Hei Chai came to Shanshui Huamen from Shanghai, and Wei Duan Gong liked him at first sight, saying that he was more spirited than the half-bought, half-snatched Shandong Hua Tiao. In fact, Hei Chai was just an ordinary-looking native dog with a small skeletal frame and no sharp teeth or menacing appearance. When he arrived at Chen Er Gou's place, he only wagged his tail, but Wei Duan Gong was a master of both theory and practice, and had a keen eye for dogs. Although he liked Hei Chai very much, he didn't make a big fuss about buying him from Chen Er Gou, but instead asked if he could mate Hei Chai with the Shandong Hua Tiao to produce puppies. Chen Er Gou did not refuse outright, saying that he needed to take a look at the Hua Tiao first. Hei Chai had also reached breeding age, and the Zhangjiashan mountain dog breed, which had been passed down for over 200 years, could not be allowed to become extinct in Chen Er Gou's hands. However, if the Shandong Hua Tiao, which Wei Duan Gong claimed could single-handedly chase away wild boars, was not of good quality, Chen Er Gou would not sacrifice Hei Chai's bloodline, even if it meant offending Wei Duan Gong. This was one of his last remaining bottom lines.

  Hei Chang arrived, and the happiest one was Zhang Sanqian. This six or seven year old kid who knew how to dig up wild vegetables and cook them to survive didn't have much pride, but still had a childlike heart that loved taking Hei Chang on patrols around the neighborhood. It seemed like after Hei Chang peed in a few spots here and there, this high-end neighborhood would become his and Hei Chang's territory. Zhang Sanqian liked secretly letting Hei Chang meet the neighborhood's wolf dog and golden retriever on narrow paths. Those two dogs were usually very arrogant, barking loudly at passersby, but after Hei Chang arrived, they completely lost their nerve, becoming timid like castrated male dogs.

  The dogs raised by Wei Duan Gong were all in love with the black leopard, and every time they tried to get close, they would be bitten on the neck and thrown to the ground, whimpering for mercy. The more the black leopard bit them, the more Wei Duan Gong liked it, and he became determined to let it mate with a dog raised at his villa in Zhongshan Golf Course. It's unknown whether this was due to loving everything about the house, but Wei Duan Gong voluntarily asked Chen Er Gou to help him raise three good dogs he had just bought for a high price: an English Mastiff, a Shaanxi Xoloitzcuintli, and a Greyhound. Wei Duan Gong paid great attention to bloodlines when buying dogs and liked to bring out their wildness and ferocity. Chen Er Gou even thought that maybe the Poodle would eventually bite people desperately in this man's hands. Wei Duan Gong had no requirements, just letting Chen Er Gou raise them brutally, daring to bite people, able to catch rabbits, the less they looked like domestic dogs, the better.

  "These three beasts have been raised well and will bring you extra benefits."

  Wei Duan Gong was finally going to leave Shan Shui Hua Men for a while, which was normal. There was no reason for someone who seemed like they could turn the clouds and rain with a flick of their wrist to be hiding in this small place, spending all day chatting with Chen Er Gou about dogs, feng shui, and life. Even Chen Er Gou thought it was out of character. As he got into the sedan chair, Wei Duan Gong threw out a mysterious bait to Chen Er Gou, believing that he would definitely take it.

  Wei Duan Gong handed Chen Er Gou the keys to the villa, and worked with the two guys who had been taking care of his dogs all along. However, not a word was mentioned about salary, which left Chen Er Gou slightly disappointed. Money is something that's always better in abundance, and since Wei Duan Gong didn't bring it up, Chen Er Gou couldn't possibly ask for it like an idiot. But Wei Duan Gong had given him the opportunity, and Chen Er Gou was still deeply grateful from the bottom of his heart. Being able to step into the grand villa's doors was a great start, and a good beginning is half of success. Chen Er Gou wouldn't waste a single grain of rice in his bowl, let alone any big opportunities that came his way.

