Chapter 127: Dad’s Dragon Countenance Shows Great Joy
“Oh, actually I find the class monitor looks quite pretty when she smiles.”
Wei Zhili nearby stared at Liu Han and subconsciously spoke his mind.
This would be absolutely impossible on an ordinary day.
Inside First High School, the top students led by Liu Han were somewhat distinctly separated from the so-called school choice students like Lu Huai whose families smashed money to sponsor their entry.
One side felt the other side was merely relying on their family to live willfully, while the other side inevitably felt that no matter how good their grades were, they might end up sending resumes to their own family’s company after graduation…
Although they were polite to each other on the surface, once this subtle balance of the future was broken, no one knew what would happen.
At this moment, after Liu Han realized what this playboy second-generation kid Wei Zhili had said, her smile instantly faded, and she looked over with a cold face again.
Scaring Wei Zhili into hurriedly hiding behind Lu Huai.
In school, Wei Zhili really didn’t want to provoke Liu Han, this class monitor. Occasionally wanting to go out for a meal with his girlfriend during evening self-study still relied on Liu Han turning a blind eye.
“That’s right… when Xueyan grows up in the future, he must study hard.”
Liu Han then looked back at the obedient Xueyan in front of her, feeling a bit worried in her heart.
Could this group of people like Lu Huai bring a good influence to the little friend?
What if Xueyan grows up and develops the playboy temper of Wei Zhili, wouldn’t that be disastrous?
“NO NO NO, those words are mistaken— My younger brother’s grades are excellent, just like you Class Monitor, he is also a class monitor. No one has a higher professional title than the other haha.”
Lu Huai, however, while carefully opening snacks for Xueyan, couldn’t help but show off Xueyan’s numerous outstanding deeds in kindergarten, enumerating them as if listing his family’s valuables, being a hundred times clearer than his own affairs.
For a moment, the classmates were shocked again.
Little Pear is actually this smart and outstanding in kindergarten?!
Then the evidence that Lu Huai might be a fake brother undoubtedly gained another piece!
By the time Dad and the others rushed to the classroom door, they saw Xueyan sitting in Lu Huai’s seat, surrounded by a group of people, and the desk piled high with all sorts of weird things, almost drowning the sweet cub.
“Oh, hello Uncle!”
As soon as everyone saw a parent actually came over, they hurriedly stood up to say hello.
Lu Ting nodded slightly to acknowledge them. The aura was so strong that a group of young students subconsciously didn’t dare to speak, also feeling Lu Huai’s dad was so young and handsome, completely not looking like someone from the father generation.
So, Lu Huai’s face is inherited?
“Wait, you are Lu Li—! Heavens, it’s Pear!”
And a student in the class who had always been a fan of Lu Li almost screamed with excitement after seeing Lu Li behind Lu Ting.
“Shh…”
Lu Li quickly made a quiet gesture, and the classmates instantly understood and suppressed their excitement.
Sure enough, once Xueyan appears, the hidden members of the whole family appear along with him!
“Right, may I ask which of Old Fourth’s classmates sent Xueyan the little pastries last time? Xueyan asked Eldest Brother to help prepare a return gift, and Eldest Brother arranged for us to bring it over this time.”
As soon as Lu Li said this, the whole class looked at Xu Xin standing in the furthest corner.
“It’s Xu Xin, the cheering for Xueyan this time was also proposed and organized by Xu Xin! The hand banners and stuff were all made by her taking time at night!”
Xu Xin’s good friend nearby directly pulled out the girl whose face had already flushed red with nervousness.
“Our family is very grateful for your support for Xueyan, truly thank you for your hard work.”
Lu Li smiled and handed the item over from the assistant behind him.
“It’s nothing, I, I just really like doing these things, because I felt very happy just thinking about Xueyan while preparing.”
Xu Xin never expected there to actually be a follow-up. The weight of this gift box felt heavy in her hands, not knowing what was inside.
Moreover, Lu Li is so gentle and elegant, simply giving the visual sense of a noble young master. Is this what Xueyan will become when he grows up!?
“Hey, why didn’t Eldest Brother ask me to help bring it over? Am I not a person from this class?”
