The person who answered was perfunctory. “What do you want with Director Weir?”

After all, there were too many people looking for Dean Wei every day. All the wealthy families lined up to see Dean Wei. Moreover, the other party sounded like a very young girl so the receptionist was even more disdainful. In the end, she heard the girl say in a flat tone, “Dean Wei previously invited me to work at the Institute of Cultural Relics Protection and Restoration. I declined at that time but have changed my mind, so I wanted to ask if he still needs help?”

The person who answered the phone was stiff for a long time. What was this person saying? Was she crazy? Did Dean Wei offer her a job? And had she rejected him?

Chu Ning thought it was a bad signal. “Did you not hear me? Hello?”

The receptionist naturally did not believe her, but she was curious, so she said, “Dean Wei is in a meeting. Leave your contact number. I’ll ask him later.”

Chu Ning had no objections. After leaving her number, she hung up. However, she thought of the two stone lions in the neighbor’s house opposite. If she were to sell them, it would definitely be a lot of money! Therefore, she looked at the courtyard house enviously again.

Once both children were awake, she took them to the nearest kindergarten.

The security guard at the door looked good, and there were a lot of children playing inside. Moreover, she had gone online and read the comments. Most importantly, the teachers were very good-looking.

Chu Ning was very satisfied and prepared to consult the school about enrollment.

She looked at her two children. “How about going to school here from now on? Do you like it?”

Xiaobao nodded. “I do.”

Dabao made a soft sound of agreement. The kindergarten in Sea River Village wasn’t so beautiful!

The security guard at the door also noticed them and sized them up. There was no jewelry and their clothes were unidentifiable. Then he couldn’t help but say, “The monthly tuition here is a hundred thousand.”

Chu Ning looked at the security guard.

When Xiaobao heard this, she held Chu Ning’s hand tightly and said obediently, “Mommy, Xiaobao doesn’t like kindergarten at all. I don’t want to go.”

This price was too expensive. If they couldn’t even eat at home, how could they go to kindergarten?

Dabao also looked at Chu Ning. “Mommy, you know that the kindergarten teachers can’t teach me.”

Chu Ning suddenly felt a little upset. Why were these three-year-old children so sensible?

The security guard didn’t stop. He said arrogantly, “This is the best kindergarten in City A. Be it aptitude or anything else, it’s top-notch. Not everyone can come to school here. Moreover, we’re a kindergarten set up by City A University. Do you know about City A University? Of all the cities in the country, only City A is named this way because City A University is here. That’s a century-old school!”

“That powerful?” Chu Ning narrowed her eyes.

The security guard looked at the mother and children in front of him who had never seen the world and mocked, “Which mountain do you come from? Don’t you know? City A University is a world-famous university. Many people want to enter! Especially the School of Cultural Relics Protection and Restoration. It has a long history. Many children of wealthy families are lining up to enter.” As he spoke, his eyes were filled with pride again. He felt proud to be able to work here.

Chu Ning couldn’t help but rub the space between her eyebrows. Was this academy so powerful? Back then, she had given up Dean Wei’s invitation for Li Jing. Her master had even advised her, but she didn’t listen. Now that she thought about it, she regretted it! Li Jing was really not worth it.

She was lost in thought when her phone rang. It was her master.

Chu Ning was very surprised that her master had pulled her from his blacklist so quickly. She picked it up and heard her master’s deep voice. “I just found out that the Institute of Cultural Relics Protection is the one where Wei Yanzhi is the dean. They’ve been working on an archeological project recently. There’s something that Dabao needs there. Do you still have the invitation?”

Chu Ning’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”

Her master said, “How surprising that you didn’t throw it away.”

Chu Ning was helpless and was about to say something when her master hung up.

Chu Ning was speechless. She didn’t even ask to borrow money. Did he have to hang up so quickly? She put away her phone and was about to ask the security guard how to get to the director’s office when she saw the security guard’s impatient expression. “Hurry up and leave! Why don’t you take a look at where you are? Is this a place where you can stand?”

Chu Ning raised her eyebrows. “Then work hard and stand here forever.”
