After working for several months, Xi Danping finally finished drawing up the blueprints for the kindergarten, and he felt that they were perfect.

He looked at the blueprints again and found nothing wrong with them, so he took them to Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening spent half a day filming in the valley, had lunch, and went to the office in the afternoon to handle company affairs. She had just sat down when there was a knock on the door: "Come in."

Xi Danping tiptoed in through the door: "President Shen."

Shen Xuening looked up and asked, "Why are you here?"

"The kindergarten design drawings are finished. I'll bring them over for you to see." Xi Danping walked to Shen Xuening's side, unlocked the tablet, and then showed it to Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening took the tablet, placed it on the table, and began to look at it intently.

After looking at it, Shen Xuening said, "It can be built a bit bigger. Land here isn't as valuable as in the city."

Xi Danping smiled and said, "I understand. Are there any other places that need to be modified?"

Shen Xuening shook her head and gave it high praise: "No, I think it's perfect." She added, "I think your designs are getting better and better, and you deserve a reward."

Xi Danping smiled modestly and said, "I've been thinking about this kindergarten design for a long time, and I feel like I'm running out of ideas. I'd like to take some further training, is that alright?"

Shen Xuening said, "Of course, have you decided where you want to study? If not, I can help you make some contact information."

Xi Danping exclaimed with delight, "If President Shen is willing to help, that would be wonderful!"

Shen Xuening is very kind to employees who have made contributions, especially friends like Xi Danping: "Then go back and wait for the notification, no more than three days."

Xi Danping was overjoyed: "Great!"

Shen Xuening made a phone call and summoned the contractor.

When the contractor received Shen Xuening's call, he was both nervous and happy. He was nervous because Shen Xuening had very high standards and would make him revise anything he was not satisfied with. He was happy because there might be more work to be done. After all, for a contractor, work is the most important thing.

This was something that made him happy. After hearing Shen Xuening's words, the contractor immediately rushed over: "President Shen, I'm here."

Shen Xuening said, "I've been busy here, so I haven't been eating much. Here are the kindergarten design plans. Do you think you can build it?"

The foreman took the tablet with a broad smile, and after looking at it, a confident smile immediately appeared on his face: "Mr. Shen, no problem."

"Let's go then, I'll take you to see the foundation." Shen Xuening stood up and led the contractor outside.

The contractor followed up and asked, "Mr. Shen, after the kindergarten is built, can anyone come to attend?"

Shen Xuening said, "Children of employees are given priority, then children from the village, and finally children from outside the village."

The contractor then asked, "Where are you going to hire the kindergarten teachers?"

Shen Xuening said, "We need to hire a principal, an experienced teacher, four patient teachers in charge, two interns, and other staff depending on their positions."

The contractor smiled and said, "I'd like to send my child over, is that alright?"

Shen Xuening turned to look at the contractor: "How old are you? Your child is only in kindergarten?"

The contractor scratched his head sheepishly: "I just look older than my age, don't I? I got married late, so my child is still very young."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Since you've already asked, I'll naturally give you face. Just send the child over then."

The contractor said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Their whole family works here, and if their child also goes to school here, it would be so convenient to pick them up and drop them off.

As they talked, the two arrived at the spot that Shen Xuening had planned in advance.

This is an open space next to a residential area. It is bordered by residential areas on one side and mountains on the other. It is close to school, has a good environment and beautiful scenery, making it a great place for children to go to school.

The contractor surveyed the site and exclaimed, "Such a large piece of land would be worth at least tens of millions if it were in the city."

Shen Xuening said, "We're not in the city, we're in a village, so we don't need to worry about the size of the area."

The foreman nodded and said, "Mr. Shen is right."

Shen Xuening pointed out the site to the contractor one by one, and then said, "This is the area. The main entrance is in this direction. Choose better materials and build the kindergarten properly."

The contractor said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Shen. I will be sending my child to school here in the future, and I will definitely build the kindergarten to perfection."

"That's good." Shen Xuening led the contractor around the site, stopping and starting as they went, pointing out precautions to ensure that once the site was built, things wouldn't be unsuitable and impossible to fix.

