Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Professor, Scholarships and Financial Aid (Please Subscribe First!)_1

Carp City.

Three-thirty in the afternoon.

In a hotel reception hall near Carp City Architecture University.

Ding Yue and his secretary Wen Ruohan are here waiting for the arrival of Professor Liu Gongcheng. This meeting with Professor Liu Gongcheng is primarily arranged by Chen Ping, who should be coming soon.

On this trip to Carp City, Ding Yue is quite confident about inviting Professor Liu Gongcheng to teach at Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, the identification result on [University Professor Identification Card] indicates that Professor Liu Gongcheng has a high probability of being hired, and the difficulty of recruitment is not great.

About five minutes later.

Liu Gongcheng arrived at the hotel’s reception hall.

"You must be Professor Liu, right?"

Upon seeing Liu Gongcheng, Ding Yue enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands and greet him.

"Hello, hello."

Liu Gongcheng was also very enthusiastic.

Chen Ping roughly told Ding Yue about his teacher, Liu Gongcheng, who due to family reasons, needs a job at a school with better benefits.

In other words.

For Ding Yue, hiring Professor Liu Gongcheng at Mist City Arts and Science University means that money can basically solve the problem.

"Professor Liu, what would you like to drink?"

Wen Ruohan, proving very considerate, stepped forward to respectfully ask Professor Liu Gongcheng.

"A glass of water, thank you."

"Waiter, a glass of water this way." Wen Ruohan immediately called to the waiter.

"Professor Liu, since we’re meeting, let me cut to the chase."

Ding Yue was quite straightforward.

"Sure." Liu Gongcheng nodded.

In fact, he had been sizing up the young man in front of him—an outstanding talent who inherited the family business at a young age and became the board director of Mist City Arts and Science University.

This is rare in private universities.

Even Mist City Arts and Science University is a very special university, as it was established only last year.

However, after researching some information, Liu Gongcheng found out that Mist City Arts and Science University was established on the basis of the former Mist City Siyuan University.

That makes sense, then.

"Professor Liu, we learned that you need a job with better salary and benefits. After Chen Ping’s recommendation, our Mist City Arts and Science University would like to hire you as a teacher."

Ding Yue stated his intention directly.

Because Ding Yue could tell that Professor Liu Gongcheng is a very forthright person, his mental outlook and all that looked quite good.

Apparently, he is fifty-three this year.

"Principal Ding, I’m wondering what kind of benefits your Mist City Arts and Science University can offer?" freёweɓnovel.com

Liu Gongcheng asked directly.

This is his most concern.

Because his son’s illness requires a large sum of money for treatment, which has already exhausted the family’s savings. And because the educational level of Carp City Architecture University has been declining year by year, the welfare and benefits of the faculty have also been reduced.

Therefore, Liu Gongcheng is considering taking a position at a university with better benefits.

"Professor Liu, I’m a very straightforward person. After coming to Mist City Arts and Science University, your current salary will increase by 50%, and our university’s faculty benefits are definitely much better than those at your current Carp City Architecture University."

Ding Yue gave the terms of Mist City Arts and Science University.

This is undoubtedly an attractive offer to Liu Gongcheng.

After all, his professor’s salary is quite good, and an increase of 50% on this basis is not a small amount.

"Principal Ding, thank you very much for offering such good terms. But I will be straightforward. Can I receive an advance on two years’ salary and benefits when signing the contract?"

Liu Gongcheng gritted his teeth and put forth his conditions.

"Of course. Director Chen Ping has told me about your family situation. I believe your son’s operation will definitely be successful. To show our warm welcome and sincerity at Mist City Arts and Science University, I’m willing to donate 100,000 yuan for his medical expenses."

Ding Yue agreed almost without hesitation.

Then he proposed to donate another 100,000 yuan, which instantly reassured Professor Liu Gongcheng.

You should know.

Professor Liu Gongcheng must have contacted more than one university. If he is to make up his mind to come to Mist City Arts and Science University, he needs to feel the advantages of Mist City Arts and Science University.

This 100,000 yuan may not mean much to Ding Yue.

But for Professor Liu Gongcheng, it was a different story.

"Thank you, thank you, Principal Ding!"

Liu Gongcheng was extremely grateful.

Ding Yue smiled slightly and said, "Professor Liu, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you’re willing to come to our Mist City Arts and Science University, you’re one of us from now on. You can regard Mist City Arts and Science University as your home."

Liu Gongcheng was truly moved. He didn’t expect that after so many years, he could still encounter such a warm and welcoming university.

Moreover, it is a private university.

In most people’s eyes, private universities are almost synonymous with making money because they charge high tuition fees with poor teaching quality. Except for a few strong private universities, other private universities often get a lot of bad press.

Yet, Mist City Arts and Science University is different, as Liu Gongcheng learned through the internet and his student Chen Ping before meeting with Ding Yue.

Even though the students admitted to Mist City Arts and Sciences University all failed the College Entrance Examination, the academic atmosphere of the school is exceptional. Thus, within a single term, a teacher-student team from the Architecture College was able to win the Hop Cup Best Creative Award.

