Superstars of Tomorrow - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Last Time Walking The Dog

Yan Biao didn’t tell Fang Zhao of his decision the following day. Fang Zhao was very busy in the preparation phase for the concert, and Yan Biao didn’t want to interfere with his work.

Zuo Yu had also thought about it all night and felt awkward in front of Fang Zhao today. In truth, he too had been tempted to resign. However, he wasn’t as resolute as Yan Biao.

Yan Biao had been recruited directly by Fang Zhao, whereas Zuo Yu was assigned by Silver Wing Media. Even if he hadn’t become Fang Zhao’s bodyguard, he would probably have been assigned to some other celebrity. However, the entertainment circle was messy. Things were much simpler by Fang Zhao’s side. Nonetheless, Yan Biao was correct. He couldn’t keep doing this. He didn’t want to be stuck here forever as a salted fish.

He hadn’t thought through about when to resign because he didn’t know what he would do after. He needed to find some other options first.

So, when they went to pick up Curly Hair from Fang Zhao, they both felt somewhat guilty.

Fang Zhao sensed the awkwardness but didn’t bring it up. After briefing them on their dog walking assignment for today, he headed to the art and cultural center for rehearsals with the youth orchestra.

He could tell that Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were bothered by something but that it wasn’t urgent. Fang Zhao wasn’t going to press them for answers if they didn’t say anything. He expected he would find out after the concert.

Planet Yin’s spaceport had tested all the service dogs. Curly Hair’s results were very good and even broke many records. Planet Yin’s spaceport inspection team felt disappointed but also had renewed motivation.

The captain of the spaceport inspection team noticed that Yan Biao and Zuo Yu seemed down when walking Curly Hair so he came over to speak with them during free time.

“Walking dogs is great! I alone can walk ten dogs like Curly Hair! He’s so obedient! And he’s a small dog. Small dogs are good. Small dogs that aren’t temperamental and don’t bark incessantly are great to walk! They aren’t strong so it isn’t tiring at all. If there’s ever a time you’re too busy to walk the dog, we can help out! Just ask if you need anything!”

Till now, Curly Hair was the only one who beat their spaceport’s elite dogs in the tests. If you aren’t willing to walk Curly Hair, we have many people ready to jump at that opportunity!

Some others offered to help walk Curly Hair as well, but Yan Biao and Zuo Yu declined their offers.

Although he didn’t like the job of walking the dog, Yan Biao knew how valuable Curly Hair was. Fang Zhao had also drilled it into them to stay by Curly Hair’s side and not let anyone else walk him. They even had to take turns using the toilet so that someone would be watching him at all times.

Yan Biao had totally been brainwashed by Nanfeng and saw these as attempts to steal Curly Hair. Was Planet Yin plotting something?

On the day of the joint art performance, dogs weren’t allowed into the venue. Nanfeng needed to be at Fang Zhao’s side to help deal with matters related to the performance. So, Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were again watching over Curly Hair.

Yan Biao was filled with complex emotions and heavy sighs when they had set out.

This could possibly be his last dog walking assignment before he resigned.

After this task was done, the performance would be over. He wouldn’t need to walk the dog after that.

How great!

Even if he resigned and changed jobs, he could at least say that he had once walked a dog worth 300 million!

Yan Biao had spent the past few nights contemplating his future path and had put together more than ten pages worth of future career prospects ranging from bodyguard or engineer to even a youth interest group teacher.

Anything was fine as long as he would never have to walk a dog again!

When Yan Biao and Zuo Yu brought Curly Hair to the Planet Yin spaceport, he realized that the circumstances today seemed a little unusual.

There was an extra dog at the space port.

It was a small dog, about the same size as Curly Hair. Its long lustrous fur was light brown and had streaks of white on its head. It was obvious this dog was cared for meticulously.

Yan Biao glanced over and noticed the inspection team members had wide grins on their faces.

“She belongs to the family of an old professor on Planet Yin. She’s highly intelligent, and despite being kept as a pet, she has service dog level abilities.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Biao understood at once.

This is clearly matchmaking!

The boss hasn’t even gotten matched yet! Hig dog gets one first!

Although Yan Biao didn’t like the job of walking the dog, he had to admit that Curly Hair was indeed remarkable. It was no wonder why so many people wanted him.

This bunch at the spaceport had wanted to determine whether Curly Hair was really as intelligent as they had heard. They had wondered if he could surpass their elite dogs. So, with the test administered by themselves, they trusted its results.

Now that they had confirmed Curly Hair’s abilities, it was time for their next step.

It was no wonder that Planet Yin had permitted Fang Zhao to bring his dog over so easily. They treated Curly Hair even better than Yan Biao and Zuo Yu.

If they couldn’t get the dog, perhaps they could get its genes!

It explained why the inspection team had seemed somewhat down. They felt it was a shame that Curly Hair didn’t fancy any of the dogs in the team. With the joint art performance being today, it was their last chance before Fang Zhao’s departure.

This little dog was really beautiful. Even her dog collar seemed much more exquisite than that of other dogs.

But, Nanfeng had mentioned before that Curly Hair had high standards! There were so many dogs in Muzhou, yet Curly Hair hadn’t taken a fancy to any before!

Those Muzhou dog lovers hadn’t succeeded in getting Curly Hair to leave offspring. It would be an uphill battle for Planet Yin as well.

