Cristino: "..."
What kind of training class? Seeing the woman's expression, she seemed to have ill intentions.
But if it meant seeing Du Ruoxin smile, seeing her forget her sorrow, he would indulge her in anything.
"Prenatal training."
Fearing her elder brother would refuse to participate, she quickly added, "It teaches new parents how to care for babies, as well as common prenatal and postpartum issues. I'll go with you and sister-in-law then."
Cristino: "..."
Du Ruoxin looked at her brother's stern features and her heart skipped a beat. She said forcefully, "You can't refuse. Everyone needs to learn how to be a good father and a good mother."
Unexpectedly, Cristino responded with a faint "Mm," and then asked, "When?"
Huh?
Big brother agreed?
So readily?
Without her having to use all her might? Without her having to plead endlessly?
"Tomorrow!" Du Ruoxin, afraid Cristino would go back on his word, said excitedly, "I'll send you the address later!"
She would confirm the time and number of participants with the training institution right away.
"Ring ring ring—"
Her phone rang.
Du Ruoxin saw it was Yang Fei calling. While there was no real need to pressure Cristino, she still went to the side to take the call, thinking about contacting the training class.
"President Du, I just took on a mall design project and assigned it to Wen Yuhan."
When business came knocking, it was foolish not to accept it.
"Good," Du Ruoxin nodded. "Help me keep an eye on Yuhan and see how capable she is?"
That was precisely Yang Fei's intention. Not being sure of Du Ruoxin's relationship with Wen Yuhan, she made this call.
"Yes."
After they hung up, Du Ruoxin quickly called the training institution.
She couldn't opt for a group class. Her brother's temper was unpredictable; if he threw a tantrum or caused any trouble, it would be difficult to manage.
Du Ruoxin had no choice but to book a 1-on-3 private tutoring session.
When the training institution's teacher heard Du Ruoxin's request, her expression froze for a long moment. All her private tutoring slots for the next week were already fully booked!
To reschedule now...
The teacher, polite yet sweet, said, "Mrs. Rong, I'll go and adjust the schedule. Please wait for my notification."
Du Ruoxin: "Teacher, please try your best to make time. If we miss tomorrow, I'm afraid the plan will change."
Teacher: "Alright."
After hanging up, Du Ruoxin called Clara.
Clara was overjoyed to hear that she would be attending a prenatal training class with Cristino and said she was available anytime Du Ruoxin needed her.

Rong Jingyang left Yunhu International and went to the police station. Regarding the school's work stoppage, he sought out the chief.
"Mr. Rong, it's not that I'm unreasonable, nor am I intentionally making things difficult for you."
"Our families have known each other for so many years, and our relationship is so good. How could I possibly not accommodate you?"
"It's just that the case is too big; it has already alarmed the provincial authorities."
"I can't suppress it either."
"To avoid disrupting the scene, could you please wait a little longer?"
"Don't worry, I will personally oversee the swift completion of this matter."
"So that you can resume work."
Rong Jingyang: "..."
With the police chief having said all that, what else could he do?
He had no choice but to halt operations!
It was just lunchtime, so Rong Jingyang invited the chief to a meal.
The chief mentioned that people from the provincial government would be arriving, so he invited the provincial leaders as well.
From morning to afternoon, from the police station to the construction site, Rong Jingyang accompanied the officials, running back and forth.
He had seen Du Ruoxin's message but had no time to reply.
And he didn't know how to reply.
