Long Xian had heard about Zhang Zian from Sun Xiaomeng before — that his pet shop and Sister Xiaomeng’s pet clinic would work together. She also heard something about Zhang Zian from Wang Qian and Li Kun who were working at the clinic. Curiously, when describing Zhang Zian, Sun Xiaomeng’s narrative was completely different from that of Wang Qian and Li Kun.
In Sun Xiaomeng’s narrative, Zhang Zian liked hoodwinking others, was stingy and unreliable, but also had excellent tricks in cat training. From Wang Qian and Li Kun’s perspectives, who both raced to answer her questions, Zhang Zian was a rare and unique master hiding in this world, opening a pet shop to keep a low-profile...
Long Xian, of course, tended to believe Sun Xiaomeng’s words. Though Sun Xiaomeng was not much older than her, Sun Xiaomeng looked mature and prudent, and was a reliable senior sister. However, when she took Wang Qian and Li Kun's advice and searched on the internet, she really found the popular video where Zhang Zian was confronting with seven gangsters in a late night. So, she was at quite a loss, getting increasingly more curious about this person.
When Sun Xiaomeng introduced that the person in front of her was Zhang Zian, Long Xian felt a bit disappointed. After all, he looked just like an ordinary guy. Maybe it was because she had unrealistically high expectations of him.
Zhang Zian defended himself several times, trying to leave a good impression on the new nurse, but his intention seemed to have failed. Probably before he arrived, Wang Qian, Li Kun and Sun Xiaomeng had already told a lot of strange things about him to this new nurse.
”Where is the customer who want to buy pets?” he asked helplessly.
”Inside.” Sun Xiaomeng pursed her lips, ”You can go hoodwinking him, just leave me out of it.”
”What? How is that hoodwinking...” Zhang Zian looked at Long Xian and smiled embarrassingly, trying to clarify the facts.
Just then, his cellphone rang again.
Hm? What’s going on today? Usually no one but the mailman would call him, but he had received two phone calls just this morning...
The caller ID belonged to Guo Dongyue.
”Hello?” He answered the phone.
”I’ll bring the construction team over later.” said Guo Dongyue on the phone. ”Are you in the shop?”
”I...” just when Zhang Zian wanted to answer ”yes”, he immediately realized he was not there.
”I'm in a pet clinic up north,” he changed his answer. ”When will you arrive at my shop?”
”Ten minutes or so.” Before replying, Guo Dongyue went into silence for a few seconds, estimating the speed of his vehicle and the mileage through the navigator.
”So soon?” Zhang Zian faced a dilemma.
Guo Dongyue heard his hesitation from his tone, ”I can come another day if it’s inconvenient for you.”
”No, no, no inconvenience.” Zhang Zian thought he must not change the day, who knew when the construction team would be available again? The construction workers were paid on a daily basis. If his project was postponed, they would not just wait there and did nothing, certainly they would find other jobs, and it was hard to tell when they could finish with other projects.
”Okay, we'll be there soon,” said Guo Dongyue, ”Have someone open door for us.”
”Sure, bye.” Zhang Zian confirmed Guo Dongyue was not talking, and hung up the phone.