Seeing this, Lu Huai was puzzled, thinking, Eldest Brother is truly strange, seeking from afar what is close at hand?
Lu Li didn’t speak, just gave Lu Huai a look that said figure it out yourself.
Fortunately, at this time, the PE teacher, who was extremely puzzled outside, finally came looking for the class:
“Wait, do you all just assume there’s no PE class now? Did I not get my class taken over today?”
“Wow, Teacher Wang, has your half-semester-long frailty and sickliness finally been cured? Sorry, today we are looking at Lu Huai’s younger brother!”
Everyone jokingly replied.
“Lu Huai’s younger brother? Let Teacher see!”
When it comes to which teacher Lu Huai pleased the most in school, it was absolutely the PE teacher Wang Chao.
Instantly energized, Lu Huai hoisted Xueyan up and showed him to the PE teacher, smugly preparing to welcome the PE teacher’s amazement and praise. Xueyan, held up in his brother’s hands, locked eyes with the PE teacher:
“Hello Teacher?”
“Eh! [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Hello hello, how come he looks exactly like that pile of little dolls my daughter bought! Except it’s a bit strange, he doesn’t look like Lu Huai either…”
As a result, while PE Teacher Wang Chao widened his eyes, he rubbed his chin and was about to say that classic line.
“Enough Teacher, no more talking, let’s hurry up and go to class.”
The next second, he was grabbed by an expressionless Lu Huai and walked out of the classroom door.
Despicable, why are the evaluations Lu Li gets always sweeter than mine!? Could it be Xueyan looks more like Lu Li and not like me!? In short, it’s all Old Dad’s fault—why didn’t he give birth to me looking a bit more like Xueyan?
Lu Ting: ?
Old Dad Lu Ting was inexplicably glared at furiously for a long time by Old Fourth before he left, thinking, this brat is truly rebelling against the heavens.
While the whole class laughed uncontrollably, they also had to reluctantly start waving goodbye to Xueyan, Lu Li, and the others:
“Come find us to play next time there’s a school activity day oh Xueyan—!”
“Yes yes, next time you can also bring your homework, let the older brothers and sisters help you do your homework oh hehe.”
“Wei Zhili, what nonsense are you talking about again! Could the homework you help write even pass?”
After everyone left bustlingly, Dad finally found a little hand banner merchandise among the pile of things on Old Fourth’s desk with extreme novelty:
“Oh? [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Is this drawing our sweet cub?”
Seeing this kind of fan merchandise product for the first time, Lu Ting found it extremely novel.
“Mm, a very thoughtful fan cheering prop.”
Lu Li, holding Xueyan’s hand, lowered his eyes and looked at it, also revealing a smile.
“The students in Old Fourth’s class are all very good, truly worthy of being energetic young people.”
Lu Ting felt happy looking at these good students of First High School, my sweet cub will definitely be this outstanding in the future. Not only good at studying, but also having rich extracurricular activities!
And as Teacher Ding Jiaying, who had been waiting at the competition venue with excitement and anxiety, finally waited for the last contestant’s score to come out, she called with extreme happiness:
“Parent Lu Ting, all the scores are out! Gold Award—!! Please quickly have Xueyan come back to receive the award!”
Hearing Teacher Ding’s voice over the phone, Xueyan’s eyes widened instantly.
Is it really a Gold Award?
“Oh my, it really is a Gold Award! How is our sweet cub so amazing? Getting an award in the first competition in kindergarten, even more amazing than Papa back in the day!”
Lu Ting showed great joy on his face, directly and instinctively picking up his sweet cub and making Xueyan laugh.
Seeing this, Lu Li also smiled. While sending messages to inform Eldest Brother and the others of this good news, he thought to himself that perhaps Dad didn’t realize it, but actually the person in the whole family whose temper and personality were closest to Dad’s was Lu Huai.
This action of picking him up and wanting to toss him into the air is exactly the same.
“Meow…?”
And Charlie, who had just spun under Lu Huai’s desk for a long time, sniffing Xueyan’s scent and amusing himself by digging out a pile of things, also meowed, and hurriedly followed.
“The little contestant coming on stage next to receive the award is the winner of the Gold Award this time—Little Friend Lu Xueyan recommended by Princeton Kindergarten!”
