After Electrician Wu and Welder Zhao left, there was nothing else to do in the aquarium. After this period of training, Jiang Feifei and Li Kun were able to deal with the guests better. They were also able to answer simple questions about aquatic creatures, so Zhang Zian did not need to pay attention to them all the time.
When he returned to the pet shop, he was surprised to see another acquaintance standing in the shop.
Wang Qian's attitude towards other customers was to imitate Zhang Zian's coldness. He didn't take the initiative to promote pets to other customers, but he didn't dare to neglect this customer. He followed behind and served him carefully.
Lu Yi Yun was the same. Usually, when there was no customer paying the bill, she would just focus on painting. But now, she was staring at the customer without blinking.
Seeing Zhang Zian come in, Wang Qian frowned and winked at him, meaning to quickly send this customer away. It would be troublesome if he got sick again in the shop.
This was none other than Chu Manhua, who had fainted in front of the shop a few days ago. She had diabetes, and the last time she fainted due to hypoglycemia, everyone panicked. Fortunately, Masanori Suzuhara, who was passing by, woke her up and sent her to the ambulance.
At the time, the mini poodle in the shop had sniffed out the signs of her hypoglycemia, so she wanted to buy it. Zhang Zian agreed, but because she had to follow the ambulance to the hospital for a check-up, she couldn't take the mini poodle with her for the time being. They agreed to come back when her condition was stable.
Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun looked as if they were facing a great enemy. It was because they were afraid that she would suffer from hypoglycemia again and were ready to rescue her at any time.
Famous, who was always napping or surrounded by fans, also noticed her. It sniffed her with great interest, then shook its head in disappointment. It didn't smell anything unusual.
Chu Manhua was a little afraid of a dog as big as Famous. Fortunately, Famous returned to its original position after sniffing.
"Doggy, come here."
She squatted down and waved at the mini poodle, but the mini poodle seemed to have forgotten about her and ignored her call. Instead, it was very interested in the leftover cat food in the food bowl and wanted to take a few bites.
Hearing Zhang Zian's footsteps, she turned her head and smiled. "Hello, Store Manager Zhang. I'm here to buy this mini poodle."
Since they had already agreed, Zhang Zian signaled Lu Yi Yun to handle the pet sale procedures for her.
At this moment, a figure flashed by the door, followed by the sound of knocking.
"Hey … That … Can I ask about something?"
Zhang Zian and the others turned their heads and saw an old lady about 80 years old standing outside the door. She was leaning on a bamboo cane. Her hair was all silver, and she only had a few teeth left. Her face was full of wrinkles, and her skin was dark. She was wearing a loose, dark purple shirt and a pair of black, wide-necked pants. Her feet were wearing black cloth shoes. The style was very old, but they were very clean, so she didn't look sloppy.
The old lady held a cane in her right hand and a Pomeranian with a string in her left hand.
The Pomeranian was about three to four months old. It looked listless and did not run around or bark.
Zhang Zian and Wang Qian looked at each other and complained in their hearts at the same time. Why were all the people who came today old and weak?
The old lady was very old, and her body was not strong. She looked like she could fall at any time. She was by far the oldest customer in the pet shop.
She went out alone at such an old age, without any family or friends accompanying her. It was very worrying for her. With the fragile bones of the elderly, if she accidentally fell, it was very likely that she would break a bone.
Zhang Zian and the others complained in their hearts, but they had to receive the guests. They couldn't just turn them away, right?
"Old lady, what can I do for you?" Zhang Zian quickly walked to the door and waved his hand. "Please come in. Be careful, the steps may be slippery."
"Ah, no need. I won't go in. I just want to ask a few questions. I'll just stand at the door." The old lady waved her hand shakily. Because her teeth were exposed, she could not speak clearly. Her speech was not very clear, and she also had a strong accent. Zhang Zian struggled to understand her.
"You'd better come in. There are people coming and going outside. It would not be good if they bumped into you," Zhang Zian advised.
Because it was rush hour, the pedestrians on Zhonghua Road were all in a hurry, especially some naughty children who were late for school. They ran as fast as they could, not caring whether they would bump into others or not.
"Then … then I'll go in. Come on, be good and follow grandma into the house." She gently pulled the Pomeranian, took small steps, and slowly stepped up the steps. Her movements were slow like a robot, and it made people feel nervous for her.
Zhang Zian took a few steps forward, wanting to help her, but his arm was pulled by someone.
He looked back and saw that it was Wang Qian who pulled him.
Wang Qian desperately winked at him, showing his teeth and mouthing. He knew without asking that he was saying, "Master, don't help her. Be careful, she might be a scammer!"
To be honest, Zhang Zian had similar concerns. After all, there were a lot of such things happening these days. However, when he saw the Pomeranian, he felt that he might have been worrying too much. He had never seen anyone bring a pet to scam others, and he always thought that, generally speaking, there were no bad people who liked pets, at least not to the bone.
So, he gently shook his head, shook off Wang Qian's arm, took a step forward, took the Pomeranian's rope from the old lady, held her left arm, and said, "Old lady, be careful, I'll help you in."
"Thank you, thank you …" the old lady said hurriedly, "Old people are always annoying, and others can't wait to avoid them …"
Zhang Zian helped her up the steps, winked at Wang Qian, and asked him to bring a chair over.
Wang Qian quickly brought over a chair with a backrest and carefully handed it over. Then, he hid far away as if he was afraid he wouldn't be able to.
Chu Manhua and Lu Yi Yun, who were handling the pet sale procedures, also looked at them curiously.
Zhang Zian asked the old lady to sit down on the chair, then let go of his hand, straightened his back, and took a long breath. He felt that these few short steps were much more tiring than running ten thousand meters …
The old lady placed her crutches on her thighs, narrowed her eyes, and looked inside the pet shop. She kept saying, "Good, good, this shop is so beautiful, and it makes people feel comfortable … This little girl is also really beautiful, with a smooth and oily face …"
Chu Manhua and Lu Yi Yun didn't know who she was talking about, and they both lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Old lady, in fact, I am also very handsome, and my face is very smooth and oily. Didn't you notice?" Zhang Zian pointed to his face and reminded her.
The old lady said, "… Yes, my old eyes are blurry, and I just saw it. Child, you are so handsome! "
Zhang Zian, whose vanity was satisfied, was finally happy. He asked, "Old lady, what did you want to ask before?"
"Oh, I want to ask about this dog." The old lady looked at her Pomeranian lovingly.