This shows that the future is promising for this private institution!

On the other hand,

The Carp City Architecture University where Liu Gongcheng currently teaches is too rigid due to the entrenched mentality of the school leaders. With no strong ambition for progress, the university is stagnant and its competitiveness is gradually decreasing, hence, it has started to decline annually.

"Professor Liu, let me welcome you to Mist City Arts and Sciences University in advance," Ding Yue said, having finished their discussion and rising to shake hands with Professor Liu Gongcheng.

"Thank you, Principal Ding," Liu Gongcheng responded warmly, nodding his head slightly.

Ding Yue then took an employment contract from Wen Ruohan and offered it to Liu Gongcheng. "Professor Liu, please review the employment agreement carefully when you return. If there are any points that need to be negotiated, you can contact my secretary at any time."

"Alright."

When Liu Gongcheng received the contract, his hand trembled slightly from excitement.

That very night, Liu Gongcheng called Ding Yue to confirm that there were no issues with the employment contract.

The next morning, before Ding Yue left Carp City, Liu Gongcheng came to his hotel to officially sign the contract.

Later, at Carp City airport,

Ding Yue leisurely pulled up his system interface aboard the plane, in high spirits.

Task—[University Professor]

Progress: 1/5

If he recruits four more professors, Ding Yue will receive a Level 2 University Treasure Chest.

In fact, Ding Yue is more eager to recruit professors like Teacher Luo Xiang.

After all, if this kind of professor could come to teach at Mist City Arts and Sciences University, it would be a great sensation, demonstrating the university’s strength.

Ding Yue could also earn points to exchange and upgrade experience to increase the Popularity Value of Mist City Arts and Sciences University.

However,

Recruiting a professor like Luo Xiang is easier said than done. Mist City Arts and Sciences University would first have to create a legal robot to catch Luo Xiang’s attention.

It seems that they need to expedite the Big White Robot project.

Upon returning to Mist City Arts and Sciences University, Ding Yue had Huang Youjie, who was in charge of logistics, arrange a set of apartments in the school’s apartment building, preparing it in advance for Professor Liu Gongcheng.

It is a matter of course for university professors like Liu Gongcheng to be provided with a set of apartments for accommodation by the university.

Moreover, someone like Liu Gongcheng, who is being transferred from Carp City to teach in Mist City, has a greater need for a housing unit.

After settling the matter of Professor Liu Gongcheng, Ding Yue focused on completing his physics experiments one after another over the next period.

These included the mechanical young modulus measurement experiment, the optical experiment Michelson Interferometer, and the electrical experiment: the semiconductor electric photoelectric device characteristic measurement.

For Ding Yue, these experiments were not too challenging.

After he finished, he easily earned credits.

Half a month later, Liu Gongcheng arrived in Mist City from Carp City. Mist City Arts and Sciences University received its first Civil Engineering Professor.

The students of the Architecture College were very proud and elated.

Because, so far, within the entire school, there is only one professor,

The teaching work in March at Mist City Arts and Sciences University was carried out smoothly.

The teams from the Medical College, Law Department, Mechanical Department, and Computer Department have also begun the preliminary phase of the Big White Project one after the other.

In early April,

Ding Yue was in his office with Director Qi Chunsheng from the Academic Affairs Office discussing matters related to the scholarships and grants for the first academic year.

"So, our private university can also apply for National Scholarships and Grants, right?"

Ding Yue understood that in Parallel World’s Xia Country, as long as the Private University’s degree is recognized by the state, it also has the allocation of scholarships and grants.

"Yes, but compared to public universities, the proportion of quotas for our private universities would be lesser."

"That’s no problem, we can also set up our scholarships and grants."

Ding Yue reasoned that scholarships and grants were necessary incentives for students in any university.

Since private universities have a lower allocation of National Scholarships and Grants, Ding Yue could completely fund and set up scholarships and grants specifically for his university.

"But what kind of scale and proportion should we require for our university’s scholarships and grants?" Ding Yue asked again.

"Principal Ding, the National Scholarship is 8,000 yuan per student per academic year, whereas the National Grant for universities in Mist City generally ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 yuan."

"Alright. Let’s set the University Grant to range from 1,500 to 3,000 yuan. As for the scholarships, to motivate students to study hard, let’s set it to 15,000 yuan per academic year!"

Ding Yue knew that the number of students who applied for grants would be much higher than those who applied for scholarships, since scholarships are usually only awarded to students who rank at the top in their respective majors.

So, by setting the scholarship amount higher, it can motivate students to work harder.

In terms of grants, in addition to the National Grant that students can apply for, the school can simply increase the proportion of students receiving grants, according to the amount of the National Grant.

"Well, as Principal Ding says." Once Qi Chunsheng noted down Ding Yue’s instructions, he nodded and said, "Then I’ll arrange for the tutors of each department to notify the students to apply for scholarships and grants."

"Okay!"

Knock, Knock, Knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.
