Chapter 41: Raising a Dog

The boy almost rested his chin on Ji Min's knees.

Seeing him looking over,

Lu Ran, who was almost lying on his knees, put his hands together and made a begging gesture:

"Boss Ji, Mr. Ji, Bodhisattva Ji, I didn't know what was good for me before. Can you be magnanimous and help me again?"

Ji Min didn't say anything for a long time.

He just stared at the child in front of him.

The pair of well-behaved eyes, half-upward, looked over.

They were full of killing power.

Lu Ran waited for a long time, his legs were numb from squatting, but he didn't wait for a reply.

"Hey." He patted the man's knees.

Ji Min finally spoke: "Take your hands away."

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"Do you agree?" Lu Ran asked.

Ji Min turned his head away.

He suppressed the inexplicable itching in his throat, and then asked in his usual calm voice:

"What's the matter?"

After asking, he said casually: "Stand up."

Lu Ran did not stand up.

He noticed that this person seemed to dislike others touching his legs, so he simply let go and sat down on the ground.

"It's just a small matter."

He looked up again.

"..."

Ji Min simply turned the wheelchair in a different direction with the remote control.

He had just finished turning.

Lu Ran climbed in front of his wheelchair again.

Ji Min: "...If you have something to say, say it quickly."

Lu Ran raised his eyes and glanced at him quickly.

His eyelashes trembled, and then drooped.

"I know that you persuaded me to study abroad at first, and I didn't go, so you were very angry."

Lu Ran whispered.

"I'm not so ungrateful as to refuse someone else's request and then shamelessly ask for a promise."

He said in a muffled voice, "I just want to ask, can I leave Da Huang with you during the day?"

Ji Min was stunned.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the boy again.

The child's milky white cheeks and the white earlobes between the soft black hair were covered with a faint red.

Obviously, it was not an easy thing for him to beg others with such a soft attitude.

But he hesitated for so long.

What he asked for was not his own future.

It was just for a puppy.

Ji Min's eyes were too heavy.

His eyebrows were cold, and his eyes carried the oppressive feeling unique to adults and superiors.

Lu Ran was stared at for a while and thought he disagreed.

He said hurriedly, "You don't need to do anything. Just find a place for it to stay. I will walk it and feed it in the morning and evening."

"It's old, it doesn't like to move or bark, it's okay to be locked in the cage."

The boy explained hurriedly.

It seems that due to anxiety, the red on the cheek became darker and slowly spread to the neck.

"Why are you looking for me?" The man asked calmly, "You should go to the pet store."

Lu Ran was very frank: "Because it's cool under the big tree. If you put it with you, no one will dare to touch it."

Although Lu Ran was joking with Shen Xingzhuo today.

But Shen Xingzhuo found out the location of Da Huang behind his back, which made Lu Ran nervous.

He can never let down his guard against the Shen family.

Lu Ran will never forget that it was Shen Xingzhuo who ordered others to kill Da Huang in his previous life.

He never dreamed of competing with Shen Xingran for his position in Shen Xingran's heart.

Lu Ran thought very clearly.

Shen Xingzhuo and Shen Xingran have lived together for more than ten years.

Even if Shen Xingzhuo occasionally quarrels with Shen Xingran, he suddenly remembers that he has a younger brother.

But they will always make up.

"Do you think I will agree?"

Ji Min spoke coldly, but his voice was much softer.

"Please." Lu Ran said.

President Ji said coldly. "Huh

." "Please!" Lu Ran continued to beg.

Ji Min turned the wheelchair around, his back was extremely indifferent.

But he suddenly threw an address and said, "Send it to my company tomorrow morning."

Outside the corridor.

Shen Xingzhuo looked at the door in front of him that was not tightly closed.

He stood quietly outside the door for a while, then turned around and walked away along the corridor. When he

arrived at the emergency exit, the security guard asked him, "

Second Young Master Shen, didn't you say you wanted to find your younger brother?" After saying that, the security guard looked at the rumored unruly second young master of the Shen family and pulled the corner of his mouth at him.

He showed a very ugly smile.

That night, President Ji was very indifferent to Lu Ran's request.

The next day, in the Ji's building.