With the host’s enthusiastic announcement, the passionate music mixed with enthusiastic applause filled the venue, and everyone looked expectantly towards the stage entrance.
Even the other little friends on stage holding their certificates couldn’t help but look over.
The slightly nervous Xueyan was patted on the shoulder by his brother behind him. After being signaled not to be nervous, he pursed his lips and obediently took his short steps, happily running onto the stage to receive the award.
Truly holding this golden certificate of merit, Xueyan raised the certificate and smiled towards the audience.
“Let us congratulate the little contestants who won awards this time—!”
The host smiled and looked at the audience and the judges’ panel. Confetti cannons sounded, and fluttering colorful ribbons drifted down all over the venue.
This made Xueyan instinctively look up at the sparkling colorful ribbons.
The last colorful ribbons were Third Brother’s colorful ribbons, I even picked up a few pieces and put them in my picture book. Now I also have my own colorful ribbons, I can put them together with Brother’s!
Lan Ying, occupying a natural advantageous camera position in the judges’ panel, crazily captured this moment of the colorful ribbons falling, falling short only of high-fiving in admiration while shooting divine photos.
The little guy’s smiling appearance is completely cute to the point of exploding, the emotional value of raising a cub is maxed out right here.
I don’t dare to imagine what kind of good life that large Lu family lives on a daily basis!
She was so excited that a few judge teachers nearby thought there was a cub from this special guest judge’s family on stage.
“No, no, no, it’s just because my son doesn’t like to smile and has a relatively serious personality. That’s why I particularly like this kind of smiling little guy, isn’t everyone the same?”
Seeing this, Lan Ying hurriedly explained.
This made everyone go “Oh…” and nod, thinking human nature!
Then the question is, such an outstanding little friend, how exactly did his family raise him!?
“Are you asking how our family usually educates to be able to cultivate such an outstanding little friend?”
And Dad Lu Ting, who was currently accepting interviews as a contestant parent, repeated the reporter’s question with a smug face.
“Yes, yes, the parents present today are all quite eager to know what educational insights you have. After all, the little friend’s stage presence was too stable!”
The reporters were also quite supportive, the compliments never stopping.
“Haha, unfortunately there’s completely no need to cultivate. My sweet cub has been incredibly obedient and smart since birth, and loved reading books as soon as he went to kindergarten! We as parents, of course, just respect the little guy’s nature…”
Lu Ting’s seemingly humble but actually wildly showing off appearance abruptly made the eloquent reporters almost unable to continue the conversation.
If this parent dad weren’t so handsome, broadcasting this would probably get him beaten up!
While Xueyan, who was happily carried off the stage by his brother, actually didn’t notice the little friend behind him who got the silver award, who originally wanted to muster the courage to call out to him.
If Xueyan had seen, he would have discovered that he had once seen him in the airport waiting room. At that time, this little friend didn’t have parents accompanying him, but was followed by several nannies and a butler.
“Young Master Lance, Madam’s car has already arrived to pick you up.”
It was just that the nanny nearby called Lance again, signaling it was time to go home.
Lance looked at Xueyan, who had already disappeared into the crowd, and finally nodded.
And this Madam Eileen was impressively the important partner that Eldest Brother once personally received and fought for.
【Beep— Triggered important side character in the original book, successfully changed the Lu family’s business development node X1】
A system notification sound rang out in the noisy venue, and was quickly drowned out.
The impact of Xueyan’s little host competition was clearly far more than this.
First, when Xueyan returned to kindergarten the next day, he directly became the little star collectively watched by the entire kindergarten. Even the older class cubs tried to take a look at this Gold Award Lu Xueyan.
At the same time, Old Dad Lu Ting’s parent interview also unprecedentedly made it onto the education section of the local S City newspaper.
【When our reporter interviewed Mr. Lu, the parent of the Gold Award winner this time, we learned that family education has played a profound impact on the growth of comprehensive abilities of young children.】
【Mr. Lu stated that his educational policy of “governing by doing nothing and following nature” is an important factor in cultivating the little friend’s comprehensive abilities…】
When Lu Li read this newspaper at breakfast, a subtle smile surfaced on his face.
To think that reporter could summarize this kind of educational insight from Dad’s pile of show-off remarks, it was truly quite difficult.
