chapter 9

Zhuo Yichen and Fu Xueqing didn’t go to school, and they didn’t see anyone for several days, while Zhuo Feng went to school and left school on time every day, and listened carefully to the lectures, which disappointed all the gossiping students. However, the school was calm, and everyone was absorbed in studying, which made the teachers very happy. Worried that this incident would affect Zhuo Feng’s performance, the class teacher would often ask him to answer questions and talked with him more. He was relieved when Zhuo Feng was in a stable condition and told him to prepare for the math competition.

However, in fact, Zhuo Feng was very upset because he had no income for several days. Before, he worked as a waiter at noon and helped two stores unload and move things at night, earning about 100 yuan a day. Just enough for his tuition and living expenses. But now he had no income, and all his savings would be spent. How could he be in the mood to prepare for the competition?

Zhuo Yichen’s lackeys were really dedicated. When they got the order, they asked several brothers to watch at Zhuo Feng. When they saw him working, they called the work-place owner to complain. Complaints of incompetence and harassment. The annoyed bosses all fired Zhuo Feng. It wasn’t easy to find a job under the age of 18, and now there was a real sense of urgency about it.

In fact, the little white fox was also annoyed. Those lackeys brought a few others, so there were many hoodlums. They could be found everywhere, and with so many complaining phone calls, she had to wander around the city to find another way. In the past few days, she waited for Zhuo Feng to go to school, and went around every corner of the city, observing people of various occupations and learning everything about them. She found that although it was difficult to listen to the knowledge in Zhuo Feng’s class, those subjects wouldn’t be used in normal everyday life, except for computers and mobile phones, which have not been thoroughly understood. She had almost completely understood the life of modern people!

After knowing it, she began to look for people with identity in this city. Isn’t it because of a little money and a little position that Zhuo Yichen was so unscrupulous? It’s said that some people could get away with murder. It’s not that the law that can’t restrain them. It’s simply because they found a more powerful backer. Since ancient times, people couldn’t fight against officials. No matter how rich the Zhuo family is, it’s only a businessman. Can’t she find an official?!

She stayed in the municipal building for half a day, followed the Mayor, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and others, to understand the situation. Finally, she found that the Mayor had a strong personality and seemed to have a background in the capital. The most important thing was that he loves his daughter, and his daughter was a downright fluffy lover!

After repeatedly confirming the characters and temperaments of the Mayor’s family, the little white fox happily ran to the pet shop opened by the Mayor’s daughter, lying on the glass door and shouting “Oww Oww” softly.

The Mayor’s daughter was holding a little Pomeranian when she looked up and saw the little white fox, she was shocked. She ran out and picked it up. She looked around in surprise and said, “Why are you alone? Where is your owner?”

The little white fox rubbed against her hand and hummed twice. After the Mayor’s daughter was sure that there was really no owner outside, she took it into the store, raised her two front legs and looked at her small appearance. “How can there be such a beautiful Pomeranian? You are going to look better than them when you grow up! So cute! How can your owner have the heart to leave you behind? I’ll help you scold them if they look for you later. If they don’t want to raise you and simply sell you to me, I will definitely give you the best in the world!”

The Mayor’s daughter, who’s both a fluffy-lover and an appearance-lover, can’t take her eyes off the white fox. She felt that all the pets in the store were eclipsed. Her hands were holding the soft paws of the little white fox uncontrollably. She simply loved it to pieces and couldn’t even care less about the previously rare little Pomeranian.

From the Mayor’s daughter’s chatter, the little white fox knew that her name was Fang Linlin. She just came back from studying abroad, but she’s terrible at studying and not interested in anything else, so she quit before graduation and opened this pet shop. She’s only 20 years old this year.

20 years old was good. It was easier for her to understand Zhuo Feng’s situation, and the fox can see that there was a recruiting poster in front of the store, which was definitely the most suitable job for Zhuo Feng! So, the little white fox tried her best to play with Fang Linlin for an afternoon, and Fang Linlin was very kind to her. All the pet toys in the shop were piled up beside her, and she was fed a variety of snacks. One person and one fox could get along extremely well.

At the end of school time, the little white fox suddenly jumped to one side and gave Fang Linlin two soft barks. Fang Linlin smiled and said, “Are you tired of playing? Let’s have a rest. How about watching a movie? There are many movies about dogs and kittens.”

A movie? The little white fox watched her pick up a tablet, and her heart tickled. But she had more important things to do, so she couldn’t play with these things and lose her focus! The little white fox turned to run to the door of the store, barked twice, pushed the door open and ran away quickly. Fang Linlin got a fright. She left the tablet and rushed out of the pet shop anxiously, but she couldn’t find the little white fox. She was worried that it couldn’t find its owner and regretted that it wasn’t her pet. Her mood was very complicated.

The little white fox was so happy that she rushed all the way to school. When she saw Zhuo Feng’s figure, she jumped up and fell into his arms.

