Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 137 - 132: Zero Tolerance

"Xiaojun..."

Liu Shiwei sat upright in the luxurious back seat of the Maybach, his gaze intense as he stared ahead, and he instructed the driver briefly: "Drive a bit faster."

The driver was a young man in his twenties, not particularly striking in appearance, but with a strong physique and a steady demeanor. He nodded lightly, without hesitation, and slightly pressed the accelerator.

This driver was Wen Xueqian’s distant cousin. After retiring from the army the year before, he became Liu Shiwei’s dedicated driver and bodyguard under his cousin’s recommendation.

He became one of Liu Shiwei’s trusted assistants.

The black Maybach accelerated instantly, like a black lightning, effortlessly overtaking the vehicles ahead. Yet, in pursuit of speed, Gu Yejun maintained a steady driving style, ensuring the speed did not exceed the road’s limit.

The city’s road planning was orderly and extensive. Plus, it was not during rush hour, so the Maybach smoothly navigated through the traffic.

Soon enough...

The car steadily stopped at the entrance of Dorami Kindergarten.

"Chairman Liu, we’ve arrived!" Gu Yejun’s voice was respectful and courteous, breaking the silence inside the car.

The backseat window slowly lowered, revealing Liu Shiwei’s calm and profound face.

His gaze conveyed composure and decisiveness, but facing this unfamiliar kindergarten, he couldn’t help but show a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

Though Dorami Kindergarten was not far from Hu Jin Kindergarten, it was Liu Shiwei’s first visit to this campus, thus he felt somewhat unfamiliar with the surroundings.

Unlike the solemn atmosphere of Hu Jin Kindergarten, Dorami Kindergarten exuded a warm and lively vibe.

The walls on both sides of the campus were painted in vibrant colors, with lively and interesting patterns, each corner telling a story full of childlike wonder.

This ambience made the otherwise tense Liu Shiwei feel a bit relaxed and cheerful.

Just then.

Dong Yuantao, the assistant sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and respectfully said: "Chairman Liu, I’ve already called Director Liang at Dorami Kindergarten. She’ll be here soon; please wait a moment."

Yesterday morning, while he was fully focused on his work, Liu Shiwei suddenly assigned him an urgent task — to contact Director Liang Yinqiu of Dorami Kindergarten and arrange a visit.

This task was quite unexpected for him and also sparked his curiosity.

Why did the boss suddenly want to visit this established kindergarten?

Considering investment?

But he didn’t ask much, given the urgency of the task, he acted immediately.

After some effort, he finally managed to find Director Liang’s contact information through various inquiries and searches.

However, things did not become simpler thereafter.

He only managed to reach Director Liang after 8 PM.

Through patient communication, he successfully conveyed Chairman Liu’s intent to Director Liang and arranged for a visit at ten this morning.

"Hmm."

Liu Shiwei nodded slightly.

Soon after, he felt a mild urge to smoke.

He calmly took out a meticulously crafted cigar box.

As he opened the lid slowly, a faint tobacco aroma wafted out...

He took out one, tilting his head slightly, he elegantly bit onto the cigar, a delicate lighter then appeared in his hand.

"Click!"

A crisp sound echoed; a blue flame rose.

Liu Shiwei took a deep draw from the cigar, the rich tobacco flavor immediately filled his mouth, bringing an indescribable satisfaction.

However, just at this moment.

Uncle Li, at the security booth, unintentionally spotted Liu Shiwei’s car.

His gaze captured the wisps of smoke wafting from inside the car through the window.

Although Uncle Li didn’t recognize the car’s brand, he could tell from its streamlined design and luxurious appearance that it was no ordinary vehicle.

But so what?

Even a noble vehicle is no excuse for smoking at the entrance of a kindergarten.

After all, this is a haven for children’s growth, a cradle for their healthy upbringing.

He couldn’t tolerate any behavior that posed a potential threat to children’s health.

So, Uncle Li, overflowing with a sense of justice, furrowed his brows, quickly walked towards Liu Shiwei’s car, and said sternly, "What are you doing? Put out the cigarette! Don’t you know this is a kindergarten? No smoking allowed!"

Gu Yejun and Dong Yuantao, upon hearing this, immediately looked awkward.

They were well aware that Uncle Li, as the kindergarten’s security guard, bore the crucial responsibility of safeguarding the children’s safety and was intolerant of any behavior that might threaten the children’s health and safety.

