Chapter 335 - 311: Anti-Explosion Drill Moved Ahead
The most helpless thing in the world...
Is nothing more than when you confess honestly to the police, and they’re still suspicious of you.
Lin Weilin looked at Yue Xifeng and his silent companions, and continued to explain: "Officer, everything I’ve said is true. We just want to enter the kindergarten to have lunch, without any other intentions."
"That’s right, officer," Zhou Zhichong hurried to agree: "Today is ’Parents’ Open Day,’ and we simply wanted to have lunch with the kids."
Wei Yulong also turned anxiously to Liang Yinqiu and Yang Yuxi, pleading: "Director Liang, Miss Yang, could you please tell the officers that we’re not up to any mischief!"
They really never expected that their first attempt in life to climb over the kindergarten gate would end so badly by getting caught by the police on the spot...
It seems... they must not have checked the almanac before going out today, to be this unlucky!
But.
If they had another chance, a chance to choose again...
They... would still choose to do the same thing.
Just... more cautiously!
Liang Yinqiu heard Wei Yulong’s shout, came to her senses first, and seeing Yue Xifeng’s frowning brows, she assisted by saying: "Officer Yue, what they said should all be true. Today, our kindergarten is hosting a ’Parents Experience Day’, but due to limited manpower, we have stipulated that each child can only have one parent join for lunch in the kindergarten."
"However, there are still many parents, husband and wife both, who came wanting to taste the lunch prepared by our chef. Due to the kindergarten’s regulations, one of them couldn’t get their wish, which led to this big misunderstanding!"
Uncle Li also chimed in: "Director Liang is right, previously there were indeed many parents who couldn’t enter and lingered at the kindergarten gates, unwilling to leave."
"Some parents even tried to find excuses, like bringing things to their kids in the kindergarten, but I saw through their intentions and refused them."
"They might have thought there was no other way, which is why they chose such an extreme method as climbing over the gates."
"Though their method was inappropriate, I believe they meant no harm!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhou Zhichong to indicate he was one of these parents.
Yang Yuxi also added seriously: "Officer Yue, we can all testify that Pengpeng’s dad, Qianqian’s dad, and Chenchen’s dad are definitely not bad people—this really is just a misunderstanding."
Jiang Xinzhuo quickly added: "Yes, Officer Yue, please believe us. If you would like, you can come inside and see for yourself—other parents are having lunch with the kids in the classrooms right now."
Facing everyone’s explanations, Yue Xifeng glanced at the three parents, then scanned over Liang Yinqiu and others, motioning with his hand for everyone to be quiet.
Once everyone quieted down, he spoke: "Although this sounds a bit hard to believe, since there are so many people vouching for them, I won’t pursue this matter further and won’t take them to the station. However, as part of our duties, we still need to record some related information."
After saying this, he signaled his disciple Xie Wenze and colleague Wei Zhenxin to take down the information of Lin Weilin and the others.
Then he turned to Lin Weilin and the others, saying earnestly: "All three of you are grown-ups, and your children are in kindergarten too, so you should know to weigh the pros and cons, think carefully before acting. Don’t act recklessly, as a bad record is a lifelong regret..."
Lin Weilin quickly responded: "Officer Yue, please rest assured, we have reflected deeply and promise such an incident will never happen again."
Zhou Zhichong immediately added: "Yes, officer, we truly acknowledge our mistakes, and absolutely guarantee there will not be a next time."
Wei Yulong also affirmed determinedly: "Yes, yes, yes, we assure you this won’t happen again!"
Yue Xifeng raised an eyebrow and sternly questioned: "Hmm? You’re still thinking there will be a next time?"
"Absolutely not!" Lin Weilin and the other two quickly waved their hands.
"Alright, hurry up and complete the information registration."
Seeing their restless looks, Yue Xifeng shook his head speechlessly and then looked at Liang Yinqiu: "Director Liang, you’d better communicate properly with those parents in the kindergarten, as adults they should be more mature and steady, not giving us unnecessary work burdens.
"Just like earlier, their unauthorized climbing over the kindergarten gate could easily lead to misunderstandings, making us think they were dangerous individuals, and nearly triggered an emergency support protocol."
"I understand your intention is to enhance parents’ understanding of the kindergarten through ’Cafeteria Open Day’, ’Parents Experience Day’, activities which are certainly commendable."
"But given today’s situation, I suggest that when hosting similar events, you might consider having the chef ensure the food is nutritious while possibly reducing its tastiness a bit, just make it slightly less delicious, so as to lower parents’ high expectations for the kindergarten food, to avoid similar misunderstandings and conflicts."
Yue Xifeng and the three officers were indeed a bit taken aback by Dorami Kindergarten...
Last time it was for food, gathering at the gate; this time again for food, parents climbed over the gate...
If something really happens, it would be such a hassle.
Not only for him, the whole station would face the hassle too.
Therefore.
