Chapter 33
Shen Dajiang and his wife Bai Xue came to Starry Sky Kindergarten for the first time.
Previously, they thought that opening a kindergarten was just a trivial matter for their daughter.
They didn't pay much attention to it, but unexpectedly, the kindergarten became more and more famous. Even people in the wealthy circle were seeking a spot for their children.
The couple only then realized the strength of the kindergarten.
They couldn't wait to come and see it for themselves.
Shen Wei brought them over for a tour.
The kindergarten was well-decorated inside and out, with a very spacious area. What surprised them the most was the small vegetable garden.
It was lush and green, and they liked it at first sight.
Shen Wei said, "Are you two staying here for a couple of days?"
Shen's mother said, "Your dad is a fan of your live streams. He wants to come here to help in the future. Just arrange us in the kitchen."
Shen Wei was somewhat shocked, "Go to the kitchen?" That was Liu Chef's territory.
People who excel in any field often have a common trait: they don't allow others to mess around in their domain.
Even bosses' parents are no exception.
Shen's father said, "We just plan to make some cookies and bread, which won't clash with Liu Chef's Chinese pastries."
Worried that Shen Wei might misunderstand, he added, "You don't know, during this time, your mom and I have been at home with nothing to do, so we systematically learned about baking bread and pastries."
"We originally wanted to make them for you, but since you never come home, now it's good. We can make them for the children."
Shen's father said enthusiastically, "We'll do a live stream when the time comes."
Most people shy away from the camera, feeling that broadcasting themselves is not good. But Shen's father went against the norm. He was afraid that if he didn't livestream, Shen Wei wouldn't actively seek him out.
Shen Wei said, "Let me discuss with Liu Chef and see where we can put the equipment for you to bake bread. Although you're my father, you can't mess around in the kitchen."
"That's for sure," Shen's father promised, patting his chest.
Shen Wei specifically talked to Liu Chef about it, and Liu Chef said it was fine.
Since her dad was eager to show himself, Shen Wei planned to do a separate livestream for him to bake bread.
Nowadays, her daily livestream data is very good. Without artificially boosting her rankings, she can make it to the top three on the popularity list of the livestreaming website.
Starry Sky Kindergarten usually livestreams in the morning.
Many people are at work or school during the day, so it's surprising that they can gather over 100,000 online viewers. It's almost becoming a model in the livestreaming industry.
When Shen's father heard that Shen Wei arranged a special session for him, he immediately said, "You can rest assured, I definitely won't embarrass you!" There was a sense of eager anticipation in his eyes.
Although their family is wealthy, they are not considered anything special in front of real magnates.
In the past, they used to enthusiastically attend various high society banquets. But each time, they were overshadowed by so-called magnates. Over time, it felt like they were just a control group, and no one liked being constantly looked down upon.
Gradually, they stopped attending.
Shen's father and mother raise fish and flowers at home, and later they also thought about making some bread and pastries. They occasionally post on social media, but rarely get any likes.
They've never engaged in such a big platform before, so Shen's father is extremely excited.
He also wants to do something significant, to show everyone that he's not worthless.
Shen Wei understood her father's feelings, so she agreed.
The kitchen was originally spacious, but with Shen's father around, Shen Wei completely knocked down the wall next to the kitchen.
It was specifically for storing his ovens, stoves, dough kneaders, and other equipment.
The staff at the kindergarten all knew they were Shen Wei's parents and treated them very kindly.
The respect they didn't feel outside, they felt it here.
And all they heard were praises for Shen Wei.
The staff said that despite her young age, Shen Wei was responsible and had ideas. The recent fuss, she managed to resolve it successfully, which showed extraordinary capability.
Shen's father couldn't stop smiling.
They treated their only daughter like a treasure.
Before, they had always heard about those so-called heiress of wealthy families studying abroad one day and handling company affairs the next.
It sounded like they were very capable, but in reality, it was all just a facade.
Now, look at it, who in the city hasn't heard of Starry Sky Kindergarten?
Many old friends sent messages to Shen's father to congratulate him.
Those words, Shen Wei's parents found them pleasing to hear.
So, they became even more determined not to let their daughter down, thus investing hundreds of thousands in equipment and materials.
It was already half a month later when the workers finished installing everything.
Shen's father simply made a pot of small bread, and surprisingly, the bread he made was quite good.
The teachers and children at the kindergarten all said it was delicious, which boosted Shen Wei's father's confidence all of a sudden.
He was full of confidence for tomorrow's live broadcast.
Shen Wei even secretly asked Chef Liu, "How was the bread my dad made?" wanting to hear the professional's honest opinion.
Chef Liu said, "It's delicious!"
Shen Wei was somewhat surprised that her parents' little snack could actually earn Chef Liu's praise.
Chef Liu's praise was genuine.
But there was something Chef Liu didn't mention. Shen's father used flour that cost 60 yuan per pound to make the bread.
The recipe was also a classic one.
A few grams of milk, a few grams of water, a few grams of flour, following the recipe.
How could it not be delicious?
Using top-notch ingredients to make a small bread indeed felt like winning without a fight.
But it was delicious.
Very soft and sweet, anyway, the bakeries outside wouldn't use such good ingredients for them.
The next day, during the live broadcast, Shen Wei woke up and noticed that her parents' dark circles were a bit too obvious.
"Did you two not sleep last night?"
Shen's father stuttered, "We did, we went to bed early!"
But their eyes looked tired. He did lie down, but never really slept, afraid of making mistakes the next day.
Shen Wei said, "It's just a routine live broadcast, no need to take it too seriously."
Shen's father immediately got excited, "How could that be? This is my debut live broadcast!"
Then whispered on the side, "Darling, remember to turn on the beauty filter for Dad."
Shen Wei said, "You two will be moving around, so the beauty filter will fluctuate."
Shen's father said disappointedly, "Alright then." He was somewhat disappointed.
Shen Wei couldn't bear to see him disappointed, so she negotiated with the system in her mind if she could turn on a beauty filter.
The system said, "You can customize one in the designated area, but it'll cost some points."
The Starry Sky Kindergarten's live broadcast had been bustling during this time.
Points didn't increase as rapidly as they did at the beginning.
Previously, the points were part of the newbie benefits, increasing rapidly at first. Now, however, it takes 10 reputation points just to earn a single point. After saving for so many days, it's only amounted to around 50,000 to 60,000 points.
Shen Wei planned to spend her points wisely.
The current momentum of the kindergarten is a bit too overwhelming. There's always the fear of something going wrong.
Generally, she was reluctant to spend points unless absolutely necessary.
But seeing her dad invest hundreds of thousands into the kindergarten and staying up all night just to enhance his appearance, she couldn't refuse his heartfelt wish. Shen Wei then went to the customization area and opted for the full panorama beauty enhancement.
The system calculated it would only cost 500 points.
Perhaps a full mirror beauty enhancement is the simplest function for an AI that spans generations.
Shen Wei immediately arranged for it.
She then shared the good news with her dad.
Shen's father's face visibly lit up: "That's great, excellent!"
Finally, they quickly started the live broadcast.
As soon as it began, nearly 10,000 fans poured in.
They were all regulars in the live room, either children playing games or chefs preparing food in the background. There was little commentary, but everyone had grown accustomed to it.
After all, Starry Sky Kindergarten's live room is very soothing.
But today was different; as soon as they entered, they saw Shen's father's face greeting everyone on camera: "Hi, kids, hello, everyone."
For a moment, netizens were all puzzled, thinking they had entered the wrong live room.
