Chapter 627 - 517: Reception Is Not Easy, Cherish It Along the Way
The sun gently caressed the threshold of Dorami Kindergarten with its unique tenderness, its golden rays cascading downwards, adorning the entrance of the courtyard with a radiant glow akin to a layer of dazzling golden veil.
In this warm morning light, Liang Yinqiu, dressed in a navy blue cashmere coat, stood silently at the school gate with her distinctive demeanor and elegant posture, naturally attracting the attention of those around her, becoming the center of focus.
Standing alongside her were several kindergarten leaders, each dressed in equally appropriate and graceful attire, with smiles on their faces and upright postures, resembling a well-trained etiquette team, eagerly and professionally awaiting the arrival of distinguished guests.
Although the morning light hinted at a trace of warmth, trying to dispel the winter chill, the occasional cold wind sweeping past the school gate carried an undeniable chill, roaring across their cheeks, causing them to shiver slightly and even prompting a faint urge to stomp their feet for warmth.
But for the sake of maintaining the kindergarten’s image and leaving a good first impression on the city leaders, they chose to silently endure the cold.
Oh well!
Reception isn’t easy, one must cherish every step taken!
Liang Yinqiu would occasionally look towards the road, anticipating Mayor Yang and his party’s prompt arrival.
She tightly held a meticulously prepared welcome speech in her hand, although she had recited it countless times in her mind, she still occasionally looked down at it to ensure every detail was perfect.
After all, it’s her first time hosting city leaders, and inevitably, there’s some nervousness and anxiety in her heart.
"Director Liang, Mayor Yang’s vehicle should be arriving soon, right?"
The kindergarten director, Fei Juanfen, showed the same anticipation and nervousness, and asked softly.
"Almost there, should be within a minute or two!"
Liang Yinqiu nodded with a smile, despite her cheeks being slightly flushed by the cold wind, she maintained her composure and elegance, displaying the demeanor a kindergarten leader should possess.
Just then...
A black sedan quietly entered the sight range of Dorami Kindergarten, its wheels rolling slowly on the flat road, producing a low and steady friction sound that broke their conversation.
Upon hearing the sound, Liang Yinqiu immediately focused her gaze, her eyes lingering on the license plate for a moment...
She saw the prominent "City Government" label shimmering in the sunlight, clearly indicating the identity of the visitors.
Soon after, two more vehicles followed closely behind, orderly entering the kindergarten area...
"They’re here, they’re here, everyone please pay attention, maintain your best form, and welcome Mayor Yang’s team with the utmost enthusiasm!" Liang Yinqiu reminded everyone with an expression of excitement mixed with slight nervousness.
The kindergarten leaders quickly checked and tidied their attire upon hearing this, their faces lighting up with even brighter, genuine smiles, ready to welcome the impending significant moment.
Before long...
With a soft "screech—" sound, the black sedan came to a steady stop at the kindergarten entrance.
Immediately, with a "bang" sound, the driver swiftly opened the door and quickly got out, lightly pacing around to the back seat and respectfully opening the door.
The next second...
A middle-aged gentleman in a dark coat, with a graceful demeanor, elegantly stepped out of the vehicle; his face wore a warm and approachable smile.
This charming gentleman was none other than the eagerly awaited Mayor Yang.
Subsequently, several accompanying staff members, along with the education bureau leaders and two reporters, also got out of the vehicle in an orderly manner.
"Mayor Yang, welcome welcome! Your presence truly honors us!"
Although Liang Yinqiu hadn’t interacted face-to-face with Mayor Yang before, she recognized him instantly through familiar impressions from TV and enthusiastically approached, offering her right hand for a handshake while nodding at Wei Guodong and the other education bureau acquaintances.
"Director Liang, hello!"
Mayor Yang smiled and shook Liang Yinqiu’s hand: "I’ve long heard about Dorami Kindergarten’s outstanding achievements in the field of education. Today, I finally have the chance to visit and experience the atmosphere and outcomes here."
"Thank you, Mayor Yang, for taking the time despite your busy schedule to visit us; our entire kindergarten staff and students feel exceptionally honored."
Liang Yinqiu responded, then gracefully turned to introduce the surrounding leaders to Mayor Yang: "Mayor, this is our kindergarten director, Director Fei, responsible for the comprehensive management and control of educational quality in the courtyard; and this is Manager Liu from the procurement department, who is responsible for managing the daily materials purchase and ensuring the optimal standards for the children’s living and learning environment..."
"Hello everyone, it’s a pleasure to meet you all."
Mayor Yang warmly shook hands with each kindergarten leader present.
This gesture filled the kindergarten leaders with a sense of pride and excitement.
"Mayor Yang, we’ve prepared an introduction to the park’s facilities and today’s itinerary for you." Liang Yinqiu handed over an elegantly crafted folder.
"That’s very considerate."
Mayor Yang, intrigued, took the folder and quickly browsed through its contents, his face brimming with anticipation: "Oh, so this kindergarten’s New Year’s event is a garden tour! Looks like a rich and colorful agenda. I’m really looking forward to participating and enjoying the joyous atmosphere!"
Liang Yinqiu confidently replied: "Yes, Mayor Yang. We’ve carefully organized a series of fun and creative parent-child games, aiming to provide a platform where parents and children can immerse themselves in the festive joy. We believe that after your personal experience, our activities will leave a lasting impression on you."
