Chapter 50
"The 618 cat adoption event has officially begun." Lin Gui announced in the middle of the empty space in the store, holding a small microphone.
Dahuang put on a security hat and paced back and forth at the door, ensuring security.
The window at the back of the office was completely open, and cats kept coming in and out. The brave little cats, like Tiaotiao, stared directly at the candidates who came to participate in the event at Lin Gui's feet, without running away at all.
The timid cats are like Row 1 and Row 2. This is the first time they have encountered this kind of activity in their lives. They go back and forth between the store and the outdoors. As soon as they go out, they are curious and want to come back in, and as soon as they come in, they are scared and want to go out.
The cats that came to this area were all stray kittens, so Lin Gui didn't use the big yellow fence to fence them in, but let them come in and out as they pleased.
The store employees, Zhou Xiao and others were organizing snacks to provide to the candidates, and Song Shuyi was shooting a video. This was a good opportunity for publicity, so Lin Gui would be responsible for announcing the start and end of the event.
The whole event starts at 1 pm and ends at 6 pm, lasting five hours. During these five hours, we will see who can take the cat home.
Boss Leopard, Little Sanhua, and some kittens who didn't sign up also came to watch the fun. Boss Leopard, as usual, stood at the cashier counter overlooking the entire venue, while Little Sanhua, as the leader of the publicity department, was wandering around the venue, determined to get first-hand information.
For today's event, Lin Gui bought a batch of cat scratching boards and small sofas for cats to play with and for people to rest.
A total of 40 people were selected to participate in the event, and all of them were shortlisted after being certified by Lin Gui, Song Shuyi and 009.
Three of Hua Qin's four colleagues were shortlisted, and one was rejected by 009 because he wrote in the questionnaire that he liked to go out and play. He argued firmly: "I should come home to accompany the kitten after get off work, why should I play?" Lin Gui was speechless about his double standard, but since too many people had submitted applications, she just let it go.
Hua Qin also came today and brought Becky with him. It's rare to see so many kittens and humans together, and it's time for Becky to do socialization training.
To Hua Qin's surprise, she also saw her leader here. He was wearing a baseball cap and sportswear, looking very sunny and casual. He also brought his daughter with him. When he saw Hua Qin nodding at her, he didn't come over to talk to her. His attention was completely on his daughter.
Hua Qin didn't want to meet his boss during his vacation, so he pretended not to see him and ran to Lin Gui to watch with her how humans win the hearts of cats.
After Lin Gui announced the start, everyone was very polite and no one moved first. They were all watching to see which kitten would be easier to catch.
There was only one young man who was very goal-oriented. He picked up a strip of venison and rushed to a little orange cat. Everyone was watching whether he could get the favor of the little orange cat. At this time, the little orange cat moved, sniffed the strip of venison, and started to eat. The young man also took the opportunity to touch the little orange cat's head. Ah, it didn't refuse. It seems that the first pair is about to be formed.
Everyone realized that with so many people, they had to find their favorite cat quickly and not let others get there first, so they all took action.
Some people don't care about anything and just want to find a cat that accepts them, while others firmly believe in fate and keep looking for the kitten that is their destiny.
Lin Gui was watching with great amusement from the side, while Xiao Sanhua and Leopard Boss were also reporting on the situation of the couple just now.
"Boss, boss, that little orange cat is the cub that Sister Hua left here. It has been following Tiao Tiao to get food and drinks. Maybe that human boy knows Miao." Xiao Sanhua analyzed seriously.
"Yeah." Leopard Boss answered calmly. In his opinion, people who adopt cats must treat them well, so he has to strictly control them. After all, these are the cats under his protection.
Lin Gui also has plans for these cats after they are adopted, and will make regular return visits to ensure the cats' healthy lives.
The boy stayed with the little orange cat the whole time and didn't even look at the other cats. The boy's mind was extremely pure. After the little orange cat finished eating the meat strips, he picked it up and brought it to the snacks that Lin Gui prepared for them, letting it choose.
The little orange cat was very well behaved in the boy's arms. The man and the cat were a perfect match, and they should be the first couple registered by Lin Gui.
Some succeeded once, while others failed repeatedly. There was a boy in his twenties who kept holding a snack and hesitating among the cats around him, not knowing which one to feed. When he finally made a decision, he found that the cat he liked had either been fed or had run away.
I signed an agreement before coming here, which states that chasing cats is not allowed. The cats' feelings come first, so he hasn't fed them yet.
Some cats want to take a bite of the snacks in anyone's hand. The representative cat is Tiao Tiao. It is fed well by someone and still has food in its mouth, then it runs to the next door to bite the snacks of another kitten, eating it with satisfaction. I didn't snatch it from the cat's mouth, I grabbed it from the person's hand.
