Under normal circumstances, Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yi Yun could deal with ordinary customers. They didn't need to call Zhang Zian downstairs. Since Richard flew upstairs to call him, it meant that they had encountered a customer with special requirements, or some acquaintances were looking for him.
Zhang Zian went downstairs and saw a girl about 27 or 28 years old walking slowly in the shop. She seemed to be looking at the pets in the shop with great interest.
Lu Yi Yun was sitting behind the cashier, summarizing yesterday's business report. Wang Qian was sweeping the floor with a broom. When he saw Zhang Zian coming down, he quietly approached him.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zian asked in a low voice.
Wang Qian pouted at the girl and replied in a low voice, "A customer who just came. I asked her what pet she wanted, and she said anything."
Zhang Zian said, "Then what did you say?"
Wang Qian answered honestly, "I said we don't sell 'anything.'"
Zhang Zian was speechless.
Anyone who was serious about doing business was actually afraid of customers saying "anything."
"Anything" sounded like there were no requirements, but having no requirements was actually the highest requirement. It was like writing an essay in the college entrance examination. Everyone liked the scope of the topic to be as clear as possible. If one day the college entrance examination essay was "write anything", many students would probably vomit blood on the spot …
Or, for a blind date that they had only met a few times, if the girl said "anything," the man would lose countless brain cells, wondering whether the girl was really "anything" or just saying it casually. If it was the former, it would be fine. If it was the latter, and he really took her to a roadside shop to eat the cheapest beef ramen or braised pork, this would probably be the last time they met …
If a customer said "anything" in a restaurant, the shop owner could serve her the shop's specialty. But if she came to a pet shop to buy a pet, did she have to randomly sell one to her?
Wang Qian was a straightforward person and didn't like to beat around the bush. When he met such a customer, even if she was a girl, he wouldn't be nice to her. Of course, the atmosphere was awkward, so Richard flew up to ask Zhang Zian to come down to help.
In fact, it was not Wang Qian's fault. When a customer came to a pet shop and said "anything," everyone would think that the customer had no sincerity to buy a pet and was too lazy to greet them.
Zhang Zian tilted his head and looked outside the shop. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and there were more and more pedestrians outside. Some were going to work, some were going to school, some were doing business, and some had nothing to do. Few customers came to the pet shop so early.
He looked at the girl's back. Her clothes were a little baggy and did not fit her well. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, but the quality of her hair did not seem to be very good. Her hair was slightly sparse, and from the way she dressed, she seemed to be an ordinary person.
Today was a workday. Didn't this young lady need to go to school or work?
Or could it be said that she was a fan of Famous and came for Famous, but was too embarrassed to admit it? Not at all.
She moved her feet slowly, looking at the pets in the shop. Her walking speed was very uniform, and she did not show any special preference for any kind of cat or dog, nor did she show any special interest in Famous. She did not look like she was visiting a pet shop, but more like she was looking at a cultural relic.
In order to let her be mentally prepared, Zhang Zian deliberately put his footsteps very heavy and walked towards her step by step.
She heard the footsteps, and her long hair swayed as she looked back.
"Hello, my surname is Zhang, and I am the store manager of this shop. How can I help you?" Zhang Zian said. "Or do you want to look around first?"
Taking the opportunity to speak, his eyes roved over her face.
Her appearance was also very ordinary — no matter whether others believed it or not, he was used to seeing Sihwa's perfect face, and looking at an ordinary face of an ordinary person, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
In addition to her ordinary appearance, the color of her skin was relatively dim. Although she had slightly put on makeup, it still could not hide the few traces of sadness between her eyebrows.
In addition, Zhang Zian also noticed that the skin on her neck was a little loose, which should not appear on a young person of this age.
She smiled. "Boss, I want to buy a pet."
Her voice was weak and slightly hoarse, and it seemed that she was not energetic enough.
"Okay, then which kind do you like? Cats or dogs? Or are you interested in saltwater fish, corals, and the like? "Zhang Zian asked.
"Uh … Forget about fish. Cats and dogs are fine." She hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Okay, then do you like cats or dogs?" Zhang Zian asked.
"I like both," she said. Her expression did not seem to be perfunctory. "I have wanted to raise a pet for a long time, whether it is a cat or a dog, but I have always been unable to because of some reasons. Today, I can finally put everything aside and fulfill my wish …"
She was smiling, but her smile was not the kind of smile that was very happy. Instead, it made people feel very lonely.
Zhang Zian raised his hand to indicate the kittens that were chasing and playing in the shop, and the puppies that were waiting in the display cabinets. "There are many types of cats and dogs in this shop. Which kind do you like better?"
Sure enough, she said again without hesitation, "Any kind is fine."
Zhang Zian was already mentally prepared. He said reluctantly, "If you are not sure, would you like to look around again? Choosing a pet depends on fate. Maybe you will find the pet you want after looking around … "
She turned her head and quickly glanced at the pets in the shop. She said embarrassedly, "I just want to raise a pet. Any kind is fine. Boss, please help me choose one, as long as it is easy to raise."
Zhang Zian observed her expression and felt that she was not just saying that casually. It seemed that she really wanted to raise a pet. Every pet in the shop was expensive, and she did not look like a rich second generation. Why was she so generous?
"Sorry, if you have not thought about it, you can come back next time when you have thought about it." Zhang Zian's tone implied that he wanted her to leave.
She was stunned and very surprised. She said emotionally, "Do you think I am joking? I really want to raise a pet! "
"I know." Zhang Zian nodded. "But I still suggest that you come back next time when you have thought about it. If you want to raise a pet on impulse, you will most likely regret it later. It is not a good choice for either the pet or you. You will waste money, and the pet will be forced to change owners. After changing owners two or three times, it will either be abused or live on the street. You will also feel bad about it. "
In the past, when his parents ran the pet shop, he had seen some customers buy pets on impulse, but soon found that they were not suitable for raising pets. They were not really ready to raise a pet, so they came to the shop and asked to return the pet. If they could not return it, they would give it to their relatives or friends.
So, since he started running the pet shop, he tried his best to avoid such things. Even if he lost some business because of this, he insisted on the principle of not casually raising pets.
