304 Vlogger (2/2)

”Well...” Zhang Zian would like to answer that recording videos were also prohibited in his shop, just like in the Dragon and Phoenix Jewelry Shop, but out of what reason? It made sense that Dragon and Phoenix Jewelry Shop didn’t allow filming for fear that its competitors might plagiarize its jewelry designs, but why would a pet shop prohibit its customers from taking pictures of or filming at the pets?

Seeing that Zhang Zian was undecided, Zhao Qi was afraid that they might have unpleasantries, and she quickly explained to Zhang Zian, ”Don’t misunderstand him, he did not mean anything else, he is a blogger, holding the camera to shoot is what happens in his daily life.”

”What? Blogger?” Zhang Zian was surprised for a moment, ”Like the bloggers on Weibo?”

He seldom checked in his Weibo account, but he knew that Weibo was a platform for picture sharing, and even videos. They were short videos that only lasted for ten seconds or so. But Song Bai seemed to have been filming since he entered the pet shop. And what the hell did ”shooting one’s daily life” mean?

”No,” Zhao Qi waved her hand, ”He doesn’t use Weibo, that stuff is out of date. He is a vlogger.”

Zhang Zian didn’t understand what ”vlogger” meant either, he just got more confused.

Zhao Qi asked, ”Have you not heard of vlogging?”

”No,” Zhang Zian answered honestly.

Zhao Qi instantly felt it was too bothered for her to explain, but ultimately, she tried to be patient, ”Well, I guess I have to start from the very beginning...vlogging is a very popular video blogging format in foreign countries, especially in the United States in recent years. Instead of writing down their daily lives with words, people record videos as blogging. People who like this type of blogging are known as vloggers, and Song Bai is one of them.”

Song Bai nodded, agreeing to what she said.

”Very popular?” Zhang Zian was very good at capturing such key words.

”That's right,” said Zhao Qi.

”But I have never heard of it. Is it really that popular?” Zhang Zian doubted it.

Zhao Qi further explained, ”It is very popular abroad, but only few people are vloggers in our country. I didn’t learn about it until I met Song Bai—I felt strange seeing him hold a camera to film at any time, on his way to work, on unch break, or on his way home. So I asked him about it.”

”Oh, now it makes sense.” Zhang Zian nodded in relief. Turned out it was popular abroad, no wonder he had never heard of it.

Zhao Qi looked at him as he was a primitive man, ”I think you really need to find a proper job. You are completely out of touch with the trends.”

”Wait a second!” Zhang Zian was displeased, ”I don’t believe many people in China know what the so-called ‘vlogger’ is about. Besides, you didn’t know that before either, so you are in no position to judge me!”

Song Bai coughed again to interrupt their conversation, ”Can I shoot the pets or not?”

Zhang Zian pondered for a moment. He wouldn’t suffer any material loss from the video shooting, and he said in a very generous manner, ”Here are the rules of this pet shop. Customers can shoot videos only if they buy pets. No purchasing, no shooting.”

Zhao Qi couldn’t help but complained, ”How pragmatic! How come I have never heard of such rules?”

”Because these are the rules I just set out,” Zhang Zian stared at her in a defiant manner, ”This is my shop. I am the boss. You have a problem with that?”

Zhao Qi knew that Zhang Zian was obsessed with money, but she couldn’t embarrass herself in front of her colleagues, or else she might be looked down upon by them. Just when she was about to argue with Zhang Zian, Song Bai waved his hand and said, ”It’s okay, I promise I will buy pets. Do I have your permission now?”

Zhang Zian had been waiting for this sentence, and his anger was swept away by sheer joy, ”Customers are always right. Shoot anywhere you want!”
