”Hey? Mr. Store Manager, do you actually have friends in the U.S.? I've never heard you mention them before.” asked Snowy, surprised.
Zhang Zian answered casually, ”You think I achieved nothing during my trip to the U.S.? Let me tell you, I have established a firm cooperation with the professionals in the pet industry there. As long as I shoot a message to my friends, whether you want an Ashera cat or other breeds, they can help you get one easily.”
The audience members in the live broadcast room all knew he was being pretentious, but Lin Qi didn’t know that. He happily exchanged contact information with Zhang Zian and curiously asked, ”Mr. Zhang, my friend who raises the serval doesn’t dare to bring it out in public. He just shows the cat among our friends. As I heard, he hasn’t handled the required documents, so that serval is still a wild animal that can’t be raised in private. Hence, if someone sees him with the serval and then call the police, he might be in trouble, is that true?”
”Yes, that's true,” Zhang Zian replied affirmatively. ”Serval cats are wild animals. To raise them in private, the owners must obtain a Wildlife Domestication and Breeding License, which is probably the document he referred to.”
Lin Qi pouted awkwardly, then asked, ”Well, if I buy an Ashera cat, do I also need to get a permit before I can take it out?”
Zhang Zian knew that an heir to a wealthy family like Lin Qi was fond of showing off in front of others.
”No, you don’t have to.” He explained, ”Ashera cat is a new species of artificial breeding rather than a wild animal, and because its name doesn’t appear in any relevant conventions on wildlife home and abroad, it doesn’t need that document. There is no problem even if you take it out, although I do not advise you to do this, for it may scare others.”
Lin Qi excitedly clapped his hands, ”Great! Then my friend will envy me very much!”
He looked at the watch, ”It’s almost noon now, when are you guys leaving? It’s a rare chance for us to meet, shall we go to have lunch together? My treat! I have so many things to ask Brother Zhang for advice.”
Hearing that Zhang Zian was so familiar with rare pets, Lin Qi intended to befriend him, so he even changed the way to address Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian looked at Deng Jie, and politely refused him, ”To be honest, we still have something to do today, so we will stay here longer. If you are in a hurry, you can leave first.”
”I'm not in a hurry. I have nothing to do. If you do not mind, I'll go with you, and on the way learn more knowledge about pets... What are you doing here anyway? You are not buying pets, are you?” Lin Qi came closer as if they had known each other very well.
Since Deng Jie had no objection, Zhang Zian replied, ”We are here to help Sister Deng look for the vendor who lied to her and sold her a sick Shiba Inu.”
”OK, then I shall come with you! Throughout my entire life, I’ve always hated those swindlers the most!” said Lin Qi indignantly.
If we hadn’t come in time, you would have been cheated at that stand… said Zhang Zian in his heart.
Deng Jie and Zhang Zian were walking in front of him, while Snowy was pulling Lin Qi’s hand behind, and she quietly told him, ”Brother Qi, you must help me keep my secret, do not mention my dad and my family before them!”
All Lin Qi was thinking of right now was the scene when he held an Ashera cat in front of his rich friends, so he just nodded to promise Snowy absent-mindedly. He smiled proudly thinking that the serval cat of his friend might be so scared that it might wet itself when it saw his Ashera cat.
When Zhang Zian and his companions left, the street vendor Lao San was furious! Not only had Zhang Zian destroyed his business, but he had stolen his customer too! Lao San couldn’t tolerate this!
He picked up his cell phone and opened the Dog Market Trading Group Chat.
Three-year-old Oni: ”Brother Red Dragon! Someone stole my customer! We must teach them some lessons! If they come here every weekend, how are we going to conduct our business?”
The profiteers in the group responded by crying out how much money they had lost today...
Red Dragon: ”Don’t worry! Lao San, do you know where they are going next?”
Three-year-old Oni, ”I heard that they are going to find a vendor selling Shiba Inu.”
Red Dragon: ”A stand selling Shiba Inu? F**k! It must be the stand of Black Mole! Everyone, put down the things on your hand, and gather at Black Mole’s stand!”
...
It was almost noon and everyone was tired and thirsty, but Deng Jie still had not found the dog dealer that cheated her last time. She said to Zhang Zian apologetically, ”Mr. Store Manager, should we give up? I’m so sorry for taking your morning…I guess that person isn’t doing business today.”
Snowy did not want to give up halfway, so she advised her, ”Sister Deng, let's continue. If we can’t find him in half an hour, then we will leave.”
Zhang Zian thought what Deng Jie said made sense. The dog dealer may not be out doing business today; after all, the weather was not good.
