Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Pre-school Registration (2/5)
This place is large, with many deliveries coming in and out, and many people picking up goods; everything is done with proof of documentation. The warehouse here also doesn’t have electricity, so there’s no fire hazard. The guards patrol regularly, and although there are many bugs, it’s actually quite safe.
Mei Mengzhen has always had a batch of inventory in her space, which she sent to the large warehouse first. The large warehouse is so big that it’s unthinkable to fill completely. She also added a batch of goods that she had quickly prepared to the small warehouse. The Spatial Mall’s fixed harvest function is very fast, so by the time she got home from the airport, the small warehouse was directly filled, and the large warehouse was also more than half full.
After everyone had rested for a bit, the large warehouse was completely filled up.
Once the warehouse was full, Mei Mengzhen notified everyone, and the work had to start.
Although they had just come back from a trip, everyone was not negligent about their responsibilities. After putting away their luggage, Yan Keke took all the idle people to their warehouse, including Wang Qiuhe’s Qi Yongwang. As for Lai Xixi and Tian Sha, they were workers, not idle at all.
Meanwhile, Fan Tianyu drove them to the warehouse. Looking at the warehouse packed to the brim, Fan Tianyu felt quite emotional, "So the delivery guys can be this efficient."
"You make it sound like they’re usually very inefficient."
"No, it’s just that usually whatever you ask for they don’t have, like you call for some goods and they come back with ’we don’t have it’."
Mei Mengzhen just pursed her lips and didn’t bother to talk to him.
During this trip to the warehouse, He Yiran and Fu Rui were also present. As He Yiran counted as a shareholder of Xiyuan, and thus of the foundation, it only made sense for her to come and keep an eye on things, showing sincerity now that she knew about it.
But Fu Rui was there purely out of interest; as she said, she had never seen such a setup before.
This left He Yiran with nothing to say. The Fu Family definitely had this kind of setup, but given Fu Hao’s protectiveness over Fu Rui, he really wouldn’t let her worry about these matters.
Then something even more speechless happened. When the rescue vehicle Yan Keke found came along with her car, Mei Mengzhen didn’t know what to say because the truck prominently displayed two large banners. One at the front of the vehicle read "Disaster Relief Vehicle", and another on the left side of the truck, as long as the truck’s cargo box, read "Urgent Relief for the People of Southern City from the Mei Mengzhen Charity Organization". Mei Mengzhen realized that Yan Keke really had a lot of time on her hands.
Southern City was the city in need of disaster relief this time, but what was with the banners? "In just a short while, where did you get these banners from?"
"I had them made urgently. Pay extra money and they can be done in less than half an hour. But that’s not the point. We can’t help people without telling anyone, right? Besides, it’s not us who are helping, it’s the foundation. How can I account for this without banners? Plus, I have to take photos. The key point is that I still have to pay you for these materials."
Mei Mengzhen glanced at her and said no more.
Loading the supplies onto the truck took some time, and by the time everything was on board, it was already 4 in the afternoon. The driver knew that these were disaster relief supplies and didn’t dare to delay, so he drove off immediately.
Of course, with so much cargo, it wasn’t possible to just let the driver deliver it all by himself; someone responsible had to follow. As Mei Mengchen was about to start school, she definitely didn’t have time to go. Thus, the trip to Southern City was entrusted to the Fan siblings.
Fan Tianyu and Fan Tianhua were very reliable, not uttering a word and drove away with the large truck.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Qiuhe, who had been quiet, started to stir up trouble, "Brother Tianyu and Sister Tianhua haven’t told their aunt about this, right? Will the aunt even allow it? Should I tell her about it?"
Mei Mengzhen shot her a glance; this person was likely trying to retaliate for being threatened by the siblings at the airport. But there was no way she would let things unfold like this, "Qiuhe, do you not want to go to school anymore? Or do you not want to learn makeup?"
Mei Mengzhen’s eyes showed no emotion, as if a machine devoid of feelings spoke the cold words.
Mei Mengzhen’s words might not seem threatening, but the look in her eyes was enough to make Wang Qiuhe afraid. It wasn’t about not being able to go to school; she was simply terrified of Mei Mengzhen’s eyes.
Wang Qiuhe quickly shut her mouth as Mei Mengzhen continued, "There’s only one week left before school starts, and you should be registering too. I’ll be registering Chenchen the day after tomorrow, you better contact your little aunt. If she’s coming to Jiangcheng, tell her to ask for leave in advance. Otherwise, if you miss the registration date, you won’t be able to attend school this year, and you’ll have to work for Keke for another year for free."
Every school has different registration dates, and there’s only a three or four-day gap between Mei Mengchen and Wang Qiuhe’s registration dates.
Of course, these dates are for local district students. If you’re a transfer student, you need to find out the process earlier. But for their registration, just bringing the household registration book is enough.
And in the year 2009, registration indeed wasn’t as complicated as later years, there was no written or interview tests, just show the household registration at the school, register, pay the book fee, and leave with a receipt from the school. With that, you were enrolled.
Jiangcheng to Southern City is a two-day drive. Just as Mei Mengzhen had finished registering her younger brother, she received a call from Fan Tianyu.
There was indeed a shortage of materials in Southern City, and the food and water they sent really resolved an urgent need. Fan Tianyu’s call was to inquire when the next batch of supplies would arrive.
Mei Mengzhen replied, "They’ll be there tomorrow. The trucks were dispatched yesterday; there are four trucks in total, all loaded with food and water, which should be enough for a while. I told Brother Mengcheng to go with the trucks, and Brother Yongwang went along too. You should stay one more night. After the delivery, all of you can come back together."
Fan Tianyu naturally agreed, "Okay, did Chenchen get registered?"
"Registered, registered, don’t worry about Chenchen."
After a pause, Fan Tianyu on the other end of the phone asked, "What about Qiuhe? Is she registered? I’m telling you, don’t go with her yourself. Just wait until I come back. I’m really afraid those in-laws would pressure you to pay their tuition fees. Qiuhe is, after all, a member of the little aunt’s family. Be careful, when we were delivering supplies last time, we were not very considerate in our conversation. I’m afraid Qiuhe might have noticed something."
He only started to realize this after arriving in Southern City, but by then it was too late to regret it, so he was quite worried for Mei Mengzhen.
"You don’t need to worry about that. The big aunt is also coming along. Oh, you’ll be back in a couple of days, right? Did you tell the big aunt about your trip to Southern City?"
