It was a quiet morning.
The sounds of breathing echoed in the bedrooms on the second floor of the pet shop. Some were long, some were soft, and some were funny.
Zhang Zian was awakened by his biological clock. He stretched, but did not get up immediately. Instead, he changed his position and lay on his side, but he did not fall asleep again.
Today, he did not have to get up early to make beef stew for Famous and the two police dogs, so he could get up later, but he could not get up too late. After all, today was the weekend, and there would be more customers, and there might even be customers from afar. It was not that the shooting had been completed, or that the crew was merciful enough to give him time to earn money. It was that after the incident yesterday, the crew was facing a comprehensive reorganization. Several key people, including Director Feng Xuan, were still being questioned by the police, so they had to take a temporary holiday.
Zhang Zian took out his mobile phone from under his pillow and looked at the crew's WeChat group. From last night until now, all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere. Some people even said that Guan Biao was suspected of terrorist activities and was taken away by the National Security Agency. Zhang Zian could only laugh at these outrageous speculations.
Yesterday, after Sheng Ke arrived with his people, he immediately arrested Guan Biao for "intentionally damaging property." At the same time, because Guan Biao tried to release sulfur dioxide to damage property, which was suspected of poisoning, he was also charged with "attempted endangerment of public safety." This was too heavy a charge. Otherwise, the crew would not have taken a holiday.
When Guan Biao was taken away, he was silent and did not resist. He probably knew that his plot had been exposed. However, he was a smart person. After being taken to the police station, in order to reduce his crime, he not only confessed, but also took the initiative to confess to Yuan Fei, claiming that he was coerced and instigated by Yuan Fei. Therefore, Yuan Fei was also sent to the police station.
Director Feng Xuan, Producer Nie Yuan, and several other key people of the crew also made statements.
Another reason for the crew's holiday was that the pyrotechnician was arrested. They needed to wait for a new pyrotechnician to report before they could continue shooting. It was conceivable that when the shooting resumed in two days, the crew would be even busier to make up for the progress of the past two days.
Although Nie Yuan did everything he could to put out the fire, the sensitive media still smelled some clues. There were a few paparazzi at the entrance of the Film City. Once a crew member entered or left, they would be pulled down and paid a lot of money to inquire about the news. So in the past few days, there had been a few specious reports on Weibo and the gossip public accounts. It was a pity that no one interviewed the real person involved, Zhang Zian.
Speaking of which, Guan Biao had lost unjustly. His plan was almost flawless. Zhang Zian was able to expose his conspiracy in advance because of a strange dream of Famous. Afterward, he discussed it with Famous and agreed that this was not the ability to predict crises. Instead, Famous had originally suspected Guan Biao, and it had smelled the smell of sulfur in its sleep, so it subconsciously linked the two together … That was probably it.
He came to this conclusion because there were many inconsistencies between Famous's dream and reality. For example, in the open field, even if Guan Biao added extra sulfur to the cigarette cake, it was impossible to kill Famous and the two police dogs in a short time, and this was not what Guan Biao wanted.
Anyway, the crew would be much more stable now, and the shooting would be smoother in the future.
Red Dragon and Prince were taken back to reunite with their owners for two days, and they would be sent back after the shooting resumed.
Since he could not sleep, Zhang Zian simply got up.
Richard was covered with a small blanket, sleeping soundly with its mouth open. From time to time, it twitched its legs and smacked its lips. Since Zhang Zian found a blanket for it, it rarely snatched quilts from him. This guy did not stand properly, nor did it sleep properly. When it slept, it sniffed and smacked its lips, snored, and had all kinds of bad habits. If it had teeth, it would definitely grind them … Whenever this happened, Zhang Zian would always wake it up without hesitation.
Xinghai's ears shook. Hearing the sound of Zhang Zian putting on clothes, it raised its head from the crib and looked at him inquiringly with its silver-gray eyes.
Zhang Zian smiled and waved at Xinghai, then made a gesture of blindfold. These days, he had to go to work early in the morning, so he had no time to play hide-and-seek with it. Today, he should be able to play to his heart's content.
Xinghai happily wagged its tail, jumped down from the crib, and trotted to the bedroom door. Its two front paws opened the half-closed bedroom door, and it went downstairs to find the American Shorthair and Wendy to warm up.
Zhang Zian was speechless. Xinghai was a master of hide-and-seek. Even without warming up, it could still beat him … But as a shameless adult, he still had a secret skill — peeping to cheat during the countdown.
On the inside of the light gauze curtain, Fina opened its green eyes, looked at him with waning interest, and then closed them again. After a while, it opened its eyes again — this time, there were two eyes, with confusion in its eyes, as if it was asking, "Why are you not in a hurry to leave today?"
Zhang Zian sat on the edge of the bed, shrugged, stuck out his tongue, and stared at Fina, meaning that he did not need to go to the crew today, and could stay in the shop. He was not sure if it could understand his expression.