Zhuo Feng paused, rubbing her little head and laughing, “Why did you pick me up from school today? Are you hungry?”

The little white fox shook her head, jumped to the ground and ran two steps forward, then looked back at him. When Zhuo Feng followed behind, she ran two steps and looked back again. Zhuo Feng asked doubtfully, “do you want me to follow you?”

The little white fox’s eyes lit up, she immediately nodded and then ran to a bus stop. Zhuo Feng didn’t expect her to even ride on a bus, so he was quite intrigued. When the bus arrived, he picked her up and got on the bus. Fortunately, she was very small and the driver didn’t stop them. Zhuo Feng looked at the direction of the bus, bowed his head and asked in her ear, “Xiaobai, where do you want to take me? If it’s to play, then forget it. I want to go to the construction site to see if I can work as a coolie.”

The little white fox hurriedly shook her head, saying that he was not allowed to work as a coolie. Then her little paws pointed forward and rubbed against his palm. Although Zhuo Feng didn’t understand what she was going to do, he somehow understands that the little white fox was not going to play, but really had something to do. He was curious in his heart, but he couldn’t talk to the little white fox. He couldn’t help feeling regret and sighed in a low voice. “If only you could talk.”

The little white fox raised her ears and shook her big furry tail. [I can speak, but it will take a while.] She asked 001 in her heart: [How many wish points does it take to talk like a human?]

[The cultivation of the host is already very close, only 100 points are needed. Because the host’s companionship and care in recent days made Zhuo Feng no longer lonely and had the warmth of family, you gained an extra 5 wish points, and the current wish points are at 23 points.]

The little white fox’s eyes turned, [As long as I make Zhuo Feng happy, I can get wish points? Great! If so, maybe I can talk in a few months!]

The little white fox rolled happily with her tail in her arms, and Zhuo Feng scratched her pink belly in passing, so comfortable that she didn’t want to get up. A person and a fox sat by the window, seemingly in a world of their own, surrounded by a warmth that was very noticeable. A girl next to him couldn’t help but take a picture, staring at the little white fox and saying, “is this puppy yours? It’s so cute! Can I hold it?”

Zhuo Feng shook his head without hesitation, and said politely, “I’m sorry, Xiaobai is afraid of strangers and doesn’t like being held by others.”

“Ah, it doesn’t matter.” The girl was a little disappointed, and the guy sitting next to her, who seemed to be her boyfriend, saw her and asked, “This student, can you sell the puppy to us? You make an offer, and we will take good care of it.”

Zhuo Feng put away his smile and frowned. He was very unhappy that he associated the white fox with a price, saying, “Xiaobai is my family, you want to buy a dog, go elsewhere.”

Just when the little white fox saw the pet shop, she grabbed Zhuo Feng’s sleeve and tugged at it. Zhuo Feng grasped her meaning and got up and got off with her.

By the roadside, the little white fox called Zhuo Feng and ran towards the pet shop. Zhuo Feng was surprised to see the recruitment poster at the door. “Did you bring me to apply for a job? Do you understand the words?” After that, he felt that it was impossible, and he denied it. “You must have heard what others said, so you brought me here, right?”

The little white fox nodded, raised her little claws and pointed inside, urging him to hurry in. Zhuo Feng saw the situation inside, and said in a difficult way, “Forget it, those hoodlums are not good people. It’s fine if they just call and harass me, but this shop is a girl’s place. If they get any bad ideas, won’t I cause her harm? Thanks, Xiaobai, I’d better check out the construction site.”

The little white fox quickly grabbed his trouser legs and pulled hard into the shop to prevent him from leaving. At this time Fangs Linlin noticed the movement outside the door had come over, as soon as she saw Xiaobai, she suddenly asked in surprise: “You’re back? Why did you suddenly run away just now?”

Then she looked at Zhuo Feng and asked hesitantly, “Student, are you the owner of this puppy?”

Zhuo Feng picked up the little white fox and said, “We’re family. Has Xiaobai been here before? Sorry to bother you, but we should go now.”

“Eh? Wait, wait, wait. Did Xiaobai bring you here on purpose? Does she want toys or snacks? Or is there something else?” It’s best to stay, Fang Linlin thought eagerly in her heart.

Zhuo Feng looked at the little white fox and awkwardly pointed to the poster. “Well, I’ve been looking for a job lately, and I’ve been reading a lot of job postings, and she might have remembered, and as soon as you posted this here, she brought me here.”

“Are you still at school? Looking for a job? Are you 18 years old?” Fang Linlin was surprised, and immediately thought that if she asks Zhuo Feng to work here, she can see the little white fox every day. Suddenly, she laughed, “Actually, my shop is newly opened, and I am going to ask a clerk who likes pets to take care of it for me. As long as they are patient, caring and careful. Can you do it?”
