NOVPUBChapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Thoughtful_1 Chapter 1109 -1109: Thoughtful_1 This is all profit without any initial investment.
Not to mention those expensive ingredients.
They are purchased through Pingla’s connections at cost price but of higher quality, which is a great approach.
Luckily, those who come to study at Pingla are mostly conscientious.
And they don’t lack these little resources and bargains.
If they do get caught by Pingla, they would feel nothing but embarrassed.
Besides, Pingla itself has its own set of governance measures.
...
They facilitate convenience for the students, but they also do not knowingly allow people to take advantage of them.
The tuition at Pingla Academy is high, but it provides services that are commensurate with the tuition cost.
Throughout the trip, Adrian Zhekova talked about everything he could remember about Pingla Academy to Cindy Clarke.
However, after all, he does not directly manage Pingla Academy.
Samson Zhekova certainly knows more about it than he does.
But fortunately, during routine meetings, Samson Zhekova also reports to Pingla’s headquarters.
Billy Houston often goes there as well.
Pingla Culinary Academy is the organizer of the Pingla Competition, so naturally Billy Houston is also part of Pingla Academy.
Because of these frequent reports, Adrian Zhekova’s understanding of Pingla Academy has never been interrupted.
So if Cindy Clarke asks him a question that he hadn’t thought of, he could explain it in detail.
They talked all the way until they arrived at the entrance of the Pingla Academy.
The Academy was built early, when the suburban land of Belfard was not so precious and crowded.
At this point, you could see the foresight and vision of the Zhekova family.
They bought a large piece of suburban land early on.
The plot was big enough to build seven or eight large residential areas.
Yet such a huge area was all used by the Zhekova family to build Pingla Academy.
No wonder it can’t be moved into the city.
There really isn’t enough space in the city for Pingla Academy to build in such a way.
Yet, surprisingly, the entrance to such a massive school wasn’t as grand as Cindy Clarke had expected.
It was just a simple plaque with the words: Pingla Culinary Academy.
The whole school is built in a Chinese style.
The school wall looks like the wall of an ancient mansion, with a grey surface that shows traces of each brick and tile.
The tall buildings inside are also in Chinese architecture style.
They may be tall, but they never lose their Chinese characteristics.
From a distance, if no one told her, Cindy Clarke would have thought this was some kind of ancient city scenic area.
The entrance to the school isn’t very noticeable either, just a commonplace doorway.
It’s not as grand as the gates of the scenic area.
Saying that the architecture of the entire academy is grand and impressive, people passing by would have to pause and ask if it was some forgotten scenic spot.
The entrance of the academy is simply too low-key and unnoticeable.
It’s so unnoticeable that you might not even notice it if you walk past it.
The design of this academy really stands out.
However, Cindy Clarke really likes this thoughtfulness.
Because the entrance is so small, there is no room for cars to enter.
This is to prevent everyone from creating chaos by driving in recklessly.
Adrian Zhekova parked the car outside and got out.
Out came Billy Houston from inside the gate.
Cindy Clarke didn’t expect him to be at the academy on a Sunday.
Adrian Zhekova explained: “Since we’re here for a tour, we should have someone familiar with the school as a guide.
I rarely come here, so if I were to guide you, my presentation wouldn’t be as good.”
Naturally, Adrian Zhekova couldn’t call in Samson Zhekova on a weekend like this.
He had asked Billy Houston to arrange for a staff member on duty at the school to be their guide.
He never intended to have Billy Houston come over.
Of course, there should be teachers and other staff on duty at the school on weekends.
Unexpectedly, in order to gain favor in front of Adrian Zhekova, Billy Houston personally came.
But it’s all well and good that he came.
It’s rather apt.
Especially for questions about things closer to the decision-making level, Billy Houston’s answers would be more detailed.
Otherwise, the ordinary staff might not know about certain things.
“CEO, CEO’s Wife.” Billy said hurriedly, “Young Master.”
“Mr.
Houston.” Cindy Clarke greeted with a smile.
“Hello Uncle.” The little guy also politely called.
Billy’s face was beaming.
Although Adrian Zhekova is a tough guy, he is actually pretty good at educating children.
Look at Little Morgan, how cute and polite he is.
There’s no sign of unruliness or spoiled behaviour, or him turning into a troublesome brat.
Billy is also of the age where he should be a grandfather soon.
His son is in college, and if he marries early, he may have grandchildren in a few years.
“I didn’t expect you to come personally.” Cindy Clarke said with a smile.
“I was afraid that if the staff came, they might not be able to explain some things clearly.
Moreover, in their nervousness while hosting you, they might not be able to speak fluently.
It’s better that I do it myself.” Billy said.
Stuttering due to nervousness would still be considered good.
If they happened to be one of those who were too overzealous to please and ended up doing something stupid that displeased Adrian Zhekova, that would be even worse.
“I feel bad for bothering you on your day off.” Cindy Clarke said apologetically.
“No, not at all.
You’re too kind.” Billy quickly said, “I was already here in the school.
This is just a coincidence.”
Even if it wasn’t, he still had to say it was.
Understanding this, Cindy Clarke didn’t say anything more.
“Let’s go in.” Billy said.
“Can I take a picture first?” The little guy asked looking up.
Seeing all three adults looking at him, the little guy said: “This place is so beautiful, this wall will make a great background for pictures.”
The little guy likes to share his life on his IG stories, and is fond of posting pictures.
Although he’s quite young, his pictures are very good-looking and have a web celebrity feel to them.
Anyway, they had nothing urgent to do today.
Cindy Clarke readily agreed.
She took several pictures as per the little guy’s request, letting him choose the best one.
Only then did the four of them enter the gate.
There was a shuttle bus stopped inside the gate.
It was the kind of battery-powered vehicle without a roof, like those at the airport.
A small vehicle with seven to eight seats.
“Are you going to drive this?” Adrian Zhekova asked.
“Yes, I’m going to drive.
It’s easier to stop along the way.” Billy said, “Our school is really too big.
It’s too tiring to walk it.”
Adults wouldn’t have a problem walking, but little Morgan certainly wouldn’t be able to.
“That’s thoughtful of you.” Cindy Clarke laughed.
Seeing the shuttle, she herself breathed a sigh of relief. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Everyone got on the shuttle and Billy Houston pointed to the side of the road and said, “We don’t allow cars inside the campus.
Most of our students are from well-off families.
If we didn’t ban it, they would be driving luxury and sports cars around, creating chaos, and it could be dangerous.
So, we just decided not to allow any vehicles, including those of school leaders.
All vehicles must be parked in the designated parking lot outside the campus.”