Fina stared at him for a long time, and finally seemed to understand what he meant. It turned over and turned its back to him.
Old Time Tea was still sleeping, with a slight smile on its face.
Zhang Zian put on his slippers and went to the bathroom. Snowy Lionet heard the noise and quickly got up from the blanket. When he came out of the bathroom, it tiptoed behind him, left the bedroom, and went to the kitchen.
He picked up a glass of water and was drinking, but Snowy Lionet pulled his pajama pants, "Meow! I want to eat raw beef brisket! "
Zhang Zian had to use one hand to grab the waist of his pants, or else his pants would be torn off.
"Too many things happened yesterday, and I forgot to buy beef brisket when I came back. It's okay if I don't eat it for a day, right?" he said.
"I don't care! I want to eat it every day! Otherwise, I will pull down your pants and castrate you! "Snowy Lionet pulled his pajama pants even harder, and showed its claws threateningly.
"Hey! If you castrate me, who will buy beef brisket for you? "Zhang Zian felt that he was really unlucky to meet this female cat! Why didn't any female human hooligan want to pull down my pants?
Snowy Lionet thought about it, and seemed to think that it was reasonable, so it loosened its claws, "Anyway, you have to buy raw beef brisket this morning, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"You are a freeloader, and you still have the face to threaten me?" Zhang Zian finally kept his pants, and said helplessly, "Do you know what a NEET is?"
"Sh * t?" Snowy Lionet blinked its sky blue eyes blankly, and repeated without understanding.
"A NEET is like you, staying at home, not going to school, and not working. In other words, you are a freeloader. Do you understand? I will call you a NEET cat from now on. "Zhang Zian gave it a nickname without permission.
"Pfft!" Snowy Lionet curled its lips disdainfully, "I have a job! My job is to serve Her Majesty the Queen! Besides, NEET cat doesn't sound good. If you want to call me, call me NEET meow! "
F * ck! I am not complimenting you!
This lazy cat was given a nickname, and it was not ashamed, but proud of it? Did it know what the eight honors and eight shames were?
Zhang Zian muttered in his heart as he went downstairs. After cleaning the shop a little, he saw Fina and Snowy Lionet go downstairs one after another, and jump on their exclusive cat tree.
"Hey? Why did you come down so early today? Do you usually come down when you smell barbecued meat? "he asked, leaning on the broom.
Fina stared at him impatiently, "I can come down whenever I want. You are just an ordinary person, mind your own business!"
"Well, you are right." Zhang Zian continued sweeping, and did not dwell on this issue.
After sweeping the floor, he practiced boxing with Old Time Tea as a warm-up, and played hide-and-seek with Xinghai upstairs and downstairs. He opened the shutter door outside the shop, made a pot of hot tea, and was about to sit on the reclining chair to rest when his phone suddenly rang.
It was not 8 o'clock in the morning, so normally no one would call at this time. The screen showed a strange number, and Zhang Zian picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Zian from the Amazing Fate Pet Shop?" It was a woman, and her tone was very polite and professional.
"Yes, that's right. May I ask where you are?" Zhang Zian asked.
The woman replied, "This is the VIP service hotline of Flying Pet Consignment Company. Flying Pet Consignment Company is a global pet consignment company. One of your pets will arrive in Binhai City today. Please leave someone at home to receive it. Now I need to check the address with you. Is it convenient for you? "
"One of my pets?" Zhang Zian was stunned, and then remembered something. "Is it an Ashera cat?"
A few days ago, Tim had called him and told him that he had successfully ordered an Ashera cat, and it would be shipped to China. Zhang Zian was a little worried at the time. He had never seen this kind of cat before, and he did not know its habits. He was supposed to stay at the shop to receive it, but the crew was busy and he could not ask for leave, so he planned to ask Lu Yiyun to sign for the delivery. He did not expect that the crew would take a break today, and the Ashera cat would arrive today. Now there was no problem.
The woman probably inquired about the details, paused for a moment, and replied, "Well... yes, it is an Ashera cat. The consignor bought a high consignment insurance for it, so our company's VIP line will provide full tracking service for you. I need to check the address with you now. "
"Okay." Zhang Zian told her the address of the pet shop.
After the verification, the woman said, "Okay, the address you provided is the same as the shipping note. Your cat will be delivered soon after it arrives in Binhai City. If you have any questions, please call this hotline at any time, and a VIP service specialist will answer for you. "
Ashera cats were expensive, and the seller was worried that there would be problems when the pet was shipped across the ocean, so he specially hired the top pet consignment company. Of course, the shipping cost was included in the price, and the buyer would pay for it. Tim had told Zhang Zian in advance, and Zhang Zian had asked for Lin Qi's opinion, and Lin Qi's answer was to transfer another sum of money to Zhang Zian... Rich people were so capricious.
