Chapter 219
Almost all the staff from the old location of Starry Sky Kindergarten were here.
Watching everyone eat with gusto, Liu Chef felt deeply gratified. How would the kindergarten manage without him in the future?
Liu Chef truly considered Starry Sky Kindergarten his home.
These past few days, with Shen Wei and the others away participating in the show, no one knew how to cook, which had worried him terribly.
The online variety show's live broadcast being suspended and their return came as quite a surprise to Liu Chef.
But he quickly whipped up six dishes and a soup using what was available in the kitchen.
Everyone ate with great relish.
The rest of the staff gathered around to watch them eat.
Liu Chef had found a fan from somewhere and was fanning himself.
Seeing them enjoy the food gave Liu Chef more pleasure than eating himself.
Doctor Lu asked, "So how did that show end up?"
There were all kinds of rumors online.
The officials hadn't made any statements, and the trending topics kept getting suppressed.
Shen Wei said, "It might just be cancelled." They were also surprised when they received the notice.
This time, Lin Rui had been full of expectations for a free trip. She had even packed three large suitcases of clothes.
Having to pack up after just a few days was quite troublesome, especially since there was dust on the walls.
She had to take down all her clothes and send them to the dry cleaners for maintenance.
Shen Wei thought she would be furious.
Unexpectedly, Lin Rui was even more eager to return than she was.
They didn't know what was going on until they got back and could use their phones again.
This time, the live broadcast incident was due to Lu Zheng confessing his feelings to her.
Fortunately, Lin Rui's outright rejection gained her a wave of fans online.
If she had shown even a little consideration for his feelings, netizens would have accused her of ruining someone else's relationship. Thinking about it now still made her nervous.
However, compared to Lin Rui's trivial matters, the Lu Family's situation was clearly worse.
Being in the same wealthy circle, they received numerous calls upon their return.
Rumors were rampant that the Lu Family had fallen on hard times.
The three hundred million yuan compensation paid by Lu Zheng was actually from his father, who had declared that he would use this money to sever their father-son relationship.
From now on, Lu Zheng would have no connection to the Lu Family.
People in their circle, knowing Lu Zheng's unreliable character, were all trying to distance themselves from him.
After all, they were still father and son, so Lu Zheng's father was still trying his best to suppress the trending topics, spending another 20 million yuan on this effort.
Shen Wei and the others were collateral damage, but they had just received information that the show's production team had received Lu Zheng's compensation and planned to give them the 50 million yuan compensation as agreed. Suffering for two days in exchange for so much money wasn't bad at all.
The staff at Starry Sky Kindergarten were overjoyed to hear that they wouldn't be going on the show anymore.
Mainly because they saw how grueling it was to be on the show.
For instance, He Lingfeng had to teach continuously for 5 hours.
This intensity would be exhausting even for a young teacher, let alone a child.
It was even worse for Mu Zhixing.
Changing living environments is very unsettling for young children, and she still had to complete tasks for the show, like verbally explaining cooking methods.
Speaking of which, Liu Chef also expressed on the spot that Mu Zhixing could come to him anytime if she wanted to learn cooking in the future.
But the child was too young. She couldn't handle kitchen equipment now.
Otherwise, Liu Chef would have liked to take her as his apprentice.
Qi Zhong, who had been smiling and giving Mu Zhixing extra food, immediately disagreed when he heard Liu Chef's words.
"She should learn painting!" he emphasized.
Liu Chef smiled and said, "I understand, it depends on what the child is interested in!"
Ever since Liu Chef was betrayed by his former apprentice Liu Ming, he had given up on taking new apprentices.
Although he taught Jiang Xun, whom he had picked up from the culinary competition, to cook,
There was no formal master-apprentice relationship.
Both of them had reservations in their hearts.
They just got along as half-teacher, half-friend.
But Liu Chef's statement just now had opened a backdoor for Mu Zhixing.
Someone of Liu Chef's caliber held a very high position in the culinary world. If Mu Zhixing became his apprentice, she would be considered part of the inner circle in the culinary world.
