Chapter 52 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Sixteen) Shen Shumeng…

After receiving Shen Zechen's reply, Shen Shumeng simply sent a message to Gu Jin: "You can eat it if you want."

Lin You also saw the message. Shen Shumeng had already started packing pet snacks and even packed them into two portions, clearly one for Gu Jin and one for Qiu Tian.

The two single people stared in disbelief for a long time, and even Shen Zechen couldn't help but feel extremely sympathetic towards Gu Jin.

To everyone's surprise, while they both realized that Gu Jin was just being coquettish and asking for a gift, Shen Xiaomei acted as if she didn't understand and directly gave the male lead a huge bag of PDA.

Gu Jin received a positive reply and waited expectantly for the delivery. Same-city express delivery was fast, and he received a huge package in two hours.

Inside was a bag of dog toys, a bag of autumn-sized clothes, and two large bags, one of which contained dog treats with his name on it.

There was also a small note next to it, guaranteeing the cleanliness and hygiene of the dog treats, and specifically emphasizing that they are also safe for humans to eat.

Gu Jin sat against the wall, clutching a pile of things, looking utterly dejected. When Qiu Tian, ​​having eaten and drunk her fill, strolled over, she called out to the toys.

"Hey, not bad! Ah Jin, you even know to buy things for your little brother Qiutian!"

Mrs. Gu looked through the snacks first and couldn't help but nod: "This is an old brand, the products are very clean, and we love to eat them in the fall. You really put thought into this one."

She looked at the toys and clothes again, and they all suited her perfectly. While putting an indigo bow tie on Qiutian, she praised Gu Jin for finally having good taste.

Gu Jin: ………

The most deadly betrayal comes from your own mother!

"I didn't buy it; someone gave it to Qiutian." Gu Jin's tone was very mournful. He tried to hold back, but he couldn't help telling his mother about his miserable experience today.

"Didn't I make myself clear? How did it turn into me wanting to eat dog treats!" Gu Jin pouted, feeling extremely wronged.

With what little maternal love she had left, Gu's mother forced herself not to laugh out loud. Holding Qiu Tian in her arms, she hurried back to the bedroom and closed the door.

Even through the soundproof door, Gu Jin could still hear his mother's infectious laughter. Half an hour later, he could still hear occasional "haha" sounds coming from his mother's room.

Gu Jin finally lost his temper, stood up angrily, grabbed his keys, and drove back to school. Tomorrow he was determined to make things clear to Shen Shumeng: he, Gu Jin, didn't like being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)!

Shen Zechen, a heartless parent who always exploited his younger sister's labor, gave her a weekend off and, under the pretense of his salary, gave her a five-figure allowance to go shopping for clothes.

Well, it really wasn't because I felt sorry for Gu Jin that I regained that tiny bit of conscience I had left.

Gu Jin finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and took out the long-prepared schedule to formally invite Shen Shumeng on a date.

The two spent half a day at the amusement park, had lunch at a romantic French restaurant, watched a sweet romantic movie, took a walk in the park, and played games like tossing toys and throwing beanbags.

Apart from Shen Shumeng occasionally asking about autumn, and Gu Jin repeatedly emphasizing that he doesn't eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), the atmosphere between the two was still warm and harmonious.

As for why Shen Zechen was able to trust his sister to act alone, one reason was that Wen Yin, that unstable factor, no longer existed, and another reason was that Lin You discovered that his sister was also accompanied by security personnel.

This shows that the country values ​​him highly, and Shen Zechen even bragged about it to Lin You for several days.

A group of people from the information security department held a special meeting to discuss the matter. They had already dealt with Shen Zechen's plea for help, but whether this big shot, Shen Zechen, was willing to join a national institution was still uncertain.

With his skill level, even if he doesn't do anything illegal or disorderly, just working as a technical consultant for some companies, or taking on jobs like firewall and network repair, he could earn in half a day what others earn in half a year.

He also opened a pet shop and promoted it online, looking very serious and hardworking, as if he wanted to make the shop a success. Why would he want to work here?

