Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 208 - 194: What Benefits Did You Get from Dorami Kindergarten?

Chapter 208: Chapter 194: What Benefits Did You Get from Dorami Kindergarten?

Time silently slipped away, and unknowingly, September 20th had arrived.

For most people, this day might seem ordinary, but for Dorami Kindergarten, it was a special occasion—the important moment of the expert review panel coming to evaluate their ranking.

For this day, Liang Yinqiu led the kindergarten teachers to start their busy preparations early.

They meticulously arranged the environment and organized materials to welcome the arrival of the review panel.

Every detail was repeatedly scrutinized to ensure that Dorami Kindergarten would present its best side.

For Wan Zhenhong, deputy director of the Education Bureau, and Xin Jinghui, the new director of the Office of the Ministry of Education, today was also a day of great anticipation.

After all, this review was not just a comprehensive inspection of Dorami Kindergarten but also an important investigation of the entire education sector.

More importantly...

They could finally openly enjoy Chef Huang’s cuisine again.

Therefore.

Early in the morning, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui seemed a bit impatient, constantly urging the expert review panel to set off quickly. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

This unusual eagerness...

Surprised the expert panel members, sparking their curiosity.

Sharing the same car, Jiao Ziming, who had a good relationship with them, looked at them with a "there’s something strange going on" expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Old Wan, Old Xin, why are you two acting so strange today? Oh wait, more correctly, the whole situation is odd, come on, tell us what cunning plan you two have in mind?"

Looking back at previous reviews, they received orders from above and passively accepted their tasks.

But this time, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui were exceptionally eager, not only proactively contacting the review panel to confirm the review date at Dorami Kindergarten but also frequently calling this morning, urging an early departure.

This unusually proactive attitude left Jiao Ziming and other review experts somewhat puzzled, their curiosity growing.

They couldn’t help but speculate—what’s the hidden reason behind this?

If it weren’t for knowing Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui’s character, one might suspect whether they were receiving some benefits from Dorami Kindergarten?

Is that why they’re so enthusiastic?

Faced with Jiao Ziming’s inquiry, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui exchanged looks and responded with a laugh, "We’re always this dedicated to work, aren’t we?"

Pfft!

Dedicated my foot! Always this dedicated to work!

Usually enthusiastic, but not to this extent!

Especially Xin Jinghui, who in the past never accompanied reviews in person to any kindergartens...

But today, he’s here, tagging along happily!

There must be some undisclosed plot behind this!

Jiao Ziming, with a "why don’t I believe you" expression, watched them, a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth: "We’ve worked together for so many years, I know the winds you blow. Come on, is there a secret this time?"

"No secret, really. Old Jiao, you’re good at everything, but your suspicion is too strong..."

Under Jiao Ziming’s scrutiny, Wan Zhenhong felt uneasy but continued to laugh it off, trying to change the topic.

Seeing this, Xin Jinghui quickly agreed: "Indeed, indeed, Old Jiao, we’re old friends, don’t you trust us? This is just an ordinary work review; there are no secrets."

Watching their somewhat guilty appearances, Jiao Ziming grew even more curious.

Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui have always been very steady people, so this atypical behavior must mean something’s up...

So then...

He deliberately put on a serious face, with an "I see right through you" look, saying, "You two, stop playing games. I’m telling you, though I’m suspicious by nature, I’m usually right. There must be a reason for your behavior today. Spill it, stop hiding."

Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui exchanged a glance, lamenting internally.

Knowing Jiao Ziming, if they didn’t reveal the truth, this guy would keep pressing until they revealed their real intentions.

But...

If they let him know the real reason for their enthusiasm was just for the meal at Dorami Kindergarten, how would they maintain face in the Education Bureau?

They are dignified leaders, after all, don’t they care about their reputation?

Thinking about it, both frowned.

Even if they didn’t say it now, sly Jiao Ziming would eventually catch on...

And then they’d surely be the butt of a joke.

Oh well, oh well.

Since it’d come out sooner or later, might as well lay it out now while it’s just them.

Wan Zhenhong sighed, helplessly shook his head, and said, "Old Jiao, to be honest, we do have a reason for being so proactive this time."

Hearing this, Jiao Ziming immediately perked up.

He widened his eyes at Wan Zhenhong, urging, "Come on, out with it, what’s the reason?"

Embarrassed, Wan Zhenhong chuckled awkwardly, "Actually... we just wanted to eat the food at Dorami Kindergarten."

"What?"

Jiao Ziming’s jaw almost dropped onto his shoe with a "clang", as he momentarily wondered if he had misheard.

Honestly, he had considered many possibilities, but this was one he hadn’t even imagined!

Seriously speaking.

Leaders from the Education Bureau are actually craving the food from a kindergarten? Are you serious?

Or are you just trying to tease him, making him laugh to death so you can inherit his ant credit?

