Chapter 990: Chapter 541: Giving Them a Chance to Apologize (Please Subscribe)

Ding Yue felt that what Director Qi Chunsheng said made sense.

The fire incident was caused by two students from Mist City University of Technology who were smoking in their dormitory and carelessly started a fire, so he couldn’t severely punish the students from Room 325, could he?

It was even less likely to punish students from another university.

This matter required communication with the Mist City University of Technology.

"Alright, Director Qi, you go ahead and contact Mist City University of Technology, explain the situation to them, and then ask for their opinion on the matter."

After thinking for a bit, Ding Yue said to Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Sure thing, Principal Ding."

Director Qi Chunsheng responded, and after a moment, he asked, "Principal Ding, what about the punishment for the four students from Room 325?"

Even though the four students from Room 325 did not cause the fire, they were somewhat responsible.

If no punishment were meted out, it would be difficult to set an example!

"Well... The four students from Room 325 also bear some responsibility for the oversight. As for the punishment, let’s discuss it after I get back. I’m almost there, have those four students from Room 325 come to my office first."

Ding Yue was almost at University Town while driving and didn’t want to discuss the matter with Director Qi Chunsheng while on the road.

Once he arrived at the school, back in his own office, he would deal with the matter properly.

"Okay, Principal Ding. Oh, and by the way, Principal Ding, Director Xiao Wenxing from the Education Authority has arrived," Director Qi Chunsheng said.

"I know."

Ding Yue had already known about Director Xiao Wenxing’s visit to his Mist City Arts and Science University; Director Xiao had even called him earlier. Even though the fire had been dealt with promptly and wasn’t too serious, Director Xiao was still not completely reassured, hence his visit.

Ding Yue could understand this.

After all, Director Xiao Wenxing oversaw the education of Mist City’s universities, and he certainly had to make an appearance regarding a safety incident on campus.

Approximately five or six minutes later.

Ding Yue finally returned to his Mist City Arts and Science University.

Upon returning to Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue first went to the Peach Garden dormitory building where the fire had occurred.

Order at the Peach Garden dormitory building was quite good at the moment. Although there were still quite a few students downstairs, it was evident that the school’s logistical staff had already begun to manage the aftermath methodically.

"Yue, I’ve already had the logistics department staff come over, and after confirming that the dormitory building’s water, electricity, and network were mostly unaffected, I arranged for the students to return to their dorms bit by bit," Huang Youjie said to Ding Yue in a steady voice.

Logistics had always been Huang’s responsibility. Although Huang was no longer involved in handling the specifics, his oversight and direction to his subordinates were quite effective.

"Good, what’s the situation with the burnt dormitory and the adjacent rooms?"

Ding Yue, after arriving on the scene, saw Director Qi Chunsheng and asked.

"Principal Ding, the burnt dormitory’s walls will need to be redecorated, and the wardrobe, desk, and beds will have to be replaced. The neighboring rooms are mostly unaffected," Director Qi Chunsheng replied.

"Then that’s settled. The school will take on all costs for redecorating the walls and replacing wardrobes, desks, and beds. As for the compensation discussion with Mist City University of Technology, we’ll address that when it comes up," Ding Yue said solemnly.

Normally, if it were students from his own university who had caused the fire, the damages to Room 325 would be the responsibility of the four students residing there to compensate.

But the problem was.

The fire was not caused by the four students from Room 325 but by students from the neighboring Mist City University of Technology.

So the issue of compensation could only be discussed with Mist City University of Technology later on.

There was unlikely to be any problem.

The immediate priority was to refurbish Room 325 to its original state as quickly as possible since the fire was not severe; the dormitory building should not be abandoned because of it.

"Right, I’m still in contact with Mist City University of Technology. I called their principal’s office just now but got no answer," said Director Qi Chunsheng, nodding his head.

"Let me know as soon as you get in touch with them. Thanks for your help, Qi," Ding Yue said.

Ding Yue still had quite a few matters to address today.

Since the school was already beginning to handle the aftermath of the fire, he would temporarily stop focusing on this issue.

"Principal Ding."

At that moment, a familiar voice reached Ding Yue from not far away.

It was Director Xiao Wenxing from the Education Authority.

"Director Xiao, you’ve arrived," Ding Yue greeted with a smile as he saw Director Xiao.

As the official superior in charge of his Mist City Arts and Science University, and with a good relationship with Ding Yue, the greeting was naturally warm and friendly.

"I’ve heard that the fire wasn’t caused by your students at Mist City Arts and Science University, but by students from the neighboring Mist City University of Technology. What exactly happened?" Xiao Wenxing, after arriving, asked out of curiosity.

Director Xiao had just happened to meet with Captain Zhang from the fire department when he arrived and had only heard a brief account.

"Isn’t it because two students from Mist City University of Technology came over to Room 325 to watch a game with friends, and then those two students from the University of Technology smoked cigarettes? After smoking, they threw the cigarette butts into the trash without extinguishing them properly. Tell me, isn’t this an unjust misfortune for our Mist City Arts and Science University?"
