Chapter 446: Chapter 407: Will Director Wei and the Others Make Trouble for Their Kindergarten?

Wei Guodong’s gaze shifted between Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui, and seeing their food-loving expressions conquered by the delicacies, a look of helpless amusement appeared on his face.

You have to admit.

Their usually serious and meticulous personas were utterly melted by these small coconut pastries at this moment...

Wei Guodong shook his head slightly, a teasing smile hanging on his lips, "Vice Director Wan, Director Xin, this is the first time I’ve seen you both so happy eating desserts."

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui exchanged a knowing smile.

Wan Zhenhong responded, "Director Wei, you’ll understand once you try. Eating the treats made by Chef Huang is an indescribable joy!"

Xin Jinghui couldn’t help but add, "It’s not just the pastries! Anything Chef Huang makes, whether it’s desserts, meals, or even sweet soups, brings a joy and enjoyment that comes from the bottom of the heart."

Wei Guodong didn’t quite believe these words.

After all, in his rich life experience, though he’s enjoyed plenty of delicious food, nothing has truly touched his heart with joy...

But seeing the assured expressions of his two capable assistants, a slight curiosity stirred within him.

However, words are not enough; one must try it!

Just as Wei Guodong was about to personally experience the unique charm of the coconut pastry...

Liang Yinqiu’s voice rang in his ear again, "Yes, Director Wei, have a taste. I assure you it won’t disappoint. I’m not boasting, but everyone praises our Chef Huang’s skills after they’ve tried his food!"

Wan Zhenhong chimed in, "Exactly, just look at Director Xin and me; we’re the ones Director Liang mentioned who can’t stop praising it!"

Alright then!

Since you’re all recommending it so highly, I’ll reluctantly try this dessert.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try. If I don’t feel the happiness you mentioned, you guys..." Wei Guodong deliberately paused, a mischievous smile on his face as he continued, "will have to treat me again until I feel that happiness."

"Director Wei, you wish! Wanting another round." Wan Zhenhong had a look that said, "I’m telling you, you won’t get the chance..."

"Exactly, you won’t have that chance," Xin Jinghui agreed with a nod.

"Don’t say never too soon!"

Wei Guodong’s lips curled slightly as he finally extended his hand, picking up a golden coconut pastry from the plate with nimble fingers.

As his fingertips lightly touched it, the crispy outer layer shattered instantly, making a subtle and enticing sound, and then the coconut filling appeared like an unfolding painting.

"I have to admit, this coconut pastry lives up to its name – it’s so crumbly... Chef Huang indeed has some skills..."

He showed a look of surprise and quickly used his hand to gently catch the pastry flakes before they scattered on the ground.

"Indeed, despite Chef Huang’s young age, his culinary skills are on par with, if not surpassing, those top chefs in big hotels!"

Wan Zhenhong looked full of admiration for Chef Huang’s skills, taking another big bite of the coconut pastry, showing a contented expression, "This coconut pastry is crumbly yet stays together, crispy to the taste, even better than shortbread! Ah... every bite is full of happiness..."

Xin Jinghui also joined the discussion with a face full of indulgence, "Yes, it’s truly deserving of ’You speak, I crumble’, the coconut filling beneath the crust is immensely satisfying with each bite."

That damn indulged look, it doesn’t appear to be acted...

Watching them so enraptured, Wei Guodong carefully brought the coconut pastry to his lips and took a gentle bite.

Hmm?

His eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

How could it taste... actually good!

The perfect balance of the pastry’s texture was immediately evident as he bit into it, providing that ultimate crispness.

The outer crust, as lightly touched by his tongue, shattered with a sound akin to the gentle rustling of petals falling in spring.

Yet this crispness was just right, neither too brittle nor too rough, almost dancing lightly in the mouth.

With the crust breaking, the coconut filling leisurely flowed out, its sweet aroma quickly filling the entire mouth.

The coconut filling was delicate and soft, contrasting sharply with the crispness of the outer crust, offering rich layers of flavor, making each chew a joyful feast.

The sweetness of the coconut and the wheat fragrance of the crust intertwined in the mouth, not overly sweet, not overly strong.

Such harmony!

Each bite allowed one to deeply savor the intense coconut flavor and its tropical allure, as if transported to a sunny, lush island.

The charm of the coconut pastry lay not only in its taste but in the emotions and memories it carried.

It’s the perfect embodiment of tropical vibes, a tender call to island scenery, letting him feel that distant yet warm emotion as he tasted it...

Wei Guodong, who has tried many delicacies with people, found this coconut pastry surprisingly delightful.

Even better than pastries from renowned dessert shops!

Huang Jun’s skills were indeed exceptional, harmonizing every seasoning and ingredient to create this unforgettable flavor.

Truly impressive!

Wei Guodong took another bite of the coconut pastry.

Truly wonderful!

Each bite made him feel a joyful lift in his spirits.

Indeed!

He truly felt the happiness; it was pure and straightforward.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect for Chef Huang’s skills.

Wei Guodong reached out once more for another coconut pastry, this time savoring its taste slowly, allowing the sweet coconut and crisp crust to perfectly blend in his mouth.

