The worker’s tone worried Chen Taitong.
He followed the worker into the store. The worker pointed at the young couple who came in first. Chen Taitong approached them quietly, hoping to find out what was going on. He would definitely punish the worker if he had done something wrong.
The young couple was in their twenties. They looked like they were working adults. Customers that age were the best because they were usually willing and could afford to spend money. They were standing in front of a Chinchilla display cabinet. Another worker was working hard at selling that cat. No one wanted to miss the chance to get double commission today!
Chen Taitong felt that his decision to provide doubled commission might not be as great as he had thought. While the workers were working hard to sell, the customers were getting annoyed. They would definitely leave if the worker continued to push them.
He walked up to the young couple and immediately pushed the worker aside. He smiled and said to the young couple, ”Excuse us! He is only a temporary staff member and doesn’t know much. I am the store owner. Do you have any questions about this Chinchilla?”
The guy murmured, ”A temporary staff member? I don’t think so…”
Chen Taitong pretended he didn’t hear the guy. Honestly, he didn’t really care about his feelings. Normally, when a young couple walks in a store, the girl usually makes the decision and the guy’s only job is to pay.
The girl nodded and said, ”Is this a Chinchilla? She is so cute. The price is reasonable as well.”
Chen Taitong continued to smile. ”Beautiful, you are good! Chinchillas are a good house pet. They are obedient, pretty, and love being with people. Regarding pricing, you came at the best time! We currently have a fall promotion for 50% off everything. You can take her home for 2000 Yuan. Normally, a cat like this would sell for at least 4000.”
Before opening his own store, Chen Taitong had worked in a pet store for two years, so he was familiar with pets and knew what customers liked to hear. He had also seen how business dropped at the pet store he worked at. He knew that if he wanted to stand out in the competition, he had to partner with a corporation like Stars Pet Chain Supermarket.
The girl didn’t agree nor disagree, but asked suspiciously, ”It has to be troublesome to pick up its long hair, right?”
”No! No! No! It is easy. You’ve never had a cat, right? Cats are great at picking up after themselves. It doesn’t matter if it is long-haired or short-haired. Cats lick themselves clean,” Chen Taitong promised.
”Really?” The girl was even more in doubt. ”I don’t know much about cats. Please don’t lie to me – I’ve never had a cat myself, but my friend has one. She told me that taking care of a long-haired cat is much more troublesome than a short-haired one. Even though cats clean their own fur, they won’t lick the floor clean if their hair falls. You wouldn’t lick your dirty clothes, right?”
Chen Taitong laughed. ”Yo, beautiful. Your friend doesn’t know everything. If you are worried that the hair is too long, you can shave it, especially in the summer. It would be cooler for the cat.”
The girl shook her head. ”Well, I have read a lot of bad reviews about your store. I thought the bad reviews might not be true, so I came anyways. Today’s visit is just disappointing.” She dragged at her boyfriend. ”Let’s go.”
”Hey! Don’t leave yet. We also have short hair cats like British shorthair, American shorthair, Exotic shorthair… you name it. Take a look at the shorthair cats before you go!” Chen Taitong tried to stopped them from leaving.