To prevent any further issues, they had to suggest reducing the number of activities held in the kindergarten, even suggesting making the kindergarten chef intentionally make the food less tasty.
Sigh!
They always have a nagging feeling that as long as the kindergarten chef is still on the job, parents will keep doing more outrageous things.
But hopefully this feeling is just an illusion...
Hearing Yue Xifeng’s suggestion, Liang Yinqiu was momentarily stunned.
Can Officer Yue really think of that, suggesting she host fewer food-related events, even making her chef intentionally make the food less tasty...
If the kids find out about this, they might cry just to show you...
However, since Yue Xifeng spoke, she can only agree and promise Yue Xifeng: "Rest assured, Officer Yue, such matters, I guarantee, will not happen again."
Seeing Liang Yinqiu’s sincere attitude, Yue Xifeng couldn’t bear to criticize any further and could only sigh helplessly.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Director Liang, the violence drill at Dorami Kindergarten was originally scheduled to take place after the 15th, but given the current circumstances, we’ve decided to move it up."
"We expect to send personnel to your kindergarten for the drill tomorrow or the day after."
Although Liang Yinqiu was somewhat prepared for the drill, she was slightly surprised by the specific arrangements. However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded in agreement, "Oh, alright, we’ll fully cooperate."
Yue Xifeng then reminded, "During the exercise, there might be reporters tracking and filming. As to which kindergartens will be reported by TV stations, that’s beyond our control."
Liang Yinqiu immediately understood Yue Xifeng’s underlying meaning and replied with a smile, "Thank you very much for informing us in advance, Officer Yue. We will make thorough preparations."
Seeing that Liang Yinqiu had already understood his point, Yue Xifeng didn’t linger further, "Alright, the matter is resolved, and even the time for the drill is roughly set, so we’ll take our leave now."
Liang Yinqiu responded politely, "Alright, thank you to the three officers for your hard work! If there’s a chance in the future, you’re welcome to come to our kindergarten to taste our chef’s cooking."
"Sure, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely come," Yue Xifeng replied with a smile, taking a deep breath, enchanted by the fragrant aroma in the air.
This aroma, it’s just so alluring...
Really, if it smells this good, it must taste incredible, right?!
Absolutely!
If it weren’t for this police uniform on them, they would have loved to taste the lunch that even made parents scale the gates just to try. How delicious must it be...
For now, they could only bury this longing deep in their hearts as they turned away from this fragrant place.
Watching the three police officers gradually walk away, Liang Yinqiu turned around, facing those parents still wearing expressions of anxiety and embarrassment. She sighed helplessly and then calmly said, "Alright, the issue has been properly addressed. I hope everyone truly learns from this incident and refrains from any further outrageous actions."
With an awkward smile, they hurriedly responded, "Director Liang, rest assured, we won’t make the same mistake again."
Liang Yinqiu looked at them, pondered for a moment, and then smiled as she issued an invitation, "Since you’re all here, don’t just stand outside. Please follow me into the kindergarten and try Chef Huang’s special pot-roasted noodles. See how they taste!"
These words fell upon Lin Weilin and the other parents’ ears, causing their eyes to widen in shock and disbelief, momentarily questioning if they had heard wrong.
They were stunned.
Momentarily unsure of what to do.
Unsure whether they should go in or not!
The main thing was feeling too embarrassed to go in, having no face to face their spouses, kids, and Huang Jun...
Liang Yinqiu immediately perceived their thoughts and said with a smile, "Other parents are already eating in the classroom. Are you sure you don’t want to come in?"
Now then.
Lin Weilin and the other parents...
How could they not be tempted?
How could they resist?
If they don’t get to eat this lunch, wouldn’t they have been caught in vain by the police then? Wouldn’t they have been embarrassed for nothing?
"Thank you for your invitation, Director Liang," Lin Weilin and the other parents immediately responded, "then we won’t stand on ceremony."
Saying so, they swiftly followed in.
Afraid that if they walked too slowly, they might get shut out.
They never expected to be able to walk into the kindergarten openly to eat lunch.
Though the whole process was perilous and embarrassing, the outcome was good, and their wish was ultimately fulfilled...
It’s really great!
At this moment...
Liu Shiwei and Dong Yuantao rushed over and saw Liang Yinqiu and a group of parents standing at the kindergarten gate, including familiar faces like Lin Weilin and Wei Yulong. They immediately recognized each other and felt puzzled.
Why were these two parents here too?
Thus...
They couldn’t resist stepping forward to ask about it.
Asking wasn’t crucial!
Once they did, they were thoroughly surprised!
They truly didn’t expect...
These three parents would go so far as to scale the gate for Huang Jun’s lunch.
What was even more unexpected was... these parents were caught by the police on the spot and nearly invited to the police station for "tea."
But honestly speaking, if it were them, they might have done the same!
Knowing Lin Weilin and others had turned bad luck into a blessing, being warmly invited by Liang Yinqiu to enjoy lunch, Liu Shiwei and Dong Yuantao couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy...
