CHAPTER 1815: CHAPTER 951: METAVERSE COMPUTER CONTEST

Another new year has begun.

Ding Yue looks forward to Mist City Arts and Science University achieving more high-tech breakthroughs this year. Many projects have been in progress for a year or two.

The various departments and majors at Mist City Arts and Science University are also improving steadily.

The prestigious departments like Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Architecture, Medicine, and Law need no further mention, especially as Ding Yue’s investment in Mist City Arts and Science University continues to grow.

Other departments such as Physics, Chemistry, Energy-Related Majors, Biomedical Sciences, and Aerospace have also seen unprecedented development, with investments in each of these departments reaching at least ten billion yuan annually.

And the investment continues to grow each year.

At least sixty percent of Feiyue Group’s annual profits are invested in the development of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Now, the physical campus of Mist City Arts and Science University no longer requires further construction, as the North and South campuses together already suffice in terms of hardware facilities.

The next step is to continue expanding and strengthening the departments and majors.

The School of Aerospace closely collaborates with the Space Administration and Feiyue Group, which has also established Feiyue Aerospace. Two aerospace launch center bases are under intense construction.

Feiyue Group’s rocket recovery technology and other aerospace technologies are also in development.

Ding Yue hopes to witness many technological achievements this year; otherwise, it will have to wait until next year. Whether it’s the vast universe or the virtual Metaverse Plan, Ding Yue places great importance on them.

After all, these represent two different directions for human development.

"Principal Ding."

In the principal’s office of the Administration Building at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Director Qi Chunsheng of the Academic Affairs Office was here today for a routine report to Ding Yue.

Previously, the Academic Affairs Office would come weekly for a routine report. After all, as the principal, Ding Yue must be aware of the current teaching situation at Mist City Arts and Science University.

However, after Director Qi Chunsheng had some health issues and a subsequent surgery, Ding Yue no longer required him to exert himself as much, and it sufficed to submit a teaching work report every three months, once a quarter.

"Last year, more than a dozen departments and majors, including the Physics Department and Aerospace School, were awarded the honor of First-Class Specialty by the state."

Director Qi Chunsheng reported.

"Not bad, not bad. Work hard this year so more departments and majors can become nationally certified First-Class Specialties."

Ding Yue was quite satisfied with this result.

The First-Class Specialty certified by the state, along with future certification as a First-Class University, would firmly establish Mist City Arts and Science University as a Double First Class institution.

However.

Currently, Mist City Arts and Science University is not yet Double First Class; it only has First-Class Specialties and is recognized as a key national university.

"When will we achieve Double First Class status?"

Ding Yue inquired simply.

"We’re striving to achieve Double First Class status this year," Director Qi Chunsheng seemed somewhat confident.

That’s because Director Qi Chunsheng is incredibly familiar with the academic work at Mist City Arts and Science University, noting that no other domestic university has achieved such rapid progress in a single year.

The students are excellent, and the teachers are also excellent, which is why both graduates and current students, as well as postgraduates, are exceptionally outstanding. This is why Director Qi Chunsheng is reluctant to leave his position at the Academic Affairs Office.

Even though Principal Ding promised that he would receive the same high salary as long as he retired, Director Qi Chunsheng was unwilling to just retire and relax.

At Mist City Arts and Science University, he wished to contribute everything he could offer.

"If we can really achieve Double First Class, then I’ll be giving out bonuses to everyone."

Ding Yue said with a smile.

"Hahaha, looks like our Academic Affairs Office and the teachers from all departments need to work hard for those bonuses."

Qi Chunsheng laughed heartily.

Although Qi Chunsheng is not someone who cares much about money, his sense of humor is quite amusing.

"Is Director Qi here too?"

At this moment, another person appeared at the office entrance.

If Ding Yue had two strong supporters at Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group, the left arm would be Director Qi Chunsheng, and the right arm would be the person standing at the office entrance.

Indeed.

It was CEO An Yujia of Feiyue Group.

"Miss An."

Upon seeing An Yujia, Ding Yue said with a smile, "What a coincidence, both my strong supporters are here."

"Principal Ding, you’re too kind, Director Qi is the one who wholeheartedly dedicates himself to Mist City Arts and Science University. He truly deserves the title of strong supporter; I’m just doing some odd jobs."

Goodness, Miss An is quite modest.

Calling the CEO of Feiyue Group’s tasks "odd jobs"—is this the legendary humility?

"The development of our Mist City Arts and Science University indeed couldn’t be achieved without Director Qi Chunsheng, but the growth of Feiyue Group also couldn’t happen without you, Miss An."

Ding Yue said to An Yujia with a smile, "Miss An, what can I help you with? Or shall we wait until Director Qi finishes his work report first?"
