Chapter 918: Chapter 621: What’s Going On? Why Is Everyone Gathered Together? Did Something Happen? (2)

"Yes, Chef Huang, regarding ingredients, no matter what special requirements you have, feel free to tell me. I will do my utmost to find the best quality ingredients for you, ensuring your dishes can be perfectly presented," Liu Suyu added.

Huang Jun, upon hearing this, was full of gratitude: "Thank you all so much for your support. I will do my best, wholeheartedly preparing each dish, striving to bring everyone an unforgettable culinary experience."

He paused slightly, gathered his thoughts, then politely bid farewell: "If there are no other matters to address, I’ll take my leave and head back to the kitchen."

Liang Yinqiu nodded gently in response: "Alright, Chef Huang, feel free to go ahead..."

"Take care, Chef Huang, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Suyu spoke softly, her eyes filled with warmth as she followed Huang Jun’s departing figure until he was completely out of the office and the door closed quietly; only then did she reluctantly look away.

Afterward, she gently turned to Liang Yinqiu, wanting to continue their previous conversation that had been interrupted.

But at that moment, Liang Yinqiu was unable to attend to her.

She elegantly turned around, returned to her desk, picked up her phone, and deftly opened the teachers’ communication group.

She carefully edited a notice: "Dear teachers, please check your messages. Thanks to the meticulous preparations of Chef Huang and other kitchen staff, our Children’s Day event menu has been finalized. Please inform the parents of the arrangements for the Children’s Day event within this week, so they can plan their time accordingly. Thank you all for your hard work and cooperation!"

With Liang Yinqiu successfully sending the message, the teachers of each class promptly responded, quickly taking action to relay the notice.

Thus.

In the afternoon, when the teachers safely escorted the children to the kindergarten entrance, meeting the parents there to pick them up, they enthusiastically stopped the parents and shared in detail the arrangements for the upcoming Children’s Day culinary event.

Many parents, who had gradually forgotten about the approaching Children’s Day event over time, were instantly reminded of this highly anticipated occasion, breaking into excited and expectant smiles.

In no time...

The entrance of the kindergarten became unusually lively.

Parents no longer hurried away as usual after picking up their children but gathered around the teachers, especially around Yang Yuxi, who found herself warmly surrounded by the parents of her class.

Xu Sijun, full of joy, said: "Ah, this is great, I will definitely come early to fully enjoy this rare culinary feast!"

Hanghang’s mother also beamed at Yang Yuxi: "Miss Yang, let me tell you, just follow the standard of the kids’ regular lunch, no need to go overboard."

Ni Shujing nodded in agreement: "Yes, just like the kids’ usual lunch is fine. You have no idea how every time I see the official videos of the kindergarten’s culinary offerings, I drool over them, but I can’t taste them. I can only watch through the screen!"

Hanghang’s mother nodded emphatically: "Yes, yes, I crave it too! Every time, I wish I could crawl through the Internet to taste these delicacies personally!"

Li Xiuxian pondered for a moment, unwilling to give up, and asked: "Miss Yang, can’t two parents come together?"

Upon hearing this, other parents also looked at Yang Yuxi with hopeful expressions, hoping for a favorable answer.

However...

Things didn’t go as they wished...

Yang Yuxi smiled and responded: "I’m sorry, Yuanyuan’s mom, this is how the kindergarten has arranged it, and I hope you understand."

Upon hearing this, the parents couldn’t help but reveal a touch of disappointment on their faces.

At that moment.

Qu Qing, who had just arrived, from afar saw the crowd of parents surrounding the teachers nearly blocking the entrance.

Her heart skipped a beat, fearing something unexpected had happened.

So...

She quickly stepped forward to inquire: "What’s going on? Why is everyone gathered here? Did something happen?"

No sooner had she spoken.

Wen Xueqian, who was in front of her, immediately turned around and enthusiastically informed her: "Miss Yang announced that on Children’s Day, parents can bring their kids to the kindergarten for a feast..."