In any case, this matter had to be reported.

Yan Biao immediately sent a message to Fang Zhao explaining the situation here.

“Boss, you have to negotiate with the people here on Planet Yin.”

Yan Biao was trying to say that Fang Zhao should try to get some additional benefits in exchange from Planet Yin. However, he suddenly froze when he saw Curly Hair.

“Eh?! Boss, you better make it fast! Curly Hair’s eyes are set!”

Fang Zhao glanced at the photograph Yan Biao sent over and saw Curly Hair staring at the nearby little furry dog.

Fang Zhao thought for a moment and enlarged the photo to observe that small dog. He discovered that the collar worn by that dog was made using a type of high grade power ore.

Fang Zhao: “….”

Fang Zhao grimaced and rubbed his aching head. Then, he ordered Yan Biao and Zuo Yu, “Watch Curly Hair carefully. Don’t let him lick random things. Report to me immediately if something out of the ordinary happens!”

“Understood!”

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu felt that they completely understood their boss’ intentions. The boss definitely wanted them to guard against the unsavory methods of those from the Planet Yin spaceport!

Wretched beings! Not even willing to let a dog off!!

Meanwhile, the spaceport’s inspection team felt that their plans were proceeding smoothly. They were delighted.

Curly Hair was oblivious to what the two sides were thinking. He glanced at that small dog nearby and fixed his gaze on that power ore that hung around its neck. Curly Hair licked his nose and took a few steps forward. However, he remembered what Fang Zhao had said and drew back.

“Hahahaha, Little Curls is still shy!” An inspection team member chuckled.

“Don’t be shy! Go, quick!”

Curly Hair set his innocent dog eyes on the inspection team members ahead who were egging him on before turning back to glance at Yan Biao and Zuo Yu. Those two salted fishes simply didn’t seem like they had any intention of stopping him. Thus, he got bolder and continued to inch closer to the dog.

The spaceport inspection team members were excited upon seeing this. However, they still held back their laughter because they were worried about disturbing this “matchmaking” session.

A few team members really couldn’t hold it in and sent messages in their internal group chat.

“It’s working, it’s working! Our Planet Yin dog is more attractive than Muzhou dogs!”

“That doesn’t sound that pleasing… but who cares! It’s all good if it succeeds!”

“This is a dog that beat the Muzhou police academy’s elite team of dogs! It also broke the records of the elite dogs we bred and is even more effective than the latest sensors! Its genes are definitely very outstanding!”

In their opinion, they needed to seize this opportunity when Curly Hair was still in peak form. They wanted to breed a batch of outstanding puppies before Curly Hair got old. Of course, the most important thing was that they didn’t know when they would ever get another chance if this session failed. Fang Zhao would be heading back once the performance ended.

They had considered cloning before, but cloning did not necessarily mean that ability would be replicated. There were too many failures in cloning, so they had gone for natural breeding.

Right now, Curly Hair was less than two meters away from that dog.

As that “fragrant” power ore got closer, Curly Hair’s mouth started to water.

Before Curly Hair could get closer, all the fur on that dog suddenly stood up. She seemed to swell up before scampering back a couple of steps like a hare. She hid behind the inspection team members while yelping and shaking as if she was scared witless.

Everyone present: “???”

“What the hell is this?” Yan Biao asked in bafflement.

The two man salted fish team exchanged puzzled glances and were thinking to themselves, Are pet dogs on Planet Yin that timid?

The inspection team members also had crestfallen looks on their faces.

A pity!

They had never imagined that the problem would be on their end!

This dog was normally so wild when it was by the professor’s side. Why was it this frightened today over just a matchmaking session?

Looks like this matchmaking has failed.

Curly Hair’s innocent dog eyes stared at the little dog hiding behind the inspection team members and realized that it was hiding in a very safe spot. He then turned his gaze towards the inspection team members. A trickle of saliva dripped out from the corner of his mouth.

Rumble rumble—

The growling of Curly Hair’s stomach diffused the awkward atmosphere.

Yan Biao was puzzled. “Didn’t you just finish up all the dog food before we set out today? How are you hungry again?”

An inspection team member chuckled. “Haha, looks like Little Curly is hungry. Maybe it’s because he has literally seen a ‘feast for the eyes’!”

Another team member interjected, “Isn’t ‘feast for the eyes’ a little unsuitable here?”

The other dog seemed to be very jumpy, and the inspection team members were worried too. Seeing that the “matchmaking” had failed, they brought the dog away. They had to go out on a mission soon and didn’t have time to stay here for idle chit-chat.

A small inspection team squad left with their dogs to start the day’s mission. Yan Biao and Zuo Yu brought Curly Hair along to watch as well.

However, it seemed like interaction between the two sides was difficult. Each time Curly Hair wanted to get close, the inspection team dogs would scuttle away.

Zuo Yu huffed. “They are isolating him! This is emotional abuse!!”

Yan Biao agreed with what Zuo Yu said. The Planet Yin dogs were excluding Curly Hair!

However, this wasn’t too important to him. This would be the last time he would have a dog walking assignment. Once Fang Zhao’s performance ended, the ones walking the dog would be Nanfeng and Fang Zhao. He would inform Fang Zhao of his decision to resign first and recommend suitable candidates to replace himself later.

I’ll submit my resignation to Boss after walking the dog today.
