Early in the morning, Zhang Zi'an opened the roller shutter door of the store, and was about to go back to the store to clean up, when he heard a strong rhythmic footsteps from far and near.

Click!

A figure in a quasi-professional training uniform emerges from the corner of the street.

She is as light and sturdy as a fawn in the forest, with striking reflective stripes on her clothes and shoes that can be seen from a distance. She also had a spirited beagle on a leash that allowed him to have fun to his heart's content.

"Good morning!"

The distance of dozens of meters is almost in the blink of an eye, and the sound reaches people.

Mai Suzuhara greeted him in pure Mandarin, and when she ran to the front of the pet store, she slowed down, but did not stop completely, but raised her legs high in place to keep her body hot. The air quality was good today, and she didn't wear a mask.

"Good morning, you're really hardworking. Zhang Zi'an replied with a broom.

Recently, he has been able to meet this short-term international student from Fuso almost every morning, and she will pass by the pet store on time almost rain or shine, except for snowy days.

"Where, I was used to it when I was in Fuso. She smiled nonchalantly, "I don't feel well if I don't run for a day." And now that Snoopy is with me, I can run more energetically, and I can walk the dog by the way. ”

As she spoke, she held up the simple set of shoveling tools she was holding—a small plastic clip with a handle and a self-sealing plastic bag—and motioned to show him.

Beagles need a lot of time and intensity for outdoor activities, otherwise the excess energy will not be vented, and they may toss indoors, whether it is tossing home furnishings or tossing the owner, it is a headache...... But this problem does not exist for Mai Suzuhara, and the intensity of her daily morning run is enough for the beagle to vent all his energy.

Snoopy's chest and abdomen heaved violently, and he exhaled a mouthful of white breath with his tongue out, and he trotted to Zhang Zi'an, circled around him, sniffed at his shoes and pants, and then, as if he recognized him, crouched at his feet, and glanced nostalgically at the pet store—it had been here for a short time, and was finally taken away.

Zhang Zi'an squatted down to look at it, and there was a dog tag hanging from its neck collar, indicating the contact information of Suzuhara Mayi.

As a high-achieving student who has been in the laboratory for a long time, Suzuhara Makai has a good theoretical foundation and execution, and trained Snoopy very well, neither running around nor screaming, and quietly letting Zhang Zi'an rub the top of his head.

"By the way, the company in Fuso has already sent someone to set off with the machine, and it will arrive in China soon. Suzuhara knew that Zhang Zi'an must be very concerned about the problem of the automatic dog washer, so he took the initiative to mention: "Their plan is to exhibit at the Capital Science and Technology Exhibition during the Spring Festival, and after the exhibition is over, it will be loaded and transported to Binhai City, and the supporting transformer will also accompany it." ”

"Thank you so much. Zhang Zi'an thanked, "I didn't cause you a lot of trouble, did I?"

"Nope. Suzuhara said with a smile: "Speaking of which, in fact, in the email exchange with the supervisor, the other party seemed to have a good impression of me, and heard that I knew a little Chinese, so he invited me to intern in their company after graduation, and I heard that they may try to explore the Chinese market." ”

"Huh, really, congratulations. Zhang Zi'an was surprised when he heard this, but if you think about it, this is also reasonable.

Compared to Fuso, which has a declining birthrate and a continuing economic recession, China's fast-growing pet market is something that no one can ignore. If the other party does not plan to open up the Chinese market at all, why do you need to come to the capital's science and technology exhibition? If you want to open up the Chinese market, you must have talents who are proficient in Chinese, and if Suzuhara Mao can successfully enter that company for internship, he will definitely get a lot of attention.

"yes, I think I should thank you for it, I wouldn't have found a suitable internship so easily if I hadn't met Snoopy in your store. She said with a smile on her face.

"But you say you know a little Chinese, which is too modest, and your Mandarin is purer than many Chinese." Zhang Zi'an praised matter-of-factly.

"You've won a prize. Suzuhara Mayi blushed and said embarrassedly: "Actually, before I came to China, like many Fuso people, there were many misunderstandings and prejudices in my heart...... Take the dog walk as an example, do you know that Mr. Koji Yano's outrageous remarks?"

Zhang Zi'an was very unfamiliar with this name, tried to recall it, and combined this name with "walking the dog", and finally remembered some clues.

"You mean...... The Fuso actor who said Chinese are not worthy of dogs?" he asked tentatively.

She nodded, "Yes." ”

Yano's remarks caused an uproar on the Internet in both China and Japan, because after living in the Chinese capital for a while, he found that dog feces could be found everywhere, whether it was in high-end neighborhoods or ordinary houses, or on roads and parks, but the owners would not clean it up.

In fact, what he said was not completely wrong, after all, it was largely true, but his remarks were taken out of context by the unscrupulous media and hyped up as "Chinese are not worthy of dogs", which caused him a great storm and is still often mentioned today.

Suzuhara continued: "Because of his remarks, before I came to China, I thought that China's roads were full of dog feces, but in fact, it is not that serious, and there are still many Chinese like Mr. Store Manager who carry plastic bags and small shovels with them when walking their dogs. ”

"Oh, have you ever seen me walk my dog?" Zhang Zi'an was stunned when he heard this.

"I've seen it. She affirmed, "Two days ago, when I was returning from my run, I saw you leading two German herds into the store, carrying plastic bags and small shovels in your hands, probably just walking your dog? ”

What she said was the truth, Zhang Zi'an would always carry a plastic bag and a small shovel with him when he took his dog out, even when he took Pegasus and two police dogs to make a movie, and it was because of this that he would give a box full of freshly baked hot dog shit to the crew's bento brother.

Speaking of this, she bowed deeply and apologized: "At that time, without your permission, I secretly took a photo of you from behind and sent it to my Fuso classmates and seniors to see. They were all surprised to realize that Mr. Koji Yano's words were one-sided, and not all Chinese did not dispose of dog feces when walking their dogs......"

She bowed without saying a word, which made Zhang Zi'an very embarrassed, and he didn't think that she had done anything worthy of a special apology, didn't she just take a handsome photo of him? If you want to apologize, you should apologize, why don't you shoot the front, and don't bring his sassy and heroic appearance to other Fusang girls......
