Fang Ping left the 4S dealership and returned to the office building.
Inside the company, Zhou Chenchen was anxiously waiting. It was almost lunchtime, and Lord still hadn't come back.
She had decided not to leave until Lord returned—only then would she go out with everyone.
The moment she saw a cat's head appear at the company entrance, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Lord was back.
"Lord, hurry up, we're just waiting for you," Zhou Chenchen called quietly, waving him over.
Fang Ping strolled in slowly, glanced at the time, and flicked his ears.
Wasn't there still one minute left?
This should count as being on time.
Zhou Chenchen didn't scold him. Waiting always made people anxious, but once he showed up, the smile returned to her face.
"Let's go!"
"Everyone together!"
"Lunch is on me today—don't be shy!"
She turned to the rest of the office and said brightly, now that it was officially lunchtime.
Even though she had been a little heartbroken earlier calculating the lunch cost, Zhou Chenchen was ultimately a generous girl.
Her sincere smile showed she genuinely wanted to treat everyone.
Her coworkers could feel her sincerity too, and quickly stood up, smiling.
"Chenchen's buying?"
"Then I'm definitely in."
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
No one could bring themselves to feel jealous of Zhou Chenchen.
She was always serious and hardworking—everyone could see that.
Just then, Director Zhang walked into the office, noticing the group chatting and heading out.
"Chenchen!"
"Where are you all going? So many of you?"
She asked Zhou Chenchen with a curious look.
"Director!"
"I'm about to sign the official contract."
"I thought I'd treat everyone to lunch to celebrate. I was just about to invite you too!"
Zhou Chenchen explained with a smile and politely extended the invitation.
She didn't mention that it was her colleagues who pushed her to treat.
"Getting along with coworkers is a good thing."
"You all go ahead, I won't join this time."
"I've got a few things to take care of."
Director Zhang nodded but declined.
She was doing it on purpose.
After all, her position was different. If she joined them, everyone might feel stiff, and it wouldn't help Zhou Chenchen bond with the team.
"Director! Then I'll treat you next time."
Zhou Chenchen said with a hint of regret.
Fang Ping, however, caught on to Director Zhang's intention—she was clearly helping Zhou Chenchen.
He thoughtfully glanced at the director, wondering why she treated Zhou Chenchen so well.
Director Zhang noticed Fang Ping looking at her. She hadn't expected this little cat head to be so thoughtful, but she still gave Fang Ping a kind smile.
"Lord is going with you too, right?"
"You all take good care of Lord."
"Don't let him be wronged."
Truthfully, no one needed to be reminded. Everyone was going to take good care of Fang Ping anyway.
The group laughed and agreed as they left the company.
The lunch spot was a nearby restaurant—Zhou Chenchen had already called ahead to reserve a table.
Everyone had to work in the afternoon, so they weren't planning to go far.
Besides, this kind of group meal wasn't meant to be luxurious. Just a simple lunch together was enough.
Rather than talk about work, the group ended up focusing all their attention on Fang Ping.
"Chenchen, your cat is so obedient and sweet. How did you raise him?"
"I'm so jealous. I want to adopt a cat too."
"I heard some cats have bad temperaments. Is that true?"
"How do you usually handle a cat's hygiene?"
Everyone chatted about cats, and Zhou Chenchen shared what little experience she had.
Though in truth, most of it didn't apply to Lord at all.
Lord wasn't a normal cat.
But that was their secret—she would never tell.
Fang Ping ignored the conversation. His tail flicked gently as he perched on a chair, eating from his own little dish and minding only his full belly.
The lunch lasted just over thirty minutes.
Afterward, everyone returned to the company to rest before getting back to work.
Zhou Chenchen started reviewing the Ou Group materials, just as Director Zhang had instructed.
Fang Ping watched for a while, got bored, and once again remembered the nearby 4S dealership.
There were still so many cars he hadn't examined in detail. Since it was the afternoon and he had time, he had to go back.
With that thought, he jumped down from the desk.
"Lord, you're going out again?"
He hadn't meant to alert Zhou Chenchen, but she noticed anyway.
Fang Ping simply flicked his tail upright.
Just going out for a bit—I'll be back soon.
"Be careful. There are a lot of people around. Don't run off."
Zhou Chenchen reminded him gently.
Fang Ping flicked his tail again to signal he understood, then walked out.
He entered the elevator and, to his relief, didn't encounter those enthusiastic Little Misses again.
He let out a mental sigh.
Those Little Misses were a bit too much. He couldn't handle that kind of passion for long.
By the time he left the building and approached the 4S dealership again—
In the live streaming room, viewers were already speculating:
"Why is Lord back here again?"
"He already came this morning, and now he's here again. What's pulling him in?"
"There aren't any other cats there… Lord's thoughts are hard to predict."
"I swear I saw Lord studying those cars this morning. You think he's really here to check out vehicles?"
"Come on, he's a cat! Even if he had money, he can't drive!"
"He does have money—didn't that lady give him a bank card earlier?"
"True! Maybe he's buying a car for his goddess!"
"Bingo. Lord really has become a human being!"
Fang Ping had no idea the viewers had already guessed his plan.
He reached the dealership entrance, just about to follow someone inside—
When suddenly!
The employee at the entrance—who'd been scolded twice in the morning—spotted him.
It was the same cat from this morning.
That cat…
was back again!
