Chapter 158 The Captain Becomes a Cat Slave, Nannan is Here
Before dinner, Sister Zhou brought the team members to visit in person.
Thanks to Zhao Simo's accidental discovery of the source of the precious crystal, the core secret that Ji Yue's top management tried so hard to conceal could not be concealed any longer.
Therefore, the case that Sister Zhou and her team were responsible for soon saw new progress. Following this breakthrough, they investigated the case inside and out at lightning speed. The relevant personnel who should be arrested were arrested and those who should be sentenced were sentenced, and the case was closed perfectly.
The bureau commended all members of their team.
Zhao Simo was also credited with great merit for discovering the Baojing Mine.
In addition to the merits gained by Xiao Wang's team in solving the textile factory's weapon murder case and intercepting the reported human skin cloth, their team can be said to have had a great harvest this time, with three good things coming together!
So Sister Zhou and Xiao Wang discussed it and decided to have a barbecue buffet on the rooftop garden of the apartment building to celebrate for everyone.
Xiao Wang was still busy helping everyone apply for Duoduo's rewards, so he left the important task of inviting the captain to attend to Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou actually didn't want to come. The captain used to be a mission maniac. He was either on a mission or on the way to a mission day and night. Now that he has finally stopped working so hard, he just stays at home with his cat and rarely steps out of the room unless it is necessary. Anyone who dares to disturb him will definitely get a very serious and cold face.
If it were just this, it would be fine. But I'm afraid that the captain will remember you because of this and arrange for you to have double the training and double the work.
Because I think you are too idle╮(╯▽╰)╭
There is no problem with phone calls and video calls, but Sister Zhou feels that this is not solemn enough and lacks a sense of ceremony.
Since she wanted the so-called sense of ritual, Xiao Wang decisively asked her to come and experience it in person.
So Sister Zhou prepared herself mentally for being rejected in advance, and brought a few more team members with her to give her courage and cheer her up. She carefully knocked on the captain's door with a smile on her face.
Zhao Simo learned their purpose and turned to look at Rong Zhen, whose cat-like eyes sparkled with curiosity and eagerness to make a move. To Sister Zhou's surprise, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll take Zhen Zhen there later."
"Zhenzhen?" Sister Zhou and the others were surprised and confused when they heard this extremely intimate name from his mouth.
Zhao Simo turned sideways to reveal his pretty figure on the sofa in the living room, and said with a hint of boasting, "This is the cat I raised. Her name is Zhenzhen. I'll introduce her to you later when I get upstairs."
When Sister Zhou saw the calico cat that looked like a Maine Coon, she blurted out, "Captain, when did you change cats?"
"Yes, yes, Captain, isn't the one you raise a small calico? When did you switch to a large calico?"
They didn't know anything about it, not even a whisper. The captain was keeping the news secret really well.
The team members were all surprised.
Zhao Simo glanced at them dissatisfiedly, "Who said I changed cats? I have only raised this one from the beginning to the end. Don't slander my innocence."
Sister Zhou and team members: “Huh?” What does raising a cat have to do with innocence?
Wait, he said he never changed cats. Since the captain doesn't want to lie, then this cat in front of me...
"She is the little three-flowered cat. She was the one who discovered the precious crystal mine. Because she was too curious, she accidentally swallowed a few and grew up prematurely." Zhao Simo answered their questions in time and confirmed the guess in everyone's mind.
So that's how it was. Sister Zhou and the others suddenly realized what was going on and actively invited her, "She's a meritorious cat. Captain, you must bring her along later. We'll prepare the best cat food and meat for her!"
By the way, bring her big white cat over as well, so that the two little... ahem, big cats can take the opportunity to make friends and play together in the future.
Sister Zhou was secretly making plans in her mind and greeted Rongzhen enthusiastically from a distance.
Rong Zhen politely waved her paw at them, causing a few people outside the door to cheer softly, their faces flushed with excitement.
Zhao Simo couldn't bear to watch, so he straightened his body to block their coveted sight and emphasized: "This is my cat, please keep your distance."
Everyone was nodding in agreement, but in reality, all they could think of was the image of the beautiful calico cat. They were secretly thinking that when the captain brought the cat to the rooftop garden later, they would definitely find a chance to stroke that beautiful, soft fur to see if it felt like they had expected.
Fortunately, Zhao Simo didn't know that they had such an idea in mind, otherwise he would not have introduced his cat to them. It would be better not to go to this party.
Fortunately, he didn't know and was in the mood to tell them about his cat's eating habits.
