Strange Life of a Cat

Just as Zheng Tan thought, the red-haired rat does look smart and cute, but hidden behind it is a ferocious nature, as well as the nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Judging from the way those researchers treated the red-haired rat, the red-haired rat did not encounter any threats at all during this period. It eats well and drinks well, and even the wood it grinds its teeth on is custom-made. The hardness of the wood is selected after many calculations and measurements to suit its teeth. Even if the two mice carefully bred by Dean Xie were bitten to death, no one would do anything to them. Instead, they would contact the mice bred by other research institutions to discuss countermeasures in order to implement the "sustainable development" strategy. International aid comes back and forth, in short, that red-haired rat will be blessed in the future.

I heard that any new decision made about this mouse in the courtyard requires a meeting and the approval of several authorities before it can be implemented. Precisely because everything goes according to it, this guy has become very angry recently. I heard that Dad Jiao said that this girl dared to bare her teeth directly at those scientific researchers, and she didn’t give any face to anyone. She was always wreaking havoc, and was emboldened. She jumped into the sink to play with water when she couldn’t finish her drink. Now she is also picky about food, and she has to eat fresh food. , otherwise she will go on a hunger strike. In fact, so far, this girl has not really succeeded in her hunger strike. The breeders always use different methods to serve her. Zheng Tan has seen the two recent photos taken by Jiao's father. The red-haired rat is better than Zheng Tan. It was a lot bigger when I first caught it, and it was obviously fuller.

Some rats have to live in fear and run into the sewers to steal food, such as house rats, while some are carefully cared for by people, such as this red-haired rat. Rats are more infuriating than rats.

Zheng Tan once went to Jiao's father's office to climb through the window, and he happened to be bumped into by Dean Xie who was driving out. However, Dean Xie did not reprimand him, but instead smiled very kindly at Zheng Tan.

After returning home, Zheng Tan got the answer from Dad Jiao.

Recently, Dean Xie has obtained many projects and support from various parties with the red-haired rat, and Jiao's father is also one of the beneficiaries. Although the red-haired rat is no longer his "private property", Jiao's father has also benefited a lot from it. With the nods of those big shots, the word "vice" in Dad Jiao's "associate professor" will soon be removed. Moreover, it is much easier for Mr. Jiao to apply for projects now. As the saying goes, there are people in the government who can do things easily. Sometimes, success or failure is just a matter of someone's words, even in this country that people regard as a "pure land" In the circle with a halo, changes have already been quietly taking place. For this reason, when Yuan Zhiyi came over one time, she even said to Jiao's father: "This cat of yours is worth raising, it's so worth it!"

One thing Yuan Zhiyi must do every time he comes to the Jiao family is to worship Heitan. In Yuan Zhiyi's own words, that is not worshiping the cat, but worshiping the God of Wealth.

Now Zheng Tan has become numb to Yuan Zhiyi's behavior. Anyway, he thinks Yuan Zhiyi is just a tease.

"Your cat is really awesome, Lao Jiao, let me tell you, the company has been on a positive development trend since I started praying for this fortune. Hey, let me show you my collection." Yuan Zhiyi said after drinking There were so many, I came out with my mobile phone to flip through the photo album and insisted on showing it to Dad Jiao.

Zheng Tan took a closer look and saw that there was a photo album on his phone called "Lucky", which was full of black cats - the black customized lucky cats displayed in Zheng Tan and Yuan Zhiyi's offices and homes.

"Don't make it sound so magical. It's just something that happened to happen by chance. It's an accidental and low-probability event." Dad Jiao replied.

Yuan Zhiyi was about to argue when Dad Jiao's cell phone suddenly rang.

Dad Jiao made a "answer the call first" gesture to Yuan Zhiyi, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The number displayed on the screen of the mobile phone was an unfamiliar number. Dad Jiao did not answer it in a hurry, but waited for a while. If the other party was soon Just disconnect, and he won't pay attention to it. This kind of thing happens often. After answering, it is either a sales pitch, a wrong call, or a liar. Some of them come to inquire about the recent incident of the red-haired rat. No matter He didn't want to accept any of them.

Unexpectedly, the phone kept ringing this time, and the other party had a sense of "If you don't answer, I'll keep calling."

Father Jiao then pressed the call button and was not in a hurry to introduce himself, "Hello?"

Zheng Tan listened to the voice on the phone with his ears open. He also suspected that it was about the red-haired rat. The red-haired rat has not yet passed the limelight recently. However, the other party didn't seem to talk about the red-haired rat, but about other things. Zheng Tan couldn't hear clearly and only heard a few words.

"...Yes, I am...Yes...it is my cat..." Dad Jiao said and looked in the direction of Zheng Tan on the sofa.

Yuan Zhiyi, who was thirsty and was about to drink some water, immediately perked up his ears and stopped drinking water. He kept holding the cup and stayed there while listening to Dad Jiao's call, and glanced in Zheng Tan's direction from time to time.

"It's convenient. I'll be at home tonight. The address is on the fifth floor of Building B, East District Compound... Okay, see you later."

Dad Jiao disconnected the phone and looked at Zheng Tan with a puzzled look on his face, wondering in his mind what else had the cat done in the year since he left that no one knew about?

"Whose phone number?" Yuan Zhiyi asked.

"The man said his name was Yan He, asked my name and whether Heitan belonged to my family, and then said he would come over later to discuss something." Dad Jiao had not heard the other party's voice. This was the first time Talk to the person named "Yan He", and what the other person wants to talk about is obviously related to his cat. I had doubts before about whether it was about the red-haired rat, but the other party never mentioned anything related to the red-haired rat from beginning to end. But other than that, what else could we talk about? He even came to discuss it in person, his tone seemed to give him a lot of convenience?

