Chapter 237
Several months passed in the blink of an eye. As the new year turned, this spring was incredibly important for everyone at Starry Sky Kindergarten.0
Lin Zhi was being sent off to start middle school, while Mu Zhixing was beginning first grade in elementary school.0
The Starry Sky Kindergarten Second Branch was about to open. The construction had been completed for quite some time, and the building had been left vacant long enough for any odors to dissipate.0
Internet users were speculating that enrollment would begin soon.0
Every day, the comment sections and private messages were flooded with inquiries about when enrollment would start.0
These were all locals, who had access to more information.0
Some well-informed individuals already knew that Starry Sky Kindergarten had hired a batch of new teachers at the end of the previous year.0
This was clearly in preparation for the second branch.0
After more than a year, Starry Sky Kindergarten had undergone a glamorous transformation.0
Originally, their enrollment process was conducted quietly, and this time they didn't poach teachers from other institutions on a large scale.0
The list of teachers was provided by the system.0
Shen Wei had even spent 10,000 points for this.0
She suddenly realized that the system's previous generosity was merely new user protection.0
Now, the rate at which points increased had slowed down. She was earning a few hundred to a thousand points daily.0
But the points were incredibly valuable. These teachers were all certified by the system as having excellent character and abilities.0
Initially, not many people knew about this.0
However, somehow, a post from several months ago on an art forum was dug up again.0
At first, it had only caused a stir within the small circle of artists.0
Now, it had spread far beyond that community.0
It had reached a point where even casual fans were shocked.0
"Their art teachers are university professors, and several of them are honorary vice-chairmen of various art associations."0
These people would typically use such titles as selling points when collaborating with artists.0
But Starry Sky Kindergarten hadn't advertised this at all.0
It was an attentive netizen who traced the information back to the art forum and reposted it online.0
"Good heavens, the teachers at Starry Sky Kindergarten are terrifyingly impressive!"0
"I was a casual fan of Starry Sky, but now I'm turning into a die-hard fan. How can I enroll in this kindergarten? It's urgent."0
"I'd like to ask, what's the college entrance exam score requirement for Starry Sky Kindergarten? I'm currently in my second year of high school and plan to apply it as my first choice." This comment received over 10,000 replies and surpassed 500,000 likes.0
Everyone else was stunned.0
What exactly was Starry Sky Kindergarten up to?0
Those who had tried to copy Shen Wei's approach by throwing money at the problem, hoping to replicate Starry Sky Kindergarten's success, had all been crushed to dust.0
Now, seeing the trending topics, they deeply regretted their actions!0
They should have started something different instead. Where could they possibly find so many excellent teachers?0
During the recent New Year period, Shen Wei was incredibly busy, receiving countless invitations to various gatherings.0
Everyone insisted on her attendance.0
Whenever she showed up, she would be immediately surrounded.0
Usually, it was people with children.0
Previously, when the Liu Family's third young master sent his child there, everyone thought it was a joke.0
They speculated about family feuds, but now they realized how truly impressive it was.0
He had gotten in before Starry Sky Kindergarten became famous, and now his child was thriving there in every aspect.0
Coupled with the teaching capabilities at Starry Sky Kindergarten, it was truly enviable.0
Wealthy families placed great importance on nurturing the next generation.0
Many began elite education from as young as a few years old.0
Some started later, but no later than elementary school.0
In recent years, they had adopted the foreign approach of hiring private tutors. Sending children to kindergarten was considered somewhat beneath them.0
But now, their perspective had changed.0
In kindergarten, children could interact with more peers their age, developing more outgoing and cheerful personalities.0
Moreover, children could learn to manage relationships with others.0
They were already from wealthy families.0
How else could so many out-of-touch romantics emerge?0
They had too little exposure to different people.0
Influenced by various media, they easily became stubborn. Letting children interact with diverse groups was the best approach.0
Now, everyone was clamoring for a spot at Starry Sky Kindergarten.0
Shen Wei had instantly become a top influencer among the wealthy second generation.0
Other rich kids looked at Shen Wei with utmost admiration.0
At least when they looked at Shen Wei's resume, they knew they couldn't match it.0
But Shen Wei hadn't agreed to their requests for guaranteed spots.0
Mainly because it would be too eye-catching at this crucial moment.0
She just said that Starry Sky Kindergarten would be enrolling soon, and told them to keep an eye out for announcements.0
If news of pre-arranged spots got out now,0
it would hurt many loyal fans of Starry Sky.0
Many parent fans had discovered Starry Sky Kindergarten as a hidden gem from the first recruitment.0
Some had even started teaching their children various skills half a year in advance, just to perform better in the interviews.0
These people didn't mind.0
But one by one, they went to buy houses in the new district.0
This had the real estate agents in the new district laughing with joy.0
Previously, no one had shown interest in the new district, but now it was showing signs of becoming a hot property market.0
Who could have imagined that a kindergarten would bring about such a big change?
0If someone had said this in the past, he would have scoffed at them. But now, he couldn't wait to elevate Starry Sky Kindergarten to the highest pedestal.0
How could it be called just an internet-famous kindergarten?0
It was a veritable cash cow.0
Even the young man who had initially proposed bringing Starry Sky Kindergarten to the new district had received a promotion and a raise.0
This shows what a beautiful turnaround this move was for the entire new district's development.0
Almost everyone was busy with the enrollment issues of Starry Sky Kindergarten.0
They needed to ensure smooth enrollment while also maintaining normal classes for the current students without disruption.0
Other core members, like Liu Chef, had been pulling strings and had already found twenty to thirty renowned chefs to lead the kitchen.0
After all, Starry Sky Kindergarten first gained fame for its food.0
The last time Starry Sky Kindergarten went viral, it was because they provided boxed meals.0
Everyone was showing them off on social media.0
For a while, these boxed meals dominated the internet, with many people curious about how delicious they must be to receive such praise.0
Moreover, the kindergarten's daily menu for the children was published online.0
The menu never repeated in a day.0
Initially, the boxed meals were just a temporary measure.0
They didn't expect it to become so popular.0
This time, boxed meals were a must. So they needed more manpower.0
Liu Chef had already requested 100 kitchen assistants from the agency.0
But he still felt it wasn't enough, as they didn't know how many people would apply this time.0
It was said that people from other provinces were coming to apply.0
Liu Chef approached Shen Wei to express his concerns.0
Shen Wei said, "If we don't have enough people, we'll hire another 100."0
Liu Chef said, "I'm worried that with too many people, it will be hard to manage."0
Liu Chef had previously managed at most a few dozen people.0
Now, hearing that he would have to coordinate two to three hundred people simultaneously,0
He had no experience in this area and was very anxious.0
He hadn't slept well for several days, and his previously chubby cheeks had thinned noticeably.0
Shen Wei said, "I believe you can do it."0
As for Liu Chef's concern about some people slacking off, Shen Wei directly said, "We've installed 360-degree cameras with no blind spots over there. If any problems occur, we'll be alerted immediately."0
The 360-degree live streaming cameras Shen Wei mentioned were actually the system.0
Of course, using the system wasn't without cost - 1000 points per day.0
Originally, she had painstakingly saved up to 70,000 points, used 10,000, leaving 60,000. This enrollment period was expected to last 10 days, which would leave her with only 50,000 points.0
But she wasn't thinking about points now, her main concern was anxiety over this situation.0
Moreover, the level of attention they were receiving was simply too high.0