Next to him, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui exchanged a knowing smile.

They then looked at Wei Guodong with expressions saying, "I told you so," and chimed in, "Delicious, right, Director Wei!"

"Yes, delicious!"

Wei Guodong answered without hesitation, chewing the dessert with a satisfied smile

while speaking.

He reached for the plate again, intending to grab another coconut pastry.

Picked up two at once.

This made Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui next to him anxious.

Wan Zhenhong half-jokingly called out, "Hey, hey, hey, Director Wei! It’s a rare chance for us to eat, and you’ve almost finished half a plate of coconut crisps by yourself!"

Xin Jinghui joined the teasing, "Yeah, aren’t you usually uninterested in desserts?"

Wei Guodong said calmly, "That was my old view. Now I’ve been completely won over by Chef Huang’s skills. Besides, weren’t you the ones who urged me to try these desserts? So what, now that I eat a few more, does it hurt you?"

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

So it’s my fault now?

Xin Jinghui: "..."

If I had known, I wouldn’t have recommended these so enthusiastically to Director Wei. Now there’s a strong competitor.

The crucial point is that this competitor’s status is not ordinary, above them actually...

It’s like "picking up a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot"...

Seeing their aggrieved expressions, Wei Guodong quickly reassured, "Aren’t they just a few coconut crisps? I’ll get you back, buy you from No.1 Dessert Shop."

No.1 Dessert Shop is quite famous in the city, and its coconut crisps are also renowned, naturally with a hefty price tag.

A box of only 8 coconut crisps is priced at 188 yuan.

Wei Guodong continued, "I’ll buy each of you a box from No.1 Dessert Shop, will you leave the rest for me?"

"I’ll get you two boxes. Can other shops’ coconut crisps compare to Chef Huang’s?"

Wan Zhenhong waved dismissively, "The pastries made by Huang Jun can’t be bought with money, nor can you eat them whenever you want!"

Xin Jinghui was also unmoved, "Yes, after this, who knows how long it will be until we can taste Chef Huang’s pastries again!"

While listening to Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui’s refusal, Wei Guodong reached for another coconut crisp, not taking their protest to heart, continuing to enjoy the delicious treats.

Oh, Director Wei, you’re not playing fair!

Seeing this, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui became even more anxious and stopped arguing with Wei Guodong.

If they kept arguing, the delicious coconut crisps would be enjoyed solely by him.

Combined, they were nearly 150 years old, but at this moment, for the two plates of coconut crisps, their hands moved so quickly it was dizzying, as if reclaiming the energy and enthusiasm of youth.

Liang Yinqiu and Liu Suyu were stunned for a moment watching this scene.

They had never imagined that these usually serious and earnest leaders could have such a genuine, childlike side.

Furthermore, there’s some pastry crust and coconut filling stuck at the corner of Wei Guodong’s mouth, contrasting sharply with his nearly fifty-year-old, typically serious face.

Hmm.

It looks... quite out of character!

Hmm. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

It seems men who don’t like sweets just need Huang Jun’s skills to conquer their taste buds.

But then, a twinge of worry crossed their minds.

Speaking of which.

Witnessing the other side of the leaders from the education bureau, would Director Wei make things difficult for their kindergarten?

Soon.

The two plates of coconut crisps were quickly devoured amid their laughter.

Wei Guodong was in high spirits, as if he had returned to the days of training in his youth, rushing into the canteen, competing with comrades to see who could eat the most...

Delicious!

We must come to Dorami Kindergarten often!

However, Wei Guodong was still unsatisfied, showing a bit of discontent as he said, "You two ate too much!"

Wan Zhenhong responded speechlessly, "Director Wei, do you really have the nerve to say that? You said yourself before we came that you don’t like desserts, but now you’re the most aggressive!"

Wei Guodong feigned confusion, selectively forgetting, "Did I say that? I don’t remember. Besides, words alone don’t count, do you have a recording?"

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

Xin Jinghui: "..."

Tsk tsk tsk~

The skin of someone leading the education bureau really is thick...

...

At the entrance of Dorami Kindergarten.

Lin Weijian was standing on a small ladder, holding a Class A kindergarten honorary certificate, preparing to hang it on the sidewall of the gate.

He carefully compared the position and turned to ask Director Fei Juanfen below, "Director Fei, does this look okay?"

Fei Juanfen looked up, observed for a while, then instructed, "Master Lin, please move it a bit to the right."

"Okay!"

Lin Weijian nodded, carefully adjusting the certificate to harmonize with the surrounding decor.

Fei Juanfen reviewed it again, nodding in satisfaction, "Yes, that’s good!"

"So I’ll fix it up this way?" Lin Weijian made a final confirmation.

"Yes, just like that," Fei Juanfen affirmed.

Lin Weijian took a hammer and nails, securing the certificate to the wall.

With the final nail hammered in...

The Class A kindergarten certificate hung steadily on the wall, its golden letters shining in the sunlight.

Meanwhile, a cold system prompt suddenly sounded in Huang Jun’s mind.
