"After careful deliberation by the school, you have been given a warning and the matter will be announced throughout the school for criticism,"

Ding Yue looked at the four students from Room 325 and issued the school’s punishment.

The decision to only issue a warning was made after discussions between Ding Yue and Director Qi Chunsheng of the Academic Affairs Office, and there were reasons for this.

After all, the fire in Room 325 wasn’t caused by these four students but by two students from Mist City University of Technology who carelessly started the fire while trying to put out cigarette butts.

In other words, in this fire incident, the four students from Room 325 bore only secondary responsibility, not primary responsibility.

So, after some consideration, Ding Yue and Director Qi Chunsheng decided to give a warning to the four students and then simply announce a criticism throughout the school.

"Principal Ding, are you really just giving a warning?"

Liu Yuanping almost thought he had heard wrong and specifically asked again.

Ding Yue naturally nodded, "What? You think a warning isn’t enough? Do you want to be put on probation?"

’No, no, no, Principal Ding, that’s not what I meant, thank you, Principal Ding.’

Liu Yuanping quickly shook his head, his expression immediately becoming flustered, afraid that a careless question could lead Principal Ding to actually hand down probation as a punishment.

Being put on probation could affect his graduation smoothly.

A warning, however, was different. It was the lightest punishment in college, and as long as they followed the school rules and made no further mistakes, it would essentially be as if there was no punishment at all.

"You all weren’t primarily responsible for the fire incident this time, but you must still be constantly vigilant, understand?"

Director Qi Chunsheng said to the four students.

"We understand,"

The four students said in unison.

Ding Yue saw that the four students from Room 325 had a fairly sincere attitude in admitting their fault, and they had never violated school rules or disciplines in the past.

So.

Ding Yue certainly wanted to give them a chance and not simply condemn them at once, especially since they were not the cause of the fire incident.

"Alright, you may go back,"

After notifying the four students from Room 325 of their punishment, Ding Yue let them leave, "Oh right, your room was damaged in the fire, has the school arranged temporary housing for you?"

"Yes, it has been arranged, thank you, Principal Ding,"

Liu Yuanping immediately nodded.

Director Qi Chunsheng had already talked to them about this.

Since Room 325 was burned, it was currently unfit for occupation. It needed a renovation team to repair and redecorate thoroughly.

During this time, Liu Yuanping and the other three from Room 325 would have to live elsewhere temporarily.

As the school authority, they certainly couldn’t ignore this issue.

Therefore, Director Qi Chunsheng arranged temporary apartment rooms for the four individuals from Room 325 until Room 325 in Peach Garden dormitory was repaired, after which they could move back.

"Principal Ding, about the damages from our room being burnt, do we need to compensate?"

As Liu Yuanping and the others turned to leave the office, Liu Yuanping suddenly turned around and asked Principal Ding.

"Since you didn’t cause the fire, it’s not your turn to compensate,"

Ding Yue replied.

It wasn’t about not needing to compensate; after all, a dormitory room was burned. But the matter of compensation would naturally fall to those who started the fire.

That is, the two students from Mist City University of Technology, and on Mist City Arts and Science University’s part, there was also a need to communicate with Mist City University of Technology about how to properly handle the situation.

After all, it wouldn’t do to just let it go because Wang Ming and Zhao Qiang were not from Mist City Arts and Science University, right?

After the four students from Room 325 left,

Ding Yue turned to Director Qi Chunsheng from the Academic Affairs Office and said, "Director Qi, next we need to deal with the matter concerning those two students from Mist City University of Technology. How’s the communication going with their side?"

The fire incident that occurred at Mist City Arts and Science University was caused by two students smoking from Mist City University of Technology.

Mist City Arts and Science University had no authority to punish these two students, so naturally, communication with Mist City University of Technology was needed.

"I’ve called their side, but I haven’t been able to reach Principal Fu yet,"

Director Qi Chunsheng replied.

"They haven’t been informed of the incident yet?"

At this moment, Director Xiao Wenxing from the Educational Department, who had been silent up until then, spoke up.

"That’s correct,"

Director Qi Chunsheng immediately nodded.

"What about those two students?"

Ding Yue suddenly asked.

"Principal Ding, do you want to summon them for questioning?"

"No need for that," Ding Yue shook his head, "Continue to contact Mist City University of Technology. This matter must be resolved through discussion with their side."

"Alright, Principal Ding,"

Director Xiao Wenxing thought for a moment and then instructed his assistant to take out a phone, saying, "I’ll give Principal Fu of Mist City University of Technology a call to inquire."

This matter should naturally be resolved as soon as possible.

Hence, Director Xiao Wenxing, considering his status as the Director of the Educational Department, resolved to facilitate a quick discussion between Mist City University of Technology and Mist City Arts and Science University for the proper handling of the aftermath. This was also something he ought to do.
