Chapter 814: IB Education
A vast collection of urban fiction works to satisfy your reading preferences.
At 2 p.m., Zhang Yun drove Huang Xiaochuan to the Southeast Asia United World Academy, where the two children studied. This school covers all levels of education from kindergarten to high school, which is what people often call one-stop education.
As this school is a world-class IB school that recruits students from all over the world, and its students consistently achieve top IB scores globally, obtaining a place from this school is extremely difficult. It often requires booking two to three years in advance, and students must also meet a series of requirements and possess certain comprehensive qualities. In short, the competition is fierce.
The so-called IB program, short for International Baccalaureate Certificate Program, is a high-level international education program designed for students aged 3 to 19.
Just by listening to the school's ten educational goals, you can tell how impressive this school is.
Actively explore, possess extensive knowledge, think diligently, communicate effectively, adhere to principles, have a broad mind, know how to care, dare to try new things, develop comprehensively, and reflect promptly.
With such an educational philosophy, it's clear what kind of students this school produces.
The school is well-organized. Since most students come from all over the world, they mostly board at the school, and there aren't many local parents who come to pick up their children from school each day.
When school is over, a teacher will take the children out and hand them over to their parents who have come to pick them up.
Huang Xiaochuan saw his twin sons from afar, his eyes filled with love. It had been a long time since he had seen them, and both boys had grown quite a bit taller. Since they were wearing the same school uniform, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't tell which one was Yawen and which one was Luca.
Luca and Yavin also saw their father, but instead of cheering and rushing to him like other children, they stood behind their teacher, quietly waiting for him to complete the handover procedures. However, the excitement and joy in their eyes were impossible to hide.
After the handover procedures were completed, Luca and Aven excitedly rushed into their father's arms.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Huang Xiaochuan held his two sons tightly in his arms, while their mother, Zhang Yun, watched the three of them with a smile on her face.
After the father and his two sons had established a good relationship, the two brothers quickly greeted their mother.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
Zhang Yun pointed to the car and said, "Get in!"
On the way, the two brothers eagerly told their father about their stories at school and the friends they had made.
Yawen asked, "Dad, can you take us out to sea this time?"
Luca looked at his father with anticipation.
Seeing the expectant looks on the two brothers' faces, Huang Xiaochuan agreed without hesitation: "Of course!"
The brothers were even happier to receive an affirmative answer.
Back at their home near the botanical garden, the two brothers each took one of Huang Xiaochuan's hands and led him to the terrace.
This place resembles a small astronomical observatory, with an electrically operated dome protecting several telescopes of varying sizes.
This is still the brothers' studio. The most eye-catching thing is a star chart and various planetary photos taken by the brothers with a telescope.
Photos of the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and some galaxies, from near to far.
"Wow!" Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. These two children were only nine years old!
It must be admitted that Zhang Yun has raised these two children very well.
With the help of the two brothers, Huang Xiaochuan used their Tianwang Telescope to observe the moon. The moon that suddenly appeared closer was not the same as the moon in the legends at all. Chang'e, the moon rabbit, and Wu Gang chopping down the tree could not be seen at all. The surface of the moon was full of craters, like a pockmarked face.
The brothers' daily schedules are packed, and today's time for the father and sons to spend together quickly came to an end. Under Zhang Yun's supervision, Yawen and Luca had to complete some homework assigned by the school. It wasn't the traditional paper-based kind, but rather the kind that the school encouraged students to explore history, geography, humanities, science, and other fields on their own. Of course, it wasn't required to select all of them; choosing one was enough. If they were truly outstanding, the school wouldn't object to them selecting all of them.
"Let's go! Let's go to the tea room!" Zhang Yun called to Huang Xiaochuan as they headed towards the tea room.
Huang Xiaochuan nodded and headed to the tea room under Zhang Yun's guidance.
The tea room is set up outdoors in a pavilion, complete with a tea table and tea set. The gauze curtains hanging around the pavilion flutter gently in the breeze, creating a very elegant and tranquil atmosphere.
After sitting down, Huang Xiaochuan exclaimed, "The environment here is really nice!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but give Zhang Yun a deep look. He understood the implication in Zhang Yun's words; she still harbored some resentment towards him for dismissing her from her position as CEO of Changhong Capital back then. However, he didn't show it on his face at all.
He took the silver kettle from Zhang Yun and placed it on the small clay stove.
Zhang Yun knew this man's tea-making skills, so she let him take over the rosewood tea table.
It must be said that Huang Xiaochuan's tea-brewing skills are quite high; his movements are as smooth as flowing water.
After a while, a cup of tea was placed in front of Zhang Yun.
"I'm just offering this as a token of my appreciation! Please!" With that, Huang Xiaochuan picked up the cup of tea in front of him and began to drink.
Zhang Yun didn't pick up her teacup, but instead asked directly, "Speak! What do you want? You wouldn't come to me unless it's something important."
She knew this man too well, and Huang Xiaochuan knew her just as well.
So Huang Xiaochuan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I need to borrow some funds from you, and I also need to transfer them to the United States through your channels."
Zhang Yun understood immediately; it seemed this man had discovered another opportunity and was starting to make his move.
She knew the man sitting across from her all too well—his abilities, his knowledge, his judgment. More than just knowing him, she trusted him implicitly. The reasons were simple: first, he was an absolute powerhouse; second, he was the biological father of her two sons.
She took a graceful sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "I need to know why."
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at her, then waved to Gao Song, who had been waiting in the distance.
Gao Song immediately grabbed a briefcase and jogged over.
After Huang Xiaochuan had Gao Song retrieve the confidentiality agreement, he sent Gao Song back to his original position.
"I'll tell you after you sign this confidentiality agreement."
Zhang Yun picked up the confidentiality agreement, glanced at it briefly, and then signed her name on it.
