Chapter 514: School Celebration Plan
Zhang Zian did not spend Christmas Eve abroad, but he is very clear about Christmas Eve in China. It is nothing more than a carnival for merchants, a good day for men's wallets, and a full hotel, so when he saw Uncle Li appearing wearing a Christmas hat At the door of the store, the whole person is not well!
Uncle Li noticed his strange eyes, took off his Christmas hat in embarrassment, and explained: "My old lady insisted on letting me wear it, saying that it can attract attention and promote sales."
Zhang Zian nodded. In order to avoid the estrangement between their husband and wife, he didn't say anything—it's true to attract attention, but it's not necessarily a promotion, and maybe he will be photographed and posted on Weibo...
"Why don't you tidy up here? Even my small dilapidated shop has been hung with colorful lights, and a whole plastic Christmas tree is placed at the door." Uncle Li put down the lunch box and looked at Zhang Zian's shop.
Zhang Zian smiled, "Actually, I was thinking about it a while ago, but I've been busy these days, so I forgot about it. When I opened my eyes this morning and saw the time on my phone, I realized that today is Christmas Eve."
"Be busy." Uncle Li nodded, "Busy is only when business is good."
Qiyuan Pet Store is no different from usual, it looks very different in the strong Christmas atmosphere. In the final analysis, Zhang Zian is too lazy to bother. He is not sure whether there will be more customers at Christmas than usual - logically speaking, it will not, and in foreign countries It is very common for parents to buy a kitten and puppy as a Christmas gift for their children, but in China Christmas is a holiday for young men and women, and it is rare to hear of anyone bringing a cat and dog to open a house...so he is very fond of Christmas If you are pessimistic about sales, it is better to concentrate on diving in some groups to grab red envelopes.
It was rare for Lu Yiyun, who was always immersed in painting, to take a day off for herself. She sat behind the cash register with Jasmine in her arms, and watched Xiaoxue's live broadcast with her mobile phone, smiling knowingly while watching.
Wang Qian and Li Kun went out to have dinner with their school classmates today, and they came here in the afternoon, so Zhang Zian only ordered two lunches for himself and Lu Yiyun.
"Xiao Yun, I'll go out in the afternoon. After lunch, you should leave work early." He put her lunch box on the cash register table.
Lu Yiyun stared at the mobile phone screen to watch the live broadcast, and nodded absent-mindedly. After a few clicks, she came back to her senses, "Huh? Get off work at noon?" She asked blankly.
Holding his lunch box, Zhang Zian explained: "I'm going to help Little Celery in the afternoon, and take Feimasi and Zhan Tian over there to let them pull the sled."
"Then there will be no one in the store this afternoon?" Lu Yiyun knew about this, and she was also present when the discussion was made that day.
"Anyway, it's Christmas Eve, and probably no one will come to buy pets, so you should go home early." Zhang Zian said pretending to be magnanimous.
Lu Yiyun simply shook her head and refused,
"No need, the house is not as warm as here, and the electric heater needs to be turned on, which costs money. The house I rent uses electricity for commercial use."
Zhang Zian: "..." The problem is that I also use electricity for business here!
Qiyuan Pet Store is a commercial and residential building facing the street, and he feels distressed for several days every time he pays the electricity and water bills.
As a last resort, he could only truthfully say: "Actually, I plan to bring some kittens and puppies to Celery's school celebration. Her show ends with Santa Claus appearing on a dog sleigh and giving some kittens and puppies as gifts." I gave it to my classmates. At first they planned to use their own plush toys instead, but I thought about it. If they use plush toys, this program may not have any sensational effect, because many boys are probably very fond of plush toys. I hate it, but it's different with real cats and real dogs..."
Lu Yiyun's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she exclaimed, "What a good idea! Mr. Store Manager, thank you for being able to figure it out! If this is the case, the program of Xiao Celery and her class is very likely to get a good ranking in the school celebration selection! "
It is conceivable that when Santa Claus pulls out a group of real kittens and puppies from the big bag, it will definitely cause a sensation among the audience.
"Well, it's just a sudden idea. Apart from being smart, I don't have any other advantages." Zhang Zian said modestly, but he was very grateful in his heart.
Lu Yiyun had long been used to his bragging, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Are the kittens and puppies really given to Xiao Celery's classmates?"
"how is this possible!"
Zhang Zian said categorically as if he had been insulted: "Of course it will be recovered after the show is over! Send it all out and I will die!"
"Oh……"
Regarding Zhang Zian's answer, Lu Yiyun could only say that it was as expected. If he said to send out all the kittens and puppies, then she would really suspect that tomorrow would be the end of the world...
"But even so, the recycling process should be a bit troublesome, right? Mr. Store Manager, you are a cat trainer. It's easy to keep the kittens from running around, but what about those puppies?" She asked a logical question.
Since Zhang Zian planned to close the store in the afternoon, he must have brought a lot of kittens and puppies, to the extent that it affected the business of the store. Just imagine, Lu Yiyun, on the stage of the school auditorium, when Santa Claus releases kittens and puppies, they must be running around in a daze. It is a troublesome thing to recycle, and if you are not careful, you may lose a few of them—don’t Let alone a few, even if one is missing, Zhang Zian will turn the school upside down.
"That's right, so I plan to bring Wang Qian and Li Kun with me in the afternoon, and let them take care of me in the audience." Zhang Zian also thought of this question.
Lu Yiyun lowered her head and took a few bites of rice into her mouth. Xiaoxue on the phone screen was frowning, forcing a piece of special delicacy that didn't look good into her mouth.
"Then...Mr. Store Manager, can I also go and have a look? I can help you a bit..." She hesitated for a while, and carefully asked.
Lu Yiyun's current life basically only consists of a home and a pet store, and she hasn't been to other places for a long time. Today is Christmas, she didn't take the order, and she is going to give herself a day off, but what do you do during the holiday? The pet shop will be temporarily closed, and Xiaoxue's live broadcast will end soon, and the rest of the time she just goes home to lie down and read comics or make up episodes, which is actually no different from usual.
She wanted to try to change her life, even a little bit. Although there are many interesting things in Binhai City, if she is allowed to go by herself, she will only feel more lonely. Since Zhang Zian, Wang Gan, and Li Kun were all going to Little Celery's elementary school to visit the school celebration, she also wanted to go with her, just to relax. In addition, she likes little Celery very much, so she should go to support her.
Of course Zhang Zian was happy, one more person would mean less chance of losing kittens and puppies.
"You have no other plans today?" he confirmed.
"No." Lu Yiyun shook her head.
"Okay, then when Wang Qian and Li Kun come, let's close the door and set off!"
