Chapter 30: One More Custor
Translator: Nyoi_Bo_Studio Editor: Tennesh
Liu Wenying’s daughter Yueyue was a bit shy. She hid behind her mother, one hand holding her mother’s thigh. Half of her timid face was visible, staring at the Siase and Samoyed while biting her finger.
Zhang Zian noticed Yueyue and asked Liu Wenying, “Is this your daughter?”
Liu Wenying loved her daughter. She always liked to show off her daughter when she t others. She didn’t expect that Zhang Zian would change the conversation topic, but she still happily pulled her daughter out from behind her and squatted down, touching her little head and speaking softly, “Yueyue, do you like cats?”
Yueyue felt bashful, but she still nodded heavily and answered childishly, “Want a kitty…”
“So…”
At this mont, outside the door, a dazzling shadow passed. The bell on the door handle rang again, and a man pushed the door open and ca in.
Another custor?
In general, over seventy to eighty percent of the custors were won and children; male custors were rare. If there was a male custor, he would probably be accompanied by his girlfriend, or maybe he happily brought his wife and daughter together. Rarely would any young man would co alone.
The man who just ca in was dressed in an out-of-season long wind coat and a baseball cap. While it had cooled down a little bit these days, the streets were still filled with beautiful young girls wearing hot pants and shorts. With that weather, anyone that was still wearing a wind coat could be considered either a jerk or a fool.
Zhang Zian made the decision that he wouldn’t turn on the AC even if that guy was suffering from heatstroke!
The man wore the baseball hat so low that he seed to be hiding away from Zhang Zian’s sight. The man roughly took a glance around after entering the store and then walked toward the pets’ accessory section, away from the others. In his mind, Zhang Zian flipped his middle finger at the man. They were not having a secret underground eting like the ones in spy movies, so why was the man acting like this?
“Mr. Owner?” Liu Wenying drew his attention, as she had noticed that his mind was wandering off.
Zhang Zian ca back and decided not to worry about the weird man for now. He said to Liu Wenying, “If you want to purchase a cat, I would suggest you take a look at the Siase cat.” He pointed to the Siase cat, which really tried its best to show off.
Liu Wenying was a bit confused and not very pleased. She had heard of so businesses like this before. When going to the store for one thing, the salesn would get the custors to buy sothing else with a much higher price. She frowned and asked, “How much does it cost for a Siase cat?”
“4000.”
She was even more confused. Other owners would try to market more expensive types. Why did this young man only market the cheaper type? Did the Siase cat have a hidden sickness she didn’t know about, so he wanted to get it out of the store?
No wonder she was thinking negatively—that was what the market environnt was like. Many different sizes of stores often tried to counterfeit or be fishy, so people were scared of being tricked. Hence, the custors often thought about worst-case scenarios.
At this point, she stuck to her guns, put on a long face, and rejected. “No, thank you. I just want a British Shorthair.”
Zhang Zian didn’t mind her change of attitude and spoke calmly, “Of course you can have a British Shorthair, but the reason I recomnded the Siase cat was because of your daughter.”
Liu Wenying held her daughter tighter, like she was afraid soone might hurt her daughter, and asked seriously, “What do you an?”
Zhang Zian explained, “I don’t know how much you know about these two types of cats. They both are very good house cats, and many people like them. However,” he paused, “there is a slight difference between them.”
Liu Wenying tried to be patient. Nonsense, the obvious difference between the British Shorthair and the Siase cat was the appearance. Was there a need for him to ntion that? This thought was mingling in her mind.
Zhang Zian continue explaining, “If you wanted to get a pet for yourself, I would definitely recomnd a British Shorthair, but for your daughter, the Siase cat might be more appropriate. The reason is very simple. The Siase cat is a better companion for young kids.”
“But, I noticed that the British Shorthair was very well-behaved,” Liu Wenying responded, not fully convinced.
“There is a saying within the realm of pet markets: ‘pick a cat by its good temperant; pick a dog by its appearance.’ This ans that there is a great difference between various kinds of dogs’ appearance and their body structures. No matter what kind of dog it is, their temperants are going to be similar: all loyal to their owners, all energetic and very active, and requiring their owners play with them often. Hence, you just have to pick the one you like. On the other hand, cats are total opposites. Any kind of cats’ appearances can be cute and adorable, but the temperants can be very different, like human beings. So cats like to play with their owners. So cats can be very cool. Even the sa kind of cats may have slightly different temperants. Hence, when picking cats, you have to consider their temperants first.”
“The British Shorthair indeed is the type of cat that is very well-behaved. However, for a little child, it can be too quiet, and will not be able to satisfy the child’s active energy level and curiosity. A Siase cat’s temperant is very gentle and loyal to its master, and at the sa ti it can be very active, a so-called ‘dog of cats,’ just like a kid.” He continued, “Being well-behaved is your expectation, but it is not necessarily a child’s anticipation. A child doesn’t have enough patience and focus. If a cat is too well-behaved or too quiet, the child will soon lose interest. If you were planning to purchase one for yourself, then I would recomnd a British Shorthair, but for your child, she will be much happier if she grows up with a Siase cat.”
Zhang Zian wasn’t sure if he had seen an illusion or not, but through the corner of his eyes, he saw the brim of the mysterious man’s cap rise up a little bit. It seed that the man agreed with his explanation.
“Thank you, Mr. Owner. I really appreciated your honest opinion! This is my first ti eting such a responsible pet shop owner!” Her eyes were a bit red.
Deng Jie felt the sa way while listening to their conversations on the side. Honestly, there were so few pets in the store, if she hadn’t co with Liu Wenying, she might have already left. Now she was glad that she hadn’t done so, as she had shopped at a few other pets’ stores, including the well-known Stars Pet Chain Supermarket. Those salesn were all anxious to sell their pets and claid their pets to be the greatest pets of all.
Comparing Zhang Zian’s attitude with other salesn’s, one could totally tell who was speaking the truth and who was not. All could be judged clearly. Zhang Zian spoke openly with supporting reasons and could be easily trusted. He was not afraid to reveal the British Shorthair’s weaknesses… Actually, those weaknesses were not considered to be shortcomings. The British Shorthair was suited for those adults who had self-control. Sincerity and honesty was worthy of respect any ti.
