Chapter 499 Ah Meow Plays Promoter (2/2)
The little girl stroked her tummy and said, ”Aren't we supposed to sell them? If we were to get rid of them, I'd be full after eating just one box. How many can you eat?”
Li Du was stunned. ”I—what I meant by 'get rid of them' was sell them, not eat them.”
She smiled. ”Sorry, my mistake.”
Thinking back of her remark earlier, Li Du suddenly realized that Victoria was a glutton!
They pushed the small cart to the entrance of the supermarket; the security guard saw and instantly came over. ”Hey buddies, this is not a farmer's market. Sorry, scouts are not allowed to set up stalls here.”
The young girl had obviously not expected such a situation to occur. At a loss, she hugged her comic book with a blank stare.
Li Du gave her an ”it's okay” hand gesture. ”Let me settle this.”
He pulled the black security guard aside and was about to use money to resolve the matter.
In the end, another black man walked over and said, ”Hi, Li, what're you doing here? What a coincidence.”
Li Du saw him and smiled; it was indeed a coincidence. He had bumped into Lewton, the lad from Bones Community. They had worked together to get their hands on Frank's armor a few days ago.
He explained the situation to him. Lewton said nonchalantly, ”Okay, don't set up a table here. Just carry your cookies and go around promoting. This way, you're not breaking any rules.”
Li Du understood what Lewton meant. He expressed his gratitude and then returned. The little lady asked nervously, ”It's settled?”
”Of course,” Li Du laughed. ”As long as you face a problem courageously, it will be resolved. Understand?”
The little girl nodded, hesitated, and then nodded again more vigorously.
Li Du pushed the cart with the boxes of cookies inside so Victoria could do the promoting.
It was tough this way; the little lady did not dare to speak, and stood in front of the small cart blankly. Her lips were quivering, but she didn't say a word.
Li Du shook his head and brought Ah Meow out. He put a cap on him, and said, ”Ah Meow, take this box of cookies. Go, sell it to that person. Remember to collect money.”
The cookies were cheaply priced. After all, this was a community activity. There were ten packets of cookies in a box for only two dollars. Tasty snacks at a low price.
Ah Meow saw the money in Li Du's hand, bit the box and ran to a woman with his head raised high.
He put the box down and sat behind it. Then, he lifted his head and looked up with his big eyes. He looked tenderly at the woman carrying her child, opened his mouth and softly cried, ”Meow! Meow!”
The woman was surprised to see Ah Meow wearing a Scout cap. She looked around and asked, ”Whose cat is this?”
The cap was a little big; it was just right for the little girl but almost covered Ah Meow's entire head. He had to use his claws to push it away so he could see. He continued to meow.
The child that the woman carried started to giggle. ”Kitty, kitty!”
Li Du waved to the woman. ”Scout activities, madam. Two dollars for a box of delicious cookies.”
The woman smiled and asked, ”There are animal scouts too? This big cat looks like it is doing well.”
Ah Meow continued to meow, and, noticing her smile, went forward and nudged her calf.
The woman was touched. She took out two dollars, gave them to Ah Meow, and retrieved the small box.
The small child stretched out his hand to touch Ah Meow. The ocelot did not resist and let the child stroke him a few times before biting the money and running off.
Li Du passed the money to the little girl and said, ”Look, it's so simple. Promoting is easy as long as you have courage. After all, you can't be more scared than a cat, right?”
