Strange Life of a Cat

Xiao Guo's customers are basically people from Chuhua University, and it is not so easy to do business with teachers and students in the university. Food safety and quality problems are most easily exposed from here.

Those who spend all day in the laboratory facing boring experimental data and equipment sometimes have some fun for themselves, such as taking a bus to the snack alley on a whim to buy a bowl of red oil hot dry noodles, and then bring them back to the laboratory for testing Check whether there is Sudan red in red oil, whether there is aflatoxin in sesame paste, whether E. coli exceeds the standard, etc.

Therefore, to do business with university teachers and students but want a good reputation, this requires a long-lasting quality assurance.

But also because of this, Xiao Guo’s shop became popular, and they had funds. They took down several shops around them, merged his brother’s pet clinic and his own pet supply store, and established "Ming Ming So" Pet Central.

This is Zheng Tan's understanding of Xiao Guo. Generally speaking, Zheng Tan thinks that Xiao Guo is okay, has a brain, can make money, and at the same time has a good heart, at least he is good to animals.

After Xiao Guo left, the Jiao family did not mention anything about the advertisement for canned cats. After dinner, Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi went to their respective rooms to do their homework, and Jiao Ma and a few friends went to the gymnasium to learn dancing.

Zheng Tan entered the master bedroom, pushed the door shut after entering, jumped up and flipped the door lock, and locked it. In the bedroom, Father Jiao was already sitting at the desk and waiting.

Dad Jiao was already used to the series of movements after Zheng Tan entered the door, and he didn't even lift his eyes. After Zheng Tan jumped onto the table, Dad Jiao closed the folder in his hand.

"Today, Xiao Guo came to talk about the shooting of a canned cat commercial. I didn't agree immediately. It depends on your opinion." Father Jiao said, handing a document to Zheng Tan.

What was written in the document was about the advertisement for canned cats mentioned by Xiao Guo today, as well as the follow-up situation and benefit analysis guessed by Father Jiao based on what Xiao Guo said.

Zheng Tan took a look, Xiao Guo and his family produced a kind of canned cat food, which was bought by many cat owners on campus. Xiao Guo had planned to promote this canned cat food a long time ago, but the "SARS" ruined the original plan. Now that he has finally recovered, he is ready to restart the plan, but the establishment of a pet center in Pandian makes Xiao Guo nervous. I am even more eager to use this canned cat food to make a fortune.

Although there are very few pet food advertisements on TV in mainland China, Zheng Tan realized that pet food is also in demand after coming here, and there are many potential customers. With the development of the economy, the pace of life in the city is getting faster and faster. People have no time to take care of themselves. Even if they want to raise cats, they have to figure out how to feed them.

Zheng Tan doesn't think he has any economic sense, he used to be, and he still is now, but he believes that if he does this well, he can indeed make a fortune. Zheng Tan doesn't eat cat food, he eats the same food as Jiao's family Since becoming a cat, Zheng Tan is most fortunate that his stomach is stronger. Moreover, shooting commercials does not necessarily mean eating cat food.

Seriously speaking, shooting a simple advertisement is really nothing to Zheng Tan. After all, it is only a pet food advertisement. According to the document, the transmission channel was only the Internet at the beginning. If the effect on the Internet is obvious, there will definitely be more. There are follow-ups.

This first advertisement must be relatively simple, let it go out to test the water, the reason why Xiao Guo approached Zheng Tan is also clear to Zheng Tan himself. Money is tight, so save as much as you can. Foreigners spent tons of food on the filming of "Cats and Dogs". Although Xiao Guo's filming of a commercial to test the waters is far larger than this scale, it will definitely consume some. Of course, this is the case of looking for other cats, Zheng Tan's place is completely different.

Zheng Tan looked at the document and was thinking about the pros and cons. Papa Jiao said, "You don't have to make a decision right away. I told Xiao Guo that you can reply within three days."

Hearing that he had three days to think about it, Zheng Tan was not in a hurry anymore. With his current status, he really had to think about it.

As soon as he put down the documents, Zheng Tan heard someone knocking on the door, not the room door, but the outside door.

Papa Jiao got up to open the door, but Zheng Tan didn't go there immediately, listening to the movement in the living room with his ears up.

It was the otaku who lived across the street. He belonged to the family members of the teaching staff, and his parents were both school teachers. The guy stays at home almost all the time and likes to wear T-shirts with StarCraft, Spider-Man, Star Wars and... SpongeBob SquarePants. Wash clothes once a week, even in summer. I don’t know if that guy’s clothes will grow mushrooms if they are piled up for a week in summer.

Hearing the voice, the other party seemed a little embarrassed, Zheng Tan jumped off the desk, walked to the door of the room and looked around, the other party was twisting the lunch box with one hand, while scratching his head with the other hand.

