Chapter 105
After Shen's Father recovered his health, he insisted on returning to the Starry Sky Kindergarten, and no one could stop him.
He had been hospitalized for over a month, constantly keeping an eye on the kindergarten and sending red envelopes to the employee group chat.
Seeing the bustling pop-up store, he had energy but nowhere to expend it.
Fortunately, his recovery was going well, and the doctor advised him to rest at home, but Shen Wei was concerned that he would overexert himself and wanted him to stay home.
He had previously been quite obedient to Shen Wei's words.
But after a month, he came to the kindergarten with his belongings, missing it too much.
Shen's Mother told Shen Wei, "If you don't let your father come, he'll come anyway!"
Faced with Shen's Mother's complaint, Shen's Father didn't refute it, only saying, "I'm feeling much better now." He still spoke with a hint of concern for Shen Wei's reaction, fearing she wouldn't agree.
Shen Wei said, "Okay. But don't overdo it."
Shen's Father nodded and finally broke into a smile.
Before coming, Shen's Father was afraid his daughter wouldn't agree.
He had truly become addicted to the Starry Sky Kindergarten and enjoyed the comfortable environment.
Everyone was busy with the same purpose, which was very invigorating.
Over the years, Shen's Father had made a considerable amount of money, either through land acquisitions and demolitions when he was younger or by buying stocks.
But he had never been involved in the industry and was often mocked by the so-called upper-class wealthy people.
Now, he could finally hold his head high.
Shen Wei gave Doctor Lu a few reminders.
Doctor Lu patted his chest and promised, "I'll definitely keep an eye on Old Shen and make sure he doesn't overwork himself."
Shen Wei went to speak with Liu Chef, saying, "By the end of the year, we'll give Doctor Lu a 20,000 yuan raise and make him a manager as well."
During this period, Doctor Lu had been busy without a break.
Liu Chef fully supported this decision, having long felt that Doctor Lu was a promising manager.
Doctor Lu was young and picked up new things exceptionally fast.
With him around, Liu Chef could take it a bit easier.
Now that Liu Chef's vegetable garden had become popular, many students' parents were willing to pay high prices to buy the produce.
They also enthusiastically posted positive reviews online.
Being praised so lavishly, Liu Chef had truly become addicted.
What Liu Chef didn't know was that the seeds for this little vegetable garden were provided by Shen Wei.
They were seeds selected by the System, with high yields, pest and disease resistance, and exceptional flavor.
Compared to the vegetables from large greenhouses, their vegetables were a level above.
Anyone who tasted them had nothing but praise.
Liu Chef wanted to continue developing this vegetable garden.
But Chef Chen had been keeping an eye on him.
The last time, he had distributed the produce without consulting anyone, and Chef Chen had been furious. Now, he still had a sour expression whenever he saw Liu Chef.
Currently, Liu Chef's only regret was the small size of the vegetable garden.
If they could secure a larger plot of land,
Even if Shen Wei spent 2 million yuan on a vegetable garden,
Gu Qingyan thought it was impressive.
He immediately went to negotiate and bargain with the car wash owner.
Initially, the owner wanted to sell for 1 million yuan but backed out.
Now, they were asking for 2 million yuan, leaving room for negotiation.
Ultimately, through Gu Qingyan's bargaining skills, they settled on 1.5 million yuan.
However, demolishing the entire area not only required filing paperwork but also involved demolition costs.
With various fees added up, the total cost was 500,000 yuan.
In the end, it still amounted to 2 million yuan.
The authorities quickly approved their plan.
Soon after, construction work began next door.
If someone else had attempted this, it would have been extremely difficult.
Because it was right next to a kindergarten,
the loud noises and pervasive dust would have had a significant impact on the children's health.
Shen Wei specifically used 500 points from the System's point mall to redeem a massive dust barrier.
The kindergarten was securely enclosed within it!
The children were transported to and from school by shuttle buses, avoiding any contact with dust, and even the noise was minimal.
It didn't affect the children running and playing in the Starry Sky Kindergarten at all!
Shen Wei thought spending 2 million on a vegetable garden would make others in the kindergarten think it was absurd.
These days, she felt a little self-conscious walking around the kindergarten.
Unexpectedly, others, like Gu Qingyan, had an inexplicable reverence for Shen Wei.
Especially Liu Chef, he had reddened eyes several times when looking at Shen Wei.
Liu Chef never expected Shen Wei to take his words so much to heart.
Just because he casually mentioned something, Shen Wei actually paid such a high price for it.
Having such a great leader who values her employees' words, at that moment, he instantly understood the ancient feeling of willing to die for one's mentor.
Liu Chef's gaze towards Shen Wei became complicated.
Regardless of what others think, he was determined to follow Shen Wei to the end.
Upon hearing this, Chef Chen was also stunned.
The vegetables from the garden were of much better quality than those bought from the market.
For an excellent chef, having good ingredients made cooking more enjoyable.
Now that this had happened, seeing Liu Chef's eagerness to sacrifice himself for Shen Wei, he understood.
No wonder Liu Chef refused to leave no matter how many people tried to poach him.
Shen Wei was someone worth following.
Chef Chen was also touched.
Shen Wei didn't expect that by simply completing a task for the System, she unexpectedly won everyone's heart.
