Chapter 578: Convincing People with Virtue

"What's the matter with the two of you?" Zhang Zi'an asked.

Lin Qi was standing outside, casually playing with the dazzling array of pet food bowls on the shelves, while gossiping with his companions. Seeing Zhang Zi'an, he didn't care about anything else, first pulled him aside, and whispered with a bitter face: "I said Store Manager Zhang, you sold my Ashera cat last time, and now it's a dick that is blowing up!"

"What's going on?" Zhang Zi'an asked curiously.

"The cat's cry at night was so pervasive and fierce that no one dared to spend the night with it where it stayed, and now it occupied a villa of its own, which was originally a holiday villa of our family, and became its territory. Lin Qi complained, "By the way, I heard Xiaoxue say, you have a way to make a dog that likes to bark not bark, so is there a way to make a cat that likes to bark not bark?"

Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "I can't help this one." Dogs can be trained, cats are hard. ”

"But aren't you a cat tamer?" Lin Qi asked unwillingly.

"The cat is an artificial species, and the wild nature in the body is too strong, in fact, it cannot be regarded as a domestic cat in the conventional sense, and it is closer to a wild cat than a domestic cat. Zhang Zi'an explained seriously. In fact, the real reason is that the domestic cat blood in Athera's body is too thin, and Fina can't control it.

Lin Qi: "......"

He looked at no one on the left and right, lowered his voice, and said, "Store Manager Zhang, what if...... Would it be better for me to quietly release that cat?"

Zhang Zi'an: "I advise you to dispel this idea, you don't call it release, you call it death." The cat has been raised since childhood, and I am afraid that it has long lost its hunting nature, and if you release it, it will starve to death. You don't have to be afraid, the cat just looks fierce on the outside, and its bark sounds infiltrating, but it's actually quite cute. ”

"Where is the cuteness?" Lin Qi cried bitterly, really tearing up to himself.

Zhang Zi'an said again: "Besides, if you release it and are seen by other citizens, maybe you will call the police." ”

"Call the police?" Lin Qi was stunned.

Zhang Zi'an recalled: "Haven't you seen the news before? It is said that in 2016, a serval was released in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then someone witnessed it foraging in an ordinary residential area, and the witnesses thought that the cheetah in the zoo had escaped and was so frightened that they quickly called the police, which made the locals panic." After some twists and turns, the serval from the African savannah was finally subdued by the invincible chengguan team. If you release the cat, do you want to make a big news in Marina City? In the end, it is found that you released the cat, but don't confess that I sold it to you. ”

Lin Qi's expression suddenly froze, almost like eating a dozen flies, and he said as if he had something unspeakable: "Store Manager Zhang, take a step to speak." ”

He beckoned to his companions, the person was about the same age as Lin Qi, full of famous brands, dressed very fashionably, and had the same sad face as Lin Qi, and after listening to what Zhang Zi'an said just now, he seemed even more worried.

Zhang Zi'an wondered, not knowing what Lin Qi was sneaking up on, so he followed him to the corner of the store, avoiding the other customers who were buying pets in the store.

"Store Manager Zhang, this is a good friend of mine, surnamed Gao, called Gao Zhuo. Lin Qi introduced.

"Hello, Store Manager Zhang, I've heard of a big name for a long time!" Gao Zhuo nodded, took out a pack of brand-name cigarettes from his pocket, and handed Zhang Zi'an cigarettes.

"No, I don't smoke. Zhang Zi'an politely refused, "Just say anything directly, don't be too polite, say anything like 'long-standing admiration', I don't have any fame at all, okay!"

"No, no, no, store manager Zhang, you are too polite! Before I came, I ran several pet stores and catteries, and everyone recommended you here, and then I discussed with this good buddy, and he even highly recommended you here, if this is not a long-term admiration, I really don't know what a long-term admiration is called. The reverence and curiosity on Gao Zhuo's face didn't seem like a pretend.

That's evil.

Zhang Zi'an knows that his peers are enemies, and everyone can't wait for the entire Binhai City and even the world to be the only one that sells pets, why do those pet shops and catteries recommend him to Gao Zhuo in unison? Is this the so-called virtue to convince people?

Lin Qi also helped: "Yes, Store Manager Zhang, don't be polite, in our Binhai City, your level is recognized, who doesn't know the famous cat tamer......?"

"Don't talk this nonsense, what the hell are you going to do?" Zhang Zi'an interrupted.

Lin Qi and Gao Zhuo glanced at each other and exchanged glances several times, looking like they both wanted the other party to say.

Gao Zhuo's eyes were more resolute, after all, Lin Qi had met Zhang Zi'an a few times, and he had also bought a cat from Zhang Zi'an, so he should have said it.

Lin Qi couldn't refuse, so he had to say helplessly: "Store Manager Zhang, the first time we met was in the dog market, right?"

