Dream Pet Shop

After the customs and quarantine procedures in Macao City were successfully completed, [-] racing dogs were successfully transported to Jiangcheng and adopted by the Jiangcheng Stray Pet Association. The association officially began to recruit willing adopters from all over the country.

After consideration, Lu Chenyi, the wealthy second-generation chairman, directly bought a few vacant shops in Ke Siyunlai Commercial Street, planning to station the headquarters of the association in the future, so that it would be convenient for the association and Dream Pet Shop. cooperation.

After the [-] racing dogs arrived in Jiangcheng, some of them were sent to the pet cage of the former association headquarters, and the rest were sent to the new association headquarters in Kesiyunlai Commercial Street.On the day the dogs arrived, Xia Ji and Long Wei went to check them up together. This was the first time Xia Ji saw such a quiet pet cage.

Although there are dozens of dogs in a room, none of them are barking randomly. Every dog ​​is lying peacefully in its own independent compartment. When strangers come, they will only look up Looking at you, not too enthusiastically.Xia Ji has a good impression of these racing dogs, and even wants to adopt one by himself.

Since the racing dogs have been vaccinated before passing the customs, they are generally healthy and can be adopted directly.Besides feeding the volunteers in the association, the main task is to walk the dogs every day.Gree dogs need to ensure the amount of activity every day, so volunteers will take them out for a walk in batches every day, but hundreds of dogs have to go for a walk, which makes the volunteers very tired.Now everyone's common goal is to hope that these racing dogs can be adopted as soon as possible.

Xia Ji publicized this event on Weibo, Taobao store and the live broadcast of the pet grooming salon, and printed posters and posted them in the store, and because the association is now on the same street as Xia Ji’s pet store, anyone who is interested in adoption Guests can go there immediately to learn about the situation, so the publicity effect is still good, and racing dogs find new homes every day.

And Xia Ji checked the system interface and found that after these racing dogs were adopted, they were also counted in the task progress of the intermediate task.At present, the progress of the intermediate task is more than half. Xia Ji feels that the intermediate task will be completed soon.

Xia Ji was settling accounts at the front desk that day, but Hu Ling, a frequent customer of the pet grooming salon, rarely came to the pet cafe.

Since she often went to Xiaoyu's for beauty treatment, Hu Ling's appearance has been maintained at its peak every day, and finally won the coveted brand endorsement. It can be said that the wind has been smooth recently.

Hu Ling pulled down the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose a little, revealing a pair of sly eyes, looking at Xia Ji meaningfully.

Xia Ji felt uncomfortable when he saw him, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Ling curled his lips into a smile, and approached in a low voice: "I heard...Boss Xia, you've been very close to my brother lately?"

Xia Ji distanced himself from him expressionlessly, and said, "Who told you? It's not very close, okay?"

"Well, well, Boss Xia, I won't interfere with your affairs. But now that you think about it, you are quite in line with my brother's taste. My brother's eyes have always been...um."

What does this "um..." mean? !Xia Ji complained wildly in his heart: I am so good, it is normal for your brother to like me!

"Are you okay? I'm still busy here!" Xia Ji impatiently started to chase people away.

"I have something to do. I have something serious to talk to Boss Xia." Hu Ling put away his hippie smile and said straight away.

Xia Ji looked at him suspiciously: "What's the business?"

Hu Ling said solemnly: "You are Xie Yan's friend, can you give me his WeChat?"

"...!" This time, Xia Ji looked at Hu Ling with meaningful eyes. He didn't speak for a long time, wondering what was going on between these two guys.

"Boss Xia, don't be silent." Hu Ling said with a smile.

Xia Ji rolled his eyes, and said in a cliché, "Since you know Xie Yan, why don't you ask him directly if you want his WeChat?"

"Ahem, well, there is a little misunderstanding between us, and he doesn't want to tell me." Hu Ling said awkwardly.

"Oh," Xia Ji pretended to be indifferent: "Since he himself is unwilling to tell you, then I can't tell you."

"Don't be like this, Boss Hu. I said that there was a misunderstanding between us. I added him on WeChat to explain the misunderstanding. Are you right?" Hu Ling continued to plead.

Xia Ji pretended not to understand: "It's strange, what benefit can I get by meddling in the matter between you two?"

