Chapter 706: Chapter 706 Worth Special Treatment
He looked up at Jiang Mianmian, thinking that if Little Lamb could really come to the Capital City for school, he would be able to visit her and play together often.
However, upon hearing Elder Yu’s words, Jiang Mianmian shook her head without hesitation to refuse, “Go to the Capital for school? No, Grandpa Yu, I don’t want to be apart from my parents. Our school is quite good, and both the teachers and students are very nice to me.”
Hearing this, Yu Cheng felt disappointed, but that made sense, Jiang Mianmian was only ten years old after all. Even if she agreed to come to the Capital, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Wan would not feel at ease.
“Mianmian, the concerns you have are not a problem. If you don’t want to be away from your parents, Grandpa Yu can arrange for them to work in the Capital as well, and when the time comes, we will also arrange a house for you. That way, you can come to study in the Capital without being separated from your mom and dad,” Elder Yu persuaded.
In reality, such a transfer would be infeasible.
After all, the town where they lived was far too distant from the Capital. To directly transfer there would indeed be an extraordinary exception.
However, special talent requires special treatment. A little genius like Jiang Mianmian, with tremendous potential and who had already contributed to the nation, was worth making an exception for.
Aroused by what she heard, Jiang Mianmian felt tempted. Seeing her wavering, Elder Yu continued to coax, “And Mianmian, think about it, if you come to the Capital, whenever you want to do an experiment or borrow any tools and equipment, you can come to Grandpa Yu. I will arrange it for you.”
Hearing this, the scale in Jiang Mianmian’s heart finally began to tip towards the Capital.
“Grandpa Yu, I can’t decide on this matter right now. Can I go home, discuss it with my parents, and then give you an answer?” Jiang Mianmian asked.
Elder Yu didn’t expect Jiang Mianmian to immediately agree anyway. As clever as she was, she was just a ten-year-old child. Such a big matter should be decided by the family.
“Of course, Mianmian, go and talk it over well with your parents. Once you’ve decided, let Grandpa Yu know. I will arrange everything for you. Alright, it’s getting late. I need to head to the command post now. Have a good time playing at home with Yu Cheng,” Elder Yu said as he stood up, put on his military uniform, and left.
“Okay, Grandpa Yu, take care.”
After Elder Yu left and it was just Jiang Mianmian and Yu Cheng in the room, she moved closer to Yu Cheng, looking somewhat uncertain as she asked, “Brother Yu, do you think I should come to the Capital for school?”
“Mianmian, actually Grandpa is right. The education here in the Capital is indeed a bit better than your place. The schools here focus on developing students in all aspects—morals, intelligence, physical health, aesthetics, and labor—not just on studying but also on practical skills. Plus, as far as I know, many high schools invite celebrities or outstanding individuals who have achieved something in certain areas to give speeches every year. I think that if you come to the Capital, you will definitely learn a lot more,” Yu Cheng said, backing up his point with examples.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian felt even more tempted.
Yu Cheng continued, “Moreover, look at your cake shop here in the Capital. If you suddenly come up with a new design or a new flavor, you’d have to wait for the school vacations to come and teach the apprentices. And about your tailoring shop—if you were in the Capital, you could take some high-priced private custom orders. Look how much Auntie Cheng and others love the clothes you make for them. Once your reputation spreads, think about how much more money you could make.”
