Chapter 429 Has anyone seen Chen Xiaoxiao?
The sun shines on the playground of Hong Fujin Kindergarten, covering this small world with a layer of golden gauze.
The kindergarten was bustling with activity. The New Year had just passed, and the children’s laughter and joy were intertwined together, as if it were a cheerful piece of music.
The sound of gongs and drums was deafening. The campus seemed to be crowded with people, and was full of vitality everywhere.
The brave children tied safety ropes and competed with each other on the climbing wall. Their small bodies seemed to contain endless strength, and every climb upward was accompanied by the cheers of their companions.
Pang Hu stood aside, his eyes full of loneliness. Once upon a time, he could play in this campus without any scruples, but now, everything has changed.
After that court session, his grandfather's years of abuse of his position were exposed, and Pang Hu's life was turned upside down.
He is no longer the child who was surrounded by everyone. Now he is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone avoids him.
Even in this familiar kindergarten, he felt out of place.
Through news reports, Pang Hu learned that Principal Chen had also been punished for some issues and the kindergarten had also been bought out.
During the three years in kindergarten, every tree and blade of grass here carries his memories. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings for this place.
But now, he can only hide secretly behind a pine tree, watching the children playing happily, with envy in his heart.
"Hey, isn't this Fat Tiger?" A familiar voice broke Pang Hu's thoughts. He turned around and saw Wang Xinyue, Shi Lei and others walking towards him.
Pang Hu's face turned red in an instant, like a ripe tomato. He pursed his lips tightly, his teeth chattered, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
In the past, they might have had a "friendship", but now, the sarcasm in the tone was so obvious.
Wang Xinyue smiled meaningfully, and deliberately emphasized the word "brother":
"Fat Tiger, don't go! After all, we were brothers before. Now a few months later, we will all go our separate ways! Shouldn't we brothers have a good reunion?"
The ill intention in that smile made Pang Hu feel uncomfortable. He was in a dilemma, feeling embarrassed and not knowing how to respond.
At this tense moment, Jiang Shuo appeared as warm as a spring breeze.
His clear voice instantly broke the tense atmosphere: "It's so lively here, what are you going to play? Take me with you."
When they heard the voice, several people turned their heads subconsciously. When they saw Jiang Shuo, the expressions on their faces froze instantly, replaced by a look of surprise. They opened their mouths wide and shouted in unison: "Jiang Shuo!"
Jiang Shuo said with a smile: "It's me. You guys are not too young to forget me after the New Year, right?"
Shi Lei's eyes showed a trace of fear, and he asked cautiously: "What do you want to do now?"
Jiang Shuo crossed his arms over his chest, looking relaxed: "What can I do? I just saw you guys were having so much fun, and I want to be your brother, too."
Wang Xinyue said nervously: "You are not the second Pang Hu, are you?" After that, he pointed in the direction of Mu Xiaoji, who was busy entertaining the leaders in the crowd.
He continued, "I heard that your father bought the Hongfujin Kindergarten. You should be able to be fearless from now on, right?"
Jiang Shuo still smiled and patiently explained: "You guys have all these ideas in your little heads all day long.
I am who I am. To put it bluntly, I bought Hongfujin Kindergarten. I am young and have no persuasive power. The Market Supervision Bureau would never let a child like me manage a business. My father is just a figurehead. "
Pang Hu, Wang Xinyue and four or five other children widened their eyes in surprise and asked in confusion, "Is this true?"
Jiang Shuo smiled, his eyes full of sincerity: "Don't worry about whether he is real or not, we are all good friends in the future, don't think about bullying others all day long, we are all classmates.
You guys are so nice. Today I will treat you to a delicious meal in the cafeteria. We will share the good times and I will take care of the bad times. Let's go!"
Shi Lei and Wang Xinyue pulled the two timid little guys behind them, and Zhang Jie and Zhao Bing said, "Let's go eat."
Just as Pang Hu was about to take the opportunity to withdraw, Jiang Shuo was quick to grab his arm, his eyes firm, his tone warm and determined:
"Don't be afraid, Pang Hu. The school rules and regulations have been perfected. From now on, there will be no bullying or bullying here. There will only be harmony and integration."
Shi Lei and Wang Xinyue also shouted: "Fat Tiger, let's go. We are brothers. How can we play together without you?"
Pang Hu's chubby face instantly broke into a smile. He held Jiang Shuo's little hand tightly, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen, one in front and one behind.
When I came to the kitchen, I could hear the constant clanging sounds, as if it was the prelude to a lively music concert.
Jiang Shuo led everyone to sit at the dining table. A kind-looking lady in her 40s or 50s came over with a smile and said, "Children, it's not time to eat yet. Are you hungry?"
Jiang Shuo smiled politely and replied, "Mother Qi, I'll treat them to a meal. Please give them a portion of French fries, popcorn chicken, chicken legs, and hamburgers. I'll pay."
Mother Qi was a little surprised, and a little worried, and said, "Hey? You are Xiao Jiang Shuo, right? Do mom and dad know that you are treating the children to food? These things cost a lot of money!"
