chapter 10

Facing Fang Linlin’s enthusiasm, Zhuo Feng couldn’t directly leave, so he followed her into the pet shop to talk about his troubles.

“I know a little about taking care of pets. I have fed stray dogs before and checked some information. I really need a job urgently, and I like it very much, but I offended someone at school. Every time I found a part-time job, he would ask some hoodlums to harass my boss and make them fire me. You seem to be the only one watching this store, so I’d rather not get you in trouble. Thank you for your kind words.”

Fang Linlin looked at him unexpectedly, and said in disbelief, “You look like a good student, and you’ve got such a cute puppy, you don’t look like the kind of person that offends people.” She looked at the little white fox again. She thought he could be kind to pets and feared that people who would bring trouble to her shouldn’t be a bad student. Then she asked again, “Is it convenient to tell me about the specific situation? I am the owner of this shop, but harassment isn’t a big deal for me. But you have to tell me the truth, so that I can judge whether to hire you.”

Zhuo Feng heard the confidence from her words. She was really unafraid of such things, probably someone with some background. After considering it for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. “A female classmate in our school confessed to me the other day, and I refused. Her childhood friend misunderstood me, thinking I approach the girl actively, so he beat me many times and almost killed the stray dogs I fed. It seems that the two of them had argued, which caused the boy to misunderstand me even more and got a bunch of hoodlums to mess up several of my part-time jobs. That’s how it is. I don’t know how far they would go. If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to be embarrassed. I can try my luck elsewhere.”

Fang Linlin abruptly slapped the table and said, “What the hell?! Trying to kill stray dogs? It’s so vicious! Don’t worry, if what you say is true, come work for me and nobody has to be afraid. Okay, I’ll give you a notice tomorrow. I’ll let you know whether you hire or not. Please leave me a phone number.”

Zhuo Feng didn’t expect her to really hire him. He was surprised. He took out a pen and paper and wrote down a landline number and gave it to her. “I don’t have a mobile phone. I can be at this number after 7 in the evening, just ask for Zhuo Feng. Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it now, thank me when you come to work.” Fang Linlin waved her hand, and put the number in the drawer.

Zhuo Feng looked at the clock on the wall and got up, “I won’t bother you then, I’ll leave first.”

“Leaving?” Fang Linlin looked at the little white fox eagerly, she couldn’t bear it, but it was going to get dark soon, and Zhuo Feng was a student too. she hesitated but didn’t keep him. “Well, be careful on your way and take good care of Xiaobai.”

Zhuo Feng thought it was the little white fox who got him the job and charmed the shop owner, and unconsciously laughed. He returned to the dormitory with the little white fox in his arms. He couldn’t help but say happily, “The job is almost in the bag. I was telling the truth, she doesn’t seem to be afraid at all, there should be a way to deal with those people.”

He didn’t guess wrong. After he left, Fang Linlin called the Mayor’s secretary and asked him to help check the matter. The Mayor’s secretary worked very fast, and the basic information of Zhuo Feng and the entanglements between him, Zhuo Yichen and Fu Xueqing were investigated that night. Fang Linlin has always loved small animals. Seeing that Zhuo Yichen actually almost killed several stray dogs, including the little white fox, her hate towards Zhuo Yichen rose to the extreme, and she also sympathized with the unlucky Zhuo Feng.

In her opinion, this was clearly two rich second generations, Zhuo Yichen and Fu Xueqing, playing games, it’s just that Zhuo Feng was unlucky to get involved in this. Whoever meets these kind of neurotic idiots would vomit blood! She wasn’t a nosy person, but with Zhuo Yichen almost killing the little white fox, she had to meddle! She has never seen a cuter animal than the little white fox, and she couldn’t let it starve with its master!

Fang Linlin was straightforward and does what she says. So, she called the orphanage early the next morning and talked to Zhuo Feng about hiring him for a part-time job. 100 yuan with two meals per day. He goes to the pet shop to feed and bathe pets at noon and in the evening, and helps to arrange the shelves for a total of 4 hours. The only requirement was that he should take the little white fox with him every day. As far as part-time jobs are concerned, this salary was very suitable. After all, it was a relatively cumbersome work.

Zhuo Feng gladly promised to come, went back to the dormitory and picked up the little white fox and kissed her several times. “Xiaobai, you are my lucky star! Everything has changed for me since I met you! How can you be so smart and find me such a good part-time job? The pet shop isn’t far away and not tiring, and I like small animals, which is a hundred times better than my previous job! The boss will also give us two meals, so we can save all the money and rent a house! Also, the boss can really handle Zhuo Yichen. I can’t believe you helped me so much!”

This was the first time that the little white fox had seen him looking so happy. Taking off the appearance of maturity and stability, the sunny vigor of an 18-year-old boy was revealed. This was what Zhuo Feng should look like, instead of becoming more and more taciturn and losing hope in life because of the hardship of life and the suppression of classmates. She hopped around on the bed and shared her joy with Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng threw himself at her and rolled around with her, burying his face in her fluffy fluff, and closing his eyes, he said, “Thankfully, I have you to stay with me through this unhappy time.”

