Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 39 - Fountain_1
39: Chapter 39 Fountain_1
39 -39 Fountain_1
In the afternoon.
Ding Yue had Huang Youjie arrange for the logistic staff to prepare a dormitory in Liyuan Apartments.
“Yue, why did we specially prepare a dormitory?”
Huang Youjie curiously asked.
“My sister finished her classes this afternoon and gets a day off for the weekend, so she’s coming to visit us at Mist City Arts and Science University.”
After Ding Yue finished speaking, he picked up his car keys and left the Administration Building.
His Audi A8 was parked right downstairs, next to Huang Youjie and Xu Bin’s Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series.
“Xiao You, I’m leaving the school now.
If there’s no traffic, it should take me at most forty minutes to get to your school.”
After he got in the car, Ding Yue picked up his phone and sent a voice message to his sister Ding Xiaoyou on WhatsApp.
Then, he slowly drove his Audi A8 out of the Administration Building area and proceeded along Xingzhi Road towards the school gate.
Since all the students were undergoing military training on the sports field at this time, there weren’t many people on the main roads of the campus, only occasionally seeing some school staff.
Ding Yue drove the Audi A8 to the school gate.
When passing by the fountain in front of the gate, he stopped the car.
He had noticed this fountain the first time he came to rent a venue.
It was shaped like two crescents wrapped in a large circular pool, and in the protruding center was a winding oriental dragon, quite a nice design and full of grandeur.
However.
The fountain was completely dry, without a drop of water, with even some withered leaves scattered inside.
A waterless fountain completely loses its visual appeal, doesn’t it?
When you walk into the school from outside the gate, the first thing you see is this iconic Dragon Fountain.
It can be said that the gate of Mist City Arts and Science University and this Dragon Fountain, are key to the first impression.
But, the fountain isn’t spraying water and it also looks abandoned.
That’s just not right, is it?
Does Mist City Arts and Science University lack water?
A fountain should spray water all year round to symbolize that the inflow of students to Mist City Arts and Science University is also unceasing, and its educational efforts are strengthening year by year!
Uh, that seems a bit superstitious.
Thinking about this, Ding Yue quickly took out his phone and made a call to his father, Ding Jianjun.
“Hey Dad, are you busy?
Oh, okay, I’m here at the gate.
Could you come over?”
Ding Jianjun said he was free on the phone, so Ding Yue gave him a job.
The water and electric maintenance team was best suited for this task.
About five or six minutes later.
Ding Jianjun, his father, came to the gate.
“What’s up, son?
Anything I can help with?”
Ding Yue pointed to the huge fountain beside him and asked, “Dad, don’t you think this looks a bit off?”
“You mean this fountain?” Ding Jianjun turned his head to look at the fountain, then nodded and said, “It’s nice, quite large.”
Ding Yue was both amused and frustrated, and said straightforwardly: “Dad, there’s not a drop of water in this fountain, doesn’t that make it just a decoration?”
“So, shall we dismantle it?” said Ding Jianjun with widened eyes, hastily adding, “What a waste, we can just connect the water supply, repair or replace some of the broken water-spraying devices, right?”
Ding Yue was stunned on the spot.
The way his father interpreted it was on a whole different level.
When did he ever say anything about tearing it down?
“I mean, we should make use of it, let it spray water.
Dad, do you think your water and electricity maintenance team can handle it?”
“Of course, no problem at all.
I’ll call Zhang and the others right now.” As Ding Jianjun spoke, he took out his mobile phone, ready to call the water and electric maintenance team to get them to work.
“Alright, Dad, I’ll leave the fountain to you guys.
I’m going to pick up my sister.” After instructing, Ding Yue returned to his car.
Thump thump thump!
Dad Ding Jianjun knocked on the car window.
Ding Yue rolled down the window and asked, “What’s up, Dad?”
“Drive slower on the road, be safe,” Dad Ding Jianjun cautioned.
“Got it.”
…
An hour later.
In a milk tea shop outside Mist City First Middle School.
“Hmpf, you said forty minutes, it’s been an hour.
Don’t tell me there was a traffic jam, I don’t buy it.”
With a pout, Ding Xiaoyou was miffed as her brother’s tardiness made her wait alone for almost half an hour.
“Hehe, there was no jam, but I saw the fountain at the school gate was broken when I just left the campus, so I called Dad over to fix it and got delayed a bit.
Here, what milk tea do you want to drink, sister?
It’s my treat!” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Ding Yue scratched his head, chuckling as he explained.
“Then I want a Snowy Fairy Milk Tea!”
“Boss, a Snowy Fairy Milk Tea, and also a pearl milk tea for me…
Oh right, sis, how does it feel being in senior year?”
“Um, no special feeling.” Ding Xiaoyou seemed relaxed.
For many students, senior year is filled with pressure.
They need to be on high alert all year round for the College Entrance Examination, hoping to achieve high scores.
But Ding Xiaoyou is different.
As a top student, all she needs to do is finish the College Entrance Examination smoothly.
Then she can think about whether to apply for Qinghua or Yancheng University.
Of course, being a science student, she, obviously, will not choose Yancheng University.
The difference between Qinghua and Yancheng University, the two top universities in Xia Country, is quite clear.
Qinghua is known for its science and engineering courses, while Yancheng mainly focusses on humanities.
“True, for you, it’s easy to get into either Qinghua or Yancheng.
Tell me, we’re both born to the same parents, why are you such a genius and I such a dud?”
“Hehe, big brother, who asked you not to take your studies seriously in junior high and high school?
You are not stupid.”
“True, so if I study hard now, is it too late?”
“Shouldn’t be, but big brother, you’re already running a university as a principal.
Why study anymore?
Just focus on making money from the school.”
“No can do.
Sure I need to make money, but also need to improve myself.
Don’t want to end up as a dropout when you become a doctorate, that would be embarrassing, right, haha.”
“That kind of makes sense.
So, what will you study, brother?”
“Humanities are definitely out, just looking at the many lines of words give me a headache, I’d rather look at formulas.
As for science, I haven’t yet figured out what major to choose.”
As the siblings talked, their milk tea was ready.
Happily holding her milk tea, Ding Xiaoyou got into the car with her brother Ding Yue, who then drove towards the Arts and Science University of Mist City.
The siblings chatted a lot along the way.
Ding Yue told his sister that he would decide which major to study once the university officially began classes.
He plans on earning a Bachelor’s degree in his major from his own university, the Arts and Science University of Mist City, before considering going for a postgraduate degree.
Forty minutes later.
Ding Yue drove his sister to the Arts and Science University of Mist City.
The moment they reached the school gate, Ding Yue saw the big fountain, which had been fixed by their dad Ding Jianjun and his team.
The sound of rushing water echoed around them, and the main jet in the middle surged straight into the sky, with water shooting up over five meters high.
It was quite a sight, with a small rainbow even forming around the fountain.
Looking at the constantly spraying fountain, Ding Yue couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, that’s a lot of water.”
“Huh?
What did you say just now, big brother?”
