388 When All is Said and Done (2/2)

It was her mother's call.

”Hello?” she whispered after connecting the call, ”What are you doing? I'm broadcasting! Oh, yes, I'm fine. I'll be home later.”

Shi Rong said at the other end of the phone, ”I watched the live broadcast. Just leave that place. I will let your dad handle the rest of the issues. Also, apologize to the manager for your dad, for his arrogant and unreasonable attitudes towards him.”

Snowy said lightly, ”Do not worry, Mr. Store Manager is not a stingy person...”

”Just apologize and get back home!” Shi Rong urged her impatiently. Though Snowy was safe as of now, as a mother, Shi Rong was still concerned for her daughter.

”Okay, I got it,” Snowy reluctantly agreed and hung up the phone.

It was nearly noon, and most of the onlookers had left, with only a few exceptions remaining here, like an audience waiting for bonus scenes after the ending subtitles in a movie theater.

Snowy ran to Zhang Zian and praised him with a thumbs-up, ”Mr. Store Manager, you are amazing!”

”Just so-so.” Zhang Zian pointed at her cell phone, ”Are you still recording?”

”Yes, Mr. Store Manager has something to say?” she looked at him.

Zhang Zian cleared his throat and said, ”Just as I said, those who looked down on me and provoked me have been defeated! Are you afraid of me now?!”

Just when the audience had decided to give him a little respect, they were exasperated by his pretentious mockery!

”Mr. Store Manager, I apologize for my dad. He was too rude when he called you before...” Snowy apologized sincerely.

Zhang Zian said generously, ”It does not matter.”

”And... um...” Snowy said hesitantly, ”Let's get out of here, if you do not mind.”

”Can we just leave now?” Zhang Zian asked confusedly.

Today was Sunday, and all the seats in the only Michelin three-starred restaurant in Binhai had been booked up. Lin Qi was making phone calls to his rich friends, to see if they could get him some seats.

Snowy secretly pointed at him and whispered to Zhang Zian, ”Brother Qi said he will handle the follow-up issues, and let us be at ease.”

She rarely told lies, so her face right now was a little blushed. But she did not want to expose her own identity as a girl from a wealthy family, which might make her friends and audience estrange her.

Zhang Zian thought Lin Qi was returning his favor for promising him to get an Ashera Cat. To be honest, he was hungry, and so was Richard, who had been yelling to have lunch. He didn’t want to wait here any longer.

”OK.” He nodded and said to Deng Jie and Wei Ping, ”Sister Deng, Grandpa Wei, there is nothing for us to do now and we can go. Someone will take care of the rest.”

Deng Jie walked with admiration, ”Manager Zhang, you are really powerful...”

”No, I’m not.” Zhang Zian waved his hands and said, ”It’s not worth mentioning. Sister Deng, do you have anything else that we can help you with?”

”I'm fine, thank you so much today, for giving me a closure...” Deng Jie sighed softly, ”I’ve learned my lessons. I should not take up any more of your time. See you. Let me buy you dinner someday.”

Lin Qi finally finished his phone calls. Seeing that Deng Jie was leaving, he invited her for lunch. Since Deng Jie still declined, he stopped insisting.

Wei Ping also repeatedly expressed his gratitude towards Zhang Zian. Zhang Zian left his pet store address to him. He then left to find a place in the suburbs to bury the dead little doggy.

Lin Qi warmly invited Zhang Zian and Snowy to go to the Michelin three-starred restaurant for dinner, but Zhang Zian declined, thinking that he owed Lin Qi a favor just now. Besides, Famous and Richard were certainly not allowed to enter such an upscale restaurant.

Lin Qi was upset. But since Zhang Zian didn’t agree, he had to leave by himself.

”Snowy, are you going home? I'll escort you to leave the dog market.” Zhang Zian asked Snowy. Since he promised her father to protect her safely in the dog market, they could not part ways here.

Snowy thought for a moment. Although her mother urged her to go home, she wanted to hang around for a while longer. ”No, I’m going back to the pet shop with you, as there are a few audience members still asking questions about pets.”

”Well, let's go.” Zhang Zian glanced at the few unscrupulous merchants who were still lying on the ground, waved to Famous and Richard, and left the dog market.
