Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger

Chapter 126: Office Gossip, The Male Colleague’s Role Model

“Alright, go ahead, girl.” The bald old man said, turning to Academician Wang who was still huddled next to the baby stroller. “What are you still squatting there for? The little girl is running around for the cat cafe, and you’re being lazy here? Hurry up and get to work.”

“Yes…… yes.” Academician Wang immediately stood up upon hearing these words and said to the three men, “Then, three Teachers, I’ll be going now.”

“Go, go.” The old man wearing a baseball cap waved his hand, and Academician Wang scurried away.

“Academician, wait for me!” Seeing this, Liang Tiantian pedaled her bicycle and chased after him.

“Alright, the cat cafe name issue is settled. Let’s continue fishing.” The old man wearing sunglasses said as he walked towards his fishing rod.

They were so engrossed in arguing about the cat cafe’s name that they almost forgot about the fishing competition.

“Mm.” The other two old men nodded and sat down as well.

“Meow meow~（The argument is finally over, I can finally relax. ）” Li Li said happily as he munched on the freeze-dried food, looking a little reluctant in the direction Academician Wang left.

There weren’t many people who could feed him so attentively without getting distracted. He wondered when she would come again next time?

“Little Cat, when do you think we can catch a fish?” The bald old man asked Li Li, seeing that the water surface had been calm for a long time. The rod had been cast for so long, and yet no fish had taken the bait. When would a fish finally bite?

“Meow meow~（Are you that impatient, old man?）” Li Li muttered upon hearing this and jumped down from the baby stroller.

Since the old men wanted to catch fish, he might as well go and help them out.

“Be careful, Little Cat.”

“Yeah, if you fall in, you’ll be drinking a bellyful of water.”

The old men shouted as they saw Li Li jump onto the railing, and then Li Li jumped back down.

Immediately afterward, the fishing rod placed on the ground began to shake.

The three old men quickly pulled on their fishing rods:

“See! I told you Little Cat is a lucky cat. As soon as he looked, a fish took the bait.”

“Of course, Little Cat is a good luck charm.”

“Meow meow~（You three take your time fishing, I’ll just eat slowly here. ）” Li Li muttered as he returned to the baby stroller and continued eating his freeze-dried food.

The three old men experienced the joy of reeling in fish, while his stomach enjoyed the influx of food. It was truly a win-win situation.

“What a big carp! It must weigh at least three pounds. Did you two see that? I’m definitely winning this competition.” The bald old man said happily, holding the carp by its gills.

“Winning? I’m telling you, the one I’m reeling in now is the real deal.” The old man in sunglasses sneered. A three-pound carp had made him so happy, how inexperienced was he?

He would wait until he pulled up the big one in the water and let him see what a real catch was.

“That’s right, the fish I’m reeling in is also very big. You better be prepared.” The old man in the baseball cap chimed in, also playing the line.

“Hmph! Let’s see if you can actually pull them up.” The bald old man retorted. Anyone could boast, did they really think catching it was enough? They had to pull the fish ashore and put it in the bucket before it counted, didn’t they?

“You’ll see.” The old man in sunglasses said and continued to let out the line. The fish was quite large, he had to play it for a while longer.

“Meow meow~（Old men, take your time fishing, I won’t keep you company any longer. ）” Li Li said as he jumped down from the baby stroller and patted the empty plastic bag with his paw. ꞦÅɴȪᛒЁ𐌔

He then walked away with small steps. The three old men were busy playing with their fish and had no time to pay attention to him.

He might as well go out to the street to beg for some food and then visit the young lady’s house.

“Rustle”

The wind blew through the willow trees by the lake, sending their branches swaying and creating ripples on the water’s surface.

Inside a high-rise building in the city center, Li Hao had just put down the phone. He twisted his neck, preparing to take a break, when a gentle voice reached his ears.

“Xiao Li, where did you move to? I heard that the residential complex you used to live in is being demolished, right?” Sister Li, dressed in a women’s suit and holding a cup of coffee, asked with a smile. Her beautiful eyes swept over Li Hao’s muscular arms as he stretched.

“I moved to another residential complex nearby, Sister Li.” Li Hao replied with a smile, carefully observing his surroundings with the corner of his eye.

As expected, the expressions on the faces of his colleagues around him revealed a “I knew it” look. This made Li Hao feel helpless.

Recently, there had been a lot of rumors about him in the company. Some people said he was about to become a kept man and live off a rich woman, while others said he was about to climb the social ladder and get promoted. This made him feel awkward.

He didn’t know how to refute the rumors, and he was also worried about losing his decent job. So he had always pretended not to hear them.

But Sister Li coming to find him like this further confirmed the rumors. In reality, there was nothing going on between him and Sister Li, but it couldn’t stop the gossiping colleagues in the office from speculating.

Especially after he took Sister Li’s car home a few days ago, the news spread throughout the entire company the next day.

“Really? How’s your new place?” Sister Li asked with a smile as she sat down next to Li Hao’s desk, swinging her feet. “Is it big? Is the rent expensive? Do you need an advance on your salary? The company has policies for recent graduates.”

