"What's up? If there's something, you can go back first. I can manage on my own!"

Seeing Lin Xu answering Dou Wenjing's call, Shen Baobao thought there was an issue at the company.

"It's nothing. A few days ago, Sister Wenjing acquired a shell company with lottery eligibility. The lottery starts at ten this morning, so the company will be able to get cars soon."

Indeed, for a company of this size, not having even one company car was quite unbecoming; the general manager even had to use shared bikes for transportation.

Lin Xu quietly accompanied Shen Baobao for her allergy screening. By almost ten o'clock, all the examinations were done, and it was time to wait for the results.

The couple went to Han Shuzhen's clinic to say goodbye.

"Mom, the company has lottery eligibility now. I need to go back and try for it. We won't be having lunch here, so could you please collect Yueyue's results later?" Lin Xu said.

"Alright, then you go ahead. Yueyue, remember to go to work. Don't get too carried away playing," Han Shuzhen replied.

"Oh..." Shen Baobao responded.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Xu drove Shen Baobao to Fishing Platform. Pets weren't allowed in the hospital, and they couldn't bear to leave Dundun alone at home. So, before coming to the hospital, they had detoured to Fishing Platform to leave the little one at the reception of Building Number Two.

Now it was time for the lottery, so naturally, Dundun had to make an appearance to ensure nothing went amiss.

On the way, Shen Baobao asked curiously, "What car are we buying?"

Lin Xu was also unclear about this. He felt that at this stage, practicality should be the main consideration for the company's cars. However, Dou Wenjing had mentioned last night that buying a more expensive one could help with tax deductions. Besides, the company had ample cash on hand, so they might as well do it right in one go.

This time, there were two lottery chances. If both were successful, the company could get two cars.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Xu said, "Let's get Sister Wenjing a classy sedan, so she looks good when going out for business negotiations. I'll just get a simple SUV."

He had grown accustomed to SUVs, so switching to another type of vehicle would feel a bit awkward. Besides, the road conditions in his hometown were poor. An SUV with better clearance would be more convenient for trips back during holidays.

Arriving at Fishing Platform, Lin Xu parked the car in front of Building Number Two. He and Shen Baobao got out and saw Dundun playing with Gu Junli, who was wearing a light-colored cheongsam.

"Does this stinky cat think I'm ugly? Why does it get along so well with other girls but won't be affectionate with me?" Shen Baobao pouted.

Lin Xu remained silent. You always manhandle it so roughly; it would be strange if it wanted to play with you, he thought. Then, he took Shen Baobao's delicate hand and said, "You are so beautiful that Dundun simply feels inferior in comparison."

These words made Shen Baobao instantly overjoyed. "Really? Then I'll forgive it!"

Walking into Building Number Two, Dundun, who had been jumping around and playing with Gu Junli and a cat teaser, immediately leaped onto the reception desk. It plopped down on a little cushion and even wrapped an extra cushion around itself, striking a pose as if to say, "I'm sleeping. Dare to disturb me, and I'll bite you to death."

However, no sooner had it closed its eyes to feign sleep than Lin Xu scooped it up into his arms.

"What are you sleeping for in broad daylight? Keep playing! If you don't get some exercise, you'll turn into a furball."

Lin Xu hoisted Dundun onto his shoulder and strolled to the seafood section, intending to let the little guy randomly pick out some fish for lunch.

On the way to the seafood section, Lin Xu opened his phone, logged into the official lottery website with the company's account, and started the process. The results would only be displayed after an hour. He silently prayed Dundun would bring them luck. Then, he took the little one for a stroll around the seafood section and discovered it showed interest in the river groupers.

Then river groupers it would be for lunch!

But a single river grouper weighed several pounds, and Dundun's appetite was tiny. Slaughtering an entire one would be somewhat wasteful, especially since the staff cafeteria didn't serve such items.

How could they let Dundun taste the river grouper without wasting it?

Lin Xu pondered for a moment and then called Wei Qian for advice.

"You can go to Building Number Fifteen or Eighteen," Wei Qian suggested. "Building Fifteen specializes in seafood, while Eighteen specializes in Sichuan cuisine. The staff cafeteria there serves river groupers. Bring Dundun over, and both you and the cat will have lunch. Isn't that great?"

Wei Qian had completely decided to take it easy now. He had arranged his leave for next year's Tomb Sweeping Festival today and planned to submit his resignation tomorrow. If he resigned, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Fishing Platform employee dormitory anymore. He needed to rent a place and move before Lin Ji opened for business to avoid any interruption to his new work.

Zhu Yong, Qin Wei, and Ji Minghui had the same idea. They all planned to submit their resignations tomorrow and look for an apartment with Wei Qian.

Going to Building Fifteen or Eighteen for a free meal? Lin Xu mused. This suggestion was actually good. Since Shen Baobao and Dundun were with him today, it was time to try the dishes from the other buildings.

As for which building to go to... Lin Xu thought for a moment and decided on Building Number Eighteen. Head Chef Dai had always been so considerate towards him; it was time to bring Dundun along and drum up some business for him.

Back at the reception, he looked at Shen Baobao and said, "Let's go have lunch at Building Number Eighteen. We can also get a slice of river grouper for Dundun to try."

"Building Number Eighteen? What's good to eat there?" Shen Baobao asked.

"They specialize in Sichuan cuisine there. Just say what you want to eat."

Hearing Sichuan cuisine mentioned, Shen Baobao immediately started to rattle off a list, "Boiled River Grouper, Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Shadow Beef, Spicy Fatty Intestines, Brown Sugar Sticky Rice Cake, Bobo Chicken, Mouthwatering Chicken, Fried Pork, Cold Eating Rabbit, Crispy Skin Duck... Ooh, there's too much I want to eat!"

Lin Xu was speechless. Baobao, we need to be mindful when we're getting a free meal. Don't order too much at once, or we won't be able to come back for more. We need to make this last, understand?
