The old man walked out slowly with the feather duster in his hand. "Little customer, have you decided?"
"Yes!" Snowy nodded affirmatively. "I've decided to buy it!"
The old man kindly reminded her, "Although you said you're not buying it for yourself, but giving it to someone else, let me remind you that the Holy Cat statue was buried with the pharaoh. It exists as the guardian of the mausoleum. Although the Holy Cat is an absolute good god and guardian in Egyptian mythology, it's been buried underground for a long time. Any funerary object, whether light or heavy, will carry some Yin energy. It's not very suitable to be placed at home, especially not in the rooms of women and children. "
He vaguely warned her not to give the Holy Cat statue to women and children as playthings. Even he couldn't handle it, let alone women and children who had a weaker aura.
Snowy waved her hand. "It's okay. Don't worry. The person I want to give it to is a man, and he's quite careless. He always uses Yin energy in the air, as long as he can save money."
The old man said, "… Okay, you win. This kind of person is really suitable. Also, people who like the Holy Cat statue usually like cats, and cats and the Holy Cat statue can't coexist. Have you considered this? "
"That's none of my business," Snowy said with a smile. In fact, she suddenly had a mischievous idea. If the Holy Cat statue caused chaos in Zhang Zian's pet shop, then it would be a punishment for him talking big.
The old man was stunned at first, then laughed. "Okay, this statue is very heavy. You're a little girl, and I'm an old man. I'm afraid neither of us can move it. I'll call a taxi for you."
"Then I will have to trouble you."
The old man walked out of the alley and went to the main street to hail a taxi. He was relieved to leave Snowy alone in the shop.
Snowy didn't walk around and touch anything, but stood where she was to avoid arousing suspicion. She raised her head and looked at the other items in the shop.
After a few minutes, a taxi drove into the alley and stopped in front of the shop. The old man followed.
The tall and strong driver jumped out of the car and looked at the Holy Cat statue. "Good heavens, this is it?"
"Yes, please help move it into the trunk, along with the shelf underneath," the old man ordered.
The driver rolled up his sleeves, bent over, and put his hand under the Holy Cat Statue's armpit. He whispered, "Up!"
The Holy Cat statue seemed to be made of solid bronze. It was shockingly heavy and heavy. The driver's face turned red, and he carried the statue into the trunk. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and close the trunk.
Snowy transferred the money to the old man through her mobile phone. The old man was also very good at using his mobile phone, not worse than the young people.
"Then I'm leaving. Bye!" Snowy got into the car and waved goodbye to the old man.
The old man smiled as he watched her leave. He returned to his shop and locked the door. The already dim shop became even darker.
…
Along the way, the driver curiously asked Snowy about the Holy Cat statue in the trunk, asking if it was an unearthed cultural relic. Snowy understood the principle of not flaunting one's wealth. She did not want to lie and only said that it was not worth much.
For safety's sake, she took out her phone and started the live broadcast to prevent the driver from getting greedy.
“Hello！ Hello everyone, I am Snowy. Welcome to my live broadcast! Our slogan is: Eat, Drink, Play, and Be Merry in Binhai! "She smiled at the camera and made a peace sign.
"Wow! Sister Snowy, you are finally here! "
"Snowy, Snowy, please read my name! Please kiss me, hug me, and raise me up high! "
"You are new here, right? Even if you tip Snowy tens of thousands of yuan, she will not read your name. It is useless to act cute. After all, Snowy is the cutest! "
"Isn't Snowy on the way to Back Things Rising? Why is she not there yet? Did something happen? "The sharp-eyed audience noticed that she was sitting in a taxi.
"It's like this …" Snowy explained, "The plan has changed. We are going to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop to visit the magical talking parrot."
"Why? Snowy, we won't have to watch a live broadcast this way. "
Snowy smiled and said, "I am sorry, but the boss of Back Things Rising doesn't allow me to broadcast … What can I do? I am also very desperate! "
"We don't care! We demand compensation! We demand compensation! "The audience began to make a scene. They would not be taken advantage of no matter what.
Snowy was being pestered by the audience, so she agreed to try her best to make up for the scheduled live broadcast.
The taxi soon arrived at the Amazing Fate Pet Shop and stopped by the side of the road.
Zhang Zian was sending the renovation workers off when he saw Snowy get out of the taxi. He walked up to her.
"Yahhh! Mr. Store Manager! I am here to disturb you again! "Snowy raised her hand to him.
Normally, when faced with a beautiful girl raising her hand, a normal person would give her a high-five and let out a scream. However, Zhang Zian was not a normal person. His eyes did not fall on Snowy at all. He kept looking into the taxi. "What about … the gift?"
Snowy put down her hand awkwardly.
The audience in the live broadcast room was not having it!
"What the f * ck! The pretentious Mr. Store Manager is getting worse and worse! "
"I don't know if I should say it!"
"What the f * ck is wrong with the Mr. Store Manager!"
Snowy asked the driver to open the trunk. She pointed at the bronze statue of the Holy Cat and said, "The gift is here, but it is very heavy!"
Zhang Zian thought it was something normal, but he was stunned when he saw the lifelike statue of the Holy Cat. He stopped joking and asked seriously, "This is for me?"
"Yes." Snowy nodded. "It is a gift to celebrate the reopening of the shop."
"How much did you pay for this?" he asked.
He had to get to the bottom of this. Joking was just joking. He did not want to owe her too much.
Snowy thought about it and said, "It is very cheap. It is just a replica. Someone sold it for half the price." This was not a lie. Five thousand dollars might not even be able to buy one of the cat legs of the statue.
"If it is not expensive, then I will accept it."
Hearing that it was a replica, Zhang Zian was relieved. According to common sense, a replica should not be too expensive. He took it for granted that since it was a replica, the nose ring and earrings on the statue must be made of copper.
However, he did not consider that replicas could be divided into different grades. This Holy Cat statue was not an ordinary replica. It was not produced by a craftsmanship assembly line.
"Mr. Store Manager, do you like it?" Snowy observed his expression. She felt that Zhang Zian would like it, but there was always a possibility.
"Not bad. I like it very much," Zhang Zian said as he looked at the statue.
Although he wasn't sure if this was the Holy Cat statue that was based on the British Museum, he felt that it was the same as the murals that Professor Wei Kang had shown him when he looked at the lines and design. If he wasn't mistaken, it was definitely related to ancient Egypt. It did not matter if he liked it or not. The key was that Fina might like it.
"Wang Qian! Li Kun! Come out and move things! "he shouted back into the shop.
"Hey! Coming! "Wang Qian and Li Kun ran out in a hurry.
"Move this in." Zhang Zian pointed at the Holy Cat statue and said, "Be careful. If you knock or touch it, you will not get paid in the future."
Although the old man had also given the shelf to Snowy, the sidewalk was not smooth. Zhang Zian was worried that the statue would fall.
"Wait a minute!" Snowy hurriedly stopped him. She pulled Zhang Zian's sleeve and whispered, "I said that this statue is very strange. It might scare the cat. Mr. Store Manager, you have to be more careful …"
Zhang Zian did not care. "Don't worry. Even if this statue suddenly turns into Sadako, I will still catch her and make her my wife!"
The audience in the live broadcast room was helpless.
"Catch Sadako as your wife and sexually harass Mr. Store Manager. How thirsty are you?"
"I see those two idiots again!"
Wang Qian and Li Kun did not care. If their master told them to move, they would move. Even if the sky fell, their master would be there to hold it up. They immediately moved the statue into the pet shop.
