Zhang Daming's family circumstances were well-known to everyone.
Shen Wei said, "As for your admission spots, you can handle them however you want. After all, each person only has two."
At that moment, even Zhang Daming couldn't help but have his eyes turn red.
Soon, the meeting dispersed.
Liu Master Chef pulled Zhang Daming aside and said, "Do you really want to sell them?"
Zhang Daming's eyes were red as he said, "What choice do I have?"
He wasn't like Liu Master Chef, whose spots were reserved for his own grandchild.
His son hadn't even graduated from university yet, and his other relatives couldn't use such precious spots. He was in desperate need of money.
Liu Master Chef said, "If you really want to sell, I can connect you with buyers!"
Yesterday, his phone was ringing off the hook. In the past, he used to be a chef at a major hotel, so he had the personal numbers of many influential people who had hired him for private events.
Those influential people learned that he was here and had their people call him, hinting that money was no object.
Liu Master Chef said, "Do you want to sell? If you do, sell both spots together. I can get you 80,000 yuan for them. I won't take a single cent for myself."
He could give Zhang Daming a hand since Zhang Daming used to know people in the system but didn't know many wealthy people.
Wasn't this a win-win situation?
However, Liu Master Chef also told him, "You'll definitely regret it after selling. Our kindergarten is getting better and better, and these spots may become even more precious in the future!"
Zhang Daming pursed his lips and said, "I'll still sell them." His son owed so much money that he had planned to sell his house.
With the 10,000 yuan from the portrait rights plus this 80,000 yuan and his salary, he could basically keep his house.
Liu Master Chef said, "Alright, I'll help you contact the buyers. But once you agree, you can't back out!"
The people who could afford this amount were powerful and influential. If he went back and forth, not only would he not get the money, but he'd also offend them.
Zhang Daming said, "Thank you, Old Liu."
He still felt a bit sad, "The school has given me so many things. My 100-plus pounds will be a burden on the kindergarten. I don't know how to repay them, but just watch my performance."
Liu Master Chef patted the school bus driver's shoulder and said, "Just do your job well. Don't think too much about it."
Zhang Daming told Liu Master Chef, "Don't we need more janitors here? Can my wife come work here? She doesn't want money, she just wants to repay a favor!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Master Chef said, "Let me talk to Shen Wei about it."
With so many children now, they were indeed short-staffed for indoor and outdoor cleaning.
...
Liu Master Chef negotiated a salary of 5,000 yuan per month with Shen Wei, which was the market rate.
When Zhang Daming heard this, he adamantly refused.
Liu Master Chef said, "Just take it. It's impossible not to pay you for working here. And with the two of you together, you'll pay it off quickly!"
Hearing this, Zhang Daming agreed.
...
The next day, Teacher Tang personally went to pick up the child of his mentor.
His mentor's child was a pretty little girl named Xu Wenwen.
The little girl was shy and introverted. When she saw Teacher Tang, she couldn't help but hide in her mother's embrace.
Xu Wenwen's mother said, "Didn't you watch the live stream yesterday? You said you wanted to be friends with everyone! Why are you being shy again today?"
Then Xu Wenwen's mother told Teacher Tang, "Thanks to you this time."
Teacher Tang said, "It's no problem. My mentor's kindness to me is as vast as a mountain. This small favor is the least I could do."
Xu Wenwen's mother felt a bit embarrassed and said, "If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have bothered you."
The story was long. She didn't know that the kindergarten now had small cliques. She thought it was normal for children to roughhouse, but perhaps because her Wenwen was too fragile, she was always bullied. By the time the parents realized, the little girl had become introverted and lacked self-confidence.
Now they had no choice but to transfer her to another kindergarten.
But in her condition, she needed special care. The parents were worried that teachers at other kindergartens wouldn't be able to give her enough attention.
Coincidentally, they saw the live stream and remembered Teacher Tang.
So they decided to give it a try and contacted him.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Tang was very happy to oblige and even came personally to pick her up.
The mother sent her child off, feeling reassured that her child was in Teacher Tang's hands.
At school, the children played games together and quickly became familiar with each other.
