CHAPTER 1818: CHAPTER 952: ALL WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITIES

"Principal Ding, we’ve arrived in Ireland, but it seems like it’s still daytime here."

Wen Ruohan excitedly said to Principal Ding.

"There’s a time difference, after getting off the plane, let’s head to the hotel and take a good rest to adjust to the time zone," Ding Yue said to his secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Yue, we’ve already slept more than once on the plane, how can anyone sleep once we reach the hotel?"

Xu Bin teased.

"You have a point."

Hearing this, Ding Yue felt that Xu Bin made a valid point.

Even for himself, when he gets to the hotel, he probably won’t be able to sleep if he’s told to rest.

So Ding Yue thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Why don’t we find something to do to pass the time? Then when we get tired, it should be nighttime in Europe, and we can get some sleep."

"I think that’s a great idea, hahaha."

Xu Bin quite agreed with Yue’s suggestion.

Since they’ve come to Europe, they might as well have some fun with the students, and use the chance to adjust to the time difference. This way, they’ll be better prepared for the Metaverse Computer International Competition.

"Alright, let’s gather everyone. All entertainment expenses, except personal shopping, are on me,"

Ding Yue said generously.

He had no problem covering the entertainment expenses for everyone. However, if he personally wanted to buy something he needed, he’d still have to pay for it himself.

"Got it."

Xu Bin nodded repeatedly, then went to find the students from the computer team.

"Oh, and remember to tell everyone that if our Mist City Arts and Science University’s computer team wins the championship in this Metaverse Computer International Competition, then all their purchases in Europe, not just entertainment expenses, will be on me."

Ding Yue added more generously.

If they really win the Metaverse Computer International Competition, the rewards would surely be abundant. As the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, he should give the participants generous rewards, right?

"Okay, I’ll go motivate everyone, hahaha."

Xu Bin said with a big laugh.

Before long, Ding Yue, Xu Bin, and secretary Wen Ruohan, along with the nine members of the computer team, got off the plane and drove to the hotel in a rented car that had been prepared.

This time, the car rental was handled by Wen Ruohan, renting a Feiyue · Future electric vehicle produced by Feiyue Technology from an Irish car rental company that specializes in using Feiyue · Future electric vehicles for their rental services. After all, Feiyue · Future electric vehicles not only save energy but also provide a nice driving experience and look great.

Even domestic car rental companies have begun using Feiyue · Future electric vehicles for rentals.

There’s no choice. Feiyue · Future electric vehicles are just that good.

Other electric vehicles are almost on the verge of extinction and can’t hold up against Feiyue · Future electric vehicles. Even Tesla, which once held a dominant position, has decided to withdraw from the electric vehicle market.

The only domestic electric vehicle company that can hold on is BYD because they cater to the lower-end market with vehicles priced in the tens of thousands, but anything higher can’t compete with Feiyue · Future electric vehicles. BYD doesn’t dare to face Feiyue head-on.

BYD knows very well that if they try, they’ll fail.

The only reason BYD still holds some of the low-end electric vehicle market share is because Feiyue Group decided to leave them a way out. After all, BYD is considered one of the more hardworking domestic automakers. If Feiyue · Future electric vehicles were to enter the low-price market, BYD would surely collapse. Considering how many employees BYD has, if they went under, the unemployment problem for so many workers would need to be addressed.

Feiyue Technology couldn’t perfectly handle the fallout from BYD going bankrupt.

Thus, Feiyue Group has stuck to its original decision to leave a path for BYD to continue in the low-end electric vehicle market, allowing them to keep improving the quality of their vehicles while keeping prices down, ensuring real benefits for car owners.

After all, if BYD raised their prices, who would buy their cars? It’d be smarter to pay a little more to get a Feiyue · Future electric vehicle.

BYD is in survival mode, making no price hikes while upgrading their vehicles with each generation. This is the only way they can survive in the market.

After arriving at the hotel, Ding Yue’s group put their luggage away. Then Ding Yue led everyone out for a shopping spree and a tour of major entertainment spots.

From daylight till evening.

Even when evening came, everyone still had energy, perhaps because they slept enough on the plane or for some other reason.

No worries!

Since everyone was still energetic at night, they went to bars to drink and dance a bit, using up that energy so that when they got back, they’d fall asleep easily.

And indeed, that’s what happened.

Ding Yue and Xu Bin took everyone to have a blast at a bar for the night. Except for Wen Ruohan, who didn’t drink much, everyone else drank a lot and then went back to the hotel.

Ding Yue arranged for Wen Ruohan to book separate rooms for each member of the computer team, unless they insisted on rooming together due to a close relationship, in which case they’d share a room.

After returning to the hotel, Ding Yue fell onto his bed, drowsy and ready to sleep.

However, to ensure he’d wake up early the next day and adjust the time difference, Ding Yue picked up his phone to contact Big White.

Yes, Ding Yue’s phone could directly connect to Big White. Big White’s system was linked to his phone system.

Besides Big White not being physically there, all other functions were accessible via the phone.

"Big White."

"Principal, I’m here."

"Tomorrow morning, wake me up by nine at the latest, Irish time. Eight or eight-thirty would be fine too," Ding Yue instructed Big White.

"Understood, Principal. By any means necessary, wake you up by nine at the latest?"

Big White confirmed.

"Mm-hmm."

After nodding twice, Ding Yue finally couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.

Snore~

After spending the day expending a lot of energy and combining that with drinking and dancing at night, his body was tired and he was tipsy, making it easy for him to fall asleep.

The whole Mist City Arts and Science University team, except for Wen Ruohan who didn’t go straight to sleep after returning to the hotel, was asleep.

Wen Ruohan, having not drunk alcohol, played with her phone for a bit before finally setting it down to sleep.

The next morning.

It was morning in Ireland, with early spring sunlight shining into the hotel rooms. At eight in the morning, Big White called out to its owner, Ding Yue, through the phone.

But Ding Yue was in a deep sleep, having drunk quite a bit at the bar the previous night.

Unable to wake him at eight, Big White paused.

Then at eight-thirty, Big White tried again but still couldn’t wake him.

Until nine o’clock, since it was a must to wake up the owner, Big White resorted to using all its methods...
