Chapter 611: Waiting in Line

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian wasn't greedy for the wallet. He just picked it up out of curiosity, intending to wait patiently for the owner.

Snowy's wallet was a rare peacock-blue color. The small H-shaped buckle on the front of the wallet not only indicated that the wallet was luxurious, but also added a pop of color.

Zhang Zian was relieved when Snowy said that her wallet was a knockoff. If the wallet was genuine, it would've cost more than all the money Zhang Zian had stuffed into his own wallet in his whole life! He'd be devastated if such an expensive item was dragged on the ground.

Were knockoffs these days good enough to be mixed up with the genuine ones? Zhang Zian admired the wallet's smooth and delicate texture very much. He decided to ask Snowy where she bought such an incredible knockoff wallet. If the price was less 1,000 Yuan, he'd buy a men's wallet to show off.

Vivi was perplexed. Snowy's mother bought her that wallet from the brand store when she was traveling in Europe. Snowy's mother also gave Vivi a wallet of the same design. Was it true that the brand store sold knockoffs?

Vivi saw that before Snowy left her house, she chose the wallet randomly from her collection of wallets and handbags in her locker room. Since Snowy didn't like carrying heavy handbags, she selected the wallet that was big enough to hold her cell phone.

Due to the relatively low camera resolution on Snowy's cell, the audience watching the broadcast couldn't see the style of the wallet clearly, so it was difficult for them to tell whether the wallet was genuine or not.

Snowy dusted off the dirt on her wallet and put it into her pocket. She changed the subject and said, "Mr. Store Manager, what's going on here? Can you tell us about it?"

"You'll see when you enter the store," Zhang Zian said. Any restaurant Snowy visited witnessed a rapid increase in customers for a short time, except for a few shops like the Teahouse in Hidden Fog that were too highbrow to be popular. Hence why Zhang Zian wanted Snowy to see for herself.

Snowy looked at the line and frowned. The line wasn't long, but it was moving slowly. One or two customers would leave the snack bar at a time, and only after staying a long time.

Snowy was hesitant. How long would it take to enter the store? Should I come back another time?

Vivi, who had nothing better to do, didn't mind waiting in line. She extended her neck and looked ahead.

"I don't think you should go in there," Zhang Zian advised Vivi.

"What? Why?" Vivi was surprised.

He explained, "This is a snack bar that has cats. You're allergic to cats, aren't you?"

"Really?" Vivi asked, "Isn't there a Siberian cat in the snack bar?"

"No, Siberian cats are a very niche breed. Do you think you can meet Siberian cats in any shop?" Zhang Zian said, pointing to a sign hanging on the entrance door that said, "There are cats in the snack bar, and those who are allergic to cats should take sole responsibility for entering."

"What should I do? Did I come all this way for nothing?" Vivi asked dejectedly.

Zhang Zian looked around and saw Wang Qian and Li Kun stumbling to his pet shop. They looked tired, like they stayed up late last night.

"Wang Qian, Li Kun, come here!" Zhang Zian called.

The boys were surprised to see Zhang Zian in front of the snack bar and quickly ran over to him.

Zhang Zian told them to get in line for Snowy, so that she could do other things first. Snowy's visit would attract more customers to Uncle Li's snack bar, so Zhang Zian came up with the idea to secure Snowy a seat inside.

Snowy was grateful, but embarrassed. She wasn't impatient, she just worried that the audience watching her had no interest in waiting in line for too long.

Vivi said with frustration, "What about me? Should I go home?"

Snowy didn't want Vivi to go home by herself. What if she was kidnapped on her way home?

"Since we have nothing better to do, we can visit Zhang Zian's pet shop. Vivi, put on your mask," Snowy suggested.

Vivi hesitated, but then put on an anti-smog mask.

"Mr. Store Manager, can we go to your shop?" Snowy asked Zhang Zian.

Uncle Li had already returned to the kitchen to prepare meals for his customers. Zhang Zian also had to return to his pet shop with lunch for the elves, so he nodded.

While Wang Qian and Li Kun waited in line, Zhang Zian, Snowy and Vivi returned to the pet shop.

A white Maserati Ghibli was parked in front of the shop. Such luxury cars weren't common in Binhai City. Walking around the car in astonishment, Zhang Zian thought, Is there a wealthy person visiting my shop?

Snowy and Vivi glanced at this luxury car and walked into the shop. They weren't as stunned as Zhang Zian.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Zian saw a middle-aged rich woman standing in front of the checkout counter and talking to Lu Yiyun in a very rude manner. The middle-aged woman wore a fur coat with a fur-trimmed collar, a black leather dress, and golden jewels on her fingers, neck, and ears. She was about forty years old, but thanks to proper skin care, her face had few wrinkles.

She was holding an eight-year-old boy, who was rather curious about the animals in the shop and wanted to break free of the woman's hands to play with them. A typical naughty boy.

To be honest, boys at his age gave Zhang Zian the biggest headache. Yi Le had caused a lot of trouble.

Someone once said that boys of eight years were the most terrible creature on earth because they had the curiosity and ability to destroy everything. However, they were protected by the Law of the People's Republic of China on Protection of Minors.