And Lu Ting, this grand villain, naturally had appeared in many business magazines and business news sections before, but to be the headline in the education industry section was truly an unprecedented first!
“Chairman, this is a great joyous occasion! Look, how many entrepreneurs in all of S City can make it to the headline of the education section? Shouldn’t this make those arrogant guys take a good look?”
Uncle Zhang was even more overjoyed, feeling that being on the newspaper was a matter of bringing honor to the ancestors, not to mention it was because Young Master Xueyan won a gold award in a competition.
As soon as Uncle Zhang spoke, a group of executives holding a morning regular meeting nearby started blowing it up extravagantly with extreme perceptiveness. Regardless of whether it was a kindergarten gold award or not, they could make it sound like the Nobel Prize.
Old Dad Lu Ting sitting in the main seat looked calm and indifferent on the surface, but his heart had actually been setting off fireworks for quite a while.
“Well said, this joyous occasion of the sweet cub’s truly deserves to be shared.”
It wasn’t until he heard the whole venue almost praise him dry that Lu Ting slowly spoke up.
“Have someone buy more of this newspaper, place them on the magazine racks in the pantries and break rooms throughout the entire company, and then frame a large one for my office. Also, today, everyone in the company, uniformly issue a commencement red envelope—!”
With Lu Ting’s dragon countenance showing great joy, the atmosphere in the entire company was even more like Chinese New Year.
Although the Lu family had a terrifying reputation in the industry, and their behavior and style were indeed quite domineering and tyrannical, solely on the item of giving out money, they truly disdained just giving out small amounts, but solidly handed out large sums. The high pressure, high welfare, and high treatment of the Lu Group were famous throughout the industry!
Even Luo Yan, who arrived at the company early in the morning, received a commencement red envelope. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Weighing it in his hand, Heavens, a red envelope directly containing five thousand yuan?
Knowing that I’m just a newcomer who hasn’t been employed long, wouldn’t the supervisors and others get even more? I don’t dare to imagine.
“Hehe, just take this money. Even the cleaning aunties received it, didn’t you notice the bathrooms are almost mopped to a polish by the happy aunties today?”
The colleagues nearby patted Luo Yan’s shoulder. May I ask who in this world wouldn’t be happy receiving money out of nowhere?
“Now everyone is already wishing this little young master Lu would get a few more gold awards, it’s best if he grows up a bit more and takes scholarships left and right!”
The colleague excitedly clenched his fists in anticipation, wishing he could personally go take exams for this little young master.
“Maybe it really is possible…”
Luo Yan murmured, because Xueyan was truly very outstanding!
And Simmons naturally also saw this newspaper, but unfortunately the photos of the toddler group in the newspaper only had the group photo from the competition venue, plus the quality of black and white ink printing, the little friend’s face couldn’t be seen clearly in the slightest.
“Wasting heavenly treasures—Wasting heavenly treasures! Don’t they know to give a few more shots so I can go claim the clothes!”
Simmons wished Xueyan could make headline news wearing the clothes he personally designed, and then he would drive the official account the next second to personally share and claim it.
“…You should rest a bit, this official account isn’t something you alone have the final say over.”
Steve poured some cold water on Simmons.
If the official account were given to Simmons to manage, I’m afraid it would directly become the outbreak site of a world war in the fashion world.
Claiming the first wear by a star isn’t even that simple, let alone a little friend?
“This is the latest proposal for the newly added charity auction at tonight’s new product release banquet. Please review it. If confirmed correct, it’s finalized like this, Director Simmons.”
After speaking, Steve handed the proposal materials in his hand to Simmons.
Because the quota for these ten raincoats truly couldn’t be distributed, and no matter which side it was given to, it would inevitably severely offend the other major clients.
Additionally, this haute couture raincoat was originally a limited extra purchase added to this season’s new products. After overnight discussions by the marketing planning department, Masis finally urgently decided to use the form of a charity auction, putting them on sale as a fun easter egg during the banquet.
All proceeds from the raincoat auction would be donated to world early childhood education foundations, assisting the development of public welfare in early childhood education.
Wouldn’t this satisfy all parties? It could even be considered a meritorious deed!