Originally anxious and eager to pick up her son and head home, Qu Qing relaxed upon hearing this news, with her eyes sparkling with anticipation, she turned to Wen Xueqian and asked: "Hanhan’s mom, did Miss Yang say that several parents can come together?"

"A few others? There’s only one parent allowed..."

Wen Xueqian shook her head helplessly in response.

After all, one spot is indeed a bit limited!

She wished she could have one more spot.

This way, she and her husband could attend together without arguing over this single spot.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as hoped...

Only one spot means she will have to "compete" for it with her husband again.

Wait a minute...

Her husband is currently investing in a Dorami Kindergarten branch, giving him the privilege to enjoy meals in the kindergarten at any time.

In other words, the spot is entirely hers now!

At this thought.

Wen Xueqian couldn’t help but show a smug smile on her face.

Qu Qing, hearing this, felt that one spot was indeed a bit inadequate, but then she thought about the large number of children in the kindergarten. If each family allowed two parents to participate, it would undoubtedly increase the workload of the kitchen staff, which might be overwhelming. Hence, she gained a better understanding of the kindergarten’s decision.

However, this arrangement didn’t sit well with all parents, and the teachers of each class had to spend quite a bit of effort to finally persuade the parents to leave.

After the parents and children left, the teachers of each class walked toward the teaching building, intending to tidy up the classrooms before leaving for the day.

On their way to the classrooms, the teachers naturally gathered and chatted.

"Oh my, the parents from our class made my head spin just now, each hoping they could get a few more spots!" Xie Jianing sighed helplessly.

"Tell me about it; our class also faced the same situation."

Jiang Xinzhuo picked up the conversation, continuing with a deep sense of empathy: "Initially, the parents in our class didn’t say much, but they were still restrained, not reacting too intensely. However, when they heard that the older kids’ class had two parent spots, they immediately voiced their objections, finding it unfair. Although I explained it was because the older kids’ class is graduating, and there were special considerations, they still held onto their dissatisfaction. It took a lot of effort on my part to get them to reluctantly accept this decision."

"Our class situation was similar, but thankfully the parents eventually understood our difficulties." Lin Jiayi concurred.

Just then.

Huang Jun, accompanied by Qingqing and Weiwei, walked from the playground area, intending to go home, only to see the teachers returning later than usual. He couldn’t help but curiously ask: "What’s going on today? Why are you returning so late? Did the parents take longer to pick up the kids, so you waited longer?"

"Oh, don’t mention it."

Xie Jianing responded with a wry smile: "Just now, we notified the parents about the Children’s Day event, and as a result, the parents were so excited that they kept talking to us endlessly, which delayed us until now."

"Huang Jun, I have a feeling that on Children’s Day, you might need to work a bit harder." Yang Yuxi said sympathetically while looking at Huang Jun, "I heard many parents say they won’t have breakfast so they can come with empty stomachs to eat more!"

"Is that so..."

Huang Jun was somewhat surprised.

"It’s because your cooking skills are just too amazing, Chef Huang!" Jiang Xinzhuo joked, "If I were a parent, given such a rare opportunity to fill up, I’d definitely come with an empty stomach to feast."

"While our class’s parents didn’t explicitly say they’d come on an empty stomach, judging by their eager expressions, they probably plan to eat a lot too." Lin Jiayi laughed with helplessness.

Initially, Huang Jun didn’t feel too much about it, but after the teachers’ remarks, he couldn’t help but secretly feel grateful.

Grateful that Liang Yinqiu thoughtfully decided that only the oldest kids’ class would have two parent spots, while the younger and middle kids’ classes would each have only one.

Otherwise, he really might end up too busy to cope...

"No worries, I’ll prepare more food so everyone can eat to their heart’s content."

He replied with a smile, then left with Qingqing and Weiwei.

"Goodbye, teachers~"

Qingqing and Weiwei waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, Qingqing and Weiwei, see you tomorrow~"

The teachers waved back, watching them bounce away with Huang Jun out of the kindergarten gates...
