Famous refused to join the game, so Zhang Zian played hide-and-seek with Galaxy and Pi for a little while. Afterwards, he started cleaning. When he went to take out the trash, he saw Zhuang coming out of the Li’s Snack Bar holding a black garbage bag. Zhuang saw him, and they waved at each other.

Zhuang went back in the snack bar, while Zhang Zian started to head back into his store, but at that moment, he heard someone running.

He turned and saw Masanori Suzuhara and Snoopy on their morning jog. She wore her usual sports attire, her shoes and clothes had reflective strips to alert passing vehicles.

“Happy New Year!” Masanori Suzuhara didn’t completely stop, she just jogged in place.

“Happy New Year! As I recall, your new year is on the first day of the Gregorian Calendar, right?” Zhang Zian asked.

“Yes, but when in Rome do as the Romans do.” Masanori Suzuhara smiled. “I love New Year’s here, I got quite a number of red packets, and I got to sleep in.”

“I was wondering why I didn’t see you run on New Year’s day.” Zhang Zian was relieved. If you saw someone run every day, you got worried when you don’t see them one day, feels like you could force an OCD person to his death.

Masanori Suzura continued running in place. “I just received a message from the company, since Japan’s is an hour ahead of China, the company is already open. They informed me that the automated dog washer is on its way, it’ll arrive soon. After its seen in a technology exhibition overseas, it’ll be sent here, so be ready for it.”

Masanori Suzuhara had plans to accept the internship at the Japan biotechnology company.

“No problem.” Zhang Zian was elated. Thanks to the Love Lovely Pets incident, the store was empty.

Masanori Suzuhara added, “The coin system can only accept Japanese coins, and the company is working on an upgrade to have the machine accept Chinese coins too, but due to the time constraint, it might have a bug. If you have an issue, the company can fix it from over there.”

“I understand, I’m thankful for the company’s thoughtfulness. If they can get the machine to accept Alipay or Wechat Pay, that would be more convenient.” Zhang Zian laughed.

“That’s not a choice.” Masanori Suzuhara shook her head. “In regards to mobile payment, Japan is behind compared to China. Here, I don’t even have to bring cash when I leave the house, only a small pouch for my wallet and dog license. It’s really convenient.

“The company also informed me that the Chinese coins and Japanese coins differ in size and appearance, so there might be a problem when change is required. So it’s best if you could set the fees to a whole number to avoid the problem,” Masanori Suzuhara added.

Zhang Zian nodded, he hadn’t thought of the fees yet. If it weren’t for Masanori Suzuhara’s reminder, he might have dont it wrong. He’ll just set the prices to 200 for cats and big dogs and 100 for smaller dogs. Even if the customers didn’t have cash, they’d be able to get cash back at the register.

It’d be more expensive than most pet stores, but to make a profit, Zhang Zian had to consider the cost of the machine and future maintenance costs.

Masanori Suzuhara said everything she had to say, so she bowed and continued her jog with Snoopy.

“Boss.”

Although Zhang Zian didn’t know if that was directed at him, he still turned around.

A lady who looked like a young white-collar worker stood behind him, holding a designer bag.

Zhang Zian had seen her before, she was a customer.

“The last time I was here, I ordered an Abyssinian Cat,” she explained. “I saw your message on Wechat that the kittens were born, so I was thinking I could take a look and pick one out, if that is okay.”

“Sure, follow me.” Zhang Zian led her into the store and checked her receipt. Her name was Tang Yuyun, she was one of the first customers to order a Abyssinian cat.

“There’s something I have to let you know.”

Tang Yuyun listened carefully.

“I said before that the store would notify all customers when to come down and pick a kitten. I didn’t expect you to come so early. I didn’t notify anyone because the kittens have yet to develop, there’s not much for you to look at right now.” Zian continued, “They’re still too young, some of them might die, so even if you pick one now and it dies, you would have made your choice for nothing.”

Tang Yuyun gave it some thought before she laughed. “Actually, I have an issue with cleanliness and have OCD, so I don’t like picking from leftovers. If there were only leftovers, I’d rather not make the purchase.”

Zhang Zian was at a loss for words. He personally preferred to head over to the market right before they closed because there was a discount on everything. Even if they were leftovers, at least he got a great deal.

She knew that she was a little weird. “My personality has caused a lot of problems but I can’t change. I really like cats, but I have yet to keep one because the cats in the pet stores are mostly leftovers. They might not be, but I’ll always wonder. So I asked my colleagues if they knew anyone who had newborn kittens for sale so I can go down early to pick, but I had another issue. Domesticated cats usually aren’t purebred, right? I want a purebred cat.”

“It’s because of this reason that I’m unable to find a boyfriend, I always feel like they’re leftovers as well,” Tang Yuyun added, embarrassed.

Zhang Zian really wanted to tell her, if that was the case, she’d have to go to kindergarten for a boyfriend.
