Chapter 32 Daily Life of a Cat: A Cat Employee's Periodic Report Summary...
Shi Wan answered the video call from Wang Zhizhi with a smile.
As soon as the call was answered, Wang Zhizhi's voice rushed out eagerly.
"Holy crap, Shi Xiaowan, you're living in a big villa now?! You're so rich, sister!!"
Shi Wan sat on a chair on the lawn, grinning as she casually picked up a cat and began to pet it. "How could I forget you? The godson's snack gift pack is already arranged. Little Wangzi, get ready for your reward."
"Oh, thank you, Your Majesty~" Wang Zhizhi teased her with a laugh, "Quick, show me your big villa, let me be jealous."
Shi Wan turned the camera around to show Wang Zhizhi her new home.
"It's really great, really great," Wang Zhizhi exclaimed. "This place is much better than your previous one-bedroom apartment. Who says a family workshop is no good? This family workshop is fantastic."
"I'll invite you over when I'm less busy. We can have hot pot at home. I also have a home theater here," Shi Wan invited.
Wang Zhizhi immediately let out a strange cry, "Oh my god! I can't take it anymore, there's even a home theater? I'm so envious, can I bring my favorite movie DVDs to watch?"
Her eyes sparkled as she leaned closer to the screen, trying to soften Shi Wan's heart.
Shi Wan was amused by her, "Of course you can."
Wang Zhizhi immediately cheered.
"You're out on a field assignment?" Shi Wan noticed she seemed to be sitting in a coffee shop, and tried to recall what day of the week it was. "Not at the company?"
Wang Zhizhi sighed and rolled her eyes. "Bald Li has gone mad. He made me come out and negotiate with each of the partner companies one by one."
A question mark slowly appeared on Shi Wan's face.
"Huh?? Negotiation?? What to talk about?? With whom??" Shi Wan asked the three soul-searching questions.
“Exactly!” Wang Zhizhi nodded vigorously in agreement. “I have no idea what he’s trying to do. He’s talking about improving the legal department’s professional skills. I think he’s just talking nonsense.”
"I'll just have to make do for now. It's not easy to find a good job these days," Wang Zhizhi said with a look of utter despair. "I have two children to support, so I can't just quit impulsively."
"I'll give you three seconds of silence," Shi Wan said sympathetically. "Let's get together properly when we're both free."
“Okay, I see your online store is doing quite well lately,” Wang Zhizhi said, changing the subject. “You’re really amazing, Shi Xiaowan.”
"Not at all, not at all, I'm still far from it." She feigned modesty, but her face was beaming with joy.
“Once you become a rich woman, I won’t feel guilty bragging about it anymore,” Wang Zhizhi joked with her.
The two chatted about all sorts of random things, until the conversation ended when Wang Zhizhi's phone was about to run out of battery.
Shi Wan's phone was getting quite hot.
But she was still not satisfied.
It's been a long time since I had such a pleasant chat with Zhizhi.
Everyone needs one or two close friends, otherwise they might become depressed.
The kitten in her arms was already fast asleep, purring softly. Shi Wan stroked the kitten's fluffy body and gently placed it on the soft cushion beside her.
The kitten naturally rolled over, curled up, and went back to sleep.
Looking at her brand-new home, Shi Wan felt incredibly happy.
The money she initially invested in the farm has long since been earned back many times over. However, Shi Wan rarely leaves the farm and spends very little money except for occasionally buying some necessities online.
Looking at the balance in her card, Shi Wan felt a little emotional.
I never imagined that one day she would say she wasn't interested in money.
It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years.
The boy is no longer poor.
Unable to sleep that night, Shi Wan spent half the night browsing online stores, ordering many appliances and home furnishings, and also buying herself some clothes.
Considering that she will be doing live streams frequently in the future, she also needs to buy a few new outfits to make a good impression.
When she woke up the next day, Tangyuan's paws were stepping on her face. Shi Wan felt the warm little pads on her cheek and was both amused and exasperated.
But I like it so much.
After teasing Tangyuan for a while until Tangyuan was about to get angry, Shi Wan finally got up, still feeling unsatisfied.
She brushed her teeth while taking a walk around her big house, heating up a sandwich and chocolate milk.
She makes a dozen or so sandwiches at a time and freezes them in the refrigerator. When she wants to eat them, she just takes them out and heats them up in the microwave.
The chocolate milk was bought online, and it was piled up in the cupboard or refrigerator in whole cases. Shi Wan would occasionally reach out and grab a bag to drink.
After a satisfying meal, I walked along the connecting corridor to the cat house. The cats were curled up in their favorite spots, looking incredibly lazy.
The once cramped house has become much larger, and the cats, who don't like to be crowded together, can now quietly stay in their own corners.
She pushed open the door, took a deep breath of the air filled with the scent of grass and earth, and began her day at Meow Meow Farm.
The first task is usually to conduct inspections.
Shi Wan held a notebook in her hand and went to see the cat grass field first.
Several early risers were already there, such as the energetic tabby cats. Yao Yao, Bu Bu, and Qi Qi, the three cats, have grown a lot thanks to Shi Wan's generous feeding, and are no longer the kind of cats she could hold in one hand.
The three of them always appeared together; good brothers always went together.
Right now, it's scurrying around in the cat grass, rubbing itself all over with the fresh scent of the grass.
