After get off work, I carried my bag to the underground parking lot. Luo Xiangdong was already sitting in the car waiting for me. I opened the door and got in. I smiled and said hello: "Mr. Luo."
Luo Xiangdong said: "First go to the pet care center and pick up the dog."
When I heard this, my eyes immediately lit up and I asked with a smile: "Will kingb and queenb also go?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Don't you like dogs? You can take them there anyway, so just take them."
Luo Xiangdong drove me to a large pet care center with two floors. Through the car window, I saw many cages in the store, and there were many large dogs in the cages. I said to Luo Xiangdong: "I can tell you Let’s go in together?”
Luo Xiangdong unbuckled his seat belt and replied: "Let's go. I've only heard that there are places where pets are not allowed to enter, but I haven't heard of anyone not being allowed to enter."
I tried hard to control the urge to glare at him. Fortunately, I didn't know him for more than a day or two, otherwise he would have been really angry to death.
After getting off the car, I followed Luo Xiangdong and walked towards the gate of the pet center.
Anyone who keeps pets knows that, especially in places with many pets, there will definitely be smells. But the pet center in front of me was able to bring dozens or even hundreds of pets together without any odor from the animals. This surprised me. How did they do it
As soon as Luo Xiangdong stepped through the door, a clerk came over to greet him: "Mr. Luo, you are here."
Luo Xiangdong nodded, and the clerk immediately turned around and shouted: "Mr. Luo, come and get kingb and queenb."
After saying that, she turned to Luo Xiangdong and smiled: "Mr. Luo, wait a moment. King B and Queen B are on the second floor. You came a little early today. They have just finished taking a bath and are still blowing their hair."
Luo Xiangdong wore a mask and replied aloud: "It's okay."
Luo Xiangdong and I were taken to the reception sofa on the first floor by the clerk. As soon as we sat down, many teddy dogs, Pomeranians and other small dogs immediately gathered around our feet. They are all taken care of cleanly and delicately, and each one looks like a small toy.
I saw that there were great white bears, huskies, Samoyeds and other dog breeds in cages not far away, so I stood up and said, "Mr. Luo, I'll go over there and take a look."
A clerk followed me specially, handed me water, and then said hello with a smile: "This is your first time coming to our place, miss."
I smiled and nodded: "First time."
The clerk said: "This is also the first time we have seen Mr. Luo bring a female companion here."
I was a little surprised by this, so I couldn't help but turned my head and asked, "Really?"
The female clerk nodded seriously, and then said: "Kingb and Queenb started sending samples and care to us when they were two or three months old. Now that they are one and a half years old, Mr. Luo has always come to pick them up by himself. , sometimes other friends come with me, but they are all men.”
I saw that the female clerk's eyes were full of gossip, and I knew that she must have misunderstood the relationship between me and Luo Xiangdong. Anyway, Luo Xiangdong now has a real girlfriend, Du Ting, and I can't pretend to be a good one here, so I said with a smile: "I am Luo Xiangdong's assistant, and I happened to come here to pick up kingb and queenb together today. Mr. Luo will have something to do later. So come here early.”
When the female clerk heard this, the gossip in her eyes immediately shattered, and she nodded and said, "Oh, so that's it."
The pet center is very big. I spent a long time shopping on the first floor alone. I saw dozens of dog breeds in one go and I felt so happy. Seeing that I like animals, the female clerk took the initiative to introduce me: "We also have cats, rabbits and other pets upstairs. If you like them, you can go upstairs and have a look."
I immediately replied: "Okay."
I followed the female clerk upstairs and saw that there were still no fewer than ten clerks upstairs, all of whom were taking care of small animals.
Someone said hello to the female clerk next to me and nodded to me.
The female clerk introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Luo's assistant. I came with Mr. Luo to pick up King B and Queen B."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attitude towards me immediately improved by more than three points. Sure enough, the three words "Luo Xiangdong" are a living sign, and a person should be given some face.
Most of the shop assistants were girls, and they enthusiastically helped me introduce various small animals. During this period, I accidentally discovered a gray fold-eared cat, a kitten, about the size of a man's hand, sitting in front of the exquisite cat cage. I couldn't tell whether the eyes were black or gray, they just seemed to have a bright and deep light.
I don’t really like cats, but this cat is so cute. It has droopy ears and a cute and innocent look. It doesn’t have the mean look in my impression that cats must be mean.
The clerk saw that I liked it, so he opened the cat carrier, took the cat out, and put it in my hand.
The kitten meowed at me, and my whole heart melted. I really put it in my pocket for fear of losing it, and put it in my hand for fear of falling. I didn’t know what to do, so I had to be as careful as possible.
"Miss, this cat is destined to you." The female clerk said with a smile.
I said, "Really? How did you see it?"
"It is said that there is a master-servant relationship between pets and their owners. I think you two look alike, and it never barks, but it actually barked at you today."
After they said this, I took a closer look and found that this kitten really suited my eyes. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
"How much does it cost?"
