Chapter 437:
The next morning, Le Tong and Ji Rui together took Baobao, who hadn’t been to school for several months, back to kindergarten. Along the way, Le Tong kept reminding Baobao to be careful with this and that.Surprisingly, Baobao didn’t find it annoying at all. Whatever Le Tong said, he listened seriously, nodding vigorously like a little chicken pecking at rice.
The bodyguard escorted Baobao into the school, and Le Tong anxiously clung to the iron bars of the school gate, watching the little figure fade into the distance.
Ji Rui, standing beside her, gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and comforted her, "Don’t worry, that little guy Baobao is very clever. He won’t let anything happen to him."
Maybe it’s because he’s lived in the big house for so long, the little guy has developed a strong sense of self-protection, and he knows very well how to protect himself. Even though Le Tong knows this, she still can’t help her worrying heart. Perhaps, this is an incurable common problem for all mothers in the world. No matter how big the child grows or how capable he becomes, in a mother’s eyes, he is always the little treasure that needs her careful protection.
"Hmm..."
At the corner, Baobao turned around and waved to his parents with a smile. Le Tong also waved back at him. Watching his small figure slip into the hallway, Le Tong reluctantly got into the car with Ji Rui.
In the car, Ji Rui called the finance department and instructed the finance minister to transfer the money as Yang Sheng had specified.
Unsure what the person on the other end said to Ji Rui, but after hanging up, Ji Rui stared out the window with a solemn expression, lost in thought.
Le Tong reached out her hand and placed it on the back of his hand resting on his thigh.
"Short on cash flow?" Le Tong could roughly guess the reason but found herself helpless.
Ji Rui grabbed her hand in return, turned his head, and met her worried eyes.
"It’s okay, I’ll find a way." Ji Rui gently rubbed her fingertips with his, letting her slight warmth and energy pass from her fingertips to his.
"Mm!"
Le Tong didn’t doubt him, but she felt sorry for him!
She had always thought he was a giant who couldn’t be toppled by any difficulty.
But the closer she got to him, the more she understood him, and she came to realize that she had overly deified him before. He was no different from others; everything he accomplished relied on his hands and brain.
And the reason he got extraordinary things wasn’t because he was a god, but because he put in extraordinary effort and action.
"Can you follow up on the theme park matter?"
This was something Yang Sheng had been handling. Now that Yang Sheng was not around and Ji Rui was tied up, he could only ask Le Tong for help.
"Sure, you handle your stuff."
All the way, the two talked about business almost the entire time, and when they returned to the Ji Family, they each went their separate ways to handle their affairs.
They were busy until noon when they got two meals from the canteen and ate casually. Ji Rui went out for a meeting, and Le Tong, accompanied by Xiao Li, went to the theme park.
The car drove into the theme park, where they could see busy workers setting up the site, with many streamers and colorful balloons hanging in the park, and the roadsides were planted with various exotic flowers and plants.
The last time Le Tong was here, it was still a wasteland, but now, it had undergone a tremendous transformation.
"Brother Li, will the major media be present for tomorrow’s opening ceremony?"
Le Tong had glanced over the opening ceremony’s planning proposal, but she hadn’t looked at the details closely.
"Yes, after the opening ceremony, all children can enter the park for free all day and experience the full amusement package for free. With media presence, it will achieve even better publicity results."
Upon getting out of the car, the person in charge of the entire opening ceremony site arrangement came up to greet them.
The person in charge was named Yu, a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Minister Yu, this is Miss Le, who’s in charge of overseeing the opening ceremony matters."
"Hello, Miss Le!"
After some brief greetings, Minister Yu led the two to see the opening ceremony site first.
Le Tong stood on the podium and scanned downwards, "How many people does the auditorium hold?"
"Fifteen hundred."
"Are the security personnel arranged properly?"
Looking at the interconnected entrances and exits of the auditorium, Le Tong’s first thought was that it would be easy for someone to carry out an attack here.
"In addition to our theme park’s in-house security guards, I’ve also hired thirty additional security personnel. Do you think that’s enough, Miss Le?"
Le Tong thought for a moment and turned to ask Xiao Li, "Brother Li, for a large-scale public event like the opening ceremony, can we apply for police protection from the police station?"
Xiao Li was taken aback but quickly caught on, "I’ll call Lawyer Fan and have him communicate about it."
"Good!"
Actually, if they asked Ji Rui, this matter would definitely be resolved quickly, but Le Tong didn’t want to bother Ji Rui with such issues.
Xiao Li walked aside with his phone, and shortly afterward, he came back.
"Lawyer Fan said he’ll work on it immediately."
Le Tong nodded, following Minister Yu from the podium to the audience seats, listening carefully as he explained tomorrow’s procedural steps.
About half an hour later, Lawyer Fan got back, saying that he had already talked to the local police station, and tomorrow the police would dispatch enough officers to maintain order and protect public safety.
Having solved this issue, Le Tong felt relieved and took a tour around the theme park with Minister Yu, during which she raised a bunch of requests to ensure that tomorrow’s opening ceremony could proceed smoothly.
The next day, the theme park’s opening ceremony took place as scheduled.
The audience seats were packed with a bustling crowd, and those responsible for cutting the ribbon and lighting up the event, besides Ji Rui and Le Tong, included the adorable and handsome Baobao.
Unlike his usual somber attire, today Ji Rui wore a white suit, adorned with a light blue boutonniere on his chest and matched with a tie of the same color. Le Tong, who was holding his arm, wore an off-the-shoulder dress in aqua blue that complimented Ji Rui’s boutonniere and tie, and Baobao, holding Le Tong’s other hand, was dressed in a small suit exactly like Ji Rui’s.
Standing on the podium like a prince on a white horse, Ji Rui delivered the opening speech, "Distinguished guests, thank you for coming to our park. Today is the park’s opening day, and all the children entering the park can enjoy all the park’s attractions for free. As the founder of the park, I hope every child has fun here, and as a father, I hope my precious son likes it here and has fun just like all other children. Tomorrow is my son’s sixth birthday, and as his dad, I want to wish my little treasure a happy birthday in advance right here!"
"It’s said that a child’s birthday is a day of hardship for the mother. Here, I want to thank the baby’s mommy, thank you for giving me such a lovely and smart child! Le Tong, thank you!! We love you!"