The foreman took out a small notebook and wrote down everything Shen Xuening said, making sure nothing was missed.

Shen Xuening glanced at the contractor's notebook: "You're quite dedicated."

The foreman said, "You have to love what you do."

Shen Xuening couldn't help laughing.

The kindergarten design was finalized, the site was selected, the contractor was chosen, manpower and materials were brought in, and then construction could begin.

The news of the kindergarten's construction quickly spread throughout the surrounding area, and everyone was looking forward to it. Once the kindergarten was completed, the children would be able to attend school right near their homes, which would be very convenient.

"Have you heard? Construction is starting on the kindergarten."

"I heard about it, and I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Once the kindergarten is built, I will bring my grandson back to study at home. It's close by, so it's convenient to pick him up and drop him off, and I won't have to get up early every day."

“I also want my grandson to come here to study. It’s too far for him to go to school. It takes half an hour to walk there.”

"Sure, we can take him in. We can take our grandson to school together, chat, and pass the time."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the children."

Several employees.

"The kindergarten is finally going to open. My child is just three years old. I was reluctant to come here to work, but I couldn't afford to raise my child. Now I'm not afraid anymore. I'll bring my child here next year so he can start school."

“My child is still young. Now that there’s a kindergarten here, I’m planning to bring him over so he can go to school here.”

"I wonder if the kindergarten needs cleaning staff or anything like that? I'll have my mother-in-law bring the kids over so she can pick them up and drop them off, and she can also earn some extra money."

"You can check the job postings; they're updated daily. If you see a cleaning job opening, call and inquire right away."

"That's right, you can see anything on your phone, it's so convenient."

"Yes, life here is no worse than in the city. In fact, the city is not as convenient and fast as here. I plan to work here from now on and not go back to my hometown."

“My hometown is too remote, which is not good for the children, and I don’t like it much myself. I plan to earn money to buy a house here and settle down here.”

"..."

The construction of the kindergarten has an impact on many people; just listen to what they have to say.

That evening, Liu Juan was cleaning the delivery boxes in the yard when she saw Shen Xuening return. She immediately called out to her, "Ningning, you're back."

Shen Xuening stopped in her tracks: "Mom, is something the matter?"

Liu Juan wiped her hands and looked at Shen Xuening, saying, "I want to ask, can anyone come to kindergarten?"

Shen Xuening said, "No, employees come first, then the children in the village, and lastly the children from other places. What's wrong? Does anyone want to come to my kindergarten?"

Liu Juan said, "During the day, someone asked me if I had started building a kindergarten. He said he wanted to send his child to the kindergarten."

Shen Xuening said, "No, there are restrictions."

Liu Juan nodded: "I understand. I'll tell him that next time I see him."

Shen Xuening said, "Mom, don't agree to let other people's children go to school. I'm afraid there won't be enough spots, and then it will be hard for you to say anything."

Liu Juan said, "I know, I didn't promise anyone anything, I was just asking on their behalf."

As they were talking, Grandma Shen came out of the house: "Ningning, when will the kindergarten be finished?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and replied, "It will probably take about half a year. I'll go after the New Year. What's wrong, Grandma?"

Grandma Shen truthfully said, "Some people asked me if it would be too late to send my child to school next year."

Shen Xuening said, "After the kindergarten is built after the start of the year, it will need to be renovated and left vacant for a while. It won't be able to enroll children until the second half of the year."

Grandma Shen said, "So that means it will take about a year?"

Shen Xuening nodded: "Yes."

Grandma Shen suddenly laughed: "Today, many people asked me about kindergarten. I said I didn't know, and you didn't tell me, but they all seemed very interested, so I came back to ask you."

Shen Xuening said, "Just say what you know. The kindergarten still has a long time before it can enroll students, so there's no rush."

Grandma Shen said, "I understand now."

As they were talking, members of the Shen family gradually gathered around, all asking about the kindergarten, showing that quite a few people had inquired about it in the past few days.

Shen Xuening answered their questions one by one, and after she finished answering, everything about the kindergarten became clear.

Shen Baohong said, "It's just a kindergarten, why are you all so concerned?"

Shen Xuening said, "It's a matter of children's schooling, so parents are naturally concerned."

