Chapter 154: A Magnificent Dog

Shi Qingqing took it, and it was a thick stack of cash...
It looked like there were about twenty to thirty thousand yuan by visual estimation.
"What is this?" What was the meaning of this?
Shi Qingqing's eyelids twitched rapidly. So much cash!
Her breathing became a bit difficult.
"The Young Master said eight thousand is for the concert ticket last time, and the remaining fifteen thousand is an advance on your salary for this month. That's twenty-three thousand in total. He asked you to accept it."
Huh?
With how stingy Zhan Su was, didn't he say the concert ticket was because he had rescued her and therefore waived the fee?
Didn't he also say that salary couldn't be paid in advance, and that if he paid it upfront, she would run away?
Did it have to be settled monthly?
He wasn't even willing to pay daily, yet suddenly he was advancing so much all at once. Could there be some conspiracy behind this?
Shi Qingqing felt a chill run through her body. What scheme was that jerk Zhan Su plotting against her now?
Whatever. Accepting the money first was the sensible thing to do.
Fortunately, Zhan Su didn't send it to her via a digital red envelope.
Through the mobile payment system, only one-tenth would have remained, and she wouldn't even have a place to cry.
True enough, fortune was smiling upon her today. As soon as she woke up in the morning, she managed to grab a huge red envelope from Shi Yuzhen. Throughout the entire day, she kept snatching private red envelopes until her phone ran out of battery, and then, in the evening, she received this much money.

She would put it all away. Yep, she would pool it together to open a shop for her mother.
The thick stack of cash soothed the depression Shi Qingqing felt over her phone running out of battery.
"Miss Shi, are you going home, or going inside?" The bodyguard asked when he saw Shi Qingqing smiling from ear to ear.
clutching the kraft paper bag, Shi Qingqing really wanted to rush off and deposit the money.
But on second thought, she had already collected her salary. Even if Zhan Su wasn't home today, she ought to do some work!
Otherwise, wouldn't she be taking advantage of him too much?
Glancing over, she spotted Blackie's massive body sprawled in front of the television, watching a cartoon.
While watching the cartoon, it would occasionally glance back at her.
"I'm going in. I'll keep Blackie company for a bit."
"Alright."
The bodyguard let her through the door and then casually closed the main gate behind her.
Shi Qingqing placed the kraft paper bag on the sofa and enthusiastically greeted Blackie.
"Hi, long time no see, handsome doggie! Did you miss me?"
Blackie gave her a huge sideways roll of its eyes.
Shi Qingqing stepped forward to stroke its fur. Blackie let out a low growl and struggled a couple of times, but Shi Qingqing shamelessly pinned it down, and eventually, it just let her be.
Its expression even looked a little bit pampered and pleased.

After playing with Blackie for a while, Shi Qingqing noticed that the dining table was covered with large and small bags, which she suspected were the groceries she and Zhan Su had bought together from the supermarket on Monday.
She stood up to take a look, and sure enough, they were.
"How lazy can Zhan Su be? He bought all these things, but instead of putting them in the fridge, he just dumped them right here."
Honestly, if left like this for long, wouldn't they go bad?
She hurriedly set about organizing the items.
In front of the refrigerator, she sorted eggs, ham, beef jerky, instant noodles, fruits, and other goods into their respective categories and placed them neatly.
Rice, flour, and seasonings were arranged inside the kitchen.
She dug out the oversized dog shoes.
With a smiling face, she approached Blackie once more.
"Handsome doggie Blackie, come and try out the shoes your very best friend—that's me—bought for you! They look super cute when worn!"
At first, Blackie didn't understand what Shi Qingqing was doing. It wasn't until Shi Qingqing took out those strange-looking objects and tried to slip them onto its paws that it became startled and displeased.
"Woof!" With a single kick, it sent the unfamiliar, dangerous-looking gadget flying.
At the same time, it bared its terrifying, sharp fangs at Shi Qingqing and let out a warning growl.
"Blackie, don't be so fierce! Do you have any idea how menacing and scary you look right now? These are just shoes. Look, I have shoes too, right?"