"My cat doesn't like cat food. Fresh meat must be edible by humans, preferably made into raw sashimi. She will also eat grilled meat, but some of it needs to be marinated in advance and with less seasoning. As for fruit, she generally loves it. I'll bring some over when the time comes. Also, as for drinks..."
Barbara, blah blah, I can't stop talking about it once I bring it up.
It only took a minute or two for Sister Zhou and the others to go from being so serious at taking notes at the beginning to being numb and speechless at the end.
When Zhao Simo finally finished speaking with a lingering feeling, several people expressed the same feeling in their hearts - the captain has really changed. Without them knowing, their iron-faced, cold-blooded, ruthless and taciturn captain has turned into a nagging cat slave!
If those girls in the bureau who still have illusions about him knew this, they would be so disillusioned and disappointed.
In the past, his particularly solemn and cold face could not stop the girls' passionate hearts, but now, if he goes to a public place and speaks out what he just said, all the peach blossoms will automatically disappear.
"What's with that look on your face? Did you hear and remember everything I just said?" Captain Zhao slammed the blackboard.
Sister Zhou and the others stood at attention instantly and replied loudly, "I heard it clearly and I'll remember it!"
Zhao Simo nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you guys go and get ready." Then he slammed the door shut without inviting them in to sit down.
Sister Zhou and team members: "..."
There is no way, they are used to it, used to it. The captain they are familiar with is finally back, and they can go back to work with peace of mind.
At the same time, Zhao Simo began to make preparations after closing the door.
Since it was a self-service barbecue, he couldn't bring any ingredients with him. Including the fruits mentioned before, he packed three big bags, most of which were for him and the cat, and the rest were for others.
Rongzhen poked his head out to take a look and found that they were all top-notch stuff. It was said that they were specially supplied to him by the logistics department of the bureau or some other agencies.
Sister Zhou and the others may not have even seen it, let alone eaten it. Now they finally have the chance to see it and taste how it tastes. Not to mention that it is the good ingredients they have left over, even the scraps would probably be rare.
Of course, as the captain, Zhao Simo was not so tasteless as to eat the good food himself and let his teammates eat the leftovers. The parts left for them were all good parts, but the portion was slightly smaller than that prepared for them.
After all, there are only so many special supplies, so he always has to prioritize the cats first.
Rongzhen didn't know about this. He looked around at the various ingredients with his tail up, and couldn't help licking his lips, looking forward to the upcoming garden barbecue.
After Zhao Simo prepared his things, he pulled her over and said, "I'm going to formally introduce you to them when we get upstairs. Why don't you give you a bath first?"
Rong Zhen hit his chin with her cat claws, leaving two plum blossom marks, and fell to the ground.
"Awooo!" Humans and cats should not touch each other, refuse!
In the past, the little kitten had no choice, and since his bathing skills were pretty good, she could barely accept it.
Now, she is a grown-up cat and has the ability to be independent. She can no longer be spoiled by her owner.
Just think about him bathing her cat body, just like bathing a young girl of her prime, and they don't have any close relationship other than master and servant. This kind of thing is really hard to accept.
Even if she was dazzled by his masculinity, she could not compromise on matters of principle.
Fortunately, Zhao Simo just made a suggestion and did not force her to agree.
If you don’t want to bathe, don’t bathe it. Just comb its hair instead.
This is acceptable.
Rongzhen lay on the carpet and let Zhao Simo use a comb to slowly remove her hair, and do some decoration and dressing up at the same time.
At first she didn't notice his little tricks, until she looked in the mirror and saw that she was dressed in ribbons and glitter, looking exquisite, noble and extraordinarily beautiful.
Although I didn't get her consent, it really matched her feelings, and every part of it touched her heart.
It turns out that the owner is not only a great cook, but also has a unique aesthetic taste.
This is certainly not her self-praise, but the fact that she was praised by everyone after going to the rooftop.
The rooftop garden is taken care of by a dedicated person. Even in the increasingly cold autumn, there are still flowers in full bloom, trees in shade, and bees and butterflies lingering. It is as beautiful as a painting of a paradise. No wonder it is so popular with Sister Zhou and others. They always like to come here for leisure, entertainment, and even meetings and work.
Rongzhen also liked it very much. She jumped out of Zhao Simo's arms and chased a butterfly flying past her and jumped into the flowers like an ordinary cat.
Zhao Simo worriedly reminded from behind: "Zhenzhen, be careful, remember not to go to the edge."
"Ah~~" The team members who had never seen him like this all looked sideways and used their eyes to ask each other about the latest news.
