Chapter 70
The middle-aged woman in the store insisted that she come in first, so Lu Yi Yun carefully pushed the door open, stuck her head in and looked .
Other than the middle-aged woman, there were also three men in the store . A few kittens were playing in the corner on the floor . A golden cat was playing with a shiny, small object indifferently and looked as if she didn’t care about anything . Another cat with black and white stripes was popping her head in and out under the stairs: she felt that the black and white cat was quite similar to hers .
A young, white dog was locked in the display cabinet, walking precipitously in circles . There was a hamster cage and a rabbit cage . The layout of the store looked exactly the same as shown in Snowy’s live show . She knew she found the right place .
"Ex . . ahem . . excuse me, is this the place that provides the cat bathing service?" She realized that she could not even talk . When she started talking, it sounded so strange and weird that she had to clear her throat to cover up her nervousness . She surfed online all day where she only needed to type, and when she spoke to Jasmine she could make whatever noise and Jasmine would respond . Neither chatting online nor talking to Jasmine required face to face interactions .
Zhang Zian nodded firmly, "Yes . You need to bathe your cat?"
She responded, "Um…Do you take a cat like this?" Her voice was very soft . Fortunately, it was quiet in the store, but Zhang Zian could barely hear her .
"Yes," he said, "Except for kittens that still drink milk and cats that are sick, everyone else is welcome . "
"Great . I want to bathe my cat…" she said .
At this time, Aunt Liu who was standing aside, stopped Lu Yi Yun, "Young lady, that’s not wise!"
Lu Yi Yun paused and realized that she was talking to her . She looked at Aunt Liu with tons of questions going through her mind . She didn’t know this middle-aged woman . Why would she start talking to her all of a sudden?
This was her first time in a pet store . In order to prepare for today’s big moment—bathing her cat—she watched Snowy’s live show, recorded it, and watched it again so she would not make any mistakes or run into embarrassments . She was pretty sure she didn’t see this middle-aged lady in the live show . The middle-aged lady was holding a cat . She didn’t look like a staff member nor did she seem to be a customer . Customers would at least have a cat bag; seldom would they carry a cat like her .
Aunt Liu put on a warm smile and said to Lu Yi Yun, who was greatly confused, "Young lady, you have to ask for the price first . If you don’t ask for the price, what happens when you find out later that you don’t have enough money to pay? Did you see the news? Some people went to a restaurant and didn’t ask for the price . When they finished, the bill was over 10 thousand yuan . What would you do if that was you, right? You can’t spit out the food and turn it back into the dish on the table . Right?"
Upon hearing Aunt Liu’s words, Lu Yi Yun agreed . She had not interacted with a stranger in so long that she forgot about the basics .
"I forgot . Thanks for reminding me," she praised Aunt Liu politely .
Wang Qian and Li Kun saw the whole story and had completely changed their impressions of Aunt Liu . At first, they thought that Aunt Liu was a caring person . Then, they were confused because she started to be mean, and now they were totally sick of her . She was totally unreasonable . She didn’t buy the service because of the price and now she was trying to talk people out of it . That’s a total disturbance to the store! What’s more, she was too good at pretending to be a nice person .
Zhang Zian watched quietly . He was not surprised because Aunt Liu was that kind of person . If she didn’t try to ruin his business, then it was not like her . That was okay . He was about to tell Lu Yi Yun the price anyways . He didn’t expect to have customers spend 300 Yuan to bathe their cat every day . The bathing room was empty . If he could make something out of it, it was better than nothing .
Aunt Liu’s smile was even bigger and her tone was comforting, "That’s fine . You look so young . I am guessing you have not had many bad experiences, so I just wanted to remind you . Look, you are very polite and your skin is beautiful . You would look stunning if you changed your hair and got a new pair of glasses . "
Aunt Liu thought the girl would fall for her . However, she didn’t know Lu Yi Yun was a female otaku that was truly disappointed in the real world . She was immune from Aunt Liu’s tricks .
"Hmmm…" Lu Yi Yun was just about to ask Zhang Zian .
