Chapter 139 Paw Patrol Makes Great Contributions
In Ma Jie's understanding, Rottweilers, like Staffordshire Bull Terriers, are both guard dogs.
They all possess characteristics such as high loyalty to their masters, strength, agility, willingness to sacrifice, and extreme intelligence.
Bruce showed some resistance to the arrival of his new friend, after all, the small pickup truck bed was practically his private territory.
Now that another dog has suddenly appeared, its range of movement is restricted, and it is also at risk of having its food stolen. So it guards its food bowl tightly and watches Little Cha very warily.
But Cha's personality is different from its own. It's obvious that it was raised normally by humans and has never experienced being a stray in the wild. It just quietly curls up in a corner and doesn't actively provoke it.
"Bro, your dog doesn't seem very friendly."
Franklin looked worriedly out the rear window, fearing the two dogs might fight while the car was moving.
"Putting it back in your stomach is just normal precautions."
Ma Jie drove the car without even turning his head: "Bruce is a stray dog, so it's normal for him to be a little wary. Otherwise, he would have been bullied to death by other dogs long ago. What's the difference between a stray dog without an owner's protection and a wild animal?"
"No wonder." Upon hearing Bruce's background, Franklin clicked his tongue in amazement. "I bet there's something going on between you two."
“That’s right.” Ma Jie didn’t intend to go into details: “Anyway, this little guy is very loyal to me, and I like his indomitable spirit, so I just kept him by my side. In some ways, dogs are more trustworthy than people.”
"Yes, dogs can't be bribed or coerced, which is why I like having dogs."
Xiao Fu nodded in agreement, feeling the car was a bit stuffy, and habitually turned on the car radio, playing his favorite R&B music. "By the way, buddy, are you short on cash lately?"
Ma Jie suddenly remembered that he had tried to ask his boss for an advance on his salary before he left, but was ruthlessly refused, so he wanted to ask him what had happened.
To his question, Funai laughed and said, "Elon Musk's wallet is even tighter."
"Alright." Ma Jieke chose to ignore what he thought was a very humorous joke: "In my memory, you've never seemed to have any money to spare. Since you can't make money at Ximen Auto Dealership, why stay there? Why don't you come and work for me?"
"What?" Faced with this sudden olive branch, Franklin's reaction was quite exaggerated: "You have a car, buddy? I remember you were hanging around in the slums, weren't you?"
"Does running a car dealership have to be considered a business?" Ma Jieke said patiently. "Actually, my main business is garbage recycling. I have about a few dozen people working for me. Every day, we are responsible for cleaning up recyclable items in the poor neighborhood. I have saved up some money and plan to take over a scrap yard and expand this business. This will require the assistance of professionals."
"Um, I'll think about it some more." Fu was completely uninterested in his invitation: "Sorry, Jack, it's not that I look down on this business, but I prefer cars and enjoy working with automobiles."
"I understand, I completely understand." Despite being rejected, the boss still tried to offer a glimmer of hope: "However, car recycling is something we can consider in the future, but I don't have the capability for it yet."
"OK, if that day ever comes, I'm willing to switch jobs and come work for you."
"Alright, it's a deal." The two bumped fists amicably, and Ma Jieke asked with a smile, "But you still haven't told me what you plan to do with your advance salary. Are you helping a friend pay off debts?"
"How could that be?" Franklin replied, "I've only ever had one friend since I was a kid, Rama. He went to a free shopping event the other day and injured an Indian guy. Now he's hiding in North Yankton to escape the cops. You should know that place; it's a traditional black community where all sorts of gunfights and robberies often break out. It's not easy for the police to find a living person there."
"And the reason I need to get an advance on my salary..." Xiao Fu paused consciously when he got to the real reason, and then continued, "Okay, actually it's because my aunt's 45th birthday is in two days. Before I left home this morning, I secretly checked her browsing history on the shopping platform and found that she had looked at a women's watch many times, but that watch is worth $800."
"$800, man. It might not mean much to a rich person, but to a Black woman living on unemployment benefits..."
"Alright, that's enough." Hearing this insignificant amount, Ma Jie said generously, "I can lend you this money, but you'd better really use it to buy a birthday present. If I find out you've used it for something else, I'll complain to Lu Dan that you've sexually harassed me multiple times."
After he finished speaking, Franklin looked like he was in a real bind. "I'm a black guy, harassing an Asian guy who's half a head taller than me? What were you thinking, bro? Even those artists in the San Fernando Valley couldn't come up with this kind of ridiculous plot."
When Xiao Fu received the cash from Ma Jieke, he was so moved he almost cried: "Thanks, bro. I'll definitely pay you back when I get my salary next week."