[I will always accompany you in the future!] The little white fox rubbed his cheek in response, but only made a soft barking sound as if she was spoiling him, making Zhuo Feng laugh again.

“Sometimes I wonder if you’re a demon. How can you be such a sensible puppy?!” Zhuo Feng dabbed the tip of her nose with a smile. “But even if you are a demon, I wouldn’t be afraid. With you by my side, I’ll never be alone again.”

On this day, when Zhuo Feng went to school, he was very energetic. At noon, he hurried out of school and took a bus to the pet shop. The little white fox has already squeezed the time to go by herself. Fang Linlin loves her, and deeply feels that it was wise to hire Zhuo Feng. She directly ordered four dishes and one soup to celebrate the first day of working with Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng recognized the logo on the food, the meal was at least 400 yuan. He wanted to say something, but saw the little white fox jumping on the table and staring at the dishes. Fang Linlin originally wanted to bring canned meat and dog food to the little white fox. When she saw her on the table, she said with a funny laugh, “Do you want to eat this too? Zhuo Feng what do you usually feed her? I gave her several kinds of dog food to choose from, but she doesn’t even want to look at it.”

Zhuo Feng touched the little white fox and said, “She loves to eat the same food as people.”

“Ah? That won’t do! Many things can’t be eaten by puppies, especially some dishes that are very salty. Didn’t you check the information?” Fang Linlin stared at the white fox, feeling incredulous at how healthy and fit she was.

Zhuo Feng felt embarrassed, and he touched his nose. “I know, but she likes delicious food. Especially roast chicken and smoked chicken with heavy taste. Boss, don’t worry. Xiaobai can eat these. Maybe she’s special.”

The little white fox was still looking at the hesitating Fang Linlin, and anxiously patted the table with her little paws. She sniffed forward and urged them to eat quickly. Fang Linlin was delighted at the sight of it and gave her a piece of meat to try out. She saw her chew and swallow it quickly, as if she really loved it, then she felt a little relieved and ushered Zhuo Feng to start eating.

Zhuo Feng placed a small bowl in front of the white fox, from time to time he would put in some food, the little white fox was satisfied, obediently lying there with her head bowed and kept eating. You know, she has been suffering with Zhuo Feng these days. She has been eating steamed buns, noodles, and pickles. She was simply delighted to eat this kind of delicious food again, that she almost wanted to cry. She didn’t know why, there wasn’t even a place to hunt. Otherwise, she would have had made plenty of food and clothing by herself!

Just when she was enjoying the delicious food, 001 spoke in her mind: [The task is completed. A lucky charm will be rewarded, and the host can use it at any time. At the same time, you have obtained 3 wish points for the task. 1 wish point for Zhuo Feng to feel relaxed and happy, and 1 wish point for indirectly hitting Zhuo Yichen. At present, the total points are 28 points. Please keep up the effort.]

[28 points. 72 more and I would be able to speak! Keep up the good work!] The little white fox was excited and ate very fast.

Fang Linlin was afraid that she would choke, so she gave her a bowl of soup and told her: “Slowly, slowly, no one is going to steal it from you. Come have some soup.”

The little white fox looked up, took a sniff and turned to one side. Fang Linlin wondered why. Zhuo Feng took the bowl and picked out all the coriander inside, explaining, “She doesn’t eat coriander, I’ll just pick them out.”

Sure enough, when he finished picking them out, the little white fox would drink it. Fang Linlin looked at Xiaobai’s bowl and then at Zhuo Feng’s bowl, and said with a smile, “It’s true that pets are very similar to their owners. Even their preferences are exactly the same, and they both don’t eat coriander.”

Zhuo Feng didn’t specifically correct the owner’s and pet’s remarks, but waved his hand and replied, “It’s a coincidence, there are many differences. Xiaobai has her own preferences.”

After that, Fang Linlin saw that Zhuo Feng picked out all the pepper from the dishes for the little white fox, or the little white fox wouldn’t eat a single bite. While Zhuo Feng picked out the carrot shreds for himself, so they didn’t have to throw them away, they’re just interchangeable and quite complementary. Seeing the tacit understanding between them, Fang Linlin envied him, biting her chopsticks and looking at the little white fox, wondering if she could give birth to a nest of cute little guys if she found a match for her.

But this little one was only over a month old. It’s a long way off, so forget it…

The little white fox sneezed inexplicably, looked around, found nothing wrong, and ate happily. The sky was the limit, the food was the greatest. There’s nothing to be afraid of when it comes to food!

The hoodlums who watched Zhuo Feng saw that he had found a job again, and thought happily that they could make money again. After reporting to Zhuo Yichen, they began to take turns to call the pet shop to complain, but they didn’t know that this time they were really going to kick the iron plate.
