The rain threads were still fine as woven, silently nourishing the earth, with the air filled with the fragrance of soil and the freshness of new leaves.

"Screech—"

With a series of soft braking noises, the wheels gently rolled over the wet ground, splashing tiny water droplets, as three private cars parked one after another in front of Dorami Kindergarten.

As the car doors slowly opened...

A multitude of colorful umbrellas, like flowers blooming in the rain, adorned the gray sky.

Under the umbrellas were vibrant young faces, exuding the breath of youthfulness.

That’s right.

These ten individuals were the teacher team from the Government Kindergarten, carefully selected elite members by Deng Manli, each being a standout in the field of education.

Today, they came with a humble heart to learn, without competition, without conflict, solely for mutual learning and improvement through interaction.

Yet the issue is...

In terms of faculty and resources, Dorami Kindergarten seemed not to match Government Kindergarten; could they really gain valuable experience here?

Seeing Director Deng and Jiang Weihong elegantly descend from the cars with umbrellas, the surrounding teachers immediately greeted them warmly, surrounding them as they walked together towards the guardroom beside the kindergarten entrance.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Jiang Weihong reached out and gently knocked on the guardroom’s door, creating a clear sound.

Uncle Li, upon hearing the rhythmic knocking, couldn’t help but lift his head, curiously searching for the source of the sound.

When his sight fell on a group of beautiful women outside the door, a slight sense of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Hmm?

Could these people possibly be those trend-chasing online influencers again?

But on second thought, it shouldn’t be, as ever since Officer Yue sternly warned those influencers not to step foot here again, they had vanished without a trace.

Recalling Director Liang Yinqiu’s special reminder yesterday about Director Deng and the teachers from Government Kindergarten visiting today for exchange. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He roughly guessed their identities.

Thus...

He immediately rose, walking steadily to the door, smiled politely, and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Jiang Weihong smiled and responded, "Hello, sir, I am Jiang Weihong, the director of Government Kindergarten, and this is Director Deng of our kindergarten. We have scheduled a meeting with Director Liang of your kindergarten today to exchange and learn."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li immediately showed a warm smile: "Oh, so you are Director Jiang and Director Deng, welcome, welcome! Director Liang has instructed us, please wait a moment, I will notify her right away."

With that, Uncle Li turned to his desk, quickly picked up the phone, and dialed Liang Yinqiu’s number agilely.

Soon, the familiar voice of Director Liang came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Uncle Li, what’s the matter? Oh, is it that Director Deng from Government Kindergarten and her group have arrived?"

"Director Liang, yes, Director Jiang and Director Deng have arrived and are waiting for you in the guardroom now."

"Oh, alright, I understand. Let them come in first; I’ll be there shortly."

After hanging up, Uncle Li returned to the guardroom, conveyed Director Liang’s message to Director Jiang and Director Deng: "Director Liang is on her way, why don’t you enter the kindergarten and wait; you’ll see her soon."

Jiang Weihong, smiling, said, "Alright, thank you so much, sir."

"No problem, it’s my duty!"

Uncle Li nodded with a smile, then swiftly picked up the keys and skillfully opened the kindergarten gate.

As the gate slowly opened...

Jiang Weihong, Deng Manli, and the accompanying teachers walked into the kindergarten.

The rain threads gently brushed against the umbrellas like fine needles, making a crisp "pitter-patter" sound, accompanying this melody of nature, Deng Manli carefully observed the entirety of the kindergarten as she walked.

Honestly, the scenery at Dorami Kindergarten was quite admirable.

Beyond the gate, on the left was a vibrant stretch of grass, lush green, with small pits scattered over it where children could dig sand and play, experiencing the joy of nature.

Turning to the right was a colorful playground.

Children could ride tricycles, push tires, and play freely there.

Along one side of the playground, there were climbing frames, swings, and slides. Though their scale seemed rather small, compared to the large facilities of Government Kindergarten, they resembled the typical children’s play areas commonly seen in parks.

The teaching and office buildings, weathered by time, appeared somewhat worn; the wall paint was peeling, and the window glass had lost its former luster. In contrast to the brand-new, modern buildings of Government Kindergarten, this place appeared notably simple, even somewhat outdated.

Indeed.

The decline of Dorami Kindergarten seemed reasonable.

With such outdated play facilities and buildings, it was hard to attract those discerning parents, coupled with the fact that its fees were not insignificant. Amidst today’s endless stream of excellent kindergartens on the market, Dorami Kindergarten gradually lost its competitive edge.

Therefore, its decline became an inevitable trend.

Recalling Director Liang and the teachers at Dorami Kindergarten praising Government Kindergarten yesterday—"the entire design is so beautiful"—Deng Manli naturally felt a sense of superiority arising in her heart.

"Director Deng, Director Liang is here..."

