Chapter 16 Zhong Heiya
◎Oh no, I'm not going to be considered a mistress, am I?◎
Including people and dogs? Even if Ji Nan suddenly agreed one day, Zhong Jiajing would never agree.
After all, most men are boring, especially the bad men who are cold and sarcastic.
The dogs were handed over on Saturday afternoon. When Ji Nan handed the two gleaming golden leashes to Zhong Jiajing, he deliberately asked, "Why didn't you bring your ID as collateral this time?"
God knows she hasn't gone out to walk the dog for several days. The Magic City has already felt a hint of cool autumn air during this period, so Zhong Jiajing dared to ask to walk the dog during the day.
She glanced at him, somewhat blaming him for his lack of understanding of romance. "What kind of relationship do we have? Do we really need to measure it with documents?"
Ji Nan glared at her and sneered, "Humph, it's just business. Besides, what kind of friendship do we have? Are you really the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl by riding on this Magpie Bridge built by Xiaobai? If that's what you really want to say, you should go find that one-day Qixi Festival date in your company."
These words sounded sour, and the old man who was sitting by the flower bed resting and eavesdropping couldn't help laughing.
Zhong Jiajing didn't understand what the old man was laughing at. She was simply furious. "What kind of man are you, bringing up something that happened eight years ago?"
"What kind of man are you? What kind of man are you?" The old man hummed Jay Chou's song, not knowing whether he was mocking him.
Anyway, Ji Nan was completely silent.
When Zhong Jiajing saw someone joining in, she immediately displayed her confidence.
"You're clearly bullying me because I'm not a student," Zhong Jiajing angrily searched her bag, finally finding only a salary card and tossing it at him. "Okay, okay, I'll give you all my belongings in exchange."
The momentum of throwing the card is as domineering as the line in the domineering CEO novel: "Woman, swipe my card."
Ji Nan raised his eyebrows while holding the card, and then naturally put it into his pocket, "Okay, let's use this for now."
What was the point of lingering on all these days? It was all for that little bit of money. Zhong Jiajing had the audacity to say that just now because, in her still-pure college student mindset, anyone with a modicum of morality wouldn't accept something as valuable as her life.
But she absolutely forgot that the man in front of her had no martial ethics at all.
Seeing the girl's annoyed look as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Ji Nan laughed a little, "Do you regret it?"
"How is that possible?" Zhong Jiajing pretended to be calm, "I was just born not to like to laugh."
As she said this, she turned around and was about to leave, but Ji Nan stopped her in time.
"Wait a moment."
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Zhong Jiajing asked with a forced smile.
"Do you have any money on you?" he asked.
Zhong Jiajing held her phone tightly, cautiously, as if afraid he would rob her. "I told you I've given you everything I have, so it's no use regretting it now."
Ji Nan didn't intend to argue with her about this topic anymore. He got straight to the point and said, "I have a dinner party later to discuss work. Do you want the dog returned before or after dinner?"
It was a rare opportunity, so it had to be the latter.
Ji Nan nodded and said, "Okay, so I don't see you begging under the bridge at night. Take it and eat."
Yes, the man transferred a generous amount of food allowance to her.
"Don't be like this, we can still afford to eat." She muttered silently.
Ji Nan reached out and clicked the receive button for her. "You can earn interest if you deposit the money in the bank. If that doesn't work, you can just use it as dog-sitting fee."
To Zhong Jiajing, this was like giving the dogs money to have a good meal. Once she understood this, she felt much more at ease.
Before saying goodbye, she suddenly thought of a question.
"What did you name the puppy?"
Although this dog was adopted for half a month before, it has finally left its original family, so there seems no need to continue using that name.
When she was staying in the pet shop, Zhong Jiajing followed the boss and called it Black Thirteen, because this was the thirteenth dog he had taken in, and its color was black. It was not a serious name.
Ji Nan was silent for a moment, then said, "Aren't you its mother?"
"Then you are still its father now!" Zhong Jiajing retorted.
The old man who was watching the excitement suddenly stood up and inserted himself between the two of them, "Stop arguing, stop arguing."
"Although divorce due to relationship discord is common in modern society, we should at least consider the children's feelings, right?" the old man said, pointing to two dogs, one large and one small. "No matter how big the conflict is, we can't argue in front of the children. Think about it, isn't that reasonable?"
