Chapter 214: The Little Rich Girl’s Wish Comes True

“Sir, pick this one. This breed of dog is quite intelligent.”

“And this one too. It’s a small breed that won’t grow big, perfect for keeping in an office.”

“This one is more lively but tends to make a mess. I don’t recommend it if you don’t have much time to walk it.”

“This one is also okay, just a bit dumb.”

“…”

It was past two in the afternoon. The early spring sun was pleasantly warm and the azure sky was cloudless.

Jiang Qin pushed a shopping cart out of the pet store, filled with a dog bed, dog food, a dog crate and all sorts of miscellaneous items, along with a Labrador puppy less than three months old.

The little white pup had droopy ears and a silly expression. It lay in the shopping cart, curiously observing its surroundings, looking a bit timid.

Jiang Qin opened the trunk and stuffed the dog bed and other things inside, then picked up the puppy and got in the car.

“From today on, your name is Potian Fugui. A four-character name, isn’t it cool?”

“…”

Potian Fugui glanced at Jiang Qin. Its front paws kneaded the seat cushion a few times in unease but eventually lay down obediently under his gaze.

Jiang Qin felt it must be very satisfied right now.

Because with a name like this, it would have a lot of face even when going out to make friends.

Other dogs are named things like Doudou, Pudding, Prince, Furball. Ask it what its name is – “Me? Potian Fugui.” The main point is to be cocky.

Jiang Qin patted Potian Fugui’s head a couple times, put on his sunglasses, stepped on the gas pedal and returned to Linchuan University, heading straight for the front square.

Ever since Hu Xin went to Normal University for training, Gao Wenhui became the mainstay at the Linchuan University branch of Xitian, so Feng Nanshu would often accompany her here.

Jiang Qin parked the car on the roadside across from the square. From afar, he could see a cool and aloof little rich girl sitting at the entrance of Xitian. Her exquisite features were flawless, her clear gaze emotionless, a thoroughly cold beauty.

The front square had a large flow of people and quite a few were buying milk tea.

Whether man or woman, upon seeing Feng Nanshu, they couldn’t help revealing expressions of amazement, stealing glances. Their eyes were full of infatuation but they didn’t dare approach due to her aloofness.

Aside from sticking to Jiang Qin and going everywhere with him, the little rich girl rarely appeared in public. But whenever she did, she immediately elicited this kind of reaction.

Just like back at South City High. From the moment she set foot on campus to entering the classroom, the entire school was abuzz with private whispers about her amidst the strong winds.

However, she herself was a bit flustered.

A bit flustered, her expression grew even colder, making those looking at her also a bit flustered. They hurriedly averted their gazes.

“So beautiful. Who is she? How come I’ve never seen her before?”

“I don’t know. Not from our school, right?”

“How do you know?”

“Didn’t see her at the campus beauty contest. Otherwise who else could have taken first place?”

“Too cool. Her expression is so icy. At a glance you can tell she’s the unapproachable goddess type.”

The little rich girl pretended not to hear anything. She silently sipped her milk tea, then glanced at the straw, biting it flat like how Jiang Qin does.

The handsome tree-climbing bear wasn’t here. The delicious milk tea seemed to have its sweetness halved.

She hugged the milk tea cup in a daze for a while. Her slender, curled lashes trembled slightly a couple times in the dazzling sunlight before she spotted the black Audi parked by the road.

“Looks like Jiang Qin’s car…”

Gao Wenhui had been working all morning. Just as she was changing shifts, she saw Feng Nanshu running towards the opposite side: “Eh? Nanshu, where are you going!”

“Jiang Qin is here.” The little rich girl waved as she ran to the car.

Seeing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but glance towards the roadside, eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

This cool and aloof white rich beauty – how come her eyes lit up the moment that car arrived? It seemed her whole temperament changed in an instant, becoming much softer, cuter and more spirited.

“Jiang Qin, let’s go for a walk.”

Jiang Qin lowered the car window a smidgen: “Little rich girl, do you remember you had a wish?”

“I remember. I want to follow you around every day.”

“Not that one. The other one. Think hard, you mentioned it a few days ago.”

After pondering for a bit, Feng Nanshu replied: “Although I don’t understand anything, I want you to feed me.”

Jiang Qin took a deep breath and tried to maintain his composure: “Not that either. One that doesn’t have much to do with me.”

Feng Nanshu was dumbfounded for a moment before shaking her head: “Jiang Qin, I don’t seem to have that kind of wish.”

“Are you flirting with me?”

“No, I’ve always been silly and dumb,” Feng Nanshu said with puffed cheeks.

“Then let me give you another hint. You’ve wanted it for a long time. At the start of the semester, you even followed me around school looking for it for half a day. Remember?”

Jiang Qin was afraid his internal restraint might crumble. He didn’t dare let her keep guessing randomly and directly guided her towards the correct answer.

Feng Nanshu put on a lofty expression as she looked at him: “Jiang Qin, I want to raise a puppy.”

“Yes, that’s the wish.”

Jiang Qin opened the car door and took out Potian Fugui: “Look, from now on, this pup is yours to raise.”

