Chapter 474: Chapter 297: The Ace Majors at Qinghua University (National Day additional 5000-word Chapter, subscription desired)_2

Principal Sun started talking about Ding Yue’s opportunity to be directly admitted to a postgrad program at Yancheng University.

Presumably, during Principal Sun’s and Principal Zhu’s previous conversation, the topic of Ding Yue came up.

"Principal Zhu has been so kind to me. Thank you, Principal Zhu," said Ding Yue. Given that Principal Sun had mentioned it, he felt compelled to express his gratitude to Principal Zhu of Yancheng University once again.

"Hahaha, Principal Sun has just mentioned to me that I managed to snatch you away," Principal Zhu laughed heartily.

Hearing Principal Zhu say this, Ding Yue realized that Principal Sun also wanted to offer him a spot at Qinghua University.

He had evidently become a sought-after prospect for both Qinghua and Yancheng Universities.

It seemed quite coincidental.

Previously, upon scoring the highest marks in the College Entrance Examination in Mist City, his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, had been fought over by the two leading universities in the country, Qinghua University and Yancheng University.

In the end, Ding Xiaoyou chose neither and decided to stay at Mist City Arts and Science University while he, her brother, ended up going to Yancheng University for postgraduate studies.

His situation was unlike his sister’s.

While his sister certainly had limitless potential at either Yancheng University or Qinghua University, going there would mean she could not benefit from the educational enhancements he could provide her at home.

So, Ding Yue bought the world’s most advanced set of energy chemical technology research equipment from Nanyang Technological University to persuade his sister to stay at Mist City Arts and Science University for her bachelor’s degree.

His own decision to go to Yancheng University for postgraduate studies as per Principal Zhu’s invitation was to improve his own academic credentials.

If needed, he would finish his postgrad studies sooner at Yancheng University and then return to Mist City Arts and Science University.

Furthermore, Principal Zhu had promised to allow him to manage his time freely during his stay at Yancheng University for postgraduate studies.

Plus, since he was personally admitted by Principal Zhu, the supervising professors at Yancheng University would surely not give him a hard time.

Therefore, Ding Yue anticipated a comfortable time studying at Yancheng University. With his capabilities, acquiring a postgraduate degree should be a cakewalk!

"Principal Zhu, you are certainly making the most out of this," Principal Sun chuckled.

"Principal Sun," Ding Yue suddenly called out to Principal Sun from Qinghua University.

Upon hearing this, Principal Sun turned his attention toward Ding Yue, asking, "Yes? Go ahead."

"Our mechanical department at Qinghua University is undoubtedly the leading one in the country. My university, Mist City Arts and Science University, intends to invest heavily in developing a strong mechanical department. So, on the occasion of the National College Education Innovation Exchange Conference, I was wondering if we could establish a collaborative relationship regarding the mechanical discipline between Qinghua University and my university," Ding Yue put forth his proposal directly.

He had thought this through. With so many people present, if he did not speak up now, he might not get a chance later.

People like Principal Zhu and Principal Sun, the heads of China’s top universities, were quite shrewd. They were no less than seasoned old foxes.

So Ding Yue shared his thoughts frankly in front of Principal Sun, feeling it was better to be straightforward.

Upon hearing this, Principal Sun seemed quite interested.

Principal Zhu, on the other hand, seemed to back Ding Yue up. He supported Ding Yue saying, "Principal Sun, the mechanical department at Qinghua University needs no introduction. The mechanical department at Mist City Arts and Science University, although young and a part of a private university, has immense potential. These are the types of partnerships we should foster. This aligns with the theme of our conference and the educational policies devised by the authorities."

Zhao Siming, the principal of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, noticing Principal Zhu supporting Ding Yue, couldn’t be left behind either.

Principal Zhao pondered thoughtfully and then nodded his agreement. "Indeed. The mechanical department of their Mist City Arts and Science University holds great promise. I heard that the famous robot Big White was designed by students from their mechanical department, right?" Zhao Siming’s remarks pointed towards Big White, the robot that accompanied Ding Yue.

"Yes, yes, Big White was developed by the mechanical department at our university. It required a lot of advanced techniques in precision mechanics. We have several talented individuals in our department, and I hope we can further their development," Ding Yue responded enthusiastically, looking expectantly at Principal Sun.

With just one word from Principal Sun, Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University could tie up with the mechanical department at Qinghua University.

Not only would this improve their teaching standards, but it would also greatly enhance their reputation. They might even be able to complete the mechanical department’s development tasks in no time!

"I’m aware of the robot Big White from your university," said Principal Sun of Qinghua University, his tone affirmative.

After hearing Principal Sun’s response, Ding Yue was unsure about his willingness to collaborate.

Since both Principal Zhu from Yancheng University and Principal Zhao from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had already vouched for him, Ding Yue initially thought it was a done deal.

It seemed that Principal Sun was still pondering.