Yuan Zhiyi's face straightened, "In short, we can't sell this lucky charm!"

"Nonsense, what do you want to say?!" Dad Jiao cleared away the things in the living room, and then discussed with Yuan Zhiyi what to do later.

"...The name Yan He sounds a bit familiar." Yuan Zhiyi didn't plan to leave immediately, and decided to stay a little longer to see what the reason for coming was, and to support his brother by the way, even though he was only a minor now. He is a well-known company boss, but in the past few years, after socializing a lot, he also has his own way of looking at people, "Don't worry, I will help you test it out later. If anything happens, we will shoulder it together."

Zheng Tan was even more confused. He carefully thought about what he had done in the past few months. It seemed that he had not done anything that was harmful to nature, people, and gods. It was unlikely that anyone would come to complain or hold him accountable. However, it seems that I have heard the name Yan He somewhere, and I really can’t remember it for the moment.

About half an hour later, Yan He came to Jiao's house, and Zheng Tan knew who this person was.

No wonder it sounds familiar. Isn't this Yan He the son of the old lady who lives by the lake? However, I often heard the old lady mention "Xiao He" and others say "Mr. Yan", so I didn't match the name "Yan He".

As for Yuan Zhiyi, this guy's reaction was even more intense. He was originally sitting on the sofa with a look like "I'm not easy to talk to" and was preparing to give him a blow. After seeing Yan He, he immediately jumped up from the sofa, his face instantly changed. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Yan, it turns out it's you!"

Zheng Tan: "..." So Yuan Zhiyi was so funny that he switched sides the first second they met?

Yuan Zhiyi and Yan He met at a banquet and had a few business chats. At that time, the goods of one of Yan He's subsidiaries needed to be inspected. Someone in the company's quality inspection department had some problems. The purchased testing reagents and There was also something wrong with the medicine, so Yan He wanted to find another company to help test it. Yuan Zhiyi deliberately found an opportunity to promote his company. The two parties exchanged business cards. After that, Yan He stopped contacting Yuan Zhiyi. Obviously, he was not optimistic about Yuan Zhiyi's company. .

But now, Yuan Zhiyi didn't expect to meet this potential big customer who he missed and thought he wouldn't contact for a long time.

However, judging from Yan He's reaction, Zheng Tan probably didn't remember who Yuan Zhiyi was.

Yuan Zhiyi introduced herself, and Yan He didn't know whether he really remembered it or just dealt with it. He smiled and said a few words, and then went straight to the topic.

It turned out that the old lady agreed to go to the south with the old man who came over, and it would be difficult for her to come back in the future. Yan He didn't really want the old lady to live here. It was too far away. Even if the old lady returned to Chuhua City, he would not I can't take care of it. Yan He has another property in Chuhua City. When the old lady comes back, she will live there directly. No one lives in the house here. It is kept for waste and is planned to be sold. But for the old lady, the house After living there for a long time, I developed feelings and made many demands on buyers. Several people who came to buy a house were rejected by the old lady, and none of them looked down on me. Until a few days ago, when the old lady was reading the newspaper, she found the group photo in the newspaper and saw Zheng Tan.

"At that time, we didn't even realize that the cat in the newspaper was yours, but the old lady saw it right away. She said it was fate and asked me to come over and ask if your family has bought a house. intention." Yan He briefly explained the matter.

Father Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi are both good people. Yan He's words are half true and half false. Who will believe it if the house can't be sold? Who doesn’t have a few friends or relatives whom he likes? However, it must be the old lady's reason why Yan He came here, otherwise the boss would never deign to come to the door despite his busy schedule.

Indeed, Yan He originally planned to sell the house to a relative of his friend, who was also a good person. The old lady was still making final considerations and was about to agree when she saw the news in the newspaper and recognized the cat. , I asked someone to inquire about it, and saw that the four members of the Jiao family and a cat lived in such a small house. Sooner or later, they would have to buy a big house, right? And the old lady felt that she was where she was today thanks to Zheng Tan. She was not short of money, and all she saw was fate, regardless of whether you were a human or a cat. When people reach this age, sometimes some of the things they value are always puzzling to others. Even if Yan He, a filial son, didn't understand what the old lady was doing, he would still nod in agreement. It was just a house, nothing compared to the old lady, and he could afford to lose it.

Yan He didn't sit still for a long time. After talking about the matter, he asked Dad Jiao to think about it and reply as soon as possible. After all, the old lady was going to the south soon and was just waiting for the result.

After Yan He left, Yuan Zhiyi called out exaggeratedly, "Lao Jiao, do accidents like this happen often in your family?"

Even if I beat Yuan Zhiyi to death, I don’t believe that Yan He didn’t notice the soaring momentum of real estate and planned to sell it at a low price at this time. This is simply pie in the sky! Why doesn't this kind of good thing happen to him? !

Father Jiao didn't make a sound, looking deep in thought.

"Lao Jiao, agree, there won't be this store after passing this village!" Yuan Zhiyi urged from the side.

Father Jiao was silent for a while, then looked at Zheng Tan who was also deep in thought on the sofa, "Let's go visit the old man tomorrow."

(5.21) Moving is too tiring. I have to move up and down the fifth floor, and I also have to do some cleaning. When I checked the time, it was already very late. It seems that I can’t double update this weekend. I have to sit for two hours tomorrow. Car to go to the meeting.
