Famous refused to join the game no matter what, so Zhang Zian had to play hide and seek with Xinghai and Pi for a while before starting to clean up. When he went out to take out the trash, he saw Xiao Zhuang walk out of Mr. and Mrs. Li's snack bar. She was also carrying a black garbage bag, which she placed at the designated garbage collection point at the entrance. He and Xiao Zhuang saw each other and waved at each other across the street.
Xiao Zhuang returned to the shop to continue her volunteer work. Zhang Zian was about to return to the shop when he heard rhythmic footsteps coming from the side of the street, as well as the sound of heavy breathing.
He turned his head to look. Unsurprisingly, it was Masanori Suzuhara running with her Snoopy in the morning. She was wearing tight compression pants and a loose, warm sportswear. There were reflective strips on her shoes and clothes to warn of passing cars.
"Happy New Year!" Masanori Suzuhara didn't stop. She kept running and greeted Zhang Zian with a smile.
"Happy New Year, but I remember that your traditional New Year is New Year's Day, right?" he replied.
"Yes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do." Masanori Suzuhara laughed. "But I really like China's New Year. I grabbed so many red envelopes that I couldn't stop! I didn't wake up on time the next morning. "
"No wonder. I was wondering why I didn't see you running on the morning of New Year's Day." Zhang Zian was relieved. If he saw someone running in front of the shop every day and then suddenly didn't see her for a whole day, he felt like he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Oh, I have something to say today." Masanori Suzuhara kept running to keep her body warm. Her expression became serious. "The company just sent me a message. Because Japan's time zone is one hour ahead of China, the company is already at work. They told me that the automatic dog washer has been shipped and will arrive in China soon. After attending a one-day technology exhibition, it will be delivered here. Please be prepared to receive it. "
Masanori Suzuhara planned to accept the internship invitation from the Japanese biotechnology company. She spoke as if she was a prospective employee.
"No problem. I can accept it anytime." Zhang Zian was overjoyed. Due to the impact of the Love Lovely Pets incident, even though it was the new year, the shop was too quiet. There was not a single customer, and it was really panicking.
Masanori Suzuhara added, "In the past, the coin slot device could only accept Japanese currency. The company is currently upgrading it so that it can accept RMB in the future. However, due to the tight schedule, there might be a bug … If you find any irregularities after receiving it, the company can remotely fix it online."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your consideration. It would be more down-to-earth if I could pay with Alipay or WeChat … "Zhang Zian laughed. Of course, he knew that he couldn't ask for too much.
"There's no other way." Masanori Suzuhara shook her head helplessly. "In terms of mobile payments, Japan is too far behind China. I don't even need to bring cash when I go out now. I only need to bring a portable card holder with my passport and dog-raising license inside. If I didn't take Snoopy out with me, I wouldn't even need to bring my dog license. It's really easy after I get used to it. "
"This can also be considered as overtaking at the bend." Zhang Zian felt a sense of pride in his heart. He had also heard that the penetration rate of mobile payments in China was almost the highest in the world.
"Well, the company said that because the style and weight of change in China and Japan are not the same, there may be problems when giving change. Therefore, it's better to set the price of each dog wash as a whole number, such as 50, 100, or 150, to avoid giving change," she added.
Zhang Zian nodded. He hadn't figured out how to set the price yet. If Masanori Suzuhara hadn't reminded him, he might have set the price to 99 or 199 — 199 for cats and big dogs, 99 for puppies. In that case, he might as well set it to 200 or 100. If customers didn't bring cash, they could transfer the money online at the cashier and exchange it for the corresponding cash. As Masanori Suzuhara had said, it was normal for young people in China not to bring cash when they went out.
This price was slightly more expensive than most pet shops' manual baths, but it included the cost of tasting the new dogs. Considering the cost of introducing the machine and the cost of maintenance, it was basically not profitable.
After Masanori Suzuhara finished telling Zhang Zian what she needed to do, she bowed slightly to Zhang Zian and continued to run with Snoopy.
"Boss …"
Although Zhang Zian didn't know if she was calling him, he instinctively turned around.
A young woman who looked like an office worker stood behind him. Her makeup was exquisite, and she was holding a designer bag in her hand. She seemed to want to say something, but stopped.
"You are …"
Zhang Zian had seen her before. She was probably a customer who had been to his shop before.
"I've reserved an Abyssinian cat from your shop before," she said directly. "I saw on your WeChat account that the kittens have been born, so I wanted to take a look. It would be even better if I could choose one."
"Sure, come in with me." Zhang Zian took her into the shop and checked her reservation certificate. It said that her name was Tang Yuyun, and she was one of the first people who had reserved an Abyssinian cat.
"There's something I need to clarify in advance," he emphasized after checking the certificate.
Tang Yuyun listened carefully.
"I've said before that the shop will call to notify the person who made the reservation to come and choose a cat, but I didn't expect you to come so early. In fact, I don't recommend coming so early, because the kittens are not fully grown yet, and you can't see anything wrong with them, "he said. "Also … they are too young, and there's a possibility that they will die. If you choose one now, and it dies before it can grow up, you'll have picked it for nothing."
Tang Yuyun thought for a moment, and laughed at herself. "It's okay. I'm actually a bit of a germaphobe. I don't like people picking leftovers, whether it's buying groceries or buying stuff. If there's only leftovers left, I'd rather not buy it."
Zhang Zian was speechless. In fact, he liked to buy groceries at the market before closing. When the vendors were in a hurry to go home, the prices would be cut in half. Even though the leftovers were leftovers, he could still get a bargain …
She knew that her personality was a bit weird, and said helplessly, "This personality has brought me a lot of trouble, but I can't change it. I like cats, but I haven't had one. Most of the cats in the pet shop and the cattery are leftovers. Maybe not, but I always doubt it. In this case, I can only find a newborn kitten, right? I've also asked my colleagues if anyone wants to sell or give away a newborn kitten, and they must let me pick it first. But there's a problem … The pedigree of domestic cats is usually not very pure, right? I'm still worried, and I still want to raise a purebred cat. Since I'm raising one, I won't regret it. "
"Oh, because of this, I haven't been able to find a boyfriend. I always feel like I'm a leftover …" she said awkwardly.
Zhang Zian really wanted to say that she could only go to kindergarten to find a boyfriend …
