Chapter 4
At noon, in the scorching sun, cicadas cried constantly, and the concrete floor of the ground was hot from the sun. Even with the shoes on, the temperature of the ground continued to spread to the soles of the feet.
Jiang Tao carried the box lunch and walked into the office quickly.
"Boss, have dinner!"
Li Shen was leaning against the window to make a phone call. Hearing this, he silenced Jiang Tao and continued to communicate.
"Mom, I said, I'm not in a hurry."
"Who stipulated that you must get married before thirty?"
"Okay, the construction site is busy here, so hang up first."
Li Shen put down the phone, his face was a bit ugly, and a look of impatience was vaguely visible.
Jiang Tao was holding the lunch box and poked and persuaded: "Boss, I think auntie is also for your own good. Why are you so old, not to mention marriage, you must have a girlfriend, otherwise you will be too young and angry. Say not to spend the whole day in the construction site, go out more, the outside world is so beautiful, and there are girls, girls are much more interesting than work!"
Li Shen squinted at him: "Why, don't you want the bonus at the end of the year?"
"Boss, don't! I won't say anything!"
Jiang Tao wailed, bowed his head and ate honestly, but he was a silly chatter, and he was quiet for a while, and couldn't help but start to mutter: "Boss, why did you say Su Ming hasn't come yet? It's noon now, shouldn't he? Is it sick?"
Li Shen: "I was very angry when I heard him ask for leave this morning."
Jiang Tao: "That's weird. It's so unreasonable to ask for a leave. Could it be that I hooked up with a girl here, tut, this kid is really fast..."
After eating, Su Ming, who was chanted by them, finally arrived at the construction site, holding a rope in his hand, and walked into the office.
Jiang Tao looked up, and was stunned for a moment: "Su Ming, did you take a long time off to buy a dog? This dog is so small, how can it be used to guard the construction site."
The rope in Su Ming's hand is a traction rope bought at the pet store. At the end of the traction rope is a small fat dog with a dark body, short face and bat ears.
Su Ming looked down at the little fat dog, scratching his head, feeling a little at a loss: "This is not for guarding the construction site. This is a pet dog. I picked it up on the construction site this morning."
"Picked it up?" Jiang Tao came to be interested, put down the design drawings in his hand, touched two in the past, oily and slippery, the little fat dog is still very close to people, seeing someone touching himself, he can't help but bow his head and act coquettishly, he can't help laughing: "This dog is not afraid of life."
Su Ming agreed: "Who said no, I just passed by, and the dog has been following me. I saw that his leg was a little hurt and couldn't bear to leave. I sat there and waited for a long time without seeing a master. Bring it to the construction site."
Jiang Tao saw that, as expected, the fat dog had a three- to four-centimeter wound on his hind leg with blood on it. He asked, "Do you want to keep this dog?"
Su Ming: "It's very cute. I want to raise it, but the landlord has stipulated that pets are not allowed. I may have to ask the boss to see if I can raise it on the construction site first."
"What on the construction site?" As he said, Li Shen pushed the door and walked in.
Su Ming: "Boss, you just came back. I picked up a dog that couldn't find its owner. Can I raise the site for a while?"
When Li Shen looked down, he saw the little fat dog being led by Su Ming. This dog was very much like the dog walked by the little girl next door to his house last night.
It was too dark last night, and he was not sure, he hesitantly called: "Banya?"
The named Banya immediately leaned to Li Shen's feet, arching his legs with his head, and twisting his butt, so enthusiastic.
Su Ming and Jiang Tao were surprised: "Boss, do you know this dog?"
Li Shen squatted down and touched two ducks: "I know, my neighbor's. I only saw it yesterday. I think I was lost."
Su Ming: "Do you have the master's contact information?"
"Yes." Li Shen said, and took the tow rope from Su Ming: "The purchase needs to be negotiated quickly. You can contact the supplier. I will bring this dog back tonight."
Su Ming did delay some things this long, and he was relieved to know that Li Shen knew the dog owner. After confessing that the Banya had a hind leg injury, he drove out with Jiang Tao.
In the empty office, only Li Shen and Banya were left alone.
Li Shen took out his cell phone, took a picture of Zhang Banya, and sent it to Xi Xi via WeChat.
"The Banya is with me. I will bring it back for you in the evening."
After waiting for a while, Xi Xi didn't reply immediately. He didn't know where he was interested. He clicked on Xi Xi's circle of friends, only to realize that she had posted a dog-seeking enlightenment in the circle of friends last night.
The photo with the duck is in the same format as the ordinary dog-seeking enlightenment, except that a line is marked with a large font at the back: [If there is a good-hearted person to send it back, thank you for 10,000 yuan! ใ
Looking at the last exclamation mark, Li Shen could almost think of how Xi Xi typed this line of words anxiously. He hesitated for a moment before typing Xi Xi's voice.
After speaking for a long time, Xi Xi over there answered.
"Hello, hello..." On the other end of the phone, Xi Xi's voice was hoarse and tired.
Li Shen: "The duck was picked up by our construction site. Now I am basically healthy, except for a bit of wound on the leg."
"..." Xi Xi on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned. After a few seconds, he said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you so much. Where are you, I will pick it up now!"
Li Shen reported the address of the construction site, but within ten minutes, Xi Xi hurriedly sent a message saying that she had arrived.
