In the original book, Qin Shu was Shen Qingqing's right-hand man.
Now he's at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
After staying there for a few days, he found that he quite liked the place.
He hadn't crossed paths with Shen Qingqing in this life, but that didn't mean Shen Qingqing would let him off the hook.
After all, Shen Qingqing was keeping a close eye on Shen Wei.
Whenever Shen Wei made any move, she would immediately follow up.
Even though she had been burned several times already, she still hadn't given up.
At this moment, she took the initiative to contact Qin Shu, saying, "Let's go out and have a meal together."
Qin Shu found it amusing.
Previously, he had been invisible in the world of the wealthy.
No one ever noticed him.
Since he started working at Starry Sky Kindergarten, several people had begun to inquire about him.
Now even Shen Qingqing was seeking him out.
He had suddenly gone from being universally disliked to being in high demand.
He didn't mind stirring up some excitement, curious about what she wanted to tell him.
It was the first time he saw Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing wore a white shirt and was meticulously groomed, exuding an aura of an innocent, delicate flower.
She appeared even more pitiful and vulnerable. Although she already had Lu Zheng,
She knew well that men fell for this act.
This time, she had dressed up carefully.
Qin Shu spoke first: "Why did you come to find me?"
As soon as Shen Qingqing saw him arrive, she gained confidence. She said, "I've heard about you before. Actually, we're the same kind of people!"
She immediately started trying to build a connection.
In the past, he would have certainly been moved by this.
But after coming to the kindergarten, his negative feelings had gradually been healed. Seeing the sweet smiles of the children,
Life had gained a sense of purpose.
Hearing those depressing words from before now only made him laugh.
Shen Qingqing didn't understand Qin Shu at all. She said, "I think we must have a lot in common. Can you come and help me?"
This tactic was also learned from Shen Wei.
Shen Wei had managed to bring Lin Rui to her side.
It was a clear slap in the face to her and Lu Zheng, so she wanted to imitate it.
If she could sway someone close to Shen Wei, that would be ideal.
Unfortunately, she had tried many times before. Those old employees who followed Shen Wei seemed to have a filter for her, and couldn't be swayed at all.
But Qin Shu was different. He was new there and didn't have such a strong sense of belonging to the kindergarten. There might be a chance.
Although Shen Qingqing didn't know what Shen Wei saw in Qin Shu, she wanted everything Shen Wei had.
Qin Shu said, "So what do you want to do?"
Shen Qingqing said, "Work for me. You don't need to quit your job, just tell me everything that's going on over there!"
Qin Shu looked at Shen Qingqing, his gaze filled with obvious mockery: "You want me to be a mole?"
Shen Qingqing laughed awkwardly, "Don't put it so harshly."
But she didn't deny his words.
Qin Shu said, "I appreciate your consideration, but I'm a terrible actor. Let's forget about it, shall we?"
With that, he stood up and left, without even paying for the two cups of coffee.
Shen Qingqing was furious. She didn't care about the cost of the two cups of coffee.
She could afford much more expensive coffee.
It was the feeling of being ignored that angered her.
Shen Qingqing became increasingly panicked.
Even a newcomer was so loyal to Shen Wei. Why?
She hadn't seen how Shen Wei was better than her before.
Qin Shu returned to his apartment, where a fluffy little Bichon Frise came to greet him. He crouched down, his beautiful hands stroking the dog's head.
The little Bichon licked his hand.
His irritated mood calmed once again.
On a whim, Qin Shu brought the little dog to the kindergarten.
His dog was very well-behaved and never jumped on children.
He played with the dog outside.
A class from the kindergarten happened to be playing on the outdoor big slide and merry-go-round.
When they saw the dog, they all flocked over.
The children adorably asked, "Can I pet him?"
Qin Shu said, "No, you can't."
The children weren't upset by the refusal. They gathered around, repeatedly saying how cute the dog was.
Qin Shu lowered his head, realizing that children who grow up surrounded by love don't become gloomy or insecure even when refused.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The little dog had never been liked by so many people before. Its tail was wagging like a windmill.
The people watching the livestream were amused: "This little dog is so soft and white, like cotton candy!"
"The children are so well-behaved too. They don't touch when told not to, and they're all standing in a circle observing the dog."
"I actually think having a pet at home can help children understand what love is, what it means to take responsibility, and what commitment is. I don't have children now, but if I did, I'd get a little dog to grow up alongside the child."
Seeing how happy his dog was, Qin Shu felt healed as well.
He used to be depressed, which affected his dog too.
Now things were better.
The bell rang for the children to return to class.
The children reluctantly said goodbye to the dog, saying they had to go back.
The dog's tail drooped.
After everyone left, the dog suddenly became dejected.
Qin Shu patted his dog and said, "I'll walk around with you for a bit."
There's no dog that doesn't like walks. Soon, the dog was happy again.
"You like it here too!" Qin Shu asked.
The dog whimpered a couple of times.
Soon, they saw Shen Wei rushing in, full of energy.
Doctor Lu followed behind her, his face beaming with excitement.
"What's going on?" Qin Shu asked.
Doctor Lu said, "Something's happened at Noble Kindergarten."
Noble Kindergarten had been suppressing them before.
They thought they'd need to open a second branch to compete, but who knew Noble Kindergarten would shoot itself in the foot.
It started like this:
A teacher looked down on students from the general class and said some unpleasant things during a lesson.
As it happened, this child had brought a voice recorder, and when the parents heard it later, they were furious and demanded an explanation from the teacher.
Who would have thought the teacher would become even more arrogant, saying poor people just cause trouble.
This statement immediately sparked outrage.
This time, the general class had enrolled 2,000 students.
The parents who sent their children here wanted to experience premium service at a lower cost.
Who would have thought the teachers would be so careless with the children.
They even resorted to hitting and scolding frequently.
Several children already didn't want to come to school anymore.
Even if a child comes from an ordinary background, they are still their parents' treasures.
Now the parents were angry.
What angered them even more was a video circulating online, showing that not only did the teacher not reflect on her actions, but she also complained to the principal, saying, "We shouldn't have opened the general class. These people just have poor quality!"
This news was clearly leaked from inside.
Their internal factional struggles were also very severe.
However, this internal strife was like adding frost to snow for the Noble Kindergarten, making an already difficult situation even worse.