Hu Ling immediately smiled and said: "Boss Xia is indeed a businessman. Speaking of which, Boss Xia has sold a lot of facial masks recently, right? You may not know it, but after my recommendation, your facial masks have become popular in the fashion circle. In this way , if you give me Xie Yan’s WeChat, one day your facial mask will be promoted, and I will endorse it for you for free, you must know that my worth is not cheap in the circle.”

Xia Ji still knew of Hu Ling's popularity, but he didn't expect Hu Ling to do this for the sake of thanking words. It seems that Hu Ling is probably serious.

……

After Hu Ling left, Xia Ji followed Xie Yan to inform him.

"Thank you solo, congratulations, this time I finally hope to get rid of being single!"

Xie Yan, who was working on the design draft, looked confused: "What the hell?"

Xia Ji smirked and said, "Hmph, don't pretend, what's going on between you and that supermodel? People have come to my store today to inquire about your situation."

"Ah? That pervert! You didn't say anything nonsense to him, did you?" Xie Yan immediately frowned.

Xia Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've said everything I shouldn't have said."

"!!!" Xie Yan was furious: "Xia Xiaoji, our friendship has come to an end today! It has come to an end!"

Xia Ji held his mobile phone and laughed. It had been a long time since he saw the thank you words, and he had laughed enough before replying: "I think he seems to be serious."

Xie Yan had calmed down quickly, and said instead, "What about you, have you thought about it? Do you want to hold the piece of wood from before, or choose the gentle president now?"

Xia Ji replied without thinking: "That's needless to say, of course it's my Brother Long! Mr. Hu invited me to dinner, and I'll make it clear to him this time."

Xie Yan naturally knew that Xia Ji was a person who went all the way to the dark, so he said: "You are really determined, and I am worried for you. I think you might as well tell Long Wei about going to dinner with the president, and see if he has any ideas. What reaction. If he really likes you, he can't be indifferent, right?"

"Let's talk about it." Xia Ji fooled the past.

……

After that, Xia Ji kept thinking about what Xie Yan said, he was hesitating whether to tell Long Wei on purpose, although he didn't want Long Wei to be unhappy, but he really wanted to see that Long Wei cared about him.

Hu Shuo sent Xia Ji a WeChat message and made an appointment for a place and time for dinner. Hu Shuo said he would drive to the store to pick him up after get off work. Xia Ji thought for a long time and finally agreed.

Before Hu Shuo came to pick up Xia Ji, Xia Ji deliberately changed into a conspicuous attire, and then deliberately passed in front of Long Wei.

Sure enough, Long Wei asked him: "Do you want to go out tonight?"

"Yeah." Xia Ji's heart was pounding with nervousness, and his face was strong and calm: "Mr. Hu helped a lot in the dog race last time. Let's have a meal with him tonight as a thank you."

Long Wei's expression was a bit surprised, but he immediately asked again: "Is President Lu going too?"

Xia Ji shook his head: "He won't go, it's just me and Mr. Hu tonight."

"..." Long Wei's face changed, but he didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xia Ji yelled frantically in his heart: Brother Long, tell me not to go!Or you have to go with me!

But Long Wei hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Xia Ji: "...qq"

In the evening, Hu Shuo's car appeared in front of the store on time, which attracted Ah Feng and the others to look around curiously.

Xia Ji was a little angry, put on the necklace Hu Shuo gave him, looked at Long Wei complainingly, got into Hu Shuo's car and left without saying anything.Long Wei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the car drive farther and farther.

Ah Feng and the Dormouse hid behind and whispered.

Ah Feng: "What's the situation? Did Dad go on a date?"

Xiaoyu: "It's probably true. Didn't you see that Dad is dressed so handsomely today?"

Dormouse: "No way, are you going to find me a new grandmother?"

Mermaid baby: "Um... what about the dragon boss?"

Little Thorn Ball: "Look, Boss Long looks a little sad."

……

Hu Shuo took Xia Ji to a revolving restaurant on the top floor, where he could enjoy the 360-degree invincible river view while tasting high-end western food.Xia Ji had seen the introduction of this restaurant in a magazine before, but he never thought that he would eat here one day.He secretly glanced at his electronic account, reckoning that it should be enough to pay for the meal.

