Chapter 958: Chapter 525: The National Games Land in Mist City! (Please Subscribe)_2

Director Xiao Wenxing made his stance clear and said,

After finishing, Director Xiao Wenxing hung up the phone.

Ding Yue was a bit surprised; he did not expect Director Xiao Wenxing to be so supportive of his Mist City Arts and Science University. It was quite flattering.

Regarding what Director Xiao Wenxing said just now, Ding Yue didn’t even need to think about it, he definitely intended to compete for it.

Ding!

"Congratulations, Host, on receiving the University Development Task [Hosting the University Games]!"

Just then, the voice of the system echoed in Ding Yue’s mind.

What a coincidence.

The system’s task arrived just at the right moment.

Ding Yue was just thinking of striving for the National University Sports Games to be hosted at his Mist City Arts and Science University when the system issued this task.

"[Hosting the University Games] Task details: Ensure next year’s National University Sports Games take place in Mist City. Please lead Mist City Arts and Science University to secure the hosting rights and successfully hold the National University Sports Games."

"Task rewards: +200 reputation points, [Level 3 University Treasure Chest +1], +1 billion in university sports development funds!"

Ding Yue glanced at the task reward panel.

It seemed like the rewards weren’t too shabby.

Especially that [Level 3 University Treasure Chest], which was naturally something Ding Yue extremely liked.

And then there were two hundred reputation points, as well as one billion in sports development funds for the university.

Ding Yue was very clear about this billion in prize money, because the name of it was telling enough.

University sports development funds obviously meant that this billion could only be used for things related to the development of sports at his Mist City Arts and Science University.

Which was only to be expected.

After all, this task was about a sports event.

Having briefly looked over this new system university development task, Ding Yue closed the system panel and then turned to his secretary, Wen Ruohan, and said, "Xiao Wen, please ask Director Xiong Yang from the sports department to come over."

About the matter of Mist City Arts and Science University applying to host the National University Sports Games, it was definitely necessary to discuss it with Director Xiong Yang of the sports department.

And as for those tasks of preparing documents, submitting applications, and following through with the application process, Ding Yue couldn’t possibly keep an eye on everything, could he?

Ding Yue simply did not have that much time.

So, this matter only needed to be entrusted to Director Xiong Yang of the sports department to handle.

Whether they could secure the hosting rights for the National University Sports Games depended on the capabilities of Mist City Arts and Science University, but Ding Yue felt there was a chance, especially since Director Xiao Wenxing had said as much over the phone.

About twenty minutes later.

Director Xiong Yang rushed over.

"Principal Ding, did you want to see me?"

As Xiong Yang entered the office, he asked.

"Have a seat."

Ding Yue gestured for Director Xiong Yang to sit down, and then asked Big White to make tea.

Now, the task of making tea was no longer done by Secretary Wen Ruohan, but by Ding Yue’s artificial intelligence robot, Big White.

And truth be told,

Ever since Big White learned how to make tea, it had become increasingly adept with more practice.

After Director Xiong sat down, he immediately looked at Principal Ding and said, "Principal Ding, did you call me here to discuss last night’s military training cultural evening? This year’s cultural evening was bigger than in previous years, mainly because the number of new students this year is just too high, so..."

Being suddenly summoned by Principal Ding, and considering that the school’s military training cultural evening was just the night before, Director Xiong surmised that Principal Ding was most likely going to discuss the cultural evening with him.

"No, no, no."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue shook his head and smilingly said to Director Xiong, "Director Xiong, my reason for calling you here isn’t about that; instead, I have some good news for you."

"Ah?"

With that comment from Principal Ding, Director Xiong was completely baffled.

A moment later, Xiong Yang came back to his senses and immediately asked, "Principal Ding, what is that matter exactly?"

"Do you know about next year’s National University Sports Games coming to Mist City?"

Ding Yue slightly raised his head and looked at Director Xiong Yang as he asked.

Logically speaking, someone like Director Xiong Yang, who specialized in the field of sports, should know some inside information, right?

"Oh? Principal Ding, where did you get that news? Is it confirmed that it will be held in Mist City?"

Director Xiong Yang asked curiously.

"Mm-hmm."

Ding Yue nodded and said with a smile, "It’s confirmed. Director Xiao Wenxing from the Education Department personally called to tell me, and he informed me that our Mist City Arts and Science University could apply to host the National University Sports Games."

"So it’s news from Director Xiao, that makes sense. I had heard that next year’s National University Sports Games might come to our Mist City, but since it wasn’t confirmed, I didn’t mention it to you, Principal Ding."

After hearing this, Director Xiong Yang nodded slightly.

"Now that it’s confirmed to be held in Mist City, Director Xiong, what do you think, should our Mist City Arts and Science University apply to host the National University Sports Games?"

Ding Yue smiled as he looked at Director Xiong Yang and asked.

"Of course."

Without even thinking, Director Xiong Yang immediately replied, "Principal Ding, the sports facilities at our Mist City Arts and Science University are really good. Looking across the entire Mist City, which university has a sports ground as splendid as ours? Moreover, I’ve heard that in recent years an unwritten rule has formed: once the National University Sports Games are set for a city, they generally won’t be held in that city’s sports grounds or Olympic Sports Center again, but instead, a capable university will be chosen to host it."

"Right, since that’s the case, then our Mist City Arts and Science University naturally should seize this opportunity."

Seeing that Director Xiong Yang was also supportive, Ding Yue said, "Director Xiong, I’ll leave the preparation of materials and the submission of the application to you then."

"Rest assured, Principal Ding, I will definitely not let you down."

Director Xiong Yang’s eyes were filled with excitement.

This was the biggest event he had taken on since his tenure at Mist City Arts and Science University within his own field of sports.

After all, this was the National University Sports Games. University student sports teams from all over the country would come to Mist City Arts and Science University to compete in sports.

Of course.

All this was predicated on the successful bid by Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Oh? From the way you talk, Director Xiong, it seems like you are quite confident we will win the bid."

Upon hearing the tone of Director Xiong Yang’s speech, Ding Yue asked curiously.

"Hehe, Principal Ding, in fact, as soon as I learned that the National University Sports Games might possibly come to Mist City, I’ve thought about this. Our Mist City Arts and Science University has strong competitiveness."

Director Xiong Yang scratched his head and chuckled.

"Oh? Let’s hear it."

Ding Yue became interested in hearing how Director Xiong Yang would explain.

Could Mist City Arts and Science University truly compete with other universities in Mist City to host next year’s National University Sports Games?

You should know.

In Mist City, there are several prestigious 985 and 211 universities, and it’s usually reasonable for such universities to host the National University Sports Games.

Moreover, Mist City also has the well-known Wucheng Sports College, which is one of the top six sports colleges in Xia Country.

These competitors are very strong.

So why does Director Xiong Yang seem so confident?

It appears he is even more confident than Ding Yue himself.

"Principal Ding, our Mist City Arts and Science University has now expanded our campus, and we have several sports stadiums, including a large Central Sports Ground which is newly built. The other sports facilities need not be mentioned, as we can host all the competition events for the National University Sports Games without any issues," said Director Xiong Yang as he began to outline the advantages of Mist City Arts and Science University as a potential host.

"Besides that, in the past few years, several of our student athletes have achieved quite commendable results in sports competitions," explained Xiong Yang, moving on from the advantages of the school’s sports facilities to the accomplishments of its student athletes.

Indeed, over the last two years, several student athletes from Mist City Arts and Science University had distinguished themselves in sports competitions...
