991 Various Methods of Inviting Trouble (1/2)

Zhang Zian brought a chair over and gestured for Electrician Wu to sit down. Electrician Wu wasn't young anymore, and there would be trouble if he were to have a panic attack. Zhang Zian didn't want to have an ambulance visit the pet shop again.

However, Electrician Wu's body was still in good condition, and in terms of mental health, he felt younger than people the same age as him; however, that was due to his stability in life, his open-minded nature, and his spiritual sustenance.

Electrician Wu took a moment to catch his breath and said, ”Actually, it isn't an urgent matter. I was just anxious because I was afraid that you would disappear again. I visited your shop about two or three times a few days ago, but you weren't around… I rushed down today in a hurry, afraid that you would head out again…”

Zhang Zian was surprised and thought to himself, He's been here two or three times to look for me? But no one said anything about this.

Zian had gone to the capital a few days prior, and after his return, he had been busy taking Famous to a series of media activities organized by Binhai City––which included leaving its paw prints on the Star Avenue in Binhai Studio. It was normal for Electrician Wu to miss him, as Zian had been heading out early in the morning and returning late at night.

Zian had notified the staff members ahead of time that if someone were to look for him specifically, they needed to take down the visitor's details. That way, when Zian returned at night, he would be able to call the visitor back depending on the situation. There hadn't been any records of Electrician Wu stopping by over the last few days.

Electrician Wu observed Zian's facial expression and noticed that Zhang Zian gave Lu Yiyun a questioning look. He quickly added, ”Oh. During my visits, all your staff members were very busy, and there were a lot of customers in the store. I just took a look around and left without coming in because I didn't want to bother you guys or affect the business.”

Zhang Zian nodded and expressed that he understood. ”So, your reason for coming here…”

”Cough! It's all because of Welder Zhao, that old child… I'm almost like his father now, worrying about him all day!” Electrician Wu said as he sighed and slapped his own thigh.

In fact, when Electrician Wu came in through the door, Zhang Zian had already guessed about 70 percent to 80 percent of the reason he was there. After all, Electrician Wu was a steady old man. Although he was as ordinary as one could be, he stood out by being a very steady person. He didn't cause trouble, and wouldn't do anything stupid just because he had nothing to do. Such people generally did not encounter anything particularly urgent.

Electrician Wu's longtime friend, Welder Zhao, was a classic example of someone who had various methods of inviting trouble. He continuously went to great lengths to save money, yet he had extremely bad luck. For example, the reef rocks that he brought back from the sea had a bobbit worm in them. After that, he had planned to ask Carpenter Wang for a few fish while he cleared his tank, but he got infected with Palytoxin. He wanted to save money on fish, but he got charged for the hospital bills instead… No one knew how he survived until the age of retirement.

From listening to Electrician Wu's tone, Zhang Zian wondered if Welder Zhao got into trouble again after he had just been discharged from the hospital only a few days ago…

With all that said, Electrician Wu felt very embarrassed for this longtime friend. His retirement salary was not very large, and an ordinary family wouldn't spend so much money on fish alone. Welder Zhao was always trying to save money, only to lose more money in the end.
