Morning.
Shen Qingqing got up early, dressed Xingyao in a princess dress, tidied her up beautifully, and went out holding the little girl's soft little hand.
After getting in the car, Xingyao asked blankly, "Mommy, where are we going?"
Shen Qingqing adjusted her princess dress for her. "Mommy has contacted a school for you and is taking you to school, okay?"
"Can I go to school?" Xingyao asked cautiously.
"...Of course you can."
The cautiousness and fear in the little girl's eyes made Shen Qingqing feel uncomfortable. She said softly, "Not only can you go to school, but you can also make many friends and learn a lot of knowledge."
Xingyao blinked, her small hand slowly hugging her.
She didn't dare to use force, as if afraid Mommy would run away, but she was also very happy. At the orphanage, the most she heard was that blind people couldn't go to school.
But now, she could go to school.
The car quickly stopped at the kindergarten gate. This kindergarten was different from normal kindergartens; it was a special needs kindergarten.
All the children inside had some kind of disability.
Shen Qingqing had already contacted Principal Zhao by phone. She was a woman around forty years old, and upon seeing the fragrant, soft, and sweet Xingyao, she instantly fell in love with her.
"What a beautiful child."
Shen Qingqing smiled, "Yes, she's like me."
Principal Zhao agreed, "Yes, Xingyao is very pretty, just like her mommy."
Xingyao gave a shy smile, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.
Principal Zhao liked the little girl very much, speaking in a gentle voice, afraid of startling her. "Xingyao, hello, I'm the principal, and I'm also your teacher. Shall I take you for an admission test now?"
Xingyao tightened her grip on Shen Qingqing's little hand, thinking Mommy was leaving.
She tried hard to convince herself that she was a big girl now and should go to kindergarten obediently, not to cause trouble for Mommy. Even though she was scared and reluctant, she couldn't let Mommy worry.
She slowly let go of her hand, comforting herself, but her eyes still welled up with tears.
Suddenly, a pair of warm, soft hands hugged her. The faint, elegant scent of Mommy filled her nostrils, and the little girl's fluttering heart settled.
"Mommy isn't leaving, I'm with you."
With these words, Xingyao instantly filled with courage.
As they entered, Shen Qingqing observed the kindergarten. Although it wasn't very large, it had all the necessary play facilities, and the lobby was filled with laughter.
The children gathered together, noisy yet lively.
They took Xingyao to the second floor for the admission test, which included self-care ability, physical ability, interests, and cognitive ability.
Xingyao passed all these tests successfully, only her physical ability was a bit lacking, and her eyesight still had some impact.
But what made the principal very happy was Xingyao's excellent sense of smell. She couldn't wait to test it and had someone bring in several pots of flowers.
This was similar to the test Shen Qingqing had done that day. Xingyao did not disappoint her, answering correctly one by one.
Another teacher at the kindergarten mused, "Principal, I think we can let the little girl try perfumery. It doesn't require physical strength, only a keen sense of smell and a unique understanding of fragrances. She's still young, so she might not be able to create perfumes yet, but she can learn slowly."
However, the teacher was quickly proven wrong.
Principal Zhao was a flexible person and, seeing Xingyao's ability, was naturally willing to give it a try. Although Xingyao was a little clumsy at first, she actually created a unique scent!
The scent was light, fresh, and refreshing.
The teacher was dumbfounded, "How, how is this possible!"
She was a perfumery teacher and had taught many children. She knew that children with such defects would always have one exceptionally outstanding ability.
But she had never seen such a talented child!
Principal Zhao was overjoyed, "Good, excellent. Xingyao, you are truly amazing."
The little girl had heard mostly malice and humiliation her whole life. This was the first time she had been praised like this, and her shy face turned red.
She instinctively looked for Mommy, tilting her head, her little face filled with an expectation she hadn't noticed herself.
Shen Qingqing stroked her head, "Xingyao is amazing."
She immediately showed a satisfied smile.
Shen Qingqing also didn't expect the little girl to be so capable. At the enthusiastic invitation of the principal and teacher, she completed the scholarship procedures for Xingyao.
She thought the little girl would definitely cry when she left, but to her surprise, her eyes only welled up.
"Mommy, you'll come pick me up, right?"
"Of course I will," Shen Qingqing crouched down, holding her small hands. "Mommy will pick you up on time. You must listen to the teacher obediently at kindergarten."
Xingyao nodded obediently, "Then I'll wait for Mommy."
Seeing her trying to be strong despite her reluctance, Shen Qingqing hugged her and kissed her forehead, and the little girl broke into a radiant smile.
When she left, she took the perfume Xingyao had made with her.
After all, it was her daughter's first creation, and she would definitely keep it.
As for the reluctant glances from the principal and teacher, she pretended not to see them, put the perfume in her bag, and quickly left the kindergarten.
On the way to the company, she couldn't help but take out the perfume and smell it.
The scent was indeed very good, fresh and elegant. It wasn't as strong as branded perfumes, but it gave a feeling of a gentle breeze.
She sprayed a little on her wrists and behind her ears, and the rest she kept in her bag, reluctant to use it up.
When she arrived at the company, she sensitively felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The closer she got to Fu Jingshu's office, the colder and heavier the atmosphere became.
She hesitated, thinking it was better not to go.
Unfortunately, Fu Jingshu saw her. "Come in."
It was too late to leave, so she had to go in.
As soon as she arrived, the PR manager, who had been scolded black and blue, breathed a sigh of relief. His back was already drenched. The full force of Master Fu was not something ordinary people could withstand.
Looking at Shen Qingqing, he was grateful yet couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The current Master Fu was like a firecracker, easily ignited!
This woman was in trouble.
Suddenly, Fu Jingshu glanced at him. The manager instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't dare to look around anymore, and his mind went blank, not daring to think anything else!
After he left, only Fu Jingshu and Shen Qingqing remained in the office. She wasn't afraid and asked with interest, "What has made Master Fu so angry?"
Fu Jingshu's nostrils twitched, and he looked at her intently.
He smelled a faint fragrance, subtle and elusive, which had eased his irritable mood.
"Fu Corporation owns a large water park."
"I know, I heard it's very popular," Shen Qingqing was even thinking about taking Chenchen to play there someday, but she worried about Chenchen's appearance being seen.
Fu Jingshu handed her a document.
Shen Qingqing opened the document. Inside were several photos and a record of the incident.
There was a problem with the safety facilities at the water park, which led to a child being injured. The child was now in the hospital, and their company naturally had to send someone to investigate the situation, apologize, and provide compensation to resolve the matter properly.
As Shen Qingqing read, she felt something was wrong, "You don't mean... you want me to go?"
