There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

I've been busy with Qin Zhiqiang's affairs these past few days and forgot about this.

Brother Li is coming tomorrow, but I haven't prepared anything yet.

If Tanuki exposes my human identity, I'll be kicked out of the group immediately.

Although I have made many contributions to the group these days, humans are humans and animals are animals.

The animals in the group were kind because he was also a dog; if they had known he was a human, they might not have been so kind.

Troublesome things just keep piling up.

Lu Fang slapped his forehead and thought, "Forget it, let's bring the police chief back first."

"Sister Qin, can I take half a day off this afternoon?"

He asked loudly.

"Sure, do you have something else to do?" Qin Zhuyan came out from behind and looked at Lu Fang with concern.

"It's nothing major. After the dog thief incident, a black and white cat was injured and was being fostered at Meiji Pet Hospital. It's almost fully recovered now, and I plan to bring it back to observe it. If there are no problems, I'll release it back into the wild."

"I have to go." Qin Zhuyan wiped her hands. "Go this afternoon. I'll take care of things at the shop, so don't worry. Sick cats can't eat cat food, so I'll make some cat food at the shop this afternoon to take back with me."

"Thank you, Sister Qin." Lu Fang's eyes lit up. It was all thanks to Sister Qin's thoughtfulness; she even thought of this. "Then I'll go pick up the cat first."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Qin Zhuyan waved her hand. "Oh, by the way, I'll settle your salary and commission for this month. You should also pay for the pet hospital visit, right?"

She took out her phone, looked down and operated it for a moment, and then Lu Fang received a text message notifying him of the arrival of funds.

"Your savings card ending in 0484 received a transfer of 10241..."

"More than ten thousand." Looking at the number in the text message, Lu Fang was dumbfounded. This was much higher than his salary when he was working at Meiji Pet Hospital.

"Sister Qin, did you transfer the wrong number?" He asked, somewhat incredulous.

"No, I've calculated it several times." Qin Zhuyan looked at Lu Fang's naive expression and explained with a smile, "It's mainly because of the bathing event we held last month. Most of the customers were large dogs, which boosted the sales of our Ark Select products. You get a commission on Ark Select products, you forgot?"

"As for the money for the bathing service, Qin Zhiqiang and Qin Sheng worked for free for a month, so their corresponding commissions have been given to you. Therefore, this 10,000 yuan is what you deserve."

"Thank you, Sister Qin. I'll invite Xu Yi tonight; it's my treat to a big meal." Overjoyed at his sudden wealth, Lu Fang patted his chest and rushed out the door.

"This child." Watching Lu Fang's departing figure, Qin Zhuyan shook her head helplessly.

She turned around and stared blankly at the store's layout, suddenly feeling as if she were in another world.

A few months ago, she was alone in Yanling City, supporting her childhood dream, but she couldn't stand up straight under the heavy pressure of reality.

Now, Hello Pet Shop has been completely renovated, with many new additions, a stable and loyal customer base, and booming business. She has even completely escaped the shadow of her family of origin.

It all started the day Lu Fang came to the store for an interview.

Suddenly, Qin Zhuyan, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, secretly made up her mind that she would go to the temple in Yanling City to burn incense on her next day off.

To fulfill a vow.

Inside the Meiji Pet Hospital.

While idly idling, Xu Yi spotted a familiar figure at the shop entrance and immediately ran out excitedly, pushing open the door to greet him.

"Brother Fang, what brings you here!"

She was like a little sparrow, chirping and chattering around Lu Fang, so lively.

"I've come to pick up the sheriff," Lu Fang said, ruffling her hair.

"I thought you came to see me." Xu Yi pouted, but she still obediently led Lu Fang to the observation room.

"The sheriff is recovering very well. Although he is still not able to walk around easily, his physical functions have almost fully recovered, and there are no aftereffects."

She picked up the sheriff's medical record and spoke earnestly.

"I know." Lu Fang looked at the sheriff and met his dark green eyes.

"By the way, how much is the sheriff's hospital bill? Let me settle it," Lu Fang asked Xu Yi, who was standing next to him.

"It's not much money, Brother Fang, aren't you short on cash? I'll pay for it." Xu Yi looked up and patted her purse.

"Forget it, how much money could a little girl like you have? I know the salaries at Meiji Pet Hospital all too well. That two thousand yuan isn't even enough for you to live on," Lu Fang teased.

"Well, we're different," Xu Yi pouted. "I live and eat at home, and my dad even gives me pocket money. Unlike you, you have to pay rent, feed stray cats, and even pay for your own surgery. I have money!"

"That was before. Let me tell you, your brother Fang is rich now!" Lu Fang felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that Xu Yi was worried about his financial situation. This girl didn't earn much herself, but she was always thinking about him.

He took out his phone and waved it at Xu Yi to show her the money transfer message he had just received.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand!" Xu Yi's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Brother Fang, where did you get so much money? We may be poor, but we can't sell ourselves!"

"Although you're tall and handsome, Fang-ge, you'd definitely be in high demand if you wore male model clothes. Being a gigolo isn't a good job!" Lu Fang felt like she was starting to drool as she spoke.

"Um, just asking, Brother Fang, how much do you charge per night? I'd like to see if I can scrape together some money," Xu Yi asked cautiously, her eyes sparkling.

"Do you want to hear what kind of outrageous things you're saying?" Lu Fang slapped her on the head helplessly. "This is last month's salary! Your Sister Qin just paid it, it's still fresh in her mind!"

"Sister Qin's shop is making so much money!" Seeing that Lu Fang was really making money, Xu Yi stopped pretending and started to process the discharge payment procedures.

"It's all because there are two free workers." Lu Fang looked at the numbers on the bill, took out his phone and started transferring money.

"By the way, how are those two guys doing? Are they still hanging around in the store?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"He's been sent to the police station. He probably won't be out for a year or two," Lu Fang said casually, showing his bank transfer interface.

"What's going on? Why was he suddenly sent to jail? Which powerful figure intervened?" Xu Yi asked after efficiently completing the discharge procedures.

"Then it must be my great power who has taken action." Lu Fang briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, making Xu Yi's eyes sparkle.

"Brother Fang, you're amazing!"

"Hehe, of course." Lu Fang packed the sheriff into a flight case, waved to Xu Yi, and said, "Payday! Come find me after get off work, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight!"

"Alright, Brother Fang, see you there!"