"Brother Jiao, I want to borrow your cat. The mice on my side are almost mature. I haven't caught any of the mouse traps I bought. I'm so worried these days. When will it be convenient? , Uh, can you, um, borrow the cat."

Zheng Tan despises him, he deeply remembers that on a certain day last month, this guy boasted to Jiao Yuan that he didn't have half a mouse, but the next day Zheng Tan heard the other side wailing that the network cable was gnawed off, and he bought mouse traps again. , I bought mouse traps again, except for rat poison, I tried almost all other methods. Zheng Tan thought about it, could it be that mice in universities generally have a high IQ?

However, Zheng Tan thought that after he became a cat, he had never caught a mouse. There had been no mice in Jiao’s house. Zheng Tan wasn’t sure if it was his own fault, but it was true for him to catch mice now. There is no way to start. It's not that he's afraid, Zheng Tan used to catch mice to scare the girls in his class when he was in middle school, but after all, cats are different from people.

Zheng Tan looked down at his cat's paw, expressing his annoyance.

Over there, Papa Jiao had finished talking with the other party, closed the door, walked back to the room and waved to Zheng Tan, "Are you good at catching mice?"

Zheng Tan was silent and did not move.

After a while, Zheng Tan heard Papa Jiao say: "Let's go, go and try."

try? Where to try? What to try? Zheng Tan was puzzled.

Papa Jiao took the key, took a twist bag, talked to Jiao Yuan and called Zheng Tan to go out.

Zheng Tan sat out of the Dong family compound on Jiao's father's small electric car. Looking at the familiar path, Zheng Tan had a rough idea of ​​where he was going, but Zheng Tan didn't know how to try it. His strength is greater than that of ordinary cats, and Zheng Tan feels that his strength can be even greater, and after a year or so, he may be able to approach the strength of an ordinary adult.

However, great strength does not mean that you can catch mice. Since he doesn't like cats very much, Zheng Tan doesn't know how normal cats catch mice, so he hasn't paid attention to them.

Just thinking about it, Xiaodian has already arrived at the destination—College of Life Sciences, Chuhua University.

As an associate professor at the School of Life Sciences of Chuhua University, Dad Jiao spends most of the day here except for going home to eat.

After parking the electric car, Papa Jiao shook the bag in his hand, Zheng Tan curled his lips and jumped in. It's not like a cat can walk around casually in the Health Department building, it's not good to be seen.

Then, Associate Professor Jiao twisted the cat bag and walked in from the main entrance of the Department of Health Building, and greeted the people coming in and out with a calm face. When you reach the stairs, there are no people there, and many people are used to taking the elevator.

Zheng Tan poked his head out of the bag to look out. At 7 o'clock in the evening, there were still a lot of people staying in the School of Biological Sciences, and the lights were on in all the laboratories. Zheng Tan could look through the window at the stairway to see the ultraviolet sterilizing lamps lit up in the sterile room opposite.

I think Zheng Tan was still nervous when he was brought in by Jiao Yuan and the others for the first time, but after a few times, Zheng Tan calmed down. Zheng Tan rejoiced countless times that the family that adopted him was not a Frankenstein.

Papa Jiao's office is on the second floor, an independent office. Jiao Pa is one of the few associate professors who have an independent office in the Academy of Sciences of Chuhua University. When Jiao's mother is too busy, Jiao Yuan and the others will come here to do homework or take a nap, and sometimes Zheng Tan will come along, but every time they are sneaky, either hiding in a schoolbag or being wrapped in clothes. Come in.

Papa Jiao went into the office and took a bunch of keys, and carried Zheng Tan up the stairs to the fourth floor. There was no one here at the corner of the fourth floor, and Zheng Tan had never been here before.

In the quiet corridor, Dad Jiao's footsteps sounded very clear, the voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on, and Zheng Tan saw the door numbers of the surrounding rooms.

No wonder there are no people there. Basically, goods, equipment, medicines, etc. are piled up here. but……

Zheng sighed and moved his nose, he smelled the smell of some kind of creature.

Papa Jiao stopped in the farthest room, and took the key to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, there was a creaking sound.

Even if the light is relatively dim, Zheng Tan can clearly see the layout inside.

There are several empty cages next to it, and the cages for feeding the mice are placed in the back room, and there is a small experimental table and shelves near the door.

Father Jiao turned on the light, put the bag on the laboratory table, and sighed to Zheng: "You wait here for a while, don't run around, don't touch the things in the laboratory, there are more medicines."

After talking, Papa Jiao took off the lab coat from the shelf where the lab coat was hung and put it on, and took out gloves from a drawer to put on, went into the back room, and soon came out with a cage, and there were five small white mice in it.
