It was Sunday morning. Zhang Zian had just finished playing hide-and-seek with Xinghai and was waiting for customers to come. He was laying on his recliner and kept sending WeChat messages. Xinghai continued playing hide-and-seek with the young kittens. Fina was laying on top of the cat tree taking a nap under the sun. Old Time Tea was sitting next to Zhang Zian, curiously watching him play with his cell phone.
Zhang Zian told Sun Xiaomeng what he had learned about the membership system from Xiao Yan and was waiting for her response.
Attacks from the enemies…
He remembered the warning from the man that wanted to buy Fina. He didn’t take it seriously because he thought the guy was just trying to scare him into selling Fina. The warning from Xiao Yan really drew his attention. He only knew that the man was the super moderator of Wang Haige BBS and he wasn’t sure what he did for a living in real life. Nonetheless, he looked like he was pretty well-off. Apparently, he had nothing to do with Xiao Yan. Both of them warned him about attacks from the enemies.
His parents always taught him to keep a clean mind and live a clean life. He had thought it was just another innocuous generality, but now he realized there had to be a deeper meaning to it. When his parents were alive, he didn’t run the daily operation of the store; his never bothered him with any problems from their business. Maybe they also suffered from enemy attacks…he would never be able to find out.
He looked at his store and tried to put himself in the enemy’s shoes to find a weakness.
He had all his required licenses ready.
Drugs and prostitution? Not very possible. Who would do drugs or hire a prostitute in a pet store…?
”My friend, this thing is convenient!” Old Time Tea sighed as he was looking at his cell phone. ”Is this the legendary technique that can transfer sounds from thousands of miles away?”
Guessing from Old Time Tea’s vest, she could be a cat from the Qing Dynasty or the Republican Period of Chinese history. Just like when Fina first came, she showed great interest in modern technology.
”A technique that can transfer sounds from thousands of miles away…well, that sounds right. It is a common thing now. Even children own cell phones these days,” Zhang Zian explained.
Old Time Tea turned her eyes away. There was new construction not far away from the store. The tall and heavy-duty cranes were busy transferring building materials. She was emotional and said, ”This is the best time I have ever seen. Look at all the new skyscrapers! Isn’t this the Great Harmony that I have been longing for?”
”The Great Harmony… we are not that far back! We are in the modern, yet beginning stages of socialism. We are far from achieving a communist society.” Zhang Zian was embarrassed.
Old Time Tea was surprised. ”To me, this is 100 times better than the golden age of the Qing Dynasty. So, there is a world even better than this?”
