On Sunday morning, after playing hide-and-seek with Xinghai and waiting for customers, Zhang Zian sat on the recliner and kept sending and receiving WeChat messages. Xinghai tirelessly continued to play hide-and-seek with the kittens. Fina was lying on the cat tree, lazily basking in the sun and sleeping. Old Time Tea was squatting next to Zhang Zian, watching him play with his phone curiously.
Zhang Zian told Sun Xiaomeng about the membership card he got from Xiao Yan yesterday and was absent-mindedly waiting for her reply.
An attack from a competitor...
The man in the trench coat had warned him, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought that the man was just trying to scare him. However, Xiao Yan also warned him yesterday, so he had to take it seriously. He only knew that the man in the trench coat was a super member of the Wang Haige forum, but he didn't know what he did in real life. Anyway, he didn't lack money. Obviously, the man in the trench coat and Xiao Yan didn't know each other, but they both thought that an attack from a competitor was coming soon.
He remembered what his parents had taught him: do things cleanly and be a person cleanly. He used to think that it was just a general statement. Could it be that there was a hidden meaning behind it? When his parents were alive, he didn't participate in the daily operation of the pet shop. Even if something happened to his parents, they were afraid that it would affect his studies, so they would discuss it privately behind his back. Perhaps, his parents had also experienced something at that time … Unfortunately, he would never know what exactly had happened.
He looked around his shop, trying to find a weakness from the perspective of his enemies.
All kinds of business licenses should be fine.
Fight pornography and illegal publications?
No matter what, it was too unrealistic to fight pornography and illegal publications in a pet shop...
"My friend, this little thing is so convenient!" Old Time Tea stared at the phone and was amazed. "Is this the legendary voice transmission?"
Judging from Old Time Tea's mandarin jacket, it should be a cat from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, but more information was not available. Just like when Fina first arrived, Old Time Tea was deeply attracted to modern technology.
"Voice transmission... That's right. It can be transmitted over tens of thousands of miles, let alone thousands of miles. But in modern society, this thing is so common that even kids have it. It's not strange, "Zhang Zian explained.
Old Time Tea looked out of the shop. Not far away, there was a building under construction. Towering cranes were hoisting prefabricated cement boards back and forth like building blocks. Feeling it, it said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime golden age! Thousands of buildings are safe, and the cold men of the remote world are happy! Is this the world of Great Harmony that we have been dreaming of for thousands of years? "
"The world of Great Harmony … This is too exaggerated. We are just in the initial stage of socialism, and we are still far from building a communist society …" Zhang Zian was embarrassed.
Old Time Tea was shocked. "In my opinion, this is more than a hundred times better than the golden age of the Kang and Qian Dynasties. Is there a better golden age?"
"Theoretically, yes," Zhang Zian answered affirmatively. "The road is tortuous, but the future is bright."
"In addition, Grandpa Tea, if you have the chance in the future, you can go out and see the outside world. Although the current society is much better than the evil old society, it is far from perfect. Some people are starving, some people are freezing, not everyone can afford a house, and there are many unjust and unfair things in society. It really does not deserve the title of 'the world of Great Harmony.'"
The world of Great Harmony … It was not necessarily impossible, but at least Zhang Zian would never see it in his lifetime.
Old Time Tea nodded and said regretfully, "It is a pity that I am old and weak. Otherwise, I would like to travel all over China and witness this era with my own eyes."
Zhang Zian thought about it and smiled. "It is not that troublesome. If you want to see it, there are very convenient tools in modern society. Wait a minute!"
He ran upstairs and took the LCD TV from his parents' bedroom. Then, he went back to his parents' bedroom to take the internet set-top box down. Old Time Tea liked to lie on the electric blanket in the corner, so Zhang Zian put the TV and TV box there and found a small coffee table to be the TV cabinet.
Old Time Tea curiously watched him.
After Zhang Zian plugged in the power, he pressed the remote control.
Vivid pictures and sounds appeared on the TV. Old Time Tea was shocked again. "Is this some kind of improved Western goggles?"
"Western goggles … Well, that's more like it. This thing is called a TV. It allows us to know about the world without leaving home. " Zhang Zian kept changing the channels. "Look, this is the news channel, and this is the science and education channel. Grandpa Tea, if you want to know more about modern society, you should start from these two channels. Also, this is the sports channel, and this is the movie channel. You can think of them as high-end Western movies … This is the drama channel. I don't know if you like drama … This is the agriculture channel, which has some news and events about our country's agriculture. "
Old Time Tea was so busy that she didn't even want to blink. Hearing this, she agreed. "Food is the most important thing. Agriculture is a big event that concerns the world. It should have its own channel."
"This is the TV series channel, but I don't recommend you watch it. You'll lose your IQ if you watch it too much. Also, the plot is very fake. It's seriously out of touch with society." Zhang Zian switched to the local channel. "This is the local channel. You can usually see some events and news that happened in Binhai City. Of course, most of the negative news is filtered out."
"Look, this is the remote control. It's very easy to use. Left, right, switch, volume up, and volume down. You only need to know what these five buttons are for. You don't need to worry about the other buttons. Now, I'll press the volume up button to make the sound louder. " Zhang Zian explained as he turned up the volume of the TV, but not too loud. He didn't want to disturb Fina's sleep. Fina had a bad temper when it woke up, so he didn't want to mess with it.
In order for the elderly to learn how to use it, the current remote controls were very simplified. They weren't like the old remote controls that had dozens of buttons that made people dizzy. After Zhang Zian taught it a few times, Old Time Tea understood and tried to change the channel with its claws. At first, it wasn't very good at it, but after a while, it had a lot of fun.
However, there were too many TV stations. Old Time Tea couldn't remember which channel was playing what. But it didn't matter. For it, any channel's program was very fresh.
At that moment, three figures flashed by the door. It was Zhao Qi, Liu Wenying, and Liu Wenying's daughter, Yue Yue.
"Zhang Zian! We're here to defend our rights! "Zhao Qi said directly.
