Chapter 83: Unbelievable

When Zhou Yu took Huzi to the food stall, Wang Fugui was already waiting there. Wang Fugui had learned about the foreigner wanting Huzi to film a commercial, and he said with great excitement, “Brother Universe, I never thought Huzi would become famous even abroad. Haha.”

“You deserve some credit for this too.” Zhou Yu smiled and patted his shoulder. If it weren’t for Wang Fugui bringing Huzi to surf every day, the project probably wouldn’t have been so interesting.

After all, a dog surfing alone seemed a bit monotonous. But with Wang Fugui competing beside him, it became very attractive.

At that moment, Andrew, who was sitting outside the food stall, saw Zhou Yu and Huzi. A look of delight appeared on his face as he walked over. “Is this the Divine Dog? He looks even more impressive than in the videos.”

“Mr. Andrew, he looks even more impressive when he surfs.” Zhou Yu smiled and patted Huzi’s head. The videos sometimes weren’t very clear. Moreover, Huzi ate the Spirit Beast Pill every day. With the nutrition from the Wind Eagle Meat in the future, he would definitely become even more impressive.

“Good, good. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Zhou, can he surf now?” Andrew asked with eager anticipation. After their earlier conversations, he completely regarded this young man, who was twenty years younger than him, as an equal.

Zhou Yu nodded gently. “Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let’s go to the beach now to watch his performance.”

“Haha, that’s wonderful!” Andrew laughed excitedly.

“We’ve waited so long. I hope this dog doesn’t mess up.” Director Wang, who was standing nearby, said with clear resentment.

Zhou Yu ignored him. He called Wang Fugui to join them and, leading the way with Huzi, headed toward the beach.

By this time, quite a few people had already gathered on the beach. When they saw Huzi coming, they let out waves of cheers.

In the past, most people came to the beach just to relax. But now, many of them came specifically to watch the Divine Dog surf.

Seeing a foreigner following behind Huzi, some people couldn’t help but ask about him. When they learned that this foreigner wanted Huzi to be a brand ambassador, their cheers grew even louder.

Even people from the United States were coming to advertise with their Chinese Pastoral Dog. This was simply a matter of pride.

As for Director Wang, seeing so many people cheering at Huzi’s arrival, he tightly shut his mouth. He felt that if these people knew about his earlier doubts about Huzi, they could drown him with their spit.

When they reached the seaside, Wang Fugui and Huzi got on the surfboard and slowly paddled out into the sea. Zhou Yu, Andrew, and the others waited on the beach.

A staff member beside Andrew had already set up a high-definition camera, seemingly ready to film Huzi surfing.

A short while later, some people using telescopes spotted Huzi and Wang Fugui surfing toward them and shouted loudly, “Haha, they’re coming! Huzi is still in the lead!”

Andrew quickly picked up his telescope and started watching. Director Wang beside him did the same. He had never seen a video of the Divine Dog surfing. If this foreigner hadn’t contacted him, he wouldn’t even have known about it.

In the telescope, Huzi stood steadily on the surfboard, constantly adjusting his direction as he rode toward a bigger wave nearby. Then, using the wave’s power, he soared into the air, completing a jump.

His relaxed and comfortable demeanor radiated absolute confidence. Not far behind him, Wang Fugui struggled to control his surfboard, trying to surpass Huzi. From the start of the Divine Dog Surfing project until now, in his duels with Huzi, Wang Fugui had lost more often than he had won.

However, Huzi didn’t give him a chance this time. Because he had received Zhou Yu’s command to put on a good show, he naturally gave it his all.

As they neared the shore, Huzi stood on the surfboard, riding the waves, which made the crowd on the beach cheer once more.

“Amazing! Truly amazing! Unbelievable! This Divine Dog is even better than in the videos!” Andrew put down his telescope and exclaimed with astonishment.

As for Director Wang beside him, he was completely dumbfounded. Was this really just a common dog?

“Mr. Andrew, what did you think of the Divine Dog’s surfing performance?” Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

“Incredible. I’ve watched many Pet Dog Surfing Competitions in the United States, but not a single dog could compare to this Divine Dog. He was simply born to surf.” Andrew said excitedly, immediately giving a thumbs-up.

In the following hours, Andrew showed no intention of leaving. He watched until Huzi’s surfing performance was over. Looking at Huzi walking onto the beach, his face was full of excitement. “Divine Dog, I must have you endorse our brand. I must!”

It was easy to imagine: if Huzi endorsed their brand, starring in a more professional, more magical surfing commercial short film, combined with their company’s marketing strategy, it would truly be a sensation.

After the surfing session, Zhou Yu brought Andrew back to the food stall. Two people sitting outside greeted Zhou Yu. “Xiao Yu, finished surfing? Boss Li told us a foreigner wants Huzi to endorse surfboards. That’s really amazing. Truly worthy of being the Divine Dog.”

“Hey, Brother Chao, don’t just talk about Huzi. I deserve some credit too!” Wang Fugui chimed in, not wanting to be left out.

“Haha, right, and Dog Boy too!” Li Jianchao laughed heartily. After eating Zhou Yu’s Grapes back then, they started coming here from time to time. Especially recently, since Li Guomin’s cooking had gotten so tasty, they came almost every day.

Director Wang, standing behind, saw the person talking to Zhou Yu. His face changed dramatically. He really wanted to go up and greet him, but after a glance at the people around him, he forcefully held back the urge.

He never expected Zhou Yu to have a connection with Li Jianchao. This man was a powerful division chief in the city’s administration office. The person sitting next to him was also a leader from a city bureau.

At that moment, he felt a bit frantic inside. Why was Taoyuan Village so strange? There was a Divine Dog that could surf, this food stall next door, and Zhou Yu himself—all shrouded in mystery.

“Brother Chao, can you stop calling me Dog Boy? My name is Wang Fugui.” Wang Fugui said helplessly, his tone full of complaint.

Then Village Chief Yao walked over. “Alright, enough joking. Let’s find a place to sit down and have dinner. Director Wang, after you.”

“Ahem, Village Chief Yao, you’re too kind. Mr. Andrew, Brother Zhou, please go first.” Director Wang coughed and let Andrew and Zhou Yu enter first.

Judging by the situation, it seemed Zhou Yu and Village Chief Yao didn’t know Li Jianchao’s true status. Of course, it was also possible they were just very familiar.

Hearing the words “Director Wang,” Li Jianchao looked up. A faint smile appeared on his face, but he took no further action.

A look of surprise crossed Zhou Yu’s face. He thought for a moment, seeming to realize something, then smiled and walked in with Andrew. They found a seat and sat down. He had noticed earlier that Li Jianchao and his friends seemed different from ordinary people. It seemed his guess was right.

During the meal, Andrew discussed the endorsement partnership with Zhou Yu. He said he would send the filmed video to the company headquarters tonight, and they could start discussing the specific details of the endorsement cooperation tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Andrew, Zhou Yu returned to the Old Family House with Huzi. As soon as he entered, he thought he heard the cries of Dabao and Xiaobao. Huzi seemed to sense something too and suddenly dashed into the courtyard.

Zhou Yu’s face tightened slightly. Had something entered the house again? He closed the door and hurried into the courtyard. There were too many valuable things in this old house.
