Chapter 339 Encourager ‘Glabella’

Pei Qian trod carefully as he emerged from the shop near the west gate. He was constantly on the lookout if there were any stones below his feet or if his shoelaces came loose again. Tang Yishu lowered her head and followed behind with small steps. She did not know what type of job she was going to do; neither did she dare to ask too much.

Pei Qian bought a cup of iced milk tea and hot milk tea when they passed by a milk tea shop. He gave Tang Yishu the cup of hot milk tea.

Tang Yishu was slightly embarrassed but accepted it at Pei Qian’s insistence. She held the hot milk tea and warmed her hands.

“Do you have any interests or hobbies? For example… piano? Singing? Drawing?” Pei Qian tried asking, but Tang Yishu shook her head, declining all these options. Pei Qian gave it some thought and felt that given Tang Yishu’s family conditions, it was good enough to be able to go to school. Where was the money to expend on such hobbies?

The problem was… what kind of job should he give her?

Pei Qian recruited Tang Yishu purely as a mascot. She should be placed directly in the center of the office to change the luck of the office given her special halo effect. There was no need for her to be put in charge of specific tasks.

Tang Yishu was very smart after all. She was hardworking and would probably be able to pick up the work rather fast in the future. Boss Pei did not want to be stabbed by smart students.

However, he had to find something for her to do no matter what.

“How about… you come to my office to help me water my plants.’

Pei Qian pondered. This girl nearly watered the green dill in Zhang Wei’s office to death. It shouldn’t be too difficult to destroy all the potted plants in Tengda, right? He could buy a new bunch then. That would allow him to spend some money. What a great idea.

Tang Yishu waved her hand hurriedly. “No, Senior, I cannot take care of plants.

“All living things I’ve taken care of since I was young would become sick inexplicably, be it animals or plants. Except… except for cats.”

Cats?

Pei Qian gave it some thought. Cats could do as well! It just so happened that there was a pet hospital nearby.

“Follow me.”

Tang Yishu hugged the milk tea, trotted behind Pei Qian again, and entered the nearby pet hospital.

This pet hospital was very small, housing only three treatment rooms and one operating theater. It mainly served the people in surrounding communities with pets.

Stray cats were a frequent occurrence in this area. Students or aunties with nothing better to do in the community would often bring these stray cats over for treatment or sterilization.

Many stray cats would be adopted, but some would be left behind and be kept in the pet hospital.

Pei Qian entered the hospital and asked. “Are there any stray cats sent here recently?”

A young female vet on duty at the front desk replied, “Yes, someone sent a black cat over previously. It was vaccinated and neutered some time ago. Moreover, it had taken a bath a few days ago.”

“Do you want to adopt it, sir? This cat is rather cute; it’s just grown a little too big.”

Pei Qian nodded. “Let me see it.”

The female vet led Pei Qian and Tang Yishu in towards a cage in the corner. There was a black cat in it with short black fur. Only its four paws were white.

Its eyes were wide open, but they were perfectly camouflaged. It was very difficult to tell if it was sleeping or awake.

This cat seemed to be at least six months old, not as cute as a newborn kitten. Perhaps that was why no one adopted it.

Pet hospitals had their limitations so they were kept in cages most of the time for fear that they would be lost if they were let out. They were also fed cat food of average quality; therefore, it was not fat at all.

Pei Qian asked. “Is it a he or she?”

The female vet replied, “It’s a castrated male.”

Pei Qian, “… Very good.”

He turned towards Tang Yishu. “Do you like it?”

Tang Yishu nodded. “I like a-all cats.”

Pei Qian turned towards the female vet. “Okay, I’ll adopt this cat. Please prepare cat bags, cat food, cans, and litter boxes for me.”

These things could be purchased online, but it would not be in time. Pei Qian did not want additional trouble so he bought them at the pet hospital even though it was more expensive.

The female vet got two male vets to arrange without asking anything more.

She could see that Pei Qian was not lacking in the finance department so the cat’s living environment would not be bad. Tang Yishu seemed like a kind girl so she would not need to worry about the cat being abused. Everything was ready in no time. The female vet placed the cat into the cat bag. It complied obediently with its black glassy eyes staring directly at Tang Yishu.

After paying the bill, Pei Qian hugged the cat bag against his chest. He walked out of the pet hospital with the litter box and a small bag of cat litter in his left hand while his right hand held the cat food.

Tang Yishu helped with the canned food, food, and water bowls.

The cat still stared at Tang Yishu next to it.

Pei Qian was speechless. “I was the one who bought your freedom, okay!”

The company’s commercial car was parked at a
