Chapter 34: Raising the Price
The cat seemed to have a stress response and would not let anyone take over, even Liu Wangxue would not let him hold it in a different position to make it easier for the owner to clean its wounds and apply medicine.
In the end, he could only maintain this posture, and under Jialin's accusations, he asked the owner to trim the hair around the wound, disinfect it, and then apply medicine.
The shop owner bandaged the wound and said, "It must have been scratched by something sharp. Fortunately, the wound is not deep and will heal in a few days."
Pengpeng rubbed against Liu Wangxue's leg and called to the cat. Liu Wangxue showed it the bandaged cat paw: "It's bandaged, it's okay."
Pengpeng stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick it, but was stopped by Liu Wangxue.
At the same time, Xu Qingsong received a message from Du Yunkai: [Where are the people? ]
Xu Qingsong sent him a location: [Checking the cat’s wound]
Du Yunkai: [I’ll come find you guys]
After Jialin finished accusing Xiao Tan, he took out his phone and called the person in charge of the props group. He told the whole thing in a rush and then demanded compensation: "Anyway, my cat was scared by those two actors when you were filming, which caused it to run out and scratch its leg. The responsibility lies with your crew, you can't shirk it! So I won't rent this cat anymore, and your crew must give me the compensation I deserve!"
The person in charge of the props team did not have the authority to make this decision, so he took his phone and went to find the director first.
This phone call was like a spark that lit the fuse, completely detonating the barrel of explosives: "I'll compensate you! You can rent it or not, but I don't need your broken cat anymore! Listen to me, from today on, there will be no more scenes with your broken cat! Take it and get out of here as far as you can! From now on, no cats or dogs are allowed in the crew! Don't let me see a single hair! Beep-beep-"
The person in charge of the props team quickly snatched the phone back and hung up the call in panic.
The director continued to output. He felt that he was really unlucky to be tricked into taking this role.
It was originally a good workplace inspirational drama with a female lead, and the main theme was to promote Hanfu culture. But then one investor came to interfere, and then another investor came to interfere.
The script was changed by everyone, not only was it changed beyond recognition, but the leading actor also relied on his own popularity and the company behind him to bring his own screenwriter to write pages every day.
Yesterday, the female lead wanted to add a scene of saving a cat to highlight her kindness, but today, she inexplicably got angry and asked for it to be deleted. Is this deleting a scene? This is deleting the time and energy of everyone in the crew!
The female lead doesn't want a cat anymore, and the male lead wants a dog. A dog, right? What a dog! He's late and leaves early, and he asks for leave when he wants to, and he doesn't come when he says he won't come. Do you think he's a soft persimmon that's easy to squeeze? Okay , crazy, right? Then let's go crazy together and see who can be crazier! No one can tell him how to shoot in the future! If you have the guts, replace him as the director!
Although Jialin did not play the sound externally, the director's roar still came out, and everyone in the quiet pet shop could hear it clearly.
Xu Qingsong sighed in his heart: "Tsk, what a beautiful mental state."
Xiao Tan ran out as if he had been pardoned and returned to the crew. Are you kidding me? The director has already spoken, why is she still staying there? Is she going to be a scapegoat? Jia Lin stared at the screen of his mobile phone in a daze. He did not chase Xiao Tan when she ran away. After a while, he seemed to come to his senses and said, "I want to let it go, but there is no way. I will post it online and expose them!"
As he said this, he reached out to the cat in Liu Wangxue's arms, wanting to forcefully take the cat back.
The cat cried ferociously, kicking its hind paws in the air, and its two front paws hooked on the rope and refused to let go, causing Liu Wangxue's neck to tilt forward. No one knew where these short and thick little paws got so much strength.
Pengpeng jumped up in an instant, climbed on Jialin and called out to him. In an instant, there was a cacophony of "woof woof" and "meow meow" from those who wanted the cat, those who wanted to coax the dog, and those who wanted to persuade people.
Xu Qingsong took two steps forward and pinched the numb tendon on Jialin's arm, forcing him to let go.
The store became quiet only after the cat returned to Liu Wangxue's arms.
The few of them looked at each other, and Pengpeng stood in front of Liu Wangxue, staring at Jialin with a defensive posture.
Jialin said to Liu Wangxue, "Then, you help me remove the bandage, I'll take a picture, and then wrap it again."
Liu Wangxue and Wenxi said in unison: "You are not sick!" It is unbelievable how there can be such a person. Is he raising a pet? It must be a tool for profit.
Not to mention the two of them, even the shop owner and Xu Qingsong looked at them sideways.
"My cat is a purebred blue-gold cat with 12 colors. It has a top-quality appearance and has breeding rights. Its parents are show-winning cats!" Jialin said, "What if the hair on the wound doesn't grow back and affects future sales? Wouldn't I lose a lot of money?"
"So, it's not your pet, but a commodity?" Liu Wangxue asked. If it is a commodity, then it would be easy to deal with.
"Why, you want to buy it?" Jialin rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Wangxue carefully. He felt that she was not short of money. "This cat is not cheap. Last time someone offered 10,000 yuan, I was reluctant to sell it."
Liu Wangxue smiled: "It looks like you're going to raise the price?"
Jialin pulled a stool over and sat down: "How can you raise the price? Blue gold is rare. If it were in Beijing or Hai City, thirty thousand would not be expensive."
There are many people in Wenxi's circle who keep cats. They all buy expensive ones, some cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so she knows a little bit about it. She said to Jialin, "That's enough. It's still 30,000. This cat should be worth 10,000 at most."
Xu Qingsong asked Liu Wangxue: "Do you really want to buy it?" and started searching on his phone.
What else could Liu Wangxue do? She changed her hand to hold the cat's butt: "When do you think it can get off me? Or, is there any way you can get it off?" Well, she came here to buy a cat anyway.
Jialin immediately said, "Then it's 20,000, not a cent less!"
At this time, Du Yunkai came over with his phone. He heard it as soon as he entered the door and asked, "What do you mean by 20,000?" He looked around and quickly understood the situation: "Buying a cat?"
Liu Wangxue nodded and said to Jialin, "I know a little bit about the market. You just said it's purebred, which means it has double bloodline and its bloodline can be checked within five generations. In addition, you also said its parents are competition grade, so please bring the relevant materials and certificates to me first. If everything is true, we can discuss the price."
Jialin immediately stood up and said, "Okay, the materials are all in my store, come with me."
The four of them followed Jialin and left the pet shop.
Du Yunkai looked at the cat, which was round and chubby everywhere and very cute, and wanted to hug it. He said to Liu Wangxue, "Let me hug it too."
Liu Wangxue smiled and said, "You try it."
Cat and Dog Drama Pengpeng: Just hold on to her tightly, and don’t let go no matter who holds you! Got it? Maomao: Is that okay?
Peng Peng: You have to trust me. Only if you trust me can I take you home.
Cat: Okay then! (Hold on tightly, never let go, be fierce to anyone who touches you.jpg)