At the same time, they also understood that their boss smoking here was indeed quite inappropriate.

However, since Liu Shiwei was their financial benefactor, they didn’t dare to casually remind him.

Helplessly, the two could only exchange glances, giving Uncle Li a slightly embarrassed and apologetic smile to express their regret.

Liu Shiwei, who was always admired and respected, found himself unexpectedly reprimanded by an elderly security guard, which made him a bit embarrassed. At the same time, he realized his mistake and quickly put out his cigarette.

He offered an awkward yet polite smile and explained, "I’m sorry, elder, I was indeed careless. I thought this was just outside the kindergarten and didn’t realize it was a no-smoking area. I will surely pay attention next time and never repeat this mistake."

Uncle Li did not relent in response to his explanation, saying firmly, "Even outside is not okay! The children here are the future of our nation, and they must be given the most comprehensive care and protection. Also, what brings the three of you to our Dorami Kindergarten?"

Dong Yuantao immediately responded, "Here’s the situation: our Chairman Liu is here to visit your kindergarten today. We’ve already contacted Director Liang in advance, and she will be coming over shortly."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li’s brows slightly relaxed.

He nodded, still with a stern demeanor, saying, "Since you’ve already arranged with Director Liang, you can wait here for a moment. However, I must remind you once again, don’t smoke anymore."

Liu Shiwei felt embarrassed but immediately nodded to show understanding and sincerely responded, "Rest assured, elder, I won’t smoke again!"

Uncle Li nodded with satisfaction. As he turned to leave, he suddenly noticed Liang Yinqiu, dressed in her OL uniform, walking towards them.

He immediately greeted with a broad smile, "Director Liang, you’re here! The people looking for you are right over by that car."

Saying that, Uncle Li enthusiastically pointed out to Liang Yinqiu where Liu Shiwei and the others were.

"Great!"

Liang Yinqiu nodded with a smile to express thanks and then headed in the direction of Liu Shiwei and the others.

Liu Shiwei also immediately got out of the car upon hearing their conversation, approached with a smile, and extended his hand towards Liang Yinqiu, "Hello, are you Director Liang, Liang Yinqiu? My surname is Liu, and my assistant Xiaotao has already spoken to you on the phone."

"Hello, Chairman Liu!"

Liang Yinqiu smiled as she shook hands with him, "Now, let me show you around our kindergarten!"

"Okay, thank you! Sorry for the trouble!"

Liu Shiwei nodded, and then, along with Dong Yuantao, walked through the gate of Dorami Kindergarten.

Today is Monday, and the cheerful laughter of the children fills the kindergarten, with vitality and energy radiating throughout the campus.

Dorami Kindergarten boasts a spacious area with a well-laid-out campus.

The teaching and office buildings stand separately, each fulfilling different functions.

Within the teaching building, spacious and bright classrooms and multifunctional activity rooms provide a good learning environment for the children, while the office building handles the kindergarten’s management and administration, ensuring the smooth operation of the institution.

The sports playground and play area are also neatly organized.

Facilities like slides, swings, and sandpits are all present and complete, with no obvious differences compared to other kindergartens.

However.

Compared to Hu Jin Kindergarten, Dorami Kindergarten’s exterior and internal facilities do appear somewhat aged.

The traces of time have left their marks on the buildings and facilities, allowing one to feel the passage of time at a glance.

Honestly...

Under such conditions, Liu Shiwei’s eyes are not easily impressed...

But he couldn’t resist his daughter’s strong interest in this kindergarten, as she’s determined to transfer here.

For a moment, a wave of regret surged in Liu Shiwei’s heart. He regretted not bringing his daughter along for the visit. If she saw this old kindergarten with her own eyes, her desire to transfer might significantly weaken, possibly even leading her to reconsider the decision.

But as things stood, Liu Shiwei decided to set aside the doubts and regrets in his heart for the time being and focus on the visit.

He planned to discuss the decision to transfer with his daughter after fully understanding the Dorami Kindergarten.

Suddenly...

A waft of fragrance drifted by with the wind, lingering subtly at the tip of his nose.

His nose instinctively twitched slightly, seemingly captivated by this unusual scent.

"Hmm? Where is this fragrance coming from?"

He asked himself softly, slightly furrowing his brows, as he tried to discern the source of the scent.
