The birthday of the young master of the Liu Family, Liu Chen, was approaching quickly.
When the butler came to fetch him, he took Liu Chen's hand and led him to Teacher Tang's office, saying there was something to discuss.
"What's the matter?" asked Teacher Tang.
Liu Chen was well-mannered and articulate in class, but at that moment he became shy and coyly told the butler, "You tell her!" as he acted coquettishly.
The butler looked at the young master in surprise, then said, "It's like this, our young master is about to have his birthday! He wants to invite his classmates from Starry Sky Kindergarten to attend his birthday celebration."
The Liu Family was very powerful locally. Liu Chen was the only son of the third young master of the Liu Family.
For every child's birthday, they would book the largest hotel and hold a grand celebration lasting an entire day.
Liu Chen's birthday conveniently fell on a Saturday when his classmates had no school.
Teacher Tang said, "Alright, I'll post it in our group chat and let everyone respond!"
After posting, the parents of the classmates all eagerly responded, saying they would definitely attend.
"Ah, that's wonderful!"
"Don't worry about our little money-guzzler."
"Our child is delighted to attend kindergarten but cries when there's a holiday, wishing to go to school every day."
After settling the matter, Teacher Tang specifically informed Shen Wei.
Shen Wei said, "Sure, I'm free that day, I'll bring the children along!"
Since there would be so many children to look after.
Liu Chen was the young master of high society.
But his classmates all came from ordinary families, so when the Liu Family invited the children, they didn't intend to include the parents.
Because the Liu Family would take this opportunity to host a banquet and invite many social elites, they were afraid some parents might inadvertently disturb the distinguished guests.
Shen Wei's status was suitable.
With no parents attending, Teacher Tang thought, "Then I'll go too!"
Shen Wei was alone, so she might not be able to handle over twenty children by herself.
When the parents heard that Teacher Tang and Shen Wei would both be going, they felt very reassured.
On that day, when Liu Chen learned that everyone would attend, he jumped and skipped with joy.
Even the butler was amazed to see the young master so genuinely happy.
Previously, elite families emphasized elite education.
Children were taught from a young age to conceal their emotions, including mastering disciplines like calligraphy.
Exposing children to such things too early could extinguish their natural dispositions.
Among the elite, one would only see well-behaved, restrained children.
But after coming to Starry Sky Kindergarten, the young master had become lively and cheerful.
After school each day, he would loudly recount all kinds of stories from his day during meals.
His parents had a business marriage without strong feelings, but now that the young master had become lively and cheerful, the parents' relationship had also improved.
The third young master of the Liu Family canceled a business banquet, and his wife skipped beauty treatments.
Instead, they took time out that day to accompany their son.
Unknowingly, the family's bond strengthened.
Liu Chen's happiness improved the overall atmosphere of the Liu Family compared to before.
Moreover, it was said that the third young master had dismissed all his mistresses.
He seemed reformed, even pleading with the lady of the house for a second child. Initially, Liu Chen's mother had intended to go their separate ways, perhaps even divorcing. Who could have imagined this reversal, with the third young master now pursuing his wife?
It made Liu Chen's mother's friends curious about what kind of wife-taming tactics she had used, as they wanted to try them too.
Indeed, children are the bond between parents.
For his birthday, Liu Chen's only request was to invite his classmates to attend his birthday celebration.
In the past, this would have clearly violated elite protocol.
But the couple agreed unanimously.
They even specifically consulted the grandfather of the Liu Family's grand residence.
Finally, everything was settled, and Liu Chen was overjoyed.
Early on Saturday morning, various luxury cars were parked outside the Auspicious Cloud Grand Hotel.
Everyone knew it was the birthday celebration for the young master of the Liu Family.
All children of similar ages from elite families were invited.
Local aristocratic families also attended, using this opportunity to strengthen connections and promote cooperation.
The principal of Noble Kindergarten obtained an invitation from elsewhere and made careful preparations, hoping to recruit a few elite children to enroll at their kindergarten!
At that moment, Liu Chen wore a green bowtie and a little suit, looking very dashing for a child of his age. He would greet everyone warmly and confidently.
His grandfather was extremely delighted.
Everyone complimented him: "This young master is impressive, able to receive guests at such a young age. The Liu Family has a worthy successor!"
"The child's parents are truly exquisite beauties, and the child is outstanding too."
"Indeed, if our child could be half as excellent, I would be content!"
Everyone offered auspicious wishes, congratulating the young master.
The other elite children, dressed in high-end brand clothing, came to give him gifts.
These elite children, despite being only a few years old, had been carefully trained in etiquette. The grander the occasion, the more poised and elegant they appeared.
Even the principal of Noble Kindergarten was amazed.
Befitting the elite, they had strong foundations. If only she could recruit one or two, or even better, three families, it would be marvelous.
The renowned Noble Kindergarten was a minor figure that had to bow and scrape in high society.
Admissions had always been difficult, and with the addition of Starry Sky Kindergarten, it became even harder. They had opened a campus equestrian center this year and spent millions on advertising, incurring huge expenses. If they couldn't recruit more elite students, this year's board meeting would be challenging.
Noble Kindergarten made a great effort, hoping to enroll more students.
These elite children usually opted for private elite education at home, but children still needed playmates. In the past, she had persuaded many with this reasoning.
At that moment, the banquet hall opened, and a group of lively children arrived, drawing everyone's attention.
Each child carried toys like Transformers or Ultraman that boys particularly loved as gifts.
The children enthusiastically wished Liu Chen a happy birthday and sang the birthday song for him.
Unlike the poised elite children, these twenty-plus children immediately livened up the atmosphere.
It was evident that the elite children from the Liu Family were especially delighted to see these children.
Liu Chen pulled his friends' hands, eager to show them the new slide his grandfather had bought for him to play on.
[Liu Chen] was bouncing and jumping around, not like the well-groomed heir of a prestigious family. He had reverted to the demeanor of a typical five-year-old child.
The principal of the Noble Kindergarten turned her head and saw the newcomers. Her expression immediately darkened.
How dare they come here?
It was none other than Teacher Tang and Shen Wei from Starry Sky Kindergarten. She became wary.
