Chapter 228: Bringing Xiao Jinzi Home

In the deep part of the school's small grove, Ye Xiu held the three bottles of pills given by Lin Meng, tucked a newly recognized-master storage bag in his bosom, and inside the storage bag lay a pitch-black mysterious beast egg.

At this moment, Ye Xiu looked at the empty expanse before him and spoke silently.

"Thank you, sister. I will work hard."

Lin Meng hadn't yet had a chance to ask further about the specifics of the Hundred Deceptions Night Walk, when she was pulled back to the real world.

This three-hour exploration time is too short; before they could do anything, time was up again.

Lin Meng frowned as she exited the Third Space, then thought and decided to go find Ye Heng to ask for more crystals.

If the space doesn't upgrade, the exploration time in this weird world will always be limited, which is also a problem.

Ye Xiu is only secondary; Lin Meng believes that with his experience and personality, he can handle things on his own.

What worries Lin Meng is that the weird world connected to the Third Space remains a mystery to this day; she really wants to know what she can obtain in that world.

Ye Heng is very considerate, never forgetting to repay Lin Meng; he had already placed crystals and variously colored crystal cores in the space.

Since he discovered that Lin Meng had taken that laser gun, he began storing crystal cores in the space.

Lin Meng looked at the crystals and crystal cores on the table of the First Space, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

She and Ye Heng have already developed some tacit understanding; he here is gradually getting on track, so she doesn't need to worry too much about him.

Lin Meng didn't rush to absorb crystals to upgrade the space; after a few days of seclusion, it was also time to go fetch Xiao Jinzi back.

I don't know whether Xiao Jinzi has caused any trouble for Ye Chenjing.

I think it shouldn't be; Xiao Jinzi is smart and well-behaved, doesn't destroy things or bark randomly, and is quite suitable for Ye Chenjing.

Moreover, Lin Meng thought, as such a big boss, he is usually busy with myriad affairs, his wealthy hands worth tens of millions every few minutes; he wouldn't really pick up a leash to walk the dog, and would likely have his assistants do it.

But no matter what, Ye Chenjing treats her well, and a gift of thanks is always due.

After thinking, Lin Meng simply took out a single Aperture-Clearing Pill.

This pill hasn't been given to anyone else here yet, and its effects are unknown; it's perfect to use Ye Chenjing as an experiment……

Seeing that the sky was still early, with no one next door at Ye Chenjing's house, she thought Xiao Jinzi must be with some assistant, so Lin Meng decided to wait until Ye Chenjing returned home before asking.

What she didn't know was that early that morning, Ye Chenjing took Xiao Jinzi to his Rolls-Royce and was brought to the company.

For several days running, the General Manager would bring this golden-colored Border Collie to the company; the staff found it quite novel and speculated wildly.

"I wouldn't have guessed, Master Jing is actually a dog lover."

"I don't think so; you haven't noticed that the Border Collie seems unfamiliar with him? I guess it's not his dog."

"Whose could it be? Given the General Manager's personality, he wouldn't be kind enough to raise someone else's dog and even bring it to the company."

No matter what, Xiao Jinzi has become the center of conversation at the company these past few days; after work, aside from complaining about bosses, everyone just talks about it.

"It's clear that the General Manager treats him extremely well, even bringing him to meetings."

"I think the dog food is nutritionally balanced homemade dog meals, with Wagyu emperor crab as treats; being the General Manager's dog is truly happy!"

"What good is eating well? It still has to accompany him to work; look at it these days—every time it comes to the company happily, it leaves listlessly."

"It seems even dogs don't like going to work……"

Meanwhile, in the General Manager's office, Xiao Jinzi lay with its head drooping on the small sofa, occasionally glancing toward the door.

Good heavens, master, please come out of seclusion soon; the temporary poop-scooper you found for me is a workaholic!

If Xiao Jinzi could speak, it would surely roar like this; unfortunately it can't speak human language, its intelligence isn't low, so it can only lie down obediently.

Sun Yao saw Xiao Jinzi listless, thought it must be bored and wanting to run wild, and couldn't help but ask:

"General Manager, shall I take it out for a walk?"

Ye Chenjing, who was burying himself in work, heard this, lifted his head to look at Xiao Jinzi, and also checked the time.

According to professional pet-care advice, this time is indeed suitable to take it out for a stroll to relax; so he decisively put down his work, took the leash from the rack beside him.

Sun Yao thought the General Manager wanted him to go, so he hurriedly reached out to take it, but Ye Chenjing gripped the dog leash and gave him a cold glance.

That glance seemed to say: "If it's your dog, you walk it; this is my dog!"

Although everyone in the company was used to seeing the General Manager personally go downstairs to walk the dog, deep down they were still slightly shocked.

Rumor has it that someone secretly filmed the General Manager picking up dog feces, but only dared to spread it in a small circle; those who saw the photo said they'd like to use it as a wallpaper.

Every time they see the screen light up, they can be comforted.

Look, a noble man like Ye Chenjing still has to serve the dog master, just like anyone else.

Ye Chenjing is unaware of these things, or rather, he simply doesn't care.

Lin Meng entrusted the dog to him, and he naturally must take full personal care of it, ensuring it returns three pounds heavier.

Seeing that the time was about right and Ye Chenjing should be returning, Lin Meng simply went to wait at his doorstep.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a top-spec Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance.

Lin Meng took a close look—sure enough, Xiao Jinzi was sitting in the front passenger seat, its chest buckled with a seatbelt, personally driven back by Ye Chenjing.

Ye Chenjing had just stepped out of the car and went straight to Lin Meng, his eyes hiding great delight.

"When did you arrive? Come in and sit a while?"

Lin Meng shook her head, pointing at Xiao Jinzi still in the car, and said:

"You took it to work?"

Ye Chenjing nodded, saying: "Lately the company's been busy, so I brought it along; but rest assured, I haven't neglected it."

Lin Meng had no doubt about Ye Chenjing's words, but seeing Xiao Jinzi's dejected look, she figured even the dog knows work isn't fun.

Every creature that walks into the office building seems to have its vitality sucked out, emerging exhausted.

"Thank you for your care these past few days; here, this is your reward."

Lin Meng casually tossed over a pill and said:

"Take it when you have time; this is a strength-and-health pill. If you know a bit of martial arts, this pill is absolutely good for you."

Lin Meng thought, Ye Chenjing probably doesn't know martial arts; he has no time to study or practice, and as a scion of such a wealthy family, he never lacks loyal bodyguards, so there's no need for him to painstakingly train martial arts.

Ye Chenjing pinched the pill in his hand, the corner of his mouth slightly curling up. He discovered that Lin Meng was becoming increasingly generous toward him—did that also mean that, in Lin Meng's eyes, he was different?

He would naturally keep the pill safe and take it when he found the time.

Few people know that he is quite capable in a fight.

At that moment, Lin Meng had already opened the car door and reached out to take Xiao Jinzi, only to find herself holding a donkey-brand dog leash.

Lin Meng instantly twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Ye Chenjing—when did this guy change Xiao Jinzi's leash?

How come, did he find the twenty‑yuan pet‑store leash too rough to handle?

Who would have thought that Xiao Jinzi, after only a few days of boarding at his place, would transform into something he could no longer afford to keep?

Is this what they call living less refined than a dog?
