Gourmet Kindergarten

"Clap clap clap—"

Teacher Yu clapped three times, forcibly pulling the cubs' attention back.

"Alright children, it's time for Pleasant Goat and Beautiful Goat to go home and rest. Line up and come into the classroom with Teacher Yu."

The moment the words were spoken, the cubs erupted in chaos.

"I'm not leaving! I want to watch Pleasant Goat fight Big Big Wolf!"

"I want to touch Pleasant Goat's tail! It's so soft!"

Pei Qian remained expressionless, but a thought flickered in his mind.

Fifteen lollipops silently slipped out of the pocket from the system's storage space.

"Kids, do you want some lollipops?"

He reached into his pocket and revealed a dazzling array of colorful candies.

The noise abruptly stopped.

A dozen pairs of little eyes were glued to the lollipop, and a few of the little ones even swallowed hard.

Even Hao Hao, who had been holding his bottle the whole time, stopped sucking and stretched out his short arms, crying out, "I want candy!"

Very good, you've got it right.

Pei Qian waved the candy in his hand and slowly stated the conditions: "You can have it, but you have to obediently go back to the classroom with Teacher Yu now. Once we get there, these lollipops are yours."

After saying that, he casually stuffed the whole bunch of lollipops into Teacher Yu's handbag.

The little ones' stance instantly shifted.

"Goodbye, Headmaster!"

"Goodbye, Pleasant Goat and Pretty Goat! I'll come find you to play again next time!"

"Sheep, don't miss me too much..."

The two lambs: "..."

Teacher Yu was both annoyed and amused. She quickly lined up the group and led these little traitors, who had been lured away by a piece of candy, into the teaching building.

After seeing off this group of "mythical beasts," the parents gradually dispersed.

But Lin Xi didn't leave.

She walked straight up to Pei Qian, who was preparing to lead the sheep into the park: "Little Director."

"Zhuangzhuang's mom, is there anything else?"

Pei Qian recognized the other person immediately, and his heart skipped a beat—oh no, could it be that they came in person to refund the tuition?

Fortunately, my worries were unnecessary.

Without any pleasantries, Lin Xi got straight to the point: "I'd like to apply for a position as a life skills teacher at your kindergarten."

Pei Qian was stunned, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Applying for a residential care worker position? You? Are you serious?

"Zhuangzhuang's mom, are you sure? This job is no easy task; it's all physical labor."

"I'm sure I'm not afraid of hard work."

The kindergarten is currently short-staffed. The position of life teacher has been posted for a whole day without any applicants. Although the current situation is a bit absurd, it is still better than having no position at all.

Just as Pei Qian was about to nod and make the decision—

"drop--!"

A sudden screech of brakes abruptly interrupted the conversation.

A striking red BMW was parked steadily at the park entrance.

The car door opened, and a woman with delicate features and a high ponytail stepped out.

Wearing a light-colored floral maxi dress and white sneakers, she looks fresh and pleasing to the eye.

This person was Shen Man, who came to apply for a kindergarten teacher position.

The moment she got out of the car, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to Pei Qian's sheep-leading pose, completely ignoring Lin Xi's presence beside her.

Hmm, these days, is it fashionable for handsome guys to walk sheep?

That's quite unconventional.

However, handsome guys look good no matter what they're with.

She glanced at it a couple more times, then silently looked away and walked towards the gatekeeper in her white sneakers.

Grandpa Li, the gatekeeper, was watching the commotion with a teacup in hand when he saw the pretty girl walking over and his eyes widened.

"Hello, sir."

Shen Man smiled and politely stated the purpose of her visit: "I have an appointment with your Principal Pei to interview kindergarten teachers today. Please inform her."

Grandpa Li paused for a moment, then waved his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs in Pei Qian's direction, "Young principal! Someone wants to interview you!"

"Okay, coming!"

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Man instinctively turned around to look.

She saw Pei Qian leading two sheep in one hand and walking briskly toward her with the other hand in his pocket.

The sweet smile on her lips froze in mid-air.

No way...

He... is that Director Pei?

They're so young!

Pei Qian walked up and casually tossed the sheep rope to Grandpa Li.

"Here for an interview?"

Pei Qian's gaze lingered on her briefly.

To be honest, this person is completely different from his idea of ​​a "preferred candidate".

It's not that it's not good enough, it's just that it's too eye-catching.

Her features were striking and bold, her figure was slender and toned, and she exuded a cool and aloof aura.

She just stood there quietly in front of me, showing no trace of the gentleness one would expect from someone taking care of a child.

If you didn't know better, you'd think some big star had wandered onto the wrong set.

"Hello, Principal Pei, I'm Shen Man. I've come here today for an interview for a kindergarten teacher position."

As she spoke, Shen Man handed over the resume she had prepared beforehand.

Pei Qian took it and glanced at it.

His resume is indeed impressive.

Although I graduated with a bachelor's degree, I did not major in early childhood education, but I have a preschool teacher qualification certificate. I have worked in early childhood education institutions, children's craft workshops, and even spent some time in baby bathhouses.

They really went wild by venturing into a new field.

Why didn't you stay in any of your previous jobs for long?

Shen Man gave an awkward smile: "I opened all three of those businesses, but they failed."

Pei Qian: "..."

What a talent!

However, he couldn't help but wonder – with this resume, every company he worked for failed, could he be a walking bankruptcy case?

If we hire people, will they also take our own kindergarten with them?

But then I thought about it again. My own kindergarten was already in dire straits. Besides, there was really no one left in the kindergarten. It was good enough that we could keep the staff. We had no right to be picky.

"Okay, I'll keep the resume for now."

Pei Qian smiled slightly, "But Teacher Shen, let me be frank with you first, our kindergarten's conditions are rather...simple, is that acceptable to you?"

"I did my research before coming, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Are you clear about the benefits?"

"clear."

Pei Qian nodded, about to say something more, when he caught a glimpse of Lin Xi still standing beside him.

Oh no, we've left them hanging.

"Zhuangzhuang's mom, I'm sorry for interrupting you." Pei Qian quickly got back to the main topic, "It's settled then about your application for the life skills teacher position. Can you start the onboarding process today?"

Beside her, Shen Man raised an eyebrow slightly.

Parents applying directly for the position of dormitory supervisor?

What's the point?

Most of them are worried that their own children will not adapt well to the kindergarten, so they come to keep an eye on them and can also earn some extra money on the side.

That makes sense.

"Yes, yes!" Lin Xi nodded happily.

"And you, Ms. Shen? Are you able to start work today?"

"Sure! No problem!"

Pei Qian glanced at her; the girl's decisiveness surprised him.

But that's fine too, it saves trouble.

"Okay, come with me to the office to complete the onboarding procedures."

Finally, Pei Qian turned around and shouted to Grandpa Li, "Grandpa Li, take these two sheep to the backyard. Don't let them gnaw on the flowerbeds by the door!"

"Okay, okay!"

Grandpa Li agreed verbally, but his hand was already touching the sheep's ear. "Come, come, children, come with Grandpa."

The two lambs: "Mommy?"

Pei Qian ignored him and turned to walk into the garden with the two women.

Upon arriving at the office, Pei Qian didn't bother with formalities. He pulled over two chairs, pulled out two employment forms from a drawer, and slammed them on the table: "Fill out the forms first, and then I'll take you to the classroom."