Jiang Weihong gently reminded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Deng Manli looked up...

Gradually, Liang Yinqiu’s figure appeared in her line of sight.

She was dressed in a simple and elegant dark blue business suit, holding a transparent plastic umbrella, gracefully stepping through the rain with a gentle smile on her face.

"Welcome, Director Deng, Director Jiang, and all the teachers." Liang Yinqiu smiled warmly: "With such heavy rain, you still managed to come to our Dorami Kindergarten, you must have had a hard time."

Deng Manli responded with a smile: "Director Liang, you flatter us. We are very honored to have the opportunity to come here to learn and exchange ideas."

Jiang Weihong also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, we are very interested in Dorami Kindergarten’s educational philosophy and teaching methods. We hope that today’s exchange will further deepen the understanding and cooperation between our two kindergartens."

Liang Yinqiu enthusiastically invited: "Then let’s not stand here. Please come in, I’ve arranged the meeting room. We can sit there and have some tea, and once class starts, we’ll head over."

Deng Manli and the others nodded: "Sure, thank you, Director Liang."

Following Liang Yinqiu’s guidance, the group moved towards the office building behind.

Just as they were about to step onto the stairs...

A faint sound of renovation quietly reached their ears, and a hint of puzzlement appeared on Deng Manli’s face.

"Director Liang, is your kindergarten undergoing renovations? Is it a complete makeover?"

"No, Director Deng." Liang Yinqiu smiled and shook her head slightly, explaining: "Our kindergarten is simply adding an employee activity room, mainly to provide a warm and comfortable space for exercise and leisure for the teachers and staff."

Oh?

It’s really unnoticeable...

That Dorami Kindergarten is so considerate of its teachers and staff, even specially creating an activity room for them.

The teachers from the Government Kindergarten, upon hearing this, immediately felt that Liang Yinqiu was a caring director from Huaxia.

After all, their own Government Kindergarten did not offer such benefits.

Looking citywide, there are probably few kindergartens that can offer such treatment...

Deng Manli curiously asked: "Director Liang, how did you come up with the idea of establishing this employee activity room?"

Liang Yinqiu replied with a smile: "Our kindergarten’s chef is very talented, and the teachers are often tempted by the delicious food, unable to resist eating a bit more. But eating too much makes them worry about their figure, so they suggested that I set up an employee activity room with fitness equipment, allowing them to work out during their free time to maintain their figures. Coincidentally, President Liu from Runan Group heard about our plan to set up this activity room and generously invested in it, enabling our plan to be successfully realized."

Huh?

President Liu from Rui’an Group investing in Dorami Kindergarten to build an employee activity room?

Is that true?

Could it be that Director Liang is just saying this to enhance her own reputation?

Liang Yinqiu’s words echoed in the ears of Deng Manli and the others, making them show a look of surprise on their faces. But seeing Liang Yinqiu’s confident and assured expression made them feel that her words were true.

Thinking further about the recent buzz on the internet regarding President Liu’s daughter transferring to Dorami Kindergarten, combining these two things naturally made them believe...

Evidently, there might be deeper connections and meanings behind President Liu’s investment.

But in any case, this investment is undoubtedly a great thing for Dorami Kindergarten.

With the backing of Rui’an Group, the kindergarten’s development prospects will be even broader...

It’s impossible not to be envious...

Speaking of which.

Why hasn’t their Government Kindergarten met such a generous "patron"?

Moreover, even the Deputy Head of the Education Bureau couldn’t be retained...

It’s really lamentable.

What makes them even more helpless is...

This Deputy Director of the Education Bureau has now become a strong backer of Dorami Kindergarten, even actively helping to contact experts for rating the kindergarten.

And the reason for all this is entirely because of Dorami Kindergarten’s food!

Honestly speaking.

They never thought that Dorami Kindergarten would stand out again because of its food, being praised and celebrated by parents...

Although Jiang Weihong felt a bit helpless and envious, she took the lead in breaking the silence, smiling politely: "Director Liang, you really have foresight. Not only do you care about the health of the teachers, but you also managed to garner support from Runan Group, which is truly admirable."

Liang Yinqiu smiled gently, responding: "Director Jiang, you flatter me. I’m just trying my best to create a better working environment for the teachers. I believe a healthy team can cultivate better children."

Deng Manli nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Director Liang’s approach is worth learning from. I believe today’s exchange will be very fruitful for us."

During their conversation, the group arrived at the meeting room.

"Please come in, please come in." Liang Yinqiu enthusiastically opened the meeting room door, saying: "I’ve prepared some tea and snacks for everyone. I hope in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, we can have an in-depth exchange."

The meeting room door slowly opened, revealing a neat long table surrounded by comfortable chairs.

Deng Manli, Jiang Weihong, and the other teachers all took their seats, ready to begin this eagerly anticipated exchange activity.
