As usual, Zhang Zian didn't have a schedule today, and he was still unemployed. Logically speaking, going to the dog market was not a big deal. After all, he was just driving, and he was a car owner.
However, he couldn't agree so easily. If he agreed immediately, where would his dignity be?
Even if he couldn't earn money from this trip to the dog market, he had to at least earn some face.
He pointed to the Mercedes-Benz G parked outside and asked knowingly, "Is that your car?"
"Ah? Yes. "Hei Zi nodded blankly.
"I can take you to the dog market, but I have to drive." Zhang Zian had made up his mind to drive a luxury car. Driving was not the goal. The most important thing was to sit in the driver's seat and take a few selfies, intentionally or unintentionally showing the car logo, and then send it to his friends. Maybe some girl would take the bait.
Of course, his little thoughts could not be hidden from the audience and the viewers in the live stream. Especially the viewers in the live stream, they could not help but mock him.
"Hey, Store Manager, I advise you to stop pretending. Girls these days don't fall for it. They might even think that you're a worker at a car wash …"
"That's right. I think it's more pretentious to drive a Wuling Hong Guang MPV!"
"It's mainly because their temperaments don't match. If you drive a tough guy's car, you're like a teddy bear that wants to rape the earth!"
Zhang Zian knew that the audience in the live broadcast room definitely had nothing good to say, so he simply ignored them.
Blackie, who did not know the truth, casually took out the remote control key and threw it to him. He readily agreed. "No problem."
Vladimir, who had originally planned to go out at this time, strolled back to its original position and continued to lie down. Since Zhang Zian was also going to the dog market, it could totally hitch a ride on the way. There was no need to break its legs.
Zhang Zian still had things to deal with, so he could not leave immediately. Otherwise, it would not be appropriate to push all the work to the staff.
Fortunately, Snowy and Blackie were not in a hurry. Snowy stood behind Lu Yiyun and broadcast the process of the quasi-professional artist to the audience, while Blackie inevitably gathered with the fans next to Famous. He didn't know much about dogs, so he listened to the fans' comments and had fun watching.
After finishing his work, Zhang Zian waved his hand. "Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Vladimir perked up and quickly followed them out of the shop.
Zhang Zian wasn't surprised to see it following him. Every time he went to a faraway place, Vladimir would always go with him enthusiastically. It was probably setting up its Meow Meow Branch everywhere.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Zian was still a little excited. He took a few selfies before starting the car and driving to the dog market. Blackie sat in the front passenger seat. Snowy left Snowball at the pet shop and sat in the back with Vladimir.
To be honest, a luxury car was indeed different. It attracted a lot of attention, and he always felt that all the beauties on the road were looking back at him. Of course, they might not be looking at the car, but at his handsome face. Yes, that must be it!
"By the way, Xiaoxue, when I went to the capital a while ago, I saw you at the Forbidden City."
After the novelty passed, Zhang Zian said half-jokingly.
"Ah?" Snowy's eyes widened in shock. "I haven't been to the capital recently. Did you get the wrong person?"
"It's not that I got the wrong person, it should be that I got the wrong cat."
Since he was bored on the road, Zhang Zian told her about how he met Snowy, the stray cat in the Forbidden City.
"There's such a thing?" Snowy was surprised and happy. "I've been to the Forbidden City before, but the houses inside were all the same. It was very boring, and I didn't notice any stray cats."
"That's because stray cats don't like to mix with tourists. You should either go early, or don't go along the central axis. Go to the more remote palaces on the east and west sides. That way, you can meet stray cats." Zhang Zian passed on the explanation of the Forbidden City employee to her. "Of course, if you can be as lucky as me and enter the restricted area, you can find more stray cats there."
Although Snowy said that she was envious, she was really envious. She went to the Forbidden City just to look around. She really didn't expect there to be all kinds of stray cats there, especially cats with the same name as her.
"The next time I go, I must take a picture with the stray cat Snowy before I come back!" she said unwillingly.
As they talked about their experience in the Forbidden City, time passed very quickly. It didn't feel like much time had passed before they arrived near the dog market.
Zhang Zian and Snowy were both locals, and they had come to the dog market before. They were mainly chatting on the road, especially since Zhang Zian had to drive. He kept a close eye on the situation in front of him, so that he wouldn't crash the luxury car.
It was Blackie's first time in Binhai City, and it was also his first time in the dog market. Everything was new to him. Aside from the occasional conversation, he spent most of his time observing the unfamiliar city through the car window.
"Speaking of stray cats … I say, are there so many stray cats in Binhai City?"
When Zhang Zian and Snowy's conversation came to an end, he suddenly asked.
Stray cats were a sensitive topic recently, because they could always be linked to the Holy Cat statue.
Snowy and Zhang Zian were both stunned.
"Quite a lot, right? Why do you ask?" Snowy asked.
Blackie pointed outside. "Look, you can see at least two or three stray cats … That's weird. They seem to be gathering in the same direction. Did something happen?"
Zhang Zian slowed down the car and looked left and right with Snowy at the same time.
Sure enough, Blackie's description was not exaggerated. Looking at the top of the walls and roofs on both sides of the street, there were always two or three stray cats of different colors. The strangest thing was that they were all running in the same direction. They were not restricted by the road like cars. Instead, they jumped over houses and took shortcuts, and the general direction seemed to be the dog market.
"That's weird. What are these stray cats doing?" Snowy pressed her forehead against the car window and said in confusion, "Is there someone nearby who feeds them at a fixed time, and they go to a fixed place to eat when the time comes?"
What she said was possible, but to attract so many stray cats, what kind of feeding scale would that have to be? Unless it was an animal protection organization or a charity organization, it was impossible for a single person to feed so many stray cats, except for those who had mines at home.
Zhang Zian hadn't been to the dog market for a long time, so he didn't dare to say for sure if what Snowy said was true. But according to Ockham's razor principle, Snowy's explanation was too complicated and required too many preconditions. Maybe there was a simpler reason that could explain all of this.
He looked at Vladimir in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The initiator of the large-scale battle might be in the car.
It stared out the window indifferently, with a faint smile on its face. It whispered softly, "Wind and rain rise in the dog market, millions of cats cross the river!"