I knew that the price of Fold-eared cats was not cheap, so the female salesperson replied loudly: "This is just an authentic Scottish Fold-eared cat. We just airlifted it here not long ago. It costs more than 16,000."
Another clerk added: "Sixteen thousand and eighty."
Oops, I was shocked. Such an expensive cat, no wonder it looks so good-looking.
I held the cat with one hand and gently touched its little ears with the other hand. It meowed at me again. I raised the corners of my lips, I liked it very much.
"Miss, this cat also likes you. Look at the way it looks at you."
I know they said so much, and they just hope that I can spend money to buy it, but don’t say that the price of this cat is too expensive. I can’t afford it. Even if I can afford it, I don’t have time to raise it. Now every day at work.
I smiled lightly and was about to put the cat back into the cage when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind: "What are you playing with?"
I and several female shop assistants turned around at the same time and saw Luo Xiangdong standing behind me at some point, only half an arm's length away from me.
He looked at the cat in my hand and asked aloud: "Don't you like dogs?"
I said oh, then smiled and replied: "I like furry things."
The female clerk encouraged from the side: "Mr. Luo, your assistant likes this folded-eared cat very much, and the two of them are particularly destined."
I was afraid that they would persuade Luo Xiangdong to spend money to buy me a cat, so I quickly put the cat back into the cage and said loudly: "It's cute, but I don't have time to raise it."
The female clerk said: "Cats are easy to raise. They are not like dogs. Even if you leave them alone at home, they can still enjoy their solitude."
Another one also said: "If you are afraid that it will be lonely, you can also foster it with us. We will take care of it for you and come and pick it up when you get off work."
I smiled and refused: "No, I don't plan to keep a pet now."
Seeing my clear say no, the few clerks stopped.
Not long after, kingb and queenb came out of the bathroom on a lead. They had just taken a bath and had their hair blown. They could not only be described as heroic. In the eyes of a dog lover like me, they were simply fluttering. Desire.
I immediately opened my arms and called them. When the two big dogs saw familiar faces, they immediately struggled to rush in this direction. The person pulling them was an adult man, but he was still dragged upright.
When kingb saw Luo Xiangdong, he leaned directly next to him. On the contrary, queenb was unexpectedly very affectionate to me, wandering around me, and then directly raised his two paws and rushed towards me. I often dealt with big dogs when I was a kid, so I wasn't afraid. I took advantage of the situation and held its two front paws, and kissed it cheek to cheek.
It smells great, like the body wash you just took a shower on.
I sniffed, put it down, and then said with a smile: "Let's go get some skewers."
Luo Xiangdong held kingb's hand, and I held queenb's hand, and we went downstairs together. Before leaving the pet center, a large group of clerks greeted her as if they were welcoming an emperor or a queen out of the palace.
When they got to the car, Luo Xiangdong made a phone call and said, "I just came out of the pet center, where have you been?"
I guess he called Wei Zheng and the others.
"We'll go there now, within fifteen minutes."
He hung up the phone and concentrated on driving.
I was sitting in the passenger seat, and from time to time I would turn around to tease the queen, who would try to bite my finger with her mouth while wagging her tail.
On the way, Luo Xiangdong said: "If you like it, just keep one."
I said, "I don't have time to take care of myself now. I have to go to work every day."
Luo Xiangdong said: "It sounds like working very hard."
I heard the slight teasing in his words, so I looked at him and said, "By the way, Mr. Luo."
"What?"
"I am currently working as an assistant, but I have nothing to do all day long. Isn't this good?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "What do you want to do?"
I said, "I see that Sister Guan Yue and Xue Tong are very busy every day. They are also assistants. I always feel like I am doing nothing, and I feel guilty."
Luo Xiangdong said: "They have to read a lot of documents every day, communicate tasks between superiors and subordinates, and more often than not, they have to attend various business occasions, cocktail parties and dinners. Can you do such a job?"
I have known for a long time that if I am a language learner, I will just be a translator, and I will be a secretary. I have never studied administration, and I don’t even understand some basic procedures.
Hearing this, I paused and then said, "I can learn if I don't understand. It's not good to occupy such a good position but do nothing."
Luo Xiangdong said calmly: "Starting from tomorrow, I will let them teach you how to read documents."
I nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Luo."
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's not working time now, you don't have to talk or shut up, Mr. Luo."
I'm beating a drum in my heart, if I don't call him Mr. Luo, what would I call him
Could it be called Luo Xiangdong? Or call him Dongzi
Just as I was thinking about it, Luo Xiangdong next to me suddenly said: "You had a mouthful of stuff before, weren't you pretty good at it?"
I was so frightened that I quickly turned my head and replied, "Mr. Luo, stop joking about this. I will never drink too much again."
Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips in a rare moment, smiled, and then said: "Okay, seeing as the joke you told last night was really funny, I will reluctantly let you take advantage of it when you get off work in the future. Just call me by my name."
