Xiao Chuan slung an arm around Shen Luo's shoulders. "I really gotta thank you for this whole thing. If it weren't for you helping make the connection, I wouldn't have met Boss Jin so quickly, and the talks wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Shen Luo didn't want to take credit. "It's nothing, really. Even without me, you would've nailed it sooner or later."

Xiao Chuan sighed quietly. This idiot. Why couldn't he ever just understand?

They caught a whole bunch of chickens. Heige and the gang were thrilled, hopping all over the place. When they got back to the clinic, one chicken went to Zheng Jiamei so she could bring it home. She was really happy—Shen Luo didn't usually hand out chickens, so this was a nice surprise. Another went to Wang Bo. But Wang Bo was a homebody—he couldn't even kill a chicken, let alone cook one—so someone from the clinic had to do it for him. Wang Wei got one too. Even though Wang Wei lived at the clinic, Shen Luo didn't want to play favorites.

The last chicken was for Heige and the others. But the moment they found out there was only one chicken for them, their mood dropped instantly.

Shen Luo said, "Just one for now—there'll be more later. If you eat too much now, there won't be anything left next time."

Even as clever as they were, Heige and the gang still got confused by Shen Luo's reasoning and ended up obediently waiting for their chicken dinner that night.

At the event venue, the booth hadn't even opened yet, and people were already lining up.

"I ordered twenty bags yesterday—did you bring them?"

"And mine—I booked ten!"

Zheng Jiamei stood there with her list, handing out dog treats one by one. Watching the scene, Shen Luo asked Xiao Chuan, "Hey, do you think if I start selling these treats, I could actually get rich?"

Xiao Chuan said, "Totally. Your treats are super good."

Shen Luo chuckled. He was just kidding—like he had that kind of time or energy.

But Xiao Chuan actually thought it was a solid idea. Still, judging by Shen Luo's completely chill attitude, he clearly wasn't serious about it, so Xiao Chuan didn't push the subject.

Besides selling treats, people also came by asking if Shen Luo's dogs were for sale, if they could be bred, and all sorts of random stuff. It gave Shen Luo a headache, so he just put up a sign that said:
No dogs for sale. No breeding. Not for sale myself, either.

Photos, though, were fine—and it was a great way to promote Pet Love Animal Hospital.

After sitting for a bit, Xiao Chuan took his secretary and the chicken to go see Jin Guodong. When the secretary saw how naturally Xiao Chuan handled the chicken-catching, his face twitched a little.

When Jin Guodong saw Xiao Chuan, he didn't look surprised at all—just raised an eyebrow at the chicken.

Xiao Chuan lifted the bird slightly. "It's from Shen Luo's place. Better than a regular free-range chicken. Thought I'd bring one for you to try."

Jin Guodong gave him a look, half smiling. "Is it a gift from him or from you?"

Even though he hadn't gone to the competition in person, Jin Guodong had heard that Shen Luo and his one cat and three dogs all won first place. He was, of course, happy for Shen Luo.

Xiao Chuan kept a straight face. "It's from both of us."

Jin Guodong gave a silent chuckle. Whether it was Xiao Chuan or Shen Luo—they were both interesting characters.

"Have a seat," Jin Guodong said, pointing to the chair across from him. Xiao Chuan set the chicken down on the floor, then went over and sat across from him.

It had been several days already—Jin Guodong should have made up his mind by now.

At that same moment, Shen Luo was busy giving Duoduo a full-body rubdown.

It was getting hot out, and for long-haired breeds like Samoyeds, shedding was off the charts. Normally, by this time of year, the fur would've been trimmed short, but since Duoduo was competing, they had to keep that full coat. She looked like a fluffy, round ball.

Duoduo was entering the beauty contest, so she not only had to eat well and drink plenty, but also get brushed and trimmed every single day to keep her in top condition.

No doubt about it—Shen Luo really understood Duoduo's personality. And honestly, Samoyeds were totally misleading with how cute they looked. That wide-eyed stare, tongue hanging out, little head tilt—they could literally drain your HP bar. Samoyeds had a natural advantage, which was exactly why Shen Luo had entered Duoduo into the beauty competition.

Sure, Ethan looked great too, but after thinking it over, Shen Luo decided not to enter him.

Right then, Duoduo was being a little suck-up, saying, "I want chicken after the contest!"

She'd seen all those chickens earlier and had been jealous ever since.

Shen Luo shook his head. "Depends on how you do."

Duoduo immediately pouted. Why did Brother Hei and the others get to eat chicken and not her? This wasn't fair at all! Shen Luo was way too stingy!

Listening to Duoduo grumble and whimper, Shen Luo was kind of speechless. It wasn't like he was playing favorites—Brother Hei's team had won the team championship, which wasn't easy, so of course they deserved some chicken to reward them. And it wasn't like they each got a whole bird—it was four dogs sharing one chicken. And yet Duoduo still wanted to compare?

Even Mengmeng trying to calm her down didn't help. Finally, Shen Luo gave in and said, "If you really give it your all out there, I'll make a chicken for you and Mengmeng."

Duoduo immediately jumped up and spun in circles around him, acting like a total suck-up. Shen Luo could only rub his forehead. Duoduo really had no shame when it came to food... and he had no idea where she even picked that up from.

Still, Shen Luo didn't feel super confident about Duoduo placing in the competition. Samoyeds were beautiful, sure, but the other breeds weren't lacking either. Golden Retrievers were just as popular, and then there were Poodles, too—all breeds with an edge in beauty contests.

Because, at the end of the day, beauty competitions were literally just face contests—no shame in it, all about appearances.

No special skills required. Other than natural fur color, posture, and gait, the only thing owners could do was style. That's why, recently, dog stylists in B City had been in crazy high demand.

Styling a dog could include trimming their fur, dyeing it, dressing them up, putting on accessories—basically anything to make them look super cute and unique.
