Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 200 - 186: Then How Would You Like Us to Make Amends?

Chapter 200: Chapter 186: Then How Would You Like Us to Make Amends?

Third floor of Dorami Kindergarten office building.

Liu Suyu, yearning to take a breath of fresh outdoor air, elegantly stepped out of her office and charmingly paused in the corridor.

Her hands gently crossed in front of her chest, which accentuated the glowing spring beauty before her.

The snow-white skin appeared even more delicate and smooth under the sunlight, emitting a soft sheen.

This scene stirred one’s imagination.

At this moment, she tilted her head slightly.

Letting the cool air circulate through her nose, dispelling the stuffiness of the office.

However.

This tranquility did not last long.

A rush of footsteps echoed near her ears.

She glanced sideways...

Only to see Director Liang Yinqiu stepping out of her office with a grave expression; her brows tightly furrowed, eyes carrying an indescribable urgency.

Hmm, did something big happen?

She immediately gleaned some clues from Liang Yinqiu’s expression.

She rushed forward and concernedly asked, "Director Liang, where are you rushing off to like this? Did something happen?"

"There is indeed a sudden situation." Liang Yinqiu paused and, seeing it was Liu Suyu, briefly replied, "A lot of parents have come over."

"A lot of parents? What are so many parents coming here for?" Liu Suyu asked puzzledly.

"It’s about the ’Canteen Open Day Event’. The parents are a bit dissatisfied with the arrangements, and they’re quite agitated now. It’s hard to explain in a few words. If you’re free, Manager Liu, why don’t you come with me and have a look?"

As Liang Yinqiu spoke, her feet didn’t stop, and she immediately headed towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Liu Suyu didn’t think much and followed along, "Alright, Director Liang, I’ll go with you now."

The two of them, one after the other, briskly headed towards the indoor activity room on the first floor.

...

At the gate of Dorami Kindergarten.

Parents gathered in bustling groups, their faces written with urgent anticipation.

Uncle Li held a remote control, stood before them, cleared his throat, and loudly conveyed Director Liang’s instructions: "Dear parents, Director Liang has arranged for everyone to wait in the indoor activity room on the first floor. She will meet with everyone there and address your questions."

"However, it’s class time for the kids now, so we hope all parents can maintain silence as you enter the kindergarten to avoid disturbing them. Also, please enter the kindergarten in an orderly fashion, heading to the indoor activity room as directed by each class."

As soon as his words landed.

He immediately pressed a button on the remote control.

With a soft "click", the sliding gate slowly opened, emitting a faint sound of mechanics...

Under Uncle Li’s careful guidance, parents from each class entered the kindergarten in an orderly manner, heading towards the indoor activity room on the first floor.

At the same time.

Just as Wan Wenxia returned the food trays to the kitchen and was preparing to head back to the classroom, she noticed a large influx of parents into the kindergarten.

Filled with curiosity, she turned her head to ask Zeng Qiaoxian beside her, "Sister Zeng, is there any activity planned at the kindergarten this afternoon? Why did so many parents suddenly come?"

Zeng Qiaoxian also looked puzzled and shook her head, "I haven’t heard of any activity at the kindergarten this afternoon. Besides, we just held the ’Canteen Open Day Event’ in the morning."

"These parents are here because they’re unhappy about the predetermined spots for the ’Canteen Open Day Event’, and they’ve come together to express their concerns to Director Liang..."

Uncle Li, having just finished guiding the parents and heading back to his guardroom, overheard their conversation and interjected.

Upon hearing the reason, Wan Wenxia couldn’t help but show a surprised expression, "What? These parents are here because of the ’Canteen Open Day Event’? But the event is over; even if they come to voice their grievances now, we can’t turn back time and do it over again!"

"Indeed, in previous years, parents didn’t seem to care much about the predetermined spots for the ’Canteen Open Day Event’. Even if they found out about it later, none were dissatisfied! What’s happening this year? Why have these parents collectively come to the kindergarten demanding an explanation?" Zeng Qiaoxian also looked puzzled, showing a slightly helpless expression.

"Perhaps it’s because there was no Chef Huang in previous years, so parents didn’t pay special attention. This year, with Chef Huang’s addition, parents might have higher expectations for the event!" Uncle Li insightfully remarked.

Indeed!

Uncle Li’s words were quite insightful!

Wan Wenxia and Zeng Qiaoxian both felt that Uncle Li made sense, believing that these parents were likely disgruntled because they couldn’t taste the food cooked by Huang Jun.

After all, these parents had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to experience Chef Huang’s legendary culinary skills firsthand during the ’Canteen Open Day Event’ and savor the famed delicacies.

Now, with their hopes dashed, it’s natural for them to feel a bit upset.

Even if the slots weren’t predetermined, there was no guarantee that this opportunity would go to them as they wished. However, being directly ignored compared to not being chosen feel entirely different.

