Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Upon these words, a flash of surprise swept across the eyes of Li Huizhen and everyone present, but this momentary astonishment was quickly replaced by the composure they usually maintained.

Just as expected!

The issue of food is the true key to opening the hearts of the parents!

However, solving this problem completely is no easy task right now.

The reason is...

Who could imagine she couldn’t successfully invite Huang Jun to join her team before!

Who could think that at the beginning of the school term, she had the opportunity to directly hire Huang Jun, who came to apply, yet due to various reasons missed the chance, letting Dorami Kindergarten pick up such a great catch!

Alas!

It can only be said that her kindergarten and Huang Jun always seem to lack a bit of destiny.

And Chef Zheng in her kindergarten, though his skills are quite excellent, appears to be a little inferior when compared to Huang Jun.

Therefore, whenever parents discuss the meals at the kindergarten privately, Chef Zheng’s dishes are inadvertently compared with Huang Jun’s craftsmanship, and the result often disappoints.

Parents always complain, saying the meals at the neighboring kindergarten are far more delicious and enticing than those at her kindergarten.

Some even go so far as to call her office, demanding that the meals at her kindergarten match those at Dorami Kindergarten...

For this, they have been quite receptive—humbly accepting the parents’ suggestions and made adjustments to the meals at the kindergarten.

Although the complaints from parents have decreased significantly, it still cannot stop their thoughts of transferring schools...

Alas!

Such helplessness!

But now that things have come to this...

Only by hiring an exceptional new chef next semester, whose culinary skills are on par with Huang Jun and who has a great reputation, can they prevent more parents from transferring their children due to the meal issue to Dorami Kindergarten...

After some thought, Li Huizhen slowly spoke to everyone present: "Dear teachers, please do your best to retain those parents who have expressed their intention to transfer next semester. Tell them that our kindergarten will be hiring an extraordinary new chef to lead the kitchen next semester, hoping they will give us a chance to improve and not make a hasty decision to transfer..."

Listening to her words, the teachers and leaders present couldn’t help but feel bittersweet.

Recalling the beginning of the semester, parents were very eager for their children to enter this kindergarten, squeezing their heads for a spot that was hard to come by.

And due to limited spots, they had to painfully decline many hopeful parents.

Yet, who could have foreseen...

Merely a semester later, circumstances have changed so drastically.

Now, they have to humbly plead with parents not to transfer, and who can truly understand the bitterness and helplessness in this?

The fickleness of the world truly makes one sigh and feel a sense of nostalgia...

Though everyone agreed with Li Huizhen’s idea of hiring a new chef, thinking it’s a worthwhile attempt at a solution, they still felt some unease and doubts in their hearts.

Thus...

Lin Jiayi summoned up courage and raised her concern: "Director Li, even if we sincerely retain them and make promises, but the parents are still determined to transfer, what should we do next?"

Li Huizhen sighed lightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "If it really comes to that, I think, the only thing we can do is respect their decision and try our best to assist them in completing the transfer procedures..."

Just then.

A teacher suddenly stood up, handing her phone to Li Huizhen with urgency: "Director Li, take a look, Dorami Kindergarten has made new moves! They are distributing Laba porridge to parents at the kindergarten entrance this afternoon!"

These words immediately caught everyone’s attention.

"Ah, Director Liang of Dorami Kindergarten really knows how to win people’s hearts."

The park director sighed: "Didn’t she give the parents sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root last time? It seems they’ve really put in a lot of effort to retain students."

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly, with some worry showing between her brows: "Yes, tomorrow there will surely be many parents comparing our kindergarten with theirs, it’s bound to be a hot topic again. Our pressure is not small."

The logistics director furrowed his brows, and after a moment of thought, slowly suggested: "Perhaps we could consider preparing Laba porridge in the kitchen tomorrow and giving it to parents as a token of appreciation for their support, how about it?"

This proposal did not immediately earn unanimous approval from everyone present.

The park director gently shook his head, speaking earnestly: "Although the idea is good, just like the old saying, ’late courtesy is as cheap as grass,’ parents may not appreciate it. This move might make them feel we are following trends insincerely, ultimately backfiring and complicating things."

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly: "Indeed, Laba Festival has already passed, sending Laba porridge now is untimely, it might make parents think we are being perfunctory, stirring up their resentment instead."

After listening, everyone nodded, feeling this reasoning was sensible.

Li Huizhen smoothly took over the baton of discussion and continued: "Forget it, seeing the semester is about to end, it’s not quite appropriate to hold activities at this time. It’s better to focus our efforts on important holidays next semester, plan ahead, make meticulous preparations, to truly show our sincerity and dedication."

"So, let’s turn to a new topic: is it necessary for our kindergarten to open a video account for sharing and posting wonderful moments and daily activities of the kindergarten?"
