Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 254 - 239: Guess Who I Saw at Our Kindergarten Gate?

Chapter 254: Chapter 239: Guess Who I Saw at Our Kindergarten Gate?

The teachers’ group at Dorami Kindergarten erupted in excitement due to this matter!

Miss Yang from Class (4): "Director Liang, you have to check the messages in the main group. The parents are acting way too strange today. Can you imagine? They all asked me to relay their opinions to you, hoping that Chef Huang could make the meals taste worse over the next few days. This is driving me crazy... Director Liang, please take a look at it, how should we handle this situation?"

Teacher Jiang from Class (3): "Director Liang, it’s bad, it’s bad, something big has happened! The parents from my class are also reflecting this issue at the kindergarten gate! This is unprecedented! Don’t parents usually worry about their kids not eating well? What’s going on today? Why are they begging us to make the food taste bad? Director Liang, what do you think we should do about this?"

Teacher Cai from Class (2): "Whoa, I thought it was only the parents from my class requesting this! I didn’t expect everyone else was facing the same situation..."

"..."

Messages in the group continued to scroll, with teachers from each class responding to this situation.

At that moment, Liang Yinqiu had just settled into the driver’s seat, ready to start her commute to Dorami Kindergarten and begin her workday.

Just then.

A series of notification sounds suddenly interrupted her actions.

"Why is the phone ringing non-stop so early in the morning?"

She puzzledly picked up the handbag from the passenger seat and took out her phone.

Upon checking...

It was messages from the exclusive teachers’ group at Dorami Kindergarten.

She swiped the phone screen, carefully reading through the contents of the group messages.

As each message scrolled by, her eyes gradually widened, revealing an incredulous expression as she muttered to herself, "No way? Parents want the kindergarten to make the food taste worse? What are they thinking? They came up with this crazy idea?"

Liang Yinqiu severely doubted if these parents accidentally got their heads stuck in a door on their way out or woke up too hurriedly, forgetting to bring their intelligence along, only to say something so illogical...

Are they joking?

But after seeing the parents’ concerns between the lines, she instantly understood and silently sympathized with the parents for a second in her heart. It also made her realize, once more, that "sometimes cooking too well is also a burden."

Speaking of which.

What should we do now?

Liang Yinqiu furrowed her brows in thought, then started typing a response in the group chat: "@everyone, dear teachers, regarding this matter, I will discuss it in detail with Chef Huang upon returning to the kindergarten before making a decision. Please let the parents know that the kindergarten has received their feedback, and we will seriously consider and appropriately handle it."

Seeing the director speak, all the teachers stopped their discussions, and then transferred Liang Yinqiu’s words to those parents.

Since the kindergarten has expressed it will consider the situation appropriately, what else could the parents say?

They could only smile and comply, abandoning the thought of continuing to plea.

After waving goodbye to the teachers, they began their "heading home to find mom" routine.

They left!

...

Huang Jun drove the Wuling Hongguang, carrying Qingqing and Weiwei, and arrived, fashionably late, having just parked the car steadily at a parking spot near the kindergarten gate.

Just as he was about to lead the two little kids into the kindergarten gate...

A somewhat familiar voice suddenly called out, "Chef Huang, good morning..."

Hey?

Who’s calling him?

Perplexed, Huang Jun followed the direction of the voice...

He wasn’t too anxious until he clearly saw who it was, whereupon his face couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise, and he froze for a moment.

Hey?

Isn’t that Director Wan?

What’s he doing here?

Could it be he’s here at Dorami Kindergarten for an inspection today?

But the problem is... up till now, he hasn’t received any notification related to this from the kindergarten...

With a mind filled with confusion, he politely responded: "Director Wan, good morning! What a coincidence meeting you here, what brings you here?"

Qingqing and Weiwei quickly recognized Wan Zhenhong as well, sweetly calling out to him, "Uncle Director... Uncle Director, hello..."

"Hey... good kids..."

Upon hearing the word "Uncle," Wan Zhenhong’s smile almost froze mid-air, but upon hearing the children change their tune, he resumed smiling, explaining: "Oh, I’m here to send my daughter to school here."

"Huh? To school here?"

Huang Jun’s gaze naturally fell on Niuniu, whom Wan Zhenhong was holding by the hand.

The little girl was blinking her bright eyes, curiously observing the new surroundings.

Upon noticing Huang Jun looking at her, she shyly hid behind her dad, only revealing half her face and peeping at this unfamiliar uncle.

Watching his daughter’s adorable "little tyrant at home, little sheep outside" demeanor, Wan Zhenhong couldn’t help but laugh, explaining: "Niuniu, this is Uncle Chef Huang. The green bean cake and sweet and sour ribs you praised were made by Uncle Chef Huang..."

Niuniu’s eyes instantly lit up, exclaiming in delight: "Wow, such tasty green bean cake and sweet and sour ribs were made by you, Uncle Huang? I really love the green bean cake and sweet and sour ribs you make!"

Weiwei proudly chimed in: "My dad doesn’t only make great green bean cake and sweet and sour ribs; he makes everything delicious!"