Seeing the dumb-looking Labrador with all four limbs suspended in the air, seeming as helpless as if fate was gripping its throat, the little rich girl’s eyes instantly sparkled with delight.

She extended her fair little hand, tentatively petting it a couple times. Seeing it didn’t resist, she quickly had Jiang Qin set it down.

Potian Fugui was also a timid dog. In the unfamiliar environment, it was a bit scared but still bravely stood up on its front legs, allowing the little rich girl to pet it from head to back.

One big, one small – both little cowards.

One petting cautiously, one standing still not daring to move – an exceedingly cute scene.

After being petted for a while, Potian Fugui seemed to have gotten used to it somewhat. It was no longer as timid as before, even rolling over on the spot to expose its belly.

The little rich girl’s eyes were shining as if light was condensing in them.

“Come, let’s go sit in the milk tea shop and pet it.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Qin picked up Potian Fugui and brought the little rich girl back to the milk tea shop, immediately attracting Gao Wenhui over.

“How come there’s a pup? Whose is it?”

“The little rich girl has been clamoring for one, so I went out and bought one for her to raise.”

After hearing this, Feng Nanshu raised her head and stared at him in a daze for a long time, eyes seeming to ripple with emotion.

Gao Wenhui squatted down and petted it a few times: “Just bought it so it doesn’t have a name yet, right? I suggest we each contribute a character. Call it Nanqin, how about that? Nickname can be Qinqin.”

“I think Wenhui sounds better. Nickname could be Huihui.”

“You’re being a bit much.” Gao Wenhui narrowed her eyes.

Jiang Qin spat at her: “I already gave him a name on the way here. He’s called Potian Fugui.”

“What the heck? Who names a dog that? Shouldn’t it be something cuter?”

“What it’s called doesn’t matter. The key is that it’s auspicious, right Fugui?”

Potian Fugui let out a couple of “woo” sounds, not daring to move, but its eyes were darting around. At a glance, you could tell it wasn’t truly dumb, just very honest due to the unfamiliar environment. Who knows how clever it actually is.

Gao Wenhui petted the pup with gusto, making Potian Fugui emit more “woo woo” sounds. It rolled over on the spot, exposing its belly.

“How’s business at the milk tea shop recently?”

“Not bad, it’s just that I’m not as skilled as Hu Xin so I’m a bit slower at making the drinks.”

“That doesn’t matter. The main thing is ensuring the flavor. As long as the taste doesn’t differ too much, customers generally won’t mind waiting an extra minute.”

Jiang Qin returned after washing his hands. He grabbed a handful of almonds, peeled them, and fed them to the little rich girl’s mouth.

“Jiang Qin, I want to eat one more,” Feng Nanshu said while petting the dog.

…

After leaving Xitian Milk Tea Shop, Jiang Qin took the little rich girl to the entrepreneurship base to settle Potian Fugui in.

After all, the dorms don’t allow keeping pets, so he could only leave it at the entrepreneurship base.

Plus, this little fella was quite cute. When everyone got tired from work, they could pet the dog a bit. It could relieve stress and lift their moods. Quite a good arrangement.

“Wow boss, whose dog is this?”

“Your lady boss’s. His name is Potian Fugui. Starting today, he’s officially joining the Room 208 family.”

Su Nai came over and took a look: “I remember Professor Yan said before that the entrepreneurship base doesn’t allow keeping pets, right?”

Jiang Qin pursed his lips: “It’s fine. I’ll let Professor Yan know in a bit. I’ll try to get his consent.”

“Professor Yan isn’t that easy to persuade.”

“No worries. I’ll reason with him and appeal to his emotions. Professor Yan will surely understand a silly rich girl’s desire to keep a pet.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Nanshu raised her head: “Jiang Qin, sometimes I’m not that dumb.”

After hearing that, Su Nai also couldn’t help furrowing her brows: “The lady boss isn’t dumb at all! She’s the smartest!”

The little rich girl got a bit flustered: “Su Nai, sometimes I really am silly and dumb.”

“Oh, alright lady boss. Um, may I pet Fugui?”

“You may pet him.”

Hearing “lady boss”, Feng Nanshu immediately generously lent out the pup. Fugui, who still wasn’t used to so many people, was timidly trembling as it was passed around again and again.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Qin left Room 208, planning to go to the general office on the first floor to register, but before he even reached the door, he ran into Professor Yan.

The professor seemed to be heading out, a black satchel in hand. Upon seeing Jiang Qin, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

“Jiang Qin, how are things going with the promotion?”

“The early-stage preparations have been arranged. The official promotion will start in two days.”

After hearing this, Professor Yan nodded: “Not bad. But don’t be impatient. The key is stability. Right, did you need me for something?”

Jiang Qin coughed: “Professor, I just hired a security guard for Room 208 to watch the door for us. I wanted to report it to you.”

“A student?”

“No, someone from outside.”

Professor Yan thought for a moment: “If you trust them, it’s fine. I won’t interfere too much in this matter, but make sure to go through the proper procedures.”

Jiang Qin nodded and saw the professor off to the main entrance, thinking to himself – I told you Professor Yan is reasonable.

“Jiang Qin, did Professor Yan agree to let you raise Fugui here?”

“Mm, he agreed.”

“Professor Yan is a good person.”
