Chapter 828: Chapter 827: Zhe Xiyu Chapter 828: Chapter 827: Zhe Xiyu Zhe Xiyu, upon seeing Tongtong, immediately flashed a dazzling smile and squirmed, “Mommy, please put me down quick, I want to play with Tongtong.”
Tong QianQian laughed as she set Zhe Xiyu on the ground.
Zhe Xiyu immediately dashed over to Tongtong.
The two kids, who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, held hands and chattered nonstop.
Tongtong was carefree, and by this time, had already forgotten the slight unpleasantness that had occurred at kindergarten that morning.
She enthusiastically shared with Zhe Xiyu about her recently purchased new toy.
Xu Fan introduced everyone with a smile and then went to the kitchen to cook himself.
Xu Yixue was very good at socializing, chatting happily with Zhe Xiyu and Tong QianQian.
...
After about fifteen minutes, dinner was served.
Tongtong, seated at the table, boasted about how delicious her daddy’s cooking was, her face brimming with pride and delight.
She was even more pleased than when showing off her new toy.
The food looked appetizing, and indeed, it tasted just as good.
Zhe Xiyu and Tong QianQian were both pleasantly surprised.
Xu Yixue, with warm hospitality, used the serving chopsticks to place a shrimp in Zhe Xiyu’s bowl and asked with a kind smile, “Xi Yu, I’ve heard you’ve already started kindergarten?”
Zhe Xiyu received the shrimp politely with her bowl, smiled sweetly, and said, “Thank you, Auntie.
I started kindergarten last year, and this year I’m already in the middle class,” she said, a hint of pride in her voice.
“Hmm…”
Upon hearing the word “kindergarten,” Tongtong immediately turned her head to look at Zhe Xiyu.
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Xu Yixue continued to praise with a beaming smile, “Wow, Xi Yu, you’re so great.
Tongtong has never attended kindergarten, could you share a bit about it with her?”
Zhe Xiyu’s interest was immediately piqued, and she began to gesticulate animatedly, sharing nonstop.
“Tongtong, let me tell you, kindergarten is super, super fun!
I have lots of good friends, and we play together every day.”
“The best thing is playing hide-and-seek with them.
I’m super good at it, I’m always the last one to be found.”
“I’m also great at drawing; my teacher praised me just yesterday, and I even received an award!”
“…”
Zhe Xiyu’s expression was lively as she recounted all the interesting things happening at school.
Tongtong’s eyes didn’t even blink, watching him with curiosity and envy.
Kindergarten seemed very intriguing.
The adults exchanged glances, their eyes twinkling with amusement.
Indeed, children persuading other children was a special knack.
Earlier, no matter how Xu Yixue tried, Tongtong wouldn’t listen to her.
Zhe Xiyu, noticing Tongtong hadn’t spoken, asked curiously, “Tongtong, did something fun happen at kindergarten?
Can you share it with me?”
Tongtong’s little head drooped, and she said softly, “Kindergarten isn’t fun without daddy…”
Zhe Xiyu promptly patted her shoulder, adopting a somewhat manly demeanor.
“Tongtong, we’re both big kids now, you know.
We have to learn to grow up on our own and can’t always rely on mommy and daddy.
Teachers won’t like kids who do that.”
Tongtong looked up at Zhe Xiyu with a hint of grievance and pouted, “But, but Tongtong wants to play with daddy.”
Clearly, the little one was already tempted.
It was just a matter of the last push.
Xu Fan watched Zhe FeiYu with an amused smile.
Zhe FeiYu looked at Xu Fan with confusion.
Xu Fan smiled and said, “Mr.
Zhe, is Xi Yu currently attending the kindergarten next to the Xiangyun Ya Yuan Residential Complex?”
Zhe FeiYu nodded, continuing the conversation, “Yes, it’s right next to the complex, about a ten-minute walk.”
Xu Fan continued with a smile, “Have you heard of Beile Kindergarten, Mr.
Zhe?
It’s one of the top elite kindergartens in Zhonghai City with excellent facilities and teaching staff.”
Zhe FeiYu nodded, looking at Xu Fan with puzzlement.
What exactly was he trying to say?
Xu Fan added, “Would Mr.
Zhe consider transferring Xi Yu to Beile Kindergarten?
It would allow Xi Yu to receive a better education and the two little friends could keep each other company.”
“Beile Kindergarten?”
Zhe FeiYu looked at Xu Fan with surprise, then turned to glance at Tong QianQian.
Both showed astonishment in their eyes.
Last year, he and his wife had visited Beile Kindergarten and thoroughly inspected it, finding themselves very satisfied.
But the one thing they were not satisfied with was the expensive tuition, costing more than a million a year, which had effectively ruled them out.
Moreover, it wasn’t just about having the money.
With only a hundred spots available each year, many parents would reserve a place as soon as they were pregnant, and there was still no guarantee of getting in.
So after consideration, they ultimately gave it up.
Yet, they did feel some regret in their hearts because Beile Kindergarten truly gave children a head start in life.
Graduates were allowed direct entry to two of Zhonghai City’s top primary schools.
But no matter how enticing, how wonderful it was,
it was out of their reach.
Zhe FeiYu gave Xu Fan a wry smile.
His family’s financial situation was okay, not top-notch but certainly above average, you could say they were well-off.
But to afford an annual fee of over a million, honestly, it was too much to bear.
With a pained expression, he shook his head and apologized, “Mr.
Xu, this…”
Xu Fan, a keen observer, knew right away what the problem was by the look on Zhe FeiYu’s face.
So he interrupted him with a smile, “Mr.
Zhe, you don’t need to be polite, if you are willing, Beile Kindergarten can offer a discount, eighty percent off all fees!”
“Ah!?”
Zhe FeiYu was startled by the offer.
Eighty percent off all fees!
That added up to just two or three hundred thousand a year at most, an amount his family could definitely afford.
But still…
Zhe FeiYu looked at Xu Fan, swallowed, and asked, “Mr.
Xu, may I boldly ask, what is your relationship with Beile Kindergarten?
It’s okay if it’s not convenient to say.”
Xu Fan first looked at Tongtong to make sure she was talking to Xi Yu and not paying attention to their conversation.
Then he leaned in and whispered beside Zhe FeiYu, “I just acquired it a few days ago.”
Zhe FeiYu’s eyes widened upon hearing this.
This, this was simply too extravagant!
He prided himself on having seen many wealthy people, but this was the first time he had seen someone buy a kindergarten just so their daughter could attend.
And not just any kindergarten, but the top elite kindergarten in Zhonghai City.
Such connections, such wealth, were truly unmatched.
And to think, such indulgence for his daughter.
Zhe FeiYu was already tempted, thinking that for the sake of his son’s better education, it wouldn’t hurt to take advantage of this offer.
But still, he made a show of politeness, “This…
I’m really very sorry.”
Xu Fan waved it off with a smile, saying indifferently, “Mr.
What do you think?