  Let Wang Hu go to the city to help him buy a large stack of professional books on raising dogs. Chen Er Gou began to study day and night, researching all the famous dog breeds in the world. There were two professional dog breeders living in the villa, one named Wang Hongbin and the other named Zheng Shaohua. Because Chen Er Gou didn't steal their rice bowl, they were relatively polite to him. Adding that this young man seemed to have a deep relationship with Wei Ye, their politeness was inevitable. Moreover, Chen Er Gou got the key to enter the villa, often helped them with their work after finishing his own tasks, and didn't ask for anything in return. When he met them, he would bow his head and offer them cigarettes, calling them "Wang Ge" and "Zheng Ge". Occasionally, Wei Duan Gong would call to inquire about the progress, and Chen Er Gou would not forget to interject a few good words on their behalf. The two of them felt very comfortable in their hearts, and this young man was particularly understanding and humble. They would often boast and brag when they were with him, and he would definitely cooperate by affirming and appreciating them. The key point was that they thought this young man's smile was not hypocritical, and he was a sincere person who was willing to suffer losses. As a result, within a week, they were willing to teach Chen Er Gou some of the secrets of raising dogs. After all, everyone was doing a job without competition. You raise your Alaskan dog, I raise my Shaanxi fine-haired dog, and the boundaries are clear. The masters are generous, and Wang and Zheng unknowingly became dependent on Chen Er Gou's omnipotence. They would buy cigarettes, wine, and takeout for them, listen to their complaints, tell dirty jokes, and play cards with them. Of course, Chen Er Gou lost money every time, but the amount was not large, usually around 70 or 80 yuan. However, even a small mosquito is still meat, and Wang and Zheng would occasionally go to Chen Er Gou's nest to freeload a few meals. They would chat with Wang Hu about feng shui, or ask Wang Jiefang to talk about some romantic stories in bed. Those days were quite enjoyable.

  After taking care of Wang and Zheng, Chen Ergou can finally focus on raising his dogs. He also tries to get some information about Wei Duan Gong from them. In this world, there is no love without reason, no hate without reason, and no sacrifice without reason. Chen Ergou, being a stingy and petty person, has invested so much, naturally expecting returns. However, the returns he gets are not what Wang and Zheng can understand. Those two people are content with making a small profit of 5,000 yuan per month and living a comfortable life, going on a big spending spree once a month. Chen Ergou doesn't dare say they lack ambition or don't seek to improve themselves. People's hearts are unpredictable, and maybe everyone has their own untold stories. Chen Ergou is busy climbing the social ladder and doesn't have time to be cynical or sarcastic. In Wang Huzi's opinion, he is simply looking for trouble. After seeing the red dragon fish in the large aquarium at Wei Duan Gong's villa, Chen Ergou again buried himself in researching the habits and feeding of this species. When the range hood and water heater in the villa broke down, and the curtains were torn, he had to carefully investigate and try to figure out a principle behind it. As a result, the books on Chen Ergou's desk became thicker and more diverse. Wang Jiefang has always been puzzled by this, thinking that even if being a grave robber or a philanderer is considered despicable, at least it can bring some excitement. In contrast, doing odd jobs and repairs seems too mundane. He personally thinks Chen Ergou could follow him to do something big and make a name for himself in two or three years. Why bother with these trivial matters? However, Wang Jiefang dare not say this to Wang Huzi, fearing he would get beaten up, so he can only keep it to himself.

  Wei Duan Gong had four daughters, one was twenty-three years old and another just turned fourteen a few days ago. They would take advantage of Wei Duan Gong's absence from the Shan Shui Hua Gate to go to their villas for fun, calling up their close friends, in groups of three or five, most of whom were not very old but had cars, with great fanfare, making Chen Er Gou, a small security guard, very envious. These children who grew up with silver spoons in their mouths really lived in a honey jar.

  Here is the translation:

  The fourteen-year-old girl was called Wei Dongchong, and her sister was called Wei Xiacao. As soon as Chen Ergou thought of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that Wei Duan Gong, such a big shot, really didn't care about his daughters, not even bothering to give them decent names. Every time Wei Dongchong saw Chen Ergou playing with the dog, she would inexplicably fly into a rage, and at every opportunity, she would take it out on Chen Ergou, either teasing him or being sarcastic and hurtful, sometimes even creating malicious pranks that bordered on personal attacks. Sometimes, those around her who were roughly the same age as her felt that she was going too far, but Chen Ergou got angry and still didn't let her get away with it, after all, this was her father's territory. And the reason she wouldn't let him off the hook might be because she was redirecting her anger towards her father onto Chen Ergou. Chen Ergou felt wronged, but there was nothing he could do - who made him the softest persimmon under Wei Duan Gong? Wei Dongchong dared not mess with Guo Jueyuan's head, after all, when you're in someone else's house, you have to lower your head. Every time, Chen Ergou would squeeze out a smile so bright that it made Wei Dongchong feel guilty and eventually back down. But usually, after two or three weeks, her spoiled and arrogant temper would flare up again, and she would bring another group of ignorant young masters to the Mountain Water Huamen to eat, drink, play, and cause trouble for Chen Ergou. It's likely that even Zhang Sanqian, who had met Wei Dongchong a few times, had already lost his patience with her.

  Wei Xiacao is slightly better, occasionally hosting parties at the villa, and completely ignoring Chen Ergou. She doesn't praise or thank him when he handles trivial matters well, nor does she scold or glare at him when things go wrong. Overall, it's as if she has never taken this young man who raises dogs for her father seriously.

