After hearing Deng Jie's statement, Snowy thought of an idea. She should go to the notorious dog market to host a live broadcast, revealing the dark corners there to numerous audience members, with the faint hope that she could help Deng Jie seek compensation. However, Snowy was also aware that it was fruitless if she went there all by herself, because she would probably be swindled too. She must go there with someone who had insight into the pet industry. And the only expert she was familiar with was Zhang Zian.
In fact, she and Zhang Zian had co-hosted a live broadcast before. Their encounter in the Hidden Fog Mountain Tea House could be considered an unofficial cooperation, so Snowy was confident that he would agree to her proposal this time.
The audience of Snowy's live broadcast was also very interested in this topic. Many people had been defrauded in the dog market, yet seldom were people able to see through the tricks at the scene. If there was ever a live broadcast in the dog market, the audience would have the chance to understand how their schemes worked. Their only concern was that this perverted store manager was going to accompany Snowy, but considering that Zhang Zian might be homosexual in sexual orientation, the audience didn't really object the cooperation proposal anymore…
Zhang Zian was thrown into contemplation. He still couldn't make up his mind.
Since his shop had finished refurbishing, his priority should lie in reopening the shop to make money. To his greater concern-stopping someone from making money was unforgivable as murdering his parents! To this day, everyone was minding their own business without interfering with each other-Zhang Zian was conducting his decent business, while the unscrupulous peddlers were engaging in all kinds of frauds. If he had to meddle with their businesses and turned their means of livelihood unviable, he was afraid that they would take desperate measures against him if they were pushed to the wall…
Among the numerous pet shops in Binhai City, there were plenty of pet experts who were way more experienced than Zhang Zian was, so how come no one ever bothered to interfere with the chaotic phenomena in the dog market? Because they knew better than to cause themselves troubles!
As a man, he didn't care much about those dog peddlers. No matter how tough and difficult they might be, they would not be as intimidating as the Rainbow Fighters or Qing Ren. Besides, Old Time Tea was here, so if the dog peddlers ever dared to avenge him, it would beat their asses. However, Snowy was a girl who was always hosting live broadcasts in different places by herself, and Zhang Zian worried that she might be the target of those who held grudges.
Seeing that Zhang Zian was silent, Snowy thought he was concerned about his potential monetary loss, so she said, ”Oh, right, Mr. Store Manager should not do this for free. Snowy will pay for your commission!”
[Wings of Magical Eagle] tipped two hairy crabs and commented, ”Here, donations. Snowy shouldn't pay for us if we want to watch the live broadcast.”
[Sky is Like Water] tipped one hairy crab and commented, ”The dog market is very dirty, here's the money for Snowy's laundry.”
[Heaven 365] tipped three pieces of ham-and-nut mooncakes and commented, ”Tight budget recently, just showing my support.”
[Lonely Illustrator] tipped one piece of ham-and-nut mooncake and commented, ”Fight, Snowy!”
...
A lot of hairy crabs and ham-and-nut mooncakes were floating on the screen, but many die-hard fans of Snowy had noticed that usually the most active and generous audience member, [Binhai Native], wasn't doing anything right now.
”Where is the legendary-Tuhao [Binhai Native] who likes disseminating money?”
”Don't know,he's probably offline right now.”
”No way. I don't think he's ever missed any live broadcast…”
”It happens. He might have run into something urgent.”
...
After contemplating for a while, Zhang Zian figured he might be overthinking this. As long as he paid attention not to provoke the peddlers outright during the live broadcast, everything should be fine.
He nodded, ”Okay, I agree. But I haven't decided on the time yet. And we must keep a low-profile when we go there, all right?”
Snowy answered joyfully, ”Great, I'm going to inform the auntie about this.”
Deng Jie was absentmindedly looking at the puppies in the display cases and was struck by sadness. If only she didn't make that wrong decision, one of these puppies would have been hers…
”Aunt Deng!” Snowy addressed her from behind.
Deng Jie was brought back to reality and turned around, ”Yes? What's going on?”
”Here's the thing. Aunt Deng, after discussing with the store manager, to prevent people from falling into the traps, we are going to pay a visit to the dog market, are you interested in joining us? You can point out to us which stand you bought the sick puppy from.” Snowy inquired her opinion.
”Well…this is…” Deng Jie was rather surprised. Learning that they were whispering about her incident, she felt warm and couldn't mutter a word. When she entered this shop, she just wanted to vent out her regret and figure out the true breed of her puppy; she had never expected that Zhang Zian would plan a visit to the dog market for her.
”I'm so sorry for troubling you…” she repented on her own error.