There were still a few minutes before the clock-in time.

Employees from all departments were already in place.

Some were eating breakfast in a hurry, while others had already turned on their computers and were busy working.

There was another employee next to him who was talking on the phone as if no one was around: "You're too late, can I clock in for you? Hey, keep your voice down, our office is right under the eyes of the big devil, how dare I clock in for you..."

There was a lively atmosphere that only belongs to office workers.

In this morning chaos, the elevator door quietly opened.

Ji Min walked out with a wheelchair controlled by remote control.

He was working ten minutes later than usual for the first time.

At this point, everyone thought he was in the office, so no one noticed him for a while.

Until another kind of light and small footsteps sounded.

Finally, someone exclaimed: "Hey, why is there a puppy?"

"Wow, so cute!"

"What's wrong with your feet, dog?"

After a moment of surprise.

Then they found that the dog had a leash tied around its neck, and the leash spread...spread...

spread to the armrest of a wheelchair. A

light knot was tied on it.

The entire first floor office area was suddenly quiet.

Only the guy who had just made a phone call was left, still howling at the top of his voice: "I called you, hurry up..."

Suddenly, he finally felt the unusual quietness around him.

As soon as he lowered his head, he met his boss's penetrating eyes: "..."

Ji Min said nothing. In this silence,

he walked slowly into his office with a dog that was totally inconsistent with his style.

When the door of the office was closed,

all kinds of discussions broke out outside.

The news that the chairman brought a dog to work spread quickly.

But because of President Ji's cold and gloomy appearance, he didn't look like someone who would keep a pet.

So the news spread and became - a stray dog ​​entered the chairman's office.

The news reached the cleaning department.

The manager of the cleaning department immediately wiped the cold sweat and rushed in with a net bag.

The situation was urgent, so he knocked on the door twice.

Without waiting for a response, he opened the door and rushed in: "Chairman! Where is the dog!" As soon as he

finished speaking.

He saw a small but soft doghouse placed on the sofa in the corner of the spacious and bright chairman's office.

A small local dog was inside, staring at him with a pair of bright black eyes.

Seeing the net bag in his hand, he jumped off the sofa in surprise. He

hid behind the desk very thiefly.

So the manager accidentally made eye contact with Ji Min behind the desk.

The man still had his usual cold look.

He looked at the things in his hand and asked in a cold voice: "What are you doing?"

The manager smiled embarrassedly: "That...dog."

As soon as he finished speaking.

He saw the chairman, who seemed to be quite unkind, lowered his eyes and glanced at the puppy at his feet, and said:

"Mine."

"Oh, oh!" The manager suppressed his surprise and left.

He left, and the office outside began to spread: "Oh my god, is it really the chairman's dog?"

"It's strange, with the chairman's status, I thought he would raise a precious breed dog."

"I didn't expect it to be just a small local dog..."

Ji Min didn't care about the outside discussions.

Once he was immersed in work, his efficiency was very high.

Besides...

except for being a few minutes late for work today, it was no different from usual for him.

He worked for several hours in a row until lunch time.

Ji Min raised his head from the pile of documents and rubbed his eyebrows.

His eyes suddenly met a ball on the sofa.

A faint sense of absurdity and surprise gradually surged up.

He actually agreed to Lu Ran to help him raise a dog during the day?

Ji Min stared at the big yellow dog on the sofa.

A strong sense of unreality came over him.

No wonder Ji Min only realized it now.

It's true... this dog is too quiet.

It lay on the sofa and didn't move for several hours.

It was as quiet as a furry ornament.

Ji Min observed for a while from behind the desk.

As if it noticed his sight, the puppy on the sofa was also secretly observing him.

It looked very well-behaved, but in fact, there was some slight vigilance in its eyes.

When it sensed the external risks, it "whoosh" ran to his feet.

When the danger disappeared, it quietly moved away from him.

Just like its owner.

Ji Min controlled the wheelchair remotely and turned out from behind the sofa.

He looked at the time, took out a water bowl from the backpack beside him, filled it with some water, and put it in front of Da Huang.

Da Huang glanced at him and licked it twice out of courtesy.

Then it continued to look at him.

