Li Ming nodded happily and said, "Thank you, little girl. Are you full? Would you like a few more skewers? Eat as many as you want, it's free."
Yan Ning stood up and said calmly, "No need, I should go back now. I've already paid the bill. The barbecue was delicious."
After saying that, she turned and left the barbecue stall.
Li Ming called out loudly from behind, "Thank you so much for today! Please come again soon!"
The Su family.
Jiang Lan sat in her room, looking at the garden outside the window with a sinister gaze.
She knew that Butler Liu held a very important position in the Su family, and if she could win him over, she would have a better chance of dealing with Su Yanning.
But Butler Liu actually refused her; he was simply ungrateful!
"Butler Liu, do you really think you're invincible in the Su family?" Jiang Lan said through gritted teeth.
She suddenly remembered that Butler Liu had a daughter who was well-behaved and clever and had always longed to attend an international school.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to break through?
A sly smile crept across Jiang Lan's lips as she immediately dialed the number of a friend who had connections in the education department:
"Hey, old friend, I need your help with something..."
the next day.
Liu Yue, the housekeeper's daughter, returned home excitedly, holding an admission notice from an international school.
"Dad, look! I've been accepted into an international school!" Liu Yue excitedly handed the acceptance letter to the housekeeper.
Butler Liu looked at the notice, his mind filled with doubt.
He knew that his family's financial situation was simply not enough to afford the high tuition fees of international schools, and he had never asked anyone to do so.
He examined the notice carefully; the seals and text on it looked very legitimate, but he couldn't help but suspect that there might be something fishy going on behind the scenes.
"That's wonderful, Yueyue. Dad will definitely find a way to get you into school."
Butler Liu forced a smile as he comforted his daughter.
When he saw his daughter's expectant eyes, he felt as if he had been pricked by a needle.
He couldn't let his daughter down, no matter how difficult it was for him.
Housekeeper Liu told her daughter to do her homework while she rushed off to school.
He went to the admissions office hoping to learn about the specifics of the tuition fees and see if there were any possibilities for reductions or installment payments.
"Sir, according to our regulations, tuition fees for international schools must be paid in full within three days, otherwise we will cancel your admission."
The admissions office staff spoke coldly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Butler Liu was sweating profusely and quickly explained, "Could you give me a few more days? One million is just too much. Give me a month, and I'm sure I can raise it!"
"I'm sorry, sir, there are many people who want to attend our school. We only accept outstanding students. If you can't pay the tuition within three days, then your daughter should attend a regular school."
But the other party completely ignored his request and simply repeated the school's regulations.
Housekeeper Liu walked out of the school helplessly, her mind a complete mess.
When he got home, he saw his daughter still excitedly packing her schoolbag in her room, getting ready for the new semester.
He couldn't bear to tell her this cruel reality, so he could only sit silently on the sofa, lost in thought.
For the next two days, Butler Liu frantically borrowed money from all over the place.
He first approached some of his old friends, but they all said they were also short of money and could only lend him a small amount.
He then thought of some acquaintances in his hometown, but they were also in a bad financial situation recently and could not help him.
Butler Liu even considered taking out a bank loan, but the bank's procedures were complicated, and he didn't have enough collateral.
He visited almost every bank, but was ultimately turned away.
Watching her daughter eagerly anticipate going to international school every day, Liu's heart felt like it was being torn apart.
He knew he couldn't continue like this; he had to come up with a solution.
These past few days, he's been absent-minded and listless at work, looking like he's aged ten years in an instant, completely lacking his former upright and elegant demeanor.
That day, Butler Liu sat on a chair in the storeroom, head down, sighing incessantly.
A thought suddenly popped into his mind: if he conspired with Jiang Lan, would he be able to get the money?
Jiang Lan has a lot of connections. If she just gives the word, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for Yueyue to get into an international school?
But he immediately dismissed the idea. He had promised his wife to take good care of Yan Ning, and he couldn't go back on his word!
He'd rather not send his daughter to an international school than associate with someone like Jiang Lan!
At this moment, Yan Ning, who was passing by, noticed that Butler Liu was sitting alone in the storeroom, looking sullen.
Although Yan Ning doesn't usually concern herself with household matters, she has always respected Butler Liu and immediately sensed his anxiety.
"Uncle Liu, you seem to be troubled lately. What's wrong? Tell me about it, maybe I can help," Yan Ning said with concern.
“Hey, Yueyue suddenly received an acceptance letter from an international school, saying it costs one million to pay three years’ tuition, but I don’t have that much money.”
After hesitating for a moment, Butler Liu told Yan Ning about his daughter.
"One million?"
Yan Ning frowned, somewhat surprised. "How could it possibly cost so much? And even if it did, it wouldn't be paid in full within three days. There must be something fishy going on here."
After saying that, she raised her hand and quickly did some calculations with her fingers.
Sure enough, the principal of this private international school was Jiang Lan's longtime friend, and it was Jiang Lan who was behind this.
