[ContrastTeamInADadW/BabyShow] Chapter 107.2 — New School

The Dean of Students and Teacher Yang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this. Before Lin Momo arrived, they had worried about whether she would struggle to keep up with Grade 3.

However, their concerns proved unfounded.

Lin Momo was a very good student. While she was answering the questions, Teacher Yang was even surprised to discover that her arithmetic and mental arithmetic abilities far surpassed those of other students in her grade.

The Dean then turned to the last page of the test paper.

This was actually a psychological test designed by renowned psychologists and education experts, both domestically and internationally. These questions offer insights into the student’s mental health, personality traits, and initial personality.

“According to the test results, Momo is quite normal for a child her age,” the dean said, handing Lin Cheng a copy of the reference test results. She smiled and said, “Based on these results, Momo seems to have a focused personality. She’s very receptive to things and has a deep desire for communication and recognition…”

“That’s a pretty good personality,” the Dean said with a smile.

Hearing the dean’s praise for Lin Momo, Lin Cheng’s eyes lit up with pride, and he also mentally scoffed to the previous teacher’s comment about Lin Momo being ‘introverted’.

After talking with the two teachers, Lin Cheng didn’t rush to process Lin Momo’s admission. Instead, he took her aside and carefully asked for her opinion.

“What do you think of this school? Do you like it?” Lin Cheng asked.

Hearing this, Lin Momo nodded without hesitation and replied, “I like it.”

Then, feeling that her answer might be a bit too perfunctory, Lin Momo thought carefully for a moment and added, “It’s big and beautiful here. There are lots of sports fields and a separate library. And the teachers are very friendly.”

After recounting her reasons, Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng and asked, “Dad, what do you think?”

“Not bad,” he said. Lin Cheng followed suit, explaining his reasons, “This school has good safety measures. The environment is quiet and perfect for studying. Plus, it’s close to our home and company. I can take you to school and pick you up after school.”

Hearing Lin Cheng’s words, Lin Momo nodded vigorously, then froze for a moment.

“Isn’t your company on the other side of the city?” It didn’t seem that close either.

Lin Momo assumed the ‘company’ Lin Cheng was referring to was his entertainment company. 

Chen Yu and Wang Xi had taken her there before. Lin Momo had a habit of memorizing directions. While she couldn’t memorize every route in the city, she could remember the general direction. She remembered that place was probably quite far from where they were currently living.

Seeing Lin Momo’s bewilderment, Lin Xiao chuckled softly and explained, “It’s not Starstone Entertainment.”

The ‘company’ Lin Cheng was referring to wasn’t Starstone Entertainment but largest company under the Lin family.

While the Lin family maintained a low profile, their assets, businesses, and companies were practically spread across the country, with many based overseas. Having resolved the issues with Lin Zhenhong and Lin Zhenming, Lin Cheng planned to reorganize all of the Lin family’s businesses.

Having been a hands-off manager for a several weeks, after Lin Momo started school, it was time for him to start working properly at the company again.

“It’s our own company.”

“Huh?” Did they have their own company?

Lin Momo was a little surprised.

“Is it big?” Lin Momo asked curiously.

With her current understanding, the concept of a ‘company’ was still a bit unclear.

“Not bad,” Lin Xiao said, rubbing Lin Momo’s head. “I’ll take you to see it in a couple of days after we finish the enrollment paperwork.”

“Really?!”

“Yeah.”

The father and daughter’s words were relayed to the livestream, and the comments immediately became lively:

[Holy crap, Lin Cheng admitted it directly?]

[It’s his own company, so Lin Cheng’s background is really extraordinary?]

[In his case, ‘If you don’t work hard, you’ll have to go back and inherit the family business’ seems to be true.]

..….

Everyone kept on discussing it, and at the same time, they began to wonder: What company, what family, what exactly is Lin Cheng’s backing?

[Oh my god, the more this happens, the more I’m curious about what Lin Cheng’s family does.]

[Will it be revealed on the show?]

[Didn’t Lin Cheng say he was taking Momo to the company? Even if the show is censored, the real information should pop up online. We’ll just have to wait and see.]

[Oh, all this waiting…]

… …

After talking to Lin Momo and confirming her idea, Lin Cheng took her back to the office, and the teacher took them through the admission procedures.

Since the start of school was approaching, the head teacher, along with the teachers from the Student Affairs and Logistics Offices, simply handed Lin Momo a new uniform, a school badge, a student ID card representing her student number, a campus card, and the textbooks and materials she was supposed to receive. 

On the way home, Lin Momo sat in the car, still clutching her new uniform, ID card, and the pile of new textbooks.

Just as Lin Cheng was about to remind her not to read in the car, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Grandpa Lin calling.

“Hello, Grandpa,” Lin Cheng answered, and as soon as he spoke, Grandpa Lin’s anxious voice came from the other end.

“Where are you guys? How come you haven’t finished it after all this time?”

“It’s done,” Lin Cheng replied.

Hearing this, Grandpa Lin quickly pressed the issue, “How was Momo’s transfer? How are the teachers? Is the school environment good?”

“Everything’s fine, don’t worry,” Lin Cheng said again.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lin finally responded, “That’s good.”

“I had the kitchen prepare many of Momo’s favorite dishes: sweet and sour spare ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, eight-treasure porridge… and her favorite steamed cakes. Now that school’s done, come back for dinner!”

Hearing Grandpa Lin’s words, Lin Cheng instinctively raised his wrist to check the time: [3:28 PM]…

Nearby, Lin Momo faintly heard Grandpa’s voice coming from the phone, so she leaned closer and asked, “Is it Great-grandpa?”

“Yes,” Lin Cheng replied.

“What’s going on with Great-grandpa? Is there something wrong?” Lin Momo asked.

“Nothing, your great-grandfather wants us to go home for dinner,” Lin Cheng explained.

Lin Cheng hadn’t chosen the Lin family residence as the primary recording location for [Living with Dad] because he didn’t want the production crew and camera crew to disrupt Grandpa Lin’s normal life.

However, Grandpa Lin wasn’t pleased, insisting he had to see his precious great-grandchild more before she has to start school.

Lin Cheng told the driver in the front seat that they were going to the main house, then handed the phone to Lin Momo.

Lin Momo took the phone, and the old and the young immediately started chatting:

“Great-grandpa!”

“Hey! Little Momo is going to a new school?”

“Yeah!” Lin Momo nodded in response.

“How’s the new school? Is it good?”

“Very excellent! The new school’s gate is big and beautiful, and there’s a row of tall trees along the way. The playground is also incredibly large… There’s even a dedicated cafeteria for lunch…

“I also saw the cultural wall in the school square. It features artwork from fellow students and photos from past events…

“By the way, the teacher even took me to the classroom. It’s super fantastic, with its own multimedia system and adjustable desks…

“My homeroom teacher is surnamed Yang. She’s very pretty and incredibly kind…”

Lin Momo and Old Master Lin chatted about her experiences at school, the layout, the classrooms, and her homeroom teacher. They chatted back and forth until the car arrived at the main house, where Old Master Lin personally stood at the door to greet Lin Momo. Only then did they finally hang up.
