Chapter 47
The Noble Kindergarten has always held a prestigious position.
Many middle-class families want to enroll their children in this kindergarten, but they need to make a reservation half a year in advance.
Parents from both families have to go through interviews and verify their assets.
Just the preparation materials for the interview, when printed out, form a thick stack.
Children must have at least 1-2 special talents before entering the kindergarten.
Being able to speak a foreign language fluently is already the lowest standard for the kindergarten. Many kids have even learned the expensive equestrian skills.
The parents' group of the kindergarten is even more spectacular. Whenever there is an event, they compete to be the lead parent, showing off various resumes, which is quite intimidating. There are even Greater China CEOs of multinational corporations.
It's hard to imagine that parents have to put in so much effort just for a kindergarten.
Therefore, the Noble Kindergarten has no real rival in the city.
They had heard about the Starry Sky Kindergarten before, but the Noble School didn't take it seriously at all.
They didn't even give it a glance, as if giving it a glance would be an elevation. No matter how popular it became online, it would eventually fade away from people's attention.
But when Liu Chen, the young master of the Liu family, went to the Starry Sky Kindergarten, this news spread, and Teacher Zhang from the Noble Kindergarten's admissions office became a bit restless.
Others might only see the Liu family as wealthy, but they knew that the Liu family was not just ordinary rich.
They were among the top ten richest families in their city.
Their family businesses added up to over a billion!
For such a pampered young master like Liu Chen, their kindergarten had previously sent teachers to approach the Liu family, hoping that Liu Chen would come to their kindergarten.
They even brought many toys and gifts, but unfortunately, they didn't even get to see Liu Chen's face.
At that time, Teacher Zhang thought it was normal because such wealthy families might not keep their children in this city.
They might go abroad or to a bigger city and choose a better kindergarten.
But she didn't expect the Liu family to choose the Starry Sky Kindergarten.
For the Noble Kindergarten, Liu Chen was an important source of students. One Liu Chen was more valuable than 100 children from middle-class families.
With him going to the Starry Sky Kindergarten, how could Teacher Zhang in charge of admissions not be concerned?
The key was that this was a signal. She was afraid that these wealthy families would follow the trend and all go to the internet-famous kindergarten, undermining her position.
So even if it was just one young master from a wealthy family who went there, it was enough to raise Teacher Zhang's alertness to the highest level, and she immediately reported to the principal.
The principal didn't expect that this internet-famous kindergarten would actually have the ability to shake the position they had built over the years.
Considering Teacher Zhang's understanding of wealthy families and their tendency to follow trends and flock together, he realized her concern was reasonable.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
"So what do you think we should do now?"
The principal looked at Teacher Zhang. Since she had come to talk to him, she must have had a solution in mind.
They didn't know what had gotten into them this year.
How could kindergartens be so competitive, one after another?
The Starry Sky Kindergarten was one thing since they didn't accept students.
But the Noble Kindergarten was the nightmare of all kindergartens.
Now, with their overwhelming promotion, it became even more difficult for others to recruit students.
And some people had learned from inside sources that they had spent 10 million yuan just on promotion this time.
10 million yuan – that's the construction and operating cost of 10 kindergartens combined, spent on a single promotion campaign.
It seemed that only the Starry Sky Kindergarten could compete with the Noble Kindergarten.
After all, they were run by a rich second-generation, so it was like a battle between gods, with the little ones suffering.
At the Starry Sky Kindergarten, Shen Wei learned about the Noble Kindergarten's operations through the system.
But since they were not in the same league, she didn't take it too seriously.
She was in a good mood, as Professor He Lingfeng's online courses had reached 100 class hours.
The children were like sponges, learning hungrily.
They had already grasped the basics.
Every time Professor Liu gave lessons to the children, his eyes were brimming with kindness and admiration. Those who didn't know him would think he was their own grandfather!
He Lingfeng also enjoyed attending Professor Liu's classes very much.
Each time he would say "Hello, teacher!" with a crisp voice, making Professor Liu's face crease into a flower of smiles.
Recently, Professor Liu had indeed been enduring unprecedented hardships at the Third-tier school.
But now, a student like He Lingfeng was enough to erase all his past regrets.
There was also a feeling of gratitude - he was lucky to have come here, where the food was particularly good. Teaching the children and enjoying some delicious home-cooked meals put his mind at ease.
A few days ago, he had contacted his old friend Professor Gao after finishing some work and gave him a call.
"Old Liu, you've taken on a closed-door disciple too?" Professor Gao specialized in computer science, but he used to be a mathematics professor too! He was a top expert in both fields.
Professor Liu asked, "Closed-door disciple?"
Professor Gao said over the phone, "The one logging into your account!"
Since this student was only taking basic subjects,
it definitely wouldn't be Professor Liu himself.
On the mathematics forums, there were beginner sections with some internal teaching materials compiled by these masters. Only their most esteemed students were granted the privilege of accessing such materials.
So Professor Gao assumed this was the case this time too.