Zhang Zi'an nodded, "That's right." ”

Lin Qi said again: "At that time, I said that because my buddy had a serval, I fell in love with the ocelot in the dog market. ”

He pointed at Gao Zhuo, "This is my buddy." ”

Zhang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gao Zhuo again, "The serval cat you have at home?"

Gao Zhuoren is as his name suggests, he is indeed quite tall, and he is about the same height as Luo Qingyu from the Photography Club of Binhai University, but he is not as thin as Luo Qingyu.

"Yes, I used to ask someone to find a relationship to get one. Gao Zhuo admitted, "Because I heard that many rich people in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are raised, so I also want to follow the trend and play." ”

"So?" Zhang Zi'an still didn't understand what this had to do with him.

In China, it is illegal to keep servals privately, unless you have a wildlife breeding license, but it is true that many of the rich are raising them privately, and this kind of thing is not prosecuted. And for the rich, it is not difficult to get a relevant document through a relationship, at least it will not be more difficult than getting a serval.

"When I bought this serval, it was only a little bigger, very cute, similar to an ordinary kitten, not fierce, my family also liked it, others came to my house as guests, we were willing to take it out for the guests to see, many guests exclaimed when they saw it, asked us if this is a juvenile cheetah. Gao Zhuo eyebrows danced and gestured.

Zhang Zi'an nodded, the appearance of the serval is more similar to the cheetah, and it is easy for people who are not familiar with animals to confuse, but as long as there is a little common sense, they can distinguish the serval from the cheetah by their ears. Servals have large, tall ears, and cheetahs have small, round ears. All the body characteristics of the cheetah are in the service of running speed, and the oversized ears do not conform to aerodynamics. Servals are not as tough and extreme as cheetahs, and they need large ears to better pick up on sounds around them and avoid predators.

However, juvenile servals don't have that big ears and are more difficult to distinguish from cheetahs.

Lin Qi proved from the side: "That's it, when I first saw it at his house, I thought it was a cheetah." ”

Zhang Zi'an listened quietly, these two people definitely didn't come here to exchange how cute the juvenile serval was.

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Gao Zhuo said with a bitter face, "Maybe it's fed too well, this serval grows very fast, and in my feeling, it seems to have grown up in the blink of an eye......"

"Wild animals mature quickly, because of their genes, and the cruel environment in the wild does not allow them to grow leisurely. Zhang Zi'an said.

"When I was a child, I watched a lot of animal movies, about people and beasts, lions, tigers, etc., if you raise them from a young age, they will still be very close to their owners when they grow up, so I thought the serval was the same......," Gao Zhuo said.

Zhang Zi'an smiled dumbly, "You misunderstood, it's a movie, and eighty percent of it is a movie for children." The movie won't specifically remind you that those are zoologists who are well versed in the habits of wild animals, and minors should not imitate them. Even if lions and tigers are raised from childhood, they are still beasts of prey, and smart people will not provoke them when they are hungry and in heat...... As for those who really keep the beast as a pet, the grave grass is estimated to be more than a meter tall. ”

Gao Zhuo sighed and said regretfully: "I know now, but it's a pity that it's too late." I just heard you say that the serval in Suzhou and Hangzhou was released, in fact, I almost released my serval...... Since a while ago, it began to pee in the house, glaring at people from time to time, especially at night, the screaming was infiltrating...... Now when a guest comes to my house, I don't dare to take it out for the guest to see, because I am afraid of scaring people and scaring them again......"

Lin Qi looked at his old friend, with a sympathetic expression on his face, patted him and didn't speak.

"It's time to be in heat. Zhang Zi'an simply came to a conclusion.

Screaming and urinating is the most obvious feature of estrus, in order to attract the opposite sex to come and mate.

Gao Zhuo swallowed his saliva, "If it's just like this, it doesn't matter, just call it, and urinate it, anyway, I have a lot of rooms, anyway, my family has a full-time cleaner, and it's no problem to serve a serval." But the problem is ......"

Speaking of this, he slurred even more, and looked at Lin Qi with a twinkle in his eyes.

Lin Qi urged: "Since you are here, don't hide it, just say it all, and see if Store Manager Zhang can find a way to help you solve it." ”

"Okay...... Gao Zhuo hesitated a few times, and finally made up his mind and said: "My family not only has this pet, but also a Bomei in addition to the serval. Hiromi used to be raised somewhere else, but my mother raised her, and she brought it with me not long ago. Then one day, the serval bit Hiromi to death......"

Lin Qi had already heard it before he came, and he still shuddered when he heard it again.

When Zhang Zi'an heard this, he was speechless.

He understood why Gao Zhuo's expression was as torn as constipation.

This is not a trivial matter, the serval can bite Hiromi to death today, and it may bite tomorrow, even if it doesn't, this heart is also oozing panic, just like staying with a time bomb, maybe it will explode one day.
