Chapter 1490: Chapter 577: Helping Deng Lison Pick a Kitten? No Problem! Sunday Reunion Dinner at the Han Family!

Old Shen rolled up a piece of lettuce, dipped it in egg sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and crunched away happily, his face full of bliss.

He said to Lin Xu:

"Bring two fish tomorrow, Grandma likes fish. Put some effort into making them nice."

"Alright Dad, no problem."

After breakfast the next day, Lin Xu drove back to the store, brought some marinated food, and grabbed some ingredients. He also took the new toy Shu Yun bought for Dundun and drove with Dundun and Shen Jiayue to Dongdan.

At the entrance of the Han family’s courtyard, Uncle Han Shuyu was already waiting.

The recent change of season chill has been quite severe. He wore a military coat and directed Lin Xu to park the car in a parking space by the roadside.

Living in an alley has this disadvantage: fewer parking spaces. It’s barely enough usually, but when relatives or guests visit, it’s a bit tight.

Lin Xu got out of the car, opened the door, and Han Shuyu immediately took Dundun, wrapped him in his military coat:

"Are you cold, little darling? Let’s go, let’s go inside to warm up. Everyone’s waiting to take a picture with you."

Dundun’s fame is growing. The adults in the family don’t quite notice it, they just think the little guy is cute. But the younger generation always wants a photo when they see Dundun and even take selfies to show off in front of classmates.

It’s somewhat similar to Chen Shaokang’s idea of showing off.

But showing off Dundun has the benefit of not getting kicked out of a group by a teacher.

No matter how much you show off your cat, it’ll only make everyone envious. But posting food late at night could make people a bit angry.

Lin Xu opened the trunk, and Shen Jiayue and he each carried a big cardboard box out of the car. As they closed the car door, it automatically locked, and as they were about to go in, Shen Guofu arrived in his Bentley.

Seeing Lin Xu’s Maserati, Old Shen said:

"It’s a pity the car I ordered won’t clear customs until the end of next month, still gotta wait."

When they bought the car, his and Uncle Chen Meiliang’s cars were both customized, requiring factory production. They need to be shipped by sea and delivered to Beijing after regular customs clearance, which takes quite a while.

Walking into the Han family courtyard, Shen Jiayue’s cousins were all taking photos with Dundun. Cousin Wenshan from Aunt’s house even put Dundun on his shoulder for Cousin Wenqing to take a photo.

"Dundun, I’m your Uncle, cooperate a bit when taking photos and I’ll give you a red envelope."

Dundun originally wasn’t interested, but perked up upon hearing about a red envelope.

This Spring Festival effectively turned Dundun from an indifferent little kitten into a little money lover. For photos, he not only snuggled his face against Shi Wenshan’s, but also looked very affectionate.

This made Shi Wenshan so happy he stuffed a thick red envelope into Dundun’s arms.

"Here you go, darling. Let’s see if anyone can say I’m bragging now."

This year, Shi Wenshan is around 34 or 35, a dentist. In the past, he worked at Tiantan Hospital but found working within the system too stifling, so he resigned and opened a dental practice.

His business isn’t bad at all; he makes more money monthly than his annual salary used to be.

Recently, he opened two branches and wanted to promote them online, but had not found the right promotional method or advertiser.

Seeing Dundun, an idea struck Shi Wenshan.

He handed Dundun to other siblings clamoring for photos, and strode into the kitchen, whispering:

"Lin Xu, does Dundun take advertisements?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"Not planning on it for now, why, Brother?"

Shi Wenshan is the eldest amongst the Han family’s third generation, so everyone calls him Brother.

"I want to advertise my dental practice and think Dundun is quite suitable. If not feasible, then never mind, I’ll think of other methods."

A dental practice advertising with a pet.

That thinking is quite quirky!

Lin Xu said:

"How about this, I help you advertise. Later I’ll come over to your practice to shoot a ’store exploration’ video, and check my teeth too."

To have good teeth, regular cleaning is essential.

Teeth cleaning not only removes tartar and plaque but also eliminates symptoms like bleeding gums, gum recession, and bad breath.

While these symptoms may seem trivial, they can be problematic when severe.

Shi Wenshan’s eyes lit up; with Brother-in-law’s fame, a ’store exploration’ video could surely make the dental practice boom.

He asked excitedly:

"Really? I thought your Maserati endorsement prohibited random ads."

Lin Xu chuckled:

"Your dental practice isn’t a trivial ad, it’s normal advertising need, and it doesn’t overlap Maserati’s business, so it’s doable."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wenshan was thrilled.

Originally wanting to ride Dundun’s fame, he unexpectedly latched onto the man behind the cat.

It’s simply a delightful surprise!

"Thank you so much, Lin Xu. I’ll treat you to a meal...no no, I’ll just give you a big red envelope..."

Lin Xu said:

"No need, no need. We’re relatives, it’s only right to help each other."

Shi Wenshan is straightforward; as his brother-in-law helps him, he should reciprocate. He then suggested:

"How about this? I’ll give all your staff a dental check-up, consider it a small employee benefit, could we do that?"

Dental check-up?

This is indeed quite necessary.

Due to health certificate requirements, physical exams are timely for food industry workers, but dental checkups are usually overlooked. It’s a good idea to schedule staff for dental check-ups post-holiday.

With good teeth, one can taste more delicious food.

Otherwise, they aren’t able to eat hard, hot, or cold food, yet the store often serves tasty snacks, which is quite frustrating to think about.

With this in mind, Lin Xu said:

"Sure, we’ll talk about it later when we’re not busy, see when’s best for check-ups, and I’ll arrange it for the staff."

Just as he finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in his mind:

"Host cares for employees, securing dental check benefits for everyone and completing the hidden task [Employee Benefits], earning a Perfect Level fish dish—Spicy Bean Fish, congratulations to the host."

This prompt surprised Lin Xu.

This was all because Brother-in-law felt bad, wanting to give dental check-ups to the employees. All I did was agree, yet it’s considered my effort?

System, turning this into my merit...isn’t really fair, right?

However, this Spicy Bean Fish reward is nice; Father-in-law just reminded me that Grandma Han likes fish, and now I’m rewarded with such a dish. And I happened to have brought a perch today.

In that case, I’ll go ahead and make it!
