Chapter 2: Fifty Grams of Beast Feed a Day, You Can't Blame the Pet for Being Too Fierce

"Dr. Bai, look at it—the grip in its limbs, the hollow abdomen, its saliva, and its expression. Look at its eyes; it's definitely starving. Believe me, I'll go in voluntarily. If I misjudge and die, I deserve it, and I absolutely won't cause any trouble for you all."

In order to make Dr. Bai believe her, Song Tiantian directly recited many signs of a pet beast's hunger.

This was knowledge about pet beasts she had cram-studied upon her arrival.

"Little girl, do you have a death wish?!"

"That's a Snowfield Lion, and a mature one at that! You'll lose your life the moment you get close."

"Little girl, you're so young, it would be such a waste if you died."

The people nearby tried their best to dissuade Song Tiantian. Song Tiantian was very sweet-looking and appeared quite cute, with bright, watery eyes that twinkled like stars; no one could bear to see her die.

Even the assistant beside Dr. Bai felt a pang of pity.

Dr. Bai's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest. He merely glanced at Song Tiantian and nodded to her. "Fine!"

Dr. Bai's voice was very cold, devoid of any emotion.

Song Tiantian, however, was extremely happy.

She didn't care at all about the coldness in Dr. Bai's tone, nor did she mind his indifferent expression.

She immediately grabbed a large bag of pet beast food, intending to rush in. After thinking for a moment, she felt it wasn't enough, so she hauled in two more bags, opened them all, and charged in.

The onlookers couldn't bear to watch the scene, because they saw the Snowfield Lion not slowing down at all, charging straight toward Song Tiantian.

Bai Jing, the assistant beside Dr. Bai, couldn't help but glance at him. She wanted Dr. Bai to give the order to have the security guards fire their tranquilizer guns.

But Dr. Bai remained motionless, watching Song Tiantian with an incredibly serious expression.

Bai Jing did not have the authority to give orders, nor did she dare to speak up to dissuade Dr. Bai. She could only sigh inwardly, offering a silent prayer for Song Tiantian.

What a pity for this girl, she was so young.

Too impulsive.

She knew the value of this Snowfield Lion, and it had even been personally raised by Dr. Bai. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Dr. Bai wouldn't give such an order.

Bai Jing closed her eyes; she didn't want to witness such a tragic scene.

However, after a long time, she still didn't hear any screams, so she finally opened her eyes.

She saw a miraculous sight.

Song Tiantian was actually completely unharmed.

The Snowfield Lion's eyes had turned black, shimmering with a hint of moist luster. No matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem to be in a frenzy; instead, it was currently burying its head in the beast food, eating as if it hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes.

Furthermore, she saw that Dr. Bai had already walked to Song Tiantian's side, and she immediately walked over as well.

"Dr. Bai, look, this lion is just driven mad by hunger. Look, when we humans are starving, we'll do anything. I used to raise stray cats and dogs often, so I have some experience."

As Song Tiantian spoke, she reached out and stroked the fur on the Snowfield Lion's neck.

The Snowfield Lion didn't resist at all. Song Tiantian even poked it a few times, and nothing happened.

The reason Song Tiantian dared to be so bold was that she could understand the Snowfield Lion's inner thoughts; the lion was grateful to her for saving it, and its favorability toward her had increased greatly.

A young boy nearby, perhaps an intern who had just graduated, saw Song Tiantian poking the Snowfield Lion and reached out his hand, wanting to pet it as well.

As a result, the Snowfield Lion turned its head and glared at him, scaring him so much that he fell onto his buttocks on the ground.

Song Tiantian said to him, "Go get a basin of water. Since it's eating so much beast food, it'll definitely be thirsty. If it drinks the water, it will definitely remember your merit in getting the water and will surely let you pet it."

"Really?"

The boy immediately stood up and ran out quickly.

Not long after, he brought back a basin of water and placed it beside the Snowfield Lion.

The Snowfield Lion happened to be a bit choked, as the beast food was quite dry, so it began lapping up the water with large gulps of its tongue.

The boy cautiously approached the Snowfield Lion, and the lion truly did not resist.

He reached out again to stroke the fur on the Snowfield Lion's back, and the lion merely kept its head down, drinking water and eating, seemingly showing no reaction at all.

He was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

"It's true! It really let me pet it!"

"How much do you guys feed the Snowfield Lion a day! Look at how starving it is!" Song Tiantian asked the boy, seeing that he had a rather gentle face.

"I follow Dr. Bai's instructions strictly! I feed the Snowfield Lion exactly fifty grams of beast food every day!" The boy said, holding his head high with pride. He used a scale every time, not a gram more, not a gram less.

Song Tiantian's first instinct was to curse, but she glanced at Dr. Bai, who was pushing up his glasses, and swallowed her words.

People get very busy when they are embarrassed.

Song Tiantian swallowed the words she wanted to say and spoke to Dr. Bai and the boy in a slightly calmer tone.

"Fifty grams a day? A ferocious beast this large only gets fifty grams of food a day? Even a pet kitten eats more than that! I used to raise pet cats and dogs; once they are full, they stop eating. I've never heard of a cat or dog dying from overeating.

I think pet beasts are more advanced, so they should be smarter and shouldn't die from overeating either. Perhaps this happens during the juvenile stage when they are just born, but now, it's already grown this large.

It still needs to evolve, so it needs even more energy. Think about it, if someone didn't feed you every day, you would definitely fight desperately too."

"Roar, roar!" The Snowfield Lion, currently busy eating, also added a grievance-filled roar, as someone finally understood its suffering.

"I don't. I drink nutritional supplements every day!" Dr. Bai said to Song Tiantian, pushing up his glasses.

Uh!

Song Tiantian gave a dry laugh. "Dr. Bai, you really know how to tell jokes! But look, don't I seem very suitable for the work here? Am I a good fit for the Qingshan Pet Beast Center? Look, how well-behaved the Snowfield Lion is now. As long as its future owner doesn't starve it again, it will definitely be very willing to form a contract with its new master.

My requirements aren't high: five insurances and one housing fund, free food and lodging, and a monthly salary as high as everyone else's."

She had put in so much effort; she couldn't settle for an unpaid internship. She had to get a permanent position.

This Dr. Bai must have quite a background to be a doctor; otherwise, he wouldn't have managed to starve a pet beast to the point of madness.

If she were the boss, she would have fired Dr. Bai first.

Therefore, Song Tiantian did not continue the topic of pet beast food.

Otherwise, she would definitely incur a lot of hostility from Dr. Bai.

Although the high-level management of the Pet Beast Center didn't want to let go of such an excellent talent, Song Tiantian didn't want to make enemies right upon arrival.

"Start work tomorrow! A monthly salary of fifty thousand. From now on, you will be my assistant. If your performance is outstanding, I will give you bonuses. Since your performance this time was good, I will have the finance department give you a hundred thousand yuan bonus."

Fifty thousand a month! And a hundred thousand bonus?

Song Tiantian was so happy she almost jumped for joy. She hadn't expected that although this Dr. Bai looked young and had a cold expression, he was actually a warm-hearted person at his core.

He didn't act petty and feel like she had slapped his face; instead, he gave her so much money.

She was truly too bad for even doubting that Dr. Bai wasn't a good person.

"Dr. Bai, you are truly a good person!"

"Dr. Bai, don't go! Let the young lady beside you help me out for a bit. My legs are a little numb, I'm having a cramp, and I can't walk."

This money was too much; it was too much happiness!