Moreover, given how much Liu Chef liked Mu Zhixing, he would spare no effort in nurturing her in the future.
This would be an incredible opportunity for anyone interested in culinary arts.
Qi Zhong was very nervous.
Mu Zhixing seemed to sense her art teacher's unease and even poured him a glass of juice.
Qi Zhong had always treated Mu Zhixing like his own daughter. He was displeased just a moment ago, but upon receiving the juice, his face lit up with a smile.
Shen Wei had just sent over her bank account number when the other party transferred the 50 million yuan.
They had already discussed how to divide this money in the car.
The money would be split equally.
The two groups totaled 100 million yuan, and there were exactly five people. Each person would get 20 million yuan.
Lin Rui, who didn't lack money, immediately said she didn't want it and suggested giving her share to the children.
But Shen Wei refused.
Twenty million yuan was not a small amount. Moreover, He Lingfeng had strong principles and wouldn't accept money that wasn't his.
Hearing this, Lin Rui agreed.
Even though she didn't lack money, the idea of getting 20 million yuan in two days, and from the person she disliked the most, Lu Zheng, made her happy.
It felt like sweet revenge.
But they had agreed in the car on the way back to the kindergarten not to tell the other staff about this money.
Shen Wei discreetly transferred the received money to various accounts.
Before they left, they had already set up personal ID cards and bank accounts for the children.
With this money, even just earning interest would provide a significant monthly income.
Twenty million yuan is not a small amount for anyone.
They had dinner, and the two children, unable to stay up, went to rest first.
The adults gathered around the table to chat.
At this moment, a phone rang. It was Best Actor Song calling.
Shen Wei was a bit surprised.
Although they had exchanged contact information before, it was just out of courtesy.
She thought there wouldn't be much interaction after the show ended.
But Best Actor Song had called specifically, and after exchanging pleasantries, he finally expressed his thoughts.
"My daughter Xiaoxue is a rather well-behaved child. Would it be possible for her to attend Starry Sky Kindergarten in the future?"
After finishing the recording, he realized that veteran celebrities like them didn't have a kindergarten that stood out.
After searching online, he discovered how impressive Starry Sky Kindergarten was.
Moreover, having interacted with Shen Wei, he knew she genuinely cared for children.
They would feel at ease if their child attended this kindergarten.
The love of parents for their children is truly touching!
Ever since Song Xiaoxue was ready for kindergarten, Best Actor Song's whole family had been anxious. They had looked into many private kindergartens both domestically and abroad but couldn't make up their minds.
Seeing Shen Wei was like finding new hope.
Shen Wei said, "But isn't the child in The Capital? There are quite a few good kindergartens there too."
Best Actor Song said, "That's not a problem, I can buy a house there!"
Shen Wei replied, "Well, we can't add her to the current class, but we can wait for the second branch to open. I'll send you an electronic invitation now."
Although spots were precious, they had reserved some. They had previously given 200 spots to the new district. Shen Wei still had 50 spots in reserve for unexpected needs.
Best Actor Song was immediately overjoyed.
He quickly said, "I really don't know how to thank you enough."
"I quite liked little Xiaoxue when she was here too," Shen Wei said.
After hanging up, Best Actor Song sent the gift he had prepared long ago to Shen Wei.
It was a brand new luxury handbag in elephant gray.
The bag cost 300,000 yuan, and it wasn't even guaranteed you could buy one. It required additional purchases.
Shen Wei had just hung up when Pop Star Zhou called, also inquiring about kindergarten spots.
He was willing to buy a house in the area for his child's education.
Since Shen Wei had already agreed to Best Actor Song, she naturally couldn't treat them differently, so she agreed to Pop Star Zhou as well.
From this variety show appearance, Best Actor Song and Pop Star Zhou both received 50 million yuan in compensation.
Shen Wei gained two excellent students and also received compensation.
The only ones who got hurt were Lu Zheng and Shen Qingqing.
This variety show appearance.
It was worth it.