He couldn’t help but ask again: "Are you saying that your enthusiasm is all about eating the food at Dorami Kindergarten?"

Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui nodded vigorously.

Wan Zhenhong was even more enthusiastic, "Old Jiao, you don’t know, the food at Dorami Kindergarten is absolutely the best cafeteria food I’ve ever had, even better than the Education Bureau’s cafeteria!"

Xin Jinghui quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, at the start of the school year, I went with Old Wan to Dorami Kindergarten to do some start-of-term guidance work. After tasting the food there, we couldn’t forget it and kept missing that taste."

Listening to their description, Jiao Ziming still felt somewhat skeptical.

"How good can a kindergarten’s food be? Are you perhaps exaggerating?"

Alas!

The farthest distance in the world isn’t life and death, but them telling him the truth and he not believing it.

Wan Zhenhong confidently assured, "Old Jiao, once you taste it, you’ll know we’re not deceiving you. Every word we’ve said is the truth."

Xin Jinghui nodded in agreement, "Absolutely, once you try it, you’ll definitely feel the same as us."

Wan Zhenhong reminisced with an intoxicated expression, "Old Jiao, you have no idea. Chef Huang’s braised pork at Dorami Kindergarten, the taste is simply amazing! It’s fatty yet not greasy, melts in your mouth, and every bite is pure happiness. Old Xin and I tried it once and have been longing for it ever since."

Though Jiao Ziming still had some doubts, looking at the serious expressions on their faces, he couldn’t help but be extremely curious about Dorami Kindergarten’s food, and very intrigued by the chef there.

After all.

Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui were effectively praising Huang Jun’s food to the skies.

He chuckled and said, "Alright, since you’ve been praising Dorami Kindergarten’s food all the way, I definitely have to try it to see just how good it is! If it doesn’t taste good, Old Wan, your long-cherished bottle of Maotai won’t be safe."

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

What does that mean?

That old fox is actually eyeing his long-cherished bottle of Maotai?!

Wan Zhenhong instantly had a look of "Old Jiao, you’re not playing fair here! I consider you a friend, and you’re eyeing my wine," as he stared at Jiao Ziming.

But upon second thought.

The other party could only think about it, never getting a chance to taste it.

Don’t ask why?

It’s all about trust in Huang Jun’s culinary skills!

Wan Zhenhong said, "Old Jiao, if you want to taste my long-cherished bottle of Maotai, you might have to wait patiently for a while."

Jiao Ziming responded, "Never say never!"

As they conversed.

The convoy slowly pulled into Dorami Kindergarten’s parking lot, smoothly stopping at the designated spot.

The car doors opened...

Wan Zhenhong and the others filed out, their gazes landing...

Seeing Director Liang Yinqiu smiling at the entrance of the kindergarten, with a group of school leaders standing neatly behind her.

Liang Yinqiu came forward, shaking hands with Wan Zhenhong, Xin Jinghui, and the others one by one.

"Director Wan, Director Xin, and all the review experts, hello, I’m glad to see you!" she smiled warmly, "Welcome to Dorami Kindergarten, it’s an honor for our staff and students. We’re truly grateful that you took time from your busy work to evaluate us."

She paused slightly, then continued: "The evaluation is really important for our kindergarten, it’s like a mirror showing us our strengths and weaknesses. We are very eager to hear the opinions of all you experts, the words you share are crucial for the development of our kindergarten..."

Wan Zhenhong, Xin Jinghui, and others all expressed that they would fulfill their duties seriously and conduct the evaluation fairly and objectively.

After the pleasantries, guided by Liang Yinqiu, the group entered the kindergarten to start a full day of evaluation work.

They walked through the spacious and bright corridors and arrived at a well-equipped activity room.

Here, under the careful guidance of the teachers, children were engaged in various colorful activities, their faces brimming with innocent smiles, laughter echoing around, filled with youthful innocence and vitality.

Members of the review team carefully observed every detail, from educational philosophy to curriculum setup, from teacher qualifications to teaching environment, conducting a thorough understanding and assessment.

They attentively listened to Director Liang Yinqiu’s report, gaining a clearer understanding of Dorami Kindergarten’s educational characteristics, teaching achievements, and future development plans.

At the same time, the review team members meticulously examined Dorami Kindergarten’s overall appearance, facilities, outdoor environment, and class environment of different venues.

They gave full affirmation to the kindergarten’s hardware facilities and software environment, acknowledging that Dorami Kindergarten has done an excellent job in creating a warm, comfortable, and safe learning environment.

In reviewing applicant teachers’ profiles, the review team members were even more thorough and meticulous.

They carefully evaluated each applicant teacher’s academic background, teaching experience, and educational philosophy, ensuring that the kindergarten’s teaching capacity could meet the educational and teaching needs...
