After signing the contract, Tang Yuyun left as if a weight had been lifted off her mind. Zhang Zian was suddenly very curious about how she, who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, bought clothes and bags. Did she go straight to the factory?
After she left, the store was quiet again. Lu Yiyun sat behind the cashier and focused on drawing. During the New Year, there were still very few people on the street, and even fewer people would walk into the store.
Zhang Zian looked around and found that there was nothing to do, so he walked up to the second floor.
"Quack! You heartless guy, what did I do to annoy you today? Why did you hang me up? "Richard was hanging upside down from the ceiling of the living room on the second floor, flapping its wings.
Zhang Zian thought for a moment. It didn't seem to cause any trouble today, so he answered, "You didn't annoy me. You just had nothing better to do."
"You just had nothing better to do, so you hung me up? You're a sadist! "Richard was inexplicably sad and angry.
He said confidently, "There's not a day when you don't get into trouble, so I hung you up. It's a punishment in advance …"
"Punishment in advance for mistakes that others haven't made yet? Young man, that's a dangerous way of thinking! "Richard shouted.
"Okay, then I'll untie you." Zhang Zian pulled a stool over and untied the nylon rope that tied its claws.
Richard could finally stand on its feet and head. It looked at him suspiciously, "You're so nice for no reason! You're so nice today. Do you have something to ask of me? "
"Haha." Zhang Zian thought that it had guessed right.
"Do you remember Cathy that you met in the CFA competition?" he asked. "The one whose full name is Kathryn Donna Ryan?"
Richard was busy combing its messy feathers with its beak. It said disdainfully, "Of course I remember! Don't think that I'm an idiot like you! Isn't her portrait placed downstairs now? "
"Well, do you remember the way she spoke? The accent, I mean? "he asked again.
Richard rolled its eyes, "Something like that. What do you want?"
When he met Cathy in the CFA arena, Richard stood on his shoulder in an invisible state and communicated with Cathy for him, so it remembered the voice and smile of the old American lady very clearly.
"Cathy changed her will before she died. I don't know why, but she decided to leave these Abyssinian cats to me, but … I didn't do anything for her, and I can't sleep or eat well. I want to do something to make it up to her," Zhang Zian said seriously.
"Interesting, you also feel uneasy? But I think you slept well last night … "Richard said disdainfully.
"Of course. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. Speaking of which, I remember Lawyer Adams said that Cathy had no direct children. She gave me her cat in her will and donated her other assets to the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation … That seems to be the name, right? And it's designated for research on lung cancer. " Zhang Zian recalled, "In the CFA arena, she seemed to have said that her husband died of lung cancer. I think this was the reason why she decided to do what she could to free more people from the pain of lung cancer."
Richard also became serious. He didn't interrupt and listened silently.
"I don't know how much money she has. She was dressed plainly in the CFA arena. Even if she has some money, it may not be much … In fact, even if she is a millionaire, a multimillionaire, or even a billionaire, that amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for curing lung cancer, but she still decided to do it," he continued.
"So what do you want me to do?" Richard asked.
Zhang Zian stated his intentions. "I just pre-sold an Abyssinian kitten and sold it for 30,000 yuan. I calculated that after deducting the relevant costs, the net profit is about 4,000 US dollars … Although the money is not much, I want to donate it to the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation in the name of Cathy. So I hope you can imitate her voice and call the foundation. "
Richard jumped on the table and paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.
"That was just a pre-sale." After a moment, it reminded him, "You said that after deducting the costs, the net profit is 4,000 US dollars, so the cost is only 700 US dollars? Not to mention the cost of international postage and genetic screening, and the consumption of canned cat food and cat litter, even if we only consider the cost of buying the shoe store and renovations, it should be more than 700 US dollars, right? And what about the labor costs? "
"Of course I know that," Zhang Zian said easily. "However, I didn't buy the shoe store next door for Cathy and those cats. I wanted to expand my business scope. Even without those cats, I would still have bought it. After all, I can't be complacent when it comes to doing business. It's only a matter of time before I expand."
This reason seemed to be convincing, but it was not enough. Richard looked at him deeply. "The customer will not pay the balance until three months later, right? Three months is a long time, and anything can happen. Maybe the customer will regret it, or maybe she will cancel the deal. Canceling the deal will only cost her some deposit, but once the donation is donated, there is no way to cancel it. If it were me, it would be wiser to wait until the deal is finalized before making a decision. "
Zhang Zian admitted that what Richard said was very reasonable, but he still insisted, "Do you doubt my ability to do business? In my opinion, it is unlikely that the customer will cancel the deal. "
"Is there any other reason?" Richard asked persistently. "If that's all, you should tie my feet and make the call yourself, so that you won't regret it in the future and vent your anger on me!"
Zhang Zian was speechless. Am I that kind of narrow-minded man?
"Okay. In fact, there is another reason. When Lawyer Adams showed me the power of attorney for the execution of the will, I noticed that Cathy's birthday is today, and I want to give her a birthday present. " He said the most important reason. "You know, if you give a birthday present late, I am afraid it is very impolite to a lady."
Richard was silent. It roughly understood Zhang Zian's intention. Some things could not be further investigated, such as why Zhang Zian decided to donate in Cathy's name, and why Cathy would give the cats that she had raised for many years to a Chinese man who she met by chance. This might be fate.
Fate was too wonderful for words.
It flapped its wings and cried, "Quack! Then what are you waiting for? Go and find the phone number of the cancer research foundation. Let's play a game of resurrection! "
