whole crowd of them. Over fifty thousand students, indeed we’ll need quite a number of teachers to handle them," Xu Bin couldn’t help but remark.

He never imagined that in just three years, Mist City Arts and Science University would have enrolled so many students.

In the future, Mist City Arts and Science University would certainly become the private institution with the highest number of students in Xia Country—actually, it is fair to drop the description ’private’ for comparison’s sake, because no public university in the future would be able to match the student population of Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Indeed, just get things done well. Huang, how about your law school? How is the progress with the lawsuit?"

Ding Yue immediately turned to Huang Youjie and inquired about the lawsuit initiated by the law school against the Twitter bloggers.

"Yue Brother, rest assured,"

Huang Youjie said confidently, "The lawsuit is already in process. The first verdict from court after acceptance should start coming in within the next two to three months, or at the latest, within half a year."

"Good, I’ll wait for the good news from your law school."

As Ding Yue was not an expert in the field of legal proceedings, he believed that such professional matters should be entrusted to professionals.

It was fortunate that his Mist City Arts and Science University had a substantial law school.

And with Huang, a good law student as his buddy, those Twitter bloggers would certainly not get away this time.

While Ding Yue was chatting with Xu Bin and Huang Youjie,

a group of people made their way toward the VIP area.

Among them were Feiyue Group’s CEO An Yujia, Ding Yue’s sister Ding Xiaoyou, Professor Yang Kaining, and Director Bai Liwei of the medical school, among others.

It wasn’t surprising for An Yujia and Professor Yang to attend the opening ceremony.

But why did his sister Ding Xiaoyou come as well?

"Xiao You, this opening ceremony, why did you come here to join the fun?" Ding Yue asked upon seeing his sister Ding Xiaoyou.

"Hmph, why can’t I come? Besides, I don’t have any classes to attend anymore."

Ding Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at her brother Ding Yue.

Goodness.

If other students at Mist City Arts and Science University heard this, wouldn’t they call Ding Xiaoyou the ultimate "Versailles"?

It had been just a year.

During her time at university, Ding Xiaoyou already had no more classes to attend.

That’s right.

She had raced through not just the undergraduate curriculum, but also materials meant for masters and doctoral programs.

Most importantly,

she led the team that completed the research on graphene battery technology and participated in the graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine project. Her academic achievements were incomparable to the multitude of geniuses across the country.

It could be said that Ding Xiaoyou truly was a legitimate "Versailles."

"There’s no helping you," Ding Yue sighed helplessly, then said, "Alright, you as a senior should experience watching the freshmen’s military training. Remember, this time last year, you were still standing in the crowd below."

"Brother, ’shit da bian le.’

"Ah?"

"Times have changed!"

"Speak clearly!"

After their banter, Ding Yue looked at Professor Yang Kaining and smiled, "Professor Yang, how have you been feeling at the university lately, have you gotten used to it? After so many years abroad, how have you adjusted your daily routine?"

Professor Yang Kaining had only decided to return to Xia Country from Switzerland during this summer break, choosing to continue his career at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Thus, acclimating to the new environment was the most important issue for Professor Yang Kaining.

"I’ve mostly adjusted and adapted to it now."

Professor Yang Kaining nodded, wearing a kindly smile as he spoke.

"That’s good."

Ding Yue nodded in response, and then invited Professor Yang Kaining to take a seat on the stage.

After all, Professor Yang Kaining was not like the other teaching professors.

Professor Yang’s status indeed was much higher.

He was a globally renowned scientist in the field of life sciences, and this time he was nominated for the National Science and Technology Award with the 3D biological printer—it was very possible that he would win.

Therefore, it was only right to arrange a place for Professor Yang Kaining on the stage.

"Principal Ding, it’s about time."

At that moment, Xiong Yang, the Director of Physical Education and Culture Department, came over to remind Principal Ding.

The Ceremony was about to officially begin.

"Alright, let’s get ready to start."

Ding Yue nodded his head.

So thereupon,

As "March of the Athletes" played in the background, Xiong Yang, the Director of the Physical Education and Culture Department, blew into the microphone he was holding and then said, "Students, today is an important day for our Ceremony and Military Training Mobilization Meeting. Cheer up, at ease, attention, right dress, eyes front..."

The Ceremony and Military Training Mobilization Meeting began with a speech by Xiong Yang, the Department Director.

Xiong Yang spoke for about five minutes or so before saying, "Now, please allow me to invite the leadership of Mist City Arts and Science University, Principal Ding, to speak."

Whooosh!

The applause of over fifty thousand people was like thunder.

Ding Yue was almost startled by it.

Below the stage, a dense crowd of new students; anyone with a fear of crowds might faint on the spot.

But Ding Yue did not.

Seeing so many new students, Ding Yue could hardly contain his joy.

These were all going to be the "treasures" of Mist City Arts and Science University; with them, the future development and prospects of the university were assured.

"Students, in this season of crisp autumn air, you have come to a sanctuary filled with knowledge. Here, you will learn the knowledge you are passionate about, master the skills you aspire to, and forge your wonderful lives..."

Ding Yue began to improvise during the president’s address at the Ceremony.

Speaking of which,

The president’s address was one of the most important parts of the Ceremony.

As Mist City Arts and Science University was a private institution, the principal was the decision-maker of the university, and the students certainly needed to hear what Principal Ding had to say.

And the words Ding Yue spoke at the Ceremony were designed to stimulate the students’ enthusiasm for learning and their expectations for the future.

Meanwhile, as Ding Yue spoke,

he was multitasking, pulling up his system panel.

In the item section,

Ding Yue found what he had exchanged for with reputation points a couple of days earlier in the system store—the "University Top Student Halo."

This thing was essentially just like last year’s Academic Overlord Totem.

And not much different from the Study Card the year before that.

In any case, it could enhance the students’ learning efficiency and brain development, among other effects.

Even a super poor student, once affected by the "University Top Student Halo," would possess the learning ability of a top student.

As for whether one could truly become a top student, that depended on each individual’s "fate."

After all, the "University Top Student Halo" had a maximum and minimum limit to learning efficiency.

Under varying circumstances, some students could soar to great heights with the "University Top Student Halo," becoming true top students like Tong Yihang and his peers.

Others might not reach the ceiling and thus would not become what one could call a real top student.

Even so,

it was still not a problem to become proficient in one’s field of expertise.

"Activate the ’University Top Student Halo’..."

With a thought, Ding Yue used this item...
