Wang Qian was responsible for posting, while Li Kun was responsible for following the post and hyping up the atmosphere, but the atmosphere was lively even without them having to hype it up.
There were some spectators in the chat zone that did not know the truth. They posted and asked, ”What’s the situation? I didn’t come to the forum for two days and I’m out of the loop? What’s up with this Amazing Fate Pet Shop?”
Enthusiastic spectators replied, ”Go scroll through the top page of the pet area and you will know.”
These days, various posts and a variety of comments occupied the pet area. Not only were there ones that were opposing Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, but there were also ones that spontaneously shared their experiences of having been tricked and lied to. Even more people lamented how the country would no longer be a country, wondering, ”Where could they buy a high-quality pet in the future?”
In the midst of the clamor, there were also people who mentioned the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, saying that this shop had almost no stains at all. On the other hand, there were also people who rebutted, saying how it seemed the shop manager had changed, that normally when passing by Zhonghua Road, they only saw a young person going in and out and not the middle-aged couple they had seen before.
”Maybe the store was transferred, but the old name was kept. Therefore, even if the shop had no stains before, that does not mean that it’s still pure now.”
Right at this time, the pet area moderator who was always MIA put in a mirror post and highlighted it. It was the post that Wang Qian had posted in the chat zone.
Thus, the spectators of the chat zone and the pet area all surged to Wang Qian’s post at once. There were hundreds of comments in the blink of an eye!
Having fooled around with the forum for so many years, it was Wang Qian’s first time seeing a post of his become so popular. He couldn’t help but rub his palms together. ”Ready to make big news!”
”Come, come, take a photo with me first,” Wang Qian said gleefully.
”F*ck! Should we reveal our faces?” Li Kun asked.
”Nonsense! What if it becomes big?” Wang Qian replied.
Wang Qian stood on the sidewalk. Li Kun took a few steps backward with his phone in his hand and took a picture of Wang Qian with the Amazing Fate Pet Shop in the background.
Wang Qian posted the picture with the caption ”We have already arrived at the entrance of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. There are no parked cars at the door; it seems there are currently no customers.”
People on the bottom replied in succession, ”F*ck! This is the real face of the Bumping King Wang Haige?”
”His face is too big, it covered up everything. I can’t see anything!”
”Do a live broadcast. A written broadcast isn’t satisfying!”
”This shop is very average…”
Wang Qian promptly typed, ”Sorry everyone, we normally only watch live broadcasts instead of being anchormen. We aren’t professionals and can’t even talk successfully in front of the camera. Everyone, please work hard and read the texts.”
It wasn’t that easy to be an anchorman, or it would be easy to make money. It required talent and strength as well as some luck. How to create a topic, how to entertain the audience, how to speak eloquently yet not annoy the audience, and how to cleverly deal with things when the audience was being difficult—these were major attributes.
Wang Qian and Li Kun had no singing or dancing talents, nor did they have a talent for being funny. They loved to play games, but they sucked and were always beaten badly. They talked eloquently when they were texting and chatting on the forum, but when they faced girls or teachers in real life, they became nervous and would stammer. They would definitely make fools of themselves if they were to be anchormen.
The outside of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop was indeed very average. A typical street shop had two residential floors. A blue sign hung on the first floor, the glass on the French window was brightly polished, the entrance was swept clean, and tulle curtains hung on the window of the second floor.
Wang Qian typed, ”Okay, we are about to go in. Gentlemen of the forum, if we still haven’t come out after thirty minutes, remember to call the police.”
”Rest assured, we will call the crematorium. Go at ease.”
”Leave your bank card number and password first!”
”I will take care of your wife and children!”
”F*CK!” Wang Qian gave the middle finger to the last commenter’s ID. Then he gave Li Kun a meaningful glance, and the two entered the pet shop, one behind the other.
Growing up together, Wang Qian and Li Kun’s mode of action had long since become fixed. Usually, Wang Qian decided the general direction to take and took the lead, while Li Kun followed closely behind as a shield and gave suggestions.
This time was not an exception either. Wang Qian entered the pet shop first, and Li Kun followed behind. Unexpectedly, Wang Qian suddenly stopped after taking a few steps into the shop. Li Kun had his head down, posting comments, and he wasn’t paying attention, so he ran into Wang Qian all of a sudden.
”F*ck! How come you stopped walking all of a sudden? What happened to communicating with our eyes?” Li Kun was complaining from behind and had almost dropped his phone because of the crash. His phone was bought recently with the salary he had earned for a whole summer, and he loved it dearly.
Wang Qian acted as if he had seen something really horrifying. He didn’t turn around, only quaveringly saying, ”Brother, pinch… pinch me…”
Usually, Li Kun played the role of a fool during critical moments—had Wang Qian taken the wrong medicine[1] and was now taking his business?
He did not pinch Wang Qian but went around his side, wanting to know what Wang Qian had seen to make him this scared.
He also became dumbfounded after only taking one glance.
There was a deck chair placed in the shop. A person who looked like a shop manager sat on the deck chair. There was a four-legged folding chair next to the young person, and a golden cat sat on it.
Judging from the cat’s figure, it seemed to have just become an adult.
Its aquamarine eyes, like water in autumn, were squinting and had a refreshing demeanor.
There was also a black and white cat on the other side of the shop manager. From the look of its figure, it seemed to be between the phase of an adult and a kitten. It was curious at this time, and stared at the two people who had just walked into the shop with fear and vigilance.
What had astonished Wang Qian and Li Kun the most was that a few kittens that were four or five months old were lined up neatly, sitting on the ground, posed in the same way, and facing the golden cat as if they were guards of honor receiving inspection. Not only that, when the young shop manager raised his left hand, the kittens also raised their left paw; when the shop manager raised his right hand, the kittens also raised their right hand; when the shop manager scratched his head, the kittens also followed, scratching their heads with their paws.
”Oh sh*t!” Li Kun slapped Wang Qian’s shoulder. ”Advanced animal-taming skills! This brother has succeeded in cultivating immortality!”
Both of their families raised cats and dogs at home. When they were younger, after having watched some movies about pets, they decided on a whim to train their Nulla Luctus Felis and Pekingese cats to be as obedient as the pets seen in movies. In the end, of course, they failed.