Not being chosen at least allows for the possibility of fairness; but being directly ignored makes them feel as if their expectations and enthusiasm were easily dismissed by the kindergarten...

Thus.

It’s understandable that they find it hard to accept and want to come to the kindergarten to express their dissatisfaction!

Wang Wenxia and Zeng Qiaoxian, while understanding the parents’ feelings, were also a bit worried.

Worried that Director Liang would have a lot on her mind because of this~

"What do you think, how will Director Liang choose to calm the storm this time?" Zeng Qiaoxian couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Wang Wenxia frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied, "Director Liang always handles things prudently. She will definitely first understand the parents’ demands and dissatisfaction deeply, then look for a solution that can satisfy the parents and also uphold the kindergarten’s reputation."

"Then what do you think the specific solution will be?" Zeng Qiaoxian followed up.

"How would I know... I’m not Director Liang’s tapeworm..." Wang Wenxia said with a laugh.

Zeng Qiaoxian: "..."

As she spoke so reasonably, Zeng felt speechless and couldn’t refute!

"Why don’t we go to the activity room and listen now? Anyway, it’s still early before dismissal, and we have no other plans."

"Eavesdropping? Isn’t that not right?"

Wang Wenxia frowned slightly, a bit worried.

"Oh dear, who said eavesdropping?" Zeng Qiaoxian retorted with a sly glint in her eyes, "We’re going to the activity room to understand the situation, maybe we can even help Director Liang soothe those parents’ emotions!"

Wang Wenxia, though still somewhat hesitant, couldn’t help her curiosity rise.

Wondering how Director Liang would respond to calm the storm this time!

The two shared a look and reached an unspoken understanding.

...

Parents also gradually entered the activity room. Upon seeing Liang Yinqiu, their previously slightly settled mood quickly became agitated again.

"Director Liang, how come the slots for the ’Canteen Open Day Event’ were predetermined without any notice?" Qu Qing asked with a knitted brow, slightly unhappy.

Li Xiuxian echoed, "Yes, Director Liang, we’ve eagerly anticipated participating in this event to learn about our children’s diet at the kindergarten."

"Yes, we’ve been looking forward to this event, didn’t expect it to happen quietly and conclude just like that. If it weren’t for seeing the PTA chairperson’s social media post, I wouldn’t know about this..." A parent from Class 2 wore an aggrieved look towards Liang Yinqiu like saying ’Director Liang, you’ve kept this hidden well from me.’

"..."

Parents were all voicing their dissatisfaction and confusion, and the atmosphere in the activity room suddenly became tense.

Seeing everyone’s emotions gradually rising, Liang Yinqiu quickly raised her voice and urgently said, "Parents, please stay calm, please give me some time to say a few words."

It was useless, completely useless.

At this moment, the parents’ emotions had reached a peak, no amount of words could easily calm them.

On the contrary, more and more parents began competing to express their dissatisfaction and complaints, voices rose and fell, and the scene grew increasingly chaotic.

Although what they were saying was mostly similar, all revolved around the same theme—definitely can’t just brush the issue of predetermined slots lightly aside.

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control...

Liu Suyu quickly fetched a small loudspeaker and handed it to Liang Yinqiu, while Wang Wenxia and Zeng Qiaoxian carried a stool, thoughtfully placing it in front of Liang Yinqiu.

Seeing this.

Liang Yinqiu cast them a grateful glance, then stood on the stool, holding the small loudspeaker, and said, "All parents, I know you’re all very emotional now and very unhappy about the predetermined slots for the ’Canteen Open Day Event.’ I can completely understand your feelings, and I’m deeply sorry for the trouble caused."

As soon as she finished speaking, the originally noisy parents began to gradually quiet down, all looking up towards her.

Liang Yinqiu took the opportunity to continue, "But, please believe that the kindergarten side certainly did not deliberately ignore everyone’s opinions and expectations. This incident was indeed due to oversight in our work, and we will certainly take the corresponding responsibility and do our utmost to make up for everyone’s regret."

Parents no longer interrupted her words but listened quietly.

After a slight pause, Liang Yinqiu continued, "To solve this problem, we have already started developing a new selection mechanism, and promise that in future events, the slot allocation will be more open and transparent. Additionally, we will strengthen communication and interaction with parents, making sure everyone can promptly get decisions and arrangements from the kindergarten. I know this mistake has caused trouble to everyone, but please believe, we will do our best to prevent similar situations from happening again."

At this moment, Qu Qing raised a hand to ask, "Director Liang, does this mean we just accept this result?"

Her words immediately resonated with other parents.

"Right, can’t just let it go like this, must give us a compensatory proposal."

Parents felt that if it’s just simple apologies and promises to improve, without specific compensatory measures, this storm can’t truly be calmed.

Liang Yinqiu smiled and asked, "Then what kind of compensation are you proposing?"
