Chapter 12
Volume 1: The Default Chapter 12, Everyone Has a Heart for Comparison
Ever since the shop colleagues learned that the saleswoman Elder Sister Xu's darling daughter had actually enrolled in a kindergarten costing 260 per month, they suddenly became very interested!
Everyone knew how Elder Sister Xu doted on her precious daughter, earning 3,500 a month but willing to spend 4,500 on her daughter.
For someone who pampered her daughter so much, to choose such a kindergarten, everyone was quite curious.
"Elder Sister Xu, how's that kindergarten?"
Elder Sister Xu beamed: "It's great!" Then she shared her emotional journey over this period, having been anxious the whole way.
Elder Sister Xu had thought her Mother-in-law was being scammed.
Little did she expect that while they went for Teacher Tang, it was the environment that won them over.
The Starry Sky Kindergarten had surprisingly luxurious school buses, and the kindergarten meals were also impressively delicious.
She had lunch there once and almost wanted to pay to attend the kindergarten just to enjoy the food.
After all, these days, there really are adults who pay to eat at children's small tables.
But then she thought it would be too embarrassing.
At 260 a month, she was already fleecing the kindergarten's wool enough.
If the parents were to go eat there too, it would be going too far. Her daughter was her heart and soul, as long as the child ate well, that was enough.
Recently, her little Meng Meng has also come to love the kindergarten food, even saying she'll eat less in the evening so she can eat more there.
Even her Mother-in-law became proud, saying they chose the right kindergarten.
Now she addresses her Mother-in-law affectionately as 'Mom', which also contains an apology for her earlier suspicions.
Her Mother-in-law is showing off these days, but Elder Sister Xu doesn't mind, flattering her Mother-in-law with compliments every day in different ways.
As a mother, as long as her daughter is comfortable, she is comfortable.
Now their mother-daughter-in-law relationship is well-known in the community. Her Mother-in-law gains a lot of face.
As Elder Sister Xu chatted animatedly, a few unmarried young ladies listened in amazement.
"Wow, there's such a great kindergarten?"
"The kindergartens we went to as kids can't compare to this one."
"Kindergarten fees should be at this level. How much can working folks afford?"
"If all kindergartens charged this much, people would dare to have kids."
The main thing is that the cost of raising children has become lower.
Everyone discussed it with relish when suddenly a scornful voice interrupted.
"I thought it was someone else. It turns out to be Elder Sister Xu. Didn't you used to say you really loved your child? But now it seems not so much, putting her in such a poor kindergarten."
The bright yellow school bus was the most expensive 2 million yuan armored model.
This bus was only used by the elite classes at the Noble Kindergarten.
When the Noble Kindergarten did its massive publicity campaign back then, everyone learned about the price of this bus model.
Parents of students had hearts for comparison too.
The purchasing officer immediately saved this video and forwarded it to the admissions officer at her child's kindergarten.
She bluntly asked why others who paid only 260 a month had such great school buses, while she paid 3,800 but their bus was just ordinary, demanding an explanation.
The admissions officer, usually very polite, evaded the issue: "The faculty at our kindergarten is very strong!"
The purchasing officer said: "Their teacher is Teacher Tang."
The admissions officer continued listing her kindergarten's advantages: "We have a dedicated school doctor! If any student gets hurt, you don't need to worry."
The purchasing officer asked: "Is your doctor also from the pediatrics department of the municipal hospital?"
The admissions officer, starting to get flustered: "The food at our place is quite good."
The purchasing officer: "Is your head chef also from Jiangbei Hotel?"
The other side sent six ellipses.
The admissions officer was truly exasperated.
Finally, she said somewhat rudely: "You're only paying 3,800, without adding an extra zero at the end. If your demands are really so high, then I suggest you make a lateral move and choose elsewhere!"
The implication being, if you're going to talk like that, we won't serve you anymore.
The purchasing officer immediately got angry. Her tuition fees were over ten times more than Elder Sister Xu's.
Not only did she not get equivalent service, she was even given attitude.
She was furious, but didn't dare say much more.
After all, her child was still in their hands, worried that if she argued with the teachers, they might take it out on her daughter.
The next day, the purchasing officer wore a long face all day.
But no one paid her any attention, as the Starry Sky Kindergarten was too popular.
One by one, they all pulled Elder Sister Xu aside to ask how to enroll in that kindergarten.
Even if they didn't have children of the right age at home, relatives would certainly have some.
Rather than sending them to other kindergartens to be fleeced, it would be better to go to this Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Of course, the purchasing officer's relationship with Elder Sister Xu was too poor for her to directly ask.
But she walked by Elder Sister Xu's side nearly 10 times, each time straining her ears to catch some information.
With some piecing together, she also learned about the situation of the Starry Sky Kindergarten. She wanted to transfer her daughter there, but was afraid that Elder Sister Xu would hear about it and scoff or mock her, which made her even angrier for a while.
