Chapter 444: Chapter 405: Glorious Moments in Dorami Kindergarten’s History

"Phew~"

Liu Suyu jogged all the way to the kitchen, breathing lightly, her chest heaving with each breath.

She paused briefly at the kitchen door, gently tapped her chest to calm her racing heart and regulate her breathing.

After adjusting her appearance in the glass and feeling satisfied, she stepped into the kitchen...

"Manager Liu, how come you have the time to visit the kitchen? Here to lend a hand to Chef Huang again?" Aunt Li heard the crisp click of high heels on the floor, looked up in response to the sound, and upon seeing Liu Suyu’s radiant figure, she teased with a smile.

"Aunt Li, I’m not here to help today, I’m here to check if the pastries are ready?"

Liu Suyu’s lips curved into a faint smile as she explained her purpose: "The education department leaders will be here soon. Director Liang asked me to arrange sending some sweets to her office later."

Aunt Li chuckled: "A simple phone call would suffice; I could have sent them over, no need for you to come personally."

"I was supposed to accompany Director Liang to the kindergarten entrance to welcome the education department leaders, but suddenly remembered their change in timing, so Director Liang sent me here." Liu Suyu’s cool face still held a faint smile: "Oh, by the way, are the pastries ready yet, Chef Huang?"

"Almost, they’re baking, should be ready to come out soon." Aunt Li smiled.

"Great! I’ll go in and take a look!"

Saying this, Liu Suyu quickly prepared herself to enter the workspace: She carefully sanitized, washed her hands thoroughly, and put on a mask before stepping into the bustling workspace.

"Chef Huang, I’m here to see if your pastries are ready; three important leaders from the education department will be coming over soon."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jun looked a bit surprised: "Weren’t they supposed to arrive at noon? How come they’re early?"

A trace of awareness flashed through Liu Suyu’s beautiful eyes: "Why else indeed! Why else! I guess Director Wan and Director Xin couldn’t resist your craft; that’s why they’re coming early."

This kind of thing...

Director Wan and Director Xin really would do something like this!

Huang Jun also chuckled, then said: "Manager Liu, the pastries will be out in five minutes, would you like to wait here for a bit?"

"Alright, I’ll wait here then."

Liu Suyu nodded happily.

Actually, she had a little selfish motive, hoping to take this chance to taste a few once they’re freshly out of the oven.

She waited quietly by Huang Jun’s side, secretly looking forward to the imminent deliciousness, hoping it would come out soon to satisfy her craving.

As time passed...

Rich aromas began wafting from the oven.

A crisp "ding" sounded, Huang Jun opened the oven door, and a more intense coconut scent immediately filled the workspace, directly reaching everyone’s nostrils.

So fragrant...

Liu Suyu’s delicate nose couldn’t help but twitch, her tummy grumbled with cravings, and her throat gently moved.

Luckily Huang Jun wasn’t beside her; had he heard, she’d surely want to find a hole to crawl into out of embarrassment.

Huang Jun, wearing professional baking gloves, steadily took out the tray. The golden, alluring coconut-flavored pastries lay quietly on the tray, each one perfectly flawless.

"They’re out!"

Huang Jun announced softly.

Liu Suyu stepped forward, looking at the freshly baked pastries, golden in color, slightly cracked, revealing the coconut filling inside, she couldn’t help but praise: "Hmm, these coconut pastries smell amazing and look great, Chef Huang, your pastries keep getting better, they’re better than any dessert shop..."

Huang Jun replied with a smile: "Thank you, Manager Liu. Just let them cool for a bit, then we can plate them and send them to Director Liang’s office."

"Alright, thank you!"

Liu Suyu nodded, noticing Huang Jun hadn’t invited her to taste, felt a bit disappointed, and quietly grumbled internally.

The next moment...

Huang Jun’s voice reached her ears: "Manager Liu, would you like to try one first?"

Then she saw Huang Jun with a slight smile, holding a freshly baked coconut pastry.

Alright, alright!

For the sake of your invitation, I’ll forgive you!

The surprise invitation dispelled the gloom in her heart, a charming curve appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Sure!"

Saying this, she gracefully accepted the pastry from Huang Jun, gently blew on it, and took a small bite.

Hmm, the texture—

Incredibly crispy, each bite allows the flaky crust to gently crumble on her tongue, seemingly melting her heart along with the wonderful taste...

...

At the entrance of Dorami Kindergarten...

"Director Liang, look, the black car approaching the intersection... is that the education department leaders’ car?"

With this inquiry, the previously chatting crowd instantly quieted down, all eyes turning to the nearby intersection...

There, a black car steadily came into view.

Liang Yinqiu leaned slightly, carefully scrutinizing the license plate number, confirmed it, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that’s the education department’s car. Everyone, let’s stay composed and maintain our demeanor..."

"Don’t worry, Director Liang, we’ll greet Director Wei with full enthusiasm and spirit."

The kindergarten leaders nodded at each other knowingly, quickly adjusting their postures, standing in neat rows, with straight backs and smiles on their faces, displaying the best spirit to welcome the arrival of the director of the education bureau.

"They’re coming, they’re coming..."

As the black vehicle slowly approached the entrance of the kindergarten, the expressions of Liang Yinqiu and the other leaders gradually became serious and full of anticipation.

