The kitchen staff were preparing lunch when they saw Su He and her companion. Aunt Liu greeted them with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Su? What brings you here? Aren't you busy upstairs?"

Su He smiled and said, "I came here to ask if we can keep cats in our kitchen. My cat followed me here, and I'd like to keep it here."

Aunt Liu had already seen the black cat in her arms, but thought it was a stray cat. She never expected it to be her pet!

"Oh, is this your cat? It came over yesterday afternoon and even helped catch a big rat. Chef Zheng really likes it and even prepared food for it, but unfortunately it didn't eat it."

Su He knew that Da Hei generally didn't eat food given to it by others, because she had seen a cat die from being poisoned after eating food given to it by others, so she was always very wary.

However, Su He had already told it before she left that the Su family's food was edible.

Before it came in, I told it that the food the people in the cafeteria give it is edible, so it probably won't starve to death even if it doesn't go up the mountain to catch mice.

Otherwise, it's really not convenient to go up the mountain if you live in this city.

Su He didn't want it to run back and forth every day.

Hearing that Chef Zheng liked it, Su He felt relieved. Although the canteen was generally under Director Wu's management, the kitchen staff were under the head chef's management.

The new head chef's surname is Zheng. He is in his forties and is a level 5 chef. Although his cooking skills are not as good as the previous head chef Liao's, they are still quite good.

However, Chef Zheng usually seems quite serious and doesn't smile much, so it's unexpected that he would like Dahei.

Su He felt much more at ease after hearing this, and added some more leverage for Dahei, saying, "Dahei is very good at catching mice, so we don't have to worry about it in the kitchen with him around."

Aunt Liu laughed when she heard this, "Then let's keep it here. The cafeteria used to have a cat, but it died in childbirth and none of its kittens survived. When it was here, there were far fewer mice in the cafeteria."

I stopped raising them after that because I couldn't find a suitable one.

But you named this dog Big Black, right? It doesn't eat the cafeteria food, so what should you do?

Upon hearing this, Su He quickly said, "Don't worry, Auntie. It used to refuse food from strangers, but now that I've talked to it, it's eaten."

"Wow, this little guy is so perceptive! That's rare. By the way, how old are your male and female cats?"

Su He felt a little embarrassed, but still said, "A little over a year old, a male cat."

Aunt Liu seemed relieved at this point. "It's a male cat. It's alright. You can keep it here without worry. I'll make sure you feed it well."

Aunt Qin nodded in agreement, "Yes, Xiao Su, don't worry, we've raised them before, we have experience."

Aunt Xu had gone to the toilet earlier and had just returned when she heard about this. She added, "It's alright. If you're worried, I have room at my place. You can keep it at my house."

Su He quickly shook her head, "No need, it's fine here. Dahei is very easy to take care of."

At this moment, Chef Zheng, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Don't worry, let it stay. We won't miss its meal."

Su He was surprised to hear this, not expecting Chef Zheng to speak up as well. Seeing how popular Dahei was, she finally felt relieved. "Okay, thank you everyone."

"No need to thank me, now that you're here, you're everyone's cat. Your name is Big Black, right? You're really good, your fur is shiny and glossy, you can tell you've been well taken care of."

Big Black knew what to do at this moment, and opened its pitiful cat eyes at the right time, meowing, which made the group of people like it to death.

Seeing this, Su He was completely relieved. She gave Da Hei a few more instructions, telling it to be obedient and not to cause trouble. It was okay for it to go out for a walk, but it shouldn't eat outside, etc., before reluctantly leaving.
