Chapter 94
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sun Xiaomeng parked the car in front of the pet clinic . The auto parts store next door was about to open . The fat owner rolled up the shutter door and said hi to Sun Xiaomeng . "Good morning, beautiful! Coming to work?"
Although she spent an hour and a half back and forth to the breeding base, it was only a little past 8:30 – a normal time to open the store .
All the staff, including the owner in the auto parts store, were all male . They sometimes said hi to her so she was used to it .
"Good morning, Uncle Niu!" she didn’t talk much, locked her car and walked in her clinic .
Zhang Zian already finished cleaning . He was watching a TV show called Man and Nature in the waiting room .
"Liar Zhang!" She threw her purse on the table and screamed angrily . Her face was all red and said, "You intentionally made a fool out of me, didn’t you?"
"It was just a joke . You don’t need to get mad . " He was eating the free candies from the front desk with his legs across and said, "I was going to tell you but thought that you would not believe . So, I just let it go . " He made it sound like it was Sun Xiaomeng’s fault .
She was speechless hearing his explanation . She stared at him and said, "you had to at least try! Otherwise, how are you so sure I don’t believe you?"
"Okay . If I told you that I had my customers bathe their own cats, would you believe me?"
"I…" honestly, she didn’t think anyone would be that stupid . However, she knew her dad would not joke about things like that . Therefore, it might be true .
"There you go . " His face was innocent as if he was saying, look, I knew you wouldn’t believe me .
"Okay . Tell me how you did it then," she couldn’t help asking .
He replied calmly, "Business secret . "
She was silent . After all, it made sense . His business started to pick up in such a short time . There had to be some untold secrets . Otherwise, he would lose his advantages .
Zhang Zian changed the subject . "What is up with the two dogs and one cat in your ward?"
She sighed, shaking her head .
Zhang Zian already knew before she said anything – the owners had to abandon the pets after taking them to the clinic . They didn’t want to pick up the pet and pay for the treatment costs . In other words, they would never come back .
It was normal . Every pet clinic or hospital had encountered this situation .
The owner didn’t want to pay for the high costs of treating the pet; however, they didn’t want to watch their pet die, so they sent them to the clinic . If the vet didn’t save them, then it was not the owner’s fault .
What was even more annoying was that the vets had to pay for the treatment and they could not get rid of the pets . They could only continue keeping the pets with their own money . If the owner came back for their pet after they were given away or sent to the shelter, then the clinic would be in trouble .
This would cause a dead circle . The clinic already lost money treating those pets; therefore, such costs would be transferred to consumers . They had to increase the service charge to keep the clinic running . The increased costs caused complaints and then some customers would turn into abandoners due to financial pressure .
The only way out was to push pet insurance like western countries .
In fact, pet insurance was already available in the market, but it wasn’t popular .
If pet insurance was a mandatory item that all pet stores had to carry, just like someone had to get insurance for their car, then it would solve the problem . However, it would increase the cost of pets . No one would like to see that .
Also, to calculate the premium and claims would be very tricky . It required large amounts of data for the calculation . Honestly, only Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was capable in doing so .
He was in the zone thinking about those problems when his cell phone chimed .
[Game Tip]:There is a rare pet in your city . It is up to the player whether to capture .
[Game Tip]:Following is the information of the pet .
[Type of Pet]:Elfin
[Rarity]:Top level
[Difficult to Capture]:Could not determine .
[Risk]:Low . Attention: Capture by force will bring extreme high risk .
He didn’t say much, tapped her on the shoulder and said, "I’ve got to go . Think about the membership matter and call me . "
He left before she responded .
"Rush rush rush…" she shook her head .
Zhang Zian was about to walk towards the bus station . Then a message popped up showing the location of the pet . He stopped .
It showed that the location was in a small mountain in the Northeast side of the city . There was no bus to go there .
He could only get there in a taxi .
"Hi, can you take me to Yinwu Mountain?" he asked the driver . Some drivers were not willing to go beyond the border of the city .
"Sure!" the driver nodded quickly .
"Thank you so much . You did me a big favor . " He hopped in the taxi and said, "Please hurry . "
The driver laughed, "Yo, gentleman . Are you rushing to see your girlfriend?"
Zhang Zian chuckled, "Haha…"
Most taxi drivers are chatterboxes . They could talk about everything and anything, from celebrity gossip in China to the presidential election in the US .
As soon as the trip started, the driver could not stop talking . "Young kids like yourself love going to Yiwu Mountain for a date . It is a nice place . Quiet, fresh air, nice view . They can talk as they hike . Sometimes they may get lucky…"
Zhang Zian was amused . This driver was quite inappropriate .
The driver turned around, looked at him and giggled, "Did you bring a condom? You have to be careful on these things…"
Oh my goodness! The driver worried too much . He should’ve just shut up and driven the car!
"Oh…sir, please look forward . Don’t turn around and look at me . I don’t want to die yet!" Zhang Zian felt quite nervous when the driver kept looking at him .
"That’s fine . That’s fine . I drive on this road every day . I can drive with my eyes closed . " The driver continued to turn around . "Young man, even though I am bald now, I was very handsome when I was younger . So many pretty girls chased after me!"
Zhang Zian was embarrassed . This driver was crazy!