The kitten whose snack was snatched away ran away and asked someone else to eat the food in her hand. Tiaotiao's behavior resulted in two people feeding it. When it was about to find a third person, the leopard boss fell from the sky, stepped on its little tail, and warned it with a "meow."
I dragged it into the office and then taught it a lesson with Xiao Sanhua.
The two men watched Tiao Tiao being taken away quickly, with confused looks on their faces. Lin Gui walked over and said that that was their boss, and nothing serious would happen if they were taken away, so they could rest assured.
After a while, Tiaotiao was released. He was full of listlessness after being punished. At this time, a young lady wearing a new Chinese cheongsam came to him, stroked him gently and comforted him. Tiaotiao immediately became active. Looking at the beautiful lady, he announced that this was his real owner.
Lin Gui witnessed everything and saw the beautiful young lady near Tiao Tiao. She remembered her registration form. The young lady was 30 years old and was a great teacher. It seemed that some of Tiao Tiao's bad habits would soon be corrected.
Although Hua Qin didn't want to talk to the boss, she still paid attention to the progress of her colleagues. This inevitably made her pay attention to the progress of her leader. However, the leader brought his daughter to make the selection, so it was obviously his daughter who made the decision.
Hua Qin's leader is said to be 35 years old. His daughter is only about five years old this year. She has a round face and her nickname is Yuanyuan. She looks very cute.
Her father should have told her the reason for coming here. Although he looked at the kitten with eager eyes, he did not try to stop or pull it. Instead, he slowly walked to the cat and carefully fed it. After seeing the cat in front of him eat, his eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled happily.
The cat that ate her snacks was none other than Xingyi, followed by Xinger. After Xingyi finished eating half of it, he called Xinger to continue eating. Yuanyuan looked at Xinger and thought he was so small that she really wanted to touch him, so she gently put her hand on him. However, Xinger was scared because he saw so many people today, so when Yuanyuan put her hand on him, he couldn't help but ran away. Xingyi glanced at Yuanyuan and followed Xinger.
Yuanyuan watched the cats leave and was so anxious that she almost cried. She grabbed her father's clothes and wanted to go find them, but the rule here was that you can't chase cats. After her father told her, she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to disturb the other kittens, so she cried very quietly.
Seeing this, Lin Gui immediately came over to comfort her and explained, "Kittens are very small and are afraid of humans. I don't mean to hate you. Be good and don't cry. How about I take you to play with a big dog?"
I took the still crying Yuanyuan to find Dahuang. Dahuang had been very serious about the security work today, but suddenly he was given a baby. Dahuang was at a loss. He took Yuanyuan to sit in his puppy house and let Yuanyuan touch him at will.
Yuanyuan's father thanked Lin Gui for her care and went to play with his children and the puppy.
After comforting Yuanyuan, Lin Gui also received the first successful pair of this adoption meeting. She guessed wrongly that it was not the boy, but Tiaotiao who arrived later and the beautiful cheongsam girl.
The boy was still shearing wool from the little orange cat, feeding it various snacks and playing with it.
After being comforted by the cheongsam girl, Tiaotiao almost stuck to her. It was used to acting like a spoiled child, and this time it was full of emotion, which made the cheongsam girl decide that it was the one.
Congratulating them on their successful hand-in-hand relationship, Lin Gui registered them with a smile, and made an appointment with the cheongsam girl for a return visit. After telling her about the precautions, the cheongsam girl took Tiaotiao away.
Lin Gui originally thought that Tiao Tiao would be reluctant to leave Leopard Boss and the others and would say goodbye reluctantly, but she didn't expect that it would happily follow the little sister in a blink of an eye and happily crawl into the cat bag prepared by Lin Gui in advance, without any reluctance.
After watching Tiaotiao leave, Lin Gui approached Boss Leopard and asked, "Hey, hey, some kittens don't act like bosses at all."
Boss Leopard rolled his eyes at Lin Gui and ignored her. Lin Gui felt that it was boring, so she obediently went to register for the second couple. The second couple was Hua Qin's colleagues. He was able to register so quickly because of the Ertu Snack Shop Guide - Cat Chapter given to him by Hua Qin.
This guide lists what kind of snacks cats are most likely to like. Lin Gui has also seen this guide, and it feels very random. Cats' favorite foods are not fixed.
But this colleague accidentally chose the cat's favorite snack in his hand. Since then, the cat has been tolerant of him, so this couple became a couple.
As mentioned before, not all cats that come to the adoption event want a poop scooper. Some come to get free food and drinks. When faced with snacks, they happily eat them, but when faced with being petted, they refuse. What a smart and clever little cat.
After eating, they left the room, so they didn't disturb other cats from choosing each other, so the leopard boss turned a blind eye to this behavior.
