Nowadays, it's common for wealthy and powerful people to send their children abroad for education.
Fu Fengzhao, as the most outstanding among the younger generation, was expected to succeed others from a young age. He was also sent abroad to study at a university overseas, and only returned to take over the company after completing his studies.
Based on this, it's highly likely that Qingqing will also be sent away in the future.
Her status is different; not only to the Xiao family, but also to the nation as a whole, she is someone who needs to be protected as an important figure.
So what if she goes abroad in the future and can't bring her heart back?
If she wants to stay abroad, the Xiao family certainly won't have any objections.
But from a national perspective, this is a major loss.
Therefore, the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of State Security received orders to form a team to launch the "Seedling Cultivation Program".
They found someone with both an experienced psychologist and an education background to serve as the teacher.
We aim to instill patriotism in Qingqing's heart through curriculum design and games that interest her.
In addition, they also have a helpful nature, a kind heart, and a love for their national culture.
Plant a seed in your child's heart when she is young, and when she grows up, that seed will grow with her and become a towering tree.
Even if she goes abroad in the future, she will still have the concept of a country in her heart and feel a sense of belonging to her country.
That's what those people at the top wanted.
Originally, this lesson was only to be given to Qingqing's class, but the children in the class found out, so Song Ya improvised and said it was a trial lesson.
The class has been going on for a week now, and if Qingqing hadn't mentioned the new lesson yesterday, none of them would have noticed it yet.
After reading the investigation materials, Old Master Fu took them to the Xiao family.
He was having some trouble deciding on this matter.
If it's something that's bad for the child, he'll stop it immediately, no matter the cost.
However, judging from the course materials, apart from some selfish desires such as wanting Qingqing to love her country and rescue injured animals, the moral values instilled are all positive.
Most importantly, judging from the tone of the girl's voice yesterday, she really likes the course.
It's similar to playing a game, but more fun than most games.
Firstly, she has many people to accompany her; secondly, she can play with her good friends and win the first place prize. How could she not like it?
It can only be said that this course design team is truly top-notch in the industry.
Upon arriving at the Xiao family home, Old Master Fu and Xiao Qingdai discussed the matter for a while and reached a consensus.
Half an hour later, the old man came out of the Xiao family's house and made a phone call to arrange a meeting with people from the Ministry of Education of the Ministry of State Security.
He called Xiao Su along to go and negotiate with the other party.
Neither of them are cold-hearted; if the ideas conveyed by the course are positive, they will not obstruct it.
What I'm worried about is what negative impact these courses might have on a child's development.
To prevent this from happening, they wanted to review the teaching materials in advance and only hand them over to the teacher after confirming that everything was correct.
Grandpa Fu and Xiao Su wanted to talk to the people in the Ministry of Education about this matter.
For this purpose, he also invited a friend who had retired from the Ministry of Education many years ago.
With this veteran leader in charge, the matter is basically settled.
Finally, the Ministry of Education happily agreed to their request and sent them a copy of the courseware that had been designed for the coming week.
The conversation went smoothly, and after lunch, everyone went their separate ways.
As he left, Grandpa Fu thanked the friend he had brought along to support him.
The old leader is seventy years old this year. He waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite with me? If you really want to thank me, just send me some of the fruit you guys got."
His daughter-in-law brought some grapes back from her parents' home and let them try them. They were delicious, and his grandson always begs to eat those whenever he sees grapes being bought at home.
It's just too hard to buy; even if you have the money, you can't get it.
He was quite proud and embarrassed to use his past relationship with Old Master Fu to approach him, but this time he finally had the chance.
So what seemed like a casual remark was actually something I'd been thinking about for a long time.
Grandpa Fu smiled and agreed.
After seeing the person off, he and Xiao Su went home and showed the presentation slides to Xiao Qingdai.
After confirming that there were no problems, they replied to the other party.
In addition, to take precautions, the Xiao family found someone from their own family to work as a life skills teacher at Qingqing's school.
Qingqing's school is a private, elite school. Xiao Su knows the school's board of directors, so it would be quite easy for him to place someone there.
They openly placed people in there, clearly indicating their intention to supervise.
The Ministry of Education learned about this, but since they didn't know the reason behind it, they reported it to their superiors, and the response they received was that it didn't need to be addressed.
If they want to supervise, they're in the wrong; they have ulterior motives. The fact that the Xiao family agreed to let them interfere in their child's education, instead of sending the child abroad to study in a fit of anger, is already a great favor.
After all, there's nothing they can do if their child is sent abroad, and there's no law that says a child can't study abroad.
And so, with the tacit understanding and harmony maintained by both sides, Qingqing completed a semester of classes.
She will be starting first grade next semester. The Xiao family has already found a school for her and Wen You in the capital, a prestigious school with very high admission requirements.
Even for children, it's still a little sad to part ways after a year of studying together.
Little Fatty had been coasting along with Qingqing and Wenyou for a whole semester, but when they suddenly said they had to separate, he burst into tears.
On graduation day, he was the one who cried the most.
Back home, Little Fatty threw himself into his father's arms, sobbing, "Dad, I want to go to school with Qingqing again, otherwise I won't go to school anymore!"
Mr. Wang, Xiaopang's father, looked at his son, who was crying so ugly, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
"When did you become so close to them?"
Little Fatty sniffed, his eyes red-rimmed, and said, "We...we're good friends, I like her."
Mr. Wang, unaware of what he was imagining, changed his expression from confusion to surprise.
Who would have thought his son would be so successful, far surpassing his father?
Not only does he like her, but he can also become good friends with her. If things continue like this, he might even become a son-in-law in the Xiao family in the future.
He grinned from ear to ear and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll find out which school Qingqing goes to tomorrow and get you in too."
He remembered that when he was a child, a fortune teller had predicted that the chubby boy had the potential to be a kept man.
If he can live off the Xiao family, he will become a great contributor to the Wang family in the future.
Mr. Wang was getting excited when Little Fatty got up from his arms, wiped away his tears and drool from the corner of his mouth, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"I can eat the snacks Qingqing brought and copy Wenyou's homework, this is great!"
Mr. Wang's excitement vanished instantly.