Shen Baohong thought about it and felt it made sense: "Teacher, have you decided who to invite?"

Shen Xuening answered confidently, "No, but if we post the job openings, will no teachers apply?"

Shen Baohong nodded: "That's right."

Shen Xuening said, "Internal recommendations are possible, and you can also make recommendations."

"Really?" Shen Baohong asked in surprise.

"Judging from your reaction, something seems to be wrong?" Shen Xuening looked at Shen Baohong, her discerning eyes seeing right through him; he was definitely up to something.

Shen Baohong immediately suppressed his smile: "Hehe, you saw through me." He slightly avoided Shen Xuening's gaze and said, "A classmate asked me to recommend a job. He became a teacher after graduation. If you agree to give him a chance, wouldn't that be a perfect match?"

Shen Xuening said, "The recruitment will not take place until next year, but for your sake, we can let him apply in advance. The kindergarten needs to purchase supplies, and if he is hired, we can entrust him with these tasks."

Shen Baohong answered crisply, "No problem."

……

Back in his room, Shen Baohong immediately called his classmate Yuan Qing.

Yuan Qing had been waiting for Shen Baohong's call. When she saw his call, she answered immediately and asked excitedly, "Baohong, how's it going? Any news?"

Shen Baohong couldn't wait to share the good news with Yuan Qing: "My cousin has agreed to give you an interview opportunity. Get ready and come for the interview at a time. If you pass the interview, you will be the principal of the kindergarten."

Yuan Qing said urgently, "Bao Hong, no, Brother Bao Hong, you are my great benefactor. I will prepare immediately and come for the interview tomorrow."

Finding a job is so difficult these days. If he could get an interview, he wouldn't be so anxious.

Shen Baohong agreed: "Okay, call me when you get here and I'll come pick you up."

Yuan Qing's tone was full of joy: "Brother Bao Hong, thank you so much."

Shen Baohong said, "It's alright, I hope this helps you."

……

The next morning, Yuan Qing arrived at Shen Baohong's house, but waited at the door for a long time without seeing anyone. So he called Shen Baohong: "Brother Baohong, aren't you home?"

"I'm here." Shen Baohong asked in confusion, "You've come?"

Yuan Qing looked at Shen Baohong's doorway: "I've been waiting at your door for half an hour, but I haven't seen you come out."

“I live in the villa next door. What can you see from my house?” Shen Baohong quickly dressed, came out of the villa, and called out in the direction of his house, “Yuanqing, I’m here.”

"My goodness, you're living the good life now?" Yuan Qing looked at Shen Baohong with envy. "This villa is so luxurious, is it yours?"

Shen Baohong said, "It's not mine, it belongs to my cousin. She gave me a room."

"I really envy you for having such a wonderful cousin." Yuan Qing glanced at the villa behind Shen Baohong. "If I could stay there for one night, I would be so excited."

Shen Baohong smiled and said, "Looking at you like this, why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

Yuan Qing didn't refuse and happily said, "Brother, thank you."

Shen Baohong patted Yuan Qing on the shoulder: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Yuan Qing shook her head: "No, I was planning to invite you to eat together."

Shen Baohong said, "Wait for me a moment. I haven't washed up yet. After I'm done, I'll take you to have breakfast. It'll be delicious."

Yuan Qing nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Shen Baohong led Yuan Qing into the villa, gave him a brief tour, and then led him to his room: "This is my room, isn't it beautiful?"

Yuan Qing was extremely envious: "Wow, Brother Bao Hong actually lives in a villa. No wonder he was so confident on the phone last night."

Shen Baohong said smugly, "This confidence comes from my cousin; others can't envy it."

“Yes, yes, the whole world knows you have a wonderful cousin,” Yuan Qing said. “Now I’m also going to try and benefit from your cousin’s fame.”

Shen Baohong said, "My cousin is very easy to talk to. Just be sincere and show more professionalism, and I guarantee you'll pass the interview."

Yuan Qing clenched his fist, a little nervous: "I'll try my best."

Shen Baohong said, "Sit down for a while, I'm going to wash up. It's getting late, I'll be late for work."

Yuan Qing smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
