Chapter 90: A Day Without Discipline, and They’re Tearing the Roof Apart
Lu Beiqin replied, "It's fine."
Shen Chutang could tell at a glance that Lu Beiqin had never looked into the Oceanic Hotel, so she immediately began to explain, "This place costs over a thousand per person. Our class has twenty students, and if you invite them all, these kids are at that stage where they're growing fast and eat a lot. This meal will probably cost you a fortune!"
Lu Beiqin glanced at her. "Don't worry. Since I said I'd treat them, there won't be any problem."
Shen Chutang fell silent. She suddenly understood that perhaps this was the pride men insisted on keeping. Since he'd said so, she would make sure to urge Class Z to eat heartily and ensure the price was worth it.
Just then, Shen Chutang's phone rang—an incoming call from Liu Shuhua. She answered, and the noise on the other end was loud and excited.
"Shen Chutang, tomorrow we're hosting an entrance banquet for your brother Saisei. Remember to come."
"I have something to do tomorrow, I can't make it," Shen Chutang refused without a second thought.
It sounded like Liu Shuhua had put her phone on speaker, because Deng Meiru quickly chimed in, "This is Saisei's entrance banquet for Petersburg Noble Elementary School. Attending is a privilege for you! Tomorrow at noon, you must come, whether you want to or not!"
Petersburg Noble Elementary School?
Shen Chutang's eyes lit up slightly. "I understand. I'll be there on time."
After hanging up, Lu Beiqin looked at her. "Do you need any help?"
"No need. Some people are just asking for trouble if you don't keep them in check for a day. I'll go and stir things up a bit."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The old Madam Shen beamed as she looked at the admission notice from Petersburg Noble Elementary School.
Everyone knew how hard it was to get into that school, no matter how much money you had. No one expected the little grandson to actually pass the entrance test and receive the admission letter.
Shen Duoduo couldn't help but say, "We've got the admission letter—let's open it and take a picture for my social feed."
Deng Meiru immediately replied, "No rush. Everyone knows that the Petersburg Noble Elementary School's admission notice hides a secret when opened. The most beautiful moment must be saved for the most important day!"
Scholar Shen was just as delighted. "No one around me has gotten into Petersburg. Looks like my son is a genius!"
Old Madam Shen nodded. "Exactly. How could my grandson be anything less?"
Deng Meiru feigned concern, "Mom, Petersburg still thinks our family lives in the West Hill Villa. Now that we've finally got the admission notice, it wouldn't be good if the school accused us of deception."
Old Madam Shen waved her hand dismissively. "What are you afraid of? Shuhua just called that girl to come over tomorrow, precisely to force her to give up the house. Saisei's schooling is so important—what's the harm in her moving out for a few days?"
Deng Meiru finally felt satisfied. "Thank you, Mom."
The next day, the banquet was held right on schedule. By coincidence, the venue was the hotel where Wang Shaofen worked.
To celebrate the entrance banquet, they spared no expense, setting up ten full tables and inviting a variety of guests.
When Shen Chutang entered, she immediately spotted Wang Shaofen sitting at the bar.
She was dressed in her uniform, hair neatly pulled back into a small bun, with light makeup that gave her an energetic look.
Wang Shaofen saw Shen Chutang and immediately approached with a smile.
"Chutang."
"Sister Wang, how have you been lately?"
Wang Shaofen nodded, "Pretty well."
Here, meals and accommodation were provided, so she didn't have to worry about rent. The environment was nice, her colleagues were friendly, and the pay was good, so she was finally able to save some money in her bank account.
Shen Chutang asked, "How is Qizai's schooling coming along?"
Wang Shaofen looked troubled. "When I took Qizai for the interview, I saw the teachers gave him high marks, but so far we've received no admission letter. I don't know what went wrong."
Shen Chutang patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. Qizai's admission is assured."
Wang Shaofen's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"
"Of course." When Wang Shaofen had taken Qizai for the interview, Shen Chutang had already heard that Qizai was smarter than most and fully qualified for admission. The notice would arrive soon.
As for the young master of the Shen family, he clearly lacked experience and hadn't passed the review.
So when Deng Meiru and the others boasted about Saisei receiving the admission letter, Shen Chutang had already guessed what had happened.
Wang Shaofen relaxed a little after hearing that. "So many people are here today. I saw Madam Shen as well."
Shen Chutang nodded, "Yes."
At that moment, the door swung open and Liu Shuhua stepped out. "Waiter, bring us some lemon water."
She looked up and saw Shen Chutang and Wang Shaofen standing together.
The woman, once down and out, now looked quite presentable in her work uniform.
A hint of disdain flickered in Liu Shuhua's eyes. "You, then. Come serve our hall."
