Chapter 614: I will not let my children learn to swallow their pride.
The business jet carrying Huang Xiaochuan and his entourage took off from Queens Airport in New York, completed a half-circle turn over New York, and flew westward.
Huang Xiaochuan sat in the spacious airline seat and glanced at the city outside the window. He had stayed in this city, which was known as both heaven and hell, for more than ninety days, which was something he hadn't expected when he came. According to the original itinerary, he planned to return after receiving the Clark Award, but Andy Bertoson had completely ruined it.
Now that the acquisition of Sun Company has been finalized, he no longer needs to handle the rest personally, so he naturally has to go back. He misses his two children and Yu Xiang.
After a long flight of more than ten hours, the Global Express landed at Hong Kong International Airport in Chek Lap Kok. It was early summer in Hong Kong, and as soon as Huang Xiaochuan got off the plane, he was enveloped by a warm, humid air with a faint smell of the sea.
At this point, customs officials came directly to the plane and processed the entry procedures for Huang Xiaochuan and his entourage.
"Dad!" A surprised voice came from not far away. Huang Xiaochuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw his precious daughter running towards him excitedly.
Huang Xiaochuan quickly squatted down and opened his arms. A small body rushed into his arms and hugged his neck tightly.
"Ouch, girl! Slow down." Huang Xiaochuan was almost knocked to the ground by Huang Ruiying.
At this moment, Huang Ruiying suddenly let go of her hands, put her two little hands on her father's shoulders, and said with a dissatisfied look, "Dad, you're finally back! You should control your wife! She's bullying me to death."
"Uh," Huang Xiaochuan thought as soon as he landed, his head felt like it was going to get bigger.
At this moment, Yu Xiang arrived with Huang Zeji. Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, Huang Zeji respectfully greeted, "Dad!"
Yu Xiang smiled at him and said softly, "You're back!"
Huang Xiaochuan stood up, walked to his son's side, bent down, and hugged him.
He then straightened up and smiled at Yu Xiang, saying, "Yes, I'm back. I missed you so much."
Yu Xiang glared at Huang Xiaochuan reproachfully: "Our son and daughter are here!"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't care about any of that. He put his arm around Yu Xiang's shoulder and said, "Let's go home!"
Seeing her parents being so affectionate, Huang Ruiying sighed in disappointment, "Oh no! It's all over!"
The convoy that came to pick them up quickly left the airport and headed towards the Huang family villa located halfway up the mountain. On the way, Huang Ruiying chattered incessantly to Huang Xiaochuan, talking about nothing more than kindergarten and home.
Yu Xiang seemed to have a huge weight lifted off her shoulders as she said to Huang Xiaochuan, "That's great, you're finally back. You'd better keep a close eye on your precious daughter, or she'll become completely unruly."
Upon hearing Yu Xiang's words, Huang Xiaochuan guessed that the mischievous little devil must have gotten into trouble again.
"What's wrong with her now?"
"Why don't you just ask your precious daughter?" Yu Xiang seemed quite annoyed by the little devil.
Huang Xiaochuan then looked at Huang Ruiying and asked, "So, what did you do this time?"
"I didn't bully anyone. Liu Bowei called me a 'Northern girl' first. I ignored him at first, but he kept chasing after me and cursing, so I hit him." The little girl looked indignant.
When Huang Xiaochuan heard that someone dared to insult his precious daughter, Bei Gu, he immediately sided with his daughter, shouting, "Good for her!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang angrily punched Huang Xiaochuan: "You just spoil her! The kindergarten principal called me and said that if this happens again, she will have to ask our daughter to leave."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when he suddenly saw the little girl looking at him expectantly. He quickly swallowed back the words he was about to say. It's better not to say certain things in front of children, otherwise they will really become unruly in the future.
The little girl attends Baoshan Kindergarten, which is known as the Harvard of kindergartens in Hong Kong. It is said that the competition for admission is extremely fierce, and the tuition is also quite expensive. However, this is not a problem for the Huang family.
But what's wrong with this kindergarten principal? She seems a bit clueless! Threatening to fire children just because they're having a fight, regardless of the reason? Does she not want to work here anymore?
After arriving home, and after Butler Liang led the two children into the house, Huang Xiaochuan said to Gao Song, "Tomorrow, could you help me investigate the composition of the board of directors of Baoshan Kindergarten, and the family background of that child named Liu Bowei?"
"Yes, Mr. Huang!" Gao Song immediately replied.
Huang Xiaochuan added, "Oh, right, and the kindergarten principal's resume as well."
"Yes, Mr. Huang!"
Huang Xiaochuan was concerned about the discriminatory language used by the children. He was certain that his son, Huang Zeji, must have also experienced such verbal discrimination, but unlike his sister, the little guy would not retaliate immediately and usually wouldn't mention it when he came back.
Moreover, the principal's attitude was ambiguous, clearly indicating that he was protecting that little boy Liu Bowei. Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan wanted Gao Song to find out about the other party's background.
Furthermore, by clarifying the composition of the kindergarten's board of directors, Huang Xiaochuan could directly talk to the person in charge and perhaps changing the principal would be a good solution.
Yu Xiang worried that this might be inappropriate: "Xiao Chuan, wouldn't this make our family seem too forceful? After all, our daughter did hit someone."
Huang Xiaochuan said, "This is not a matter of being tough. The problem now is that our daughter has been insulted. Although hitting someone is indeed wrong, I think the root of the problem lies with the child who swore and the principal who cannot uphold justice. He wants to expel her without even knowing the facts. Is this a qualified principal? And he claims to be the best kindergarten in Hong Kong?"
And my children, they can't be subjected to such mistreatment in an environment. We sent them there not to teach them to swallow their anger and suffer in silence.
After hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words, Yu Xiang also felt that they made sense, so she stopped objecting.
When the couple returned home, Huang Ruiying asked expectantly, "Dad, did you bring us any gifts?"
"Of course, I can forget anything, but how could I forget the gifts for Xiaoduo and Xiaodong?" Huang Xiaochuan looked at his children with doting eyes.
Just then, Butler Liang arranged for someone to deliver the gifts that Huang Xiaochuan had brought back to the living room.
"This is for Xiaoduo, and this is for Xiaodong," Huang Xiaochuan said, handing the gifts to his two children.
The gifts for Huang Ruiying were a Lego building set and a Barbie Dream House set, while the gifts for Huang Zeji were a telescope and a space shuttle model.
After receiving their gifts, the two little ones excitedly began to unwrap them.
Huang Xiaochuan helped his son set up the telescope, and the two of them immediately went to the yard to stargaze. When Huang Zeji saw the moon through the telescope, he couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
He immediately fell in love with the telescope.