  The original text was not a high-level personal attack, and neither Wei Dongchong nor Wei Xiacao could land a hit on Chen Ergou. However, when these two extreme and disagreeable rich princesses collided, World War III almost broke out, nearly blowing Chen Ergou to smithereens. It happened to be Wei Dongchong's birthday, so he invited a large group of 15-16 year old kids to Mountain Water Huamen for a wild party. Coincidentally, Wei Xiacao was hosting a masquerade ball with the theme of witches and magicians. The two groups brought nearly thirty cars, almost crushing the villa. Wei Dongchong refused to leave, and Wei Xiacao wouldn't back down either. The two groups occupied one floor each, while Wang and Zheng slipped away early. Chen Ergou was left running up and down the stairs, exhausted. Zhu Bajie looked at himself in the mirror, feeling like an outsider who couldn't fit into either circle, and was shunned by both. Yet, he couldn't leave, and so the torture continued.

  The only thing that comforted Chen Ergou was the beautiful women brought by the two sisters. Wei Dongchu's companions were all seductive little Lolitas and pure little princesses, while Wei Xiacao's companions were all elegant and mature women, known for being intelligent and sophisticated. The theme of the dance party was quite strange to Chen Ergou, with its witch-like atmosphere. As he looked at the young women dressed in revealing clothing, their faces expressionless but their bodies language screaming desire, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his mind filled with dirty thoughts. It's hard for men who have had experience to go back to being innocent boys. To be honest, if it were just about looks, Wei Dongchu's crazy and wild little woman would be the most beautiful, but her untamed personality ruined her originally stunning appearance. On the other hand, Wei Xiacao was much more mature and elegant, not necessarily pretty but with a refined and dignified demeanor, every smile and frown subtle yet unrestrained. She was indeed one of the two centers of attention at the dance party, having grown up in a government compound with her mother's influence.

  There's another focal point, a young man with a face, temperament, and figure that can't be faulted. In short, he's handsome enough to make the flower-crazy girls scream, and they'd all want to immediately move out a bed to devote themselves to him. If he wanted to elope, she'd elope; if he wanted children, she'd immediately produce one. He wore an expensive white robe with strange patterns embroidered on it that Chen Ergou couldn't understand, which made him very compatible with the witches. He was undoubtedly the most outstanding "magician". To be honest, Chen Ergou envied and resented this man. Having a rich family background was already enough, but he also had to look so good that it made his fellow men feel inferior. What's more infuriating was that he didn't seem shallow; even if he was a second- or third-generation noble, he was still a refined young master. Chen Ergou crouched on the stairs, feeling both sentimental and depressed, thinking that fortunately Xiaoyao wasn't like Zhang Xiangxian, who would see a handsome guy and want to strip him naked for aesthetic appreciation.

  As soon as he thought of Zhang Xiangxiang, Chen Ergou also felt a little melancholy. He didn't understand that sharp-tongued and soft-hearted woman either. She looked frivolous and empty, without any depth, and was vain and proud. To be honest, although Chen Ergou couldn't say he had good feelings towards her, at least he didn't dislike her. After being with her for a bit longer, he confirmed that even if she was a fool, she wasn't the kind of person who would make others feel disgusted.

  "Where did that stupid dog go?!"

  Just as Chen Ergou was secretly admiring the beautiful and charming Wei Xiaocao, a sharp voice pierced through the first and second floors. Wei Dongchong stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, with his hands on his hips, looking down at Chen Ergou who was squatting in the middle of the stairs. His face was filled with anger that made others feel cold to the bone. Women are like snakes, once they bite, it's even colder. Chen Ergou had no choice but to accept the nickname "dog slave" that Wei Dongchong had forced upon him. Under the gaze of a group of men and women on the first floor, he patted his butt and went upstairs to do some chores for Wei Dongchong, wanting to curry favor and avoid trouble. Wei Xiaocao glanced at him and then lost interest, she had never been interested in this spineless man since the first time she saw him. She admired her father, Wei Duan Gong, that kind of man, not someone who would smile and fawn all over her as soon as he saw her. So she would rather show some respect to the driver, Guo Xian Yu, than give Chen Ergou a good face. Just as she was about to turn around and chat with her friends, she heard a sound of gasping for air, looked up and saw that Wei Dongchong had splashed a cup of juice on Chen Ergou's face, and then the man didn't even get angry, just wiped his face and continued upstairs to do some despicable things. Wei Xiaocao sneered: "He really is a dog slave, a lifetime of flattering and fawning, what a worthless life."

  A person who had just stepped into the villa stumbled upon this scene and quickly turned around to leave, seemingly deep in thought. (To find out what happens next, please log in, more chapters available, support the author, support the official version!)
