For Chinese people who wanted to visit the United States, there was one obstacle facing them—a visa. Especially for an unemployed person like Zhang Zian, the visa officer had every reason to doubt that he was going to overstay in the United States illegally and would not return to his home country again. Of course, Zhang Zian would not admit that he was unemployed, he would say that he was an individual business owner as certified by the country and an honored taxpayer, and a...
Zhang Zian and Richard went to discuss on the second floor for a while, and then came back downstairs to confess to the difficulties he was encountering with Lauren and Tim. He could apply for the visa, but it was not up to him whether or not it would be approved.
It was the first time that the Kellers had heard about such a situation, for it was relatively easy for Americans to apply for visas to China.
Lauren put forward a suggestion, ”Jeff, how about this. On behalf of 'Blue Climax', let us invite you to participate in the CFA tournament on the United States?”
Zhang Zian gave it a thought and nodded admirably. Richard cooperated with him and said, ”This sounds like a good idea!”
That's the way it was. It was difficult for Chinese people who applied for the visas to America personally, but if they held the letters of invitations issued by the organizations from the United States, things would be much easier.
However, to make this work, a prerequisite must be met. Zhang Zian's Amazing Fate Pet Shop must join the CFA first before the Blue Climax couldissue an invitation to him to attend the tournament.
It was very easy to join the CFA, for it only cost dozens of dollars.
Whether he should really participate in the CFA tournament when he arrived in the United States... He hadn't decided yet, but if the schedule allowed, it might be an eye-opening experience if he attended the competition.
After they had finished the negotiation, Tim went outside to call Allen, asking him to write a letter of invitation to compete on behalf of Blue Climax as soon as possible and faxed it to him. On the other side of the phone, Allen was really confused, and Tim had to instruct him step by step. Hence, the pedestrians walking by on the snowy day couldsee that a muscular foreign man was shouting to his cell phone in front of the entrance of the pet shop...
Lauren smiled apologetically towards Zhang Zian, indicating that her husband was a short-tempered person. Looking at the chasing kittens in the pet shop, she suddenly spoke up, ”Right, Jeff, why don't you have that kind of cat in the videos? What is it called again? Dragon Li, right? Are they sold out?”
Zhang Zian could understand ”Dragon Li”, and according to Lauren's expression and tone, he had figured out what she meant, and he nodded.
”Yes, Lauren, you are right, they have been sold out. Dragon Li is a very popular breed in our shop, just as popular as the Ragdoll kittens.” said Richard.
Lauren sighed regretfully, ”What a pity...”
”What's up, Lauren? If you need any help, feel free to tell me.” asked Richard.
”I've heard about the history between CFA and Dragon Li, and I feel it's really pitiful. As you know, our cattery mainly breeds Ragdoll kittens, but recently my husband and I have found that we seem to have entered a period of stagnation, and it's hard to further promote their conditions since we strictly forbid inbreeding the Ragdoll kittens, so we are planning to expand the breeds of cats. Previously, we intended to raise Norwegian Forest Cats, but after watching the videos, we are also interested in Dragon Li,” explained Lauren.
Hearing that she mentioned Dragon Li frequently, Zhang Zian understood that Song Bai’s vlog probably influenced them. He signaled towards Richard, implying that he was about to grant their requests.
”No worries, since we are partners now, I am more than happy to offer you my help. I will see to the matters of Dragon Li,” said Richard.
Just when Lauren was about to extend her gratitude, two men walked in the pet shop.
Noticing Tim, who was talking to his phone, Wang Qian and Li Kun ran over to Zhang Zian and whispered suspiciously, ”Master, what's the matter with these two foreigners? Are the cultivators in America finally attacking you?”
Ignoring their stupid comments, Zhang Zian asked, ”How is your English?”
”Well...I barely passed CET-4, which enabled me to shout out simple support like 'you rock' in English if you're engaged in fighting...” said Wang Qian honestly.
”These two foreigners are a couple. The husband is called Tim, and the wife is called Lauren. They don't understand Chinese, so you guys need to take them to check in on the hotel, and come back when they are settled down,” commanded Zhang Zian.
