When they heard the name Zhang Wanguo, Famous and Old Time Tea turned to look at each other . Zhang Zian had mentioned this name to them before . Zhang Wanguo had sold a problematic Teacup puppy to some rich woman, and had caused a lot of issues .
Zheng shoved the cigarettes in his pocket, and pushed the dining cart around the corner . He walked toward a row of sheds further in the farm .
Under the dim lighting, the cart ran over a brick and violently clanged against it . Bang! One of the black garbage bags fell onto the floor .
The head of a dead Yorkie stuck out from the top of the bag .
"F**k, what a nasty smell! And it's so heavy!" Zheng covered his nose with his arm, picked up the garbage bag, and threw it back on the dining cart .
When he reached the sheds, he knocked on one of the doors .
"Who is it?" someone asked from inside .
"It's Zheng! I'm delivering medicine for some people!" replied Zheng loudly .
Before anyone realized, Old Time Tea and Famous jumped onto the roof of the shed to closely observe the situation .
The door slightly opened . A pair of eyes vigilantly confirmed Zheng's identity through the crack . Then, the door opened all the way . If Zhang Zian was there, he would've be able to recognize that it was Zhang Wanguo, whom he'd met once before .
"Why would they ask you to deliver something so important? They should have delivered it themselves!" said Zhang Wanguo with a bit of dissatisfaction after seeing Zheng walk in alone .
"Do you think I want to do this?" asked Zheng angrily . He was running errands for people and all he got was complaints .
"Where is the medicine?" Zhang Wanguo knew that Zheng was just a cook, so he didn't want to waste time with him .
Zheng took out the box from the cart and carefully handed it over . "Careful! Don't blame me if you break it!"
Zhang Wanguo grabbed it and glared at Zheng . "Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"
"I don't . What is it?" Zheng asked curiously .
Zhang Wanguo smiled . "Good . Just go mind your own business then . "
And then he closed the door .
"F**k! Who the hell does he think he is?" Zheng was offended and cursed Zhang Wanguo . Lifting his leg, he almost kicked the door . He put his leg back down resentfully, got the cart, and went to the garbage dump in the backyard .
When Zheng was far away, Old Time Tea and Famous stuck their heads out from the roof and peered inside the room through the window .
Including Zhang Wanguo, there were three men in the room . None of them paid attention to them looking in from outside .
"Is it here?" someone asked Zhang Wanguo .
"Yes . Let's check out the quality of the medicine this time . " Zhang Wanguo opened the box, took out a few syringes, and carefully looked at them under the light .
Another man complained, "The quality last time was so bad . After one injection, the dogs became lifeless . I told you not to buy cheap drugs! You didn't listen to me!"
"I knew that the expensive drugs were better . But would you pay extra money for the expensive drugs yourself?" asked the other man sarcastically .
"Me? Why should I?"
"Shut up, both of you . We're in this together . Let's try out the new medicine . " Zhang Wanguo interrupted their argument .
There was an iron cage in the room . A Poodle puppy was lying inside . It was much smaller than the common Poodle, but it wasn't small enough to be a Teacup Poodle .
Zhang Wanguo took it out from the cage and laid it down on a table covered with a white cloth . He said to the other two, "This dog is in pretty good condition . If we can sell it, we can get at least 20,000 Yuan . "
"Oh? How did you get this dog?" asked one of the men .
"Probably gene mutation," answered Zhang Wanguo uncertainly . "Its parents are ordinary Poodles, and it's the smallest one among its siblings . "
"It's possible . Our breeding farm is so huge . I've sometimes seen several smaller sized puppies, just like how there are dwarf human beings," said the other man .
"It's quite small, but it's not small enough to be sold as a Teacup Poodle . " Zhang Wanguo lifted up several syringes . "So, we're going to use this medicine . "
"Actually, I've been wondering what kind of medicine this is . Why do the dogs shrink so much after getting injected?" The man stared at the medicine with a confused expression .
Zhang Wanguo sneered . "It's a lipolytic solution . "
The two men had never heard of the strange term, so they both asked blankly, "What?"
"This medicine dissolves fat," Zhang Wanguo explained patiently . "Lipolytic solution is often used in the cosmetic industry . It's really expensive and one injection costs up to tens of thousands of RMBs . Usually, it's only used by wealthy celebrities who want to slim down their faces . But this money is well-spent because if the medicine works, it can transform an ordinary Poodle that's worth only hundreds of RMBs into a Teacup Poodle that is worth 20,000 to 30,000 Yuan or even more . To work, the Poodle must be in good condition . This one is pretty good though, and it's better than the Poodle last time . "
He pointed to the Poodle puppy that was waiting to get injected and said, "Newborn puppies have a lot fat in their bodies . One injection can dissolve most of the fat so that they're quickly reduced to the size of a Teacup Poodle . However, this a gamble because only some puppies can survive after the injections . "
"We're gambling fearlessly, to turn bicycles into motorcycles!" one man shouted .
Zhang Wanguo smiled and said, "You're right . The dog we used last time was in poor condition . To make it meet the standard size of a Teacup Poodle, I had injected it too many times and the medicine's quality was pretty bad . After I sold it to that woman, it died two or three days later, causing me a lot of trouble . But this dog should be fine . "
"Why do we have to be so sneaky? Why do we have to inject the solution into it at night? I want to go home and cuddle with my wife!" asked one man in confusion .
Zhang Wanguo sneered . "Who doesn't want to go home and be with their wife and children? We have to mix several drugs proportionately to make the lipolytic solution . And none of these drugs are available through regular means . China prohibits selling them and also private injections of the lipolytic solution . Let me ask you, do either of you have a cosmetic surgeon medical license? If you do, we can inject the medicine during the day . If you don't, just shut up! Do you want to make money or not?"
