Chapter 13: Finding the Dog

Mingyin went out to throw away the garbage and happened to see Matchmaker Wang talking to some aunties in the community.

"Have you heard? Someone in our neighborhood lost a dog, and she posted a bounty notice. If any kindhearted person can find her dog, she is willing to give that person three thousand dollars."

"Three thousand dollars! That's not a small amount."

"Yeah, if only I could find that dog!"

"You said it was just a dog, it's lost. You can buy several dogs with the three thousand dollars, there's no need to spend three thousand dollars to look for a dog."

"Who knows? Young people nowadays treat animals like treasures. You don't know. Last time I saw a short video on the Internet. Dogs eat better than humans. Don't you think it's infuriating?"

"Ah! In our past, animals were just animals. If they didn't obey, they would be sold or eaten. It's not like the young people today who raise animals like they are raising a son."

"Yeah. Young people nowadays really don't understand!"

"My girlfriend said that having a pet around is very healing."

"What's the point of talking about whether the disease is cured or not? I think they are just bored and complaining all day long."

Mingyin just threw the two bags of black garbage in her hand into the trash can.

Suddenly, Snow Cake rushed down from the upstairs holding a bag of black garbage.

He walked to the trash can, then jumped onto the stone next to it, pushed open the lid with his claws, and then threw the trash bag in his mouth.

The mothers who saw this scene were all shocked.

"This dog is so smart! It can even take out the trash for people!"

"Yes! It's amazing! Whose dog is this?"

"I have to take a picture of this and put it online, maybe it will go viral!"

Sister Xue likes to follow the trend and keep up with the pace of young people. She usually likes to play short videos and create personal accounts.

Seeing this, Matchmaker Wang said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "What's so strange about this? I've seen this happen several times! It's no big deal. She was just lucky to have bought a smart dog."

"You actually know this. Do you also know the dog's owner?" Sister Xue said.

At this time, the aunts saw the little white dog who had just thrown away the garbage walked up to a beautiful girl. He wagged his tail happily and circled around the girl excitedly.

"That girl is the dog's owner, right?"

Mingyin raised her hand and touched Xuebing's head: "Helping our mother take out the trash again?"

Snow Cake nodded happily.

[Yeah, mom, I am getting better and better!]

Mingyin praised him: "Yes, you are getting better and better at throwing away garbage."

She remembered that he was very clumsy when throwing away the garbage a month ago. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't throw it into the garbage bag and he often bit holes in the garbage bag. Now, after her training, he has become more and more skilled.

Sister Xue: "I didn't expect there could be such a smart dog."

Matchmaker Wang took a glance and thought of the time when she was almost bitten by her dog at her house.

"This is a crazy dog. I suggest you stay away from him."

Sister Xue was puzzled: "It doesn't look like that. This dog looks very smart."

The other mothers nodded.

Matchmaker Wang looked unhappy: "Believe it or not!"

"Mom! Why are you here?"

Suddenly, a young woman in a simple black dress appeared in front of Matchmaker Wang with a young man.

"Qianqian! Why are you back today?"

Matchmaker Wang was a little surprised to see her daughter and her boyfriend coming back.

Shu Yaqian smiled and said, "I just happened to have a day off this week, and Fei Hao also had a day off, so we came back together."

Sister Xue looked at them with a smile: "You two are really a perfect match, your mother did a great job in helping you with this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Yaqian smiled a little embarrassedly.

Then, her eyes fell on Mingyin who was not far away, and her eyes flickered: "Mingyin, you are here too?"

Mingyin was dressed casually and wore no makeup on her face, but even in her casual attire, her beauty could not be ignored.

Mingyin looked up when she heard the familiar voice.

Shu Yaqian walked over and said with a smile: "Mingyin, how have you been lately?"

Mingyin: “It’s pretty good.”

Shu Yaqian: "My mom told me that you quit your internship?"

Mingyin: “Yeah.”

Shu Yaqian: "Have you found a new job now?"

Mingyin shook her head: "I'm not looking for a job."

Shu Yaqian: "...Oh. I'm working at Jiang's Group now, and my boyfriend is also at Jiang's Group. Do you want to come work here? My boyfriend can introduce you to the company."

"Wow! Jiang's Group, that's a famous big company. I heard that many graduates can't get in. Sister Wang, your daughter is really promising, and she even has such an excellent boyfriend. Wow... your ancestors have done a lot of good deeds."

Matchmaker Wang was a little flattered by Sister Xue's praise. The thing she was most proud of in her life was that her daughter brought her honor.

Her daughter and Mingyin went to the same school, but their current situations are very different.

Thinking back to the past, whether it was academic performance or anything else, Mingyin was always better than her daughter.

Now both of them have graduated, and in just a few months, the gap between them has become apparent.

Mingyin now has no job and no partner, and now she needs her daughter to help her find a job.

Mingyin politely declined: "No, I have work to do."

Shu Yaqian was surprised: "You have a job? Is this the online job my mom was talking about?"

Mingyin: "About the same."

Her relationship with Shu Yaqian has always been average, and she doesn't like to have contact with her.

He turned around and called to the little white dog behind him: "Snowcake, let's go! We're going home!"

Having said that, she left with the snow cake.

Matchmaker Wang saw this and said: "This person still doesn't know what's good for her! Qianqian introduced a job to her, but she still doesn't have the face or the nose. She thinks she is still the princess in the school and everyone flatters her!"

Mingyin walked to the entrance of the staircase and saw a notice on the wall about finding a dog. There was a reward of three thousand yuan and the contact information of the dog owner was written in the lower right corner.

Mingyin immediately took out her cell phone and dialed the number.

After a while, the call was connected.

A young woman's anxious voice came from the other side.

"Hello, have you found my plums?"

Mingyin said politely, "Hello, I haven't found your pet yet. I'm a pet communicator. I called because I saw your missing dog notice. I want to know more about your pet. Maybe I can help you find it."

“…Oh.” The visitor felt a little disappointed when she heard that it wasn’t her dog that was found.

Then she asked, "Are you a pet communicator?"

Mingyin: “Yeah.”

Pet owner: "Can you help me find some plums?"

Mingyin nodded: "If the information provided is sufficient, I can find it."

The owner rekindled his hope: "That's great."

Mingyin: "Let's add a contact method first."

Pet owner: "Okay, okay."

Afterwards, the two added each other on WeChat.
