Chapter 83
The Shao Family, where Shao Dongdong belonged, was not particularly prominent among the wealthy families in the city.
However, he was just a branch of the Shao Family of the Capital. The main family was a prominent noble household nationwide.
The currently popular instant messaging app was under their family's control.
Previously, Mrs. Shao was somewhat dissatisfied with her child attending the Starry Sky Kindergarten for internet celebrities.
Although the local noble kindergartens couldn't quite live up to the "noble" title,
they were still the top choice for the scions of wealthy families.
How could her own child have to participate in a live audition for a kindergarten?
However, this dissatisfaction was quickly dispelled.
Because her child performed exceptionally well, both in street dance and piano recitals,
earning rounds of applause.
The comment streams were filled with glowing praises, which the secretary had captured and sent to them.
After all, every parent had a desire to show off their child's talents.
Even children from prestigious families were pressured from a young age,
undergoing rigorous training from a tender age.
What her child could do was not really extraordinary in the strict sense.
It was just the first time they had received so much praise from the general public.
No wonder those from wealthy families enjoyed being internet celebrities and stars.
This overwhelming adoration was quite addictive.Yoour favorite stories at novelhall.com
Ever since Shao Dongdong started attending the Starry Sky Kindergarten,
several members of their family had become fans of the kindergarten's live stream.
Now there were seven classes on livestream, so they couldn't see their own child every day like before.
But the other children were also very adorable.
It was currently Sunday.
Shao Dongdong was running and playing in the family's large garden, soon sweating all over before returning home.
Although Shao Dongdong was gentle and polite in front of others,
he didn't act that way around his mother, running over and reaching out with his grimy little hands to hug her.
Mrs. Shao said with disdain, "Look at you all sweaty and dirty, why don't you go take a bath?"
But still embraced her child.
Seeing Shao Dongdong giggling, beads of sweat glistening on his flushed, rosy cheeks, full of life.
It was a world of difference from before.
Previously, the child was raised to be a proper heir, polite and suppressing his emotions,
not as close with his parents.
Compared to the past, Mrs. Shao much preferred her child now.
Whenever Shao Dongdong was happy, he would repeat, "I love you, I love you!"
Even the usually reserved Mrs. Shao, who had received elite education since childhood, would break into a smile upon hearing it.
She felt that no warm man in the world could compare to her son's little finger.
Looks like he, as the husband, would have to put in more effort, lest he disappoint his wife and child.
This Starry Sky Kindergarten had given him a lively and affectionate treasure.
He hoped the kindergarten could last for a long time.
When the time comes, their second child would also attend the Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Indeed, before their second child was even conceived, the father had already made plans.
...
When Monday came around,
not only were the students brimming with enthusiasm,
but the faculty and staff were also energized upon returning to work.
Huddling together, they said, "I cooked some dishes recently, but why did they taste so bad?"
After getting used to the delicious food at the Starry Sky Kindergarten, their own cooking tasted bad, take-out was unappetizing, and eating out wasn't enjoyable either – their palates had become spoiled.
Several people didn't even eat breakfast, rushing to work and looking forward to a hearty lunch.
At that moment, the kitchen was bustling with activity.
The large steamer was filled with steaming rice.
It was clear that Liu Chef knew the habits of these people, as today he had specifically told the junior chef, "Steam an extra half crate of rice."
Now they had experience, unlike before when they didn't know.
On Mondays, there wasn't enough food cooked, and he rushed around buying rice.
But they used the finest Wuchang rice.
Rice from other places couldn't match the fragrance of the rice here.
Come Monday, after repressing their appetites for a long time, even the young teaching assistant could eat three bowls of rice.
Chef Chen said from the side, "Make a whole crate, it's better to have extra than not enough. Any leftovers can be made into fried rice with soy sauce next time."
Liu Chef said, "Alright, steam another crate!"
He then went to find Doctor Lu.
Ever since Shen Wei's parents were hospitalized, Doctor Lu had taken over the shopping duties.
Doctor Lu had never done it before and was flustered at first.
But a top student is a top student.
In just a few days, he had sorted everything out.
At this moment, Liu Chef came to him for one thing, "Little Lu, order another 5,000 pounds of rice."
"Ah? Didn't we just order 3,000 pounds?" Doctor Lu said in disbelief.
Liu Chef said from the side, "Hey, that's not enough, running a kindergarten isn't easy!"
They went through rice, flour, and oil so quickly.
It's only because Shen Wei had deep pockets that they hadn't gone under yet. Just the food expenses alone could bankrupt an ordinary kindergarten.
Thinking of this, even Liu Chef couldn't help but sigh.
This was probably his last job before retirement.
He was just working this job to support himself in old age.
No one hoped for Shen Wei to make more money than him.