Shi Wan checked the growth of the cat grass. Recently, she had been using double speed to prepare for autumn. Shi Wan had begun to consider whether to replant or simply harvest it all, planting it only in a hydroponic greenhouse during the winter and then replanting it in the ground next spring.
Yao Yao, Bu Bu, and Qi Qi learned how to weed and loosen the soil from the veteran employees in the planting area. Even though Shi Wan hadn't officially incorporated them into the work team yet, they always eagerly came over to help with weeding.
Maybe they just thought it was fun.
Next, she will go to the strawberry field and the pumpkin patch.
Sometimes, Fat Orange Cake would slowly follow at her feet, but he wasn't very interested in things that couldn't be eaten immediately. He would usually find a soft spot in the dirt and lie down, waiting for Shi Wan to come and take him to work in the factory.
Shi Wan would check for pests and diseases and take photos to record the ripening status of the fruit.
Occasionally, a curious kitten would reach out its paw to pry at the drooping strawberries. When Shi Wan saw this, she would gently pick the kitten up and tell it that the strawberries were not ripe and would not taste good.
She doesn't need to worry about the seasonality of strawberries for now, but she still remembers to build a shed for them, otherwise the strawberries will freeze if the temperature drops.
After the inspection is completed, it's harvest time.
Shi Wan put on gloves, picked up a small basket, and began harvesting ripe cat grass, strawberries, and pumpkins with the cats in the planting area.
Shi Wan bought tools from the system store to make it easier for the kittens to use. They would put on the tools and walk around in the fields. With their light steps, the harvested agricultural products would fall to the ground, and Shi Wan would usually follow behind and collect them into the basket.
Then Shi Wan would carry the cart full of agricultural products to the warehouse, and at this time, a few cats would follow behind the cart, forming a small escort team.
Warehouses and factories are both important workplaces.
The warehouse stores a large amount of high-quality raw materials and plays an important role in the farm's survival and development. While the cats obediently enter the factory to prepare for work, Shi Wan is not idle. She uses a cart to transport the necessary raw materials to the raw material room.
The cat staff will stand guard at the door and windowsill.
Whenever Shi Wan looked up, she would always see several pairs of round eyes staring intently at her.
Tangyuan especially likes to stay in that fixed spot on the windowsill, like a little supervisor.
In the afternoon, Shi Wan spent most of her time in the office building processing orders and responding to customer inquiries.
Most of the cats were taking naps in the house at this time.
Tangyuan likes to occupy the center of the sofa, Mianmian prefers the sunniest corner by the window, while Bingbing might sprawl on the carpet next to the desk.
The room was quiet, with only the sound of keyboard typing, the cat's steady breathing, and the occasional contented purr.
Sometimes, when a cat wakes up, it will come over and rub against Shi Wan's legs, jump onto the table and carefully walk past the keyboard, or nudge her hand away as she is writing with its head, asking for a brief petting.
Shi Wan would also stop to satisfy them, both as a break and to recharge her spirit.
Packaging products often involves a lively scene.
Cardboard boxes and foam paper seem to have a mysterious attraction for cats.
There are always one or two, like Huanhuan and Mianmian, who will try to jump into the empty cardboard boxes. Shi Wan even prepared several empty cardboard boxes and placed them next to her so that they could play.
In the evening, as the day's work draws to a close, Shi Wan will conduct one last inspection.
Lock the factory door and add food and water to the cat bowl placed outdoors.
In the middle of the night, some passing cats will stop to rest and fill their bellies before continuing their journey.
Cats know this is their most relaxing time, so they become even more affectionate.
They walked in waves around her feet, accompanying her on her final journey.
The setting sun cast long shadows of them, and a sense of tranquility filled the air.
This is Shi Wan's daily work routine with the cats on the farm.
There are no earth-shattering events, only a peaceful cycle of work, companionship, and mutual protection.
The cats can be mischievous at times and sometimes they might suddenly start fighting, but most of the time they stay by Shi Wan's side.
Shi Wan was very satisfied with this.
Shi Wan felt like she had entered a cycle of accumulating points, spending them all, accumulating points, and spending them all again.
The only thing that made her feel at ease was that she hadn't figured out what to unlock next.
I had no choice but to expend my energy using the cat food recipe simulator.
This led her to develop a standard formula cat food, still made with rabbit meat.
We tentatively put the chicken-based formula cat food we had previously acquired into production. The response wasn't as good as the sales of hypoallergenic cat food, but it was still acceptable.
There were at least many positive reviews, and Shi Wan also handled the negative reviews seriously.
So now when you search for "cat paw business", the posts that appear are mostly positive.
Shi Wan sometimes felt like she had spent money on advertising.
She also regularly schedules Wednesdays as her account's live streaming day.
After all, Wednesday was the most painful workday for Shi Wan, as it was a day when there was neither a village nor a shop in sight.
I feel like I've been tortured for two days already, but if I do the math, I'll be tortured for another two days.
Haha, that's really a shock.
She counts on her fingers every day, calculating what points she needs to reach so she can buy more cards.
She wanted to combine Factory No. 2 and Factory No. 3 into a larger factory, with more machines, specifically for the production of various snacks.
Factory No. 1 specializes in producing various staple foods.
Shi Wan made a list in her notebook, and finally came up with an astronomical figure.
Shi Wan: My God...
She was at her wit's end when she heard a series of mournful meows from outside, along with hissing sounds.
It sounds very aggressive.
Shi Wan quickly put down what she was doing and ran out to see what was going on.
What happened again?