Jiang Shuo still insisted: "Mother Qi, just bring them up, I'll go pay. Can I use facial recognition here?"
Mother Qi smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you." After that, she turned and walked into the kitchen.
Jiang Shuo walked to the front desk. The cashier was a young and beautiful lady. When she saw Jiang Shuo, she smiled and asked, "Little boy, what do you need?"
Jiang Shuo replied politely: "Sister Yunxi, I ordered six servings of French fries, popcorn chicken, chicken legs, and hamburgers. I came to pay, plus a bucket of Coke."
Yun Xi skillfully opened the face scanning payment interface, and Jiang Shuo climbed onto the bench with difficulty and completed the face scanning payment.
Yun Xi asked curiously, "Hey, little guy, you weren't bullied by them, were you? Now the school has a new principal and new school rules. If there is any bullying, go directly to the principal."
Jiang Shuo smiled brightly, his big watery eyes sparkling as he said, "No, they are all my friends. I'll treat them to a meal to improve our relationship."
After hearing this, Yun Xi smiled brightly, revealing a pair of beautiful dimples on her cheeks. She couldn't help but praise him, "I didn't expect that you are so capable at such a young age!"
As she was talking, Qi's mother came out with a tray full of food. She carefully placed French fries, popcorn chicken, chicken legs, and hamburgers on the table.
Several people looked at Jiang Shuo excitedly and shouted, "Jiang Shuo, the food is here, come over and eat together."
Jiang Shuo responded: "Hey, here I come!"
Sister Yunxi turned around and picked up the Coke, then took a few paper cups from the counter and handed them to Jiang Shuo, asking with concern, "Little guy, can you carry it?"
Jiang Shuo smiled confidently and said, "No problem."
Seeing this, Pang Hu hurried over and said, "Jiang Shuo, let me get this."
Jiang Shuo responded politely: "Okay, thank you Huzi."
Yun Xi saw that Pang Hu was half a head taller than Jiang Shuo, and he was holding a Coke as if it was a game. Jiang Shuo was holding a paper cup, and the two of them walked towards everyone happily.
Fat Tiger walked to the dining table, opened the Coke skillfully, and poured it for everyone carefully one by one.
Jiang Shuo raised the paper cup with a warm smile on his face: "May we get along happily in the new year and new environment."
Others also raised their paper cups and said in unison: "Have fun getting along!"
Five people were in the noisy cafeteria, accompanied by the "clang" of kitchen plates colliding and the laughter of several people.
Pang Hu, Shi Lei, Wang Xinyue, Zhang Jie, Zhao Bing, and Jiang Shuo sat around the dining table by the window.
There was a large bucket of Coke on the table, and several people held paper cups and filled themselves up from time to time, while eating French fries and popcorn chicken, enjoying the delicious snacks.
Jiang Shuo held the paper cup, tilted his head back and took a big gulp of Coke. The cold liquid mixed with bubbles slid down his throat, but he didn't feel refreshed at all.
He glanced at the faces of the five people who were feasting, then turned his head and looked out the window.
The children playing in the schoolyard were having a great time with their parents. But he searched for a long time but could not find the figure he had been thinking about.
Jiang Shuo retracted his gaze and asked softly, "Has anyone of you seen Chen Xiaoxiao today?"
Pang Hu, who was chewing chicken wings, puffed his cheeks and replied incoherently, "I didn't see it."
Shi Lei stuffed popcorn into his mouth and shook his head: "I didn't see it either."
Wang Xinyue took a tissue, wiped the corner of his mouth, thought for a moment and said, "I didn't see it." Zhang Jie and Zhao Bing also hurriedly agreed, saying that they didn't see it.
At this time, Zhang Jie whispered: "I heard that Principal Chen was dismissed and investigated. Maybe Chen Xiaoxiao transferred to another school."
When everyone heard this, they fell into a brief silence and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Jiang Shuo was puzzled and said, "That's not necessary! Chen Xiaoxiao has only been with you for a few months. Is it so troublesome to transfer schools?"
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the entrance of the cafeteria, and a little girl with twin ponytails ran in hurriedly.
She ran until her face was red, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, her chest was heaving violently, and she shouted breathlessly: "Jiang Shuo, you are still eating here, Chen Xiaoxiao..."
Jiang Shuo suddenly raised his eyes to look at the person who came, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and asked anxiously: "Yue Beibei, what happened to Chen Xiaoxiao?"
Yue Beibei supported herself on her knees with both hands, panting heavily. After a while, she managed to squeeze out some words:
"She's at the school gate! We asked her to come in and play, but she said her grandma had transferred her to another school, so she was embarrassed to come in."
"Come on, take me to see it." Jiang Shuo's expression tightened, his eyes full of anxiety. He immediately put down the paper cup with half a cup of Coke left in his hand, stood up, grabbed Yue Beibei's little hand, and ran out of the cafeteria in a hurry.
Pang Hu and the others looked at each other, then stood up and quickly followed Jiang Shuo.
