It was six in the evening when Jiang Zhe walked into Nan Chen’s office.
“Sir Chen, the school just called and asked what time will we fetch the kids. It seems like no one picked them up yet. Everyone stayed back at the school to accompany them. Should I call Ms. Ding? Or…”
Shocked by the news, Nan Chen stood up and asked, “What? They’re still at school? Didn’t that woman say she’ll pick them up and go for dinner?”
“I’m not sure why Ms. Ding didn’t pick them up…” Jiang Zhe said softly.
“Bastard! What is that woman thinking?” Nan Chen began to see red.
He grabbed his coat and ordered, “Get the car.”
“Sir Chen, I’ll do it. You have a conference call with the client from the US in a while.”
“Cancel it!”
Nan Chen put on his coat and walked out of the office immediately.
Jiang Zhe kept quiet. He knew if he tried to persuade him to stay, Nan Chen would be even more furious.
It was peak hour and the traffic was heavy.
They were stuck in the traffic as they exited the parking lot. Ten minutes have passed, but they barely moved.
Nan Chen kept looking at the time, and his expression darkened each time he glanced at it.
“What can we do to skip all this traffic?” Nan Chen asked Jiang Zhe.
“Motorcycle,” Jiang Zhe answered softly.
Nan Chen opened the door instantly and saw an incoming electric motorcycle; he raised his hand and brought it to a halt.
“I’ll buy your bike,” Nan Chen said to the rider.
The rider was a young man. He stared at Nan Chen with a familiar look.
“You are… You are that celebrity! I’ve seen you somewhere before!” the young man responded.
“Get off,” Nan Chen’s said coldly.
“Sure. But I am not planning to sell this bike…”
Nan Chen pushed him away and got onto the bike. However, he realized that he didn’t know how to ride a bike.
“What’s the matter? I said I don’t wanna sell my bike,” the young man panicked.
“Excuse me, sir. We can negotiate on the price. How much did you buy this for?” Jiang Zhe got down from the car.
“This is an expensive model. It was over six thousand!” the young man exclaimed.
“We’ll pay eight thousand. Can you also guide my boss on how to ride?” Jiang Zhe said.
The young man was delighted. He did not expect to earn almost two thousand extra even though he had used the bike for a couple of months.
“Ah! Are you trying to experience life? Of course! I’ll guide you! Firstly, you…”
As Nan Chen was smart, he picked it up instantly.
The young man only gave him some tips, and he learned fast. Then, he took off.
All the teachers and the principal stayed back at the kindergarten. They accompanied the two kids and kept them busy.
As they were worried the kids would be anxious, the teachers tried their best to keep them entertained. They brought food and toys over. Some even danced to distract the two kids.
Erbao liked people surrounding her; she was cheerful and had forgotten if anyone would pick her up from school.
Dabao was calmer. He sat at the side and read books.
Suddenly, the security guard came and said, “There’s a delivery guy outside, but I stopped him from entering. He said he’s the parent and kept pestering us to allow him to enter.
As the principal heard this, she was taken aback. Is someone trying to hijack the kindergarten?
Once she walked out, she saw a properly dressed man at the guardhouse.
He had a frosty expression; it was uncanny because a delivery guy like him gave out an authoritative vibe and looked like someone important. The guards were asking him questions, but he did not seem to care and kept silent. From his expression, the principal could tell that he was impatient.
As the principal took a closer look, she was shocked. Isn’t that Sir Chen? Why did he become a delivery guy?
Who would afford to order the food if Sir Chen became a delivery guy?
