Chapter 275: Small Dogs

Zhang Zian reminded Long Xian, regardless of whether she understood or not, he greeted her and walked towards the clinic's ward. His pet is temporarily stored in an idle ward here, and after walking a few steps, he heard barks and meows.

While walking, he paid attention to the hygiene and cleanliness here. I have to say that although Wang Qian and Li Kun are out-and-out second-hand goods, they are still quite diligent in their hands and feet. When working in a pet shop, they will not be lazy and slippery. The same is true for working here, whether it is hygiene or disinfection There was nothing to complain about, except for the smell of disinfectant, there was no other peculiar smell, no wonder Sun Xiaomeng asked them to work for a while longer... Of course, the main reason was that she didn't need to pay her wages.

The door of one of the wards was open, and Zhang Zian looked in. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was looking at the pets in the display cabinet one by one.

Zhang Zian knocked on the open door, the middle-aged man turned his head and cast a questioning look.

"Excuse me, are you going to buy a pet?" Zhang Zian walked in.

"That's right, you are?" the middle-aged man asked.

Zhang Zian casually pointed to the display cabinet, "My name is Zhang Zian, and I'm the owner of Qiyuan Pet Shop. I keep these pets here. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Oh." The man nodded and stretched out his hand politely, "Hello. I didn't wait long, just a few minutes, just to see the pets here."

Zhang Zian had a good impression of this person, he was well dressed and polite, mainly because of his gentle temperament, he looked like a scholar.

The two shook hands and exchanged small greetings.

"What's the name?" Zhang Zian asked.

The man took out a business card and handed it to him, "My surname is Meng, Meng Li, and I work as a teacher at Binhai University. I was introduced by Professor Wei Kang."

"So it was introduced by Professor Wei..." Zhang Zian felt a little surprised, "You also teach biology?"

He raised his vigilance, this person is not buying a pet under the guise of actually coming for Fina, right?

"No, no, I'm not from the School of Biology." Meng Li clarified, "I just happened to know each other. I want to buy a dog, but I don't know how to do it. I asked my colleagues, and Professor Wei Kang recommended you here. And He knows that your store is being renovated, and pets are being fostered here temporarily, so I just came over to have a look first."

"Oh, no wonder." Zhang Zian understood.

His pet is currently fostered in Sun Xiaomeng's clinic,

Ordinary customers may have doubts when they hear this situation, let alone wait here patiently. Meng Liken waited patiently here out of trust in Wei Kang's recommendation.

Although information is developed and there are many ways to obtain information, word of mouth among friends and colleagues is still relatively the most reliable channel, even for these highly educated talents.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Zhang Zian let go of his guard.

"Sorry, there isn't even a seat here. It's really bad hospitality." Zhang Zian said embarrassingly, "The shopkeeper here really has no eyesight. When a customer comes, he doesn't prepare a chair. I will be strict when I see her later. Criticize her...how about I move a chair?"

"No need." Meng Li declined, "I'll just stand."

Zhang Zian was just being polite in words, and didn't really intend to move the chair.

"Are you planning to buy a dog?" He got to the point.

"Yes." Meng Li not only replied affirmatively, but also pointed to a display cabinet and said, "I want that kind of cocker spaniel."

As soon as Zhang Zian heard it, he knew that this person had come prepared.

There are generally two types of customers in pet stores. One is customers who don’t know much about pets at all, and decide what to buy after seeing them; Come with common cats or dogs, such as huskies, Samoyeds, American Shorthairs, Ragdolls and the like.

The display cabinet did not indicate the breed of dogs or cats, and the cocker spaniel Meng Li pointed to was a very unpopular dog in China, and he could recognize it at a glance, which meant that he had either done his homework before coming here, or had seen or raised it before. Pass.

Zhang Zian was also quite surprised when he saw the cocker spaniel in the pet home breeding base. There are many breeds of this kind of dog abroad, but it is too unpopular in China, and almost no one buys it. It should be Sun Yinian's ideological guidance for seeking perfection imported. He weighed it in his heart for a while, and decided to buy one for a try, to see if he could find someone who knew the product.

It stands to reason that even if the customer has already specified the target and seems to have no objection to the condition, the business should be done well, and the next step is to negotiate the price. But Zhang Zian was not in a hurry, but asked a little meddlesomely: "Excuse me, have you raised an American Cocker Spaniel before?"

Meng Li shook his head slowly, and said calmly, "I haven't raised it."

"That's it." Zhang Zian paused for a while, and then asked again: "Do you mind if I ask, why did you specify this kind of dog? Is it because you like niche things?"

Niche songs, niche software, niche brands, niche novels... Where there is a "mass", there is a "niche". Some people really like it, not for the sake of the minority, while others like it to flaunt their individuality.

Without waiting for his answer, Zhang Zian continued: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. It's just that sometimes pets in the minority are more difficult to deal with when they get sick than common pets, so I have this question. Regarding this point, The store manager here knows better than me."

Meng Li was really puzzled just now. He didn't know why Zhang Zian asked such detailed questions. Hearing his explanation now, he felt relieved. Not only did he not feel unhappy, but he felt that the other party was very responsible. Professor Wei Kang's recommendation was not wrong.

"Actually, I haven't raised it myself, but when I was studying in the UK, the host I rented had such a dog." Meng Li looked at the cocker spaniel in the display cabinet, his eyes showing nostalgia mean.

"Well, I'm relatively introverted. Although the landlord's family is very enthusiastic, I always feel that I can't get involved - the social atmosphere and living habits are too different." He said with a soft sigh, and then added seriously: "And The food in the UK is like shit, it’s completely inedible. Not only me, but many Chinese students can’t eat it.”

"In that unfamiliar environment, I could only focus on my studies, and I was almost cut off from social and entertainment." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "The landlord's family probably thought I was difficult to get along with, and gradually Chilling - still responsive, but not as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning, of course, that's mostly my fault, not anyone else's."

"It was a tough time, but there was no place to complain. After all, everyone came here like this. I can only blame myself if I can't adapt to the environment. I can't regret it, and I don't even allow myself to have this idea-I squeezed out countless people for this study abroad quota. I fought for it after a lot of hard work. I can’t tell my parents, lest they worry. Only the cocker spaniel in the landlord’s house is very close to me, and it relieves me a lot of loneliness.” He said with a smile, the focus of his eyes fell on In a place far, far away.

"But we have to separate after all, right?" Zhang Zian said softly. He guessed some clues, because Meng Li was here and returned to China instead of staying in England.

"Yes, we have to say goodbye after all, just like my name." Meng Li said.
