Chapter 998: You Only Need 998 to Bring the Blue Cat Back

Zhang Zian was holding the small fish tank. When he went downstairs, he did not dare to walk too fast, for fear that the water would shake out of the fish tank.

Vladimir jumped onto the handrails next to the stairs and walked next to him. It said, “I couldn’t tell before, but you know quite a lot. You not only know about cats and dogs, but you also know about fish?”

Zhang Zian chuckled. “I am in the pet business, after all. If I don’t constantly learn more, I would not know how to answer customers’ questions. I don’t want to be embarrassed.”

Vladimir nodded in agreement. “One’s smartness is due learning, while their genius is due to amassing knowledge! We must definitely come up with this kind of mission for ourselves: One is to learn; two is to learn; three is still to learn!”

Zhang Zian thought, I just want to earn more money and marry a wife in the future...

When he got downstairs, Zhang Zian transferred the blue tang from the small fish tank into a large, plastic collection box and used random things around it to fix it in place. He covered the lid to prevent it from hitting anything while he was driving, and to prevent it from jumping out. After all, the fish was basically a walking yuan.

“Where are we going now? Are we going home?” Vladimir jumped back onto the back of the front passenger seat, lying on the headrest and looking around.

“No, we are going somewhere else before going home.” Zhang Zian started the car, left Welder Zhao and Electrician Wu’s neighborhood, and headed towards the other direction.

Vladimir did not question it further. Everywhere on Earth was its home––that was why it could leave the capital without looking back and follow Zhang Zian to Binhai City.

Zhang Zian drove the car into the alleys of the streets, leaving the old style streets and coming to an area where the architectural style was newer––the area where Lin Wenying, Zhao Qi, and Deng Jie lived.

He was planning paying a visit to Liu Wenying to see if she had recovered from the sadness of losing her cat, and to see if her daughter, Yue Yue, had accepted the fact that their cat had passed away.

After all, Liu Wenying was one of his earliest customers. Without them, perhaps his shop would have closed down a long time ago.

The neighborhood was mostly made up of high-rise buildings. There were a lot of residents, a large portion of which were young people, and their financial statuses were quite high.

All the empty spaces inside the parking lot were filled by cars, so Zhang Zian drove around for a long time before he finally found an empty space to park his car.

The empty space just happened to be under the sun. The good thing was that the weather was quite cooling. Otherwise, after a while, the temperature in the car would be high enough to cook a plate of boiled fish.

“Do you want to follow me up? Or stay down here?” Zhang Zian asked Vladimir, pointing at the high-rise building that was around 30 stories high.

Vladimir squinted its eyes and raised its head to take a look. He had yet to reply when he heard a flabbergasted and husky female voice. “Eh? Look who that is! What a rare sight!’

Zhang Zian looked towards where the sound came from and saw a white-collar lady that was dressed fashionably standing behind his car. Although she was wearing a large pair of sunglasses that covered half her face, Zhang Zian instantly recognized her. It was Zhao Qi!

Zhao Qu was wearing a white windbreaker and a similar colored sunhat. Inside the windbreaker she wore a suitably colored shirt and high heels. She carried a handbag in one hand and a shopping bag with a famous brand’s logo printed on top in the other. Her red lipstick under her sunglasses was especially eye-catching, and her makeup was exquisite as always.

With the breeze blowing by, the light perfume on her body drifted into the noses of Zhang Zian and Vladimir.

Ahchoo! Vladimir sneezed, rubbing its nose. It moved to a position that avoided the wind in order to hide from the perfume scent.

Hearing the sound of sneezing, Zhao Qi noticed Vladimir’s presence.

She pulled down her sunglasses and looked at it, “Aiya, a blue cat! This... is this an English Shorthair? It looks quite similar to my Lan Lan!”

“It’s not an English Shorthair, it’s a Russian Blue. It’s different from the English Shorthair. Furthermore, how does it look like Lan Lan? What’s with your eyesight?” Zhang Zian insulted her. “Is it that you feel that every blue cat looks like your Lan Lan?”

“Tch! Russian blue? This is the first time I’ve heard about this kind of cat...” Zhao Qi exclaimed. She was very interested in Vladimir. She bent down, wanting to observe it.

Zhang Zian stretched his neck and took a look inside her shopping bag, “You... you went shopping again?”

“Not really! I just went with Shi Shi to the newly opened café to drink a cup of coffee. We were planning to go to a concert together––a Tchaikovsky concert––but in the end she got called away by her boyfriend. It angered me to death!” she said fiercely, but her tone was still bragging. “So after that, I randomly walked around the shopping mall and ate lunch. I decided to go home to put my things down but this afternoon I’ll go to the cat café to enjoy the cats. Tonight I’m going to watch a movie, that way my weekend becomes meaningful!”

Zhang Zian paused then said, “...But don’t you have Lan Lan? Why are you going to go admire cats?”

“Don’t you men always say, ‘The concubine is better than the wife, and cheating outside is better than the concubine?’” She said self-confidently. “And anyway, can going to admire cats really be considered cheating?”

Vladimir suddenly sneered and said, “Such a strong rotting scent of a small Bourgeois and a low-level sense of humor!”

Zhao Qi said, “... Did it just look at me sideways in disdain?”

“No, you saw it wrong. “Zhang Zian insistently denied it.

“Are you sure?” Zhao Qi stared at Vladimir in doubt. She felt like, at that moment, its gaze was very hurtful.

“Of course I’m sure. You’re overthinking things.” Zhang Zian casually pacified her. Even though Vladimir really did have disdain for her, he could not admit it. Otherwise, she would continue to question until she found out everything; that was just her personality.

“It’s just a cat. How could it look down on you?”

Zhao Qi insisted. “But I always see that gold cat in your shop looking at you with despise.”

Zhang Zian was speechless.

“Anyway, although it has nothing to do with me, I wanted to check. What movie are you planning to watch tonight?” he asked.

“It’s an artistic romance film. Even if I say it, you wouldn’t know.” Zhao Qi put on her sunglasses again.

Zhang Zian seriously pointed out, “You know the movie my shop’s dog is the main lead in is currently very popular, right?”

“I know, but I’m not interested in any kind of army or police movie!” she said honestly.

Zhang Zian sighed soundlessly. He lowered his voice and muttered, “She really is full of a strong rotting smell of a small Bourgeois and a low-level sense of humor!”

“What? What did you say?”

Zhao Qi did not hear clearly but from Zhang Zian’s expression, she knew he definitely did not say anything good. She was instantly so angry that her carefully drawn eyebrows furrowed downwards.”

“Nothing! It’s nothing! Don’t take it to heart! And definitely, don’t condemn me!” Zhang Zian smiled bitterly.
