Pet King

t, but I eat a lot.
I could eat an entire horse for lunch.
If the modernization process of the country is delayed because of a glutton like me, would you take responsibility? ”　　

A guy at the next table commented cleverly, ”Eating an entire horse for lunch? Are you an animal? ”　　

The witty remark made a lot of customers laugh, including a few girls.

Zhang Zian wasn ’t upset.
He looked at the guy with admiration.　　

The girl in front of him finally realized that Zhang Zian was ridiculing her.
Her face turned blue with anger.　　

Zhang Zian was afraid of pissing her off too much, so he coughed.
”Actually, I understand your reasoning.
But I sell pets for a living.
If you support adopting over buying, you should tell people who are planning on getting a pet.
It ’s useless to tell me.
As I said, I support adopting over buying, and I completely agree with you.
So you don ’t need to try to convince me anymore. ” 　　

She was grinding her teeth in anger.
”It ’s exactly because of people like you that the people of this nation aren ’t becoming more civilized! And you! ” She pointed at the guy who had made the witty remark, then at another guy who had laughed the loudest.
”You ’re all responsible! ”　　

Crap!　　

The two innocent guys were shocked and confused.
It had just been a joke, and now she was hitting them with exaggerated accusations? The wisest move for them should be getting sympathy from everyone, right?　　

”Well, did you misunderstand something? Even in other countries, a lot of people are buying pets instead of adopting them! ” Zhang Zian said.
”Pick a country that you consider to be the most civilized, and ask 100 random citizens to choose between Ragdolls and Mongrel cats free of charge.
I think most of them would still choose Ragdolls.
But in reality, if they want a Ragdoll, they have to buy one.
I don ’t think there are free Ragdolls up for adoption.
Even if there are some, it ’s extremely rare. ” 　

There was a similar misconception that no foreigners would buy pirated DVDs or counterfeit brands.
When really, many foreigners visiting China bought pirated or counterfeit stuff intentionally on Silk Street in Beijing.
At the end of the day, there had to be a balance between authenticity and cost.

Zhang Zian just wanted to quietly finish his lunch, wait for Old Time Tea and Famous, and rely on the other customers to stand up for him.
Otherwise, he would have left a long time ago and never would have continued the pointless conversation between them.
However, the girl wasn ’t willing to let go so easily.
She wanted to shut down his pet shop to satisfy her own hatred.　　

Two girls who had come together finished their lunch, paid their bill, and left, freeing up a table.
Aunt Li quickly came over to clean up.　

Before the door had closed, it was grabbed by a pair of hands and opened again.
A young couple walked in.
　　

The boy held the door open for his girlfriend and closed it only after she was inside.
He took a quick glance around the restaurant and murmured, ”It ’s finally our turn.
It was so cold outside! So, this is the restaurant you ’ve been talking about? ”　　

”Yeah, this is it. ” The girl took off her scarf excitedly, sat down at the free table, and said, ”Sit down before somebody else takes it. ”

The other customers smiled.
The two were probably university students who were used to competing for seats in the library all the time.　　

Her boyfriend sat down shyly.
It seemed like he wasn ’t used to showing affection in public.

”Which cat do you like again? ” he asked.　　

”There, that ’s the one! ” She pointed at a Calico cat in the restaurant and said, ”I heard that you can adopt the cats here.
I want this one! ”
