"Director Xiao, what good news do you have?"

Ding Yue immediately asked Director Xiao Wenxing, "Could it be that there’s the latest progress about our Mist City Arts and Science University’s nomination for the National Science Award? Did we win?"

"Ah, Principal Ding, it’s not about that."

Director Xiao Wenxing hastened to reply.

The greatest news for Mist City Arts and Science University from the outside world currently would indeed be this year’s National Science Award.

After all, Mist City Arts and Science University had two technologies nominated for the National Science Award, but whether they would actually win or not still had to wait until just about the end of the year to be revealed.

In fact, the revelation might not necessarily happen at the end of the year; it’s possible that after this year’s National Day Golden Holiday, the authorities might announce this year’s National Science Award winners.

"Oh, I thought, Director Xiao, you were calling me with good news, and I assumed it was about the National Science Award. Then, Director Xiao, is it some other matter?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile.

Since it wasn’t about the National Science Award, Ding Yue didn’t immediately know what good news Director Xiao was referring to.

"Principal Ding, about this matter, I came to tell you as soon as I found out. I recall your Mist City Arts and Science University has newly built a Central Sports Ground, quite large, right?"

Director Xiao Wenxing asked.

"Yes, there is a Central Sports Ground, which is now being used for freshmen military training. Our sports ground is built to the scale of the Bird-Nest."

Ding Yue replied, "What do you mean, Director Xiao?"

"Here’s the thing, just this morning, the National Sports Committee announced that next year’s National University Sports Games will officially take place in Mist City!"

Director Xiao Wenxing said excitedly.

"Oh? Coming to our Mist City? That’s indeed good news, but what does that have to do with our Mist City Arts and Science University, Director Xiao? Do you mean for our university’s athletes to strive hard and aim to win more gold medals?"

This was the first thing that came to Ding Yue’s mind.

Since next year’s National University Sports Games would be held in Mist City, Mist City Arts and Science University would naturally be the local university sports team, and therefore expected to represent Mist City and bring glory to the home ground.

"This could certainly be done, but that’s not what I meant. Principal Ding, you may not know that in recent years, the National University Sports Games have undergone some reforms. Whichever city it takes place in will typically select a local university to host the University Games, provided the school’s athletic facilities meet the required standards. Mist City is no exception this time!"

Director Xiao Wenxing explained in detail to Ding Yue.

This was the good news Director Xiao Wenxing wanted to tell Ding Yue today, to see if Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University could apply to host next year’s National University Sports Games in Mist City.

If they were successful in becoming the host, Mist City Arts and Science University would surely see a rise in social status and influence.

Director Xiao Wenxing also had the best interests of Mist City Arts and Science University in mind.

In his view, what Mist City Arts and Science University needed now was more "achievements," not academic and research outcomes like 3D bioprinters or graphene technology, but accomplishments like hosting the National University Sports Games.

"So that’s how it is. I truly appreciate you notifying me immediately, Director Xiao. Our Mist City Arts and Science University does indeed have comprehensive athletic facilities. Hearing what you’ve said, I too believe holding next year’s National University Sports Games at our university is the most suitable option."

Having understood Director Xiao Wenxing’s intentions, Ding Yue confidently declared.

"That’s right, so the reason I’m calling you this time is to inform you, and then your Mist City Arts and Science University can directly submit an application to our Education Department. The decision will be discussed and made alongside Mist City Sports Bureau. However, your Mist City Arts and Science University will definitely have competitors, and it will depend on whether your university can take advantage of its strengths to secure the opportunity to host the National University Sports Games."

Director Xiao Wenxing stated earnestly.

"Director Xiao, I understand what you mean."

Ding Yue was very clear.

It wasn’t as if just because Director Xiao told him about the National University Sports Games being hosted in Mist City that his Mist City Arts and Science University would automatically become the host.

At the end of the day,

there would still be competition.

His Mist City Arts and Science University had comprehensive athletic facilities, and the sports grounds and gymnasiums were sufficiently capable of supporting the scale of the National University Sports Games, but other universities in Mist City were also eligible to compete.

And without a doubt, the most formidable competitor was — Wucheng Sports College!

As a specialized sports university, Wucheng Sports College was undoubtedly the best choice for hosting such sports events.

But after some thought, Ding Yue felt that his Mist City Arts and Science University was very competitive, and securing the chance to host the National University Sports Games would be very beneficial for the university.

"Alright, Principal Ding, I’ve notified you. Your Mist City Arts and Science University should submit the application as soon as possible. I have a lot of confidence in your university. The sports facilities at Mist City Arts and Science University are newly built and sizable, and I definitely support hosting the National University Sports Games at your university."