The waiter came over to help Xia Ji pour the wine, Hu Shuo raised his glass to him and said, "You look good tonight."

"Thank you." Xia Ji clinked glasses with him.

The waiter began to serve the food, the lights in the restaurant were dim, the stars were shining outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sound of soothing music, the clashing of knives and forks, the friction of skirts and tablecloths, and the sound of people talking in low voices, all these made the atmosphere become Charming and ambiguous.

However, Xia Ji didn't know what to eat, thinking about Long Wei angrily in his heart.

"What's the matter, isn't it to your liking?" Hu Shuo asked him suddenly.

Xia Ji came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "No, it's delicious, the environment is good, and the scenery is good."

Hu Shuo smiled: "As long as you like it."

Xia Ji held up the wine glass: "Mr. Hu, thanks to you for this dog race. I thank you for the [-] dogs in the association. Let me toast you first."

"I'm glad I could help you, you don't need to thank me." Hu Shuo clinked glasses with him.

Xia Ji drank the red wine in the glass, took a deep breath, then took out the necklace Hu Shuo gave from his pocket, and put it on the table.

Hu Shuo's hand holding the glass paused, and finally put down the glass, looking straight at Xia Ji.

Xia Ji didn't beat around the bush: "Mr. Hu, this necklace is too expensive and I can't accept it. In order to thank you for your help and care many times, I must invite you for today's meal. You are welcome to come to our store anytime in the future."

Hu Shuo looked at the necklace and smiled wryly, "Your personality is really straightforward, but this is also your cuteness. Can I ask you the reason for rejecting me?"

Xia Ji said frankly: "Mr. Hu, you are really nice, but I already have someone I like."

Hu Shuo was not surprised by this answer: "Is the person you like Long Wei? With all due respect, I feel like he doesn't care about you."

"No, Brother Long, he, he just rarely shows it." Xia Ji explained with a blushing face.

"Oh? Really? But today I asked you out, and even went to pick you up from your store, but he didn't respond." Hu Shuo asked him back with a smile.

Xia Ji lowered his eyes, not knowing how to refute him.

Hu Shuo said again: "Since you are not with him, can I think I still have a chance?"

Xia Ji shook his head: "The relationship between Brother Long and I is very complicated. Even if we are not lovers now, we are already like relatives. Mr. Hu, you are the president of a large company, and you have countless employees under you. You still have brothers, you have friends, I am not necessary to you, and I am not the only one."

Xia Ji paused, looked into Hu Shuo's eyes and said seriously, "But for Brother Long, I am."

After Xia Ji finished speaking, he couldn't help but start to blush. He always felt like he was talking big. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass to cover up his embarrassment.

"Oh." Hu Shuo sighed, drank the wine in the glass, and said regretfully: "You have already talked about this, and you really don't leave me any room. If I meet you first It would be nice to be me."

Xia Ji bowed his head and remained silent.

After the two finished their meal in silence, Xia Ji went to pay the bill, but Hu Shuo didn't fight him.After coming out of the restaurant, Hu Shuo said, "I'll take you back."

Xia Ji refused: "Don't bother, I'll just take a taxi and go back."

Hu Shuo stared at Xia Ji for a long time, finally showed a wry smile, and sighed, "You."

After saying goodbye to Hu Shuo, Xia Ji hailed a taxi by the side of the road.

On the way back, Xia Ji got a little drunk, thinking about what happened tonight, he had fun first, thinking: I am so affectionate and dedicated, I am such a cutie!How could Brother Long not like me!

When the taxi drove to the back street, Xia Ji got out of the car, and further inside was a small alley, so it was difficult for the taxi to turn around.

Xia Ji was dizzy and walked alone to Kesiyunlai Commercial Street. It was windy and cloudless tonight, and there were many stars in the sky.

As soon as he reached the dark corner of the street, Xia Ji saw a tall figure standing there. He blinked and took two steps closer, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Long Wei.

Xia Ji asked him: "Brother Long, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

In the dark, Xia Ji couldn't see Long Wei's expression clearly, but felt that his eyes were particularly bright: "Wait for you."

The author has something to say: Xia Xiaoji: "Aren't I your cutie?"
