Chapter 453: Guest Shows up
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The way Ting Ying was talking and behaving seemed strange, and both Zhang Zian and Luo Qingyu felt a little awkward dealing with her. Luckily, she had chosen what she wanted quickly and went to go check out.
She bought a lot of different things. Zhang Zian wanted to ask her whether she needed express delivery, but she asked first. "Mr. Store Manager, do you have shopping bags here?"
"No." Zhang Zian shook his head.
"Really? What a shame." In the movie Nine Lives, shopping bags printed with the name Purrkins Pet Shop were provided to its customers.
Zhang Zian didn't know why it was such a shame. What's the use of them? He thought, Nowadays everyone is advocating for environmental protection, and plastic bags pollute the environment...
"Mr. Store Manager, I have a suggestion," she advised seriously. "You should find someone on the internet to customize paper tote bags for you and give them to your customers for free. When customers buy a certain number of items, they can put their products in the bag and carry it home. This is what a lot of prominent small stores do. It doesn't cost much, but it's an effective way to promote your store. For example, wouldn't it be nice to print the name, address, and logo of your shop on the front, and a huge QR code on the back of the tote bag? When customers carry the bags on the street, they're practically advertising for you."
D*mn it! What an excellent idea! Zhang Zian surprisingly exclaimed to himself. He was also annoyed that he hadn't thought of the idea before on his own. Especially the idea of printing a QR code on the back of the bag. There's always somebody who can't help but scan it. How many free advertising opportunities he had missed? How many times he had let the chance of becoming a billionaire slip by?
Ting Ying pointed to Lu Yiyun who was burying her head into her drawing. "This is just my advice, as for the specific design of the front of the tote bag, you should absolutely invite Yun to finish it. She is such a good artist, and she also has beautiful handwriting. I'm sure she can design an extraordinary original tote bag."
Zhang Zian excitedly made a decision, "Your suggestion is just wonderful! My previous plan was to give you 20% off, but I will give you 25% off now!"
Luo Qingyu couldn't help but chime in, "Just give her 30% off. Why only 25% off?"
"I will suffer too much loss if I give her 30% off." Zhang Zian rolled his eyes at Luo Qingyu.
Ting Ying was much happier than he was. To some extent, she felt like she had become a part of this pet shop. Through the advertising, more people would be able to find happiness here. It was also the exact reason that she immediately said yes when Zhang Zian asked her if she wanted to become a member of the pet shop. She left her contact information and made an agreement with Zhang Zian that when the tote bags were made, she would be the first one to receive a free tote bag.
Lu Yiyun raised her head confusingly when she heard her name mentioned in their conversation. She didn't know what they were talking about, but they looked at her from time to time. She was a bit shy, and she quickly helped Ting Ying handle the membership card and checkout procedure.
At that time, a van parked beside the sidewalk. A courier wearing a cap and a uniform took out the waybill to check it carefully, and then looked at the sign of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. After confirming that this was the correct place, he jumped off the van and quickly walked into the store.
In order to show that he still existed, and to make Zhang Zian owe him another favor, the clamorous Luo Qingyu suggested various poor ideas, but all his ideas were rejected by Zhang Zian.
"Is Mr. Zhang Zian here?" the courier asked.
"That's me." Zhang Zian took two steps toward the courier. He didn't recognize the uniform of the courier company.

The courier straightened his cap and glanced at Zhang Zian, then said in a business-like tone, "Because it is a valuable item, please show me some ID."
Zhang Zian took out his wallet and presented his driver's license.
Luo Qingyu temporarily closed his mouth. He was somewhat curious about the so-called "valuable item." Could it be an inflatable doll imported from Japan? he thought.
The courier confirmed Zhang Zian's identity and said, "Please wait, I'll bring in the goods."
"Let me help you." Zhang Zian knew that it must be the Ashera cat, so he followed the courier outside. The courier thanked, unlocked the compartment, and pulled open the door.
Just as Zhang Zian expected, what greeted him was an aviation wooden box approved by the United States Department of Agriculture. Although he knew there was only one cat in the box, the box was not much smaller than the box loaded with seven Abyssinian cats.
He did not go to Jinmen Airport to pick up the box this time. Firstly, his schedule did not allow him to do so. Secondly, he dared not recklessly pick it up because there were so many unknown details about the Ashera cat. What if it bit him when he put his hand into the box to pick it up? He also couldn't put it in his phone since the shipping employee was there. He helped the courier, and together they carried the wooden box into the store.
Seeing such a big box, to which a waybill and photo was solemnly attached, as well as the symbol of the United States Department of Agriculture on it, both Ting Ying and Luo Qingyu were curious about what on earth was inside the box.
The courier opened the box and said, "Please check it."
Zhang Zian looked inside and found a white plastic cage. In the dark box, a vigorous, leopard-like beast was staring straight at him. Its eyes were light green and exuded a wild luster. Each of its temples had an arc-shaped black line, and it looked much like a cloud leopard.
"Holy s**t! What the hell is this thing?!" Luo Qingyu took a peak from the side and exclaimed, but also instinctively lifted his camera to take pictures. Zhang Zian saw that the camera's flash was on, so he quickly pushed Luo Qingyu aside.
"Wow! What is this? A cheetah?" After only one glance, Ting Ying was so scared that she took a few steps back and was too afraid to look at it again.
Although this was also the first time that Zhang Zian saw this new type of cat, he had done enough homework in advance. After careful observation, he confirmed that it was indeed the Ashera cat that he ordered.
After Zhang Zian signed to acknowledge that the cat had been delivered, the courier was relieved and helped him open the wooden box, exposing the Ashera cat to the lights in the store.
From the dark wooden box to the bright room, the Ashera cat couldn't adjust to the sudden change in environment, and its expression seemed hesitant and timid. Swinging its two large ears disproportionate to the size of its head, it carefully observed its new environment. It uttered a cry similar to that of a baby, which was not quite the same as other house cats.
This cry was so peculiar that even Lu Yiyun, who was focused on her painting, shuddered. Looking away from the screen, she stared incredulously at this Ashera cat, and asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Store Manager, is this the Ashera cat? It looks so fierce!" Her Jasmine was lying on her lap and nervously watching the uninvited guest.
"Ashera cat?" It was the first time Luo Qingyu and Ting Ying had heard this term.
Just as Zhang Zian started to explain, he saw that Fina, who had also been disturbed by the peculiar cry, had jumped off of the cat tree and appeared beside the automatic sensor door, looking the wild Ashera cat in its eyes.