Mr. Ji was once again in the dilemma of staring at the puppy. He

was at a loss for a while.

He frowned and said concisely: "Drink."

Da Huang glanced at him and ran back to the sofa and curled up.

Ji Min: "..."

Forgive him for not having taken the so-called animal behavior and animal psychology in college.

After waiting for a while, the dog showed no intention of drinking water.

Ji Min left the water bowl there.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he took out his phone. He

flipped through his WeChat contacts and clicked on the little yellow dog's avatar.

"Why doesn't your dog drink water?" he asked.

The other party seemed to be busy, and after a few minutes, he replied: ?

Ji Min described it as detailed as possible: "I asked it to drink water, it drank two sips, looked at me, and went back to sleep."

Dahuang doesn't destroy the house: No?

Dahuang Bu Caijia: Why are you taking care of it? I thought it was your servant, or Chen the housekeeper or someone...

Ji Min looked at the message and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

He said: If you don't like it, take the dog away.

The other side immediately replied with an emoticon of kneeling and kowtowing.

Ji Min has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and continued to ask: So why doesn't it drink?

Dahuang Bu Caijia: Because it wants you to sprinkle some goat milk powder, there is in the schoolbag.

Ji Min: "..."

Quite picky.

Both people and dogs.

In the evening, Lu Ran got off work and came to Ji's building again.

Most people have already left work normally.

Only a small number are still rolling.

Lu Ran came to the floor where the chairman's office is located.

He came quite frequently some time ago.

But it is limited to delivering takeout.

Now most people have left the floor, and it is quiet everywhere.

Lu Ran, however, slowly walked towards the office in the depths.

After walking for a while, he stopped.

He felt like a warrior exploring the dragon cave.

Oh no, a warrior going to save the princess.

It's just that this princess is called Da Huang.

Lu Ran laughed at his own thoughts.

But the fact is, he hasn't felt so relaxed and happy when picking up Da Huang for a long time.

Before, he left Da Huang in the security room of the orphanage, and he also fostered Da Huang in a pet store during this period.

Every time he got off work, Lu Ran would rush over in a hurry.

On the way, his mind was full of the scene of Da Huang getting into a car accident.

"Dongdong."

Lu Ran knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

It was his usual cold and steady voice.

Lu Ran pushed open the door.

A simple and spacious office came into view.

Lu Ran was slightly stunned.

Before coming in, he had thought about what Ji Min's office looked like.

Because Ji Min has difficulty walking, and this is his private space, there may be many unusual designs.

But when he really came in, he found that Ji Min's office was very ordinary. So

ordinary that you can't see any flaws in this man.

It just looked exceptionally empty.

Behind the dark desk, Ji Min was staring at something with a frown.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, in such a large and cold office, so he inevitably looked a little lonely.

But the little yellow dog lying on the sofa nearby strangely diluted the loneliness.

It added a touch of warmth to the cold-toned office.

Seeing Lu Ran coming in,

Da Huang was the first to bark, jumped off the sofa, and hopped towards Lu Ran.

"Da Huang! Do you miss your daddy?"

Lu Ran knelt on the ground and hugged Da Huang.

Ji Min raised his head from the documents.

The boy stood at the door, hugging the puppy and kneading it.

It was a little noisy in the quiet office.

But it was surprisingly not annoying.

Ji Min looked at it for a while, and the traces of tightening between his brows unconsciously lightened a lot.

When the boy raised his eyes full of joy, he looked up at him.

Ji Min lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and sneered: "You almost wiped the area at the door clean."

Lu Ran: "..."

He looked carefully.

Seeing that Ji Min had no intention of leaving, he walked in again with Da Huang in his arms.

"Are you not leaving yet?" Ji Min asked.

Lu Ran patted the paper bag in his hand.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked over.

Lu Ran said, "It's a gift."

Ji Min's hand holding the pen paused slightly.

He raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that it was a paper bag of desserts.

The price of desserts in Jingshi is not low.

For a teenager working in a coffee shop, it should be a heartbreaking expense.

"Don't buy these in the future." Ji Min said, "I don't like them."

"Really?"

Lu Ran responded in surprise and took the bag back.

Ji Min: “…”