The next second...

The special car from the education bureau parked steadily at the kindergarten gate.

The car door slowly opened...

Wei Guodong, with a tall and imposing presence, was the first to step out,

followed closely by Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui, whose strides were steady and marked by smiles, also exuding the demeanor of educators.

But among the three, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Xin Jinghui.

Not because of his signature bald hairstyle, but because of the mysterious item he was holding, covered with a bright red silk cloth.

The shape and outline vaguely revealed beneath the silk made the leaders present curious, their eyes sparkling with expectation.

They were almost certain that beneath the red silk cloth must be the eagerly anticipated Class One certificate of the kindergarten.

One must say,

the education bureau folks sure have a strong sense of ceremony!

"Director Wei, Vice Director Wan, Director Xin! It’s such an honor and excitement for us to have all of you visiting our kindergarten." Liang Yinqiu smiled warmly, stepping forward to shake hands with each of them in turn.

Wei Guodong smiled and extended his hand, his eyes full of appreciation: "Director Liang, congratulations on your kindergarten being awarded Class One status. This is the best recognition of your hard work and a great contribution to the entire education sector."

Liang Yinqiu’s eyes sparkled with excitement, gratefully saying, "Director Wei, this honor is not only a recognition of our kindergarten but also the highest praise for every colleague who has silently dedicated themselves selflessly to education. We will cherish this honor and continue to work hard, living up to everyone’s expectations, making more contributions to the future of the children."

As Liang Yinqiu finished speaking, the surrounding kindergarten leaders all nodded, pride and joy glowing on their faces.

Meanwhile, Xin Jinghui unveiled the red silk cloth, revealing the exquisite certificate and medal beneath.

In the sunlight...

They shone with the golden glow symbolizing the honor and recognition of Dorami Kindergarten.

Xin Jinghui smiled and handed the items to Liang Yinqiu, saying, "Director Liang, here is the Class One certificate. Please find someone to place it properly at the entrance. Also, please keep this medal safe."

Liang Yinqiu received them with both hands, thanking him gratefully, "Sure! Thank you, Director Xin, for your hard work!"

"Not at all, it’s my duty!" Xin Jinghui smiled slightly.

Liang Yinqiu then turned to Wei Guodong and Wan Zhenhong with a suggestion, "Director Wei, Vice Director Wan, shall we take a group photo to commemorate this moment?"

"Sure!"

Wei Guodong and Wan Zhenhong nodded in agreement, proposing, "Let’s take it in front of the entrance sign over there!"

With that, Wei Guodong and Wan Zhenhong casually walked to the sign of "Dorami Kindergarten" at the entrance, standing tall and smiling.

Liang Yinqiu, holding the Class One certificate and medal, and Xin Jinghui stood beside them respectively, naturally and warmly, with the other kindergarten leaders standing neatly behind them, forming a splendid scene, with pride and joy on each face.

"Click, click~"

The leader of the publicity department pressed the shutter, capturing the smiles and the honorary certificate and medal behind them at that moment, documenting a glorious moment in the history of Dorami Kindergarten.

To use later for writing the promotional manuscript!

After the photo was taken, Liang Yinqiu handed the Class One certificate to the director beside her, signaling with her eyes for her to find someone to place the certificate prominently at the entrance, so that anyone entering the kindergarten could immediately feel this honor.

With snacks on his mind, Wan Zhenhong couldn’t help but urge, "Director Liang, now that the photo is taken, shouldn’t we first enter the grounds for a deeper exchange and experience?"

"Yes, yes, let’s go in now." Liang Yinqiu responded enthusiastically, inviting, "Please first rest in my office for a while. We can chat over tea and snacks. Then, I’ll personally take you on a tour of our kindergarten."

Whether to tour or not doesn’t matter, as long as we get to eat Huang Jun’s snacks!

Wan Zhenhong asked expectantly, "Director Liang, is the snack you’re talking about made by Chef Huang?"

Sure enough, Liu Suyu’s guess was correct!

These education bureau leaders came early just to enjoy Huang Jun’s breakfast and feast their cravings!

Liang Yinqiu nodded, "Yes! The snack I mentioned is made by Chef Huang, and I’ve already arranged for it. It’s being prepared, and I believe when we reach the office, the delicious snacks will be served."

Wan Zhenhong urged, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go..."

How surprising!

Usually, Wan Zhenhong is always stern and meticulous in the bureau. Who would have thought that at the mention of snacks, he’d immediately turn into a full-fledged foodie?

If Wei Guodong hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that Wan Zhenhong actually had a foodie side hidden!

He had originally planned to come to the kindergarten as scheduled around noon, but didn’t expect Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui to forcibly bring him over together, soft but firm.

Initially thinking their hasty early arrival was out of enthusiasm and responsibility for work, but now it seems they are more concerned about Chef Huang’s snacks.

Speaking of which?

What charm do these sweet snacks have that they make two grown men so obsessed, determined to eat them?

Wei Guodong, who usually isn’t interested in snacks, really finds it hard to imagine what makes these little snacks so delicious?

However, seeing the anticipation on their faces, he couldn’t help but be swept up by the atmosphere and secretly became curious himself.

Could the snacks in this kindergarten really be so captivating?
