The next day.

Inside a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

"Mommy, Daddy, why do I have to change schools?"

With Li Fei driving, Ye Chen's family of three sat in the back.

Upon learning about the school change, Ye Youyou pouted, clearly unwilling.

Having spent so much time at Zijing Kindergarten, she had grown attached to it.

Therefore, the little girl was quite upset about the change.

"Isn't it good for Youyou to go to a better school?"

Understanding her daughter's feelings, Chen Yinuo smiled reassuringly.

"But Zijing Kindergarten is already very good. I have many friends there. If I change schools, I won't see them or my teachers anymore! Mommy, Daddy, can we not change schools?" The little girl's eyes welled up with tears, filled with reluctance.

"Youyou, we can make new friends at the new school. The new school Mommy and Daddy found for you is much better than Zijing Kindergarten!" Chen Yinuo said, stroking her daughter's head, feeling her reluctance. "As for your teachers and friends at Zijing Kindergarten, Mommy can take you to visit them when we have time!"

Although she didn't want to change Ye Youyou's kindergarten in the first place, considering safety concerns and the overall living and educational environment, she felt the decision was necessary.

"But I still don't want to!" The little girl's pout deepened.

"Youyou, how about we try it out first? If you don't like the new school, we can always go back, okay?" Ye Chen suggested, taking a step back.

"Really?" Ye Youyou's big, watery eyes widened.

"Has Daddy ever lied to Youyou?" Ye Chen replied.

"Then let's make a pinky promise?" Ye Youyou requested.

Amidst Chen Yinuo's amused smile, Ye Chen made a pinky promise with his daughter.

However, the couple had no idea that their daughter was already planning to complain about the new school that very night.

Escorted by Wang Meng, Zhu Wu, Tang Song, and Song Yu in separate vehicles, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class arrived at the entrance of South China International Kindergarten.

A row of luxurious vehicles came into view.

Rolls-Royces and Bentleys were clustered together.

However, those familiar with South China International Kindergarten knew that compared to those high-profile Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, the ordinary-looking cars were the ones that truly carried significant backgrounds.

Without exaggeration, among those ordinary cars, at least nine out of ten families held positions of considerable influence.

Because of this, South China International didn't have many students.

When Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo got out of the car with Ye Youyou, they immediately attracted attention.

After the recent negative publicity, Ye Chen was a well-known figure in Jiangzhou.

However, the gazes were filled with surprise.

In their eyes, Ye Chen's status wasn't high enough for his daughter to attend South China International.

"Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye!"

Just as the family reached the school gate, a cheerful greeting came from the side.

The couple paused in surprise.

Turning their heads, they saw a tall, elegant young woman and a bespectacled, refined man, walking towards them with a little girl, all smiles.

"You are?" Ye Chen asked, surprised.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Yan Yuan, this is my husband, Qin Xuan, and this is my daughter, Qin Shiwen!" The young woman introduced herself.

The couple then smiled and extended their hands to Ye Chen and his wife.

Hearing the surname Yan, Ye Chen suddenly remembered what the Old Secretary had said about Yan Huaili's granddaughter attending South China International.

"You are Secretary Yan's daughter and son-in-law?" Ye Chen asked with a surprised smile.

His gaze lingered on Qin Xuan for a moment.

The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Yes, my father learned from Old Secretary Zhang that you were transferring your child to South China International and specifically called me to bring Shiwen over to meet Youyou. After all, Youyou is new to the school and might feel a little uncomfortable," Yan Yuan explained with a smile.

Chen Yinuo was astonished.

The fact that Youyou was changing schools had even reached Secretary Yan Huaili? And he had asked his daughter to bring his granddaughter to meet Youyou?

Was this not giving them too much importance?

"Are you Ye Youyou? I'm Qin Shiwen. From now on, we're friends!"

At Yan Yuan's prompting, Qin Shiwen opened her arms to Ye Youyou in a sweet voice.

She then proactively went forward and hugged Ye Youyou.

Prompted by Qin Shiwen's initiative, Ye Youyou, who was naturally outgoing, immediately hugged her back and started chatting happily—mainly because the older girl was pretty.

"We didn't expect Secretary Yan's kindness. Thank you, thank you!"

Ye Chen said humbly.

"Mr. Ye, my father's impartiality extends beyond official matters. He's the same in private. You're the first young person he's paid so much attention to!" Yan Shiwen said softly.

When they received the call from her father, the couple were equally stunned.

They were familiar with Ye Chen's name, which had been the subject of online discussions not long ago, and naturally knew he was the CEO of Yiren Ruxue.

However, that wasn't enough to warrant a call from her father, Yan Huaili.

"I hope I don't disappoint Secretary Yan," Ye Chen said with a slight shake of his head and a smile.

"My father has always had excellent judgment. At least... I haven't seen him be wrong yet!"

Yan Yuan said with a smile.

Qin Xuan looked at the time and then smiled as he took out his business cards. "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, it's getting late. We should get going. Here's my card. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"Here's mine!" Yan Yuan also took out her card.

However, when Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo took the cards and saw the titles on them, they were instantly stunned!

Yan Yuan: Associate Professor, Department of Physics, Sun Yat-sen University!

Qin Xuan: Associate Research Fellow, Chinese Academy of Sciences!

This...

Seeing the couple's surprise, Yan Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, it's really nothing. There are many more outstanding people than us!"

"You're already exceptional!" Ye Chen said.

"Mr. Ye, don't say that. The truly exceptional one is someone like you! At such a young age, with such achievements, it's hard to find a second one in all of China!" Qin Xuan said.

"You flatter me!"

Ye Chen shook his head modestly, then exchanged cards with them, before saying, "Since you two are in a hurry, let's leave it here for today. We'll chat another time!"

"Okay, Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, goodbye!" The Yan couple said with a graceful smile and left.
