“Mom, why do people have to go to kindergarten?” Ye Xun held Ye Shu’s hand and walked towards his destination unwillingly.

This was the first thing Ye Shu did after returning to China. She arranged a new kindergarten for Ye Xun.

Ye Shu really did not know how to discuss such a profound question of life with her son. She could only smile and say, “Isn’t it good to go to kindergarten?”

“No!” Ye Xun replied without hesitation.

“There are many children you could play with in the kindergarten, right?” Ye Shu tried to counsel his son.

“But I don’t like playing with them!” Ye Xun pouted unhappily. “They’re too childish!”

Hearing Ye Xun’s words, Ye Shu could not help but raise her eyebrows. “Childish?”

“Alright… You can try this new kindergarten for a few days first. If you don’t like it, we can discuss what to do next.” Ye Shu decided to use a stalling tactic to appease Ye Xun first.

Ye Xun thought for a moment and said, “Then I need to reassemble a set of equipment.”

Ye Shu asked in surprise, “Can’t we use the previous set?”

“It’s too old!” Ye Xun spoke without the slightest hesitation.

“Didn’t you only use it for a year…” Ye Shu said unwillingly.

“In this day and age, don’t things get replaced quickly?” Ye Xun said matter-of-factly.

Ye Shu sighed helplessly. “Alright! I promise you!”

When Ye Xun heard this, he looked as if his scheme had succeeded. “Mom, don’t worry! I’ll definitely be good in kindergarten!”

Ye Shu looked at his son’s cunning expression and really did not know whom he had taken after!

…

“Ye Shu, our boss said that a construction company is hiring an assistant. Do you want to give it a try?” Mu Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa with a bowl of noodles in her hand and said while eating.

“Can I…?” Ye Shu asked with uncertainty.

She didn’t have much education. Although she had worked as a secretary overseas for a period of time, she was only doing odd jobs.

Mu Xiao turned to look at Ye Shu, who was still busy in the kitchen. “Since when did you feel so inferior?”

Ye Shu paused for a moment before saying, “I just don’t want to trouble you.”

Mu Xiao placed the bowl on the coffee table in front of her and stood up to walk to Ye Shu. She patted Ye Shu’s shoulder heavily. “You’re being too polite with me!”

Ye Shu turned to look at Mu Xiao and smiled. “Thank you!”

“Standing on ceremony with me again!” Mu Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “If it’s alright, why don’t you don’t you give it a try tomorrow?”

“Really?” Ye Shu asked in disbelief.

“Our boss is very familiar with the boss of that company. He just needs to get in touch.” Mu Xiao returned to the sofa again, picked up the bowl, and continued eating the noodles.

Ye Shu stopped what she was doing and tilted her head to look at Mu Xiao. “I feel that your boss treats you very well!”

“Yes! Our boss is indeed a nice person!” Mu Xiao continued to eat her noodles, her gaze drawn to the plot of the drama on the television.

“Is your boss handsome?” Ye Shu asked again.

“Yes! He’s not bad.” Mu Xiao thought for a moment before continuing.

“Oh…” Ye Shu nodded and did not continue asking.

…

“Little Master, don’t go so fast!” A white-haired old man was chasing a small figure around the office building of the Qi Corporation.

“I told you not to follow me!” Qi Chen shouted impatiently.

“Today is your first day of school, how can I not follow you!” the old man sighed helplessly.

As the butler of the Qi family’s new residence, the old man felt extremely bitter.

This Little Master and Young Master were simply carved from the same mold!

Today was supposed to be Little Master’s first day of school at the kindergarten, but he actually found the kindergarten curriculum too shallow and refused to go no matter what.

In the morning, he even ordered the chauffeur to drive straight to the Qi Corporation, saying that he wanted to have a good talk with his father, whom he had not seen for a month.

Qi Chen only stopped when he reached the CEO’s office.He swallowed slightly before knocking and waiting. Towards his father, he felt reverence and a trace of fear.

A voice came from the office. “Come in!”

Qi Chen took a deep breath and pushed the door.

Unfortunately, the door to the CEO’s office was made of two layers of solid wood. The little Qi Chen could not push it open at all.

He used all his strength, but could only slip on the spot. He let go and took two steps back. He stood still and said coldly, “Open the door!”

The old butler, who was waiting quietly by the side, stepped forward and pushed the door of the CEO’s office open for him..
