Her Kindergarten is Full of Villainous Students

Chapter 196

Shen's Father approached Shen Wei and said, "Your Uncle Liao wants to come and pick fruits here."

Every time he visited the livestream, he was the top donor, gifting several million yuan.

He was also a local tycoon in their circle.

In the hierarchy of the wealthy, he stood at the very top. Money was just a number to him.

Someone must have recommended the kindergarten to him.

Now he had become a fan of Starry Sky Kindergarten's livestreams.

Whenever he joined, the screen would be filled with flashy gift effects.

It was a dazzling sight for viewers.

Rumor had it that people were even privately messaging him, trying to compete for the top donor position.

He had contacted Shen's Father because he wanted to experience the children's joy firsthand.

Knowing that Shen Wei was busy, he didn't want to bother her with such a small matter.

So he decided to approach someone he considered influential.

As it happened, Shen's Father had previously bought some mutual funds and stocks, one of which was recommended by Uncle Liao.

It had made him a fortune.

That's why he had invested in Shen Wei's Third-tier University, becoming a board member and setting up a scholarship fund, wanting to do some good.

Now that Uncle Liao had made his request, Shen's Father felt he couldn't refuse.

Shen Wei said, "Just a moment!" Then she made a call to Liu Chef.

After all, such matters should be discussed with the person in charge.

Liu Chef immediately agreed upon hearing the request.

Although he wasn't part of the wealthy circle,

As a top chef, he was well aware of which families truly had influence.

He was touched that Shen Wei had called him about this.

It would have been fine if Shen Wei had agreed directly.

But the fact that she called him showed real respect.

He readily agreed, "Of course!"

When Uncle Liao arrived, he was dressed in casual clothes.

The children had already finished their picking. The vast vegetable garden was all his.

He fell in love with it the moment he entered.

As soon as he stepped in, he was greeted by the fresh scent of vegetables.

He had been itching to come ever since he saw the children picking vegetables on the livestream.

Now that he was here in person, it was even more impressive.

The vast scale of the garden was truly stunning.

He too picked up a basket and went in, choosing the cucumbers that caught his eye.

He only picked tomatoes that were pinkish-red and perfectly shaped for his basket.

With each pick, the rich aroma of vegetables became even more refreshing.

The scent seemed to soothe and massage his spirit through his sense of smell.

After filling a small basket, he realized this vegetable garden was truly exceptional.

It was like playing house as a child.

Everywhere he turned, there were "treasures."

He had initially thought one basket would be enough, not wanting to be greedy.

But he enjoyed it so much that he ended up filling several baskets.

He spent five or six hours at it.

When he finally straightened up, his back and waist were aching.

But he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

Working in the fields was far more enjoyable than attending business functions.

Afterward, he remembered to take a selfie and post it on his rarely updated social media.

The tycoon's social circle was full of other big shots.

His friends were surprised to see him picking vegetables at Starry Sky Kindergarten.

And he had picked so much, seven or eight baskets by the looks of it.

They quickly asked, "What's going on? How did you get in there? Who did you talk to?"

They were all intrigued.

After all, many people had been eyeing Starry Sky Kindergarten's vegetable garden.

But they had held back due to their status, not wanting to impose.

Yet this old fox had managed to get in and picked so much!

The tycoon gave a brief reply and was about to leave.

He had picked seven or eight baskets, each weighing seventy to eighty pounds.

He couldn't take them all, so he was planning to take just three to five pounds. But Liu Chef insisted he take a whole basket.

They filled it with a bit of everything, and before they knew it, the large basket was full.

It contained all kinds of vegetables.

All picked by the tycoon himself.

Eating something you've picked with your own hands makes it taste different.

When the tycoon returned home that evening, he had his personal chef prepare the vegetables with great care.

The seeds used in the garden had been optimized by the system.

They tasted incredible even with normal preparation.

The home chef, eager to please the tycoon, pulled out all the stops, bringing out the best in each vegetable.

For the first time, the tycoon understood that the phrase "so delicious you could bite your tongue off" wasn't just an exaggeration.

The other tycoons also wanted to visit, but they were too polite to ask directly.

Shen's Father knew that if he opened this door, it would be hard to refuse others later.

So he ignored all their hints.

The other tycoons suggested, "Why not sell tickets?" They really wanted to come and pick vegetables.

They were willing to pay even if it was expensive.

Somehow, this idea made its way onto the internet.

Netizens shared the same thought.

Soon, every video Liu Chef posted about the vegetable garden had comments saying, "Sell tickets!"

Liu Chef was walking on air.

Yesterday, each of the little treasures from the picking garden had taken two pounds of vegetables home.

The parents, having tasted Starry Sky Kindergarten's vegetables before, treated them with great care.

The parent group chat was flooded with food photos and long, praising messages.

Liu Chef couldn't stop scrolling through them.

He wore a satisfied smile.

After just a few steps, he bumped into Chef Chen.

Liu Chef's smile hadn't faded yet when Chef Chen said sarcastically, "Feeling smug again, are we?"

"Huh?"

Chef Chen grumbled, "You really can't help showing off every little thing you've got."

Now even people asking for vegetables were coming to Chef Chen.

These vegetables were needed for the main restaurant and the pop-up store.

In a few days, they would also be supplying meals to the second Starry Sky Kindergarten.

They were already stretched thin.

Now they had the attention of the entire internet and all the students' parents.

No matter how many vegetables they had, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy everyone's interest.

Chef Chen was at a loss with his junior colleague.

Liu Chef felt a bit guilty: "But I didn't agree this time, did I?"

If he had acted like he used to, getting excited over every compliment, he might have switched to selling vegetables on the spot.

Remembering how selling seeds had blocked the road last time, he shuddered.

When your side business becomes too successful, it can be a sweet burden.
