The box for the taro balls was bought by Jiang Xia at a convenience store for one yuan. Nowadays, most pet stores have closed down, and it's impossible to buy common cat supplies.
"When I get back tomorrow, I'll stop by the pet store and buy everything I need," Jiang Xia said.
Lin Yanwan held the box and looked at the kitten inside with a gentle smile: "Actually, there's no rush. Yuyuan isn't picky about food and can go to the bathroom by itself."
Jiang Xia looked at Yu Yuan, who was only two or three months old. He was thin and small, and his hind legs probably didn't have much strength.
"Whether the taro ball has been reborn or not is another matter, are you sure it went to the toilet and didn't fall into the toilet hole?"
She paused for a moment, feeling that it wasn't impossible. What if she slipped and fell in while squatting on the toilet? That would be a real problem.
"Then you should just buy some cat litter."
"Besides cat litter, you also need to buy other things. At the very least, you need to deworm it. Besides, you're already allergic to cat fur. What if it carries fleas or other parasites? How will you sleep at night?"
Lin Yanwan subconsciously scratched her neck: "Stop talking, I'm starting to itch. Looks like I'll have to give it a bath when we get back."
"Be careful not to stress it."
"Taro balls wouldn't do that~ Taro balls are the best behaved, aren't they?"
She gently scratched the kitten's chin, and Taro Ball squinted its eyes comfortably, making purring sounds.
Jiang Xia smiled, went back the way he came, and escorted his wife into the residential area, saying, "Then I'll head back now; I have things to do tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful. Good luck!"
Lin Yan nodded and watched him leave before taking the elevator home with the cat in her arms.
"Mom, I brought a cat home. Can we keep it?" she asked as soon as she entered the house.
Before Ji Wanqiu could speak, Lin Xiaoman's eyes widened and brightened instantly.
"A cat? Where's the cat?"
As she spoke, she jumped off the sofa, ran to her sister, and looked down into the box.
"Wow, what an adorable kitten!"
"Does Xiaoman like it?" Lin Yanwan asked with a smile.
"Mmm! I love it! It's so small and looks so cute, sister, shall we raise it?"
“It’s no use me saying this, go tell Mom.” She lowered her voice, trying to speak in a tone that only the two of them could hear.
The sensible Xiaoman immediately understood. She ran to Ji Wanqiu's side and shook her hand repeatedly.
"Mommy, Mommy, Xiaoman wants to get a cat, okay?"
Looking at her beloved youngest daughter, Ji Wanqiu said helplessly, "If I say no, would you agree to throw the kitten out?"
"Xiaoman disagrees!" Lin Xiaoman shouted, "If we throw it out, this cute kitten might die."
Ji Wanqiu's eyes twitched slightly; she had just overheard the two sisters' furtive conversation.
However, she wasn't really against having a cat, probably because of the toy cars. She really likes cats and dogs, and besides, it can help raise Xiaoman to be a kind, loving, and responsible person.
"I have no objection, ask your dad."
Mr. Lin watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh. He picked up his daughter and hugged her tightly, saying, "Xiaoman, what Mom means is that if you want to raise a pet, you must take it seriously. You can't just do it on a whim, and you can't mistreat it. You have to treat it like a friend."
"Mmm! From now on, I, Lin Xiaoman, am the cat's friend~"
Lin Yanwan secretly gave her younger sister a thumbs up. As expected of their parents' most beloved youngest daughter, she resolved the issue of whether or not to keep the taro balls in just a few words. If she had asked the question herself, it probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
"Then I'll go give the kitten a bath first."
"Sister, I want to go too!"
◇
The next day at seven o'clock, Jiang Xia arrived at the entrance of the community as agreed but did not see anyone. He waited by the roadside for about ten minutes before he saw Li Weiya slowly pull over in a Toyota.
"Xia, I'm so sorry, something came up at home and I was delayed for a while. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Li Weiya said apologetically.
Jiang Xia gently shook her head: "It's alright, Auntie. I just arrived too. Besides, it's still early, we'll make it in time."
He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and the car slowly started moving towards the TV station.
"You look really handsome today." Li Weiya turned her head and glanced at Jiang Xia, her eyes lighting up.
Today he was wearing a white shirt and casual trousers, and his slightly long bangs were combed back, making him look much more mature and handsome.
“Boys should dress more maturely after they turn 18,” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Isn't it because you're going to discuss business today and you're afraid the TV station will think you're too young to be bullied?" Li Weiya teased.
Jiang Xia blushed slightly: "Aunt Li, it's no fun if you see through something but don't say it."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Weiya chuckled: "By the way, have you packed everything?"
"Yes, I brought them all."
"That's good."
"Aunt Li, should I take the lead in the discussion or will you?"
"Of course you'll be the one to lead the negotiations. I'll just be your negotiation advisor, offering appropriate advice at the right time. But there's one thing you must remember: stay calm and don't reveal your bottom line right away."
“I know that.”
More than an hour later, the two finally arrived at Chongqing TV Station. Looking at the building in front of them, they were both somewhat shocked.
"Auntie, have you been here before?"
Does this count?
"Trust me, I'll be coming here often in the future."
Jiang Xia took a deep breath and stepped inside first. Chongqing TV Station was just the first step for him to reach the pinnacle of this world.
