To be honest, the meal was delightful. Li Hong was not one to be harsh on himself or Yuchen; he always aimed to make each meal the best it could be.
Although Lin Ruxian's presence made the home feel a bit noisy and bustling, it didn't affect anything significantly.
After finishing the meal, Lin Ruxian knew that Li Hong would be heading to the kindergarten later to handle Yuchen's enrollment procedures, so she didn't want to overstay her welcome. After bidding farewell to Yuchen, Lin Ruxian left Li Hong's home with a bright smile.
Back in her Lamborghini, Lin Ruxian rubbed her flushed cheeks and couldn't help but wonder if she was in love.
It must be, right?
Perhaps Lin Ruxian wasn't entirely sure herself, or maybe she felt hesitant due to Li Hong's aloofness.
After watching Lin Ruxian drive away from the window, Li Hong shook his head and returned to his room.
After changing Yuchen into a beautiful dress, Li Hong took his precious little girl and headed towards the nearby kindergarten.
As they drove past the traffic lights outside the district, Yuchen sulked in the backseat and asked, "Uncle, I don't want to go to school."
"You have to go to school! Yuchen should go to school and study hard to become a knowledgeable girl," Li Hong replied, not fully understanding the child's feelings but trying to encourage her based on his own thoughts.
Yuchen pouted and said unhappily, "But if I go to school, I won't see you!"
"Uncle has to go to work too. Once Uncle finishes work and you finish school, you'll get to see me," Li Hong said with a smile.
Children often find school more painful than anything else. Li Hong didn't want to be overly demanding; he could only do his best to reassure Yuchen about going to school.
Even though Li Hong adored Yuchen, attending school was not something she could decide against. In this magical place called Huaxia, education was the only shortcut to advancement.
Li Hong wasn't the type of parent who solely focused on grades; he didn't care how well Yuchen performed academically. However, until Yuchen showed other talents, it was best for her to obediently attend school.
Reading more books not only broadens one's horizons but also increases knowledge. Li Hong wouldn't indulge Yuchen in this matter.
Yuchen knew that no matter what, he could not change Li Hong's mind. He could only hang his head and sit silently in the back seat.
Li Hong glanced at Yuchen through the rearview mirror, shaking his head with a smile, ignoring Yuchen's displeasure.
Soon, under the driving of Old Driver Li Hong, the car arrived quickly at the entrance of Sunshine Kindergarten.
Sunshine Kindergarten was a public kindergarten that had been established for many years. It had a great reputation in this area of the capital.
As a public institution, this kindergarten had strict requirements regarding residency and qualifications. Generally speaking, it was quite difficult for children of outsiders like Li Hong to enroll in Sunshine Kindergarten.
However, Li Hong was not an ordinary person. Although it was challenging, he was willing to make some sacrifices for Yuchen to attend a better environment.
His influence might not be very strong in the capital's competitive landscape, but he could at least reach out to others.
Scallion and Ma Ge were both prominent figures in Huaxia. With their backing, Yuchen's admission would be smooth sailing.
No matter how prestigious Sunshine Kindergarten was, it would not dare to refuse Yuchen's enrollment. So even though they knew Yuchen was joining mid-term, Sunshine Kindergarten quickly agreed.
This matter had already been discussed beforehand; all Li Hong needed to do was bring Yuchen to complete the enrollment paperwork and documentation.
After calling Principal Wan, who had been arranged beforehand, to let him know they were coming, Li Hong followed him into the principal's office located in the center of the kindergarten.
"Mr. Li, I thought you wouldn't make it today," Principal Wan said as he poured a cup of hot tea for Li Hong, smiling broadly.
Li Hong quickly apologized, "Sorry, Principal Wan. I got delayed this morning because work was busy."
"It's alright, I understand," Principal Wan replied, clearly not upset about Li Hong's tardiness.
It was indeed a rare sight for him to see two tycoons from Huaxia's business world personally vouching for a girl's admission to kindergarten.
With this alone, he could guess that Li Hong's identity was likely not that simple. It was already quite rare for someone like him to take the time to handle his daughter's enrollment procedures.
"This must be Classmate Li Yuchen, right?" Principal Wan asked curiously, pointing at Yuchen, who was being led by Li Hong.
Li Hong smiled and said to Yuchen, "Yuchen, be good and greet Grandpa Wan!"
"Hello, Grandpa Wan!" Yuchen called out cutely.
Principal Wan felt a sense of warmth and smiled broadly. "Very good, very good. The girl is quite clever. Mr. Li, how old is your daughter this year?"
"Almost six, just two months shy," Li Hong replied, stating Yuchen's age with ease.
"Well then, she should go to the middle class. It's not quite suitable for her age to be in the big class," Principal Wan pondered.
Li Hong nodded. "No problem, you can arrange it as you see fit; I have no objections."
"Alright, Mr. Li, as the guardian, please fill out this form," Principal Wan said, nodding as he took out a form and handed it to Li Hong.
Such matters were usually handled by designated staff members; as the principal of Sunshine Kindergarten, Principal Wan technically didn't need to deal with these tasks.
However, given Li Hong's special identity and mysterious background, Principal Wan had no choice but to personally assist him with these procedures.
Perhaps because the principal was handling it personally, Li Hong found the enrollment process quite easy.
After filling out the form and presenting Yuchen's identification documents and information, it wasn't long before Yuchen officially became a new student at Sunshine Kindergarten.
Today was a weekday, so there was no school.
Thus, although Yuchen's enrollment procedures had been completed, her actual attendance would have to wait until later.
However, Li Hong only needed to drop Yuchen off at Sunshine Kindergarten; the rest would be handled by the teachers.
After completing the registration, the next step was to pay the tuition fees.
For kindergartens, whether public or private, the tuition fees are always a staggering amount.
Take Sunshine Kindergarten, for example. The tuition for one semester is a full seven thousand eight hundred dollars. This is just the basic tuition; when you add in various additional fees, around fifteen thousand dollars is probably a more accurate figure.
Regarding this issue, although Li Hong complained endlessly, she still obediently paid the required fees.
Knowing it's a scam, what can you do? Are you really going to let your child miss out on kindergarten because of this?