“Uh, thank you, Sister Li. But I don’t need it at the moment.” Li Hao replied with a smile.

Although he was indeed a bit tight on money at the moment, it hadn’t reached the point where he needed to request an advance on his salary. Besides, if he did that, the rumors would spread even more fiercely.

They would say that Sister Li had modified the salary system for him, giving him special treatment.

He didn’t want to do that, he just wanted to earn money in this society with his own hands.

“Alright, young people are really ambitious. But remember, if you need money, come to me anytime.” Sister Li wasn’t annoyed, she said with a cheerful smile and walked towards her office.

Teasing young people every day was also a good way to relax.

“Phew~” Li Hao let out a long sigh of relief as he watched Sister Li leave.

Sister Li had finally left. Her presence at his desk had really stressed him out.

He didn’t even know where to look!

“You’re amazing, Hao Ge. When are you going to teach your little brother a thing or two?” A slightly lewd voice came from beside him just as Li Hao was relaxing.

His colleague, with a face full of pimples and wearing glasses that made him look older than his age, was looking at him with admiration.

Young people these days were really something!

“Come on, bro, don’t joke with me, okay? You’re older than me.” Li Hao said, understanding that his colleague was teasing him.

“No, no, I may be older than you in terms of age, but in terms of skills, I’m far behind you.” The colleague quickly shook his head and looked at Li Hao. “When it comes to picking up girls, if I could learn even a tenth of your skills, it would be enough for a lifetime.”

Who didn’t know that Sister Li was the boss’s younger sister? Not to mention she was still unmarried, beautiful, fair-skinned, with long legs.

Many people had pursued Sister Li over the years, but how many had succeeded? But how long had he been here? And he was already riding in Sister Li’s car?

How could he be his older brother? He should be the younger brother!

“Stop teasing me, bro.” Li Hao said helplessly, then changed the subject. “Bro, are there any cheap all-you-can-eat buffets around here?”

“Yeah, search on the map. There’s a restaurant called ‘Eat Till You’re Full’ in the distance, it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.” The colleague said and started sharing his experience eating there:

“It’s eighteen yuan to eat as much as you want, but the rice is hard, and the dishes are all cold. The red braised pork is all big chunks of fat, the stir-fried liver is tough as h*ll, and the chili fried pork? They use all chicken meat. Honestly, eating there? It’s better to spend a little more money.”

After he had been fooled once, he never went there again.

Going there wasn’t eating, it was torture!

“Is it really that bad?” Li Hao couldn’t help but doubt, looking at his colleague’s vivid description.

“You’ll know when you go, it’s even worse than I said.” The colleague patted Li Hao’s shoulder and turned back to continue making phone calls.

After listening, Li Hao thought for a moment and decided to go to the place his colleague mentioned at noon to check it out.

Because his appetite was really too big now, if he went to an ordinary restaurant, he would finish all the dishes before he was even full.

Every time, he had to order a lot of rice, and eating plain rice was really hard.

So, he wanted to find a restaurant that was cheap but where he could eat as much as he wanted.

As for the shortcomings his colleague mentioned? As long as he could eat his fill, he didn’t really care.

After silently remembering the name of the restaurant, Li Hao continued working.

He planned to go and have a look later at noon. If the place his colleague mentioned was decent, he would eat there regularly from now on.

Inside the ‘Eat Till You’re Full’ restaurant at noon, the number of people gradually increased. Li Hao, who had just entered, paid and started picking up dishes with his tray.

Although the color of the dishes in the restaurant wasn’t very appealing, it wasn’t as bad as what Li Hao had heard from his colleague.

At least he could see a lot of meat dishes, such as red braised pork, chili fried pork, stir-fried pork with dried tofu, sweet and sour pork, and stir-fried pork with vegetables.

Li Hao piled them onto his plate until it formed a small mountain, then he went to a table, grabbed a large bowl, and started eating.

Although the dishes were indeed a bit salty, and the meat wasn’t fresh, it was plentiful and filling, which was exactly what he needed right now.

Ever since he became like a mini-Superman, his appetite had increased exponentially. He could eat at least five people’s worth of food by himself. If he didn’t find a place where he could eat his fill…

Honestly, he wouldn’t be able to work properly.

This place might have hard rice and not-so-hot dishes, but at least he could eat his fill, right?

“Old woman, we’ve met our match.” The old man collecting money said, patting the old lady next to him as he noticed the bowls of rice disappearing one after another and the dishes rapidly diminishing at a particular spot.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” The old lady asked, her tone full of impatience.

She was watching videos, what was the old man bothering her for?

“Look over there, old woman.” The old man pointed to Li Hao’s spot.

“What’s there to see? He’s just eating a bit more, how much can he possibly eat? Can he eat our restaurant out of business?” The old lady glanced over and said dismissively. “Since we’re running a restaurant, we have to be able to handle it. How many people like him who can eat a lot are there? Don’t make a fuss.”

Wasn’t he just a young man who could eat? How much could he possibly eat? At most, they could just let him eat more, right?
