Chapter 442: Four hundred forty-two, hold a parent-teacher meeting _1

It wasn’t until after four in the afternoon.

Gu Chen was thinking about what to do regarding Tangtang’s situation.

Normally, he should pick up Tangtang himself, but he had asked Ji Pianran to do it yesterday, so it wouldn’t be right to ask her again today.

He called over Jia Xiaoyi and the others.

"Inform all the guests, we will take a one-hour intermission, as I need to go pick up my daughter," he said.

Without a choice, Gu Chen had to continue with the intermission.

Jia Xiaoyi and the others conveyed the message just as Gu Chen had said.

Hearing there would be an hour’s pause, the guests ordered an extra drink in advance.

After finishing up his tasks, Gu Chen hurriedly left.

He drove to the kindergarten.

After waiting for quite a long time, Tangtang still hadn’t come out.

This made Gu Chen furrow his brows, wondering what could have happened.

Otherwise, how could it be so late, and she still hadn’t emerged?

After waiting at the entrance for a while longer, he went to the security office.

After making a phone call, as expected, Tangtang was called to the office.

Gu Chen had no clue what trouble the little girl had stirred up this time.

It couldn’t be a direct escalation of the conflict with those people from the other day, could it?

Once the security received the teacher’s instruction to let him through, he headed to the office.

Upon reaching the office, Gu Chen saw the substitute teacher from the other day, the same one.

At the same time, there were indeed many children in the office today.

Twice as many as last time.

Had there been a battle of the century, leaving so many kids detained?

The substitute teacher sighed upon seeing Gu Chen, looking quite helpless with him.

This puzzled Gu Chen. Could it be that today’s long-delayed event was still about Tangtang?

"Tangtang’s parent, please wait a little longer, once all the other parents have arrived, we will have a brief parent meeting," she said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen wasn’t in a hurry, as the issue had escalated to the point of needing a parent meeting, it seemed to be somewhat serious.

At that moment, Tangtang came over to Gu Chen’s side and grabbed his large hand.

Looking at Tangtang’s expression, she seemed a bit aggrieved, as if she wasn’t the mastermind today, as if it had nothing to do with her at all.

Gu Chen didn’t blame her, he didn’t even ask her what had happened.

Gu Chen was not that kind of parent, he believed everything had a reason.

Although Tangtang was very young, she also had her own ability to think.

Perhaps today’s incident was triggered by Tangtang, but that didn’t mean Tangtang was to blame.

In society, anything can happen, and he chose not to constrain Tangtang.

Perhaps the world through Tangtang’s eyes was entirely different from his own.

After about half an hour, all the parents had now arrived at the office.

The substitute teacher looked at the parents and then stood up very solemnly.

"I am very grateful to all the parents for cooperating with our teachers’ work, and thank you all for taking the time," she began.

"Today, an incident occurred in our class again; it’s hard to say whether the incident was significant or trivial."

"May I ask all the parents, how do you usually explain the concept of money to your children?"

She addressed all the parents like this.

When it came to the topic of money, the parents all looked at each other uncertainly.

How could such young children possibly discuss the concept of money?

If children understood the concept of money, the stalls selling toys wouldn’t be surrounded by so many nagging kids.

"Today in the class, the children had an argument over money, which surprised me a lot and made me take it very seriously.

I don’t know why the kids began discussing their family incomes out of the blue."

It wasn’t an embarrassing topic in itself, but as the conversation progressed, a dispute broke out among the children.

Some kids claimed their fathers earned eight hundred a month, and others claimed their dads made three thousand a month. Even more outrageous, one even claimed that their father could earn ten thousand a day, and their mother was a group chairman."

"Dear parents, I trust you understand how serious this matter is.

We need to guide children’s inclination to compare themselves to others from a young age. We live in a harmonious society; our central ideology is about seeking win-win situations. Our society doesn’t need capitalism."

The teacher spoke solemnly to all the parents.

Parents had never imagined their children would engage in such a discussion; it seemed rather absurd.

How could the kids possibly have a clear concept of money?

"Teacher, I don’t think it’s about trying to outdo each other, really. Even we adults know that earning ten thousand a day is just boasting."

"Teacher, it definitely wasn’t my child. My kid doesn’t have such bad habits."

"Oh, kids definitely pick it up from their parents. If the parents are always talking nonsense, then surely the kids will be full of lies and tall tales too."

When they heard about making ten thousand in a day, the parents took it as simply the children exaggerating.

They thought this was something a child with no concept of money would say.

In today’s society, even though the term "ten-thousand-aire" is outdated, it’s still not within everyone’s reach.

Let alone earning ten thousand a day; wouldn’t that mean creating a ten-thousand-aire every day?

At this moment, Tiantian, who was holding onto Gu Chen’s hand, nestled against Gu Chen’s leg, feeling aggrieved.

Gu Chen understood instantly upon hearing it; the child who said they made ten thousand a day and their mom was the chairman had to be her own Tiantian.

It was probably because the little girl heard the conversation between herself and Ji Pianran yesterday.

The teacher standing there saw the parents’ heated debate and promptly intervened.

When children compete out of ignorance, it’s one thing, but when parents do it, it’s real competition.

Everyone seems very interested when it comes to money.

"Parents, the main reasons we gathered you in the office today are two-fold.

The first reason is to urge parents to pay attention to children’s inclination to compare themselves to others.

The second reason is so that everyone, in their everyday life, will be mindful of their words and actions, avoiding transmitting any bad habits to their children."

"All of this is for the children’s future; now is the time for them to establish correct values."

The teacher said to everyone like this.

After listening, all the parents nodded in agreement.

Just then, a child who seemed to have come out of nowhere said, "Only Tiantian likes to brag, we don’t!"

After the child finished speaking, Tiantian immediately cried out in protest, "That’s not true! My dad does make ten thousand a day, and my mom is the chairman!"

She said this to the other child.
