Quite coincidentally, Xiao Muyu's college entrance examination site was very close to her home, so she could go home directly for a lunch break every day.
Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Jincheng were responsible for picking her up and dropping her off for her exams every day, and the two mothers were responsible for preparing nutritious meals for her.
The four of them worked together very well, and the logistical support was excellent.
The last exam on the 9th was about to end, and the four of them waited for Xiao Muyu to come out outside the exam room.
Sitting in the car with the air conditioning on, Xiao Jincheng looked out at the blazing sun and wondered, "On such a hot day, were there any more students being carried out today?"
Jiang Xiaoli recalled, "It seems so. The weather is too hot, and many people are suffering from heatstroke."
Xu Feng felt sorry for these students. She sighed, "The teaching building that Xiao Li donated to No. 20 Middle School is about to be completed. The students of No. 20 Middle School will be very happy in the future."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "It's basically finished and will be ready for use when school starts in September this year."
Xiao Jincheng praised, "Xiao Li has really done something practical for No. 20 Middle School!"
She said with a smile, "After all, it's my alma mater. This is nothing to me, but it will benefit the teachers and future students of No. 20 Middle School a lot, so I think it's worth it."
Xu Feng laughed and said, "That's right! Last time I went to the school for Xiaoyu's parent-teacher conference, every time Xiaoli was mentioned, it was all praise!"
"Hehe, keep it low-key!"
Yesterday, she ran into Chen Zhe at the school gate. He said that the principal had specially named the new teaching building "Jiang's Seeking Knowledge Building".
Jiang Xiaoli hurriedly called the principal to try to get him to change his mind, but the old man wouldn't listen to her at all!
Chen smiled and advised her, "It's not fashionable to do good deeds anonymously these days. You are the pride of our No. 20 Middle School. So much money was spent building the teaching building, and the school only added the name 'Jiang' to the front of the name. You deserve it!"
Seeing their firm stance, Jiang Xiaoli had no choice but to acquiesce.
As they chatted, a commotion arose at the school gate.
Xu Feng glanced at the time and thought, "There are still two minutes until the bell rings; the exam is about to end."
The others didn't get out of the car and approach, but Xiao Muyu knew their location.
More than ten minutes later, Xiao Muyu waved goodbye to her classmates, opened the car door, and got into the car.
Jiang Xiaoli started the car, and the others tacitly refrained from asking her about her exam results.
Xiao Jincheng turned his head and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat after the exam?"
Without a second thought, Xiao Muyu exclaimed, "Master Jiang!"
She's been craving hot pot so much lately, but both mothers have put it on their list of foods forbidden before exams.
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and turned the car around at the next intersection. "No problem! I'll treat you to your fill today!"
"Master Jiang" now has a total of 5 stores in Xijing. Shao Ping'an took Jiang Xiaoli's words as gospel and prepared reserved private rooms for each store.
To avoid a repeat of the previous situation where the waiter didn't recognize her when she went to the restaurant, Shao Ping'an customized several VIP cards for her when making the "Master Jiang" VIP card. Only customers with VIP cards can use the reserved private rooms.
When every employee of "Master Jiang" is onboarded and undergoes employee training to learn about the VIP card levels, these VIP cards are always emphasized.
However, since "Master Jiang" opened six months ago, Jiang Xiaoli has hardly used the card in her hand.
They arrived at the nearest "Master Jiang" store.
Although it's already July, the air conditioning in "Master Jiang's" restaurant is running very loudly, and it's still very crowded during mealtimes.
Jiang Xiaoli saw that there was a wait at the door and was about to take out her VIP card to show the waiter.
The waiter at the entrance greeted Xiao Jincheng and his family warmly, saying, "Mr. Xiao, you've arrived!" and then led them to their reserved private room.
Jiang Xiaoli looked completely bewildered. "Uncle Xiao, you're more effective in my shop than I am myself!"
As they sat in the private room ordering food, Xiao Jincheng laughed and said, "I met Xiao Shao in Kyoto last time, and he gave me a VIP card. We come here to eat often, so it's normal for the waiters to recognize us."
Jiang Xiaoli was in a good mood. "Hehe, Shao Ping'an really knows how to handle things!"
Xiao Muyu almost ordered everything on the menu, but Xu Feng stopped her in the end, saying, "That's enough. The exams are over now. You can eat whatever you want from now on!"
Xiao Muyu then reluctantly put down the menu after ordering another serving of preserved vegetables.
They were enjoying their hot pot in the air conditioning when Xiao Jincheng asked, "Little Pear, when are you planning to go back to Kyoto?"
She rested her chin on her hand and asked in return, "What date do you plan to return?"
Xiao Jincheng glanced at his wife and said, "Let's hurry up. The construction site over there is burning through money every day, and I'm not comfortable with it."
Xu Feng was both amused and annoyed by his expression. "Alright! Xiaoyu has finished her exams. If you have something to do, hurry up and leave! My daughter and I are free at home!"
Jiang Xiaoli covered her mouth and chuckled, "Aunt Xu, you're just saying one thing and meaning another!"
Xiao Jincheng touched his face narcissistically, "Feng'er, let's part ways for another half month. Once Xiaoyu gets her results and admission notice, we'll meet up in Kyoto!"
Xu Feng tore off a napkin, crumpled it up, and threw it at him, yelling, "How old are you? Aren't you ashamed?!"
That evening, Jiang Xiaoli received a phone call. Filming for "Qiaochu" officially wrapped up on the 11th, and Zhong Yuan's minor role was also scheduled for that day.
Zhong Yuan and Shen Zhaokun both invited her to the wrap party.
Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Muyu made the decision for her, "If you have something to do, just go back. You don't have anything to do in Xijing anyway, and it's annoying to hear you answering company calls every day."
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Let me see whose little darling is so thoughtful!"
Xiao Muyu laughed and pushed her away, "Don't be so sticky, it's hot!"
Having agreed to meet in Kyoto, Xiao Jincheng and Jiang Xiaoli, along with her daughter, left Xijing.
That evening, Jiang Xiaoli returned home, put her things down, and went to visit the neighbors across the street. She saw Zhong Yuan holding a piece of paper high up and waving it in front of them.
Jiang Xiaoli, confused, asked, "Brother Yuan, what are you looking at?"
Dafu slapped his forehead and said, "Here we go again!"
She soon found out what had happened.
The paper contained two lines of dialogue for Zhong Yuan, who had only a minor role.
Zhong Yuan sat very seriously in front of Jiang Xiaoli and asked, "Xiaoli, can you help me figure out how to act this scene?"
Jiang Xiaoli stared at him speechlessly, "Brother Yuan, don't force me to get Shen Zhaokun to delete these two lines for you."
Zhong Yuan frowned, "No way! I already told Xin Xin I'm filming tomorrow and asked her to come watch with me!"
Dafu burst into laughter, "Little Pear, it has to be you! Look at him, as if he can make a big deal out of this five-word extra role."
Zhong Yuan emphasized, "Hey, hey, hey, this isn't five words, it's two lines of dialogue. Can you please respect my first on-screen experience?"
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but say, "Brother Yuan, if we had the talent, I would definitely spend money to make you the lead in a movie. The problem is, we're really lacking."
