The next morning, Shen Xi personally took Shuo Shuo to Qimeng.
She had originally intended to have Steward Liu send the child over, but felt that since it was the child's first day of class, it would be more reassuring to send him herself.
The class began at 9 o'clock, and the location was still within Jin Jingchen's office.
Shen Xi did not leave, as it was only an hour and a half. Instead, she sat on the sofa outside waiting for him.
When Shuo Shuo came out after class, Shen Xi noticed he was wearing a small backpack with the words "Qimeng Magic Cube" printed on it.
It had to be said that Jin Jingchen was quite adept at marketing.
"How was it? Did you have fun learning today?" Shen Xi bent down, placing her hands on Shuo Shuo's small shoulders.
"Yes. Very happy." Shuo Shuo said, taking off the backpack from his back, opening the zipper, and introducing it to Shen Xi, "Teacher Jin also gave me a magic cube book and a set of magic cubes."
Shen Xi picked up the book and looked at it. The cover was marked with "Qimeng Magic Cube Internal Use Only."
It turned out this book was compiled by them.
She couldn't help but open it and flip through it. The content was rich, and the pictures were bright and clear, surpassing any magic cube books sold in bookstores.
"Principal Jin, you are truly dedicated," Shen Xi praised, looking up at Jin Jingchen, who had been smiling all along.
Jin Jingchen said casually and gracefully, "I am this kind of person. If I don't do it, I'll do it to the extreme, to the best.
However, this book is not for just any child. Only children I personally teach can use it."
Oh? So that's how it is.
"Thank you for valuing Zi Shuo, Principal Jin." Shen Xi smiled at him, "In the future, I might not be able to bring him personally every time."
"It's alright. It doesn't matter who brings him; we treat everyone equally." Jin Jingchen looked at her with a smile, "Zi Shuo is very smart and talented. He grasps knowledge very quickly. After going home, just review what I taught today a few times."
"Okay. Thank you again!" Shen Xi, holding Shuo Shuo, bid farewell to Jin Jingchen and walked out of Qimeng.
After just a few steps, she was called to a halt by a familiar voice from behind.
"Zi Shuo's mother."
Shen Xi stopped and turned around, only to see Geng Han's mother walking towards her.
"Hello, Auntie!" Shuo Shuo politely greeted her.
"Hello!" Geng Han's mother replied with a smile.
Her gaze, however, fell upon his backpack, and she pulled Shen Xi aside in surprise.
"Is Zi Shuo already taking classes here? Did Principal Jin accept him?"
"Yes." Shen Xi then briefly explained how she contacted Principal Jin and what happened during their meeting yesterday.
"Ah? It was that easy?" Geng Han's mother looked at her with confusion, "You and Principal Jin knew each other before, didn't you?"
"How could that be? I'm meeting him for the first time," Shen Xi said, smiling and stroking her forehead.
Geng Han's mother had such a rich imagination. Did she think she had used connections?
From her few interactions with Jin Jingchen, she felt that although he appeared somewhat casual on the surface, he should be a person with strong principles deep down.
Even if someone tried to use connections, he should refuse.
After all, his magic cube institution had only been established for a few years, and it needed results.
Only with good results could it continuously attract students and thrive.
In fact, training institutions were like businesses. Wise people would not disregard everything for the sake of a moment's favor and ruin their reputation.
"Oh? I'm sorry, that was narrow-minded of me," Geng Han's mother said, realizing her words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly apologizing.
"With Principal Jin's proud personality, he would never do such a thing. It must be that Zi Shuo is so outstanding and famous that he accepted him so quickly."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Shen Xi bid her farewell.
On Wednesday evening, Shen Xi drove with the three children and Yin Zhe towards a clubhouse.
Today, they had arranged to meet Xie Yifei and Jian Fan for a meal to celebrate Shuo Shuo's magic cube championship.
This gathering was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, but then the malicious news incident occurred. It was only after the storm had passed that Xie Yifei dared to bring it up again.
When the four of them arrived at the private room booked by Xie Yifei, she and Jian Fan were already waiting for them.
Xie Han was also there.
"Little darlings, come here quickly, let Auntie Yifei have a good look at you." Xie Yifei stood up and extended her arms enthusiastically towards them.
The three children quickly ran into her embrace.
Shen Xi walked up to Xie Han, called her "Godmother," and briefly introduced Yin Zhe to her.
"Good. Yin Zhe is truly handsome," Xie Han patted her hand. "Xi Xi, you've finally found your family. Godmother is truly happy for you."
"Thank you, Godmother. You are all my family," Shen Xi's eyes couldn't help but well up with moisture.
