Chapter 417: In their eyes, their lives are just money

Xiaowu tilted his head and looked at the dog outside through the pet carrier. Suddenly, he pulled the zipper open with his mouth and stood on top of the pet carrier, staring at the stray dog.
With his tiny brain, who knows what he was pondering, but he suddenly became excited and started circling around on the pet carrier.
Seeing that Xiao Wu remained silent, Mu Guifan said, "Let's take it to the rescue station."
Find a reputable and responsible stray cat and dog rescue station, and you can rest assured.
These two dogs appear to be strays, with dirty fur all over their bodies and looking emaciated.
Through a layer of dirt, their markings could barely be seen - they were two Labrador Retrievers, not of pure lineage, mixed with other breeds, and at first glance, they somewhat resembled mongrels.
The dog cautiously took a step back, its eyes filled with sorrow and fear.
It was unsure if the two people in front of it were the same as the person who had just given it hope and then left.
Just like how it had been here for so long, with a few passersby stopping to look, but ultimately leaving indifferently.
Although dogs don't understand the principle that "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment," the despair and gloom after being abandoned by their owners make them so humble that they dare not ask for more.
The dog clenched its companion's corpse in its mouth, laboriously dragging it towards the bushes, but it was too thin and failed to move it after several attempts.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Gu Xiaoba frowned and said, "Forget it, it's better to take it away."
She turned her head, with a look of 'disdain' on her face.
Su Bao saw that Gu Xiaoba had the same idea as her, and said happily, "Right? Xiaoba sister has the same idea as me! We have a tacit understanding!"
Gu Xiaoba: "..." Tsk.
Despite the disdainful look on his face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly pressed his lips together, restoring his cold and aloof appearance...
Su Bao turned his head and asked, "What do you think, Xiaowu?"
"Grandpa Turtle, what do you think?"
Grandpa Turtle: "..." Whatever he wanted to say, he wouldn't say it anyway.
It doesn't matter to him. The more lively it is outside, the more peaceful his days are.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Look, this annoying dead parrot has been wanting to peck at it since leaving the door, and even uses its back to grind its mouth.
Little Five suddenly flew onto the dog's head, stepping on its brain, shaking his head: "Hey! Call daddy!"
He actually learned Subao's "talisman" just now, perfectly imitating it, even sounding exactly like Subao.
Everyone: "..."
The honest and simple-minded dog slightly squinted his eyes, glancing up at the parrot perched on his head, then immediately lowered his gaze to look at Subao.
A look of willingness to work hard and endure mistreatment.
Subao sighed like a little adult, "Ah~ let's go, let's go. First, let me take you for a bath! Otherwise, grandma will have to go out again and it will be troublesome for her."
The last time Xuan Ling came back, it was grandma who took her to take a bath.
Su Bao thought about it and felt that she should take the dog back first. If it didn't like staying at the Su family's house, she would let it go.
Then, she would build a dog kennel at the front door and put food out for her every day.
The naive and simple-minded Su Bao thought that since they were animals, they might prefer the vast open spaces. It wouldn't be right to forcefully adopt them.
After making the decision, Mu Guifan drove Su Bao and the dogs to the pet store.
As for the other dog that was hit and killed... Mu Guifan took out a body bag from the trunk of the car.
He put the dog inside.
Ji Chang was really speechless. This person actually keeps a body bag in the trunk at all times? What was he thinking...

