Pet King

After listening to Jin Er’s story about his friend, Snowy vaguely understood why he had invited her to stay. Although she did not know much about dogs personally, she did know someone who knew a lot about them.

She really admired Hei Zi’s bravery. Not everyone could give up on a company they had created themselves and go into the wild alone.

People who wanted to make more money when they already had a lot of money reminded her of her father. He couldn’t understand Jin Er’s laziness, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to understand the life-risking adventurer, Hei Zi. They were too different from each other, so they would not work well together.

She remembered that Jin Er had talked to her before, and said that having money did not make her better than another person. With money, however, one had more choices in their life. She would not have to run away and be busy with work like other people had to––she could do what she wanted without having to worry about anything.

If she had been born into an ordinary family, then instead of talking to Jin Er and his friend, she would have had to be at work. She probably would not have been able to do broadcasting.

It was good to have money!

Jin Er had known why Hei Zi was coming in advance. He wanted to gain face in front of his old friend, but he would not lose an old friend simply because he wanted to impress them; that was why he had Snowy stay behind. Even if Good-For-Nothing had made him look good, when Hei Zi asked him which dog breed he should get, he would have found an excuse to have Snowy take Hei Zi instead. He would not impersonate an expert; he knew the danger of that.

Hei Zi touched his face and explained to Snowy, “Although my nickname is Hei Zi, in the past, I was really not that black. I got really tan during my last two years in the wild.”

“All right, stop it. You were that dark when you escaped from school in the middle of the night to eat at the snack booth. We couldn’t even find you.” Jin Er rolled his eyes and scoffed.

“Rubbish! I was not at all that black in the past, all right? I was whiter than you!” Hei Zi rebutted.

“Then why isn’t my nickname Hei Zi?” Jin Er chuckled.

The two of them argued with each other about who was blacker in the past, but no one could find any evidence because they did not have many photos from that time.

When Good-For-Nothing saw how fiercely they were arguing, it howled a few times to join in on the mess.

Snowy saw that the two people had tempers like little children, and could not help but laugh secretly. From that, however, she could tell that the two of them had a very good friendship.

After arguing for a while, they finally realized that neither of them could win. All they were doing was amusing Snowy, so they awkwardly brought the conversation back.

“In short, you made me to come here for nothing, and you need to compensate me for my loss. How can you compensate me?” Hei Zi grabbed Jin Er and refused to let him go. “How about this––if you go with me several times to the wild, we’ll be even.”

It was Jin Er, and although it violated Hei Zi’s original intention of surviving alone in the wilderness, Hei Zi could fully trust him. He was the second best choice, so there was no need to find a dog.

Jin Er envied Hei Zi’s carefreeness and sometimes wanted to learn how to let go completely like Hei Zi did; however, he couldn’t forget how difficult it was to start a business, and he could not bear to part with the company he founded. Besides, many people in the company still relied on him to eat. If he sold the company, some people would be laid off and unemployed. At most, he could only hide behind the scenes and not participate in the daily operations. He only appeared in public when the company was dealing with a major proposal.

He knew himself; he knew that his body was not as strong as a Hei Zi’s. If it were a few years earlier, it would have been possible. At his age, however, if he wanted to learn how to rock climb, drift, and dive, it was a little late. He would only drag Hei Zi down if they went into the wilderness together.

Jin Er waved his hand. “I can’t do it. I can only shout 666 for you from the sidelines. But I definitely will make your trip worth it… In fact, before you came, I had thought about it. Although I don’t know about dogs, and I chose the wrong dog that only remembers how to eat but not why it is hit, I do know someone who can help you.” Saying that, he pointed at Snowy.

“Her?” Hei Zi was stunned. Although it was said that one could not judge a person by their appearance, no matter how he looked at it, Snowy did not seem like someone who knew about dogs.

“Your family rears dogs?” he asked, testing the waters.

“Haha! No! What are you thinking…” Snowy smiled and said, “Uncle Jin means that I can recommend you to a professional who knows about dogs. I just happen to know someone.”

“Oh…” Hei Zi understood, but still did not feel assured. “This professional you know––is he reliable? You must know that, in the wilderness, a dog is practically half of my life. I definitely cannot randomly choose any dog.” He took a glance at Good-For-Nothing. “And I especially cannot choose this kind.”

Good-For-Nothing was not bothered by people looking down at it. Being looked down on definitely earned it a lot of chicken bones.

“Haha! Don’t worry. Even if it’s just for Uncle Jin, I’ll introduce you to a very reliable professional––at least he’s very reliable about pets. He will definitely help you choose a suitable dog!” Snowy said confidently.

“Really? That’s amazing!” Hei Zi half-believed her and half-doubted her. He thought that there was a portion of her that was just boasting… After all, he had just met Snowy.

“En! That dog that got Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival––have you heard of it? The person I’m recommending is the one who trained that dog!” When Snowy talked about Famous, she felt proud of it.

Hei Zi was shocked, and then, as if remembering something, he suddenly came to his senses. He said, “Aiya! I heard about that dog. I vaguely remember that it was from Binhai City. At that time, I thought that he was actually in the same city as Second Brother Jin, but I didn’t plan on buying a dog at that time, so I forgot about it. As soon as you said that, I recalled it! ”

Snowy laughed and said, “That’s right! The owner of the dog is a pet shop owner that happens to know me very well. Uncle Jin asked me to accompany you to this shop to choose a dog, right?”

Jin Er nodded. “Yes. If it was just choosing an ordinary dog, I wouldn’t bother you––I’d just let him go and randomly buy it––but this dog is linked to his life. I wanted to ask you to personally make a trip down with him.”

Snowy willingly took the opportunity to leave the villa area.

“But, my dad and my mom…” she said, hesitating. After delaying for so long, her mother was probably already crazy angry. As soon as she entered her house, she would be scolded horribly.

“Don’t worry! I’ll talk to your dad and mom,” Jin Er patted his chest and promised.

“That’s great! Let’s go now!” Snowy was scared that a long delay would mean many hitches. She uneasily turned her head back to look in the direction of her house, and then hurriedly rushed them to leave. Otherwise, if her mother left the house and came to find her, she would not be able to go.

When she and Hei Zi got in the car and left the villa area, only then did Jin Er scratch his head and sigh. If he went to their home and told Jiang Tianda, he would probably be beaten to death… It was better to make a phone call, then block Jiang Tianda after he finished speaking with her.
