Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 99

Shen Luo had two good things going on today and felt great. "If you wanna flatter me, just say it. No need to be so subtle!"

Zheng Jiamei rolled her eyes. The boss could be so unreliable sometimes.

That night, Shen Luo learned another piece of good news—Xiao Chuan was coming over again.

Xiao Chuan said, "This time I need a favor. Can you introduce me to Jin Guodong?"

Shen Luo thought that was no problem. He wasn't a business guy himself, so it wouldn't hurt for Xiao Chuan to meet Jin Guodong with him. Even if the deal didn't work out, it wouldn't cost him anything. Plus, Shen Luo liked that Xiao Chuan asked him straight up for help—at least it wasn't some sneaky attempt to use him to get to Jin Guodong.

That night, Xiao Chuan came over to find Shen Luo. Showing up in the middle of the night like this felt kinda weird to Shen Luo.

Thinking of the secretary who was practically glued to Jin Guodong's side, Shen Luo couldn't help but ask curiously, "You didn't bring your secretary?"

Xiao Chuan said, "I had him and the driver stay at a hotel."

The corner of Shen Luo's mouth twitched. The subordinates went off to stay in a hotel, but the boss himself showed up here to crash for the night? That just felt... off.

Xiao Chuan only said he wanted to meet Jin Guodong, but didn't mention why, so Shen Luo didn't press him.

The next day, Shen Luo brought his pets to the exhibition as usual. Xiao Chuan followed behind him, while his secretary and driver waited outside at the entrance.

Noticing the strange looks coming their way, Shen Luo also started feeling that walking side-by-side with Xiao Chuan was a little odd. He subtly pulled away a bit and asked, "You want to see him now?"

"If it's convenient," Xiao Chuan replied.

So Shen Luo went to talk to the staff and said he wanted to see Mr. Jin.

Someone went to pass on the message, and soon enough, they were being led to Jin Guodong.

The secretary and driver behind them exchanged a subtle glance. Could this guy, dressed so plainly, actually be someone important?

At the door, someone stopped them. "The chairman said he'll only see Mr. Shen."

Shen Luo glanced back. Three people tagging along did feel like too many, so he said, "This is a friend of mine. We've got something to discuss with Mr. Jin. Could the two of us go in together?"

The person looked Xiao Chuan up and down, made a call, and finally said, "Alright, the two of you can go in. The others wait here."

Shen Luo hadn't realized Jin Guodong had such strict rules, and he started feeling a bit nervous.

Xiao Chuan, on the other hand, stayed calm. He took the documents from his secretary and said, "You two wait here."

The secretary and driver both quietly said yes.

That strange feeling hit Shen Luo again. He didn't notice it when it was just him hanging out with these two, but once there were other people around, the difference really stood out. Whether it was Jin Guodong or Xiao Chuan, they both gave off that untouchable, upper-crust kind of vibe. The gap felt huge.

Shen Luo led Xiao Chuan inside and, familiar with the place, walked straight up to Jin Guodong's room and knocked on the door.

Jin Guodong had been talking with his secretary, but quickly let them in.

Even before Xiao Chuan stepped through the door, Jin Guodong already knew he was here. Shen Luo, unaware, started introducing them.

One glance at Shen Luo, and Jin Guodong understood the kid ran a pet clinic and probably had no clue about how high the stakes were in this circle. Shen Luo didn't realize that bringing Xiao Chuan along sent a certain message to anyone watching.

"Mr. Jin, I've heard so much about you. It's great to finally meet," Xiao Chuan said, reaching out his hand.

Jin Guodong smiled, buttoned up his suit jacket, and shook hands with him. "Young Master Xu, the pleasure's mine. Please, have a seat."

While the two of them exchanged polite words, Shen Luo could still follow the classy compliments they tossed back and forth. But once the conversation got deeper, he started losing the thread.

"Xiao Shen, if you've got other stuff to do, go ahead," Jin Guodong said.

"Um..."

Shen Luo glanced at Xiao Chuan. He didn't really feel okay just leaving him here on his own.

Xiao Chuan smiled and nodded. "Go do your thing. I'll come find you later."

Shen Luo instantly felt relieved. "Alright, I'm heading off then."
Sitting there had been pretty boring anyway. The two of them seemed a little wary of talking with him around, always skirting around the topic, and it made him feel awkward. Might as well leave.

Once he stepped out the front door, Shen Luo finally felt like he could breathe again.

Today's exhibition was focused on dogs. Qiuqiu and Ah Chou were, as usual, taken to the exhibition area to be displayed for visitors. Because of what happened yesterday, Ah Chou had gained a bit of fame, so they made an exception and let him join Qiuqiu. There were staff keeping an eye on things in the exhibition area, so usually nothing would go wrong.

Since there were a ton of competitions going on within the industry, dog-related events would go on for several days.

The morning session was still focused on appearances. Shen Luo walked around the exhibition with Ethan and the others.

Normally, walking around with several dogs on a leash would attract attention. But here, it was common to see people walking a bunch of dogs at once. What really stood out were the people leading a whole pack of dogs of the same breed.

Maybe it was a personality thing, but the dog exhibition was way livelier than the cat one. Not just because there were more visitors, but also because there were more dogs—big ones, small ones, all kinds of colors and patterns. It was honestly overwhelming to look at. Shen Luo even saw a few rare breeds you rarely come across in the country, like American Bullies and the like.

Some dogs went totally nuts when they saw a crowd. Huskies were the worst offenders—super hyper and excited just from all the action.

You could even spot dogs trying to mount each other all over the place—this one riding that one, that one climbing this one. Sometimes even tiny dogs trying to ride big ones. The scenes were... a bit too much. Dogs really had no shame, just going at it in broad daylight.

Most owners kept their dogs leashed. In a place like this, if a dog ran off, it'd be a nightmare to find it again.

When a dog got curious, it'd stop and sniff. Shen Luo had Duoduo, Brother Pi, Ethan, and Brother Hei with him. Whenever one of them stopped, he'd give the leash a tug, and they'd usually give up and move on.
