“Principal Ding, you asked for me?”

After arriving at the principal’s office, Wen Ruohan cautiously asked.

Ding Yue was sorting through the school-related documents and various materials, which would definitely be needed when he went to the Education Bureau to apply for the educational land allocation shortly.

“Yes, come with me to the Education Bureau later.”

Ding Yue put the sorted documents into a file folder, sealed it off and handed it to Wen Ruohan.

“Huh?

Principal Ding, what are we going to do at the Education Bureau?”

Wen Ruohan blinked, asking curiously.

“We’re applying for an educational land allocation.

Before the school starts recruiting students in the next year, our school is going to expand, constructing new libraries, dormitories, enlarge the cafeteria building and various educational facilities.”

Ding Yue briefly explained.

“Wow, we’re going to expand!” Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan’s face immediately lit up with a joyful smile: “The library is indeed a bit small.

There are too many people.

I’ve missed out on finding a seat there several times.”

The matter of school expansion is indeed imperative.

Even though the current Mist City Arts and Science University is capable of accommodating nearly ten thousand students without any problems and the dormitories are not yet filled to capacity.

But the school only has one freshman class now.

After school starts next September, the current nine thousand and six hundred plus people will be sophomores, and by then, a new batch of freshmen will be recruited.

The Mist City Arts and Science University adheres to a “democratic enrollment but strict graduation” education policy, and it is estimated that the enrollment next year will be even larger than this year’s.

At that time, several dormitories, libraries, as well as canteens will have to be constructed to meet the students’ living and learning needs.

Let alone in four years’ time, with students of four grades, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the school will accommodate tens of thousands of students on campus, and 2500 acres of teaching land and basic teaching facilities will definitely run short.

Therefore.

Ding Yue planned to start expanding the school gradually from this year.

And to expand the campus, the first step is to secure a plot of educational land allocation.

Ding Yue need the land to the west of Mist City Arts and Science University, which is mostly desolate, as the university is already on the outer edge of University Town.

“Wen Ruohan, can you make a trip to the Academic Affairs Office and get a document from Director Qi?”

“Sure.”

After receiving her orders, Wen Ruohan immediately dashed out of the principal’s office, heading to the Academic Affairs Office downstairs.

With her long legs, she gets things done quickly.

When Ding Yue goes to the Education Bureau to apply for the educational land allocation, he needs to have all sorts of documents prepared, to avoid a wasted trip.

The required application materials mainly include—

1.

Land Application

2.

Business License or Non-profit Legal Person Registration Certificate, Legal Representative Certificate (or ID card), and Organization Code Certificate;

3.

Approval document or Record Registration Form issued by the department with project approval authority

5.

Approval document for the construction land project

6.

“Construction Project Site Selection Opinion Report”

7.

Evaluation Report and Record Form

8.

Other related materials etc

First, a filing registration is carried out in the Education Bureau, then an application to the City Construction Department for a site selection opinion report is made, followed by a trip to the Planning Department to handle project planning approval documents, then to the City Construction Department to handle land use planning permits, before applying to the Land Management Department for the allocation of land.

The procedure and process are complex.

If one has connections, things might be simpler.

But Ding Yue doesn’t have such connections currently, so he can only follow each step of the process.

In the past, money could get things done.

But in these times of clean governance, such tactics are not acceptable.

“Principal Ding, I’ve brought the documents and materials.” Wen Ruohan, looking excited, returned to the principal’s office with the materials in hand.

“Great, pack up all the materials and take them with you.

Come with me.”

After Ding Yue finished, he walked out of the office.

Wen Ruohan quickly packed all the materials into a file bag, held it tightly in her arms, and followed Principal Ding’s pace.

The two of them headed downstairs; Ding Yue got into his Audi A8, while Wen Ruohan sat in the backseat clutching the documents.

Ironically, Ding Yue seemed more like a chauffeur now.

As the Audi A8 slowly pulled out of Mist City Arts and Science University, they set off on a bad note, getting caught in a traffic jam on the way to the Education Bureau.

It took an agonizing hour and twenty minutes before they finally reached the Mist City Education Bureau.

After inquiring about the procedures, Ding Yue, and his secretary, Wen Ruohan, ended up at the door of the office responsible for the registration of educational land allocation for record purposes.

“Principal Ding, let me handle this.”

This young lady, Wen Ruohan, had sharp instincts.

Seeing the office door closed, she stepped forward and knocked.

“Come in.”

The reply came from a female voice inside the office.

“Hello, we’re from Mist City Arts and Science University, we’re here to register an application for educational land allocation required for the construction and expansion of our school.”

“Oh, you’ll have to wait and discuss this with Director Zhang when he comes back.”

“Where did Director Zhang go?” Wen Ruohan asked.

“He’s in a meeting.”

“How long will it take?”

“Approximately half an hour.”

Dejected, Wen Ruohan emerged from the office and told Principal Ding, “Principal Ding, we’ll have to wait for half an hour.”

“Nevermind, let’s wait.” Ding Yue wasn’t too surprised.

It’s normal for things in Xia Country to not go smoothly.

It’s just bad timing that we’ve arrived right when they’re having a meeting.

The only choice we have is to wait.

They said it would be half an hour.

But in a blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

“Principal Ding, is it always this difficult for us ordinary folks to get things done with these bureaucrats?” Wen Ruohan, clearly impatient with the waiting, began to complain.

Ding Yue chuckled and shook his head, “Don’t exaggerate.

Didn’t they say that Director Zhang is in a meeting?

We’ve simply arrived at the wrong time.”

“Humph, who knows if he’s really in a meeting.” Wen Ruohan huffed arrogantly, “My butt is getting sore from sitting.

My guess is they’ll just keep passing the buck, kicking us around.

These bureaucrats are all the same.”

As Ding Yue and Wen Ruohan were chatting, a middle-aged man approached from a distance.

He seemed around fifty, holding a thermos in his hand.

“What can I help you two with?”

Upon seeing two young people sitting outside his office, Zhang Jianyang curiously asked.

“Ah, we’re here to see Director Zhang,” Ding Yue answered.

Zhang Jianyang opened the office door and chuckled, “Come on in.

I am Zhang Jianyang.”

Seeing this man’s refined and easy-going manner, Ding Yue thought he may not be the kind of bureaucrat that Wen Ruohan spoke of, the one who takes up space without serving a purpose.

So, Ding Yue quickly nodded to Wen Ruohan and followed him into his office.

“Director Zhang, I am Ding Yue, the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University.

We are here to register for educational land allocation required for the university’s expansion.”

Ding Yue clarified their purpose.

“Mist City Arts and Science University?

That’s the well-reputed private institution among the students, right?” Zhang Jianyang asked with a smile.

“Director Zhang, you know about our Mist City Arts and Science University?”

“Ha ha ha, a distant relative of mine has a son studying at your university.

Now, onto the official business.

Did you bring all the required documents and qualifications?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan quickly presented the bag full of application materials for educational land allocation to Zhang Jianyang.

After a brief look at the main documents, Zhang Jianyang nodded and said, “Leave the application materials here.

We will notify you within three days whether the registration has been approved.

Once approved, you can go to the City Construction Department to get the Construction Project Site Selection Opinion Report, and then…”

…

Ten minutes later, Ding Yue and Wen Ruohan left the Education Bureau.

At this moment, Ding Yue felt refreshed, laughing as he looked over at Wen Ruohan.

“What do you think, Ruohan?

You didn’t expect it to be so smooth, did you?”

Wen Ruohan quickly lowered her head in embarrassment.

What was it she had said earlier?

Her face was burning in shame now.