The meeting lasted three hours, and it was finally decided that Xiao Wang, who had been in charge of following up on the Dark Lord's operation, would take the police dog borrowed from next door to Shen Zechen's "Warm Pet Shop" to sound him out.

Without his sister's help, Shen Zechen was indeed busier, since even if he didn't need to be a cashier all the time, he still had to restock the empty shelves.

Just as he was debating whether to find a helper, he saw a slightly balding man walk in leading a majestic German Shepherd.

Upon seeing the newcomer's dark circles, signature hairstyle, and the dignified-looking dog, Shen Zechen's eyes immediately lit up.

He felt he would soon have helpers, and they wouldn't even cost him any money.

Xiao Wang's real name is Wang Aimin. He is almost forty years old. Two years ago, after Shen Zechen made a name for himself as the Dark Lord on the dark web, he had been responsible for observing Shen Zechen's actions. He believed that he had a certain understanding of Shen Zechen's personality.

A talented young man has the right to be arrogant. He thought he would meet a rebellious and domineering Dark Lord, but he didn't expect that on their first meeting, Shen Zechen's eyes would light up... and he would go to greet the police dog next to him.

The German Shepherd sat solemnly to one side. Shen Zechen admired it, circling it three times before gently stroking its head and back. Only then did he remember to ask Wang Aimin, "Is this customer here to bathe their pet, or to buy something?"

"Oh, buy some dog food." Wang Aimin glanced at the shelf and then said, "And pick out a few toys for it too."

"I have some dog food here that you can try. Why don't you let your dog have a taste?" Shen Zechen took out half a bag of dog food, then took a disposable food container, poured out a small bowl, and placed it in front of the German Shepherd.

The German Shepherd's eyes were fixed on the bowl, its saliva almost dripping down, yet it remained sitting upright, clearly having undergone distraction training.

Shen Zechen then subtly made a hand gesture on its head and silently recited a mantra.

[Ding! Tamed Beast +1, Breed: Dog, Taming Level 5, Countdown: 25 days, Current Stats: 1574/10000]

The German Shepherd looked at him with a more affectionate gaze, and its tail wagged involuntarily at him, but it didn't circle around him like other tamed pets.

Xiao Wang then realized what was happening a little slow and hurriedly ordered, "Zhuifeng, it's ready to eat."

The small bowl of dog food was quickly devoured. Taking advantage of this short time, Xiao Wang tried to get information out of Shen Zechen: "Boss, you're so young, and you're still a student at X University. After graduation, do you just plan to keep this pet shop running?"

Before Shen Zechen could answer, a customer next to him disagreed, "What's wrong with this pet shop? Don't underestimate our Wenxin Pet Shop, it's a well-known online celebrity shop."

Nowadays, many college graduates end up working in fields unrelated to their majors; those who start their own businesses are truly capable!

"Exactly! There are even college graduates who can't find jobs and end up selling jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes). What's the difference if you can make money? Besides, opening a pet shop is so much easier than working for a boss and getting yelled at every day!"

A group of people echoed this sentiment, giving Wang Aimin very unfriendly looks, fearing that Shen Zechen would listen to him and close the shop and leave.

Wang Aimin was quite taken aback. He looked at Shen Zechen anxiously, worried that he thought the same thing.

Shen Zechen smiled and said, "I'm just running this pet shop for fun. I still want to find a stable job."

Hearing this, Xiao Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned closer to ask, "What kind of job are you looking for? I know quite a few people, can you introduce me to some bosses?"

"Yes, of course it has to be a permanent position." After Shen Zechen finished speaking, several people around him nodded in agreement. Being able to take the civil service exam is indeed a stable and good job.

Xiao Wang's eyes lit up immediately, but Shen Zechen continued, "But I don't want to go to work every day. It would be great if I could work from home, so I could still take care of the store's business."

One customer couldn't help but laugh and said, "The young boss's idea is good, but it's not very feasible. I've never heard of any civil servant in our country who can work from home."

