Song Bai was not at all agitated because of Zhang Zian's obsession with money—he was indeed planning to buy a cat. And if he could also shoot some interesting things in the pet shop, his trip today would have been worth it.

Compared to the network anchoring industry that had made numerous camgirls popular, vloggers were painstakingly keeping their business running. Few people knew about what vloggers did, and what’s worse, vlogging simply couldn’t make money, and their enthusiasm was fading away gradually. Fortunately, as a vlogger, Song Bai didn’t need to worry much. Firstly, he had a stable job so that he didn’t need to solely rely on the incomes brought by vlogging; secondly, he targeted his vlog at the audience abroad, where there was still a possibility of making money—with the premise that his posts became suddenly popular.

Rather than live streaming, vlog was a form of sharing recorded videos. Compared with network anchors, vloggers were less interactive with their viewers. It’s impossible for them to perform a program or show their talents after their viewers tipped them generously; besides, their videos required additional post-editing. As implied by its name, a vlog is a video diary or blog. It had gained popularity abroad but didn’t appeal to the public in China yet—where the vloggers spent much more energy than network anchors, yet only earned insignificantly small money compared to the anchors; and only vloggers who had kept their passion had been insisting on recording videos. The situation was much better in foreign countries, where even though vloggers might not earn more than network anchors, at least they had roughly equal shares in the market.

Song Bai had been vlogging since after he graduated from university, but he hadn’t gained much popularity as of now. For every vlog posted on YouTube, on average he only attracted tens to hundreds of views. At present, he had just graduated from university, had a stable job, his family was quite wealthy, he had no girlfriend, and he didn’t intend to find one for the time being. The main reason he had been insisting on his passion of vlogging was seizing the day while he can.

The reason he suddenly wanted to buy a cat was that he had found his life too monotonous. Vlog was a video diary, and vlog viewers were attracted by someone else's interesting life—if the viewers already had simple and repeated life, why would they bother to watch his monotonous life? Of course, some psychologists had analyzed the reason why vlog was so popular, partly because people were interested in spying on others' private life.

When he revealed his idea of ​​buying a pet in his Friends’ Moment in WeChat, Zhao Qi immediately left him a message, recommending a pet shop to him and said that the cats in the pet shop can perform stunts.

Song Bai was not particularly familiar with Zhao Qi, for they were in completely different social circles, and they knew each other just because they were colleagues, and occasionally had some brief conversations because she was curious about vlog, so he was quite surprised to hear from her.

Initially he suspected Zhao Qi was a fake customer commissioned by pet shops to persuading him into buying pets, but after inquiry in their company, he cleared his doubt. Everyone knew that Zhao Qi had completely become a cat enthusiast, which he had confirmed after having personal contact with Zhao Qi, who just kept bragging about her British Shorthair, Lan Lan, and how nice and well-behaved Lan Lan was. And she also strongly suggested that he should also buy a British Shorthair, as if it would be a big loss in his life if he didn’t get one...

Finally, she summed up with one sentence— ”There are three forms of unfilial conducts, of which the worst is to have no cats.”

Song Bai was speechless about her words. He thought, if Zhao Qi could transfer her enthusiasm and talent in persuading people to have cats to her sales work, she would have been the annual sales champion in their company…

In a word, Zhao Qi was the one that had persuaded him to visit this pet shop. It was not an exaggeration to state that she was pulling and dragging him over, with her determination to turn more people in the company into cat enthusiasts, which could be regarded as her revenge to her ”former” bestie, who was a dog lover.

Besides, Song Bai was also very interested in stunt-performing cats, especially if the cats in this pet shop could perform stunts collectively. He wondered: if he could record such scenes where cats were doing stunts together, would his vlogs attract more views?

Since entering the pet shop, the camera in his hand had been aiming at the kittens chasing each other. He only felt that these kittens were very lively and lovely, and there was nothing special about them.

Zhang Zian said warmly, ”You want to buy a cat, correct? Which kind? Do you have any preference? Or should I recommend some to you?”

Zhao Qi chimed in, ”Hey! When I used to buy a cat here, I don’t remember you being so hospitable!”

Zhang Zian replied confidently, ”Because at that time I was not sure whether you would buy it or not. You seemed to be a very picky customer, so why should I spend extra time on you?”

Zhao Qi thought what he said was true, but she also had the impulses to punch him!
