Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 95

And to make pets crave their food, some companies even added flavor enhancers. The pets would seem super into that food, tricking owners into thinking it was great stuff, when in fact it was really bad for their health.

With Xiao Chuan's support, Shen Luo felt more confident, which made him work harder too—his metaphorical red scarf felt brighter than ever (cough cough).

Ever since their last goodbye, the two of them had been calling each other every night. They didn't talk long—just three to five minutes—but the feeling was really nice. Shen Luo felt like he was in love, and it was such a wonderful feeling.

Love was like candy laced with poison—sometimes you knew you shouldn't touch it, but you just couldn't let go. That was exactly how Shen Luo felt. He knew there wasn't much hope for him and Xiao Chuan, but he couldn't bear to give up this sweet feeling.

Yuan Ying and You Minran had also heard about the pet exhibition. Both of them worked in media, and the pet show was being pretty heavily promoted, so it wasn't surprising they knew.

"I'm taking Ah Hua to the show. Even though she can't have puppies anymore, she can still make a few friends."

You Minran, on the other hand, was kinda bummed. "That's when I'm out on a business trip!"

"I can take Bubu for you, let him see the world a little."

You Minran said, "Yeah right. You probably can't even handle your own Ah Hua!"

That was true. Ah Hua was huge—super well-behaved, sure, but if she got too excited from being around a bunch of dogs, Yuan Ying might not be able to hold her back.

"Shen Luo, your dogs' really entering the competition?"

"Yeah, just for fun. Gonna let them get some experience."

Lately, quite a few people had been asking Shen Luo about it. He wasn't sure who spilled the beans, but he didn't keep it a secret—he told them what he knew. Owners of small dogs didn't care much, but owners of medium and large dogs were really interested. After all, small dogs didn't have the same stamina or strength.

You Minran said, "Don't count yourself out. I think your dogs' got potential."

Shen Luo said, "Thanks for the compliment, but there's always someone better out there, and same goes for dogs. Some of them have had professional training. I'm just a half-amateur. Better not get too cocky."

Of course, Shen Luo was jealous of the prize money and did want to win, but he knew that wanting it too much would only stress him out. As for the pups entering the competition, they didn't know anything at all—so it was better to stay chill.

About ten days later, the pet exhibition finally began.

The exhibition was going to last about a week. Besides the official invited exhibits, there were also participants who signed up on their own—like Shen Luo's pets. As for Zhentian, he had been specially invited as a VIP guest. Shen Luo figured Jin Guodong must really like Zhentian—he just didn't know if it was because Zhentian was a German Shepherd, or because of everything Zhentian had been through.

On the first day, the morning was all about the opening ceremony. It mostly involved invited officials giving speeches—talking about how this exhibition promoted a harmonious society, or about the spirit and values behind the event. Tons of media outlets showed up too. Shen Luo thought to himself, yep, money really does make things happen. If Jin Guodong hadn't funded this, there was no way it could've been this big of a production.

This pet exhibition wasn't just about showcasing breeds—there were also competitions like dog shows and cat shows. Word was that some of the contestants had even won international awards.

The whole morning passed like that. Shen Luo was just about to pack up and head to his booth when someone sent by Jin Guodong came looking for him.

"Mr. Shen, our chairman would like to see you."

Well, "chairman," huh. Fancy! Shen Luo couldn't help but think.

Since it was Jin Guodong asking, Shen Luo went over without hesitation.

Jin Guodong was chatting and laughing with a few officials, looking totally at ease. Shen Luo kind of admired guys like that. He himself wasn't great at flattering people or putting on a social face, which was probably why he figured he'd never make big money in this life.

"Xiao Shen, you're here!"

"Mr. Jin."

"Have a seat. Did you bring your pets?"

Shen Luo sat down, and someone immediately brought over tea in a fancy crystal cup.

"I brought the best-behaved ones," Shen Luo said. "Planning to walk them around and let them meet other animals."

"Sounds good. If you run into any trouble, come find me."

"Thanks for looking out for me, Mr. Jin. I'll definitely come to you if anything comes up."

If someone offered help on their own, only an idiot would turn it down—so Shen Luo just agreed without hesitation. Who knew, he might actually need it later!

Meanwhile, the Chong'ai Pet Hospital booth had already been set up. Zheng Jiamei was manning it, Wang Wei was handling logistics, and Wang Bo didn't come. For one, there were already plenty of vets around doing pet education stuff—his presence or absence wouldn't make a difference. And besides, someone still had to stay at the hospital. It's not like they could just shut it down.

Jin Guodong called Shen Luo over, but it wasn't anything serious—he just wanted to check in. Once he saw that Shen Luo had really signed his pet up for several events, he got the idea.

Shen Luo walked quite a distance before finally making it back to their little booth. All the vendor tents were set up in a standardized way, with matching colors and signage—the only thing different was everyone's tables and displays.

When Shen Luo walked over, Wang Wei was helping Zheng Jiamei stock the booth, and a small group of pets had already gathered around.

"What's up with yours? My dog just refuses to leave!" a middle-aged man holding a leash asked loudly.

Zheng Jiamei replied, "That's because the biscuits I'm selling smell amazing. Of course they don't want to go."

The small biscuits were neatly arranged on the table, with a tiny dish next to them for samples. Zheng Jiamei handed one over and said, "You can let your dog try one. I promise they'll love it. And if you're not sure, you can try it yourself—they're made for both people and pets."

The man still looked hesitant. He glanced around and asked, "What's in them? How can people and dogs eat the same thing?"

Zheng Jiamei said, "Why not? Dogs eat meat and veggies, and so do people. Some dog treats actually taste better than human snacks! These biscuits are homemade, a top-secret recipe from our boss. You normally wouldn't even get the chance to try them."
