Yan Bingshan and Li Baoshan exchanged a glance, and Wang Qingguo also gestured from the side.

"Just tell me."

"This matter will be considered within our province."

"As long as your request isn't excessive, we will definitely support you."

Seeing that Wang Qingguo had given him a way out, Lin Yifeng didn't rush to state his demands, but continued to explain.

That's right.

"Of the three spots, two have already been decided, besides Pingyuan University."

"Currently, our tentative plans are for the Teachers' College and the Medical College."

Yan Bingshan and Li Baoshan frowned slightly.

Wang Qingguo also looked at Lin Yifeng with some doubt.

After the three gestured for Lin Yifeng to continue, Lin Yifeng took a deep breath, as if he had made a big decision.

"I've thought about it for a bit."

"It would be inappropriate for the remaining two vocational colleges and one undergraduate institution to remain in Makino City."

"I hope that this time we can expand the number of places in Makino City to four, with three of the junior colleges being merged into one college."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingshan and the other two gasped in shock.

Li Baoshan frowned, put the teacup to his lips, and murmured softly.

"merge?"

"That's interesting."

"This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this."

After speaking, Li Baoshan took a sip of hot tea and glanced at Yan Bingshan out of the corner of his eye.

Clearly, Yan Bingshan was also somewhat shocked by Lin Yifeng's statement.

In all the years that Zhongzhou Province has been under construction, there has never been any talk of a merger.

Although many universities in China have merged, these were merely mergers of main campuses and branch campuses during turbulent times, essentially reuniting them as one.

This was the first time the three of them had ever heard of three different types of vocational colleges merging.

Yan Bingshan hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Lin Yifeng, then at Ma Ning and Ye Wuzheng beside Lin Yifeng.

The subtle expressions on their faces quickly made Yan Bingshan realize that the merger was not so simple.

Lin Yifeng probably has other plans; the merger is just a way to test their intentions.

Li Baoshan also noticed this, and he winked at Wang Qingguo.

Wang Qingguo understood immediately and stepped forward on behalf of his two seniors.

"It's not impossible."

"But it still depends on the school's wishes."

"We'll think about it when we get back."

Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed across Ye Wuzheng and Ma Ning's eyes.

Lin Yifeng's meeting directly resolved the predicament of Zhao Youming, Qian Feng, and Zhou Zhengcheng, and it can be said that these three now owe Lin Yifeng a great favor.

However, their worries soon shifted from that matter to another, even bigger plan that Lin Yifeng had told them that night.

This plan not only targets Makino City, but could even affect Shangdu and the entire Zhongzhou Province.

Yan Bingshan coughed softly.

"You kid, you must have something else on your mind."

"The three of us are here today."

"Just tell me."

Li Baoshan nodded, still filled with curiosity.

Seeing the curious looks on the three men's faces, Lin Yifeng decisively began to speak.

"Not just these."

"I also want to integrate educational resources."

"We will develop the Pingyuan New Area into a true university town."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingshan and his two companions were stunned once again.

The university town has already been confirmed, so why is Lin Yifeng bringing it up again?

But the three seasoned officials quickly grasped the key point in Lin Yifeng's words.

Integrate educational resources.

A true university town.

Li Baoshan was the first to sense the ambition revealed in Lin Yifeng's words, and immediately took the initiative to question him with a serious expression.

"Explain in detail."

Seeing that Li Baoshan had spoken, Lin Yifeng hurriedly offered an explanation.

"I want to bring together educational resources from all over Central Province."

"Transform the entire area of ​​the Pingyuan New District into a city entirely comprised of universities."

"By taking advantage of the convenient transportation between Makino City and Shangdu, we can create a representative educational city in Zhongzhou Province."

A brief silence fell over the room.

Ye Wu and Ma Ning were sitting on the table, their fists clenched tightly with worry, their palms sweating profusely.

As members of the system, they knew all too well that Lin Yifeng's actions were altering the original plans established within the Pingyuan New Area. If implemented, it would offend a large number of people within the Zhongzhou Province system.

At this point, even Wang Qingguo couldn't sit still any longer, and his tone became stern.

"Lin Yifeng!"

Do you know what you're saying?

"You're only responsible for the integration of Makino City; these things aren't your concern."

After saying these words, Wang Qingguo realized that his tone had been a bit harsh.

He himself had high hopes for the future of this young man, Lin Yifeng, but he never expected that Lin Yifeng would be so foolish as to come up with such an offensive plan.

Wang Qingguo gradually slowed his tone, using questions to remind Lin Yifeng.

Even if integration is possible.

"Xiaolin, have you considered the issue of belonging?"

"Does this matter fall under the jurisdiction of Makino City, or is it handled by Shangdu?"

Little did anyone know that Lin Yifeng didn't hesitate for a moment.

As if he had been waiting for Wang Qingguo to say those words, he uttered those eight words with unwavering certainty.

"Supervised by provincial and ministerial authorities, and directly under the central government."

The moment those eight words were uttered, the room fell into dead silence once more.

Ye Wu and Ma Ning stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe Lin Yifeng's explanation.

Prior to this, the two had no idea about Lin Yifeng's plan, only that Lin Yifeng wanted to expand the scale of the university town.