Unlike China, where salaries are uniformly paid monthly, the United States has various salary payment methods, the most common of which are weekly and bi-weekly salaries. Salaries are received once a month, accounting for only about 10% of all salaries.
The two chatted about all sorts of things along the way. Ma Jie drove mainly in a straight line. In order not to be distracted by the trivial lost items, he simply turned on the filter and only selected the Golden Legend and Prism Loot.
So after driving more than 100 kilometers, we didn't see a single question mark. Luckily, Xiao Fu was perceptive and suggested that he take a break early on.
Ma Jieke readily accepted this, otherwise why bring you out here? Isn't it just to be a laborer?
"Hey, hey, hey, don't turn around randomly." Seeing that he was about to deviate from the route right away, Ma Jieke pointed to the navigation device and said, "As long as you don't encounter a dead end, keep driving in a straight line. When you reach the very edge of the city, which is the location I marked, turn left for 2000 meters, then turn around and come back. Got it?"
"What's the logic behind this?" Clearly, Xiao Fu didn't understand his purpose at all.
"Don't worry about that, I have my own set of secret techniques."
Ma Jie was too lazy to explain to him, and the problem was that it couldn't be explained clearly anyway.
Fortunately, the wealthy man was quite reliable and didn't pry too much, patiently conducting mechanical patrols instead.
Ma Jieke sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, listening to music. He figured he couldn't rush things and would just wait patiently.
About half an hour later, just as he was about to doze off, a flash of colorful light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the map directly in the northeast direction, a large prismatic question mark appears.
It's so satisfying! I knew this trick would work, and I finally got the goods.
I quickly surveyed the terrain and saw a large industrial park under construction on my right.
Strictly speaking, this place can no longer be considered part of the city of Los Angeles, but rather a city called City of Los Angeles County.
The term "industry" can be translated as "industrial city".
In fact, it is a high-tech industrial development zone, which is very common in the urban landscape of China, or high-tech zone for short.
Judging from the map, the prismatic question mark marker was definitely painted on the construction site.
When Xiao Fu drove to the vicinity, security personnel could be seen patrolling at the entrance, with a sign that read "No Trespassing" next to them.
It seems there's no way to access it normally; we'll have to think of another way.
"Jack, what are you doing in this godforsaken place?" Franklin asked, his face full of questions.
Ma Jieke looked at him and said confidently, "Would you believe me if I told you the car we're looking for is here?"
Although I know this is far from certain, it's still a prize from a prism game, and I definitely have to get it back, otherwise how can I sleep at night?
"What? Are you kidding me, bro? How did you come to that conclusion?"
"The conclusion is not important; the result is what matters."
Ma Jie gave him a mysterious smile and told him to park the car in a relatively secluded spot. The two of them jumped out of the car together.
Bruce and Chapman jumped out of the truck bed one after another and ran happily back and forth in the field.
After this back-and-forth struggle, it clearly relaxed its guard against Cha and began to make some physical contact.
Upon seeing the two dogs, Ma Jieke immediately had an idea.
A short while later, a truck loaded with construction supplies drove up. The driver was swaying his head and listening to an upbeat tune when he suddenly saw a dog squatting on the road directly in front of him.
Startled, he quickly honked the horn to warn the dog, but it acted as if it hadn't heard him and remained squatting there motionless.
Seeing this, the truck driver had no choice but to step on the brakes and reluctantly open the door to get out.
"Where did this stray dog come from? Get the hell out of here!"
This guy seemed pretty tough; he bent down, picked up a small rock from the ground, and threw it at Bruce from several meters away.
But the latter merely dodged nimbly for a moment, then lay down on the ground as if no one else was there, showing no fear of the human in front of it.
"You want to die, huh?" the driver threatened, picking up an even bigger rock and smashing it down on the animal's head with all his might.
Just kidding, this isn't in the city, it's in the suburbs. Killing a stray dog on the roadside is no big deal, and it probably won't alarm those dog lovers.
Bruce didn't dare play with fire this time, and ran a few steps ahead to avoid getting hit.
At the same time, Xiao Cha suddenly rushed out of the bushes, jumped into the not-quite-closed cab of the truck, grabbed an item, and ran away.
The driver was stunned when he heard the noise. Were those two dogs setting a trap for me?
The worst part was that it seemed to be his driver's license that was stolen, which infuriated him so much that he took off after it.
Soon, two more figures emerged from the bushes and entered the driver's seat.
"Hurry up, buddy, it's time to test your skills."
Before Ma Jieke could finish speaking, he heard the car engine start. It turned out that this guy hadn't even taken the key out of the ignition.
By the time the truck driver realized what was happening, all that was left on the road was a cloud of dust.
No, where is my car?
