When Shen Wei rushed over, NiuNiu's mother was carrying NiuNiu down the stairs.
Although NiuNiu was crying pitifully, she still managed to greet Shen Wei: "Hello, Principal Sister."
Seeing NiuNiu in such a state made Shen Wei's heart ache. She said, "Baby, you mustn't do this again. Next time, if you come to work with grandpa, you must tell him you're here!"
At least there was someone watching the child; today had been far too dangerous.
NiuNiu nodded and said, "Mommy already spanked me. I know I was wrong."
Shen Wei said, "NiuNiu is a good girl. Next time, I'll give you an extra piece of cake!"
Only then did NiuNiu happily respond with an "Mm-hmm."
NiuNiu's mother said, "I'll take the child home now!"
She was also grateful to Shen Wei.
She had heard NiuNiu praise her kindergarten principal countless times. When children like someone, adults tend to like them too.
When Shen Wei went to find Liu Chef, she saw that he was still crying sorrowfully.
Shen Wei pretended not to notice and knocked on the door.
Liu Chef hurriedly wiped away his tears, but his nose was still bright red.
He was getting old, and now he couldn't bear to see his granddaughter cry. Back when he was raising his son, he hadn't hesitated to use the belt on them. It's true what they say about grandparents being closer to their grandchildren than to their own children.
Seeing Shen Wei, Liu Chef perked up and said, "What's the matter?"
Shen Wei said, "I've just been in touch with the best construction company in the city. The blueprints for the branch school are already done. Our Starry Sky Kindergarten will have three floors in total. We've also planned a small vegetable garden for you!"
The outdoor playground also needed to be planned in advance.
Then Shen Wei pulled up the blueprints on her phone to show him, asking if there was anything that needed to be changed.
For this Starry Sky Kindergarten, the government department had directly contacted the best construction company in the industry.
Without connections from higher-ups, it would have been impossible to find such an impressive company to build Shen Wei's kindergarten.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Liu Chef took a look and thought it was excellent: "The efficiency is quite impressive!"
It hadn't been long since they acquired the land, and the chef competition here hadn't even finished yet.
But the construction blueprints were already done. No wonder these companies make money; their execution ability was impressive.
Even he had to admire it.
Shen Wei asked, "Is there anything else you need to add on your end?"
Everyone else had already reviewed it; Liu Chef was the last one.
Liu Chef said, "No, that's fine. Oh, just make sure the kitchen is a bit larger!"
Shen Wei said, "Don't worry, we've already planned for that!"
Then she brought out the kitchen blueprints.
They had planned for three cafeterias in total.
Liu Chef asked, "How much is this going to cost?" The design plans for the renovation looked very good.
Shen Wei said one hundred million yuan.
All the money she had added up to exactly one hundred million yuan.
Liu Chef joked, "Everyone can spot good talent. If I hadn't given my old friends a heads up in advance, those other judges would have snatched them up!"
They all had various restaurants under their management.
Liu Chef thought that although the competition wasn't over, they needed to ask about the intention to join early for the people they had decided on.
Otherwise, in the end, the chosen people might end up working for others.
Shen Wei said, "You're more professional at this than I am. You have free rein to handle it, and I fully support you."
Liu Chef knew that Shen Wei supported him.
But every time he heard Shen Wei delegate authority like this, he was still deeply moved.
Fortunately, he had come to Starry Sky Kindergarten. This was the most fulfilling job he had ever had in his life.
Liu Chef said, "Then I'll get right on it!"
Then he took the contracts and went to ask if they had any intention of joining. His efficiency in getting things done was like that of a young person.
...
Shen Wei was thinking about starting construction as soon as possible.
Because the new district had only given her a year's time.
Now Starry Sky Kindergarten was even more popular.
So once the design draft was completed on one side, the other side needed to start work immediately.
However, Shen Wei knew nothing about this. So she couldn't help but ask Gu Qingyan about it.
As soon as Gu Qingyan heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "You can rest assured leaving this matter to me. I'll definitely oversee the whole process beautifully for you."
Shen Wei said, "Thank you so much!"
Gu Qingyan's ears grew a bit hot, and his eyes couldn't quite meet Shen Wei's: "There's no need for thanks between us. Just watch and see."
Shen Wei said, "Alright!"
Gu Qingyan waved his hand: "You seem quite busy with things on your end, so you should head back first."
Shen Wei indeed had a lot on her plate right now.
Hearing Gu Qingyan's words, she had no choice but to leave.
However, just five minutes after walking away, she suddenly realized she hadn't given Gu Qingyan the blueprints yet, so she turned back. Unexpectedly, she overheard Gu Qingyan making a phone call behind her back.
"Brother, I want to ask how exactly do I oversee this project? What do I need to do now? Who should I contact?"
He nervously fired off three questions in a row: "You've got to help me with this."
The voice on the other end of the phone was quite loud: "That's what you get for taking on this job without understanding it first. Now you're in a panic!" His brother was teasing him a bit.
But the Gu Corporation did have construction-related businesses under its umbrella, so they could definitely help. Still, he couldn't resist teasing Gu Qingyan a little.
After being mocked, Gu Qingyan wasn't angry and said, "I had no choice, I'm a man after all. A man can't say he's not up to the task."
Shen Wei fell silent after hearing this.
She knew Gu Qingyan was someone who cared about saving face, so she quietly left.
She didn't let Gu Qingyan know she had overheard.
She sent the blueprints to him via WeChat instead.
In her heart, though, she felt she owed Gu Qingyan an enormous favor.