What's going on? I haven't seen the captain for a few days, and he seems like a different person.
Then Sister Zhou and a few others whispered to them behind Zhao Simo's back for a while, and everyone understood after that.
The person pretended not to know, chose a good place to barbecue and sat down, with a smile on his face, his eyes never leaving the bird fluttering and playing in the flowers.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed, and he looked at Sister Zhou: "Did you bring your Dabai here too?"
Sister Zhou had long been aware of his concern and had to intercede on behalf of her cat, Dabai: "Captain, although Dabai is a male cat, he has been neutered. He is a male cat. There is no way he can do anything to your cat, Zhenzhen. Before, there was a size difference between the two of them, but now Zhenzhen is bigger than Dabai. You don't have to worry about her being at a disadvantage."
Even if there is a loss, it may be her Dabai who suffers.
But there is no way. If Dabai doesn't make friends with people like him, he will stay at home all day, eating and sleeping. It is estimated that he will either die of obesity or depression in the end.
So for the sake of its life, she, as its owner, really risked her life and gave it a chance to make friends despite the captain's overwhelming pressure and cold eyes. Just thinking about it makes her shed tears.
The big white cat, who was taken care of so much by its owner, was still unaware of it and was lying leisurely in the flowers, wagging its tail and taking a nap.
Until a calico cat chasing a butterfly appeared before its eyes, it instantly became energetic and greeted it enthusiastically: "Hi, beautiful lady, hello, I am Dabai, nice to meet you."
Rongzhen paused and looked at the chubby white cat nestled among the flowers. He tilted his head in confusion, "Dabai?"
It’s quite vivid. It turns out that this is Sister Zhou’s Dabai.
The big white cat nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'm from Zhou Zhou's family. Whose family are you from?"
As soon as the word "ah" came out, I started to pinch it unconsciously.
Rongzhen Cat twitched his lips and smiled awkwardly, which made the big white cat's eyes light up and meow even louder.
Rongzhen: “…”
Rongzhen: "Can you speak normally? Like me, ow--"
"Isn't Awoo the cry of a tiger or a big cat? We should meow." The fat white face was full of confusion.
Rongzhen stopped chasing butterflies and squatted in front of the big white cat. "But my owner told me that cats meow only to please humans. Normal cats can woo, woo, woo. Now learn from me."
The big white cat opened its eyes wide, not daring to believe it. Finally, under Rong Zhen's teaching and urging, it hesitantly let out a small howl.
After that, the two cats established a preliminary friendship.
Good friends naturally like to share little secrets. Dabai quietly glanced at the crowd not far away, then whispered in Rongzhen's ear, "Let me tell you a little secret. Actually, before I came here, I wasn't called Dabai. I had another name, given to me by my previous owner. She treated me even better than Sister Zhou, but unfortunately she passed away."
Someone saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but want to come over and kick the big white cat away to protect our beautiful Sanhua.
Luckily, before he could act, Rongzhen jumped away and warned Dabai, "Don't get too close when you talk to us. We're all speaking cat language, which humans can't understand. You don't have to get too close and lower your voice. My owner is very possessive of me, and I'm worried he won't be able to resist and kick you."
Dabai looked up and saw a guy in the crowd glaring at him. He was his master's boss and he couldn't afford to offend him.
Dabai silently took two steps back, "Do you still want to know my previous name?"
Rongzhen: "Okay, go ahead and tell me. I'm listening. In exchange, I can tell you my current name. My name is Zhenzhen."
Dabai said embarrassedly: "My previous name was not as nice as yours. My name was, Nannan."
Unexpectedly hearing this name here, Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then stared at the big white cat in front of her, doubtfully confirming, "Are you Nannan? The Nannan who used to live in the old building in the urban village?"
The big white cat's eyes lit up as he confirmed, "It's me, it's me. You know me? But I didn't know you before."
The most common cats in urban villages are various stray cats, and such beautiful short-legged calico cats are rarely seen. Only in the high-end residential areas separated from urban villages by a wall will humans specifically raise precious pet cats.
When it lived there, it looked around everywhere, including the high-end residential area next door, but it didn't see her.
Rong Zhen wagged her tail and explained, "I'm not a cat from there. I just lived there for a few days before my owner found me. An old lady came out every night looking for a cat and asked me to help her find one."
Dabai was shocked after hearing this, and his cat eyes widened again. "She, what's the name of the cat she found?"
Rongzhen imitated the old lady's voice and called out: "Nannan - Nannan -"
The big white cat's eyes turned red instantly.
Zhao Simo, who was in the distance, couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and strode over.
