403: Disposal of shares

Afu fully understood that he was completing an important task.

Faced with an unfamiliar director, photographer, lighting technician, and various equipment, he showed no sign of fear or anxiety, always staying quietly by Lei Jun's side with a calm gaze.

When he needed to cooperate with the filming, whether it was following instructions to complete basic actions like sitting, lying down, shaking hands, and following, or performing more situational interactions like "finding 'lost' items," "gently accompanying child actors," or "walking calmly through a complex simulated city environment," Afu could accurately grasp the intentions of the staff and Lei Jun's subtle instructions, completing everything in the most natural and outstanding state.

His movements were fluid and full of emotion, his eyes focused at times, requiring almost no NGs.

During filming breaks, he also behaved extremely well, allowing friendly staff members to pet him gently and even proactively rubbing against them to show friendliness, earning the love and praise of the entire production crew.

"So smart! He's even more cooperative than many professionally trained commercial dogs!"

"Not only is he capable, but his personality is also so good; he's truly a treasure of a dog!"

"With an 'ambassador' like Afu, our public welfare campaign's results will definitely be great!"

The director had originally reserved a whole day for filming, but because of Afu's high efficiency and cooperation, all the scheduled shots were successfully completed in less than half a day, and the quality of the footage was extremely high.

The public service commercial and posters were quickly completed and officially released through the official channels of associations and foundations, as well as major partner media platforms.

The commercial didn't deliberately show off skills but instead used warm, simple cinematic language to tell the story of the Chinese Pastoral Dog as a loyal human companion from multiple perspectives. At the end, Lei Jun gently stroked Afu, and a gentle yet firm voiceover advocated: "They are smart and loyal, our friends for thousands of years. Please adopt instead of buying blindly, and cherish this encounter with a lifetime of responsibility. Value every Chinese Pastoral Dog, refuse abandonment, and let love end their wandering."

Afu's wonderful performance and infectious image in the commercial, combined with the perfectly timed public welfare theme, instantly set the internet ablaze once again.

The commercial video's view count soared at an incredible speed, quickly climbing the trending charts of various platforms.

"Afu is so great at filming commercials too! He's truly all-around!"

"My heart feels warm after watching it; well said, if you love them, don't abandon them."

"Support public welfare! Speak up for our local dogs!"

"Afu is not only impressive himself, but he's also seeking benefits for all pastoral dogs; I'm moved!"

"This is the positive energy a star dog should bring!"

Netizens were generous with their praise, sharing, liking, and commenting, causing the popularity of the topic "Rational Care for Chinese Pastoral Dogs" to overlap and transform beneficially with the previous hype driven by curiosity.

Meanwhile, those foreign owners who had already truly acquired a Chinese Pastoral Dog through various channels were also active in this trend.

They enthusiastically created topics on overseas social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, sharing their daily lives with their "Chinese buddies": how the dogs cleverly learned new commands, how they gently accompanied family and children, how they ran happily in the park, and some owners even began to imitate Afu, trying simple games to test their pets' intelligence, only to be surprised to find that they were indeed very smart.

They posted cute photos and videos of their dogs, told the stories of how they met, and expressed how much they cherished their pets.

"I named him 'Xiao Fu,' hoping he'll be as smart and healthy as Afu. He's my best decision!"

"A surprise from the East! My 'Longlong' is super sweet and a new member of my family."

"The adaptability of the Chinese Pastoral Dog is so strong, and they are very good at observing and learning."

"Thank you, Afu, for letting me discover this wonderful breed; they deserve to be loved and respected by the whole world."

These authentic and loving shares were like trickling streams, converging into a vivid window showing the charm of the Chinese Pastoral Dog to the world.

In some international metropolises, small "Chinese Pastoral Dog Enthusiast Gatherings" even emerged, spontaneously organized by these foreign owners, where they exchanged pet-rearing experiences and the dogs socialized happily.

They all expressed that they would treat their furry children well and were willing to introduce this excellent breed to more people, letting them know that the Dragon Country has not only an ancient civilization but also such lovely native animal companions... After staying at school for a few days, Lei Jun returned to Dragon City, the familiar street scenes giving her a long-lost sense of relaxation.

The prosperity of the Shanghai and the clamor of the international arena were temporarily left behind; this was her starting point, although her life trajectory had later far exceeded the scope of this city.

She came back to stay for a few days, handle some trifles, and see old friends.

She remembered that she still had 6.5% of the circulating shares of Tianqiong Technology under her name.

The company's market value was about 380 million, and the shares she held were worth nearly 25 million.

To an ordinary person, this was a huge sum of money, but to the current Lei Jun... these few shares indeed seemed insignificant, even a bit "cluttering."

Holding them required divided attention, so it was better to dispose of them to make her asset structure cleaner.

Without much thought, she contacted Qin Yu directly.

On the phone, her tone was casual: "Qin Yu, are you in Dragon City? I'm back. There's something—don't I still have some shares of your Tianqiong Technology? The 6.5% part. I want to dispose of them. Would it be convenient for your father to help handle it? It can even be lower than the market price, as long as the paperwork is clean."

When Qin Yu on the other end heard this, he was first pleasantly surprised that Lei Jun was back in Dragon City, but then upon hearing this request, his heart skipped a couple of beats.

Sister Lei wants to handle the Tianqiong shares?

He thought quickly: What was Sister Lei's status now? She was a big shot controlling several international commercial empires! It was perfectly normal for her to look down on a "small industry" like Tianqiong. But entrusting this matter to his father was a sign of trust! It was a huge honor!

He immediately patted his chest.

"Sister Lei! Don't worry! Absolutely no problem! My dad will definitely handle it perfectly for you! I'll tell him right away! Whenever you're free, whatever arrangement works for you!"

After hanging up, Qin Yu practically rushed into his father Qin Zhenhua's study. Qin Zhenhua was looking at company reports, and seeing his son's frantic appearance, he frowned: "What is it? Why so impulsive?"

"Dad! Big news! Great news!" Qin Yu took a breath and lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his excitement. "Sister Lei is back! She just called me and said she wants to dispose of the 6.5% circulating shares of our company she holds! She wants you to help handle it!"

Qin Zhenhua's hand holding the report paused, and he suddenly looked up, his eyes becoming sharp.

"Miss Lei Jun? She said it herself?"

"Absolutely certain! Just now!" Qin Yu nodded vigorously.
