CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 144: THE DEBATE BETWEEN SWEET AND SALTY (PART 1)_2

The Food Department has just been established, and while a broken leg is manageable and can be healed in time, a severed arm or hand injury, even if healed later, would interrupt current coursework.

Therefore, neither He Yuan nor Du Xixi can afford any accidents at this critical moment.

"I shouldn’t have jinxed it," Wenren Yu breathed a sigh of relief, surprised that his casual remark of concern actually led to He Yuan falling, "I’ll report the issue with the stairs to Director Lin when I see him later."

Fortunately, today He Yuan was saved by a Mechanical Soldier, but what if someone else gets hurt in the future? The Mechanical Soldiers are here to protect Du Xixi, and it’s impossible for them to guard the Food Department all the time.

The malfunctioning of the stairs’ automatic sensing function is indeed a significant problem.

This minor accident caused a brief delay, but with more than ten minutes left until the meeting started, everyone collected themselves and quickly walked towards the conference room outside Building Three.

As they left, the Mechanical Soldier walking behind Du Xixi turned back to scan the entire staircase of the building sharply.

The safety of the Princess cannot be compromised by anyone!

Many people were attending the meeting, all professors from various departments, and there was only one theme: the task planning for the upcoming academic year.

The professors from the Food Department, attending such a meeting for the first time, were under "the spotlight," especially with Du Xixi among them, attracting intentional or unintentional glances from others.

Du Xixi was fine with it, having long been accustomed to such benign attention, and she calmly browsed through a meeting booklet on the table in front of her.

In contrast to Du Xixi’s composure and calmness, Wenren Yu and the other three sat as if on pins and needles.

Previously, they were busy with archaeological research at the Cultural Relics Bureau, later learning culinary arts in the Food Department, mostly practicing cooking skills in the classroom daily. Their world was simple, at least not attracting any onlookers.

Now, even at this minor internal meeting of Blue Star University, they were already on edge due to others’ gazes and scrutiny; it was truly...

Wenren Yu and the others exchanged glances, then looked at the composed Du Xixi, who even had the leisure to greet Lin You at the main seat, and they all took a deep breath and tried to ignore those gazes.

Once all the professors had arrived, Lin You stood up, spoke softly into the microphone, and his voice instantly echoed through every corner of the conference room: "A new academic year has begun, and we have welcomed many outstanding students. We have also established the Food Department. I hope everyone can work together to uphold the prestige and glory of Blue Star University."

The task planning for the new academic year involves the school affairs of every department, which is why today’s meeting is chaired by Lin You. She took out a prepared planning book and, without any script, began explaining on the spot: "The number of new students enrolling this year is..."

Du Xixi and the others were somewhat inexperienced, having hastily learned how to be professors of a department. They felt quite apprehensive, so they listened very carefully, lest they miss any crucial information that would hinder the future development of the Food Department.

The meeting started precisely at 1:30 and ended at 3:40 in the evening. Du Xixi and the others walked absentmindedly among the group of professors, feeling that after Lin You’s arrangements, there was really nothing for them to worry about as long as they followed the plan.

Lin You held her position as the head of the office securely, which naturally reflected her capability. From the Military Department to the Ancient History Department, from the Food Department to the Medical Department, Lin You had considered all that Blue Star University had, arranging a series of plans without any flaws.

"Indeed, knowledge comes from learning, and mastery from specialization..." Zhang Ye patted his arm, feeling that he must have goosebumps all over, "No wonder Blue Star University is so formidable; even an internal meeting can be arranged so successfully. What shows on the outside must be even more impressive."

"Yes, compared to them, we’re quite lacking," Du Xixi nodded in agreement. In terms of cooking, she could easily outshine those professors, but when it comes to being a professor, she, as a non-professional, naturally could not compare to the experts.