The customers all thought he was joking, but Wang Aimin saw through something. Did Shen Zechen suspect his identity?

Xiao Wang tentatively took over his work of organizing the shelves, and sure enough, Shen Zechen didn't mind at all. He even asked Xiao Wang for a hand when unpacking and loading the goods.

It was busy until three or four in the afternoon when the number of customers in the store finally decreased. Only then did Xiao Wang approach Shen Zechen and ask, "Any other requests?"

"What other requirements?" Shen Zechen asked with a puzzled look, as if he hadn't understood what Xiao Wang was saying.

As he asked the questions, he also teased the German Shepherd. The majestic dog performed each action according to his commands with precision and speed, making Shen Zechen extremely envious.

His younger sister likes cute and intelligent fluffy dogs, while he prefers domineering and majestic ones, especially loyal and self-controlled dogs. This German Shepherd named Chasing Wind is exactly what he likes.

Shen Zechen poured some more dog food for Zhuifeng and opened a bag of beef jerky. Watching it quickly finish eating, Shen Zechen couldn't help but pat its head.

Xiao Wang is a technical backbone in the information department, but he is not very good at interpersonal communication. He couldn't tell whether Shen Zechen really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.

Just as he was about to explain, the man suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean that matter."

Wang Aimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Before she could speak, Shen Zechen took out his laptop, which contained a job posting from three days ago for employees of the Wenxin Pet Shop.

"You came to apply after seeing this message, right? You did a pretty good job this afternoon. I don't have any other requirements. Bringing your dog to work is fine too."

Shen Zechen's attitude was serious, as if he were really recruiting, as if he wasn't the one who had just posted the job ad and even changed the posting date.

"The salary and benefits will be as stated above. You can come to work on Saturdays and Sundays. We open around 10 a.m. and you can leave at 6 p.m. Your main responsibilities are cashiering and organizing goods..."

Shen Zechen spoke with such seriousness, as if having Xiao Wang work all afternoon was merely a trial period for the newly hired employee.

Xiao Wang... shamefully fell for it. His job sounded prestigious, but he had to get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs every day. In special circumstances, he would have to work all night. He hadn't slept in for almost half a year.

Look at his receding hairline and his weathered face, who would guess he's only thirty-eight this year!

When we go out with his father, strangers often mistake them for brothers.

Shen Zechen's situation is different. He only works two days a week, and the salary and benefits are quite good. Can't he really switch jobs and work here?

Shen Zechen was just making a small joke with his future colleague, but the man didn't say a word for a while.

He looked up and saw a longing gleam in the other person's bloodshot eyes.

Lin You couldn't help but sigh, "I wish I had those working hours and the pay! It's the job of my dreams!"

"So do you think we'd still have a chance to get a government job if we stole from the government?" Shen Zechen said calmly to Lin You in his heart.

Fortunately, Xiao Wang lived up to his name and was even more passionate about serving the people. He regretfully declined the tempting job offer and explained his purpose for coming.

Wang Aimin took out his work ID and introduced himself: "I am a technician from the Ministry of Information Security, mainly responsible for cases of illegal intrusion into national departments via the network."

When this was mentioned, he smiled amicably at Shen Zechen. Back when he first started working, many people would come and cause trouble for him, and he would often stay up until two or three in the morning, and all night was a common occurrence.

This situation only changed two years ago when Shen Zechen suddenly appeared. This big shot went on a rampage among those petty villains, beating everyone so badly that they dared not even extend their claws.

Even now, they still go out to patrol from time to time, and if they catch anything that's not behaving properly, they'll give it a good beating, like they're marking out territory.

After that, Xiao Wang's task became much easier. He only needed to keep an eye on Dark Lord's movements and help him fill in any gaps in his knowledge.

Although he still works overtime until late at night, he doesn't have to use his brain as much anymore, which is how he managed to keep his thinning hair from becoming as shiny as his boss's.

"I've come to ask if Comrade Shen has any plans to join a government department?" Wang Aimin's expression was serious, but his eyes revealed a hint of unease.
