Chapter 51

Upon arriving at the destination, Zhu Jianhua took out his credentials to explain their purpose, and only then did the security guard let them in.

Upon entering, Su Jing realized that the interview location was actually the filming site. There were many people inside, with cameras set up everywhere. A middle-aged man with a beard was in charge of the entire scene, and when he called for a cut, the entire set fell silent. In the center of all the cameras, a tall man and a stunningly beautiful woman with long, flowing hair were talking face to face.

Su Jing's gaze immediately locked onto the long-haired beauty, unable to look away. His heart skipped a beat. Guo Biting was indeed beautiful! And seeing her in person was at least ten times more impactful than on screen.

"Director, the cat you invited has arrived," a young man whispered to the middle-aged director, Wang Lie, during a break in filming.

"Everyone, take a short break," Wang Lie said, his eyes lighting up. He immediately put down his work and walked over to Su Jing and Zhu Jianhua. This cat had a significant role in the upcoming scenes, so he was very concerned. This was an animal-themed TV series, and the cuteness of the pets could significantly affect the ratings.

"Let's go take a look," Jin Shijia, Qin Xulan, Guo Biting, and others followed. Most of them loved pets, especially Guo Biting. It was said that at one point, she had over twenty dogs, nine cats, and hundreds of birds at home. In 2006, at the age of 22, Guo Biting picked up her first stray dog from the street and brought it home. Since then, she couldn't stop herself. Whenever she saw a pitiful, injured bird or animal, she would bring it home to care for it. Over seven years, she not only adopted many stray dogs, cats, and birds but also ducks, rabbits, flying squirrels, and hedgehogs, turning her home into a small zoo. Her actions were driven by love, unlike Su Jing, who had ulterior motives.

"What a beautiful little cat."

"Indeed, it's very beautiful, but is it really a tabby cat?"

"Young man, can I hold this cat?"

Seeing Xiao Li, many people were charmed. Director Wang Lie's eyes also lit up. Although he had seen it in online videos, the cat was even more beautiful and adorable in person. The previously chosen red Persian cat was also good, but this one was clearly better. Of course, he didn't make a decision immediately; he still needed to see if the cat could cooperate with the performance.

Only one person in the room didn't look at Xiao Li but stared at Su Jing. That person was the yellow-haired young man, Qin Xulan. He squinted his 180-degree myopic eyes, and the more he looked, the more he felt that Su Jing resembled the "miracle person" he had seen yesterday evening. He felt a surge of excitement but wasn't sure because he hadn't seen clearly from a distance. To avoid making a fool of himself, he decided to observe for a while.

"Hello, I'm Director Wang Lie," Wang Lie said, appearing very approachable as he extended his hand.

"I'm Su Jing, Xiao Li's owner," Su Jing shook hands with Wang Lie.

"I saw a finger dance video online. Can you perform it now?" Wang Lie asked.

"Of course," Su Jing smiled, lifting Xiao Li with his palm and moving his fingers rhythmically. Xiao Li nimbly stepped on his fingers, creating a highly coordinated and visually appealing performance.

"Wow, it's real. I always thought that video was fake."

"Damn, this little cat is so cute. I want one too."

"Can it perform any other tricks?" Wang Lie asked with great interest.

"Of course," Su Jing nodded and gestured to Xiao Li. Xiao Li suddenly circled around Su Jing's neck, then jumped onto Zhu Jianhua's shoulder, circled around his neck, and jumped back to Su Jing.

Everyone couldn't help but applaud, thinking it was over, but it was just the beginning.

"Walk backward."

"Do a handstand walk."

Under Su Jing's command, Xiao Li walked on Su Jing's outstretched arm, then walked backward, and finally did a handstand walk, hanging upside down to crawl back.

Next, Su Jing placed Xiao Li on the ground and walked forward. Xiao Li weaved between Su Jing's feet, moving in perfect harmony...

The dazzling performance lasted for three minutes, leaving everyone, including Zhu Jianhua, in awe. He had no idea Xiao Li could do all this.

"Xiao Li, go pick a flower for the goddess," Su Jing suddenly instructed.

Everyone was stunned, eyes wide open. Zhu Jianhua also looked at Su Jing in surprise, thinking Su Jing was playing a big joke. While the acrobatic performance was impressive and could be seen in the Moscow Cat Circus, it wasn't entirely out of the ordinary.

However, could a cat really pick a flower and give it to a goddess?

Cats are not dogs and don't understand human commands as well. While they can be trained to perform acrobatics, which can be even more impressive than dogs, they are far less adept at understanding and cooperating with humans. A dog might be able to pick a flower, but have you ever seen a cat do it?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Li suddenly jumped off Su Jing, ran to a nearby table, and leaped onto it, biting a flower from a vase. It was a lily.

"Not that one, get the red rose next to it," Su Jing said.

"Meow." Xiao Li immediately dropped the lily, bit a red rose, and walked back.

"Give it to the goddess," Su Jing pointed to Guo Biting, and Xiao Li happily ran over, stopping in front of her. He looked up at her with his big, watery eyes and meowed twice.

"Thank you!" Guo Biting's eyes curved into a smile as she squatted down to take the rose, then picked up Xiao Li, rubbing her cheek against him. "You are so cute! I want to kiss you."

And she really did kiss Xiao Li on the face, making Su Jing feel a bit jealous.

"This is... simply... unbelievable," Wang Lie was speechless. Originally, he just needed the cat to cooperate with some filming, and even using food as a lure would have been fine, as the footage could be edited. But the result far exceeded his expectations. No editing was needed; just filming it would be enough to shock the nation. He even considered changing the title from "Miracle Dog" to "Miracle Cat."

The others were also swallowing hard, their expressions dazed. This cat had almost shattered their worldview.

At this moment, Zhu Jianhua truly understood the meaning of Su Jing's words. As long as the director wasn't blind, Xiao Li would definitely be chosen. After all, such a miraculous cat would be chosen even by a blind person.

"Haha, you must be the miracle person I saw yesterday. It's definitely you. You must be a trainer, right?" At this moment, Qin Xulan pointed at Su Jing and laughed heartily, as if a decades-old grievance was about to be cleared.