"Uh-huh, my dad makes other stuff really delicious too!" Qingqing vigorously nodded her little head.

Although the kids’ praises weren’t directed at them, Weiwei and Qingqing still felt incredibly happy.

Because to them, their dad is their pride.

Huang Jun smiled at Niuniu: gently said, "Niuniu, thank you so much for liking the food Uncle makes! Uncle will cook more delicious meals for you in the future."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Niuniu smiled sweetly.

"You’re welcome!"

Huang Jun smiled slightly, then remembered, looked at Wan Zhenhong, and asked, "Oh, right, Director Wan, did you mean just now that Niuniu has transferred to our Dorami Kindergarten?"

"Yes, indeed, my Niuniu has officially become a member of Dorami Kindergarten, in the same class as your two darling daughters," Wan Zhenhong nodded and said, "We originally planned to transfer her before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was delayed due to some issues, so we only brought her over today."

"Is that so? That’s great, my Weiwei and Qingqing will have another playmate," Huang Jun said with a smile, "So, did you come today to handle the enrollment procedures for her?"

"Director Liang already took care of the enrollment procedures the day before yesterday, I am just directly bringing her to school today," Wan Zhenhong replied plainly.

"Director Wan, may I ask, what suddenly made you think about transferring Niuniu to our place?" Huang Jun expressed his curiosity directly to Wan Zhenhong.

Liu Shiwei chuckled: "Isn’t it all because of you, Chef Huang!"

"Me?"

Huang Jun was a bit surprised but somewhat understood.

Probably because of the meals he prepares!

As expected.

Liu Shiwei nodded: "Yes, indeed! It’s because of you actually, the first time I came to your kindergarten, after tasting the meals you prepared, I started thinking about transferring my Niuniu."

"Mainly because the food at her previous government kindergarten was really not good, unfortunately, my wife was firm in her refusal."

"Later, I brought home the mung bean cake and sugared ribs you made, and both my wife and Niuniu couldn’t stop praising them, especially Niuniu, she kept saying how delicious they were and wanted to come here to study. Seeing her so eager, my wife agreed..."

At this moment.

Some parents passing by noticed Huang Jun talking with someone, and nodded at him, considering it a greeting.

Among them, some astute parents recognized Wan Zhenhong, a deputy director at the education bureau frequently seen on TV and in newspapers.

They just never imagined...

An ordinary kindergarten chef actually has a close relationship with Director Wan of the education bureau.

Speaking of which.

Does Chef Huang have some special background or ability to connect with such high-level officials?

More surprisingly...

The dignified deputy director of the education bureau chose not to send his daughter to the highly prestigious government kindergarten but to transfer her here.

Even more unexpectedly...

The reason for the transfer was actually because of Huang Jun’s cooking!

Carefully pondering!

Huang Jun’s culinary skills have already gained widespread acclaim among parents and children; his meals are not only delicious and appealing but also appropriately nutritious, allowing every child to eat healthily and happily.

Just for this, Director Wan’s decision makes perfect sense!

Now, parents have shifted from initially questioning Wan Zhenhong’s decision to understanding and approval.

Xu Sijun did too!

"Indeed, Chef Huang’s culinary charm is so compelling, even Director Wan from the education bureau is captivated by it, willing to transfer his daughter here just to let her enjoy delicious and nutritious meals every day."

After a brief surprise, Xu Sijun quickly took out her phone, moved aside, and dialed her cousin Qiu Jingwen, eager to share this explosive news with her.

Soon, the call connected.

Xu Sijun greeted into the microphone: "Cousin, have you sent Guoguo to kindergarten?"

"Just did!" Qiu Jingwen’s voice came from the other end: "Sijun, why did you suddenly call me? Don’t tell me it’s because your Qianqian started school, you’re bored and want to go shopping with me?"

"I’m not calling to ask you to go shopping," Xu Sijun chuckled, speaking mysteriously, "Guess what? I saw someone at our kindergarten entrance."

"Who? Is it your ex-boyfriend?" Qiu Jingwen’s gossip curiosity piqued.

Xu Sijun: "..."

Can we not sidetrack the conversation?

"No, it’s Deputy Director of the Education Bureau — Wan Zhenhong."

Ah?

Just this?

Qiu Jingwen felt a bit like "I got excited for nothing," as she nonchalantly replied, "What’s strange about Education Bureau Director Wan appearing at your kindergarten entrance! Surely there must be some official duty, inspecting your kindergarten..."

"It’s not an inspection," Xu Sijun shook her head, revealing the answer with a hint of pride, "He was sending his daughter to study here, and from his tone, it seems like he specially transferred her from the government kindergarten..."

Before she finished.

Qiu Jingwen’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of "Is this free to hear?" shock.

The Deputy Director of the Education Bureau opted not to attend such a prestigious government kindergarten but instead transferred his daughter to Dorami Kindergarten midway.

What does this imply?

This clearly indicates Dorami Kindergarten, in terms of various conditions, is not inferior or even superior to the government kindergarten!

Now.

The originally slightly tilted balance in Qiu Jingwen’s heart was completely tipped...
