64: Chapter 64 Investigation (Seeking Recommendation Votes)_1
A day later.
Ding Yue received a call from the relevant office of the Department of Education.
Director Zhang Jianyang informed Ding Yue that the pre-registration for the application for educational land allocation for Mist City Arts and Science University had been completed.
However, the Department of Education would conduct an inspection of Mist City Arts and Science University and only authorize the qualifications for applying for educational land allocation after confirming the university’s need for campus expansion.
With this qualification, Ding Yue could then proceed to the City Construction Department for site selection opinion and to the Development Planning Department for project construction planning approval.
Once the project approval has been obtained.
Ding Yue would still have to apply for the land planning permit from the City Construction Department, and then apply to the Land Management Department for land allocation.
The procedure is quite complicated.
However, under normal circumstances, if the qualifications for the educational land allocation from the Education Department have been obtained, the remaining procedures at these departments would usually progress smoothly as long as the required documents are complete.
The most troublesome part is running back and forth between various departments to submit materials and wait for approval.
Therefore, this step in the Education Department is crucial.
“Alright, Director Zhang, so you are coming over for the inspection tomorrow?
No problem, of course, goodbye.”
After hanging up the phone in his office, Principal Ding Yue felt quite pleased.
It’s undeniable.
The efficiency of the government officials in the Parallel World’s Xia Country is indeed high!
If this were on the previous Earth, without any connections within the system, the process might take a fortnight or even longer to receive any reply.
Perhaps after waiting for several months and finally being remembered by the Education Department and after these registration and record backups, getting things done in other departments would again take a long time…
If Director Zhang from the Education Department is coming to inspect Mist City Arts and Science University tomorrow, Ding Yue wondered, should he prepare for it?
Nonetheless, after thinking it over, Ding Yue felt that there wasn’t much preparation to be done.
The academic atmosphere of the University is excellent, which the inspectors from the Education Department can naturally sense once they arrive.
Secondly, the school’s basic educational facilities, such as libraries and dormitory buildings, would indeed be insufficient after the enrollment of new students next year.
This is also a fact.
Moreover.
The main purpose of Director Zhang’s inspection tomorrow is to see whether Mist City Arts and Science University needs to be expanded, and not to inspect the teaching workload.
Besides, such matters don’t fall under Director Zhang’s purview anyway.
However, since they are coming for the inspection tomorrow, the duties of welcoming them should be well prepared.
Hence, Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to notify the school leaders and hold a meeting later to discuss the inspection itinerary for tomorrow and matters concerning the welcome.
…
The next day.
At ten o’clock in the morning.
Ding Yue, along with the leaders of Mist City Arts and Science University, were ready to welcome Director Zhang from the Education Department at the school gate.
Because Director Zhang is in charge of approving the application for educational land allocation under the Department of Education, it is natural for him to lead the inspection regarding the necessity of the expansion of Mist City Arts and Science University.
Standing next to Ding Yue were his secretary, Wen Ruohan, the vice-principal, the Director of the Academic Affairs, Qi Chunsheng, and the directors of other departments.
Generally speaking, for such occasions of welcoming the personnel from the Department of Education for inspection, a banner or two are deemed to be necessary.
However, during yesterday’s call, Director Zhang Jianyang had already expressed that he was here for practical purposes, hence Ding Yue only needed to show him the actual situation of the Mist City Arts and Science University and there was no need for him to bother about anything else.
Ding Yue thought that Director Zhang was an amiable person.
Of course, this is due to the integrity of the whole working environment of officials in Xia Country, the leadership of officials is so commendable!!!
In no time, two black sedans slowly drove in and stopped at the school gate.
Immediately after, Director Zhang Jianyang got out of the front car with a woman who seemed to be his secretary, followed by two staff members of the Education Department from the car behind.
“Hello, Director Zhang.”
Upon seeing this, Ding Yue stepped forward to enthusiastically greet Director Zhang Jianyang with a handshake.
“Hello, Principal Ding.
We’re here just to survey the actual situation.
You’ve brought such a large group, it feels quite grand.”
Zhang Jianyang said while shaking hands.
“They are all heads of the relevant departments of the school.”
“Alright, Principal Ding, lead us around the school, then.
According to the material you provided, the current campus area is 2500 acres, right?
It was originally Mist City Siyuan University.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
As Zhang Jianyang and Ding Yue chatted, they walked into the school.
“If we go by reason, a campus with an area of 2500 acres is not small.
However, going by the data in the application material, you have almost ten thousand students in each grade.
When full enrollment is reached, I estimate there will be at least over fifty thousand students?”
“Yes, hence the current scale definitely can’t accommodate tens of thousands of students,” Ding Yue nodded.
Zhang Jianyang suddenly stopped, glanced at Ding Yue, and then said.
“For profit-driven private universities, having many students enrolled is a good thing.
But students come to universities for knowledge and to create their future.”
Ding Yue was a bit confused by Zhang’s words at first.
But Ding Yue quickly realized what Zhang meant, Zhang was implying that it indeed was a good thing for Mist City Arts and Science University to be able to recruit more students, but since they enrolled, the university should be responsible for their college life.
Although Zhang Jianyang wasn’t in charge of higher education teaching, as part of the Mist City Education Department, it was normal for him to mention these points.
“Please rest assured, Director Zhang, our Mist City Arts and Science University maintains a great academic environment.” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“Shall we go to the library first?” Zhang Jianyang suggested starting the inspection with the library.
After all, in Ding Yue’s application report, he had mentioned that the school library was completely insufficient for student use, so the first priority in building a new campus was to construct a larger library.
“Sure, as for the library, this way please.”
The group arrived at the Library Building.
Although it wasn’t the weekend, there were still many students with books coming and going at the entrance of the library.
After all, many students don’t have classes in the morning.
Therefore, after having breakfast early in the morning, the library is an ideal place to go.
Zhang Jianyang observed the situation at the Mist City Arts and Science University library carefully.
Now that it was still morning, the place was already quite populated.
Were the students studying hard, or had Principal Ding arranged for this in preparation for his inspection?
After walking into the library and seeing it filled with students with no vacant seats, Zhang Jianyang couldn’t help but frown and shake his head, “Principal Ding, I did mention on the phone yesterday that I’m here for a concrete inspection, look at this…
there’s really no need.”
Zhang Jianyang, seeing so many students in the library, concluded that this definitely was something Principal Ding had specially arranged.
Preparing for the Education Department inspection is a common occurrence at institutions each year.
Zhang Jianyang still remembers that last year when he, along with the Deputy Bureau, went for an inspection to a university.
According to students, the artificial fountain in front of the school gate does not spray water all year round.
However, on the day when the Education Department leaders came for the inspection, the fountain suddenly came to life.
Isn’t it the same as when Zhang Jianyang arrived at the gate of Mist City Arts and Science University today and saw the rather spectacular fountain of the University?
Sigh!
These private universities, instead of focusing on teaching, they keep doing these flashy things!
“Ah?”
Ding Yue was quite taken aback by Director Zhang’s words, “Director Zhang, what do you mean by ‘there’s no need’?”
