1342 Reward System (1/2)

It was yet another day.

”Good morning, Mr. Store Manager!”

Early in the morning, Little Celery saw Zhang Zian standing by the door of the store and immediately ran over to say hello.

”Hey, Little Celery. Good morning.”

Zhang Zian was observing the swallowtail butterfly larva by the store next door. He took the opportunity to wave at Little Celery.

Little Celery ran forward and copied him. She also went to take a look at the larva.

”Has it become a larva?” she asked.

”Yes.”

”That's great! How long will it take for a beautiful butterfly to emerge from it?” She was looking forward to it.

”Well, it won't take long.” Zhang Zian nodded. ”Did Little Celery give some thought as to what she will be writing for her composition?”

”Yes, I did, and I am done!”

Little Celery shared her idea with Zhang Zian. He corrected her on some of the factual and rhetorical errors along the way but did not modify her main content. After all, this composition needed to be written by her, not him.

After sharing, Little Celery did not intend to go to school immediately, nor did she intend to enter the store to visit the hamsters and rabbits. Instead, it seemed like she had something else to say.

”What's the matter? What else?” Zhang Zian saw her hesitating.

”That...” She groaned. ”The caterpillars by our school are growing in number. Even the walls are filled with them. They are everywhere. The students are very scared. The teachers are also getting headaches about this issue. So I told the teacher that Mr. Store Manager is very capable. Perhaps you may have a way to solve the caterpillar problem.”

”Oh... So, if I'm not wrong, you recommended me to your teacher?” he asked.

”Well... I didn't ask you in advance, so I don't know if Mr. Store Manager has the time...” she said as if she had made a mistake.

”I have a lot of time, and if it's anything to do with eliminating pests, leave it to me!”

If the issue was controlling stray cats and dogs, he likely wouldn't be as boastful. However, this was merely some caterpillars. However many there were, as long as he set off to work on them, he would definitely be able to eliminate all of those filthy caterpillars!

Although he had not made the street office budge to his request, something he was highly frustrated about, now that he had the time to think about it, it was not a big deal. The street office was merely a coordinating department. For example, the internal affairs of the school could not be controlled by the street office. Why not take this opportunity and try out what he wanted to do at Zhonghua Road Primary School? It may be wiser to start off with a smaller area. If he had to treat the entire Dongcheng District from the get-go, he may not do such a great job.

”Great! I have already told the teacher. The teacher also informed the guards about it. Mr. Store Manager can come by anytime he wants!” Little Celery was so happy she skipped a little. ”Then I will go to school first!”

”Okay, go ahead. Don't run too fast.”

Little Celery ran away happily, and Zhang Zian saw her slowly disappear around the corner of the street.

He thought through it. Even if he were heading for the school, he should not go in the morning because the school was busy then. There were many parents there to pick up the children. If he wanted to go, it would be better to go in the afternoon.

As for the afternoon, besides his usual practice of playing Sihwa's songs at the seaside, he'd also made an appointment with the white dog to observe the results of the stray dogs' collection.

From two days ago in the afternoon till noon today, the time given to Little White to mobilize his comrades was about 48 hours.