The old man talked a lot, leaving the two people and the dog stunned.
Zhong Jiajing looked terrified. "No, sir, we just want to give the dog a name. You don't need to make so many assumptions, right?"
The old man waved his hand. "You two are so fussy about a name. You don't act like parents at all."
"I'm good at naming. Just tell me your last name and I'll come up with it easily."
Ji Nan knew that arguing about this matter was a waste of time, so he simply gave his trust to the old man. He said, "Just take his mother's surname, Zhong."
The old man stroked his nonexistent beard in the air, and after a while pointed at the sign across the street and said, "This one is black in color and smells good, why not call it Zhong Black Duck?"
The two of them looked at the Zhou Hei Ya sign opposite and suddenly fell silent.
"Haha, you have a strong accent." After a while, Ji Nan said this with an expressionless face.
The old man laughed and said, "Yes, I have a strong taste."
Well, besides listening to gossip, my hearing loss is also quite serious.
When it was getting a little dark, Zhong Jiajing dragged the tireless Ergou to a special dog restaurant.
She could just buy a pancake from the roadside to fill her stomach, but she absolutely couldn't let her dog down. She searched the Internet for a long time before she found such a stylish dog-friendly shop.
Most shopping malls do not allow pets, so this store is opened on the street.
The streets are lined with plane trees. Even though they have lost the lush greenery of summer, they have added a bit of autumn romance, which is really romantic.
The street is full of restaurants of various characteristics, and there are many people walking, cycling, or taking photos and checking in.
After dinner, Zhong Jiajing took the two puppies for a walk along the road to help digest the food, waiting for Boss Ji to call them back at any time.
The environment was so beautiful that Zhong Jiajing had to look back three times and take four photos every time she walked two steps.
When she was about to ask a young lady passing by to help her take a beautiful photo, the two dogs suddenly pounced on the floor-to-ceiling glass window of a store diagonally in front of them.
Coincidentally and unfortunately, sitting behind the glass was Ji Nan and his partner who was eating with his mouth wide open and slurping.
She looked terrified and desperately pulled the two dogs back, fearing that this operation would ruin the project.
She clearly remembered that an intern came to the company last week. After the boss asked him to create a group chat including partners and the boss himself, he was going to promote the other party's leader to an administrator, but he accidentally kicked the person out of the group for three whole days. She still remembered it vividly.
The boss was puzzled at the time as to why the other leader hadn't said anything after three days. The boss calmly called the person, but the other party was naturally not happy.
Zhong Jiajing had no idea whether the subsequent project was successfully negotiated. In any case, Zhong Jiajing never saw the free little turkey again the next day.
This incident left an indelible shadow on Zhong Jiajing's young mind. She, a working girl, would never let it affect her boss's business and make money. She would always keep this in mind!
Unfortunately, she, a weak woman weighing only a hundred pounds, could not make the two strong "little" dogs go back.
When she met Ji Nan's mysterious eyes, she really wanted to cry.
The business partner looked at the familiar Samoyed, his lips trembling slightly, "Oh no, I won't be mistaken for a male mistress, right?"
Ji Nan gave a mysterious smile, "My aesthetic taste is not so bad."
"Also," he glanced at Zhong Jiajing, who looked hopeless, and continued, "I think it's time for you to get your eyes treated."
The glass door was slammed by the puppies. Ji Nan stretched out his index finger to signal them to be quiet, then nodded to indicate to Zhong Jiajing that he would go out soon.
Ye Tan pulled Ji Nan's sleeve and asked, "Why don't you ask your sister-in-law to come in and eat with you?"
Ji Nan looked at him as if he were a fool. "Your brain needs a new one too. It's a pity that someone like you wouldn't be accepted even if I paid two million to trade it in back home."
"???" Ye Tan was really angry. "I've seen many men like you. Once you become rich, you want to abandon your wife. This is not only the case in my hometown, but people like you will be condemned all over the world!"
Ji Nan sneered, "Okay, then let her come in and fight me with you for the world."
The author has something to say:
As for why I have been a little more diligent in updating recently, it’s because I applied for a list for myself, and right now the little black room is chasing me!!!
I originally thought this would be finished in 50,000 or 60,000 words, but I'm only halfway through writing it...
