Zhang Zian stood next to Sihwa and listened for a while. He saw that she was slowly letting go of her sense of shame and was immersed in learning Pinyin. He was worried that he would distract her by standing there, so he quietly left the bathroom and closed the door.
"Pi, I'm sorry. She's reading in there. Will she disturb you?" he said to Pi apologetically.
"Eeek."
Pi grinned and pointed at the keyboard, meaning that it was okay. Only its typing sound would disturb her.
Zhang Zian stood behind Pi and watched it write a novel for a while. He asked if it had encountered any problems during the writing process recently. After getting an answer that everything was normal, he felt relieved and went downstairs.
When he came to the first floor and walked past Old Time Tea, Old Time Tea's eyes moved away from the TV screen. It squinted its eyes and looked upstairs as if it was enjoying it. It said, "It's so nice to hear the sound of reading again."
"I hope she can persevere," he replied as if to himself.
Old Time Tea pointed at the TV screen for him to look.
The TV was playing the local news, and it was a report from online media.
The female host said with a smile, "Recently, everyone knows that there is a celebrity in this city. His dog actually won the Best Actor Laurel at the Berlin Film Festival. But did you know? He is also a good young man who is kind and passionate about public welfare. Please watch the detailed report below. "
The TV screen changed.
What appeared next was the picture of Eddy Lewis coming to the pet shop that day. There was a watermark of "Global Entertainment" in the lower right corner of the screen. Just by hearing the name, people who didn't know better would think that it was a heavyweight media outlet.
The female reporter who made things difficult for Zhang Zian for the donation fraud had changed. Under the introduction of the voiceover, it was as if she had received exclusive news and came to witness the arrival of the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation. She didn't mention her previous doubts about Zhang Zian at all. The video was edited flawlessly. If Zhang Zian hadn't been there at the time, he would have believed that she was a good reporter with a keen sense of news and full of compassion.
In the video, Eddy Lewis described the process of Zhang Zian donating under his name, and the female reporter was so moved that she burst into tears. The video was obviously reshot later, but after editing, it looked like she was crying at the scene.
Zhang Zian shook his head again and again. These media reporters were really powerful. This female reporter had finally created the big news she wanted. It was estimated that she would become famous this time.
At least the Amazing Fate Pet Shop's signboard appeared in her video. Let's just take it as an advertisement.
After the video ended, the camera cut back to the studio.
The female host smiled and said, "After reading this news, does everyone feel that it's not enough? Do you want to know more about this city's new celebrity and his Best Actor dog? Tonight, this station will bring you reporter Liu Ying's exclusive feature report, "The Final Battle in Berlin: Zhang Zian and Famous's Road to Best Actor!" In the program, the behind-the-scenes footage of Dog Warrior that everyone wants to know will be presented in full in front of your eyes. Everyone is welcome to tune in! Next news — Whales have been spotted in the sea off the coast of our city. Experts from the capital have come to our city to inspect the condition of the whales … "
Just as Zhang Zian was about to point out that the photo on the cover of the report was not handsome enough, he saw a car parked on the side of the road outside the pet shop.
The car's engine was not turned off, and the window was rolled down. Sun Xiaomeng waved at him to come over.
Old Time Tea continued to watch the news, and Zhang Zian quickly walked out of the shop.
"What's up?"
He skipped the small talk and asked directly.
Sun Xiaomeng took out a box and handed it to him.
"What is this? A gift for me? What festival is it today? "Zhang Zian asked in confusion." You said that we know each other very well, why are you still so polite … "
"Daydreaming Festival!" She rolled her eyes. "This is the ashes of that cat. I just got it from the pet funeral service."
"Oh …"
Zhang Zian finally understood.
The box in his hand was unexpectedly light. No matter how big or heavy it was when it was alive, it was still unbelievably light after turning into ashes.
It was not the first time he had held ashes.
Since it was only 200 yuan for cremation, the urn that came with it was not very high-end. It was just a gray and black plastic box.
Sun Xiaomeng did not say much and handed him a piece of paper. On the paper was the relevant cremation certificate.
"I don't know the cat owner's house, so I can only bring it to you," she said. "You can call the cat owner and ask her to come and get it."
Zhang Zian nodded. "Okay, thank you."
"I still have something to do. I have to go." She waved goodbye and drove away. She did not roll up the window. After all, it was spring now.
It was not the first time that Sun Xiaomeng had euthanized a pet, nor was it the first time that she had brought ashes back. If possible, she did not want to face the sad eyes of the pet owner.
Zhang Zian returned to the pet shop with the urn. Wang Qian curiously stared at the urn and asked, "Master, what delicious food is this?"
"Eat your head! It's the ashes of Liu Wenying's cat, "Zhang Zian said.
Wang Qian stuck out his tongue and quietly slipped away to work.
"Hmph, it's better to be a mummy." Fina opened its eyes and muttered. It then closed its eyes and continued to sleep.
Zhang Zian did not answer. He first tried to contact Liu Wenying on WeChat, but after sending a few messages, there was no response. He ordered, "Xiao Yun, help me find Liu Wenying's phone number."
Lu Yi Yun opened the customer's file on the computer and read Liu Wenying's phone number.
At that moment, Li Kun rushed over from the aquarium next door and asked, "Master! A customer likes the fish that Welder Zhao ordered and wants to buy it. Do you think we should keep it for Welder Zhao? It's been a few days, and he hasn't come to pick it up … "
Zhang Zian was speechless.
Indeed, the aquarium had been open for a few days. Welder Zhao said that he would come back in a few days and that he would give a definite reply whether he bought it or not. However, he never returned.
Such customers were not rare. In fact, Zhang Zian had already done his best by waiting for the past few days. There was no need to keep it and delay his business.
He also had Welder Zhao's WeChat, so he sent a message to ask. Strangely, like Liu Wenying, Welder Zhao did not reply.
Liu Wenying had lost her beloved cat and was facing the potential threat of rabies. It was understandable that she did not reply, but why did Welder Zhao not reply?
After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "Xiao Yun, find me Liu Wenying's and Welder Zhao's addresses. I have nothing to do at the moment, so I'll go there myself."
Lu Yi Yun found the two addresses and sent them to his phone.