On the other side.
The man who just filmed the video returned to his residence, a simple four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with quite a spacious interior. However, the living room resembled an office, with several desks placed inside and a few employees editing videos.
A man who looked like an assistant was about to go out with a young and pretty girl. Seeing the man come back, he asked, "Oh, the boss is back."
The first thing the man did was to wash his hands, saying, "I just touched a stray dog, it was so dirty."
He also used wet wipes to clean the car, but he still felt it was dirty. Only after using hand soap and disinfectant did he feel it was clean.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
The pretty girl beside the assistant said, "Boss, we're planning to go out and shoot some footage."
The man nodded while handing his phone to a staff member in the living room, saying, "Go ahead!"
"Then, Xiao Wang, please edit this video."
Xiao Wang opened the video and immediately exclaimed, "As expected from the boss, this footage is really well captured."
The pretty girl glanced and nodded in agreement, then energetically went out the door.
It turned out that this place was a studio.
There were a total of five employees in the living room.
Each employee is responsible for 50 to 100 accounts.
All accounts are related to cat and dog rescue or cute pets.
Some accounts directly repost humorous videos from others and are currently dormant for account nurturing.
Some of the videos that are not quite perfect but would be a waste to discard are edited and uploaded.
Among 100 accounts, if 10 can gain more than 50,000 followers, it is considered successful. The boss's personal account, with over 500,000 followers, is the biggest account in their studio.
The account belonging to the beautiful girl herself ranks second, with over three hundred thousand followers. Now, she is determined to catch up and surpass the number of followers on her boss's account——
By doing so, she will receive extra bonus money!

Outside, it was already dusk, around five o'clock, with a hint of sunset glow on the horizon.
In a deserted alley, a man and a woman were holding down a wolfhound, forcing a bottle of rat poison down its throat.
The wolfdog was a stray dog, emaciated and too weak to resist.
It whimpered, its eyes filled with despair, then struggled to run away with faltering steps.
The pretty girl frowned and asked, "It won't be poisoned to death, will it?"
The assistant said, "It shouldn't... I'll follow it and notify you when the drug takes effect. Just pretend you found it and immediately take it to the pet hospital for stomach pumping."
The pretty girl grunted and nodded reluctantly.
The dog was filthy, and if it weren't for the sake of authenticity, she really wouldn't want to touch it.
However, having just watched the boss's video, she had to work hard and keep going!
She and her assistant searched all around but couldn't find a stray dog she was satisfied with, so she came up with another idea:
First, she would poison a dog to the brink of death, then pretend to be a compassionate person who rescues and helps dogs.
There are too many such routines on the internet, which consume the audience's sympathy. Not only do they gain considerable traffic, but the comment section is also full of praise like "Wishing the streamer a safe and peaceful life" and "The streamer is so kind..."
If there is even a single word of doubt, one will be cursed as a dog!
Therefore, the beautiful girl acted recklessly, without any other concerns except for the fear of dirty dogs.
The stray dog, poisoned, ran for two streets and suddenly collapsed on a busy street, foaming at the mouth...
The assistant grunted and cursed under his breath, "Damn animal, running two streets when nearly dead, trying to exhaust me to death..."
He quickly called the pretty girl to come over.
The pretty girl had innate physical attributes, looking like a pure white flower, appearing innocent and kind-hearted.
Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:Therefore, it is impossible for them to waste this opportunity. What the girl does that's a bit different from the boss is that she will show her face.
The wolf dog collapsed to the ground, eyes wide open, gazing at the sky with little strength left.
Here is the translation to English, with the original HTML tags preserved:The glow of the sunset was reflected in its eyes, making its dark pupils a little brighter.
Passersby on the road were looking back in surprise every few steps, talking and speculating amongst themselves. Some had sympathetic expressions, some looked disgusted, and others seemed to convey "I really want to help but feel helpless"...
"Oh, poor thing."
"There's a pet store over there. Why don't we drag it over and have it checked out?"
"Never mind... it's just a dog..."
Despite their words, no one moved.
At this moment, a cute girl with a ponytail walked over, taking pictures of the bag in her hand with her phone while walking.
"Ding ding~ I bought a pound of beef today. I'm going to livestream how to make Lantern Shadow Beef for everyone when I get back!"
"...Huh? Why is there a dog over there?"
The girl immediately ran over and asked anxiously, "What's going on here?"
"Ah, doggy, what happened to you? Hold on!"
Here is the content translated to English with the original HTML tags preserved:"I, I, I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
The people around her saw how beautiful and lovely she was, with a face full of sincerity, but now she looked anxious and on the verge of tears.
They couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Ah, this girl is really so kind-hearted...