Li Shen took the board duck out, and saw Xi Xi standing at the gate of the construction site. She was wearing a simple white cotton skirt with a hem a little above the knees, and her over-white legs were as delicate as jade in the sun.
I've probably been looking for a dog outside. My usual white face is already covered with red, my eyes are slightly swollen, and there are red blood streaks inside.
She wrinkled her eyebrows tightly, until she found him taking the duck out, her expression relaxed a little, and she walked over quickly.
Since Xi Xi lost the board duck yesterday afternoon, she stayed up almost all night. She has been searching for dogs, posting dog-hunting revelations, and looking for the dog team. She herself has been calling the board duck's name around here, but this is useless, she Still did not find Banya.
She received a call from Li Shen when she was almost desperate, and now she came over to see Ban Ya, and the ecstasy of loss in her heart swept through her.
She almost subconsciously ignored Li Shen who was holding the dog, walked over and immediately squatted down and began to check the health of the duck.
When she found a wound on the board duck leg, she couldn't help her heartache: "Such a big wound must be man-made. Are you stupid? I don't know how to hide when I see a bad person, and I don't know if there are other wounds on my body..."
Li Shen heard her anxious voice, and said: "Dan Ya is a dog after all, and I can't tell the quality of people. Except for the leg, I just found no other wounds."
With Li Shen's voice, Xi Xi finally realized that there was another person on the scene.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw Li Shen looking at herself fixedly. She panicked and lowered her head subconsciously.
"Thank you so much for this matter. If it weren't for your Banya, you still don't know what will happen."
Li Shen: "It's just a trivial matter. You can't see any wounds on the outside of Banya, but you should take it for inspection first just in case."
Xi Xi was also very worried about any internal injuries. He couldn't care about other things. He nodded and took the Banya out of the way, searching for a pet hospital nearby.
Wanyang is a small city with few pet hospitals, and there are only three in the whole city. It took Xi Xi more than an hour to find the nearest one by taxi.
Fortunately, after a check, the duck had no other physical problems except for the wound on the leg. The veterinarian treated the wound for the duck and took some medicine for the wound and it was over.
Xi Xi took a taxi and went back. In order to compensate for the duck, he bought a lot of ribs and chicken breasts to cook for the duck. After this tossing, it was already past nine o'clock after feeding the dog.
After finishing everything, Xi Xi felt free and thought of Li Shen again.
Li Shen found Banya today and took the initiative to call her. This was to help her return the dog. Although he didn't ask for any compensation, Xi Xi felt that the reward marked on the revelation of finding a dog should be given to others.
"Thank you so much for the Banya thing."
After expressing his gratitude again, Xi Xi straightforwardly used WeChat to transfer 10,000 yuan.
It took about five minutes for Li Shen to reply to the news. He didn't collect any money, so he simply replied "?"
Xi Xi thought for a while and replied, "This is thanks. Thank you for helping to find the Banya. Banya is very important to me!"
Worrying that Li Shen didn't understand, she also sent him a screenshot of the dog-finding inspiration in the circle of friends.
Li Shen: "Are you a rich woman?"
Xi Xi: "Not โฏโกโฐ."
Xi Xi's parents are ordinary salaried workers. She has paid a good price for writing novels in the past two years, but Sea City spends a lot of money, and she actually didn't save much money.
Finding a dog pays 10,000 yuan, which she marked because she was really anxious. She has been raising Banya since she graduated. It can be said that she accompanies her family every day and spends so much money to find someone home.
Besides, she remembers that the integrity of a person is very important, and since it is marked, it must be given.
About a few minutes later, Li Shen sent a voice for a few seconds.
There are not many people in contact with Xi Xi, and her contacts are basically aware of her social terror, almost all of them are in text contact, and when she suddenly received the voice, Xi Xi was a little frightened.
She blinked her eyes twice before opening them.
"Since it's not, don't spend money arbitrarily. It's just a small matter. You don't need such a heavy thanks. I didn't find Banya. It was brought by a colleague of mine."
In the voice, Li Shen's voice was as low as ever, revealing a strong male hormone flavor.
He should be outside, with other people talking around him, and some other noisy voices.
Xi Xi pondered for a moment, and still typed in and asked, "Can you give me your colleague's contact information? I want to thank him personally and give him a gift."
Xi Xi didn't say it clearly, but Li Shen could see that the thank you gift was still the same ten thousand yuan.
Really a silly girl with a solid eye.
Li Shen put down the beer in his hand and looked at Su Ming, who was eating crayfish. "My neighbor turned over ten thousand yuan and said he wanted to thank you for helping her find the dog."
Su Ming just took a mouthful of crayfish and was choked on hearing the words. He coughed for a long time. Then he asked incredulously, "Boss, is your neighbor a stupid big head? Pick a dog for ten thousand!"
Li Shen thought for a while and said, "The head is not big, but it's really stupid."
Su Ming: "Ah, it's a small thing, not to mention I also like Banya very much. If he really wants to thank him, please have a meal and a drink."
Li Shen did not say whether Xi Xi was a man or a woman.
He subconsciously felt that the one who could talk to their boss must be a man.
Since it is a man, nothing is a meal, a meal cannot be solved by wine!
A group of rough guys on their construction site were all straightforward, but Li Shen felt the same way and passed on Su Ming's original words to Xi Xi.
