Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Chapter 264: The Farce and the Scam

The nurse gathered every last ounce of her patience and said to the rich lady,

“How many times do I have to repeat this? Doll cats differ from other cats because they have an extremely sensitive stomach; they’re even more fragile than Garfields! Especially pure breeds, they’re all born with stomach problems and need special attention for their diet. The cat simply cannot digest the junk that you’re feeding it! Stress response is normal. What you have to do now is to stop feeding it for two days, only feed water and probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. When it’s feeling better, start feeding it cat food, but only one specific kind of cat food. You should never feed the cat any snacks again.”

The nurse was simply looking out for the cat by giving a whole speech, but the rich lady refused to listen and said, “What do you mean, ‘junk food’? All the cat food, meat, and snacks are all imported from America. They’re super expensive and high in nutrients. I’m buying all this expensive food for my baby kitty’s health!”

The rich lady’s sharp voice irritated Tao Zhiyao even more. She interrupted, “Simply because the cat food has good quality doesn’t mean it’s suited for your cat. Every cat has a different taste; some like poultry, some like fish. Perhaps your Doll cat likes cheaper cat food.”

Tao Zhiyao used to play tons of cat simulators and was a complete cat nerd. She knew everything about caring for cats from internet surfing. She might even be more professional than the nurse.

Tao Zhiyao was trying to convince the rich lady for her own good and to stop her from yapping; however, the rich lady thought Tao Zhiyao was belittling her. This girl mentioned cheaper cat food. Was this girl hinting that she was poor?

She looked at Tao Zhiyao with disdain, “You have the cheapest blue cat, how will you understand doll cats? Do you know how much one doll cat costs? The cheapest being over ten thousand!”

Tao Zhiyao: “……”

Ye Ziliang and the nurse were all speechless. This rich lady was on a completely different page from them.

Compared to other cats, blue cats were indeed cheaper. One could buy a mediocre one with one to two thousand and the prettier ones were sold at five thousand, max.

Pear was bought by Tao Zhiwei, so Tao Zhiyao didn’t know how much he cost, and she didn’t care. She only knew that it was her brother’s gift to her, and it was something money can’t buy.

She was in a hurry to leave home today and didn’t bring any of her fancy purses. If she had them, the rich lady would’ve already shut up.

Tao Zhiyao and Ye Ziliang looked at each other. When they filmed “Vet’s Cuties”, they saw many different kinds of weird people, but none were as annoying as this rich lady.

Nonetheless, no matter how loud they were getting, the doll cat in the rich lady’s arms remained calm like a little princess. Beautiful and docile. She was the polar opposite of her owner.

Tao Zhiyao was truly worried that this weirdo would be a bad influence to the doll cat.

However, when the rich lady talked about the blue cat’s price, it also reminded Tao Zhiyao. She waved her driver over and asked, “Do you know where my brother bought Pear?”

The driver shook his head.

“Ah, nevermind then. I’ll ask him myself in a call.” Tao Zhiyao rarely ever took the initiative to call her brother, and she would never call him during work hours because that would only distract him.

However, for the kitty, all rules and all boundaries could be broken.

Tao Zhiyao didn’t choose a good time to call. Tao Zhiwei was just welcoming the CEO from their affiliate corporation. In the meeting room, there were almost 10 people from each corporation, all there for the meeting.

He muted his phone, but he had set up a special ringtone for his three most important family members—his parents and his sister.

Tao Zhiwei was very surprised when he saw the caller ID. He picked up regardless of the circumstances. He knew Tao Zhiyao wouldn’t call him for no reason, and it was definitely an emergency that caused her to call him; however, her emergency was a little different from his definition of emergency.

Everyone watched as Tao Zhiwei picked up, sighed in relief, then furrowed his brows. He said, “I didn’t buy the cat in person. I’ll help you ask him.”

Cat? What cat?

All the business elites in the conference room were puzzled.

Tao Zhiwei made a glance, and his assistant who bought the cat walked up, trembling.

“Where did you get that cat?”

“I searched up a cat home on Baidu, I think it was called ‘Famous Kitties’.”

The assistant already guessed that the cat might have some problems, but he was innocent! His boss suddenly called him in the middle of the night, asking him to buy a freaking cat?!

He was normally very busy, so the assistant had no time to get to know anything about pets, cats or dogs. He was even more clueless on where to buy these animals!

Regardless, it was Tao Zhiwei’s order, so he couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to. He had to follow the directions.

He first looked on Yelp. The cat shops on it all closed down at around seven o’clock in the evening. He had to go on Baidu, and he finally found a cat store that hadn’t closed. He called the number listed on the website. The person who answered was very enthusiastic, saying that they were willing to wait and give him a tour.

The cat store was located in a compound. The assistant came to the compound gates, and the person who called himself the owner of the cat store came to pick him up in person.

The owner was talking to him the entire time, introducing his store as the most legal breeding cat store in the entire capital city. He had a good attitude and was asking a lot of questions enthusiastically. He asked the assistant what breed he wanted to buy and what his budget was.

The assistant was, of course, one of Tao Zhiwei’s elite subordinates. He knew that the owner could see he didn’t know a lot about cats and was purposely leading him into a trap, so the assistant did not mention that he was buying a cat for his boss. To keep it safe, he said that he had a budget of 3000 RMB.

The cat shop was actually quite clean, and there was even air conditioning. The temperature was fitting, too. There wasn’t any strange smell in the air. Every cat of large size had its own wooden cage. Seeing that the environment was great, the assistant let down his guard.

There were lots of kittens waiting to be sold in the shop. There were all kinds, litters and litters of different colors, different appearances. Even the assistant, a grown up man, thought they were extremely cute.

With every kitten being so cute, the assistant had a hard time deciding which one to buy. He took a picture of every litter and sent them to Tao Zhiwei so his boss could make the decision himself. In the end, Tao Zhiwei chose a litter of blue cats and even circled the exact kitten he wanted with colorful lines — Pear.

At that time, the owner told the assistant that blue cats usually cost a lot. The kitten they wanted was the prettiest and would cost 5000 RMB; however, because he drove from a far place at such a late time in the evening just to buy a kitten, he must’ve really wanted it. The owner said he would cut the price by 1000 RMB.

So, in the end, the assistant bought Pear for 4000 RMB.

The two men had no experience with buying cats and didn’t do their research beforehand. They got fooled. Getting scammed wasn’t something they cared about; however, they bought a sick cat. The shop owner was harming lives!

The assistant, seeing that Tao Zhiwei’s expression didn’t seem right, did not know what to do.

Tao Zhiwei felt very tired. Initially, he gifted his sister a cat to make her feel happier; however, just now, in the call, he felt like she was going to start crying again by listening to her voice.

Why were things getting worse and worse?

Yay TOTFCS is officially revived.
